Lies and Love

Chapter 2

"So you'll be here tomorrow right?" Stephanie asked eagerly.

"Stephanie, baby, I told you I would. Now how do you want this handled? Temporary or permanent?" a man's deep voice asked.

"Scotty, I don't want you to KILL her." Stephanie started to smile, "I just want her out of our lives again. She thinks she can just waltz in here and pick up where she left off, well she's wrong. I don't want my life to go back to the way it was in high school."

"I know, babe. It's hard being second best."

"Scott Hall! You know damn well I'm second best to no one!"

"I know, and I promised you I would take care of it. Didn't I?"

Stephanie smiled into the receiver, "Yes," she said in a sickly sweet voice, "and you always keep your promises, right?"

Scott sighed, "Stephanie, I TOLD you I would take care of it. Listen I got to go."

"Ok, bye." Stephanie hung up the phone. Monica's stay in the WWE was going to be very short, she'd make sure of that. Stephanie smiled as she prepared the matches for that night's Smackdown. ___________________________________________________________________

Monica walked down the halls of the arena. It had been the best weekend of her life. Her family had really taken her back. even though she'd been gone for such a long time. Her mom had cried and insisted they bond again by going on a HUGE shopping spree. Shane had completely flipped out. He was always close to Monica and although he'd never admit it, she was the only woman who could ever beat him at boxing. It seemed the whole family had taken her back with open arms.

Monica turned a corner, trying to find Stephanie's office in the maze of halls, when she ran into someone's chest.

She fell flat on her butt and looked up to see who the brick wall was that she hit.

"Oh my gosh, Are you ok?" It was Paul Wright, a.k.a. the Big Show.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. I should've seen that wall."

Paul grinned and helped her up, "Are you new around here?"

"I guess you can say that." Monica said thoughtfully, "Hey do you know where Stephanie's office is?"

Paul looked at her for a second and then answered, "Yeah, it's right down the hall. The 4th door on the left."

Monica gave a hurried "thanks" and rushed down the hall.

Paul watched her speed a way and a smile came to his usually hard features. He shook his head and headed on his way.

Monica walked into Stephanie's office. "Steph?"

"Damn it Monica." Stephanie said, "I told you to knock before you come in."

"As you have a thousand times." Monica said with a grin. "What's one more time?"

Stephanie gave a half-hearted smile, "What can I do for you?"

"Steph, I can't be pampered like this anymore or I'll end up like you." Monica started with a playful smile. "So. I was wondering if you could arrange it so I can learn how to wrestle."

"Monica, you are 28 years old, going on 29. aren't you a little old to be learning how to wrestle?" Stephanie said with a sigh.

"Stephanie, dear, I fought terrorist for 11 years. I've been stabbed about 30 times, been shot at more than I can count, and taken 10 bullets including buckshot. I think I can handle some wrestlers in spandex shorts."

"Fine, you can start tonight. You'll be wrestling Mark Calloway, The Undertaker."

"Thank you so much Steph. I owe you one." Monica said as she hurried out of the office.

"Don't worry, Monica. You'll soon pay back in full." Stephanie said with a small smile.

Thanks for the reviews. I hope you guys like this chapter as much as the last. I'm not sure where I am going with this story, I am just letting my fingers go! LOL
