They sat in the hall a minute and was stunned. Shane did not buy it for a second.
"Sooo… shall we get started on that storyline?" asked Stephanie.
"Yeah, I'm ready." Smiled Paul.
"Umm.. are you two sure you want to do this tonight?" asked Vince.
"Dad…of course. Just because it's PAUL doesn't mean I don't want to do it." Said Stephanie.
"Oh I know….I just….ok nevermind… let's get started." Said Vince as they followed him out into the ring. He watched them closer. As did everyone else. They were still shocked that after all these years that they were in the same building again. It brought back old times for Stacy AND Shane.
"Ok… so Stephanie, all you got to do is walk with him down to the ring, make sure to smile and act like a face, and then walk around to the left of the ring and stand there and watch them wrestle. Every once in awhile when he gets knocked out or pinned, you need to freak out and…" started Vince before Stephanie interrupted him.
"I got it Dad. Me and Paul can practice. I've watched this stuff a million times." Laughed Stephanie.
Everyone could tell how happy she was…EVEN though she was trying to hide it. Vince and everyone went back into his office and watched them on video as they practiced. Paul remembered that Vince did that so he wanted to quickly tell Stephanie before she started flirting and got them busted. Paul leaned in quickly and whispered in her ear. "Vince and everyone is watching us so be careful what you do." Stephanie just smiled and nodded.
"What was that??!!" asked Randy.
"Sooomebody is jeeealous." Laughed Stacy.
"Nooo…I just want to know why he leaned in and whispered into her ear. That isn't good." Said Randy as he got up and started pacing.
"Calm down Randy, she isn't allowed to date the wrestlers, remember?" said Vince. "Plus he supposedly has a girlfriend." Said Shane. Randy then sat back down and watched.
"Ok so let's start at the entrance." Smiled Paul.
They walked down the entrance and Paul kind of kept his eye on her.
"Ok… very nice. You're a natural." Smiled Paul.
"Of course I am… its in my blood." Laughed Stephanie.
"True." Laughed Paul.
So they went to the ring and Paul practiced his match with Chris Jericho. Paul kept his eye on her and noticed she was definitely a natural. He felt so blessed to be in her life again. He thanked God that moment for bringing her back into his life…and hopefully to stay this time. Deep down he knew his ever ever after was coming.
"Alright that's a wrap!!" yelled one of the trainers. "Nice job Steph, you're a natural."
"Thank you!" she smiled.
"You definitely are." Smiled Paul. "Sooo… what are you going to do all afternoon?"
"Nothing I guess." Laughed Stephanie.
"You ever done any actual wrestling moves?" asked Paul.
"Nope." Said Stephanie.
"You want to try some?" asked Paul.
"YES!!!" said Stephanie all excited.
"Ok come on in the ring." Smiled Paul.
"WHAT'S he doing!!" yelled Vince.
"Calm down Dad, he is a professional. He isn't going to let anything happen to her." Said Shane. Vince then calmed down and watched.
"So are you ever going to wrestle?" asked Paul.
"I don't know. I've never spoken about it to dad. We just planned on having me ON camera." Said Stephanie.
Paul figured he could touch Stephanie by doing some wrestling moves on her and that way Vince wouldn't suspect anything and they could still be physical.
"Ok let's try a RKO." said Paul. "It's a VERY popular finisher." Said Paul.
"Ok…just don't hurt me." laughed Stephanie. "My dad would kill you."
"DAMN straight!" yelled Vince as he was watching.
"I would never let anything happen to you." Laughed Paul. "and your right, your dad would kill me." he laughed.
So he did the move on her and Vince freaked out when he saw it. It looked brutal.
"OMG!!!" yelled Vince.
"DAD, she's ok…" laughed Shane.
"WOW! That was fun." Laughed Stephanie as she loved touching him.
"Now let's try a pedigree." Said Paul.
"Your finisher?" smiled Stephanie knowing that she would LOOVE to be put in that move by him.
"Yep!" smiled Paul.
"THAT'S not going to happen!!" said Vince as he rushed out there. Paul was JUST about to put her in the move until Vince grabbed a mic.
"Good job guys…come on back, I need to speak with you." Vince said.
"Oooh ok. Coming…" said Stephanie as they got out of the ring and walked up the ramp.
When Vince wasn't looking she whispered in his ear… "maybe you can do the pedigree on me another time." She said as she smiled and winked at him.
Later that day it was almost time for their match.
"Uhhh Stephanie, are you almost done with hair and make-up, we got to get ready." Said Paul.
Stephanie then walked out and Paul's jaw dropped. He couldn't BELIEVE how gorgeous she looked.
"I'm ready." She smiled.
"You..you…look….amazing." said Paul as Shane was standing there.
"Just make sure your jaw goes back UP before Vince see's it." Laughed Shane.
