Summary- Take one grumpy man who had swore off marriage and relationships, throw in one friendly perky writer, add attraction and sparks, and see if you get a lifetime of love.

A/N- My Scott muse has been acting up again demanding a story, cant say I blame him, too few Scott stories out there. Anyway I am at his whim right now. This is not a continuation of Broken Halo, but there may be mentions of Characters from that fic, as it is that Scott that this story is about. It really bothered me leaving him in that big dirty house all alone and drinking with no one to love, I just had to fix that.

I don't own Scott Hall or WWE or WCW or any other stray wrestlers that may appear or be mentioned in this fic. I only own Original Characters.

Thanks for the great reviews..Please keep reading and reviewing.

Scott was beside himself with worry and it made him angry. Megan had pretty much disappeared from sight for the last three days.

He had even broke down and called the animal shelter and spoke to Tracey. She had told him Megan was out of town and she wasn't sure when she was going to be back.

That was some relief at least he knew she wasn't laying in a ditch somewhere.

He looked at the time. Six in the morning, what the hell was he doing up at six in the morning. He got up and decided he would go out to breakfast and go find the guys and get into a poker game. Anything to keep Megan off his mind.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Megan struggled to get in the door and finally dropped her bag inside the door and sat down Duncan's carrier and opened it so he could get out. He went running out as soon as she unlatched it.

"Glad to be home?" She said laughing.

Megan fed Duncan and then went and showered. She pulled on some cut offs and a red tank and walked to her office.

She had to get some work done today, enough wallowing over Scott. She picked up her cell phone and called Tracey.

"Hi, Tracey, I'm sorry I missed my day, but I had to get away for a few days, I'm back now, if you want I can come help out tomorrow."

"That would work great, by the way some guy named Scott called looking for you, I told him you were out of town, but I didn't give him any details." Tracey said.

Megan was shocked, Scott was looking for her, she wondered way. "Did he say what he wanted?"

Tracey laughed. "No, he just said he was your neighbor, and he was worried because he hadn't seen you in a couple of days. You two got something going on?"

"No, I wish. He's a great guy, but not the commitment type." Megan said.

"I don't know girl, he sounded awfully worried. Maybe he's secretly pining for you." Tracey said.

Megan snorted. "Yea right, well anyway. I'll see you tomorrow."

Megan hung up and thought about what Tracey said. Scott was actually worried about her? That was hard to imagine.

Megan shook the thoughts from her head, she had work to do.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Megan finally got up from her computer satisfied with the work, she had got done. She looked outside surprised to find it had gotten dark.

She went downstairs and grabbed her keys. She had to get shopping done, she was planning on doing some baking tomorrow.

She checked on Duncan and found him asleep on the sofa. "I'll be back in a while Duncan."

He lazily opened his eyes and then promptly went back to sleep. Megan grinned. "Nice to know I'll be missed."

Megan grabbed her grocery list and left.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Megan filled her cart as she cruised the isles. She was planning on taking a plate of treats for the guys at the shelter and baking some extra for the kids at the home too, and Scott of course. She figured she would stop by and see him tomorrow. She had done her crying over him, and was done with that. She wasn't mad at Scott, more mad at herself than anything else. She was the dumb ass that fell for him.

She stopped on the canned vegetable isle and looked for tomato paste.

"Great on the very top shelf." She mumbled to herself, why did they insist on making shelves so high in the grocery store.

She propped her foot on the bottom shelf and tried to boost her self up long enough to grab the paste which was of course pushed to the back. "Shit." She muttered.

Scott rounded the corner and stopped. He smiled. There was his Meggie climbing up on a shelf looking like some wild little kid, except she sure didn't have the body of a little kid. God she looked good.

He got closer and watched in fascination as the shorts rode up even higher over her cute butt as she reached for something on the top shelf.

Scott figured he better intervene before she killed herself.

He went up behind her and put his hands on her waist feeling the warm smooth skin where her shirt had rode up. "Meggie..you're going to break your neck."

Megan froze, Scott's voice washed over her, it was almost a physical reaction to his voice, and then God his warms hands on her waist. Megan wasn't going to bother pretending she hadn't missed him terribly.

Megan turned in his big hands placing her hands on his shoulder, looking in his dark eyes.

Scott didn't really know what to expect, maybe for her to be mad, that he had kissed her and then a couple hours later brought some bimbo home. He wouldn't blame her, he had really messed with her head, he hadn't meant to, but he had.

He hadn't realized how bad he missed seeing her pretty face, till he had caught site of her.

Megan leaned forward and pressed her lips to his quickly and pulled back. "I missed you."

Scott felt the physical reaction kick in, the same one that happened anytime she touched him, no matter how innocently. He slowly set her back down to her feet. "I was worried about you."

Megan looked up at him grieving for the loss of his touch. "I had to get away a few days."

