Chapter 11
Stephanie stands up, everyone has gone quiet again, she walks out of the room slamming the door behind her. She finds Dwayne sitting on the floor leaning against the wall. She crouches down in front of him and takes his hands in hers.
"It'll be ok, it's only a storyline D, I'm still with you," She says squeezing his hand and putting her hand up to his face. Dwayne doesn't say anything he just stares down at the floor in silence.
"Don't you trust me or something?" Stephanie says as he looks up into her face.
"I do trust you, it's not that. I don't want him anywhere near you, I don't care that it's just a storyline it's still making it out like he's won. Your dad did this on purpose," Dwayne says as Stephanie sits back against him and he wraps his arms around her holding her tightly. Vince walks out of the room after he has called for a break in the meeting. Stephanie stands up and pulls Dwayne up with her, as Vince approaches them Steph looks at Dwayne. His fists clenching and un-clenching she knows Dwayne will confront Vince. She takes his hands in an attempt to calm him down.
"Are you two going to be joining us for the meeting, we have a lot to discus what with this huge storyline starting tonight" Vince says as he looks at Dwayne.
"There wont be any big storyline starting tonight!" Dwayne growls through gritted teeth, resisting the urge to loose his cool with Vince and knock his boss clean off his feet.
"Oh and why's that Dwayne? Last time I looked I was the boss of this company not you" Vince says as he walks up to Dwayne and looks him straight in the eyes "Do you have a problem with it?" Vince asks in a mocking tone, Dwayne goes to say something back but Stephanie steps in between them.
"No he has no problem with it, we'll be there in a minute daddy" Stephanie says, Vince nods his head and walks back into the meeting room. Steph turns to Dwayne and pushes him up against the wall and grabs his shoulders.
"I am not letting you ruin this Dwayne, if you fall out with my dad he'll never leave us alone. Everything is going great with us and I'm not going to let anything stop that! Not even you and your stupid jealousy!" Stephanie says starting to get angry, Dwayne looks at her before walking off down the hallway to his lockeroom, she hears the door slam. Stephanie cant believe how immature and selfish Dwayne is acting, she didn't want to do the storyline with Paul but if it meant she'd get to stay with Dwayne she'd do it. Steph walks back into the room and takes her seat.
"Is Mr. Johnson not going to be joining us this morning?" Vince says as he looks over at Paul who has a smug look on his face.
"He's not feeling too well, he'll be ok for this evening" Stephanie says trying not to look Paul in the eyes.
"Oh hope it's nothing serious" Paul chimes in putting on a false concern
"No, nothing he wont get over" Stephanie says "Now are we going to get this meeting done or not?" She says wanting to finish as soon as she can so she can go and find Dwayne.
Vince runs through the show that evening, explaining to everyone all the slots, times and promos that will take place. He starts talking about his great new storyline about getting Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and HHH back together that evening in the hopes to raise the ratings. Stephanie sits in silence listening to her father bark out the orders, telling her everything that she is to do that evening. Declare her love for HHH. Dwayne stands in the guy's lockeroom, his head and hands pressed against the wall. Surely if she really did love him she'd not do the storyline but maybe she didn't love him, maybe she did want Paul back and this was just an easy way so she wouldn't have to tell him. Dwayne shakes his head trying to get rid of these thoughts running through his head, he slumps down to the floor and brings his knees up close to him. He puts his head in his hands, tears or anger and sadness rolling down his cheeks. He thought he was stronger than this, Stephanie meant everything to him and it hurt him so much to know that he could loose her to Paul.
