-It brings back an old feeling, running into you like this.I'm really not
afraid of hurting, but I can't stand the awkwardness Do I laugh? Do I cry?
Do I dare look in your eyes? -
"I." Stephanie's voice caught in her throat as Hunter answered the phone. " Steph? Is that really you?" Hunter asked, not believing his ex was on the other end. "Yea, it's me." "How'd you get this number?" " I ran into your wife. Nice girl. She told me to call you, so I did." "Wow. Hey, I'll meet you in like 15, in front of "our" restaurant." "Alright. See ya there!" Stephanie quickly hung up and brushed her hair out and touched up her minimal make-up. She slipped her Prada raincoat on and dashed through the rain to her car and drove to the restaurant.
Hunter scanned the crowd outside the restaurant and almost missed the woman he was looking for. If she hadn't looked up at him with those big azure eyes, he'd surely have missed her. She'd taken those ridiculous breast implants out, and wore a simple black sundress and a black leather Prada raincoat, an original, no doubt. Her once long chestnut hair was cut into a cute pixie hairstyle, and bleached a pretty platinum blond with chunky darker blond highlights. She looked pretty good for her age, which was getting to be around 35 or 36, somewhere in there. Her eyes alone held a plateful of emotions and wisdom that he'd never noticed before. She'd certainly grown up in the past decade, which was probably to be expected. That Chris Jericho was one lucky son of a bitch to have such a great woman, Hunter thought. Yes, Hunter had heard about Stephanie's choice in men after him, and quite frankly, it disgusted him. She was nothing but a trophy to Chris, he knew that much. He looked at his left hand, and the wedding band stood out like a sore thumb. Don't get him wrong, he still loved Stacy and would never hurt her on purpose, but their marriage was a little.dull. Loveless, emotionless and he was pretty sure the only reason they were still together was because of their daughter, Raquel. He sighed and made his way over to Steph, who met him in the middle. She grinned at him and he felt her arms go around him in a warm hug. "Hunter, you're soaking wet! Where's your jacket, silly boy?" She chided teasingly, backing up and holding his hands in hers.
Hunter looked good, Stephanie decided as they were quickly seated in a small cozy corner booth. After he'd ordered a small water, and she'd ordered a cup of coffee, she took a good look at the man she'd once loved. His hair was showing streaks of gray in still shoulder-length blond hair. His eyes were still the same mysterious blue, and he still had his muscles. For a man of close to 42, he was down right sexy. Stephanie blushed as she admitted that to herself, and quickly reminded herself that she was married, and had 3 children with the man she was supposed to love, but couldn't bring herself to ever actually love Chris the way she once had Hunter. Surprisingly she realized something. she still did. No, don't, she commanded herself, reminding her heart that Hunter was married now too, and that he probably didn't love her, and that if she told him how she really felt about him, he'd just laugh at her. Steph shook her head, stirring Hunter's curiosity. "What's wrong?" "Nothing really." "Steph, I know that look. Something's going on, what is it?" "Nothing. I just realized that I lost something 10 years ago that I wish I still had." "Steph? Are you saying what I think you're saying?" "Yes, Hunter, I still love you."
A/N: I'll work on the next chappie this week ok? Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, and Nicole for all the ideas. You're a lifesaver, girl. Well, I guess all I can say is please review my story. By the way, the song at the top is "Everytime I look at You" by Blake Shelton.
