Chapter 11

Casey found it weird that almost overnight she became recognized. People were coming on her Twitter saying what big fans they were.

The following Tuesday it was early in the morning. Casey had just walked into her hotel. She saw Max standing by the front desk waiting to check in.

"Hey." She said. He turned around.

"Hey." "Breakfast?"

"Yeah." "Let me just take my bags to my room."

They checked in were standing by the elevator waiting for it to come. A woman came up to Casey.

"Can I your autograph?" She asked.

"Sure." She gave it to her.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." She walked away.

The elevator dinged. Casey and Max got on, hitting the buttons for their floors.

"I must be in The Twilight Zone." She said

"Why?" 

"I'm not anybody." "People like you and Austin are the big deals." "Not me."

The next night the show was going on. The camera showed Max walking towards the ring. Hw was getting ready to walk passed Casey.

"Hi Casey." He said.

"Hi Max." She hit his music.

Max was in control of his match. Suddenly Austin appeared on the titantron.

"Max, up here." Austin said. "You seem to have your match in the bag." "While you're doing that, I'm gonna go talk to your good "friend" Casey." He walked over to the production era. The camera could see Casey. "Hi Casey."

"Leave me alone." She said scared.

 "Come on, say hi to Drew and Daniel." "Do you know about the crush Max has on you?" "I do." "Don't worry Max, I'll keep her company." It faded to black.

The camera followed Max to the back. By the time he got to the back Austin was gone and Max had been counted out.

"Where is he?"  Max asked looking at Casey.

"I don't know."

"Did he hurt you?"

"No."

They went to commercial.

"Good job." Max said smiling.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"I thought I might have overdid it."

"Not at all."

The next day Max took Casey to a warehouse where wrestlers went to train. She had to learn how to do Max's armbar. They were in the ring.

"I hope I don't fuck up." She said. 

"You won't, just follow my lead."

They practiced for two hours. They sitting on the mat.

"You did good today." He said.

"Thanks." 

He got up and helped her up. He noticed her hair was stuck to her face from sweating. He brushed it back for her. His hand was still on her cheek. "Casey." He said coming closer to her lips.

"Hmm." She said doing the same thing. They'd just shut their eyes. Then about ten people came in.

They separated and got out of the ring.

"Lunch after we get cleaned up?" He asked.

"Sure."

"Damn it to hell." He thought frustrated. "After all these months she was finally gonna let me." "Why did everyone have to show up right now."

"What the hell?" She thought. "I was gonna let Max kiss me." "I can't do that."  "He's too young for me." "What's wrong with me?"
