A/N: This is a repost of one of my oldest stories. Frankly, it was a mess when I originally wrote it in the sense that the four chapters it consisted of were WAAAAY too long, and I've looked through the story and broken it down into many more chapters. Hope it will be easier for you readers to actually sit down and take time to read. Enjoy! :)
Two and a half years earlier...
"I'm so excited!" Stephanie McMahon practically squealed with delight to her best friend, Amanda. She checked her hair and makeup in the mirror over her vanity table for what must have been the fiftieth time in an hour.
"I know, I know, Steph...it's not like you haven't told me that about a zillion times already," Amanda said, rolling her eyes teasingly. The truth was, she was a bit envious of her friend.
"You're just jealous," Stephanie said, tweaking Amanda's nose as she turned around on her chair. "I have a date with the most gorgeous guy in the universe!"
A pleasant shiver ran up and down her spine when she thought about him - he was so handsome and sweet. She usually didn't like "sweet" guys, favoring the bad boy type, but he had this mystique about him - and of course, he was drop-dead gorgeous. She'd had her eye on him for several months, and had finally worked up the nerve to ask him out. She'd been thrilled when he'd said yes, and now, here she was, getting ready for their date and waiting for him to pick her up...
"He's here!" Stephanie cried when she heard the doorbell ring. She jumped up from her seat, even though she didn't want to appear overly anxious. She calmed herself down a bit and glanced at Amanda, knowing the butler would let him in.
She guessed that her parents would greet him when he was let in, and she was actually relieved that this was their first date and not their fifth. She didn't want them to know certain things about her, like the fact that, despite what Daddy thought, she was not a virgin...
