What happens when Shane is going through a trial separation from his wife who is also pregnant with their first child? That's only the start, it's when he meets the younger niece of Bill Goldberg. Will things get more than complicated? Okay crummy summary but give it a chance. Let me know what you thinks, thanks all!
-2003-
Shane McMahon was walking the hallways getting ready to do a promo against Kane after being away since the Invasion business. It was one week ago when his mother was being tomb stoned brutally by the big red monster. He was getting himself worked up just like he always does when getting in front of thousands of people. He popped in his headphones and picked his playlist.
She was walking around the corner trying to find her uncle Bill. Her flight came in later so she had to be let in by security. Macy Goldberg just turned twenty-three and got out of college and was looking to be in talent relations and was very excited when her uncle had helped get her an opportunity/try-out with the WWE since he started working there earlier in the year. She was very close with him seeing as her father wasn't in the picture very much. She would hang out with him while he worked in the WCW. She would study the business and grew a love and respect for it since she was eighteen years old. She was digging through her purse trying to find her cell phone when she made contact with him. He was over six feet for sure. He had dark hair with grey seeping through. He had sweet big brown eyes and nice smile. He was wearing a t-shirt and basketball shorts. The shirt was clinging to him from the light sweat from jumping around doing his warmup. She did the short math and noticed that it was Shane McMahon. She couldn't help but admire the view in front of her.
"I'm so sorry about that, I was trying to find my phone and I was not looking up. Are you okay?" She asked nervously.
Shane looked down at the younger beauty in front of him. She was wearing tight blue jeans and a off the shoulder sweater. She was probably only five foot seven maybe. She had long brown hair with blonde highlights that went above her hip line. She had it straight and it was framing her face which was perfect with gold and brown tones. Her blue eyes showed fear.
"It's okay, are you okay?" He smiled at her.
She let out a breath realizing that he wasn't going to yell at her. Macy had typically two different reaction from wrestlers or other people in this business. Either they would tell her to get out of their way or hit on her.
"You're Shane McMahon right?"
"Yes, what's your name? I can't say I haven't seen you before."
"Yeah kind of weird seeing as how my uncle was pretty big in WCW. But I was going through college in his last years and I wasn't around when you did the invasion deal. My name is Macy"
"Your Uncle?"
"Oh, Bill Goldberg."
"Oh really? It's very nice to meet you." He smiled nicely.
"Nice to meet you too. But I guess I'll be seeing more of you."
"Oh your not just visiting?"
His heart smiled at the thought of seeing her again. Things had been pretty crazy for Shane lately. Things between him and his wife Marissa were definitely on the rocks. They had agreed to a trial separation earlier in the year but were shocked to find that she became pregnant sometime in May. They were planning on keeping the baby of course. But they still weren't back together. They were just taking it one month at a time.
"Actually I might be working here. Just doing my best to keep the talent happy and in line at the same time is what I was told."
"That's good, glad you're getting that opportunity."
"Yeah it is amazing, but I also want to prove to everyone that I can do this job better than most. I feel sort of awkward that my uncle got me the job."
"Well Macy, here's the deal. If you weren't more than qualified, they wouldn't give you a shot. To be honest, the real reason that they are giving you a try is because not only are you more than qualified but you have family in this business and you know some of the business and you probably have respect for it."
"That I do, I love being around it. I personally didn't want to become a female wrestler, but I wanted to be involved somehow. Do you have a match or something?" She pointed to him reminding him of what he was wearing.
"Well not a match, but I need to teach Kane a lesson."
"Yeah I saw that last week what he did to Linda. I got to be honest, I'm really surprised your mom could take a hit like that. She must be one tough lady."
"That she is, listen I hate to be rude. But I have to get out there in just a couple minutes."
"Good luck Shane, give him hell." She winked at him.
"Thanks, I'll see you around."
Macy continued on her way and had to ask for a couple people to help her find Bill. He was in catering grabbing a quick bite to eat. Macy walked into the area and spotted him. She ran to him practically jumping into his arms. He nearly lost his footing but seeing the size different he was able to control the situation.
"Hey baby, I'm glad you made it."
"Me too, took me forever to find you though. Do you have anything going on right now?"
"Not at the moment, just getting something to snack on."
"Good, then I'm all yours."
"Well were else would you go?"
"Well I kind of made a new friend."
"Oh really? A female friend I hope."
"Oh stop uncle Bill. I'm not eighteen anymore, I'm a grown woman now."
"Oh yeah I forgot, but listen sweetheart...I don't want you messing around with most of these guys back here. Some are just scum, married and won't tell you. I just don't want you getting hurt honey."
"I'm being careful okay, he's a very nice guy and he most certainly isn't scum."
"Well those are slim odds, who is he Macy?"
"Shane McMahon...? Now don't go yelling at him or being foolish. We just met and it doesn't mean anything he was just nice and welcoming."
"Well I would hope so Macy, the man is married okay?"
