Chapter 7 Taking back what's theirs
Many months after Paul and Stephanie where forced apart they were still having their phone conversations almost every night. They both knew they were still in love and would never be able to be with anyone else.
One night Paul called her and was unable to control himself.
"Hey Steph." He
said after she said hi when she picked up the phone
"Hey Paul
what's new?" She asked.
"Nothing.. I love you!! um I mean
nothing!" He said again trying to change the subject. Stephanie
couldn't help but giggle but she also felt sad as well.
"It's so
unfair we can't be together." Stephanie said finally calming
down.
"Yeah I know." Paul replied.
"Stupid politics"
Steph began.
"Stupid Rock!" Paul added.
"Stupid Heyman!"
Stephanie countered. They began laughing and giggling at each
other.
"Maybe if we begged your dad he would let us try it
again?" Paul suggested.
"Possibly." Steph said. "I know he
can tell how miserable I am without you."
"You know my parents
said I looked miserable last time I saw them!" Paul said
laughing.
"Two miserable people makes one happy one I guess!"
Stephanie said teasing Paul.
The next day was Monday night Raw and Paul was sitting alone in his locker room waiting for Steph so they could start getting ready for his match. She was taking a lot longer than normal and just when he started to get worried she ran in and jumped around in excitement.
"Guess what!!"
Stephanie exclaimed. "Dad says he was wrong to make us go through
that! We can stay together if we are willing to deal with it
ourselves!"
"Really!" Paul said picking getting up quickly.
He picked her up by the waist and spun her around. They hugged
tightly in celebration.
After Raw that night they decided to celebrate just like they did the first time they started dating. Paul ordered a candle light dinner from room service so they wouldn't have to worry about anyone bothering them. They ate quietly staring into each others eyes. Paul decided to break the silence but throwing his napkin at Steph. She laughed, dipped it in her food and then threw it back. Then Paul grabbed some of his mashed potato and went over to her and put it down her shirt and then began tickling her to the ground. He finally stopped tickling her when they were both lying on the ground with him on top of her. They kissed as they rolled around the room.
"So much for a
quiet romantic dinner!" Steph teased as Paul helped her off of the
ground.
"What did you expect from me?" He teased kissing her
again.
"I didn't expect potato down my shirt I can tell you that
much!" She said reaching down her shirt and grabbing some. She
chased him around the room with it and finally jumped on him and
stuffing it down his shirt as well. "Pay back is a bith huh?"
She teased.
"No not really." He said holding her. "I'm
having fun!"
"Same here!" She said grabbing more potato and
putting a dab on his nose.
The phone rang interrupting their fun. Stephanie sighed and answered it.
"Oh hi mom."
Steph said after hearing who it was.
"I heard you are dating
Paul Levesque again. Is that true?" Linda asked.
"Yeah mom it
is." Stephanie said wishing she wouldn't get another lecture.
"Well
I'm proud of you for choosing love over the easy way out. Why don't
you bring him home on your day off and we can have dinner. I will
make chicken and mashed potatoes."
Stephanie couldn't help but
giggle when she said mashed potatoes.
"What's so funny?"
Linda asked.
"Nothing ma!" Steph said smiling at Paul. "That
is a great idea I can't wait!"
"Okay great honey I will see
you then." Linda replied.
"Bye ma!" Stephanie said hanging
up.
"So what did she
say?" Paul asked
"We are going to dinner with my parents on
Saturday. And she is making mashed potatoes so please get this food
fight thing out of your system! I don't think my parents would like
it as much as I do!" She said giggling.
