"allow me." His voice floated to me softly. He slowly removed
my shoes, then my socks placing them neatly upon the floor. The picked
up a bag from bed side and pulled out a beautiful white cotton night gown,
almost victorian and very modest. Smiling he handed it to me.
He slid my pants down my hips and legs, with a soft non sexual touch, and
then removed my top and helped me withmy bra. His eyes adverted as
i slid the gown on. I laydown upon the pillow, stress creating tension
in me. With out a word he picked up my right foot and began tomassage
it. A little moan escaped my lips, but still he did not met my eyes or
look me in the face. A blush had settled almost permenantly on his
face as he worked. Gentle strong hands worked the knots out of my
feet and made me into putty. When he finished with both feet he pulled
the covers up to my chin and leaned down like he was going to kiss my forehead.
He pulled suddenly back and edged tio the other side of the room.
Lowering the lights her got into the other bed. I lay in the darkness
a long time listening to him breath, realizing how much i missed hearing
a man breathing inthe night. How i missed the warmth of arms around
me. Tears slid slowly down my face, and i knew no matter how much
i missed it, i would never do it again. A woman could only be burned
so much. Sleep finally laimed me.
"Im not going to schooltoday mom, the boys were mean again." With a content sigh i rolled over into a body? My eyes flew open. Brian lay next to me, drooling upon the pillow, to the left of my lay papa drooling onto the floor. I looked up to meet andrew's eyes and he looked down quickly.
"I thought i should wake you. I was told you need to go to Gin's room to find a dress for you. To quote t minus 9 hours till show time." He spoke softly and almost fragile like to me. I nodded and slide out of the bed. How odd that im sure used to sleeping with these two men i dont notice thementer a bed anymore. I quickly dressed and Andrew led me to gin's room and scurried off. Its odd seeing such a big man scurry. The door swung open before i could knock and gin smiled and pulled me inside. The place was wrecked, cloth and thread lay all over.
"Gin sweety what you been up to?" She impishly grinned and pulled me into the bathroom.
"Strip to your panties." was all she said and icomplied. She walked out and walked back in with a garement bag and a blind fold. Blindfolding me first, then making surei cant see. I hear a zipper on the bag go down,then another one. Pure silk caresses my skin as she slides the garment on. She zipps it up and i know its a perfect fit. The blindfold falls off and my mouth drops. Hugging my body like a daring second glove was yard of forest green silk with a leaf overlay. Chinese in design it had what seemed to be a high neck with a daring heart cut out right above my breasts that had my cleavage as the point. It fell to almost my feet in waves in the front. The back was backless from the neck/collar to my lower back where a trail came off of. A fairy princess vixen come to life. I could not speak, i could not move, i just stared.
"Gin i how when oh my god is that me in the mirror?" She started to laugh.
"As soon as we heard about your dress, with blackie's help,all night and yes honey that you. It has a built in push up bra for some more cleavage. Maybe youll be debra for puppiesof the year." We both laughed loudly. "I got matching shoes for you, and made a handbag. the trail can be detached. But i think you are going to knock them dead. I think we will do you hair with chinese sticks and your make up mandarian style. Now all you need is a date. Anyone in mind?" I tilted my head
"I had lied and said demo was taking me. Jeff Hardy asked, but hayes dragged himoff. Maybe this chickie should fly solo." Ismoothly replied and she shook her head no.
"Sarah and shannon are out looking for the jewlery and hair stuff. Tyg,jean and kat are finding you a man and mary is buying you new clothes. All on Vince;s tab, curtosy of linda." I grin and just stare at myself in the mirror. A tear runs down my face. She brushes it away.
"I;m blessed with friends like you guys. i dont know how i can ever
repay this." Blackie walks by and whistles at me. Gin gets
an odd smile on her face.
"Honey you already did. Come one we got a few hours left to do
hair,nails,makeup and a man." i got redressed in street clothes and we
headed off.
