“The words of GREATNESS...in the Flesh.” I turned my television in a state half way between amusement and disgust. It wouldn’t take much to turn Anderson into a mini-me version of Malave. Hell, he was already passed Sean’s level when it came to being an arrogant son of a bitch. But that’s neither here nor there. And I could really care less, the man was a decent wrestler and I guess that’s what’s important.
I turned my head to look at Whisper who was still sleeping beside me. And the more I stared at her the more I could feel my anger well up inside me. Even after her outburst last week, taking off and not coming back for four day; even after that I could never stay mad at her. I loved her so I knew she had her reasons, whatever they may be.
I will say this though, I’ve never seen her that mad. I finally got it out of her what happened, she told me she went to her farm, the farm that her and her ex-fiancé owned. Something happened out their, I don’t know what, and it’s really none of my business, but I hated seeing my goddess in such a state of despair. I sighed, there wasn’t anything I could really do if she wouldn’t let me. So I’d do the only thing I could, I would be there for her, to protect her.
I sighed again and got out of bed. The more I tried to rationalize all this the more it just fucked with my head. I guess if I wanted the whole story I was going to have to go to the source. But I couldn’t do that. Could I? I flipped on the coffee pot, letting the bitter liquid within brew. Once the coffee was done I poured myself a cup and set at the kitchen table, my head resting in my hands.
Whisper woke up the aroma of coffee permeating the small apartment. She sat up in the bed, the black satin of her nightgown pooling in her lap. She walked into the kitchen and saw LoKi sitting at the table and instantly knew something was wrong. She walked behind him and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him gently on the cheek. “Good morning,” she purred, “baby, what’s wrong?” I turned my head, kissing her back. “Nothing really, I’m just worried about you is all. I’ve never seen you so…out of it, so angry.”
She sighed and tried to smile. “I guess it’s just with everything that’s happened lately, getting taken out of my match without being told why, Prophet and his fucking mind games, it just all adds up.” Whisper kissed her man once more before sliding into the seat next to him. “I suppose,” I said wearily, “but I was talking more about the condition you came home after your trip. Whisp…what the hell happened?” Whisper sighed and closed her eyes, “I needed answers, but all I got were riddles. I finally did get the answers I needed though.”
It was my turn to sigh now and I did so, “Becca I love you more than anything in the world you know that, and I understand you needed to do that on your own, but you should have told me, I still don’t know much about your past, that’s yours to share as you please and I would never force you.” Whisper smiled at me, a real smile this time, “And that my dear, is precisely why I love you, and I promise you, I will tell you everything, in time.”
I sighed again, this time in defeat, I knew there was no way she was going to tell me what happened, not yet any way. “I know you love me Becca, I know you do. I just wish you would be more open with me about your past. I know your afraid of what will happen to me, but damn it I told you I’m not afraid, and I would never leave you no matter what. I love you.” A single tear rolled down Whisper’s face as she stood up. With her silent grace and beauty she walked over to me and sat down in my lap, her arms wrapped around my shoulders. I felt her sob as she buried her head into my chest. So there I sat in my kitchen, holding the love of my life as she sat crying in my arms. I didn’t know what to say, hell I don’t think there was anything I could have said at that point. So I sat there, holding her close, gently kissing her.
I couldn’t stand seeing her like and just looking at her I could tell she was exhausted, PCW could wait, Whisper, my goddess, came first. I gently picked her up, still cradling her in my arms as if she weighed no more than an infant, and carried her into the bedroom. I thought she had fallen back asleep when I set her down, but I heard her call out to me as I turned to leave the room, “Tom, please don’t leave me.” I turned around and sat on the side of the bed with her, “You don’t ever have to worry about me leaving you, I would die before I ever hurt you.” She smiled at me through her tears, “I know you would my love, but please just stay with me right now.” I walked to the other side of the bed and crawled in next to her, wrapping her in my arms once again.
I could feel the tension leave her body as I laid there, and soon she and I fell asleep, lulled by the hypnotic breathing of one another. I don’t know how much time passed, but Whisper wasn’t by me anymore when I woke up. I sat up and looked around but still no Whisper. Then I heard a retching sound coming from the bathroom. Alarmed, I sprung up and ran to the bathroom and knocked on the door, “Are you ok hun?” No reply save for another retch followed by the flushing of the toilet. I heard the faucets running and then the *snick* of the door unlocking. Whisper looked like hell when she came out, I’d never seen her look so disheveled, I was really starting to worry about her. “Whisp honey, whats wrong? Are you sick?” I asked with fear in my eyes. I may not have known Whisper as long as some of the other people in her life and I know that everyone got sick, but in the months that we had been dating, I had never so much as heard Becca sneeze, so maybe that’s why this scared me so much. “No no, I’m fine, I’m just nervous I guess. There’s a lot more than just a title riding on this match, my entire future with Angie could be at stake.”
Now I was really suspicious, I’ve never known a match to unnerve anyone save the greenest rookie this much, this should have been no problem for Whisp. So why was she stressing over it so much, “You look terrible my love, you should go lie back down. I’ve got a few things to do down at the arena, my phones been ringing non-stop from then. They need a promo to air at the pay per view. Besides I need to get some training in. I’ll be back in a few hours ok, you want me to get you anything?” She smiled weakly at me, “no I’ll be fine on my own for a few hours.” “All right sure, I’ll have my phone on me, just call me if you need me.” Whisper promised she would, but even with her assurance that she was fine, I still felt really bad about leaving her alone like this. I flipped open my phone as I started down the stairs and dialed in Rene’s number. Took the big oaf seven rings before he answered his phone, sounded like I woke him up to. “Hello?” came the tired mumble from the other end. “Rene wake up,” I hollered into the phone, “Becca’s sick and I’ve got to get to the arena, I need you to come stay with her until I get back, can you do that for me.”
Silence on the other end, I thought for a second maybe he fell back asleep, then he answered back, took him long enough. “No.” “WHAT, what the fuck do you mean no, your supposed to be her best friend, she needs..” He cut me off, “No I won’t do that for you, I will however do it for Miss Becca.” I groaned away from the phone, this guy does not like me, and I don’t blame him. I know he and Whisp were close, never close like we were, but they had something different. He was her best friend, sometimes I think he was her only friend for a while. But whatever the situation between them was, one thing was for certain, he didn’t like me, probably because of my relationship with Whisper, but that’s just me rambling on. “Ok whatever, she needs you, how soon can you be here?” He wasted no time answering this time, “I’m already on my way, I assume you’ll be driving your self to the arena?”
“Ya, I’ll already be gone by the time you get here so don’t worry about it, you still have the key Whisper gave you right?” All I got was a grunt so I assume that meant yes. Besides it was a little late otherwise, he hung up the phone right after the grunt. I descended the last flight of stairs into the underground garage, triggering the remote starter on my car before I even got all the way down them. With the car running and my music pounding, I pulled out of the garage and made my way to the arena for a long over due promo.
