Title: How Love Works
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story. The song is called 'Crazy' by 3LW.
It has been a couple of months. Stephanie and Paul haven't spoken a word to each other since that awful day. Stephanie was upset. She loved Paul, but who cares now? Right? He didn't care. He was to busy with Amy. She wished she could regret everything that had happened, but she couldn't because if she did she might not have even been so close with Paul.
I don't apologize, that i have compromised
myself and other guy.
Its you I'm talkin' 'bout.
I've been with him for years.
But baby you uh, I must be crazy.
Stephanie walked into the arena alone. Randy was at his parents home in Tacoma, Washington. They were performing Raw in Baltimore, Maryland that night. She walked through the halls. She passed a couple of people saying hi to some of them. After a while of walking she ran into Amy. She couldn't look at Amy, but she had to hide her feelings.
"Hi, Steph, how have you been lately?" Amy asked with a sweet smile.
'I've been awful. I hate you for taking Paul.' Steph thought, but really said, "I've been good and you?"
"I've been great. We should hang out later this afternoon. It seems like we don't talk anymore." Amy said.
"O.k. we'll hang out after the show." Stephanie said. Amy was always so nice to her.
"All righty then. I'll see you after the show." Amy said leaving.
'Why can't I have Paul?' Stephanie wondered to herself. 'It all had to start that night when we watched those movies together.'
I want you for my own
You've been with her so long.
She never done you wrong and she's so nice to me
we should have never touched cuz now we're in love.
We must be crazy
Paul sat in his locker room. He was reading an old Raw issue magazine. He had nothing better to do. As he flipped through the magazine he cam across a picture of himself and Stephanie when they were doing the McMahon-Helmsley Era. He missed her. He couldn't believe he was such a jerk to her. She was confused and he had to go and make a big deal about it. Maybe if he hadn't have spent that night with her watching all those movies. He remembered that she had sat in between his legs and he had wrapped his hands around her waist. Maybe if he hadn't touched her, he wouldn't be in love with her right now.
You got a girl, i got a man but i can't lie.
I wanna leave him when i look into your eyes
you never thought that holdin me would change your life.
I guess that __ stands for two
wrongs can't make a right
Paul stood up from the leather couch and walked out the locker room. He was looking for his buddy Adam Copeland. While looking for Adam he bumped into Stephanie. They stared at each other for a moment. No words were spoken. Stephanie just felt like leaving Randy right now, just to be with Paul. She knew that when he held her that night she stayed in his hotel room it changed his life. She knew that because he wasn't the same after that night. Soon they both snapped out of their trance and went their separate ways.
It's something that i can't help.
My heart wants someone else.
Theres nothing that i can do.
Never thought it would be you.
When Paul and Stephanie first met, it was when they had to do the McMahon-Helmsley Era storyline. When they started to practice lines together they became really good friends. Never in a million years had Stephanie thought she would love Paul. Stephanie wanted Paul. Randy was a great guy, it was just that she wanted something new, something she and her heart wanted.
You say you're not afraid.
I'll do the same to you.
You must be crazy.
Stephanie went and sat outside to get some fresh air. When she sat down, she looked up and say the happy couple of Gail Kim and Chris Irvine. She smiled a small smile. She used to be that happy when she would talk and or hang out with Paul. She remembered that night when she came to his hotel she was scared of getting caught by Randy, but when she looked into Paul's eyed that feeling went away. Paul had told her he wasn't afraid of letting something happen that should happen. Just him saying that made her feel like she was fearless.
It's too late to turn back now.
I'm afraid we don't know how.
Baby keep your faith in me.
I'll never let you down.
It's funny how we both know theres no one else for us it's crazy.
Stephanie smiled at her remembrance of Paul and herself. Gosh it felt like years that she hadn't talked to him. They used to be so close, but she knew that it was too late to go back to that special night. Some how after sitting there for a long time she convinced herself that he still had faith in her, which she hoped he did. She wasn't going to let him down, well at least slip away from her any farther then he already is. She knew that there was no one else for her out in this world except for him, and she had this strong feeling that he knew the same thing except for her.
Paul didn't find Adam anywhere, so he sat down in the cafeteria and ate some little snacks. As he was doing this he saw the newlyweds Torrie and Billy Kidman. They reminded him of how he wanted to get married and have kids. He wanted a family. The first person that came to his mind as his wife was Stephanie. He couldn't argue with his mind because he knew he couldn't argue with the truth, that he did want Stephanie to be his wife. Not just a storyline wife, a real like, off-screen wife.
You got a girl, i got a man but i can't lie.
I wanna leave him when i look into your eyes
you never thought that holdin me would change your life.

Paul knew that wouldn't happen. She had a man and he had a girl. He couldn't believe how much Stephanie had changed his life. He knew better then to do what he did last time. He used Amy last time. He couldn't do that again. He just figured two wrongs can't make a right.
You got a girl, i got a man but i can't lie.

Stephanie wanted so bad to just leave Randy at that moment she looked into Paul's eyes. She didn't do anything about because she had a man and he had a girl. What was there to do? It would just all get into a huge mess again.
I been dreamin, baby you and I just leavin all the things
behind we can make it in a __
baby pack our bags lets go.
I just wanna be your girl.
You and i against the world.
The next day Paul woke up to see Stephanie next to him, but instead of Stephanie he saw Amy. Paul cursed under his breathe. He had dreamt that Stephanie and he had solved everything and ran away together. 'If things were only that easy.' Paul thought.

Stephanie rose up from her bed. She had just awoke from her dream. Her dream was of her and Paul reuniting and going up against the world. Together. When she woke up she almost thought Paul was with her. She knew that would only happen in her dreams. The only thing Stephanie could tell herself was….
"If it was meant to be, it will happen sooner or later"