"Cinderella eat your heart out." I gasped and looked about. "So who is my prince charming?" They looked at each other and grinned a you will see look. There was a knock on the door, Papa came in side and the girls led me out to him.
"Come on honey the limo awaits you." He tucked my arm into his, i felt like prom night! We walked through the lobby, people stopping and staring and smiling. A perfect white streach limo awaited outside. We paused outside it for wwf magazine to take photos and Austin opened the door to it. I looked at him as he walked awat.
"papa? I'm not going with you?" He smiled and shook his head no
and went in. I guess i was flying solo, i leaned my fore head against
the limo.I wont cry, iwont cry i wont cry. Someone taped me on the
shoulder and i spun around to face my date. My mouth fell and i tried
to pick it up.
"Ariana you look wow umm gee ahh umm wow umm hi." He stated haltingly, softly and shyly. We both blushed and looked down.
"Andrew umm ahh well hhmm ahh emm rorw hi." again we blushed
and he nervously handed me the roses. I almost dropped them. He took
my hand in his, both now slicked with sweat and helped me intothe limo.
We sat as far apart as two people could. Occasionaly one of us would
try to speak and then halter. This is going to be an intresting evening.
The limo arrived and someone opened the door. Andrew stepped out
admid flash bulbs and then reached in for me. I steped out and was
blinded. People were calling his name all over, no one seemed to recoginze
me. I could hear whisperes of who is she? I really did feel like
cinderella at that moment. Tyg and Val appeared besides us and lead
us in. Once in side the gossip did not stop. Heads held up like royalty
we walked to our seats and sat. Our group took up two rows i noticed
with pride.What a fine group we were. Andrew and i tried not to touch
each other on the arm rest, but it was hard. People kept comming
over and talking to him and others but never addressing me. It was
soo odd. The awards show started and i found myself yawning alot.
I was up for two awards or so i thought. Best new writer, and best
match writing. I knew my catagories were buried so i did not care.
Dozing i felt andrew nudge me. Quietly he stated,
"Wake up this important." I nodded and saw Austin on the podeium.
"This year the Slammys have decided to start a new award. Greatest
Achievement done by a wrestler under the age of 30, Cause by 30 most of
us are over the hill." He paused and laughed." It honors me greatly
to present this award to a person who has not only seen the tough times
of the mat, knows the true meaning of hard core, and can turn a match with
a look. But also has touched us deeply in the WWF. Helped solve
a major corperate problem last year, and wrote the way into many of our
hearts. It is my honor to present the first slammy award of this
nature to my." He make quotes with hisfingers. "daughter Arianna, also
know as Kismet in the WWF and RWA." The room erupted into applauds and
i froze like a deer in headlights. What was going on? They all stood
clapping and Andrew nudged my arm. I dazily managed to walk up to
accept the award from Austin. He handed it to me and kissed my cheek.
I stood staring at the sea of people, tears running down my cheeks.
"First I need to and must thank My ladies, they made me who i am and
made my dress." I laughed."My best supporters no matter what. I must thank
the WWF for their continued help. And the RWA for taking a chance on an
unknown. Those who lay inside my heart know who they are and know
i thank them." I held the award up. "Cinderella eat your heart out,i earned
this one." Laghter and cheers filled the hall as i was helped back
to my seat. I sat dazed, Twice more they annoucned my name and i said simplu
thank you. Once the show was over we slipped out to the limos to
head to the after party.
"Yes matt?" I softly asked.
"congradulations Arianna, you deserve it." I blushed under his quiet praise.
"Thank you matt." he nooded his head and i heard Kat gasp. A furious Hayes was storming towards us, face red in anger. He grabbed Matt's arm so roughly it had to hurt.
"Get away from the bitch matt."He said low but furious. THAT was it, i stood up and in my loudest voice said.
