Steph had cried after they hung up the phone but she knew in her heart that
she had to let him figure stuff out with Nicole and as much as she hated to
admit it, she needed to sort things out with Paul.
Steph called Paul when she finished her stuff in Europe and let him know that she was going to be visiting him in Pennsylvania for moral support and to catch up.
Paul called Scott Hall, he was an old friend of Paul's and he knew lots of ways to manipulate a person. "Hey Scott, guess what? Steph's coming down to see me. I knew that all of that apology bullshit would work. Now I just need to figure out how to get into her heart to make sure that she doesn't go back to Brock and she stays with me where she belongs."
"What if you just lay it on thick about being injured? Use it to your advantage. Play on her heartstrings, and let her know just how much it means to you that she's there for you. And then, go off of what type of body language she shows you, you'll know exactly what to do to swoop in for the kill." Scott advised him.
"Sounds good man, thanks for the advice." And Paul hung up.
Steph arrived at his place and for the entire time he was there, he would completely suck up to Steph and when she would go out to pick up food or something he would call his buddies.
Stephanie couldn't believe that this whole time she was out there, things were so smooth between the two of them. They didn't bicker, he didn't pick on her about anything unless it was something cute. She was smiling and she felt like she had has total attention. He was no longer the asshole Paul, he was finally back to the Paul that she had originally fallen in love with and defended his honor to her family.
Steph missed Brock though. She thought about him constantly. She didn't feel like herself, she wasn't as happy as she had been in the past and she certainly didn't feel as bubbly. But she knew that she was nursing old wounds that he had left and that he was slowly making them better. There were many times where she picked up the phone to call Brock, but would hang up because she figured that if Brock hadn't called by now then he was obviously happier with Nicole, the mother of his child.
Steph and Paul went out to dinner and rented movies and would sit and cuddle on the couch, but she never let him kiss her. She was still in a relationship and she was not going to do that to Brock. One night, they were watching Hope Floats and Steph got to thinking about how she kept pushing Paul away and maybe he was the one and that she should at least give him the chance to show her that he was the one. So after the movie was over, she got up to clean up dinner and Paul pulled her onto the couch next to him and started to tickle her. They both had to careful because of fragile Paul's leg was, but he had her pinned under him and he leaned down and they kissed. Then they kissed some more, and Paul slowly started to slide his tongue into Steph's mouth. He slowly parted her lips and started to make out with her. She started to make out with him and he started to slide his hand up her shirt. He hadn't felt her in so long, and he hadn't been touched in so long, it felt so good. He moaned softly while still making out with her.
Steph couldn't believe it. She hadn't slept with Brock yet, and here Paul was seducing her! It felt so good to be touched like that, and being sexual was always a big part of Stephanie. She was a sex kitten trapped inside of daddy's little girl. It was nice that her character had evolved into allowing her to show some of her wild side but even Brock hadn't seen it all yet. "Wait a minute, here I am with Paul but all I can think about is Brock, I can't do this." Steph pulled back and pushed Paul slightly. "Paul, I can't do this. I'm still in a relationship and I'm not about to cheat on him. I will not do that to someone when it hurt me so bad. I've already gone too far. I'm going to go to bed and I'll see you in the morning." And Steph practically ran to her bed.
Paul sat there very aroused, but then the thought struck him, tomorrow was her last day with him. If he were able to break through this much, he would definitely be able to get through to her. He knew which buttons to push. He grabbed his crutches and went on to bed.
The next day, Steph drove Paul to therapy. "Paul, I'm going to go shopping for some things, do you have a way home?"
"Yeah, I'll catch a ride like I do when you're not around."
Ok, well have a good day and be careful!"
Paul leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, "See ya later."
Steph drove off to go do some shopping. And Paul went to therapy. Paul got home and called Scott.
"Dude, I almost got her to go all the way last night, but her conscience stopped her. I have got to get through to her somehow. And I know exactly how I could do it."
Scott asked, "How? If nothing has worked yet, what do you possibly think you could do to get it to work?"
Steph got back to Paul's with just enough time to pack her stuff and head to the airport to go home. She had finally stopped playing games with herself and it was time to tell Paul exactly how she felt about him. She didn't know what Brock felt, but she decided to not worry about it and to go with her heart and even though not everyone would be happy, she was going to go with her gut.
She walked in and closed the door and heard Paul in the back of the room. She started to walk back there and then she heard Paul say,
"Well, First I'm going to have a candlelight dinner delivered, then I'm going to play our song, for dessert we'll split a sundae. I'm going to slowly put the moves on her and then make love to her. She'll never want to leave. And you see Scott, once that happens, she'll be putty in my hands. Then I can go back to being with whoever I want and she'll think that everything is happy and fine and we'll live happy ever after."
Steph couldn't believe her ears. And he wasn't even done!
"I'll make damn sure that she knows her place is by my side. I know exactly what I need to do to ensure."
Stephanie had enough and she walked into Paul's room and interrupted him, You aren't going to do shit for me Paul. I can't believe that I actually started to believe everything you told me. I truly thought that you had changed. But, I was coming to tell you that I'm head over heels in love with Brock. He's the one on my mind, and he was all I could think of when we were on the couch last night."
Paul was outraged, how dare she say that to him. "Stephanie, you don't know the half."
Stephanie yelled back at him, "Don't say shit to me Paul, I know exactly what I'm doing, I'm gambling on my heart. I did that once and I got hurt by you, but I've learned and I've grown and here I am, standing on my own two feet. Don't fucking try and stop me, I'm gone, and don't you even think of calling me."
Stephanie turned and grabbed her suitcase, she was crying, "Don't talk to me, don't look at me.
Stephanie stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut. She hopped into the limo that was awaiting her. She laid her head on the window and silently let the tears roll down her face. "I just want to go home, crawl into a bathtub and I'll call Brock in the morning, I don't know if I'm ready to face rejection yet." Steph said to herself. She turned her phone off and closed her eyes till she got to the airport.
She climbed on the plane and sat down in her seat and decided that she would sleep the whole way back to Greenwich.