"Oh I…I didn't…I mean…" said Paul as he couldn't get the words out.
They both looked at him funny.
Stephanie started laughing. "This is Shane were talking to…not dad."
"Yeah…right" said Paul as he looked over at Shane.
"You two can't fool me…I know you two are in love still." Laughed Shane.
Paul kind of looked at him like he would tell.
"Don't worry bro…I wont say anything." Smiled Shane.
"Thanks man" smiled Paul as he shook his hand.
Just then Vince walked up.
"Alright, you guys ready?" asked Vince.
"Yep!" said Stephanie.
So Vince walked them to the entrance. "Good luck."
So they stood there at the entrance waiting for his theme song.
"Alright good luck Steph…" smiled Paul as he touched her hand. Vince happened to see it but didn't say anything.
They went out there and everyone watched them on screen. Paul won his watch and everyone instantly loved Stephanie. They were a success. Minutes later they came back in the curtain. Everyone told them what a great job they did. So after the show they all met up in Vince's office.
"Alright everyone… so we are all going to be flying to LA for the weekend for a show. We are all taking a the private family plane over there." Said Vince.
"Ummm… can Paul go?" asked Stephanie as she knew she was kind of in over her head.
"Uhhhh.." started Vince
"I think that's a great idea. You three should talk more about your storylines." Said Shane.
"Yeah! Come on dad… please?" asked Stephanie trying not to look to suspicious.
"I guess so." Said Vince. He figured he could keep an eye on them and see what's REALLY going on.
"Are you sure?" asked Paul.
"Yeah it's fine. Just stick around here until we leave." Said Vince.
"Alright…thanks." Smiled Paul as he was excited to not only be going WITH Steph but none of the wrestlers ever got to fly in the private plane except for the ones getting paid over 1,000,000 a year.
So later that night they boarded the plane.
Randy made sure he was RIGHT beside Stephanie when they board so he could sit next to her. He was very jealous of Paul. Shane, Paul, and Stacy sat next to each other while Linda and Shane were sitting across the seat from Stephanie and Randy. A few hours had passed and it was about 3am. Stephanie then got a hell of an idea. She wanted Paul so bad so she figured she make an excuse to go to the bathroom… and she was going to signal to Paul to go in the backroom and pretend to go to sleep.
When no one was looking except Paul, Stephanie signaled for him to go to the back room to sleep. He knew she wanted to talk to him or something so he went along with it.
"Well guys….I got to hit the sack. I am exhausted." Said Paul.
"Alright Paul, you can take the room in the very back." Said Vince.
"Alright. Good night guys!" smiled Paul as he headed for the back.
Stephanie waited just a few minutes. She then got up.
"Where you going?" asked Vince.
"I got to use the bathroom." Said Stephanie. "I'll be right back."
So she headed to the bathroom, which was right next to the back bedroom. When no one was in sight she signaled for Paul to come in. He rushed in there and they closed and locked the door.
"We have to be really quiet so we don't get caught." Smiled Stephanie.
"What do you have in mind?" smiled Paul.
Stephanie pulled him in closer. And started kissing his soft luscious lips.
"Have you ever been a part of the mile high club?" giggled Stephanie.
"Are you serious??? You wanna???" asked Paul as he kind of giggled.
"Yeah but it has to be a quicky." laughed Stephanie.
So she took off his shirt and he unbuttoned hers. Their hearts were pounding. They spent about 10 minutes in the bathroom when suddenly Randy knocked on the door. He had went to peak in the back bedroom cause he had a suspicion that Paul was in the bathroom with her. Once he didn't see him in there he freaked but knew he couldn't say anything there because her family was there.
"Steph, you alright in there?" asked Randy.
"Oooh… yeah… umm.. I'll be out in a minute." Said Stephanie sounding as if she was fully pleasured.
Randy cringed. He KNEW what they were doing in there, and he couldn't say anything right then. It almost killed him.
"Alright…. Well… I'll be in bed when you get out..." said Randy as he wanted to punch Paul right in the face. How dare he bang Stephanie IN the bathroom of their family's plane KNOWING that she was dating Randy. What made it worse was Stephanie enjoyed ever second of it. He knew he was losing her and he just wasn't going to let that happen.
"You stay in here for a few seconds until I leave." Said Stephanie. "I'll see you in the morning" she smiled as she leaned in and kissed him goodnight. "I love you."
It kind of took Paul by surprise.
"I love you too." He said. "No screwing Randy" he joked.
Stephanie smiled and rolled her eyes. "Oh….here's my number. Txt me sometime."
She then walked out and went into their private bedroom that was next to Paul's. A few minutes later Paul went back to his room. He laid down on his bed and looked up at the ceiling. He felt so… perfect. Everything once again felt perfect. He hadn't felt that way since the last day he saw Stephanie. She made him complete. Stephanie felt the same way. A few minutes later Paul could overhear them talking. The walls were pretty thin so he could hear everything.