"MR HAYES i suggest you undhand this gentleman and stop insulting me like that." The room stood still and he spit at me. My hand reached out and grabed him by the throat and squeezed lightly. "I suggest you let him go, a bit more pressue and a twist and ill have your throat in my hand detached from your body." My eyes glittered dangerously and my voice grew cold. "let himgo. The hardy Boyz are not your slaves. He is here as my friend and guest." Andrew had stood up next to me and removed hayes hand froms matt's arm. I removed my hand from his throat and security led him away. "Ok folks shows over go back to what ever you doing." I sighed and sat. I motioned for matt to join us, he shook his head and ran off. What an odd boy. Austin came over and asked me for a dance, and i joined him. The night flew by in hours and hours of dancing, my feet were killing me. Half way through i removed my shoes and stuck them under my table. I returned to dancings, and had lost track of my partners. Finally relazing i was waltzing with the blue meanie, i was shocked at what a good dancer he was. Some one tapped him on the shoulder and cut in.
"Evening jeff." I said wamrly and he smiled as we moved across the floor.
"Evening arianna. And may i tell you how wonderfully breathtaking you look." I giggled lightly
"yes you may." He pulled me closer and i lay my head on his shoulder. This time hayes could not inturrupt. Unaware of four sets of eyes upon us we danced. I guess its not properor something but i kept him as my partner for three more dances. Breathlessly we parted and i walked back to my table. I peered underneath and only one shoe was there. Looking around Gin caught my puzzled look.
"What hon?" She inquired.
"Ok im now really cinderella. some one stole my shoe!." I threw my
hands up in the air and she laughed. We passed word around but no one had
seen the shoe thief. I pooped out before most people and headed to the
limo to go home. Sliding in, alone, i realized there was something in it.
my hand started to feel around before i foundit. My mouth opened in a small
shocked smile. What had my admire left me?
I want to lose all your deamons,
i want to tear off your chains
cause i know
all the way to heaven
caught between the spirit and the dust
heaven is deep inside of us.
How can i face you knowing you fear deep inside what i want to give
you?
How can i speak your name, for i know i say it like a hopeless prayer?
My eyes can not meet yours for my truth burns to bright in them.
My voice can not reach your ears for my promises lie upon them.
My hands can not touch you for i know my emotions flow through them.
I am hell living with out you,
with out your touch,
with out your voice,
with out your body being held by me in the long dark nights.
Let me chase away your fears,
let me rip of your chains that bind,
let me show you what love means.
I pray someday i can."
I sighed and closed my eyes. Prince charming cut to the truth
and straight to the heart. I'm scared of going on, i shiver like
im cold. I know when sean and i broke up i cut that part of me off.
Could anyone awaken what lies deep with in? The limo arrived to the
hotel and i steped out. Slipped my shoe on and rode the elevator
back to my room. I realized no one gave me a key and i knocked
tentatively. For the hell of it i tried to door and for somereason
the door knob turned. I inched into the room in the darkness and a hand
grabbed me from behind. Another one cut off my scream. Someone's
breath was hot upon my ear. They whispered to me to not scream, if
i did i would regret it. I was thrown upon the bed, and they started
to tear my dress off. The silk gave way easily, i tried to fight
and was hit hard. Paralized i lay upon the bed as my clothes fell
away,leaving me in my underware and pantyhose.
"please dont." i raspily whispered. They slapped me again.
"Shut up bitch." My throat was grabbed and squeezed hard. I tried
to struggle, tears coursing down my face. Prayers running through
my head as he tore my panty hose roughtly off. As his hand assulted me
inside my underware i tried to bite him. His handleft my neck and slapped
me again. Fucking hell where was everyone? I heard the sick tearing
of my undies and gave up the fight. The sound of his zipper sent
chills through my spine. Shutting my eyes i tensed and waited.
"Jesus ARIANA WHAT HAPPENED HERE?" Papa screamed and i curled up into a ball and started to sob. Andrew scooped me up in his arms despite my protests.
"I cam back and soem one was in here. He he he he."I couldnt get the words out.
