WWE on the Road

~December 1, 2014~

The next days following were the best days of my life. I got to know Joe better and he got to know me. We kept growing closer and closer. He was becoming one of my best friends and I never got bored being around him. I could tell that whenever we would watch wrestling, he would get really sad. He pretended like he was happy but I could tell he missed being in that ring. It was bittersweet when I finally had to go back to Ohio. I was happy to go back and be at work but I also didn't want to leave. I vowed that I would try and talk to Joe as much as I could when I got home. He was lonely and miserable and just thinking about him being in that house alone made me sad. The next couple of months consisted of talking with him and taking a couple more trips to Florida to visit him. We kept getting even closer that I started to not even miss Ohio. Being around Joe was almost intoxicating. He was so carefree and it was relaxing being with him. I started to develop feelings for him. Of course, as a fan, I thought I was head over heels in love with him but that was nothing compared to how I felt about him now. The feelings I felt now weren't just a general fan crush, they were genuine and real. I was falling in live with Joe Anoa'i. Of course, I could never tell him that. We had to stay friends. I felt like it might get awkward between us if I said anything. I was at work once again. I had just gotten back from another trip from Florida and was working on the paperwork for a funeral that was in a couple of weeks. I got a text message from Joe to come outside. I went and saw Joe standing in the parking lot. I went and met him outside, surprised and confused why he was here.

"What are you doing here?"

"I needed to ask you something and it didn't seem fitting to ask you over the phone."

"Ok, what's up?"

"I wanted to know if you maybe wanted to go on the road with me?"

"What?"

"I've been medically cleared for action and WWE wants me back. Do you want to go with me on the road?"

"But I have work."

"I know, I know."

"...Let me see what I can do."

"Really? I don't want to get you in trouble."

"I can probably work something out."

Joe followed me in to the building and went up to my office while I went to talk with Gregory. I knew he was getting a little frustrated with me taking those trips to Florida but maybe I could work something out.

"Yes, thank you. That's what I need."

I walked in as Gregory hung up the phone.

"Yes, Evanna?"

"So, I have a proposition."

"Ok?"

"Joe is here."

"Joe? As in that wrestler guy?"

"Yes, sir."

"Sir? You must really want something."

"Joe has asked me to go on the road with him."

Gregory looked at me. "Wow. Really?"

"Yes."

"And you want to go?"

"That's kind of what I wanted to ask."

"How long?"

"I have no idea."

He sighed. "I don't know."

"Look, all I do here is paperwork and I can keep up with it even on the road. I can do it and fax it to you. You know I can. I'm your best employee."

"You are."

"Then let me do this. Please."

"You really want to go?"

"Yes."

I heard him take a deep sigh. "You are lucky I like you so much."

"I can go?"

"Don't make me regret my decision."

"Thank you so much! I won't disappoint."

"Just stay on top of you work."

"Yes, sir."

I left his office. Gregory was the best boss.
