Chapter 24
Stephanie lays awake in bed, she can't sleep. She lifts her hand up and looks at her ring in what little light there is. It wasn't too soon was it? What would everyone say? What would her dad say? Her heart was racing, she had never been this scared before, she knew she had made the right decision but getting married was a scary thought and something that up until that evening had seemed years away. Her not being able to sleep and her moving around had woken Dwayne up; he wraps his arms around her and kisses her softly on the neck.
"Are you alright?" He whispers holding her tightly in his arms, making her feel safe.
"Yeah, much better now. Are we going to be flying out tomorrow?" she replies resting in his tight hug.
"Yeah, we can fly out tomorrow. Don't worry about all that now," Dwayne says, he nods her head before falling asleep.
The next day Dwayne and Stephanie arrive after the flight into Greenwich home of the McMahon's. Vince and Linda have sent a limo to pick them up from the airport and drive them to the house.
"I'm really nervous" Stephanie says as she rolls her ring around in her fingertips "What if they don't agree, dad will make it even worse for us than it already is" She says looking out of the window.
"Don't worry about it, it's me that should be worried! Your mum likes me right?" Dwayne says squeezing her hand.
"Yeah she loves you, she hated Paul" Stephanie says smiling at him
"I don't blame her! as long as I have you and her on my side we'll be fine, trust me" Dwayne says, they pull up at the house and get out. Vince and Linda are waiting for them on the front porch.
"Hey Sweetie, I'm glad you decided to come and visit us at last! And you brought Dwayne!" Linda says running over to them both and hugging them.
"Oh hurray" Vince mutters under his breath as they walk inside, Linda elbows him hard in the stomach as she walks past him.
"Be nice!" she hisses before showing them into the lounge.
They all sit down, Vince goes and gets them some drinks and comes back in to join them.
"Before you say anything mum, dad we have something to tell you" Stephanie says as her dad sits down with his drink in the armchair.
"Oh, well what is it?" Linda says going and sitting next to Dwayne and Steph on the couch.
"Well err.. Dwayne asked me to marry him last night, we're going to get married" Stephanie says as she glances at her dad waiting for him to say something. She knew he hated Dwayne with a passion; he liked Paul. He said that Paul was sensible and would go far, Dwayne would too and she knew it. He had already done it all, made movies, songs, books and he was the most popular wrestler there was! What was Vince going to say now? Dwayne looks at Steph and then back at Vince he still hadn't said anything. Vince stands up and goes to speak.