"I think we surprised him before he could honey, We saw the door open, started in and someone knocked us over to run out of the room. We were too concerned about you to go after him." Papa spoke softly as Andrew stroke my hair. We voted to not call the police because of a media circus. But he did alert others of what had transpiered and in moments the room was filled. I sat in the corner of the room wearing one of andrew's shirts and it soothed me abit. Tygress held me tight as the men talked. I blocked it all out and could only concerntrate on the man. My face ached, my lip was split, my cheek cut, my eyes black and blue. But my mind wasthe worse hurt. Just another example to me, just another reason why never again. I lifted my head high and stood. My eyes met each man's inthe room, Andrew looked away quickly, Brian started back and papa raised his eyebrow. In what was i hoped a clear calm voice i stated.
"Gentleman i need sleep, can you continue this else where?" They
all seemed shocked but moved and left. Tygress and lenac were to spend
the night with me and keep watch. Once the men left we began to search
the room for clues. Shoved under the bed was a red bandanna that
i know did not belong to our guys. Was it his? We carefully
placed it in a baggy and filed it away. All three of us climbed into
bed after locking the door and feel into an uneasy sleep.
"Arianna." He said my name softly almost like a caress, i didnt want him to know i was awake. Could he be the poet? "You poorpoor thing what did that horrible man do to you." Footsteps were heard and matt looked up. He held his hands up in defense almost.
"What you doingin here?" Andrew''s voice was almost a growl.
"Just watching over her thats it i swear. I wouldnever hurt her.."He trailed off, gently set my head on the bed and from the sound of his foot steps ranaway. Andrew cursed quiet violetently as he covered me and sat beside the bed. I could feel his eyes examening me.
"Jesus arianna." He whispered quietly. "why didnt i leave with you? Why did this happen?" His voice broke and i could hear him crying softly. I was fine, why were these guys flipping.
"Andrew?" I muttered as if half asleep and let my eyelids flicker. I caught site of him whiping the tears way.
"I'm here." He gently took my hand and helped me sit up. "How you feeling?"
"A bit sore but fine otherwise. I have to get packed. oh wait i dont have clothes." I sighed. "the girls have to head up to the cabin to set up."
"Whoa slow down girly, yes we will go to the cabin. But papa is taking you." I nodded and he sat behind me and began to rub my shoulders. I moaned deeply and he stiffened almost then continued.
"thats heavenly." I sighed. He stoped suddenly and gotup
"I got to get austin." and wioth that he ran out of the room leaving
me confused.
The cabin was HUGE! A finished basement, main floor had a huge kitchen, a den, a pooltable room, a bath room, a wreck room, and a deck outside that over looked the mountains and a garden. The second floor had bedrooms and two bathrooms. And for some oddreason in the main foyer was a chandelier. How odd. The den had a huge wrap around white couch, a huge color tv, vcr, and fire place with a running ledge you could sit on. We figured most people would be in there. Papa Austin stood in the kitchen wearing an apron, cherf's hat. and his jeans. The apron said, Kiss the cook cause stone cold said so. He had a bbq fork in one hand and an oven mit in another. Kissing my cheek hello, then went back to setting up the kitchen. I guess that was his area. Lenac,gin,shannon and sarah were setting upguest rooms and getting ready, while mary,kat and tyg were setting up the back deck and was already decked out. Weeks ago i had prearranged who was bringing what. so all we had to do was wait. I decided to explore the house and found a green room, a hottub room, and a padded room. I dont think i wanna know about that. Papa sent me upstairs and i put on make up to cover the cuts and burises and slipped into jeans and on a whim a black short sleave shirt with Do you get it? written on it. Comming down the stairs i heard a knock and answered it with a grin.
"Attiude party, gotta have some to get some, come on in." I said as i swung the door open. Alicia stood there with paul and very evil grins.
"I think we cover those bases." I laughed and paulheld up two
cases of beer. Pointing to the kitchen i told him to put them in papa's
domian. They walked in side followed closely by Mr ass and joxxy, seems
dx is still dx. Cause walking in behind them was joanie and brian.
