Chapter 25
"Linda can I talk to you in the kitchen for a minute?" Vince says walking off, Linda looks at Steph and Dwayne and gives them a weak smile before following him.
"I don't think he's too pleased with the idea" Stephanie says, she looks over to Dwayne with tears in her eyes. Dwayne nods his head and outs his arms around her letting her put her head on his shoulder as she starts crying. They hear the front door slam and a car start up outside; Linda walks back into the lounge and sits down with them.
"Your father said he had to meeting to go to," Linda says as Steph looks up wiping her eyes. "It'll be fine, it's just a bit of a shock for him. You're his only little girl and he's bound to be concerned for you, this is a big step you two are taking..Can I see the ring? I've been expecting this ever since Dwayne rang me from the airport" Linda says as Steph holds out her hand to show her the ring.
"Maybe I should talk to him." Dwayne says looking towards the front door where Vince had just made his exit.
"I think it would make it worse, he just needs some time to swallow his pride and get over the fact you two are together and there isn't anything he can do" Linda says "I want you two to stay with us tonight, it's getting late and you don't need the fuss of going to a hotel. We can sort this out tomorrow. I'll go make dinner," Linda says before walking off back into the kitchen.
"Wow you mean the McMahon's don't have an army of servants to make the dinner for them?" Dwayne laughs after Linda has left the room.
"No of course not, we may be rich but we're not like that. Yeah we have cleaners but that's it" Stephanie says laughing too.
The next morning Dwayne opens his eyes and looks over to where Stephanie should be but she's not, he rubs his eyes and blinks trying to get his eyes to focus in the early light. Dwayne looks at his watch; it was only 3am. He lays back in bed and pulls the duvet up to his chin, just as he's about to fall asleep again Steph runs into the room and jumps back into the bed.
"Steph, you know I love you but what the hell are you doing, it's 3 in the morning!" Dwayne says rolling over onto his side to face her, he props himself up on his elbows and looks at her.
"Sorry, I couldn't sleep" Stephanie says innocently putting her arm around him.
"So you thought you'd wake the whole house up" Dwayne pulls her closer to him and lies back as she lies on top of him.
"I wont wake the whole house up, just you. My parents room is all the way across the other side of the house" Steph leans down and kisses him.
"Oh really.sooo they wouldn't hear you screaming my name then" Dwayne laughs; he flips her over onto her back and starts tickling her making her squeal.
"DWAYNE, hahaha stop! Please Dwayne!" Stephanie shouts as he continues to tickle her. He stops and looks down at her and grins.
"I told you I could make you scream my name" Dwayne laughs before he leans down and they start kissing each other.
