"It's not like him to be late for a show." Joanie

said with a worried look on her face.

"I talked to him a few minutes ago and he was on his way." Glen said.

"Dont worry too much I'm sure he'll be here soon."

Joanie fiddled her thumbs as she always did when she was nervous. She

and Mark had been friends for a long long time. Ever since she first

entered the WWF 5 years ago. They had been through everything together. So she couldn't help but worry about him when they had bad weather outside like this. The rain had been monsterous today as the WWF tour bus pulled into L.A.Luckily she had gotten to the arena early and missed the heavy stuff.

Mark hadn't been so lucky. His plane out of Dallas was delayed so he

had to take a later flight and make it there on his own. Her friend Debra Austin sat next to her in the women's dressing room while she waited trying to calm her down some. Instinctively she knew something was wrong though. She and Mark were soulmates just not of the romantic type. Eventhough in the last year she had wished something might develope between them, it never had. She thought back to the first day she joined the WWF and he had entered her life.

Joanie Laurer sat in Vince McMahan's office shaking like a leaf. The 2

years she had worked on the indy circuit had finally paid off. This was the "big time", the opportunity she had been waiting for. It was hard for her just to walk through the arena that day. A 6ft./200lb. muscular woman sort of stands out. She got the customary stares, the repressed giggles and the looks of awe that she had expected. But one person looked at her with admiration and kindness and that was Mark Calloway, a.k.a. The Undertaker. She was used to men being intimidated by her, that's why she rarely got asked out on dates. But, he didn't seem to be in any way.

"Now Ms. Laurer I will ease you into the business." "It wont be easy

because you want to fight the men." "Many of them will resent you so you must earn their respect before they will help you in any way." Vince said.

"And they must earn mine." she interjected as she held her head high.

"Yes" he said. "Now you will be working with Debra McMicheal and Stone

Cold Steve Austin at first just to introduce you and help you get your feet wet."

"Then after that you must make your own place here through hard work

"Yes sir." Joanie said.

As Vince led her to the door and shook her hand.

"Will someone who is not busy come show Ms. Laurer around and introduce

her to everybody?" Vince asked.

When he saw no volunteers he almost gave up then to his surprise Mark Calloway volunteered his services. Mark walked up to Joanie and introduced himself. He could hear Steve Blackmon, Jeff Hardy, Sean

Waltman and others snickering behind him but one hard look at them

quickly shut them up. Mark was known as one of the top guys in the WWF and nobody crossed him.

"Well little lady let's get going." Mark said with that deep southern

drawl as he led her around the arena.

"Joanie... Joanie...." as Debra started shaking her to bring her to the

present. "It's your cell phone ringing." Debra said.

"Oh... okay thanks." Joanie replied as she picked it up to answer.

"Hello." Joanie said.

"Is this Miss Joanie Laurer?" a woman's voice asked on the other end of

"Yes, who is this?" Joanie asked.

"Maam this is Mrs. Nita Freeman a nurse at the Good Samaritan

Hospital." as Joanie's body was overtaken with fear.

"Maam.... are you still there?" the nurse asked.

"Yessss...yes I'm still here."

"Well maam there was a gentleman brought into our hospital about 20

minutes ago named Mark Calloway." "He has been in a serious car accident." she continued as Joanie grabbed Debras arm for support.

"Is...is he alive?" Joanie asked a little shakey like.

"Yes maam he is but he is critical." "He's in surgery right now as we

"We found your name and number in his wallet, that's why we called

Joanie knew Mark had no close family members. Except for the guys and

girls of the WWF there was no other family for him.

"Thank you I'll be right there." as she quickly told Debra and Glen

what had happened and they raced to find one of Vince's available cars.

When they got to the hospital the ER nurse explained Mark's injuries.

Needless to say it wasn't good. But their main concern was his head

injury. He had some internal bleeding that they were trying to stop. After some 5 agonizing hours the doctor came out with some good news. Mark had made it through surgery but it was still going to be touch and go for a while. The next several days would tell the tell of whether he would make it through or not.

Joanie asked Vince for some time off to be with Mark and her good

friend Debra stayed by her side. Debra's husband Steve and Glen Jacobs would come to visit on the weekend's. Mark lay in a coma for 3 weeks until finally one day he opened his eyes and spoke a few words. Joanie knew this was a sign that everything would be alright now but everything wasn't alright.....

The moment Mark awoke from the coma was one of the happiest and yet

sadest moments Joanie could ever remember. For a few brief seconds she had hope but then it was all taken away when Mark started yelling that he couldn't see. This was so startling to him that he had to be given a sedative just to calm him down. Joanie cried as she held a sleeping Mark's head in her arms as if to cradle him.

After a while when he awoke his hand reached out to hers.

"Is that you?" as he looked around the room with unfocused eyes.

The sight of him in this state broke her heart but she was grateful to

God that he had pulled through the surgery and was stil alive.

