A few hours passed and it was their bed time so I got them to bed, for once it was fairly easy. The kids had ended up going outside and running around on my 2 acres with Nick for awhile. So the kids were both tuckered out and fell asleep quickly.
“Well, they are passed out cold. They had so much fun with you Nick. Thank you.” I said as I sat back down on the couch by him and laid my head on his shoulder. “Oh! I almost forgot, you have a phone call you have to make hon.” He said handing me his phone after he dialed the number. “Who is it?” I asked kind of concerned. “Just talk.” Is all that he told me.
“Hello?” Asked a gruff voice on the other end of the line. “Yeah, Nick told me to call.” I said timidly. “Amanda! So god to hear your voice again.” “Paul?!? How are you?” I ask totally surprised that I am on the phone with Paul. “I’m good. I thought that Nick had forgot to have you call me. I wanted to say happy birthday.” Paul said casually. “Thank you very much.” “I also wanted to talk to you about that position that we had talked with you about. It’s open again Amanda. I am holding it open for you if you want it.” He told me with a smile as far as I could tell. I looked at Nick and I knew that he had already known about this because he had the biggest smile on his face of the day. “Oh my God! Are you serious Paul? I...Yes! I want it. I will take it!” I damn near screamed and almost in tears. “Alright. I can’t wait to see you again and introduce you around. Oh, and by the way Amanda, happy birthday sweetie. Welcome to the WWE. See you in 2 weeks, just come back with Nick. Bye.” Paul said as we ended the call.
I literally knocked Nick over with a hug. “This is the best birthday ever!” I came close to screaming but then remembered that the kids were asleep. “So I take it that your day got better?” He asked as I move to sit up. “Yeah, much better. He said just to come back with you in 2 weeks. So what are you going to do with your time off?” I asked him. “I have yet to figure that one out yet. Help you find a nanny I guess.” He said remembering what I had said at our first lunch date. “That will work.” “Well my dear, I better get a move on.” Nick said as he looked at the clock. I started laughing, “Nicky, you are not going to find a decent hotel within 20 miles of here. I’m an hour south of Houston babe. Just stay here for now. I really don’t want you to leave anyway.” He simply reach over to pull me up from the couch and kissed my cheek. “Come on, lets get some sleep.” I said leading him to my room. After we got changed for bed we laid down and I cuddled up next to him with my head where his arm meets the shoulder and my arm across his tight stomach. He wrapped his arm that I was laying on around me and patted my butt “Goodnight sweetheart, happy birthday.”
I laid there for a while just thinking. I was now a part of the WWE! My best friend had come to surprise me for my birthday and we get to hang out for 2 weeks, then we are on the road. I was so excited. This could be my dream.
