Hello everyone, I bring a little more Stone Cold action. As long as the ideas come along, out come the stories. Please read and review and let me know what you think. This story I'm not using Steve Austin as the guy he is now or was. His name is Steve Austin, but as an average guy who was never famous. Steve is a contractor in Port Lavaca Texas, his life is perfectly normal being born and raised in Victoria Texas and starting his business in Port Lavaca a small suburb of Victoria. Then a young beauty and her controlling fiancé move into the town. Will something brew up here? Will there be some fights? Who knows, I'm going along one chapter at a time, haha. Hope you enjoy, thank you for reading everyone.
Chapter 1
The Texas sun was turning down and the night was coming about. The young woman looked outside the window with sorrow in her eyes. Her and her fiancé had been driving for over ten hours from western New Mexico. She was hoping they were finally going to stop. She played with the pendant on her bracelet that was a gift from her mother before she died of cancer. It was months later when she met Brad. He was a lawyer rising up in the business making a lot of money and put his charms on the young twenty-nine year old who was going through a hard time. He seemed to be there for her and gave her a nice roof over her head and bought her nice things. She was always a modest girl who was more about love and honor. It was weird to her that he was treating her like this. It had now been six years later. Thely were engaged last year and had been talking about getting married soon…well he had. Stacy's father wasn't in her life very much and she always felt abandoned. Her older brother went into the military and was unfortunately killed in Iraq when she was only twenty-two. She wasn't sure how she felt about Brad. But on the flipside, she didn't know any better. She had a couple short term boyfriends before she met Brad and they were nothing like him. All she really dreamt about was becoming a mother to two or three children and maybe having a nice farm like what she grew up on. She always wanted a beautiful horse that she could call her own and ride off into the sunset whenever she was going through a rough time which seemed like often. Her and Brad definitely had their struggles but she was a loyal woman and she did love him. But did she really know any better? She was relieved to see Brad pull into a very long drive-way. She looked over at the tall dark haired gentleman.
"Are we finally stopping?"
"Yes we are, I bought this home last month and had someone come out here and set it up. Welcome to our new home."
Stacy looked at the nice log cabin home. It looked to be two stories tall and had a nice big porch that nearly wrapped around the entire house. She could see that there were a lot of Acers in the backyard. It was a beautiful property. She didn't understand why they needed to move across one state and damn near the other. She had a nice little job working at the big library in town and had wonderful friends. Of course she hadn't been able to see them much lately seeing as how Brad could be a little possessive sometimes. It seemed like he wanted her all to himself all the time. At first it was charming, but then it turned to be a little ridiculous.
She climbed out of the truck and they began unloading the full truck bed full of stuff. He had the keys already made and opened the door. He turned on the light and it was extraordinary inside. It had a nice rustic look to it. But she figured most places around here did. She looked on the map and saw that they were in a small little town just north of Victoria Texas. Brad always talked about being away from the city and having more privacy. They decided just to unload the few suitcases that they had and worry about unpacking the rest tomorrow.
The next morning Stacy woke up and could smell all the aromas of breakfast. She threw on her silk robe and walked down the stairs. The table was set for two and he was nearly finished cooking up breakfast.
"Good morning beautiful, come eat up. I figured we could go into town and hit the grocery store and load up on stuff and maybe check the rest of the town out."
"Okay." She sat down and started in on her breakfast.
They both took a shower and got dressed to leave for town. They were only a few minutes out from town. They hopped in his nice truck and drove on. They needed to get gas so he planned on stopping at the gas station. They pulled in and he walked inside to pre-pay. Stacy got out of the truck to get some fresh air and take in the scenery of her new home. She was leaning against the truck when she looked over to her left. He was tall and very muscular. He was wearing blue jeans and a black t-shirt. He had a camo ball cap on. He was finishing fueling up and looked her way.
"Hello there darlin', are you from around here?"
She looked a little nervous seeing as how Brad didn't like her talking to other men. "Um…actually I just moved here last night. My fiancé and I are heading into town to get some supplies."
"You just moved here? Where abouts are you from?"
"New Mexico."
"So not too much of a change in weather then."
"Yeah, I would hate to move somewhere cold. I love the hot weather. So do you live here as well, or are you just passing through?"
"Nah, I grew up just south of here. Born and raised. I own the big construction company in town, I'm the contractor. Hey if you're looking for a job, they need a new waitress at the bar in town there. Otherwise it might be hard finding a job around here."
"Thank you, I'll look into that. You are very kind."
"My name is Steve, what's your name?"
"My name is Stacy, oh that's my fiancé Brad coming over here."
She looked pretty nervous because she recognized the look on his face and he wasn't too happy. She didn't understand why he had to freak out every time she talked to another man. This Steve guy was just being friendly and wasn't causing any harm. But judging by his size, it may not have been a good idea for Brad to start anything. But Brad could get a hot head sometimes. He immediately walked up and started the pump then put his arm around Stacy.
"What's going on out here?"