"What took you so long?" asked Randy.
"I just had to brush my teeth and wash my face… stuff like that." smiled Stephanie.
"Oh I see." Said Randy. "So your STILL sleeping with that bear, even knowing that Paul has a girlfriend?" asked Randy as he saw her squeeze it tight and smile.
Paul remembered the teddy bear and was SHOCKED to hear she STILL slept with it. He thought for sure she tossed it out by now.
"Well Randy…even though we aren't together this bear is still special to me. I am attached." She said.
"I see." Said Randy as he looked kind of frustrated.
"Are you jealous of Paul?" joked Stephanie.
*JEALOUS, he thought, you just banged him in the bathroom*.
"No! But I have every right to be. You sleep with his bear, you still have his locket, you talk about him non-stop, your face lights up when he's around, and you dream of him every night." said Randy.
Stephanie just sat there and looked down.
"Have you slept with him?" asked Randy.
"WHAT? No…of course not." Said Stephanie as she looked down. "Just back when I was 17."
Randy was rather disappointed that she had lied to his face, but then again he knew she would lie about it.
"I don't want you to be alone with him, understand?" asked Randy.
Stephanie looked up at him kind of weird.
"Randy, we are in a storyline together." Said Stephanie. "There will be some times we are alone to work on our lines."
"That's fine… but I don't want you in a room with him alone." Demanded Randy.
"Well…. Someone is COMPLETELY jealous." Said Stephanie as she turned the other way to lay down on the bed.
"Stephanie…I mean it. I am not going to lose you to him." Said Randy as he turned her over.
"Ok…nothing is going to happen. Calm down." Said Stephanie as she looked at him kind of concerned.
They then laid down to go to sleep. Paul had heard and already knew he was a bit controlling and he didn't like it. He knew Stephanie was naïve and innocent and would take it.
The next morning they arrived in LA. Randy and Paul didn't say a word to each other the whole day that they were promoting. Stephanie felt kind of awkward being around Paul with Randy there. She knew how jealous he was of him. The day finally went by and they all were about to leave.
"Alright everyone load back into the plane and we'll head home for the week." Said Vince.
"Uhhh… I'm actually going to Orlando…"said Paul.
"Why?" asked Stephanie before Vince could say anything.
"Well that's where my home is." Smiled Paul.
"You live in Orlando? No wonder I couldn't find you." Laughed Stephanie. "Why did you move there?"
"Well I moved there years ago to train at the FCW in Orlando. Now that I made it to WWE I guess I don't have to live way down in Florida. I've been thinking of moving." Said Paul.
"…move where?" asked Stephanie looking at him kind of concerned.
"Uhh…I don't know… maybe closer to my parents in Connecticut." Said Paul.
Stephanie smiled. "Oh."
"Well we can fly you over there, not a problem." Said Vince.
"Are you sure?" asked Paul.
"Yeah… it's only about an hour difference." Said Vince.
"Ok great. Thank you very much!" smiled Paul.
Everyone went and got into the plane and they took off to Orlando. Stephanie and Paul got to taking on the way there and were playing cards.
"So when are you going to look for a home?" asked Stephanie.
"Uhh well…I guess I need to go ahead and do that. I just got to find out how much money I have to spend for hotels for a week or so….until I can find one. I don't think I have all that extra money for expenses right this second.
"Oh well… you can always stay in our guest house…I mean if it's only going to be a week or so….I'm sure dad would have no problem with that." said Stephanie as she looked at Vince.
"I'm ok with it." Said Vince.
"Really? That would be VERY helpful." Said Paul.
"Yeah, no problem." Said Vince. "…you want to go ahead and fly down with us to Connecticut for this week?"
"…I would love to…only I don't have any clothes…just my wrestling gear in my bag." Said Paul.
Stephanie quickly spoke up. "Well…you could borrow some of Randy's…ya'll about the same size…or I could take you shopping….or I mean you can go shopping…I'll just give you some money." she said as everyone looked at her kind of funny.
"WHAT?...just trying to help the man out." said Stephanie as she looked at everyone like they were nuts.
"Well I wouldn't ask you to do that…" said Paul.
"Actually I can go ahead and pay you early this week I guess… you just can't tell anyone I did that." laughed Vince.
"Ok great! As long as that's ok." Smiled Paul.
"Yeah, no problem. I can go ahead and give you the 10,000 now and you'll be good to go until the end of the month." Said Vince.
"That would be grrreat. Thanks so much, Vince!" said Paul.
"No problem." Said Vince. "So you want to go ahead and fly with us to Connecticut?"
"Yeah…I guess so." Smiled Paul.
Stephanie smiled and was happy he was going to be staying with them a week. She was feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
