Chapter 22 - Hello

SummerSlam Axxess came and went Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Morning. SummerSlam came Sunday night.

Alison was watching as Joe dressed in his ring attire. They'd made it to the arena first and had some lunch together in catering. Joe was currently lacing up his wrestling boots afterwards he tucked the pant legs of his black cargos in the tops.

Joe looked over at Alison. "What?" Her amber eyes snapped to his as he chuckled. "Why are you so quiet babygirl?" He asked as he switched from his left foot to his right.

Alison smiled softly as she looked down at the ring occupying her left ring finger. "I'm just trying to figure out when we tell everyone..."

Joe chuckled. "We tell them whenever you want to." Joe finished up his right boot before he leaned over and pecked her lips softly.

"You know you look awfully snazzy in your black and blue wrestling attire." Alison teased as she softly ran her fingertips across Joe's bare back. He hadn't pulled his wrestling tights pulled up or pulled his vest on yet.

Joe wiggled his eyebrows as he flexed his right bicep. "I do uh?"

Alison's hand wrapped around his bicep as she leaned over and kissed his bare shoulder. "Good luck with your match tonight baby."

"You know Randy is not going to take it easy on me so don't get too upset if he starts to get rough." Joe pre-warned as he stood up and pulled Alison to her feet in front of him.

"I'll only be out there until after Jon's match with the skunk head and then Jerry Lawler will be taking over. So I'll sit in the back with Aria where we can both cuss out Randy together." Alison laughed softly as she watched him pull his wrestling tights up and then slipped his vest on as she zipped it up for him.

Alison laughed when Joe tossed a ring of black tape to her and held out his right hand for her. She started wrapping his knuckles and hand on his right hand to protect it when he did his superman punch. "I want two promises from you Mr. Anoa'i." She stated as she finished up his right hand before wrapping his left wrist only. No need to protect the hand he didn't do superman punches with.

Joe nodded. "Okay. Tell me what they are and I'll try to agree to them."

Alison smirked as she tossed the roll of tape over her shoulder before she jumped up into Joe's arms; knowing he would catch her. His hands sliding under her butt as her legs wrapped around his waist. "First I want you to promise to be careful with your match tonight; be safe please."

"Okay that one I can definitely promise. You know me..." Joe smirked.

"Uh huh until you see the moment to pull the trigger." Alison rolled her eyes as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders as she felt his lips kiss her neck just below her jaw line. "Second promise is; I want some shower time tonight Mr. Anoa'i."

"Well...you know my policy." Joe pecked her lips softly. "Whatever the wife wants; the wife gets Mrs. Anoa'i."

They definitely had to break it to their friends soon that they had gotten married that morning.


Jon and Aria were running late. "You know if Joe didn't keep track of your ass you would get lost in a paper bag Mox."

Jon glared at Aria as he pulled into the arena parking lot. "I seem to remember someone telling me she wasn't ready 10 minutes before it was time to leave the hotel and then keeping me there for an extra 30 minutes parading around naked because she couldn't find the right outfit for the show."

Aria scoffed. "Well not all of us can do that grungy jeans, t-shirt and leather jacket look to the ring 24/7 and get away with it."

"Grungy?" Jon asked faking an appalled look. "I'll have you know Miss Winters this outfit is washed, dried, and ironed by hotel staff."

"Could've fooled me. Everything looks wrinkled like you folded your body up and stuffed yourself into your own suitcase and then wore it to bed last night before getting up and going to the gym with Joe." Aria leaned over and sniffed. "Smells like it too Grunge Master of the Universe."

"You're lucky I'm wrestling tonight or I'd show you Grunge Master of the Universe right now wench." Jon grumbled as he killed the engine.

"Oh I'm so scared." Aria stated as she pouted her lips out while mocking Jon. "Baby even if you weren't wrestling you wouldn't do anything. We're sitting in a arena parking lot. Not exactly the best place to show me Grunge Master, but you could always give the fans an eye full." Aria pointed to the side of the arena where the fans were being held back by orange caution tape.

Jon growled as he pointed to the passenager side door. "Get out! GET OUT!" He hadn't even seen the fans standing there and truthfully if she'd have pushed him a little further he would've shown her exactly what he would do. The fans really didn't need to get an eye full of him fucking the shit out of his girlfriend against the steering wheel of his rental.

Aria giggled as she got out of the rented SUV and walked to the back as Jon met her at the rear hatch and popped it open. She watched as he pulled her camera cases out and gently sat them on top of his duffle bag. Even with all the shit she gave him he still wouldn't let her carry her own bags. She reached down and grabbed a handful of his jean covered backside before she pushed up on her toes and kissed his lips softly. "Thanks Mox."

