**Please read and review everyone!!**
Steph got to Brock's room around 3:30 a.m. she dug around in her bag and found the key and let herself in. Once she got in, the room was completely dark, so she made sure that she was quiet. She walked over to the table and set her stuff down, when she turned around, there was Brock standing behind her. "Hi honey, why are you still up?" she said to him while hugging him.
He hugged her back and could smell Paul's cologne. He looked down at her and seen that she was wearing his entire outfit. "Are you the new Triple H mark?" Brock asked her.
"No, I was tired of bending over a hospital bed in a short dress that allowed anyone behind to view the thong that I was wearing underneath so I borrowed some of his clothes." Stephanie answered matter-of-factly.
"Just curious."
"Brock, let's just go to bed, I'm tired, we have a plane to catch in a few hours and I'm going to have my work cut out for me come tomorrow." Steph asked.
"If you want I can help you out of these," Brock said to Steph in a sly tone.
Steph smiled, "If you can catch me." Steph stuck her tongue out at him and started to run towards the bathroom.
Brock jogged after her and caught her and turned her around to face him and kissed her. Steph kissed him back and he held her against the wall while making out with her. He started to pull down the pants, but because they were so much bigger than she was it only took a slight tug and they fell to her ankles.
They both started to laugh. Soon, Steph and Brock were sitting on the floor laughing so hard they had tears streaming down their faces. "C'mon Brock, let's go to bed." Steph said pulling on Brock's arm.
They crawled into bed and Brock held her close. "So, is Paul going to be ok?"
Steph shook her head, "No, Paul's not going to be ok. He tore his quad muscle, it can be a career-ending injury. They are going to operate at 3:00 p.m. today and reattach it to the bone and from there it's all up to him to rehab it. I know that he won't let it keep him down, he'll come back better than ever, but it's still scary."
"Did he have a previous injury to his leg?"
Steph shook her head again, "No, all he did was plant his leg when he went to use the jackhammer and he felt it tear."
Brock shuddered, he could only imagine the pain that he was going through.
"Paul and I talked while we were waiting on Dr, Youngblood, and he apologized for everything and wants to be friends." Steph went on slowly. "I told him that I accepted his apology and that we could be friends, but he had to respect me in our relationship."
"And you think that he's going to do that? Steph this is a guy" Brock started to say when Steph cut him off.
"Brock, I don't want to argue about Paul with you," Steph said with a ferocity in her voice, she sat up and turned around to face him, " but I will tell you this, Paul is a good guy, he gets a bad rap and he has a bad reputation, but you are the last person in this world to tell me what kind of a guy he is. Brock I know that he makes you uncomfortable, but you need to start having faith in me. I'm with you Brock, we are in this relationship together. And if you want to start a fight with me, we'll fight, but you can trust me, you won't like it."
"Listen Steph, it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust him. All I can think about is everyone standing outside of your office saying, "there they go again." When you and him were fighting, I walk into your office and he's trying to make out with you to prove that you are or were still in love with him." Brock began.
"Don't give me that bullshit Brock, you can't just not trust one party involved. I know that Nicole hurt you, but I'm not her, that was her and this is me. Now yeah Nicole makes me uncomfortable, but you don't see me picking fights with you everytime I hear the phone ring in the middle of the night and you go out to another room to talk to her."
Brock's jaw dropped. He didn't know that she was awake for those calls. Nicole had been calling him lately trying to convince him to give her another chance for their family's sake. Brock could not say a word, he was absolutely speechless. He didn't know what to say to her. He knew full well that he was over reacting so much because of what he was trying to hide from her. He by no means was cheating on her, but had been spending a lot of time on late night calls with Nicole.
Steph could see how shocked he was that she knew. "Yes Brock, I know all about them. But I didn't let them get to me. I trusted that if you wanted out of our relationship that you would come to me and tell me, you wouldn't cheat on me. And that's the same respect that I would like from you." Steph said to him.
He could see how angry she was. He couldn't believe what a fool he was being. Yes they were both harboring feelings for their ex's but only she was a big enough person to overcome that, he on the other hand was allowing his own feelings for Nicole to harbor towards jealousy of Steph's feelings for Paul.
Just then Steph's phone rang. She went and answered it in a very angry tone. Brock seen her write some stuff down and then hung up.
"What's up?"
Steph looked at Brock, "I'm on my way to Europe to work on some business consulting. I have to leave now in order to catch my flight. It will be Mom and I and some other people from the company. Let's use this as our cooling off period." Steph took a deep breath and started to get dressed.
Brock went over to her and took her hand, "Steph, I don't want to break up, I love being with you, I'm"
Steph interrupted him by kissing him, "Brock, I'm not breaking this off. I'm just saying that things are a little heated between us and this will be a nice way for both of us to take a breather. I'm still going to call you, I hope that you'll still call me, and I'll be home in 2 weeks. Maybe everything will calm down then. You can work out what you need to with Nicole so you're not on the phone all night and I'll be home soon, ok?"
Brock held her tight, "Steph, I didn't mean for things to become such a mess. Nicole knows that I'm happy with you and that I'm not leaving you for her."
Steph looked up at Brock, "That's exactly how Paul is, I don't want you to worry, ok?" She kissed him.
And with that, Steph walked out of the room and was on her way to Europe.
