Chapter 2
Author's Note: I don't own any of the WWE characters…Vince McMahon and the McMahon family does. I only own the original characters. I would also like to thank ASHLEYBABE86 and those who are following and making my story a favorite for their support. This is the first time I have written a fan fiction story in 13 years and I am a bit rusty. I will try to update as regularly as I can as I have a busy work and school schedule.
In the last chapter, Paul tearfully discusses with Steve his heartbreak over being cruelly dumped and ridiculed about being celibate by his girlfriend, when Steve reveals a surprise of his own…
Flashback
"Wait a minute", Steve says looking at Paul in utter surprise, "you mean to tell me that you ain't getting laid until you get married?"
"You're damn right, you wanna make somethin' outta of it too?!" Paul snapped his reddened eyes blazing with anger and handsome but tear stained face contorted in furious anger.
"Hey man don't get your underwear in a bunch. I'm just really surprised that you've decided to become celibate. I thought after Stephanie you would bang anything in a skirt". Steve says holding his hands up defensively. "But you know something, I think it's great and I'm actually relieved…"
"Why?" Paul asks looking at Steve suspiciously.
"Because..." Steve says softly holding his head down, "I'm saving myself for bride to be too".
End of Flashback
"What did you just say Steve?" Paul asks while cleaning his ears out not believing what he just heard.
"Hey you heard me ya' silly bastard! Steve yells, his southern accent becoming more pronounced as he becomes annoyed. "I'm saving myself for the woman of my dreams who I plan to make my wife…now ya' wanna make somethin' outta of it ya' long eared jackass?!"
"I'm just surprised" says Paul laughing. "I mean you're the Texas rattlesnake, the finger gesturing, beer swilling, tough guy redneck. I would have never guessed that YOU would wanna be celibate".
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" says Steve getting more defensive. "Are you sayin' that I don't wanna do the right thing and wait before having sex?"WHAT?" "Is that what you're sayin'?" "WHAT?!"
"Well...no…I…"Paul says.
"SHUT UP!" yells Steve.
"I'm proud of you man, you don't know how much better I feel knowing that I am not alone in this" Paul said. "I just don't get it, why don't some women want men who wanna wait until the wedding night to get laid?"
"I don't get it either man" says Steve. "I mean I thought women would be glad that they were pressured to "put out". Steve uses his fingers in air quotes to emphasize his point.
Paul finished his ice cream with a smile. Steve always knew how to make him feel better. In all the years they've known each other they have always been able to lean on each other for support. When Paul found out that Stephanie was cheating on him, Steve, Mark, Glenn, Dwayne and Dave were all there to provide moral support. In front of the guys, Paul kept his "game" face on but behind closed doors, Paul cried himself to sleep every night for almost a month. A month afterwards, Paul subsequently filed for divorce. Friends were concerned that the McMahons would blackball him for divorcing Stephanie, but after Paul threaten to expose the deep dark secrets of the McMahon family and WWE to the media, he was not only given a handsome divorce settlement but also lifetime job security with the WWE as an executive and part-time ring performer. But now, here was Steve dropping a bombshell on him stating that he was waiting until he married to engage in lovemaking. Steve had his own share of heartbreak, with the early retirement due to a neck injury from being a WWE superstar to the much publicized divorce from Debra, Paul provided the same moral support that Steve had given him and would continue to do so, as Paul knew that Steve had shed as many tears and endured as much heartbreak and disappointment as he had. Paul had just hoped that he would not grow old a lonely and unloved man just because he wanted to share the ultimate gift with the woman he loved within the confines of holy matrimony.