"Yes, it's me Mark." as she pulled his strong hand up to her wet cheek.

"Joanie what's wrong with me?" "I cant see."

"I know honey." she said in a tender voice. "Dr. Farrel will be here in

a few minutes to let us know why." "They ran some tests and we'll soon know what is wrong."

"And so you see Mr. Calloway the pressure is on this side of your

"The side that helps with your vision." As he showed them the Xray

"There is a bruise if you will on that side." "Now this swelling

usually goes down by itself without having any surgery at all and your sight will be restored, but, in some rare cases it does not."

"So you are saying I have a 50/50 chance of getting my sight back

"Well yes." "We will monitor you over time to trace your progress."

"Some patients sight comes back in a couple of weeks but I have known others to come back years later." "We just dont know."

"And in some it never comes back." Mark said as he turned his face away

"I wont lie to you Mr. Calloway, it may never come back." Dr. Farrel

"Thank you doctor." Mark said. as he left the room.

"Mark I...." Joanie started to talk.

"No not right now Joanie." "Please leave." "I want to be alone."

"Alright but I'm coming back in a few minutes." Joanie stated firmly.

She opened the door and eased it shut. As she turned to leave she

decided to take one last peak inside. What she saw tore her heart into. For the first time ever she saw the strong, brave, man she loved break down and cry.

Everyday Joanie would go to the hospital to see Mark. He always would

push her away but her love for him kept bringing her back over and over

again. After a month the doctor said he was well enough to be released from the hospital. Joanie was hurt when he called Glen and Steve not her to help him get settled into his home.

When she called and asked when she could come by and visit a woman

answered the phone. She hurriedly told her he couldn't talk right now and hung up the phone. Joanie was devastated. After all she had done to try and help him he turned on her and treated her this way. Glen and Steve both knew there was more to the story but they had promised Mark they would not reveal a word to Joanie about who the woman was.

Joanie threw herself into her work. At night she started hanging around

with guys like Bradshaw and Farooq. Guys who like to go out and party. Debra didn't like the changes in her long time best friend. She knew it was all in response to the shabby way Mark had treated her.

"When will those two get it through their thick skulls that they are in love with each other and need each other right now", she thought. "Well something must be done before they destroy themselves."

So, she and Steve hatched a plan. They would invite them both down to

their ranch. Put them in rooms right next to each other and leave them alone as much as possible. Being in that close a proximity of each other would make them realize how much they loved each other. Joanie was resistant to the idea at first but then she decided she desperately needed the peace and quiet the ranch would afford her. The same could be said for Mark. He felt cooped up at his house and he rarely went out so this would be a change for him.

Joanie was the first to arrive at the ranch. The serene and peaceful

place was just what she needed to help her forget about Mark.

"I'd forgotten how beautiful it was here." Joanie said to Debra.

"Yes it is peaceful." "When Steve and I found this place we knew we had

to make it our home." Debra said.

"Where is Steve by the way?" Joanie asked.

"He'll be along shortly he had to pick up someone at the airport."

Debra said with a secret smile on her face.

"Well is it someone I know?" Joanie asked.

"Is it Lita?" "Gosh it would

be great to see her again it's been ages." as Joanie looked excited.

"No it's not Lita." Debra said.

"Just calm down, you'll find out soon enough who it is." "Let's go eat some lunch."

The women were halfway through lunch when the doorbell rang. Joanie

could hear a grumpy voice ringing through the walls of the house. A voice that was all to familiar to her.

Well Joanie was surprised to say the least. She gave her best friend

whom she trusted the evil eye as Steve and Mark walked through the door.

"Lord he was so good looking" she thought as she saw him for the first time in months.

Mark Calloway the man she dreamed about at night and the man she

thought about all day was now standing before her.

Mark could sense another person in the room besides himself, Steve, and

Debra. Suddenly he smelled the scent of a perfume he remembered all too

"Joanie" he said almost questionably. "Is ...is that you?"

"Yes." she said softly as a stray tear began to form in one of her

She stood up and walked towards him. Her hand reached up to touch his face gently. But when she touched him Mark acted as if her touch burned him and he jumped back. Joanie knew she couldn't stay there. It would be torture to be around a man you wanted desperately and who just didn't want you.

"Debra please give me a ride back to the airport." she said as she

tried to get her emotions under control.

"No, no if anyone leaves it should be me." Mark said.

"Damnit!!!" Steve said loudly. "Now nobody's going nowhere!" "I'm sick

of this merry-go-round with the two of you!" he continued.

"I am too." Debra interjected. "Why the two of you are acting this way

is beyond me." "Dont you know Joanie's in love with you dimwit!" as

Joanie gasped and her face turned red with embarrassment.

"What did you say?" Mark asked not really sure if he heard her

"Oh you heard me." she said as a infuriated Joanie ran into her bedroom

and began re-packing her clothes.