Jon growled against her lips and before Aria knew what was happening he leaned down and flipped her into the back of the SUV as he pounced on top of her pinning her down.

"No! No! No Jon! The fans are going to see!" Aria protested.

Jon smirked as he stayed straddled over her prone body. "Quiet! The Grunge Master is smarter than you think. We are parked next to the wall and no one can see us." Jon reached forward and hit the release button on the back seats so they would fold forward. He suddenly hit the back hatch button on the key fob and the hatch closed behind them.

Within a matter of seconds Jon's itchy fingers reached up under Aria's skirt and relieved her of her panties. "Do me a favor darlin' be quiet while the Grunge Master has a snack before his match." Jon let a filthy smirk slide across his lips before he buried his face between Aria's thighs.

"But - but..." Aria tried to protest as his tongue went to work on her lady parts. "We're going to be late." She softly moaned as she could feel herself becoming delirious with ecstasy.

"Uh-huh." Jon pulled back as he slowly slid a finger into her tight channel. "We're already late beautiful. Might as well have a damn good reason for being late even more." He gave her pussy a long slow lick. "Besides I need my protein before I go to the ring. Just give me what I want and I promise it will make both of us happy."

"Okay..."

This was the easiest fight Jon ever won; even if he did play dirty.


Joe looked up from Alison's lap; attempting to relax before the actual PPV started. His head against her thigh as she gently ran her fingers through his long raven tresses. "You do realize you're going to have to get all your stuff moved into my place." Joe stated more than asked.

"Maybe I want you to move in with me." Alison countered with a cheeky smile.

"In your tiny ass apartment? Hell no." Joe argued. "Besides I don't feel like giving your neighbors a show every night were home. They really don't need to know what we sound like when we're fuckin'." Joe chuckled when Alison smacked his vest covered chest.

Joe enjoyed one of her hands in his hair and the other ghosting over his hand. She was always so gently like she didn't want to hurt him; like she ever could. "You think we did the right thing?" Alison asked softly.

"You mean getting married and not telling a soul; our friends, my family and your dad included?" Joe watched as she cracked a hesitant smile. He'd given her an out right before the judge finished the quickie ceremony; she didn't take it and he really couldn't have loved her more for jumping in with both feet. "Oh I can feel an ass kicking coming; I'm just not sure who is going to get to us first."

"Well considering we travel with our friends. I'm guessing they will be first in line." Alison pointed out.

Joe's head snapped up as the locker room door opened and Jon and Aria walked through the door. "Where the hell have you two been?"

Aria's face went cherry red as another filthy smirk entered Jon's face. "Someone who shall remain nameless was trying to challenge me."

"Shut up Jon."

"You know me bro I don't back down from a challenge." Jon chuckled out as he and Joe slapped hands; Joe never moving from his spot on the couch.

"Shut up Jon." Aria's cheeks were getting redder by the minute.

Alison's eyebrows scrunched together. "Aria, you seem to be changing colors. What the hell happened?"

Aria's lips stayed zipped. How could she possibly explain that Jon just ate her kitty like a man going to the electric chair.

Jon chuckled as he leaned down and kissed the side of her neck. "Grunge Master of the Universe is going to go get ready for the PPV." He stated before he patted her on the ass.

Alison giggled as she watched Aria's entire face flame red. "Grunge Master of the Universe?" She questioned before her eyes dropped to the man laying in her lap as his deep chuckles filled the room. she could die happy from that one sound.

Joe looked up. "You know there's a story there right?"

Alison shook her head negative. "I don't think I want to know." She stroked his go-tee and jaw line. "Walk me down to the ramp." She watched as Joe nodded before he stood from the couch and grabbed her hands; helping her to her feet.


Once they were at the top of the ramp behind the curtain; they could hear the fans going crazy waiting for the pre-show to start. Alison looked up at Joe as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her against his body. "Remember your promises."

"How could I forget shower time with you? That will be the highlight of my night beautiful." Joe reassured before he leaned down and kissed her lips softly. "Love you babygirl."

Alison smiled softly. "I love you too big man." She kissed his lips once more as she turned to walk out but couldn't help the giggle as she could hear Joe's twin cousin's Jonathan and Joshua mocking Joe and making kissing noises down the hallway.

"I love you babygirl." Jonathan stated in a deep voice.

"I love you more my big handsome Samoan Adonis!" Joshua mocked in a high girlie voice.

Joe scowled. "SHUT UP!" He growled out.


