I own NADA.
Stephanie heard from all her friends and co workers about the state her husband was in. Torrie told her he was moping around at her and X Pac's apartment because he said he "couldn't be at his house with all the pictures of Steph". She didn't know what to do. She missed him as much as he missed her. But she couldn't help but question him these days. She did finally answer his call Monday morning. She just couldn't resist anymore. He sounded so sad…almost pathetic and as much as she wanted to give him she tried to stay strong.
"Hello." she said as coldly as she could.
"Steph…oh thank God you finally answered…we got talk baby." he said sounding hopeful.
"I don't wanna talk right now Hunter." she said in a monotone voice.
"Well I fuckin do!" Hunter yelled. He was fed up. He was sick of Trish…of Kurt…and of Steph's attitude and he felt his rage building up.
"Screaming at me won't help Hunter. I already have trust issues with you." Steph said keeping her cool.
"Trust issues with me? Steph everything that happened was a misunderstanding. But YOU…how about me trusting you?" Hunter said in accusing voice.
"What the hell are you talking about Hunter?" she said rolling her eyes on the other side of the line.
"You and Kurt Angle…that's what I'm talking about. That jackass comes near you again and I'll kill him." He said getting a dangerously low voice at the end of his sentence.
Stephanie began crying. She didn't know why. Her marriage had come to this. She started crying so hard she couldn't even mask it on the phone.
"Hunter I cannot talk about this right now. I have been an emotional mess these past couple of weeks and you of all people are just adding to it" she said through her sobs.
Hunter couldn't believe he was making her cry. All he wanted to do is make her come home.
"Oh god baby I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get loud. Just please come to me so we can talk." he said in his softest comforting voice.
"I don't think so Hunter. Maybe tonight but I need to go right now." and she hung up on that note. She couldn't stop crying and Hunter being sweet made the tears come more.
Hunter plopped down on his couch. He didn't know what to feel anymore.
A few days passed and Hunter and Stephanie were talking again but it always led to arguing. They still stayed in separate hotel rooms. It was the Wednesday night before Smackdown and Hunter was headed down to the bar to meet Billy Gunn. Then he saw her. Sitting at the bar by herself. He was going to go sit by her when he noticed a drink half drank sitting beside her. He figured she must be having a drink with her brother or something. He thought that until he saw Kurt Angle come out of the bathroom and sit right in front of that drink and right beside his wife.
Hunter felt his hands shaking. He felt his temper that he nor anyone could control rising and boiling his blood. He tried to tell himself to calm down but before he knew it he had grabbed Angle on the back and flipped him out of his chair.
"Hunter!" Steph screamed trying to hold him back. "Hunter it's not what you think…CALM DOWN!" she said.
About this time there was a scene being made and Shane and his friends made their way over to help Steph hold back Hunter.
"HUNTER….EASE UP…HUNTER LOOK AT ME!" Shane saw the hate in Hunter's eyes and it scared him. So he kept yelling at him in his McMahon demanding voice.
Hunter finally eased up.
"OK OK Everyone shut the fuck up!" Hunter screamed at everyone knocking everyone out of his way. Everyone stood in silence at fear of what he could do.
He walked right up to Kurt with his chest heaving. You could tell Kurt was terrified but he tried to hold his head high. Stephanie was going to come in between them before Shane stopped her and held onto her.
Hunter got nose to nose with Kurt and began talking to him in a low whisper.
"What the fuck are you doing with my wife?" he said looking down at the Olympic Hero who was practically shaking deep down inside.
"I was having a drink." Kurt said raising his head higher.
"And who the fuck told you that you were allowed to have a drink with my wife?" Hunter said.
This made Kurt mad. Who did Triple H think he was just because he married the beautiful bosses' daughter…he could control her?
"She did. Since her husband was acting like a jerk I figured I would help out." Kurt said smirking at Hunter. He wasn't scared anymore. He was actually getting a high off of getting under Hunter's skin.
Hunter grab him by the shirt and slammed him up against the wall.
"Look her way again and I'll make sure you spend the rest of you life in a wheel chair." he said.
"You and what army Triple H?" Kurt asked knowing that he could take the Game by himself.
"This army." Billy Gunn said as he, X Pac, Torrie, and Road Dogg came walking up.
"What's the problem H?" X Pac asked smiling and just looking for a fight.
"Look man…we were just having a drink. That's all." Kurt said surrendered knowing what all DX was capable of.
"Hunter, he is telling the truth." Stephanie said making Hunter let go of Kurt's T Shirt. "I was actually just going to finish this drink and come see you. Kurt was just giving me some encouraging advice." Steph noticed Hunter was still glaring a hole in Kurt so she grabbed his face so his eyes met hers.
"I miss you." She mouthed. She didn't know what it had to do with Hunter's jealousy but she was dying to say it to him…she had been for days.
Hunter finally backed up and motioned for Kurt to scurry on. Kurt booked it out of there like a rabbit. Hunter turned around and saw the crowd the scene had attracted. He belted out at everybody.
"Nothing to see here ass holes so get on." he said barking at the crowd. Everyone turned and walked off including DX and Shane. They saw the anger in Hunter's eyes and no one wanted to be the next victim.
Steph wrapped her arms around Hunter. "Baby what you saw was nothing. I was down because I miss you…and I was telling Kurt that."
Hunter began to relax and looked into her eyes. He wrapped his arms back around her.
"You really miss me?" he said pulling her closer.
"Yes" she said with tears in her eyes.
"And you said it to that dumb ass Kurt Angle…that you missed your husband?" he said spitting Kurt's name out.
"Of course…he is my friend…and I have told all my friends how much I miss you." she reached up and grabbed his face and kissed him.
She didn't want to argue about Kurt…or Trish…or anything. She just wanted to be with him.
But nor Hunter or Steph knew what a rocky road that have yet to travel.
