"God whats wrong with him?"
"Chessy I been there done that..He's scared and you pressuring him to admit to feelings he's not ready for is not going to help." Scott said.
"I guess." She said.
Scott leaned over and kissed her.
"Hey if I can turn over a new leaf anyone can, right?" he said.
"Yea..But listen not one word of this to Dave."
"Don't worry, Dave would pound Shawn flat, I'm not saying anything." He said.
"Now you stop worrying about all this, let Shawn handle his own love life..Okay?"
"Alright." Chessy said.
"I gotta go..I 'm meeting Kali and Paxton for lunch."
She kissed Scott and headed for the cafeteria.
Kali waved to Paxton.
"Hey let me grab something to eat and I'll be right over." Paxton said.
Kali munched at her salad. Chessy had told her what happened. Shawn was such a nice guy she just didn't understand it.
Paxton had grabbed a sandwich and coffee.
"Hey..hows your first day going?" Kali asked.
"Work is great I love it."
"What about everything else?" Kali asked.
"Truthfully I'm hurt, but I'll get over it." Paxton said looking down at her sandwich.
"Hey girls, sorry I'm late." Chessy said.
She had a hot dog and fries and quickly set down.
"Paxton I been thinking, you know what you need girl, get yourself out there and date. You been in the army what? Six years..not much dating I bet." Chessy said.
"Well true, they kinda look down on that when you're deployed even though it goes on, but no, truthfully I have never dated." Paxton said.
Chessy's mouth fell open it was worse than she thought, that bastard had taken her virginity and then treated her like this.
Paxton seen the look on her face.
She didn't like talking about what happened so long ago, but she didn't want Chessy and Kali thinking Shawn had did something worse than he really did either.
"Look its not like that..I wasn't a virgin technically..I was raped when I was seventeen...I just wasn't all that interested in men or dating and then I went in the army and well there was never time for a relationship." Paxton said.
"Pax I'm so sorry." Kali said.
"Me too." Chessy said reaching across to take her hand.
"Well it was horrible, but it was along time ago and thanks to Dave and a lot of therapy..I'm better..I moved past it. But I guess thats why what Shawn said hurt me so bad. He is the first guy I ever let touch me like that and it meant something to me, I had hoped it meant something to him too." She said.
Chessy was angry. Shawn had hurt her and looks like Paxton had been through enough.
"Well its about time you got out there, Girl you look hot..you been getting looks from guys in here since you walked in. Guys will be asking you out, say yes, we'll go shopping for some hot clothes with you. We'll be in in Raleigh tomorrow, they got some great places to shop." Chessy said smiling.
Paxton looked at her.
"You really think anyone would ask me out?"
"Pax have you not ever looked in the mirror, you're gorgeous." Chessy said.
"You are Pax, you look better than most of these Diva's around here." Kali said.
"Well I guess its about time, I start living a life..thats what I came here for, to start over so to speak." Paxton said catching there enthusiasm.
"Great..it will be fun." Chessy said. "Okay all the guys are going to be at the bar in the hotel after the show, most of them anyway..We'll meet up there say midnight and me and Kali will introduce you to all the hot guys." Chessy said grinning.
Paxton smiled. She was going to like it here, you couldn't stay depressed around Chessy and Kali.
Paxton looked at the monitor she was working on and groaned. It was Shawn and he was dancing his way down to the ring and he looked hot as hell.
She sniffed as she remembered his promise to dance for her. She had to stop moping over him. Chessy was right, there were other guys out there. She was going to start having fun.
Paxton found Chessy and Kali waiting at her hotel room door.
"We're going to help you get dressed." they said smiling.
Paxton laughed.
"We got a flight out at ten in the morning..we'll all feel like shit in the morning." Chessy said laughing.
Paxton opened her door and they filed in her room.
"Do you have any skirts?" Chessy asked plopping on the bed.
"Nope, just jeans and cargo's." Paxton said.
"Pax we are doing serious shopping tomorrow." Kali said laughing.
"Okay..low rise tight jeans." Chessy asked hopefully.
Paxton laughed and pulled out a pair.
"Okay sexy top is a must."
Paxton got a black silky spaghetti strap top out.
"Thats the ticket..now go get dressed, we got work to do." Chessy said.
When Paxton came out they both whistled. "Pax your hiding all your assets under those baggy pants. The top showed enough of her flat belly to be sexy as hell.
Paxton blushed she never thought of herself as sexy.
"Alright lets go." Chessy said.
They walked into the bar and it was filled with wrestlers and crew.
"Jeff." Chessy yelled. He was standing with a group that included Randy Orton, his brother Matt, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin.
"Hey Chessy Kali." He said as his eyes ran over Paxton.
"Hey I wanted to introduce Paxton to everyone, shes new her, her first day and all." Chessy said.
"Hello Paxton." Jeff said taking her hand.
"Call me Pax." She said.
"Welcome." Said Matt.
The guys were staring at her and she blushed.
Jeff was taken with her sweet looks.
"Pax would you dance with me." He asked,
"Sure." She said taking his hand.
