Chapter 6
"So you can't even look at me now?" Chris mumbles "So..Back with Hunter huh, he must be very happy" Chris mutters folding his arms "Steph talk to me!" Chris says starting to get angry, he grabs another chair and drags it towards hers and sits down. "Talk to me please.."
"I don't mean to hurt you Chris.." Stephanie says looking up at him "I'm not back with Hunter and I never will be..He doesn't love me. Your right he does treat me badly and I don't love him, him and Shawn came over and sat with me this morning when I was waiting for you" Steph sobs "I found your note last night and waited for you this morning so I could see you. Hunter saw me and thought he'd come and sit with me"
"Can you please just answer me one single question?" Chris asks putting his hands on the arms of her chair almost as if stopping her from running away, Steph looks him in the eyes and nods her head "What cant you do, I'm not asking you to do anything you don't want to and you know that"
"I can't do this to you, if Hunter finds out he'll be after you, if my dad finds out he'll be after you. I cant just get you into trouble no matter how much I love you, I don't want to cause any trouble with your job and being with you might do that" Stephanie says taking his hands in hers and letting her finger tips trace over his open palms "I love you"
"I love you too, why can't we just not tell anyone. We were fine weren't we? Only Christian knew and he isn't going to say anything to anyone," Chris says trying to stop his tone of voice sounding like he was begging her "Marry me then" Chris laughs. "No I wont marry you, your such an idiot" Stephanie smiles feeling the whole tension lifting between them "I cant believe you just said that when we are trying to have a serious conversation here" she laughs standing up and dragging him towards the stairs.
"Who said I wasn't being serious, and where are we going?" Chris asks as she pulls him up the stairs "You do know I had to run down these damn things last night to get to you, why can't we just take the elevator?" Chris moans dragging his feet.
"Because I don't trust myself to be in an elevator with you and manage to keep my hands off of you" Steph replies turning round and grinning at him "and we're going up to the tenth floor to the lounge so we don't have to worry about anyone seeing us..unless you just want to sit on the cold steps" She takes both his hands and carries on dragging him up the stairs "Oh yeah and about your proposal of marriage..I'll think about it"
"Steph..Stephanie! Wait up I wanna talk to you!" Hunter shouts running up the stairs, Steph pushes Chris up the rest of the stairs in front of them as he goes around the corner and hides so he's not seen "Hey, I just wanted to talk to you" Hunter says smiling at her and leaning against the hand rails. "Maybe you could meet me later and we could go for lunch or something?" Chris laughs quietly to himself when he sees Stephanie shove the hand away that Hunter had placed on her arm "I'll take that as a no then" Hunter mutters.
"Take that as whatever you want to, it's very nice of you to ask and all but I'm kind of busy today and to tell you the honest truth. I don't really want to be seen having lunch with you" Steph says smiling sweetly at him. Chris had to stop himself yelling at Hunter when he grabbed Steph's arm and looked at her threateningly "Get off of me, go find someone else to take to lunch and use"
"Hey Hunter! Wanna finish what we started earlier!?" Chris yells jumping up and appearing round the corner "Catch me and beat me up if it'll make you feel better, got turned down by Stephanie huh, tough break!" Chris laughs seeing Hunter's face grow full of anger "Well..I don't have all day ya know! Downstairs in a few minutes!" Chris shouts at him sticking his finger up at him and nodding to Steph to go downstairs and running as Hunter dives up the stairs after him. "C'mon big guy, surely you can out run a Canadian cant you!" Chris runs up the stairs using the rails to pull himself up. He can hear Hunter running close behind him up the stairs yelling at him.
"I'm going to kill you Jericho!" Hunter yells grabbing his ankle and tripping him up, Chris falls onto the stairs tripping and using his hands to stop himself falling, he turns over and starts kicking at Hunter trying to get him to let go of him "Your so dead you little bastard, no one talks to me like that" Hunter growls.
"No one, you mean no one has ever spoken to you like that before..I'm surprised you big nosed freak!" Chris laughs kicking him one more time before running up the last few stairs, he dives into the elevator and closes the door just as Hunter reaches them "See ya!" Chris laughs pressing the button to the ground floor. He leans against the sidewall breathing heavily and laughs. God Hunter was going to kill him now, but it was worth it seeing his so angry like that and it did get him away from Steph.
"You are such an idiot" Stephanie laughs standing with her hands on her hips as the doors open and Chris walks out "He is really going to kill you next time he sees you" She says as he steps out of the elevator "There goes the plan to go to the lounge then, he's going to have a search party out looking for you"
"Then how about we don't stay in the hotel and how about we go see the sights and I'll take you to lunch a little later on, I know that you turned Hunter down but maybe you wont turn me down?" Chris asks putting his arms around her waist. "Can we please, please get back together?" He laughs.
"So you can't even look at me now?" Chris mumbles "So..Back with Hunter huh, he must be very happy" Chris mutters folding his arms "Steph talk to me!" Chris says starting to get angry, he grabs another chair and drags it towards hers and sits down. "Talk to me please.."
