Part 7

When Hunter finally awoke an hour or so later he saw Abbie snuggled up against him and he smiled. For the first time in a long time he felt good and it figured that it would be because of Austin's sister. He knew one thing for certain... nothing and/or no one was going to split them apart, not after he'd finally found her - the woman he'd been waiting for all along - even if it meant being nice to Austin. Which wasn't exactly an appealing prospect. He felt her stir and looked into her eyes as she opened them.

"Hey" he said.

"Mornin'."

He noticed a funny look flash across her face. "You okay? You don't regret what happened do you?"

"NO!" Abbie shouted. She took a second to calm herself before she began to speak again. "It's just Steve was here..."

Hunter cut her off, "If he was here why wasn't I rudely awakened?"

"Will you listen?" Abbie said exasperated.

"Sure."

"Okay, he was mad- really mad..."

"Why?" he asked and then noticed her look, "Sorry."

"It seems that your ex-wife and that guy she's with were leading him on a wild goose chase on a quest to find us in a compromising position" Abbie finally managed to say.

"Steph and Angle... that figures" Hunter replied shaking his head. "Their own sex life is *so* boring that they have to stalk other people and spy on theirs."

Abbie laughed, "Maybe, but..."

"No buts" Hunter told her. "Austin is gonna find out about us eventually. Especially since I intend to spend every spare second I have with you."

"Yeah, but he'd probably take it better if I told him - rather than your ex."

"Good point" Hunter said kissing her gently. "So when are you gonna tell him?"

"Soon" Abbie muttered as she pushed Hunter back down onto the mattress.


"I am *so* pissed off" Stephanie said to Kurt as they waited for their room service to arrive.

Kurt looked up from his morning cartoons and looked at her confused. "About what?"

"Hunter and..."

"Austin's sister" Kurt cut her off. "I thought we'd agreed last night that we should let Hunter have his own life and get on with ours?"

"We did" Stephanie admitted reluctantly. "But I just can't stand to see him happy. After everything he put me through - including getting me tossed out of the WWF... temporarily."

Kurt sighed, "You're right it was only temporary." He got up and walked over to her, putting his arms securely around her waist. "You know" he whispered in her ear, "I think the best way to get back at Hunter - besides me beating him up regularly - is to prove to him how much happier, sexier and better off you are with me, than you were with him."

Stephanie smilled and whirled around to face her love, "You're right. From now on it's just you and me that matters and not Huinter and that trashy Texan slut he's... with."

Kurt kissed her, "It's about time."

He picked Stephanie up in his arms and carried her over to the bed. Neither of them heard the the room service porter when he arrived a few minutes later.


"Steve, calm down" Debra told her husband for the twentith time since he'd returned from Abbie's room.

Steve was screwing a napkin up into a little ball and then ripping it to shreads. "She was hiding something" he replied.

Debra sighed, "As much as you hate to admit it honey... your sister's not a little girl anymore. She can do what she likes."

"It's not what she likes that bothers me" Steve answered sullenly, "It's who."

"So we're back to the Hunter thing again?"

"We never left the Hunter thing" Steve said scowling at the thought of Triple H anywhere near his innocent liitle sister.

Debra shook her head, "So what? Now Abbie's hiding him in her hotel room? Do you really think that little of her?"

"What do ya mean?"

"That you actually think your sister slept with a guy she's known less than a day" Debra clarified.

"Why not?" Steve added, "You did."

Debra's face turned bright red and she glared at her husband. After a second she stood up and said, "You son-of-a-bitch. I hope she is sleeping with him, just so can watch you have a heart attack. One that will, with any luck, send you straight to hell."

She walked off all huffy and Steve watched her leave, wondering what in the hell was wrong with her. When he saw everyone in the cafe looking at him, he said, "PMS." Then he left in search of a major bunch of flowers and some sappy card verse to memorise to get back in his wife's good books.