The match during the pre-show was about as lifeless and boring as one match could get. The WWE had recently offer Rob Van Dam a Legends contract which meant he was only there for a while and then gone for a while. He was in the pre-show match against Antonio Cesaro. Cesaro could be in the match all on his own and be a 1000 more times entertaining than the match she was currently watching.

RVD as he had been fondly known as to the fans was a stoner who probably smoked more weed that Cheech and Chong. He was older and apparently the weed wasn't working with his flexibility anymore because he looked so stiff in the ring Alison was sure rheumatoid arthritis had set in already and no amount of weed was going to make him bendable again.

She pointed that out to JBL and Michael Cole...off microphone obviously and smiled angelically as her two male counter parts turned their mics off to laugh. She had zero enthusiastic feelings when RVD actually defeated Cesaro; clearly that was eight minutes and six seconds she or Cesaro would never get back in their lives.

The next match was slightly more entertaining when Dolph Ziggler actually beat Mike 'the Miz' Mizanin for the Intercontinental Championship. It was nice to see the strap go to someone else, but she didn't care for either wrestler since they were both too far into themselves to see real life in front of their faces.

Same for the next match with Paige beating AJ Lee for the Diva's title. Meh...she enjoyed Paige when she wasn't playing a psycho on TV. She enjoyed the title change but she was wondering when Trinity was going to be the Diva Champ. She deserved it just as much as any other female in the back.

Next on the card was Rusev winning against Jack Swagger in a Flag match. She wasn't sure who was more annoying Rusev for yelling in Bulgarian and Jacks horse sized teeth; he looked like he could gnaw his flag pole right in half and then take time to spit the splinters between his teeth.

Fifth on the car was Jon against Colby in a lumberjack match which just basically put people around the outside of the ring who had no place in the PPV so if one of the guys was thrown out of the ring the lumberjacks would toss his ass back in...after they got a couple of shots in of course. Alison could only hope and pray Jon got more than a few shots in for her.

Alison felt sick to her stomach when Colby got in the ring and blew a kiss to her; she rolled her eyes at him before she smirked and held up her left hand showing off her three stones diamond ring. It was okay to let him think she was engaged to Joe so soon after their demise. What he didn't know wouldn't hurt him.

Her amber eyes watched as Jon and Colby grappled back and forth in the ring. Both each getting their fair share of hits in from each other and the damn lumberjacks when they had each been tossed out of the ring. At one point Jon fought off the lumberjacks and had jerked Colby out of the ring by grabbed his ankles and making him face plant before dragging him under the bottom rope. He grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and slammed him head first into the announcers table.

Colby laid there bent over the table for a few to catch his breath before Alison stood up and gripped a handful of his beard and jerked his head so his ear was by her mouth. "I just want you to remember this moment for the rest of your life and remember you could've just ended things with me like a gentleman, but because you couldn't be a man and you had to embarrass me in front of millions of people. I'm just here to return the favor skunk head and let you know I'm doing fine without you, but you - you won't be in a few minutes. You'll be lucky if you can walk to your locker room after the match."

Colby pushed back to stand up and look at Alison and before he could utter a word she slapped the taste out of his mouth before she adjusted her hair and sat back down. Colby was so stunned he wasn't even prepared as Jon tossed him back in the ring and suddenly the entire arena went pitch black.

Michael Cole looked at Alison and turned his mic off. "You know anything about a surprise ring visit?"

Alison smirked. "Maybe."

Even with the lights off the sounds of grunts, groans, moans, punches and kicks could be heard around the ring. It was so dark the fans couldn't see much. The lights came on and standing tall in the ring was Undertaker and his baby brother Kane. The lumberjacks had all been laid out outside of the ring. Colby was in the middle of the ring facing the deadman and his brother as Jon stood behind Colby leaning against the top rope staring at his fingernails as if they were the most interesting thing in the world.

Colby held up his hands. "I didn't do anything. I did NOT do anything. I don't understand. I didn't do anything. Why are you involved in our match Taker?" He asked as he tried backing away.

Somehow Jon had found a towel under the ring and he smirked as he twisted the towel in his hand and snapped Colby in the ass with it; causing Colby to lurch forward towards the Brothers of Destruction. Jon leaned against the top rope again. "You are so fucked Lopez."

Colby's bewildered eyes looked at his ex-shield brother out the corner of his eye. "Jon, what the fuck is going on...This isn't scripted. What the fuck are they doing here?" Colby demanded.

Jon shook his head as he threw the towel over his shoulder and then stepped up next to Colby and threw his arm over his shoulders. "I don't think you've met Mark Calaway; he happens to be Alison's father - which makes that big bastard her uncle." As he pointed to Kane. "I'd wish you good luck but unfortunately your luck has just run out. And of course this isn't scripted...but...What is Paul or Vince going to do? Fire Mark and Glen? Fat chance since Paul and Vince both okayed this little demonstration...no - no that's not the word." Jon gripped Colby's chin and turned his face towards him as they locked eyes. "Demolition." Jon stated in a low tone.

