I don't wanna get up! (TBC Lani)

The Saturday before the biggest match in my IWF career. I lay in the hotel bed, with the pillows over my head and the blankets over that. It just one of those days. Good luck to anyone who tries to get me out of bed today. I groan and just toss and turn. No part of my body is out from the covers. So not getting out of bed today.

Aw look at my warrior hiding under the covers. Strange but adorable all the same. Good thing I placed the room service order in advance. All his favorites. He should be smelling the aromas now as I tip the attendant. I slowly push the tray/cart towards the bed. If this doesn't wake him up, nothing will.

I start to smell food, and slowly peek one eye out from the cover, and look at my beautiful fiancee.

"What's that?"

Then I pull the covers back over my head.

A meal fit for a warrior of your caliber. All of your favorites. Tell me what you smell.

I wait as I slowly remove the lids from the food. A smirk growing on my face.

Hmm. I take a whiff.

"Steak, and shrimp of all varieties. Clams"

I throw the covers off me, and sit up and show her that famous grin, then realize I'm just in my boxers.

"What did you do? What's the occasion? What do you have planned?"

I chuckle.

Mhm.

I smile as I see phase 1 of my surprise has worked.

Call it a pre-victory celebration. This was what I've been planning the past few days. A way to show you my love and appreciation.

I smile as I rub the sleep from my eyes, and begin eating.

"I love you too, my Cherokee rose. Though I'm not sure if we should count our chickens before they hatch. I don't know if I can beat Blyss."

I finish eating, and push the plates away, then look at her with one of those "What are you up to?" looks. Then shoot my famous grin.

"And what else have you been up to while I've been training? I'm sorry that we haven't had much time together lately, but we will be together for the rest of our lives."

I pull her onto my lap and passionately kiss her.

I pull out a box from under the cart and place it in his hands.


Open it. I've been working on this for a while. This is the perfect time to show you what else I've been up to.

I wait smiling to see his reaction to my present.

I open the box and grin big as I pull out my father's head dress, newly re-feathered. I stand and take her in my arms and gently kiss her.

"Thank you darlin. I'll wear it tonight."

I smile, seeing the joy on his face. But I wasn't done.

Good but there is more, my love. You have to represent the warrior both inside and out. See what else I have for you.

I smile as I take out the Cherokee choker, with an arrow head hanging from it, leather arm, and shin guards hand painted, and a breast plate made of buffalo bone, and a walking staff that can also be used as a club. A tear rolls down my eye.

"Thank you my Cherokee Rose. With this I can not lose."

You're welcome, my Cherokee Warrior. I've been making this for you the past few days. The time for our people to rise is now. You are leading the charge. You are ready to restore pride and honor to the Cherokee Nation.


I smile as I look at my love beaming with pride. He is ready and I will be by his side.

I shoot that famous grin at her, and run my right hand through my hair.

"So what's next?"

You can show me your appreciation.


I wink at him as I straddle his lap. That familiar twinkle in my emerald green eyes.

I shoot that famous grin at her again.

"Trying to wear me out before my match?"

I chuckle.

"Don't mind if I do."

I kiss her passionately as I turn off the light.
