I can't Live Without You
Chapter 7
Hey you guys, I am so sorry that I haven't updated in forever. I have been sick and busy with catching up on school and such. I had finals last week and they were all really hard so it took me a while to study and I have a Biology test on Monday and my teacher is making it extra hard on me. So, I hope that you all like this chapter and I will be leading everyone a little farther into who the mystery guy is that keep threatening Eric. I think that he's the hottest guy in the WWE so I decided to share him with Stephanie. Even though I wont share him with anyone else. LOL.
Eric sat at his desk and wondered about the new talent that Stephanie was bringing to Smackdown! He hadn't bothered to contact her after he had been hiding in her closet on Thursday. He hadn't been called by his threatner at all the past weekend. Suddenly his phone ringing brought him away from his threats.
"Hello?" He answered
"Hey you, I was wondering if you were okay because I haven't heard from you in a while." Stephanie said on the other line.
Eric frowned. "That's because I haven't tried to contact you." He said icily.
Stephanie paused, wondering why he was being a jerk for a moment before responding, "Well make sure that everything is okay for Thursday. I have a surprise for you."
Eric rolled his eyes. "What would that be? You're new talent coming to Smackdown! on Thursday?" He asked.
"How did you find out?" Stephanie asked incredulously, wondering if she had a snitch in her roster.
"Oh I was there on Thursday. I answered your phone."
"You answered my phone?! What gives you any right.no.never mind about that. Do you know who it is yet?"
"No but I don't care. You can't surpass me Steph. When are you going to learn that? You aren't better than I am, you never will be. You and your show aren't going anywhere. You're stuck with a crashed show and they're stuck with a crashed has-been general manager."
Stephanie sounded hurt as she retaliated. "I don't know what I did to you to have you be such an ass but if you think that you are going to get away with talking to me like that then."
"Then what? What are you going to do? Go tell daddy on me?"
"You're an ass you know that? But you know what? I'm glad that your showing your true side."
Eric's frown was replaced by a confused look. "Why is that?"
"Because now I know that if I would have took you up on your offer without a second thought I would be no where but sitting at my office at headquarters dealing with accounts. Because you would have taken my show, stole my business, and all but disowned me. Isn't that right? You don't care about me. You just wanted my show so you decided to play the smitten devil in disguise."
Eric put his head in his free hand propped up on his desk. He hadn't meant to get so rash with her. He just didn't like the surprise and now he had just started something that he had never wanted to start again. "I didn't do that. I do like you as more than a competitive edge Stephanie. I was just caught off guard when I found out."
"Well get used to it. Because there is no way in hell now that I am going to let you and your show ever be greater than mine." With that, she hung up.
Eric hung up the phone and sighed. That was not supposed to happen. Now he had to find a way to get himself out of that one. But then he caught himself thinking. "What do I care? I don't care about her. Do I?" He asked himself.
A little while later, he walked back into his office. He had just had a run in with Rosie and Jamal and he had about had it with those two.
His cell phone rang and for the second time that night he picked it up and greeted the receiver with a sharp "what?"
There was a pause and then a thick accent came across the line with a slanged, "Too bad. Fights aren't good when you're dealing with this one. You just lost her in one little misunderstanding. Too bad for you."
Eric recognized it as his threatener even though his voice was different. Eric guessed that before he had been using a voice-warping machine so as to not give off his real vocal cords. While Eric was thinking about that, the man started talking again.
"Yes I got rid of the machine. By the time you figure out who I am however, I'll have Stephanie in my arms. See you later Mr. Bischoff." Then the line went dead.
Eric was about to say something before the line went dead but the other man was too quick. Eric hung up and a thoughtful look came over his features. The man had just talked to him in his real voice. It shouldn't be too hard figure out who this guy was.
Almost an hour later Eric had to pack up and leave for his hotel room. He hadn't figured out who the guy was. He hadn't even got a clue. How many guys that worked in the federation had accents?
There ya go guys. Hope you all like. Who do you think it is? Reviews please. Don't forget. They mean a lot to me. They will keep me going faster and maybe I'll get over my flu faster too.