They had brought chips and soda and i was thankful. I closed
the door behind them and went to finish getting ready.
"gotta have attitude to get in." i said as i opened the door to nothing,
then i looked down. Head sat on the door mat with a bottle of wine
next to it. Odd head and no al. "Al?" I called out softly and he stepped
into my sight grinning. He waved, picked head upa nd walked in. I
had to laugh. As soon as mick saw him they ran together to the padded
room to play some odd game called stick head. They are intresting people.
Melssia ethridge came on the stero and i sighed, i love this song.
"I wanna roll down the window and teach you to fly. i waanna give you
a thirll you just can buy. I wanna tear of your chain." I stoped singing
at that point, hmm my romeo knows melissa lyrics. how cool! I quietly
closed the door and went back to the party. Mark passed me once in
the hall so i knew he was there. Where was andrew and the hardyz?
"evening sugar." Jeff drawled and i giggled.
"come on in guys the party is in full swing." Jeff handed me
a rose and walked in, matt shyly gave me a daisy and went in. how
curious. I went to shut the door and a foot stoped me. I opened it
and andrew's eyes met mine. We both blushed. He walked in calmly
and smoothly. Damn the man moves like a cat! I couldnt help my self,
iwatched his ass as he walked down the hall to the deck. Getting
a grip on myself i shut the door and made my rounds. Once in the
kitchen i grabbed a glass of wine and headed to the den. Jeff had
sat down with val and tyg and were in deep convo. Matt i think had
gone to play pool and andrew was on the deck. I sat on the cold stone by
the fire place and noticed brian was still alone nursing a beer.
Sipping my wine i caught him watching me out of the corner of my eye.
Intresting, wonder what he is thinking. Mentally shurging i let my
self relax. The door bell rung and i sat up. We had a door bell?
and no one used it?? I got up and opened it. A man stoodthere
holding a florists box. He asked me to sign and i did. I brought
the box into the kitchen and laid it on the counter. It was addressed to
me. I opened the box to two dozen beautiful white roses. Then opened
the the card and read it then i began to violently shake. Tears started
to roll down my eyes. In violent red pen was written."Too bad we
couldnt finish last night. The roses remind me of your soft skin.
We will finish i promise." I started to scream.
"What? did i grow a third eye?" I asked, everyonelaughed and shook their
heads. "I got an idea, why dont everyone gather and we play thruth
or dare?" My eyes gleamed evilly. Joanie and lenac went in
to fetch everyone. They said that sarah and ken where upstrairs,wink
wink. and Dwayne and shannon were locked in the hottub room. Al and
mick would not leave the bath room, but everyone else was comming.
This should be very intresting.
"Truth or dare." Sarah froze and wilted into ken's arms.
"truth?" She quietly mumbled.
"What excatly did you and ken do the night of the loony bin?" She grinned evilly.
"Slept and he stamped sane on my head." Kat sighed dissapointed. Sarah turned to blackie. "Truth or dare?"
"Umm umm."He looked at gin, she shurged. "Dare?" He answered in a question.
"I dare you too umm too. hmm."Sarah started to think "I dare you to."Ken bent and whispered in her ear, she lightening up. "i dare you to strip in the center of the circle, then run around withyour undies on your head." He cussed a blue streak and stood up, strippedto nothing. Most men covered their honey's eyes. Gin sat grinning, as he ran in circles nude. I snapped pictures with out himknowing. He sat down after getting dressed and turned on paul w.
"Truth or dare?" Paul blinked at blackie
"Truth." He calmly stated,
"When the hell you asking jean to marry you?" Gin looked down ta her
engagment ring. We all blinked
"I did last night." All heads swivled and jean held up her ringed
hand. "now its my turn." Paul laughed deeply. "hmmm Arianna." My head snapped
quickly up. "Truth or dare." I tilted my head.
"Dare" I replied with less bravo than i had. He smiled
"i dare you to do a provacative lap dance for...."his voice trailed
off.