Scott just nodded. "How did your date go Sunday night?"

Megan looked down. "I wasnt feeling well, I cancelled."

Scott frowned. She had been so excited. Something was up with her.

Megan suddenly grinned. "I cant reach the damn tomato paste, can you grab me two cans."

Scott smiled. "That I can do." He reached up and grabbed them and put them in her cart.

"Thank you..you're my hero." She said laughing.

Scott smiled. "Don't take much with you huh?"

Megan just grinned. "Will you shop with me?"

"Sure." Scott said shrugging. Megan grabbed the few things in his cart and put them on one side of her cart. "Now you can push." She said prancing off to grab more stuff.

Scott more or less followed her around and just enjoyed watching her. She smiled and chattered away about recipes and cooking, the shelter, the children's home. Scott listened and watched and nodded at the appropriate moments.

She suddenly stopped and grabbed Scott's arm. Scott felt as if a electric current was shot through his arm and he jumped and almost ran the cart into a display of cereal. Megan laughed and grabbed the cart and stopped it before it hit. "You almost killed the cereal Scott."

"Go on Scotty, kiss her, you know you want too, she wouldn't mind, she likes kissing you, no strings sex Scotty, ask if she is still offering."

Scott shook his head to get the voice out of his head. He noticed Megan's hand was still on his arm. It felt good and right, being here with her shopping together, her chattering away about anything and everything, it all felt right and normal and it scared the shit out of him.

"Meggie, why did you leave, why did you take off. Kevin said you looked upset, when you came by the house." Scott asked. He had to know what was going on with her, and he knew her well enough to know she would tell the truth.

Megan didn't want to answer the question. She had been so happy to see Scott, she wanted to forget how she felt that day and just be happy to have him around, in anyway she could. But she wasn't going to lie, it was obviously on his mind and he wanted to know, but what if it caused him to high tail it away from her. Megan let her hand travel down his arm to grasp his hand and he wrapped his fingers around her hand as if to encourage her.

"I was jealous, I was mad and I wanted to kick her head in." Megan said in little more than a whisper.

Scott sighed but kept his hand wrapped around hers. "Kick her head in huh?"

Megan didn't look up. "Yea I know, I'm a horrible person."

Scott laughed. "You're the least horrible person I know, Meggie."

The look she gave him made him laugh again. She looked like she was feeling guilty as hell. If that was the worse thing she ever thought, she didn't have anything to worry about.

Scott put his arm around her. She had only confirmed what he had already been thinking, that she was as attracted to him as he was to her.

"Scott would you like to come to my house, I'll fix you dinner." Megan said walking beside him his arm still slung around her shoulder.

"I'd like that." He said.

They continued on through the store. Scott added a few things, probably forgot half of what he needed, but he was too busy watching her and listening to her, he was totally fascinated by everything she did.

Megan disappeared for a few minutes and he took the time to grab some more paper plates, the things had been a great idea, he hated washing dishes.

Megan reappeared and when Scott saw what she tossed in the cart, he broke out in a sweat and his hands actually started trembling.

"Steady there Scotty, don't make a fool of yourself now. She's trying to tell you something, now don't blow it by acting like some inexperienced schoolboy."

Scott counted to ten in his head and tried to figure out if he should make a comment one way or the other.

Hell she had just thrown a a extra large box of condoms in the cart, he was supposed to be able to form a sentence after that. He knew Megan was telling him several things that maybe she just couldn't or wouldn't come out and say, one that her offer of sex was still open, two that she wasn't trying to trap him in to becoming a father, she was willing to play by his rules, three she wanted to have a lot of sex, there was forty condoms in the box and four, she thought he needed the extra large size, which he did. He thought smiling.

Altogether he like the message she was sending to him, after all he wanted her.

Megan broke in on his thoughts. "You ready?"

"Hell yea he's ready, get home and get naked."

For a minute Scott was scared she had heard the words or that he had said them aloud. Then he seen she was heading up front to check out and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He followed and they went through the line pretty quickly. Scott followed her out to her car and loaded her grocery's for her.

"I'm going to take my stuff home, I'll see you in about thirty minutes." Scott said.

Megan nodded and got in her car.

Scott headed for his car surprised he had managed to get a complete sentence out. He quickly threw his stuff in the car and jumped in his car.

"Scotty just calm down or you're going to disappoint her, I mean at this point if she touched you, I think it would be all over, how embarrassing would that be?"

"Will you please shut up." Scott snapped.

Scott was confused. He wanted Megan in the worst way, but he wasn't sure it was a good idea. She had practically admitted she had feelings for him, and while he knew that he liked her and that he was definitely attracted to her, he knew how it would end. He didn't settle down, that kind of life wasn't for him. He already knew what Megan was looking for. A husband, kids, a fairytale and Scott didn't do fairy tales.