"Hey I'm next ." Shelton called out.
"Man she is beautiful." Matt said to Chessy.
"Yea she is..she has been in the army for a while and hasn't done much dating." Chessy said.
"Well I have a feeling thats going to change." Mat said grinning.
Shawn walked into the bar wanting a beer. He figured he would get drunk and go to his room and pass out, then maybe he could get Paxton's sweet face out of his head.
He sat at the bar and turned with his drink to look around. He about spit his beer out. Paxton was dancing with Matt Hardy. The song Candy Shop was playing and her body was slowly gyrating to the music and Matt was all up on her.
He had to suppress himself from going and killing Matt.
"Oh hey Shawn..Whats up?" Chessy asked.
She asked the bartender for another coke and leaned there beside Shawn.
"Chessy." He said.
"You look a little stressed." She said innocently.
"I'm fine." He snapped ordering a second beer.
"What are you up to tonight?" he asked.
"Oh just a girls night out kinda thing..The boys are with Misha and Me and Kali and Paxton are just relaxing a little." She said.
"Yea she looks relaxed." Shawn muttered as he watched Charlie Haas pulled her in his arms for a slow dance.
"What was that?" Chessy asked.
"Nothing." He said downing the beer.
"Oh look theres a whole group of Ring Rats eyeballing you..I bet they would give anything for one glorious night with HBK...Looks like its your lucky night." She said smiling.
"You know..Scott need to bust your tail every night before he puts you to bed, just to keep up with all the bratty shit you do." He snapped.
"I Have no clue what you mean." She said taking her coke and walking off.
Shawn drank another beer and watched Paxton having the time of her life.
That could be me he thought, if he hadn't been such a damn idiot.
He drank two more beers and decided he had seen enough and headed up to his room.
Chessy laughed.
"Did you see Shawn's face, he is eat up with it." She told Kali.
"Yea I could see that..How long do you think it will take before he cracks and begs Paxton to give him another chance." Kali asked.
"Hmm well he is pretty stubborn, could be a while, we'll see." She said grinning.
Paxton made her way up to her room. She was tired but she had a great time, maybe Chessy was right, she needed to get out there and start having fun.
"Pax"
She turned and found Jeff behind her.
"Hey I was wondering if maybe...you want to set with me on the flight tomorrow?" he asked.
"Sure." She said. She liked Jeff he was very sweet.
"Great..I'll give you a ride to the airport..I'll meet you in the lobby at eight thirty." He said.
"Okay..Night." She said.
"Goodnight." Jeff said and went back down the hell.
"Pax its after two in the morning..where have you been?"
"Hey Davy and good morning to you too." She said getting her key card out.
"Don't be smart I was worried." He said crossing his arms.
"Davy listen..I been on my own for a long time now..I am grown..okay?" She said turning to face him.
"Pax I worry about you..I cant help it." He said.
Paxton hugged him.
"I know you do..but really you need to realize I'm not a little girl anymore..I was just hanging out with Chessy and Kali."
Dave nodded. "okay..sorry if I sounded bossy." He said grinning.
Paxton smiled, she could never stay angry with him.
"Night Davy." She said.
"Night."
Paxton went in her room and got ready for bed. Her first day at WWE had been great and awful at the same time. She lay in bed and couldn't help but think of Shawn. She just wanted to cry, but she didn't. She might be angry at him but she was still grateful for the beautiful way he had made love to her. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep with dreams of Shawn dancing through her mind.
The flight to Raleigh was fun.
Paxton and Jeff had compared the songs on their i pods and listened to music together. The only downside was that Shawn was sitting a row ahead and to the left. She would keep glancing over and staring at him. She couldn't help it. He was so handsome. He had his long hair in a pony tail and shades on and it looked like he hadn't shaved today. Why did he have to be so sexy?
"You got it bad huh?" Jeff asked.
She blushed and looked at Jeff.
"Sorry." She said.
"Hey no need to be sorry, you cant help how you feel, beside we can still be friends right?" He asked grinning.
"Yea..I would like that." Paxton said.
"He's not nearly good enough for you." Jeff said.
"Maybe not, but like you say I cant change the way I feel."
Mark walked over and sat down beside Shawn.
"Okay asshole, what did you do to that little girl?" Mark asked.
"Nothing." Shawn said trying to ignore Mark.
"Oh yea..the last time I seen you two, you were following her around like a lovesick puppy. Now you're here she sitting with Jeff and she keeps looking over here at you and looks like she wants to cry." Mark said.
"Look Mark..it was just a thing..you know how I am..Love the ladies and leave them wanting more..thats it..no strings." Shawn said.
Mark had the desire to smack Shawn. But he didn't.
"Oh..so if I was to say want to take her out..no hard feelings?" Mark asked.
Shawn had to bite his lip to keep from yelling at Mark. He closed his eyes and counted to ten to himself.
"None..She's not my problem." Shawn said after a minute.
"Good." Mark said smiling.
Shawn was in severe denial, lets see how long it lasted.