Colby swallowed hard and suddenly watched as his life flashed before his eyes. "But - but...Her p-parents are d-d-dead - she doesn't k-know anyone in the w-w-wrestling world." He stuttered out.

Jon smirked. "It's amazing what you find out when you don't shit on your friends or girlfriend and you actually get to know who they really are." Jon stated. "Good luck in all your future endeavors." Jon stated before he patted him on the back and left the ring.

Mark grabbed Colby by the throat and jerked him forward. "How dare you put your filthy hands on my daughter; you should've thought about your actions before you actually did them. Embarrassing her was one thing, but laying your hands physically on her - well that was just uncalled for."

Glen stepped up as he grabbed Colby's throat as well they gripped the back of Colby's wrestling pants and hoisted him in the air about 9 feet or so before they sent his body crashing back to the wrestling mat with a double choke slam. Glen smirked as he grabbed Colby by the back of his head and helped him to his feet. "No sleeping on the job Lopez." He heaved Colby up and flipped him upside down before driving him headfirst back to the mat once more with a pile driver.

Mark chuckled. "This was more fun than I originally thought it was going to be. You be sure and thank Paul and Vince for me boy." Mark stated as he picked Colby up yet again from the mat, he was beyond lifeless before flipping him up onto his shoulders and threw him down to the mat with such force that Colby's body actually bounced to a stop from the last ride Mark gave him. Mark and Glen bumped fists as they flipped out of the ring and walked back up the ramp.

The fans were never the wiser that night. They had no idea the last part of the lumberjack match was not only NOT scripted but the injuries that Seth Rollins had sustained were VERY real.

Alison left the commentary table as Jerry Lawler came out and joined them. As soon as she got behind the curtain she was swallowed up in a hug. She looked up and recognized the acid green eyes that match those of her real father. "Thanks Dad."

Mark's heart squeezed in a vice before a throat cleared. Alison looked over at Glen and smiled before she moved to hug him just as tight. "Thanks Uncle Glen." The more she hung out with Mark and her brother and sisters the more she learned how much Glen was really like an uncle they would go to for anything. So it was no surprise when Mark called Glen and the Brothers of Destruction came up with a game plan that they knew Paul and Vince couldn't say no too.

"By the way, when were you going to tell me you and a certain Samoan got engaged?" Mark asked as he lifted her hand.

"Well...technically were not engaged. We got married this morning and I was trying to find the right time to tell you."

"I'm sorry what the actual fuck did I just hear?"

Alison cringed at the sound of Aria's voice. Like Alison, Aria was taking the second half of the PPV off as well. "I love you Aria."

"I know you didn't just say that you and that big Samoan bastard got married this morning without your maid of honor!" Aria stated.

Joe and Jon walked up as Joe smiled and Jon elbowed him. "You took the vows bro?" Jon asked. Joe just nodded as Jon lifted his fist and they bumped them together. As always typical brothers till the end.

Mark shook his head. "Apparently they did and decided they didn't need to tell everyone."

Alison felt Joe take her hand as he pulled her next to him and they faced part of the firing squad; the other have was in Pensacola and they would deal with them once they went home on Wednesday. "We love all of you so much, but we were at the point where we just wanted to be married. No waiting. No big wedding. No hassle. Just married. So we signed the certificate, exchange vows, rings and kisses and BOOM we're done."

Joe looked at all the faces. "We hope you can forgive us, but either way it was time for us to be happy."

The couple received some cheers and a group hug as Jon threw Aria over his shoulder. "C'mon beautiful you can keep the Grunge Master of the Universe company in the shower while I explain how not to take missing the wedding personal, but that I will try to make it up to you with our own wedding someday."

Aria's eyes widened as Alison pointed at her. "Aren't you glad you talked to him now?" Alison stuck her tongue out at Aria as Jon carried her caveman style down the hallway.

Mark made Alison to promise to come back out to Texas to visit again soon and of course Alison agreed.

Joe watched as everyone dispersed before he turned to face Alison. "Hello."

Alison smiled. "Hello."

"I have a great idea. When the PPV is over let's finish starting the rest of our life together." Joe suggested.

"Damn fine idea!" Alison stated as she took Joe's hand and they walked back down the hall toward the locker room.

The rest of their life was going to be interesting; quite interesting.

Who knew nine years ago it would all start with a bump and a couple of Hellos.

The End
