Chapter 18
Dwayne wakes up, he looks across from him and sitting in the armchair munching on the leftover pizza is Chris. He has a huge grin on his face.
"W..w..What time is it?" Dwayne mumbles, the light shining through the curtains stinging his eyes "and what the hell are you looking at jackass!"
"Good morning to you too, well aren't you a little ray of sunshine in the morning. It is 10.30am and I am not looking at anything, I am just sitting in my front room eating pizza, which might I add it very good" Chris says offering Dwayne a piece from the box, Dwayne pulls a face and shakes his head. "Suit yourself, all the more for me" Chris says as he walks off into the kitchen. There is a knock on the door.
"Dwayne, get that for me will you, I'm eating!" Chris calls from the kitchen
"I'm not dressed yet Chris, you get it!" Dwayne calls back as he gets up out of the bed, trying to shake off the crick in his back from sleeping badly.
"I'm sure whoever it is wont mind The Rock answering the door in his boxers, you'll probably make their day!" Chris says as he starts laughing, he walks back into the lounge as Dwayne goes to answer the door. He opens the door to find Stephanie standing there.
"Chris told me you'd be here" She says, "Are you going to let me in?" She asks, Dwayne shrugs his shoulders and walks back into the house leaving her at the door. Steph goes inside and closes the door behind her.
"Hi Steph" Chris waves to her "Watch out for him, he's Mr. Grumpy this morning" Chris says, Dwayne glares at him, he mouths 'sorry' to Dwayne before walking into his room leaving them alone.
"We have to talk D, I had to lie to you or you would have got hurt" Stephanie says walking over to him. Chris walks back in and takes his coat from the hook and picks up his keys.
"I'm going to go out for a while and leave you two to it, I'll be home tonight" Chris says as he heads to the door. "You are going to talk this out or I will kill you both, Stephanie explained to me Dwayne, hear her out" Chris walks out of the front door.
"I wouldn't just lie to you for no reason you know, I had to" Stephanie says, Dwayne sits down on the edge of the bed and lets her sit next to him. "Just please let me explain" She says.
"Go on then" Dwayne chokes, "do you want a cup of tea?" He asks glancing into her face.
"Yeah, that'd be nice" Stephanie says smiling at him. He gets up and walks into the kitchen, she knew he was avoiding talking to her. He comes back a while later and hands her a cup, he puts his down on the table and sits down again.
"I had to lie to you, when dad called me in to talk to me he told me that he was going to go ahead with that storyline whether we liked it or not. He said that if I didn't do the storyline and lie to you he would get Paul to hurt you. I had no choice, Paul is a psycho. He would do anything my dad told him to!" Stephanie says, she puts her cup down and takes his hand.
"And you really thought that I wouldn't care and everything would be fine" Dwayne says, he looks down at his hands, he was shaking like crazy. He looked up at Stephanie, before he realized what was happening he had his arms wrapped around her tightly hugging her.
"I'm so sorry I didn't m..." Stephanie says holding on to him and putting her arms around his neck. Dwayne puts his finger to her lips stopping her talking; he kisses her softly. "I love you," She says as he stops kissing her.
"I love you too, I've missed you so much" Dwayne says, he lays her down on the bed.