Paxton flopped back in the bed. It had been a long day. Kali and Chessy had took her shopping after they had arrived in Raleigh. She had plenty of sexy clothes as Chessy called them. When she had got back she had dinner with Dave.
Then she had went out to have drinks with Randy Orton.
Paxton smiled. He was a nice guy and a great dancer. But he wasn't Shawn. That was the problem. There were plenty of nice guys around but none of them made her feel the way Shawn did.
She did however have a date to meet Mark for breakfast. Mark was a different story. He was hot. She was pretty sure she wouldn't be looking at him like he was a nice safe date. She found him very attractive. Maybe he could get Shawn out of her mind.
She sat up straight as she heard a knock at the door.
Who the hell would be coming by this late she wondered.
She got up and looked out the peephole. It was Shawn what was he doing here. She swallowed hard and looked down at herself. She had simple white spaghetti strapped nightgown. She supposed she looked decent enough.
Shawn about bit his tongue off when she opened the door. God she looked hot. He wanted to strip off the gown and throw her on the bed.
Finally he met her eyes.
She looked at him. Did he have to look so good. He had on a white t-shirt and tight blue jeans, his hair was loose and he had shades on. Damn she thought. All she wanted was to drag him in the room and make love with him.
"I wanted to apologize for yesterday..I was a real jerk. I jumped to some dumb conclusions, I know I said some hurtful things to you, I'm very sorry." Shawn said.
Paxton looked at him. She could see he was sincere and that he meant it. Yes he had hurt her, but no one was perfect.
Shawn had decided earlier today, he owed her a apology. He didn't go around hurting people on purpose. He would still stay away from her, but he at the very least owed her an apology.
"Thank you...I accept your apology." Paxton said.
"Good Thanks..I'll see you around." he said and turned and left.
Paxton shut the door confused. That was it. She figured he would ask her out or something.
She laid back down and pulled the covers around her. She wished she had pulled him in the room now, she remembered how good it felt to lay in his arms.
"Stop it Pax." She said out loud.
She had to get him off her mind. It was obvious now, the night they shared was a one time thing. She needed to move on.
Paxton was up at five am. Six years of being up at the crack of dawn for PT (physical training) was hard to break. She figured she might as well keep in the habit of running every morning to stay in shape. She threw on some shorts and a tank top and laced up her running shoes. Paxton pinned her curly hair on top of her head with a clip and grabbed her key card, sliding it in her back pocket.
She walked through the lobby, not many people stirring this early.
"Where are you headed this early?"
She looked up surprised to Shawn out and about this early.
"Running." She said as she looked at him.
He looked like he hadn't had much sleep. Black jeans and a black t-shirt and his long locks pulled back in a pony tail..He looked good even with bloodshot eyes.
"Thinks its safe to be running around by yourself this early?"
"I'll be fine." She said and opened the lobby door and took off running.
Shawn caught his breath as he watched her take off running. She was beautiful. He wanted her, but he didn't want everything that would come along with her.
"Shawn."
He turned to find Dave standing behind him.
"Mind telling me whats going on between you and my baby sister?" Dave asked.
"Dave if you haven't noticed, your sister is not a baby. Theres nothing going on, we're acquaintances, but if there was it wouldn't be any of your business." Shawn said starting to walk off.
Dave followed behind him.
"She's my sister, no matter how old she is. You stay away from her. I know you Shawn a different woman in your bed in each town. My sister is not some plaything for you." Dave said.
Shawn rounded on him.
"Listen to me Dave..I know Paxton is not some notch on any mans bedpost okay, you don't have to tell me that. Mind your own business." Shawn said and stalked off.
Dave watched him walk away. He was definitely going to keep a eye on this situation. The last thing Paxton needed was to fall for someone like Shawn, who saw women as a sport.
Shawn went outside to set on a bench out front and sipped at his coffee.
Dave was right and he didn't blame him for worrying about Paxton. If he were in Dave's shoes he would be the same way. He looked at his watch, she had been gone forty minutes. How the hell long did she run. Shawn breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her coming up the side of the hotel.
She stopped beside him and did some stretching which made him want to die right there.
He felt his jeans get even tighter in the front. God did she know the affect she had on him.
He pulled his shades down a little on his nose and watched her.
Paxton sat down beside him.
"What ya doing out here?" Paxton asked.
Shawn looked at her. Her curly hair had escaped from the clip and was framing her beautiful flushed face. He had the desire to pull her on his lap and spend the next several moments kissing her senseless and maybe counting those adorable freckles sprinkled liberally across her nose and cheeks.
Paxton seen the desire in his eyes and looked down away from his gaze.
"Wanted to make sure you got back safe." he said and stood up.
She wanted to snap off that she didn't need a keeper or a watch guard, but somehow it made her feel good to know he cared at least a little.
"Surprised Dave isn't out here waiting with you." She said.
"Me to." he said chuckling.
"See you later." he said and strolled off.
Paxton sighed, that man was confusing as hell.
She looked at the time and jumped up. She had to get moving, she was having breakfast with Mark in a little over a hour.
