"Man, you CanNOT be serious!" Shane laughed. "She's an older woman, Shan.
What would you want with a has been like that?"
"I think she's great," the small blond shrugged.
He knew his friends would find a problem with his new crush. Okay, she was older than he was, but there was something about her that Shannon found magnetically attractive. The woman had a backbone. She'd left the company briefly and came back, even though the storylines they gave her were degrading. She loved the business and wouldn't let that deter her. Shannon admired her conviction, and her legs. She may have a few miles on her, but Shannon loved her legs.
"She's a little long in the tooth," Jeff pointed out. "You're still in your early twenties, man. What are you going to do with her a few years down the road?"
"A few years down the road?" Matt asked skeptically. "What's he going to do with her NOW?"
"Look, I don't know why you're all hating on her," Shannon sighed. "She's a co-worker and a great performer. You have to admit that she's taken a lot of abuse in the storylines lately. It takes a great lady to put what's best for the business above her own pride."
They all grudgingly nodded.
"But, Shan," Jeff pleaded. "This is going to ruin your rep with the other ladies, man. You know they don't really associate with her."
"If it ruins my rep, oh well," the stubborn blond shrugged. "I got to follow my heart, man. You and I always vowed we do that."
"But how could your heart lead to . . . HER?!" Matt replied for Jeff who stood dumbfounded.
"It just does."
A knock sounded on the door and the lady in question poked her head in the doorway.
"You ready for that coffee now, Shannon?"
"More than," Shannon smiled and turned back to his friends. "Don't wait up."
They all looked a little green as they saw Shannon take Mae Young's hand when they left.