"Hey there, my name is Steve. I was just talking with your fiancée Stacy. She told me how you two just moved here last night."
"Yeah, listen I don't really appreciate you talking to my fiancé okay?" He changed his direction to Stacy.
"What did I tell you about talking to other guys?" he grabbed her arm a little too forcefully and started directing her to go back in the truck.
"Hey, do you want to loosen your grip on the lady there?"
"Excuse me?" Brad stopped and looked back at Steve still not letting go of Stacy who was wincing in pain.
"I said I think you need to loosen your grip on the lady's arm. You're clearly hurting her. We were just making friendly conversation I don't think you need to act like a jackass."
"Are you serious buddy?" Brad let go of Stacy and got closer to Steve.
"I thought I told you my name was Steve, not buddy. I know you heard me jackass. You don't put your hands on a lady like that."
"Look…Steve, this is my business and she is my woman okay? I don't need you telling me what to do and you don't need to be calling me names."
"You're a special kind of ignorant aren't you?"
Brad started to get very frustrated. "I think you need to go on your way before this gets ridiculous."
"I have no problem here; you're the one with the temper." Steve still remained calm with a calm look on his face which only made Brad angry even more.
"Stay away from my fiancé, and stay away from me if you don't want any trouble." Brad said with a stern voice.
Steve just shook his head and Brad put the fuel pump back and went back to his truck. He sternly directed Stacy to get in the passenger seat. She complied and hopped in the truck. Steve went back to his truck and they both drove off luckily in opposite directions. Stacy was sitting with her arms crossed. She looked very upset.
"Why do you always have to do that? He didn't do anything to you, and you were such an asshole to him. Is that seriously how you want to start things in this new town?"
"Listen to me Stacy; you will not talk to any other guys unless I am around. You are my woman and you have no business flirting with other men."
"Oh stop it Brad, I was not flirting with him. You need to cool it sometimes."
"Don't ever tell me to cool it do you got that?" Brad got in her face and had a very scary tone to his voice.
She leaned down in her seat and shook her head in compliance.
They had arrived in town and there was one of every store there. But it still wasn't a very big place. She had noticed the bar that Steve talked about. She was going to go in there and asked if they still needed a server. They pulled into the grocery store. Stacy looked around and took in the town.
"Hey Brad, I'm going to walk down the block here and see if any of these places are hiring okay?"
"Babe, you don't need to have a job with how much money I make? Plus I'll be able to work from home a lot more."
"Yeah and you'll be flying out all the time on your trips too just as much and I'll need something to keep me busy. You know I can't just sit around. Just go grab what we need I shouldn't be too long okay?"
"Okay, I'll only be like a half an hour okay?"
"Perfect." She agreed.
Stacy started walking to the bar knowing that was the only place that was hiring. She was honestly surprised that he was letting her look for a job because he didn't even want her working at the library back in New Mexico. Truth be told yeah Brad was going to be travelling a lot; she did like something to keep her busy as she came from a hard working family who grew up on a farm. But sometimes Brad could get under her skin and she could use a break and make a little money as a bonus. She could save up for a car of her own. She didn't want Brad to buy her one seeing as he would probably keep it under his name and she wouldn't have the full freedom of the car. She opened the doors to the nearly empty bar, but it was only ten in the morning. There were a few people sitting at the bar and she was surprised to see one guy was clearly already drunk. The bartender was putting away some glasses when he saw her come in.
"Hey there honey, what can I get for you?"
"Um, actually I was told ya'll were hiring someone to serve?"
"Yeah, let me get Lucy. She's the boss." He called for Lucy and the older tough looking woman came out from the back of the bar.
"What can I do for you honey? You looking for work?"
"Yes Ma'am, I just moved here and this gentleman named Steve told me ya'll were hiring."
"Steve Austin?"
"I don't know his last name."
"Big tall bald guy, good looking?"
Stacy couldn't help think that Steve was a good looking guy. "Yeah, that would be him."
"Steve is a good guy, brings me a lot of business with his construction crew. Have you ever served before?"
"I worked at the café when I was fifteen. Look I'm a really hard worker and I can work any hours. I'm also a quick learner."
"Well this place only gets so busy. Why don't you come in tomorrow at five and we'll try you out okay? You manage to make me money and not screw up, you got the job. Sound fair?"
"Yes, thank you so much. Oh what should I wear?"
"Whatever just don't show your whole ass and tits? You got a nice body; just remember when a man hits on you and you showing a lot of skin don't come crying to me. Just improvise, you'll be fine."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."
Stacy was really excited; she was going to get a chance. She walked out of the bar and saw that it had only been about ten minutes. Maybe she should go help Brad and he would like that and be in a good enough mood to let her work at a bar. She walked over to the grocery store and since there were only ten isles it was pretty easy to find him.
Okay folks; think we'll call it good for now on that chapter. Please read and review, let me know what you think so far. Do not fret; there will be more Steve in the next chapter. I just got to get through the whole character introducing stuff. Any suggestion on anything let me know and I might try and work that in.