"Actually that's half true."
"Half true?" He looked confused.
"He's separated, that's old news you know."
"So it's appropriate now?"
"We aren't dating, but if we happen to become friends then that's okay."
"I can't see that lasting honey, plus he's got about ten years on you give or take."
"Barely even friends okay? Calm down okay?"
"My goodness, five minutes and you're already making me worry."
"Hey what can I say, I haven't had a boyfriend in over a year and I'm tired of being single. I want to have some fun." She sounded excited.
"You are definitely a hand full."
"Yes I am but you still love me." She playfully poked his arm.
He was sitting in the cafeteria area eating a sandwich when he noticed her walk into the room. He hadn't seen her before and he wondered who she could be. She ran over to Bill Goldberg and embraced him like a daughter or niece would. Slightly overhearing their conversation he confirmed that she was his niece. She looked so sweet in those tight little jeans. He wanted her and he wanted her bad. He was going to stop at nothing to get her.
"Hey there Stevie, how's it going?" Victoria approached her in ring partner.
Steven Richards gaze fell back on the young beauty. "Oh nothing, just admiring the view."
"Really Steven, she's way to young for you."
"She's so perfect, I've got to have her." He almost sounded possessed.
"Tell you what buddy, good luck with that. I mean you'll have to get passed Goldberg, that's just not going to happen."
"Yeah well we'll see won't we?"
The night had gone on a little further. Shane had taken care of his business with Kane, he hit the showers and got dressed and was getting ready to leave. He had been going through a lot this past year and the loneliness was definitely setting in. he couldn't help but let his mind wonder to the young beauty he encountered earlier. She was so sweet and friendly. Of course it didn't help that she was the niece of Bill Goldberg and he didn't think Bill would take it too well if he asked out his niece. So maybe it would be a good idea to just straight out ask Bill himself. Eliminate the potential threat.
Bill was getting ready to leave but was waiting for Macy to get back from talking with Vince McMahon. He was putting on his shirt when he heard a knock on the door. He figured that it was Macy not wanting to just walk in on the chance that he was still getting dressed. Bill walked over to the door.
"Macy honey you know I'm almost ready to go you don't have to kno-." Bill was surprised to see Shane McMahon in front of him.
"Shane, I only need one guess as to why you're here."
Shane couldn't help but be a little intimidated. "You know why I'm here?"
"Yes, she's meeting with your dad right now she's almost finished though if you want to wait."
"Well actually Bill I'm glad she's not here at the moment, I wanted to talk to you real quick if that's okay."
Bill stepped aside allowing access for Shane to enter. "What can I do for you Shane?"
"Well actually I am here in regards to Macy." Shane choked out.
"I figured as much. She did mention earlier that she met you."
"She did?" She accidentally let his voice get a pitch too high.
"Just tell me what you want Shane, this is so high school."
"Look Bill, I just wanted to come to you as a man cause I'm sure you love her like a daughter and I want you know that my intentions are not evil. I would like to take Macy out for a drink or dinner and I just thought I would see about asking you first. If you aren't okay with that I will back off."
"You know what Shane, I definitely have my concerns but since you came to me like a man I'll give you one chance. If you hurt her or she comes to me crying all professionalism will be thrown out the door, fair?"
"Absolutely, thanks Bill."
He stuck his hand out and they shook hands and looked into each other's eyes and had a serious moment. But that moment was broken shortly after when there was a knock from the doorway and Macy was standing right there. They both tuned to face the subject of their conversation. Shane's hearted started to pound at the mere sight of her. He was starting to get a little scared at the feelings he felt around her. Was this lust? Or did he have some stronger feelings? After what he'd been going through with his estranged wife and the fact that she was pregnant, he wasn't sure what he was feeling nowadays.
"Shane what are you doing here?"
"Well Macy, I was wondering if you wanted to grab a drink with me?"
"Were you asking my uncle or me?"
"He was asking me for permission honey." Bill chimed in.
"You excepted?" She looked at her uncle and he could see her eyes begging him to say yes.
"Yes I did, he's been fair warned on top of it." He said with a stern tone.
Macy looked at Shane with concerned eyes. "He wasn't mean to you was he?"
"No, he made his point clear." Shane responded."
"Well in that case I would love to. Do you know any good places?"
"Yeah, I know a few in the area. Did you drive here?"
"No I took a cab, Bill was going to give me a ride."
"Well we can go together if you want? I'll bring you safely back to your hotel after."
"Yeah that would be great."
"Great, well I'm ready to go if you are?"
"I am, I'll text you later when I get back to my room okay Unk?"
"Okay sweetheart, have a good time and be safe."
"Only a couple drinks, right Shane?" She direction from Bill to Shane.
Shane nodded his head in a agreement.
"Well I am ready, let's go."
Well that's it for chapter 1. Hope you liked it, let me know what you thinks so far. I'll be getting the next chapter up soon! Please R and R.
