After Josh had made love to Isabelle for several hours he knew that they really needed to talk and set some rules and boundaries. Isabelle wasn't sure what she was feeling, but she knew that she had to protect her only family no matter how pissed off he made her for putting her in this position.
She had gone into the large en suite bathroom and took a shower and dressed in a pair of black yoga pants and a blue tank top. It was still technically her day off so she wanted to be comfortable. Pulling her hair into a bun she went back into the bedroom. Josh had dressed in a pair of basketball shorts. Nothing else.
"So where are we first of all?" Isabelle asked.
"Well I thought that we would live in the city where I grew up with my brother. There is lots of very happy memories here. Mom lives her, Jon moved home with his wife so I thought to myself why not move home also." said Josh.
"Okay lets lay down the rules. The WWE locker room is full of gossip so I know that you were moving on with some guy you met in Texas. I guess your dad caught you in a compromising position and pulled out his twelve gave. Well first of all whatever you had in Texas ends now. Second of all since we are on two different rosters and rotations I need to know your every move. Every time you are invited out with the girls I wanna know about it. Oh I also want you to travel with someone else other than Joe and Colby. Sorry, but I don't trust either of them, even if Joe is my cousin. You tell no one about the real story behind the relationship. Just that you decided to move on and leave Texas." he went on.
"So basically you have to know what I'm doing at all times. Even if I'm the toilet taking a shit." Isabelle said, the Austin attitude coming out.
Josh just chuckled. He loved how fiery his now fiance and soon to be wife was. It was a major turn on. "Now you are being a little extreme don't you think?"
"More like using me to get back at my father over something I had no idea about and that wasn't my fucking fault to begin with." Isabelle snapped.
"Claws in sweetheart. I do love you. We can make this work. I know we can." Josh said leaning in and kissing her again.
"So I guess when I'm off again I'll head to Texas and move what little I have out of the ranch and move everything here. Correct?" Isabelle asked. She didn't feel like fighting him anymore. It was like she has lost it all and all she had left was her career and she decided that in order to save her dad's reputation that she would just play ball with Josh and throw everything into her career.
She was feeling regret. She could have really moved on and who knows maybe those few times in Texas could have became more. What started out as a Texas romance between two people going through alot could have escalated and and they could have had a real shot. It just wasn't in the cards due to the sins of her father that had happened before she even knew he was her father. Talk about some fucked up irony.
She was back on the road the following Friday for the house shows. She was in Vince' ear once again throwing out suggestions. Shane and Stephanie were very amused with the way Steve Austin's daughter has been giving him a lot of grief and trying to tell him how to better his product.
"So how are you doing and don't even get started on business again. Your dad and I are old friends. Yes we put one another through hell over the years, but we formed a friendship and a bond. He said you never went to Texas for your off days and it's doubtful you were at lover boy's place since I know what's going on with him. Steve tells me everything." said Vince.
"I met someone and we are together and I'm moving out of Texas and to his hometown." said Isabelle.
"What about the one you had relations in Texas with?" Vince asked.
"Okay Vinny Mac why are you getting into my personal outside of work business? All we had in Texas was fun. I'm grieving, he's going through a divorce. We decided to turn to one another for companionship and fun. That's all it was!" Isabelle was lying to herself. She flt something more and she knew he did too. Timing was just off and in a way she was doing the same thing her dad did to put her in the predicament she was already in.
"Izzy." Vince began.
"Dad it's her business so stay out of it. If she wants to move on and jump into another relationship with whoever she met it's her business. As long as it doesn't interfere with her work we should but out!" Stephanie said.
"Thanks Stephanie. I'm glad someone is on my side." said Isabelle.
"You lost this argument dad. Now lets get back to business." said Shane.
Vince got up and stormed out. Shane, Stephanie and Isabelle looked at one another and laughed. It seemed like the older that he got the bigger pain in the ass and bullhead he became.
Josh was in a great mood while he was touring on Smackdown. He finally had the woman of his dreams. Everyone noticed a skip in his step. Jon especially.
"So give it up. Something is going on. What put a spring in your step and something has you in the best mood I've seen you in since I cannot remember when." his twin brother said.
"Well I'm engaged. I have the woman of my dreams. I bought us a house where we grew up not far from you and Trin. I am so happy. She is my dream and I'm so lucky to have her." said Josh as they were called for their match. "Lets go kick some ass!"
