CHAPTER ONE
It's been going on for a solid month now. Things were fine, or so he thought they were. Then it seemed like it all had changed overnight. They fought more frequently now, and he had no idea why. Just now, when he entered their hotel room and saw her look up and give him an icy stare, he felt the temperature in the room drop.
"Hey, babe", said Hunter. He approached her and kissed her.
"Hey", said Stephanie. "How was your autograph session?"
"Long. They actually had to start turning people away". He grabbed a water from the small frig. "I felt bad". He sat down on the couch.
"Oh I'm sure they'll get over it, Hunter", said Stephanie. He was getting so annoying lately, she thought. The fire was gone, she was sure of it. And in her eyes, a flame burned for another.
"So why don't you sit down with me? Let's spend some time together", he said and patted the space next to him.
"I can't, I'm going shopping with my mom," she replied. "I might be back in time for dinner but then again I'm not sure". She was at the mirror fixing her hair.
"Um, all right", he got up. "I'll go with you".
"You'll be bored out of your mind, trust me. I'll try to hurry", she kissed his cheek. "See ya", and with that, she was gone.
Hunter sighed heavily. Part of him wanted to take off after her, but the other part told him forget about it. It's just not worth it anymore. He sat back down on the couch, grabbed the remote and turned on the t.v., trying to tune out the thoughts in his mind.

In another part of the hotel, in another room, Randy Orton stood in front of the mirror, checking his reflection. He grinned at himself. There was no way she was going to resist him this time. He'd been working on slowly wearing the Billon Dollar Princess down for the past month. Things were getting pretty heated storyline wise between himself and Triple H on RAW. And they were about to get even hotter. About a week ago, he kissed Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. No, he wasn't thinking about the kiss that fueled the feud between himself and the WWE Champ. He was thinking about the kiss they shared a month before that. That "accidental" one the night he offered to drive her back to her hotel after her rental wouldn't start. Where were they? Oh yeah, Phoenix, he smiled to himself. It was inevitable really. When Stephanie and Randy interacted there was definitely chemistry. And when he saw those two together, he knew that her eyes were on him and not her husband at all. All of the sudden, his cell phone vibrated against the dresser near him. He picked it up. It was a text message from Steph, telling him that she was on her way and all he could do was smile.
