Elastic Heart Prologue: At Your Best (You Are Love)
"May I have this dance?" Shane asked me, and I looked up at him smiling. Obviously, I was going to dance with my boss. I never had any issue with him before. I am not sure why they were playing Isley Brothers at the company party, but I am not going to lie I actually know who they are from my dad. They are one of my favorite old school R&B groups.
Shane extended his hand and I said, "Of course Mr. McMahon." I stood up and we walked out to the dance floor and he wrapped his arms around my waist. I giggled nervously while I carefully drapped my arms around his shoulders.
He pulled me closer and we slow danced to the music. I was surprised how on beat he was. "Wow, you have rhythm." I gasped, and started laughing. "I'm surprised."
"Oh, cause I am white boy from Connecticut?" He gave me a funny look, causing me to laugh.
I nodded. "Yes, Mr. McMahon..." Shane interrupted me and said, "Umm.. Trinity you call me Shane. We are not in the working setting. You can relax, that's why I wanted you to dance with me. I want you to feel more comfortable."
"I do feel comfortable around you.." I said, semi-lying because there was times that I felt nervous around him. There were times I swore I caught him looking at me. But, I am not sure. Men always stare at me, and want me but I am focused on my career.
I am focused on being the best pro wrestler I can be, and right now I don't entertain any of the guys.
"I am sorry if this is too forward, but you look amazing in that dress tonight." Shane complimented me and I felt butterflies. I liked attention, but not too much.
"No, I wanted someone to notice me tonight that I actually made an effort." I said, being completely honest. I was a little tipsy and maybe I was talking about him. Maybe I wasn't.
"Well you definitely caught my attention." Shane said, as we swayed to the music like old lovers and we are one accord like we have danced so many times before.
I was speechless and our harmless backstage flirting was definitely more than I thought. Maybe, he did like me or atleast found me attractive. I didn't have a witty come back for his response. Shit, what do I say? "Oh really... Mr... Shane." I corrected myself, I was used to being so professional.
"Yes, you are gorgeous. Any man would be lucky to have you. I would love if you would join me in my hotel room for a drink." Shane said, not holding back. I was literally stunned by his offer.
What should I do? Should I go up to his room or should I respectfully decline.
