Chapter Eleven: If it's Fate, It's Fate
~*~*~
"What? You don't enjoy my cooking?" Stephanie pouted. Chris grinned. "I do." Stephanie frowned at his plate. "Then why aren't you eating any?" Chris sighed to himself. "I am not a big snails fan, is all."
Stephanie shrugged. "Okay then." She spooned the snails off of his plate and put them on her own. She wrapped the plate in plastic baggage. "My family likes snails. When I see Shane, I'll give them to him."
Chris turned green.
"Look, Chris," Stephanie frowned. Chris stood up. "I know what you're going to say. It's not going to work out, blah, blah, blah… Let's just be friends." Stephanie shook her head. "I don't know if we can even be friends…This is so…"
Chris cocked his head thoughtfully. "Awkward?"
"Exactly." Stephanie groaned. "I don't if we could do this." Chris nodded. "Yeah, I understand. What about your reputation, MY reputation…Geez, we were stupid to even try this."
Stephanie giggled. "You never really do know who's on the end of that instant message." Chris nodded and extended his hand. Stephanie shook it. "It was a pleasure doing business with you." He grinned.
"So now we can go back to hating each other?" Stephanie joked.
"I'll get the writers to tone down on the slut jokes," Chris grinned.
They giggled.

Stephanie cleaned up the remains of the food that she and Chris pigged out on. Sighing, she reminded herself to hire the maid back that she fired. From the corner of her eye, she spotted the laptop computer.
"No, Stephanie." She told herself, putting a cup in the sink. "Oh, hell." She couldn't resist. "I'll change my screen name."
Pondering a good screen name, she decided on Bitch4Life. She grinned.

Chris sighed and tapped his fingers on his keyboard. He needed to come up with a new screen name. BREAKDOWNDAWALL1 reminded him of Stephanie. "Heh," He laughed as he thought of one.
"AyatollMole5." He had no idea where the mole and the 5 came from, but it looked pretty cool. He went into a WWF chat room.
Bitch4Life: Anyone want 2 chat?
Chris smiled. He clicked on an instant message.
AyatollMole5: Hi
Bitch4Life: Hey
AyatollMole5: What's ^?
Bitch4Life: Oh, nothing. I just got out of a relationship.
AyatollMole5: So did I.