"Oh and dont you act like Mr. Innocent." Steve said. "Glen and I stood

right in your kitchen no more than a month ago when in one of your tipsy states you let it slip out you were in love with her too."

Now it was Mark's turn to feel embarrassed. This time he was the one

whose face was turning red.

"For God's sake man keep your mouth shut!!" now visibly angry. As he

picked up his walking stick and felt his way around the house to his room. The one he always stayed in when he came to visit Steve and Debra.

"Well it's up to them now." Steve said to Debra as they went up the

stairs to give the two some privacy.

It had been an hour and he could still hear her crying in the room next

to his. He knew he should go in and confess his feelings to her. But he

was afraid. He Mark Callowy the 7ft. tall muscular wrestler who scared

everyone and everything was afraid of a women rejecting him. But, who could blame him. He knew the shabby way he had treated her since the accident. Could he take this chance, should he take this chance?

A few minutes passed and the crying got louder and louder. Mark

couldn't stand to see Joanie hurt, especially by him. The fact that she was in love with him made his decision easier though. He tried to manuver his way into her room but as he was walking he bumped his toe on a piece of furniture in the room. Joanie heard this and instinctively got up and ran to his aid.Hoping he didn't hurt himself too badly.

"Mark are you okay?" she said as she helped him to the bed.

"Yes, now that you are here." Mark said as he touched her arm gently.

The feel of his large hand in hers sent shivers up and down her spine. She had to pinch herself a couple of times just to be sure she wasn't dreaming.

"Joanie may I touch your face?" he said softly.

"Yes." she said breathlessly as his warm fingers moved gently from her

eyes to her nose, cheekbones and mouth.

"You're just as beautiful as I remembered." he said. Then he paused for

a second took a deep breath and whispered, "I'm in love with you and I

dont know why it took me so long to admit it."

"Mark I'm in love with you too." Joanie admitted.

As she wrapped her loving arms around him.

"Mark why did you turn me away?" she asked.

"SShhh... let's not talk about that now." "I'll explain everything to

you later." "Right now I only want to make love to you like I have wanted to in my dreams for so long."

"Yes...yes make love to me Mark" Joanie said as they eased back on the

bed and started to kiss.

They kissed softly and slowly. Her tender full lips tasted so sweet to

him.Joanie slipped her tongue inside his mouth as she pressed her breasts against his massive hard chest. Mark eased his hand up her shirt and skimed them over her hard aching nipples. She wore no bra underneath and as he cupped them in his hands she became hot and wet between her legs. Not wanting Mark to have all the fun she undid the buttons on his shirt and glided it off his arms throwing it on the floor. She worked her tongue out of his mouth and slid it down his neck licking and tasting him until she reached his male nipples. She then gently bit at them then soothed them with her wet tongue. Continuing her way down his body she undid his pants and underwear dropping them to the floor also.

She stared at his hard shaft throbbing as if it had a life of it's own.

Joanie rubbed her hand back and forth on his erection as it grew longer

and bigger right before her eyes. Bending down she took the head of his

cock inside her mouth and sucked on it until a few droplets of his juices started to seep through. By now Mark could stand no more and pulled Joanie beneath him.

"Two can play your game sweetheart" he said as he began to do the

same things to her body that she had done to his.

He quickly dispensed with her shirt and skirt and went to town in those large breasts of hers. He sucked,licked and bit at her nipples driving her crazy.

His hands worked themselves up her stockinged legs until he reached her

bikini thong. At first he touched every area but there. Teasing her

unmercilessly until finally she begged for it. He tore the thong off

her body and spread her legs. He rubbed her clit with his thumb as his middle finger worked inside her wet channel moving hard and fast. Just as she was about to go over the edge he licked her mons repeatedly sending her spiraling out of control. By now they were both breathing hard from their exertions.

Mark eased his cock inside her body and flowed with a rthyhm neither

one could stop. At first easy and slow then hard and fast. Mark sucked on a nipple while Joanie grabbed at the sheets for leverage. Cupping her buttocks in his hands he pounded inside her body. Going deeper and harder than anyone had ever done to her before. Until finally they both let go and eased their bodies of a long awaited relief.

Mark explained all his hopes and fears to Joanie the next day. Why he

had pushed her away in the first place and the lonliness he felt from

losing his sight. It hurt to know he may never see her beautiful face again but the thought of living his life without her was now no longer an option.

A week later after a routine checkup with Dr. Farrel he learned that

the growth on his brain was slowly strinking steadily. After a while Mark resumed his career in the WWF. This time as a gifted writer and booker. By the time Joanie and Mark exchanged their I Do's at their wedding 1 yr. later, he had regained almost 80% of his sight back. And when Joanie presented him with their first child he could see fully. Mark was grateful to God for his second chance in life and his second chance at love with Joanie.
