"Ok, ok I promise, I won't say anything, just give me details Steph!" Shane exclaimed.

Just as he agreed, they pulled up to the apartment building where Brock lived. "Well, you'll have to wait a minute, I have to run in and grab something."

Steph walked up to the door, reached under the rug, got the key and let herself into Brock's apt. She set her purse down on the kitchen counter and walked in to the living room where she left her jacket. She looked around and smiled. She could picture herself flying into Ohio and sneaking in and surprising him while he was still at OVW. But then she started to wonder what would happen if she did that, and he came home with another woman. Steph shook her head and grabbed her jacket. She locked the door and slipped the key back under the rug and ran back down to the limo.

"Well Shane-O, yesterday I took Brock out to lunch so I could interview him and see if he's mentally ready for the road. And on our way back, I started to think about Paul, and finding him with Trish and I started crying. Not hard, but Brock noticed. And he offered to take me out to cheer me up. So I decided to take him up on his offer." Steph started but got interrupted by Shane.

"Let me get this straight, you agreed to being taken out by Brock?"

"Shane, let me finish my story than you can ask questions." Steph stated sternly. "So last night he took me out to dinner, and we got to know each other and realized that we had some things in common, so then we went to the club to go dancing. And I was hell-bent on cheering up and so I found myself having a little too much to drink. So we went back to his place and talked about our past and where we would like to see our future and we know that we have feelings for each other, so we're dating." Steph said with a smile. Knowing full well that she left out lots of details that Shane just didn't need to know.

Shane put his head in his hands, "Steph, you're my little sister, and I look out for you, and this is one of those times. You can't date him. You just can't."

Steph got infuriated, "Tell me why YOU think that I can't date him. I don't see this as being your decision."

"You're setting yourself up for failure. Once he's in the big time, he's going to dump you. Can't you see that he's only doing this to get himself up in the company?? I know that they say that love is blind, but this is ridiculous."

"He is not like that Shane." Steph interrupted. "He is in this for me not for the business." "We talked and."

Shane interrupted, "You and Paul did a lot of talking too and look what happened. You got swept up into something that seems like it could be a relationship, but in all actuality it's just something that will wind up being for convenience. You know damn well that when he tells someone that he's dating you, you're going to ruin his integrity at OVW. When he makes it, no one is going to believe that it's because of his talent even though they all know what he has, they're going to do to him what the locker room did to Paul, bypass his talent and talk shit saying that it's because he's screwing you. AND I'm sure he knows that if he's in good with you then you're going to talk him up to dad and he'll call him up early. Just like you did with Paul. Everyone knows how it worked with you and Paul. And I'm sure he knows to use it to his advantage."

Steph started crying, "Fuck you Shane, you don't know anything about him. You don't know what his intentions are. As far as what the locker room or the others think I can't control that. But you sure as Hell don't have the right to talk like you know what he's after." Steph started crying harder. "I knew I shouldn't have told you, don't talk to me right now."

Shane felt bad about making her cry. "Steph, I'm not trying to be an asshole, but I'm trying to tell you what could happen and I don't want you hurt again." Shane reached over and rubbed her back. "Don't cry Steph, I just wanted to make sure you gave thought to what you were doing."

Steph looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "I know what I'm doing, you have to trust me. And telling people about us is one thing we never discussed."

Shane shook his head, "He probably didn't bring it up because that way he can get away with telling everyone and then acting innocent, because now he has something new to brag about.. the bosses daughter."

Steph started crying again, "Shane, I don't want to hear it right now, ok? Just please, let it be."

Shane patted her hand, "Alright Steph, if you know that everything is ok, then I'll leave you alone and I wish you the best. But I'm just warning you."

Steph looked at him,"Of course I know that everything is ok, but thank you." But Steph started to second-guess herself. "What if he's right? What if that is what he's after? But I just can't see that" Then Steph started to sniffle and tear up again.

They arrived at OVW, and Shane helped Steph out of the limo. "Ok, now remember, we're looking for a couple of guys that are ready to work dark matches, and see how they go over. We have a lot of injured guys right now and we need to fill gaps."

Steph wiped her eyes, "Yup, I remember. Is mom and dad here?"

"Yup, they are here evaluating along with us."

Steph rolled her eyes, "Great, this will be a fun day."

Shane smiled and patted her back and they walked in.

There was a table set up with flyers on OVW's next monthly match-up and what the line-ups for the week's shows were going to be. Over in the corner was Vince and Linda talking with Jim Corenette. Shane and Steph walked over to greet them.

"Good morning kids," Vince said to them as they were walking up. "We were just going over what each wrestler's specialties are."

Steph smiled, "Sounds good, are there any specific possibilities, or are we open to anyone? Just males or females as well?"

Linda looked at Steph and Shane, "We know that we for sure want to bring Brock Lesnar up to meet with Paul Hayman to start working on their angle because we need that force right now with so many people out. Other than that, we're putting the decisions in your guys' hands."

"Sounds good, let's go watch some matches," Shane said to Stephanie.

"Go ahead, I'm going to grab some coffee and then I'll be out there." Steph replied. Then she turned to walk towards the catering room. When she got there, Shelton was in there getting a bottle of water.

Steph immediately started to turn red, "Good morning,"

Shelton turned and looked at her, "Good morning, how are you?"

"I'm good thanks." Steph answered smiling.

"Well, have a good day." Shelton said to Stephanie as he was on his way out of the door.

Steph poured herself some coffee and thought to herself "I wonder if he knows?"

Steph walked out and stood by Shane. They started to watch the training, and she noticed that Brock was looking a little tired, but he was still working as hard if not harder than everyone else was. Shane leaned over and mumbled to Steph, "So, where did you have to run in and grab your jacket from this morning?"

Steph stifled a giggle and leaned over to Shane, "That's still none of your business, but if you would have listened to my story then you would know where it was."

Shane leaned back over, " Thought so, but I had to ask and see if you would tell me."

Steph punched him and walked over by Linda and Vince. "I think that Victoria would be a nice replacement on Raw for Jazz while she's rehabbing. She seems like she would have a good spark."

"We'll take that into consideration," Vince replied.

Steph walked back up just as Shane was headed towards Vince. She watched as everyone was drilled on the new skill and seen how they reacted. She noticed that Brock was very focused on what he was doing, she couldn't tell if he even realized that she was there. Which was ok with her, she was still brewing on what Shane had drilled into her head. She walked off to the catering room, and the trainers called for lunch break. She was making a sandwich when Brock and Shelton walked into the room. Steph hadn't even noticed until she felt eyes on her, she turned around and smiled. "Hey guys!"

Brock smiled, "Hello there, and how are you today?"

Steph smiled back, "I'm good thanks, and how are you?"

"I'm pretty good thanks."

Steph looked at Shelton, "And hello again."

"Hi there."

Just then, the rest of the crowd started to file in for lunch. Brock noticed that Steph's eyes were swollen and a little red.

Shane waved to Steph to show her where they were sitting, but Steph waved him away, "I'm going to eat outside today, it's nice out."

Shelton nudged Brock, "Maybe you should happen to eat outside today"

Brock nodded his head and got his food. Then he turned and walked out of the room and headed outside.
