Chapter 1

I had been away on business for a couple of months and had kind of lost track of what was happening with Margaret and Taker. When I arrived home, the light on my answering machine was blinking madly. I threw my bags by the door and pushed the listen button on the machine as I kicked my shoes off. There were many messages from friends and family. The last message on the machine started and I heard Margaret say "Betty, dear, where are you? "I'm getting married in two week and I would like you to be one of my bridesmaids. Please call me as soon as you get this message". I sat down, lit a cigarette and played that message again. I suddenly got up from my seat and did the happy dance as I yelled "Yessss!!!! Yessss!!".

I picked up the phone and put a call through to Margaret. When she came on the phone I said "Margaret, it's your wayward sister calling. Just got in and got your message. Congratulations and yes I'll be there by tomorrow, I wouldn't miss this for the world". We chatted for a few minutes and then I told her that I had to make the arrangements to get to Houston and would see her tomorrow.

I stripped as I headed towards the shower. Afterwards I packed once again and called the airlines to make arrangements for an early flight to Houston. After the arrangements were done, I sat down and had a cup of tea and thought about how things had happened for Margaret. I was really happy for her. She had landed the man of her dreams and would soon become Mrs. Taker. I sighed as I crawled into bed and fell instantly asleep.

I awoke feeling rested as I had slept for over 12 hours. I showered quickly, dressed and grabbed my bag as I headed out the door to my car. I made it to the airport terminal as the flight was boarding. I found my seat and got comfortable for the flight. When the plane landed I made my way over to a crowd of ladies who could only be my Moontribe sisters whom I had spoken via e-mail with on many occasions. I recognized most of them from their pictures on the net and I knew Margaret who happened to be in the center of the crowd. When they saw me, we all hugged and since I was the last to arrive we left the airport.

Chapter 2 The next two weeks were a whirlwind of activity with dress fittings, planning and preparations. The girls did not know who Margaret had paired them off with except Sharon who was the maid of honor and was paired with Kane who was the best man. Margaret informed them that they would get to meet their partners at a gathering at her house when the guys arrived so they could get acquainted.

On the day of the gathering, all the sisters were there talking when the guys arrived. I had driven Sharon to the affair and we were going to go out afterwards. I was in the kitchen preparing some sandwiches and pouring drinks when the guys entered. I had just picked up the platter of sandwiches to bring it into the dining area when Margaret walked in with Edge. As I turned around I came face to chest with Edge. I looked up and my mouth gaped open as I looked into the most beautiful blue eyes I could imagine. "Betty, this is Edge. Edge this is Betty. She will be your partner for the wedding. I almost dropped the platter on the floor when Margaret said that. I had to turn quickly and set the platter down as my knees became weak. "It's my pleasure to meet you" Edge said in a very low sexy voice. I tried to compose herself as I turned around to shake his hand. He was smiling at me as we shook hands. Margaret took a step back as she admired her handiwork. I opened my mouth to speak, but was only able to squeak out a "Hi" as all of a sudden my mouth had turned dry and I thought I was going to faint. "Margaret, you failed to tell me that she was beautiful too" Edge said as he looked at Margaret and then turned back to stare at me. Margaret excused herself and went to introduce the other couples to each other with a satisfied grin on her face. ˇOne more successful pairing' she thought to herself as she walked out.

"So you're the little world traveling spitfire I've heard so much about" Edge said still holding my hand. "I see Margaret has been filling your head with stories" I replied smiling. "I'm sorry, where are my manners" I said. "Would you care for something to drink or maybe something to eat?" I asked as I finally was able to withdraw my hand from his. "I'll take a beer" he replied. I went over to the frig and got his beer. I handed it to him and our fingers happened to brush each other in the exchange. I could feel electricity pass from his hand to mine and I looked into his eyes again. He just stood there smiling at me and giving me a look which felt as if he was trying to reach into my soul. I grabbed my soda and said. "Let's go sit outside. All of a sudden it is very warm in here". He laughed but followed me out to the patio.

Chapter 3

We sat on the patio furniture and talked for a while. Just the nearness of him had me fidgeting which is one thing I had not done in a long time. My last romantic encounter several years ago had left a bad taste in my mouth and I had sworn men off. That is until now. Edge was stirring emotions in me that I had not had in a long time and I did not know how to handle the situation.

After a while Margaret came out to where we were and said. "The guys have to be fitted for their tuxes and most have left already. Do you think you can drive Edge to the shop so that he can be fitted too?" She asked. "But I came with Sharon and I don't want to leave her stranded" I said. "Don't worry about Sharon, I'll get her a ride back" Margaret said with the small grin upon her face again. "Okay. Let's go then" I said to Edge as I stood up. He grabbed my hand as we walked out to my rental car.

We took off and I headed in the direction that Margaret had told me the tailors shop was. We found it with no problems and most of the guys were there already. When I looked into the waiting room, I noticed that all of the other sisters were there. ˇMargaret is up to her old tricks again' I thought to myself as I went to talk to the girls as the guys were being fitted.

When the guys were done most of them decided they wanted to see some of the sights of the city. I myself was hungry so I passed on the sightseeing for nourishment, as I had not eaten anything since the previous day. "Do you need a ride somewhere?" I asked Edge as we headed towards the car. "Where ever you are going is fine with me" he said. "I could also use something to eat" he added looking down and into my eyes. I could feel my insides melting from his look and I had to turn around quickly before he could read my eyes. He smiled to himself as he noticed the effect he was having on me.

We went to a roadside restaurant and had something to eat. We had a good time talking and joking around. He made me relax when he started talking about his escapades on the road. He had me in tears when he told me about the events during one of the shows involving Taker, Kane and Mankind. By the time we finished, it was nighttime. "Where are you staying?" I asked him as we exited the restaurant and got in the car. "Same place you girls are" he said as I started the car and headed towards the hotel.

When we arrived Edge was very insistent about walking me to my room, saying it was the gentlemanly thing to do. When we arrived at my door, I turned to him and said "I had a great time". "So did I" he replied as he looked once again into my eyes. I could feel myself being drawn into the blue pools. I reached up to kiss him on the cheek when he suddenly turned his head and caught my lips with his very gently. My knees started shaking and if he had not put his arms around me I would have been at his feet. He pulled his lips away from mine and looked at me again as once again he brought his lips to mine and kissed me. He held me tighter as he intensified the kiss slightly parting my lips with his tongue and sensually caressed my tongue with his. He broke the kiss and said "I'll see you tomorrow" as I entered the room. When I closed the door I leaned against it and very slowly my knees gave out until I was sitting on the floor with my back against the door.

ˇThis can't be happening, it's too quick' I thought as I put my head in my hands and then ran my fingers through my hair.
