Brock walked outside with his food and found Steph sitting under a tree, looking sadly towards the parking lot. Brock walked up to her and squatted down. "Is this seat taken?"

Steph jumped, she hadn't expected to see him outside here, she smiled at him "No, go ahead."

Brock looked at her with concern in his eyes "What's going on? You look sad."

Steph looked over at Brock and tried not to cry, "I've just had...I just don't...I'm not sure..." Steph couldn't hold back, she broke down crying.

Brock leaned over and held her, "Steph, what's wrong? What's going on?"

Steph sniffled, and leaned into him. "I told Shane about us, and he.. He was just.." She couldn't even complete her sentence she was crying too hard.

Brock rubbed her back, "Shh.it's ok, I'm here, and I won't let anyone hurt you whether it's your ex, your brother or.anyone. What did he say?"

Steph looked at him, "I don't want you to get mad, and I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but he thinks that you're only with me because of my last name, and not because you want to be with me," Steph cried, "He said a whole bunch of things, and it upset me that he sat there and insinuated things when he doesn't even know you. And I trust you, but it hurt and it's upsetting."

Brock interrupted her, "I know where you're coming from, I told Shelton, and he pretty much did the same thing. And I got mad at him for insinuation those kinds of thoughts. Let me guess, hearing those thoughts from your brother got your mind wondering if my intentions are true right?"

Steph got nervous, she didn't want to lose him because she was paranoid, so she looked away from him and said "No, I trust you, it's just that."

Brock interjected," It's just that being who you are, and I'm sure it's happened before, makes you start wondering. I totally understand, because when Shelton started bringing everything up, I realized that you and I never talked about that, we never talked about that because of the fact that it's not an issue with us. I'm dating you because you're Stephanie, not because you're a McMahon."

Steph smiled at him, "Brock, that's great. I knew that I knew you better than what Shane thinks I do."

Steph leaned into him and held him tight. Brock kissed her on the top of her head, and then tilted her head up and kissed her lips.

"Looks like I'm going to need to cheer you up again tonight." Brock said to her with a chuckle. "How about I make you a candlelight dinner, and we'll just hang out at my house, we'll go out and rent some movies?"

Steph smiled at him, "Well, as great as that sounds, I'm going to have to pass, because tomorrow night is the Smackdown Taping,"

Brock nodded his head, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that, you fly out tonight don't you?"

Steph smiled again, "Yeah I do,but.you're coming with me."

Brock turned and looked at her, "What did you say?"

"Well, it's just about your time, so we would like you, Shelton, Randy Orton, and Dave Batista and Victoria to come up and work a few dark matches and a few house shows to see how the crowd reacts to you guys, and you'll be meeting with Paul Hayman tomorrow. But you can't say anything to anyone yet, you're the only set in stone."

Brock got up with a big smile and picked her up and spun her around just as Shelton was coming outside. They didn't see who it was so he quickly put her down. Steph leaned in close, "So how about we see what happens?"

Brock smiled, "Sounds good."

Shelton laughed, "You two are something else" Shelton said while shaking his head. "Just be careful, we have 5 minutes till we're back from lunch."

Brock smiled, "Alright thanks man."

Shelton shook his head and walked back inside.

Steph and Brock laughed. "Well, I'll let you go so you can finish up and I'm going to make final plans with dad."

Brock looked at Steph, "Next time we're on our own, we'll talk about telling people"

Steph nodded her head. "Sounds good."

They leaned into each other and kissed rather passionately. "I'll see you soon," Brock whispered and walked off.

Steph stood there in the sun tingling from the kiss and thinking to herself how great it will be to bring him on the road for the week.