But he couldn't back away, something kept drawing him to Megan, he felt as if he had no control over the situation, maybe thats why she scared him so bad. He had never lost control over any woman, even his ex-wife. He had always been in complete control of himself and the situation, with Megan, he felt if he had no willpower, that he was at her mercy. It was not a good feeling for Scott Hall, it was a feeling he was totally unfamiliar with.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Megan was in the kitchen starting the spaghetti sauce when she heard the knock on the back door. She put her knife down and went and opened the door smiling. Scott came in and handed her a bottle of wine to go with dinner. "Thanks." She said and went and put it in the fridge.

Duncan came in, but he didn't hiss this time, he just stared for a minute and then turned and went back out.

Scott had a feeling the beast really didn't like him all that much. "Can I help?"

"You can cut up the vegetables for the salad if you want." She said and put the things out on the chopping block for him.

Scott grabbed a knife and started cutting the vegetables up while he watched her preparing the sauce. The domestic feeling settled in on him again, it was unfamiliar to him, and his nerves got the best of him, causing him to nick his finger. "Shit." He muttered.

Megan turned and seen his finger bleeding. "Come here." She said and took his finger in her hand. "It's just a nick."

She ran some water and held it under rinsing the cut. She dried it off and the got a band aid and put it around his finger. "Thanks."

Megan just smiled and went back to making dinner.

She got the sauce simmering and they went to watch a little TV while it cooked.

She handed Scott the remote and he flipped through the channels, not really caring what was on, all he could think abut was her, sitting next to him, they weren't touching, but he could feel the heat coming off her body. He glanced at her, all she had on was those tiny shorts and tank top, he could have that off her in two seconds flat.

He closed his eyes, he had to stop this.

"Scott."

He didn't open his eyes if he did, he was pretty sure he was going to grab her.

"Yea." He said.

"Wanna make out?"

Scott's eyes flew open and he looked at her like she had lost her mind. She was sitting next to him grinning.

"You just stop that." He said.

"Stop what? It was just a suggestion, theres nothing good on TV." Megan said laughing.

Scott jumped up. "Let's check on dinner."

Megan laughed and followed him to the kitchen.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scott sat back from the table. "Meggie, I'm not going to be able to move." He said smiling.

Megan grinned and got up. "I take it you like it?"

"Yea, I guess you noticed, you're a great cook." He said getting up and helping her take the dishes to the sink.

"Thanks," She said as she loaded the dishes in the dish washer.

Scott wiped the table down while she took care of the dishes.

He knew he should leave now. He really should get out of here. Before he could form the words Megan grabbed his hand and pulled him into the den. She practically shoved him on the sofa and then sat down on him straddling his lap.

Scott stiffened up, what the hell was she doing. He felt junior coming to life. "Uhh Meggie, what are you doing?"

"Close your eyes." She said her hands resting lightly on his shoulders.

"Why.." But he didn't get to finish the sentence as her lips on his cut off his words. Scott lost all reasoning as her lips touched his, her tongue slid over his bottom lip sucking on it, nipping it until he thought he would die from wanting her.

Then she stopped. Some how his arms had ended up on her waist, and he was pressing her against his raging erection.

Megan was as affected as Scott. She wanted him so bad, she was trembling. But she knew she couldn't rush him. She wasn't trying to get him in bed, just yet. She just wanted to show him they could fool around a bit, show him it was nothing to fear.

Megan ran her hands under his shirt trailing her fingers lightly over the hair on his chest stopping at his flat nipples and rubbing them.

Scott groaned his eyes still closed. Her touch set him on fire. He needed her touch.

Her lips found his again and this time he pushed his tongue in her mouth flicking hers teasing her running his tongue over her teeth and deep in the warm recesses of her mouth.

Megan moaned and thrust her tongue at his wanting, needing more. They spent the next several minutes kissing each other senseless.

Scott finally pulled back needing to breathe. Megan kept her hands under his shirt stroking his hot skin and laid her head on his shoulder.

Scott tried to get his brain straight but it was hard, he could barely think. His hard on was pressed tight to the apex between her legs, the only thing separating them, her short and his jeans.

But she could feel him, could feel the liquid heat pooling between her legs.

They sat there like that for at least ten minutes. Then Scott moved her to the couch. "I better go." He said

Megan nodded and followed him to the back door. He turned and pulled her in his arms and kissed her slowly causing her knees to buckle, he grinned and caught her around the waist.

She grinned up at him. "You make my knees weak."

He kissed her again. "I'll see you tomorrow." Scott said and let her go.

She closed the door behind him and floated up to her room and fell back on the bed.

She loved the man, everything about him, even his bad moods she thought smiling. Megan put the thought out of her mind that Scott didn't want a relationship, she was still on a high from kissing him.

She closed her eyes and pictures of Scott ran through her mind, she was so happy she thought she might burst. Megan soon fell to sleep with a smile on her face.
