Chapter 11

Shane passed the "Welcome to Massachusetts" sign and a smile came across his face. He had left his house about 3 hours ago and was surprised he was actually doing this. People think he was a pretty outgoing spontaneous person based on all the crazy stuff he pulled in the ring but the truth was Shane was a pretty reserved person and never took crazy risks, especially with his personal life. It was just about 8 o'clock at night and he knew that Capri was going to be at work for the rest of the night so he had decided to head straight there and surprise her. He didn't exactly remember how to get there so he searched it on his GPS and was happy it came right up. Pulling into the parking lot, his heart was beating so fast. He hoped she would be happy to see him and not think he was some crazy stalker. He took a deep breath, opened the car door, and stepped out.

It was a pretty slow night for a Tuesday and Capri was standing at the end of the bar talking to a couple regulars that stopped in every night around this time. They were old friends of her dad's and she had known them since she was a little girl. She heard someone make their way to the bar and sit down and was in absolute shock when she turned around.

"Shane! What the hell are you doing here?" she just couldn't contain her excitement. When they had chatted earlier he said he was home in Connecticut. Shane was so excited to see her and happy that she looked like she felt the same to see him. "Well, I think I've been working too hard and decided to take a little time off." He grinned ear to ear. Capri came out from behind the bar and gave him a hug. "All the money you have McMahon, pretty sure there are a million other places to vacation that here." Capri answered then at once regretted it. She didn't want to sound like she wasn't happy to see him; she defiantly made a habit of pushing guys away especially since her divorce. "True" Shane responded "But there is only one place with the most beautiful bartender and the most kick ass grilled cheese that I could think of." Capri blushed at this and turned to try to hide her face until she could get her composure back. "So how long are you in town for?" she asked him. "Well, that depends, what are you doing tomorrow?" Shane asked Capri taking a step closer to her. "Just so happens, I finally have a whole day off and am free as a bird." " I was hoping you would say that! You are mine for the day tomorrow." Shane said with that wink that made Capri go weak at the knees. All she could do was smile.

Shane decided that he didn't want to hang around all night. He had a quick drink but then decided to go because he didn't want to seem desperate. Even though he had to admit to himself, he kind of was when it came to this chick. There was something so special about her that was really drawing him in. However he thought best course of action was to play a little mysterious as well. Even though Capri was pestering him non stop about what they would be doing tomorrow, he was not giving even a single hint. He had a great surprise planned and didn't want to spoil it. He told Capri to text him his address and he would pick her up at 11 the next morning and just as quickly has Shane McMahon entered, Shane McMahon exited. Capri just stood there for a minute completely shocked. Shane McMahon literally just drove 3 hours to come see her and is taking her on some super secretive date in the morning. "What the fuck!?" She called one of the other bartenders over and asked them to take over for a little bit while she went into the office to make a phone call. Meanwhile Shane was back in his car driving to the hotel, pretty damn proud of himself. 'That was pretty smooth' he thought.

"JoJo, call me back! This is important, I'm at work! Hurry!" Capri hung up the phone in the office after leaving her best friend Joanna aka JoJo a pretty frantic voicemail. Not 2 minutes later the phone to the office rang and she immediately picked it up answering with the professional greeting, her father forced them all to use but before she could even finish she was interrupted by her one and only bestie, JoJo to the rescue as usual. "Ri! What's wrong?! Is everything okay? You sounded freaked out! What's up?" Capri started her story to JoJo. She hadn't had to time to call her at all today and fill her in on meeting Shane the night before or him calling her this morning so all of this was brand new information. "What a minute!" JoJo interupped yet again. "Shane who? This is a famous guy? Never heard of him, how famous are we talking cuz I've never heard of him." Capri instantly rolled her eyes. "Shane McMahon, he's big in professional wrestling, you know the WWE. Him and his family are like bizzlionaires Jo!" JoJo reached for her laptop next to her bed and stated googling as her bestie continued her rant. "Holy fuck! If this is the same guy, he's hot as fuck!" JoJo interrupted for the third time now. "So let me get this straight, he drove back to Connecticut this morning just to drive back here tonight so he can take you on a date in which you have no clue where you are going or doing?" "That would be correct ma'am." Capri answered realizing how crazy this whole thing sounded. "Well then" JoJo responded "I have one question. What are you gonna wear?!" Capri's heart dropped, she hadn't even thought about that. She had no idea where they were going, how was she supposed to know what to wear? "I have no flipping clue. What are you doing tomorrow morning? Nevermind, I need you at my house super early, I'm gonna need your help!"

Capri reached for her cell phone that she left in the desk drawer earlier. If there was one thing her father hated more in this world, it was phones behind the bar so she liked to set an example for the younger staff and leave hers out of sight. She went to her text messages and began to type.

Capri: 14 East Brook Road. But exactly how am I supposed to know what to wear if you won't tell me where we are going? ;-)

She was surprised when she got a response almost instantly

Shane: Keep it causal, not taking you ballroom dancing or anything lol!

Capri: You are so frustrating! LOL. Can't you just give me a little hint?!

Shane: No hints! Checking into my hotel. See you in the morning. Sleep tight ;-)

Capri: Goodnight McMahon xo

Shane couldn't help smile at that last text as he made his way to the front desk to check in.
