A/N - AH HA I AM BACK! Idiot computer's I hate them!

Stephanie turned around in Chris's embrace and hugged him tight with her arms around his shoulders. "I guess I'm not very good at playing hard to get," she whispered almost silently.
And there, in the parking lot, of whereever they were, in front of anybody who cared to see in the fading light of an early morning spring day, she kissed him and he kissed her right back.
Jolting awake with a start Chris's eyes sprang open and he sat up in the bed he was in. He looked to his right and saw her, the woman that haunted his dreams and made his waking moments all the more blissful. He couldn't recall how many times he had, had that dream in the past week. They all started out different, but ended up the same way. With Stephanie in his arms, leaning in and then kissing him softly on his lips. He had nothing against the dreams that invaded his unconsciousness, nothing at all, he welcomed them, but what frustrated him though was that it was simply that, a dream. Nothing more and nothing less. It wasn't happening in reality, not like he wished it to be.
He looked at the clock on the night stand beside him, it read 6:45am, which caused him to sigh tiredly, wanting to do nothing more than lay back down, cuddle into Stephanie and close his eyes, but he knew that sleep wasn't going to come for him again today. He flung the covers off him, careful of Stephanie sleeping next to him, and got up and out of the bed. Slowly he walked over to the window, looking out he couldn't help but smile as he saw the early light of the morning, rising with him. Opening the door that lead out on to a balcony, Chris went out and took a seat on one of the only two chairs that was there, letting the warm rays of the new day's sun shine down upon him.
Thinking back on the previous week and about how much his life and more importantly Stephanie's had changed. After Stephanie's visit with Hunter, they had gone back home with her feeling more liberated than she had in a long time. The day after, they had found out that due to the power and more importantly money that Vince had, he had seen that Hunter be incarcerated for quite some time. What had made the news even sweeter than it already was, was that Vince had stripped Hunter of his too long reign of being the WWE Heavyweight Champion and then made him a new-found member of the unemployed. Chris couldn't help but smile as he pictured Hunter in prison, after losing everything he had held dear to him, the thought of him being anyone's bitch in there brought nothing but amusement and a happy feeling inside of him. After all it was only half of what he deserved.
Looking up as he heard the door open quietly, he saw Stephanie come out and join him on the balcony, sitting down on the only available seat there, facing him.
"You're up early," she told him through a yawn, "Are you ok? You don't usually get up till past 9ish."
"I'm fine, I just couldn't get back to sleep once I woke up is all," he told her. "So you won't be needing me now that Hunter's been put away. You're free, you don't need to be protected anymore," Chris explained slowly.
What he had said registered with Stephanie, it made sense. No one was going to hurt her anymore, why should he stick around now? Did she still want him around? Most definitely. She didn't want him to go anywhere else, unless it was with her. Had she grown dependent on him? Maybe, but just being around him made her feel...a feeling she couldn't even describe. She couldn't deny it anymore, she Stephanie McMahon was in love with Chris Jericho. If she had taken the time to think back to when he had kissed her at King of the Ring, she would have realised she had feelings for him then also. She looked over at him, trying to figure out what he was thinking, was he glad that he could leave now, did he feel like she did? She couldn't tell, Chris was always a mystery she could never solve.
Giving him a small, sad smile, "I guess you're right," was all she could conjur up in response. "When do you plan on going?"
"I...I don't know, sometime today I guess," he stuttered momentarily. "I mean there's nothing keeping me here right?" He asked, silently screaming, 'Just tell me, give me a reason!'
"Right." Stephanie answered shortly, if she wasn't worth staying for then she was not going to beg him to stay, no matter how much she wanted him to stay. Hadn't they kissed, didn't that mean anything to him, like it had to her? Standing up she headed towards the patio door. "I'm going to get something to eat," she told him.
"Stephanie..."
Turning around, she looked at him, catching his eyes with his, drawing her in. Stephanie stood there waiting for a while, until she thought he wasn't going to do or say anything more than just look at her.
"Nothing," Chris muttered ruefully, while sighing heavily to himself for his unbelievable lack of courage.
Watching her go, he wanted nothing more than to go after her, pull her into his arms, kiss her till there was no air left in the world and hold her to him for forever and a day. Chuckling to himself gravely, he couldn't believe how stupid he was being. Why not just tell her that he was crazy about her? One word, he thought to himself, rejection. Why would a woman like that feel anything towards him? He always fell for women out of his league, maybe he should settle down with Trish or someone. Nah, he thought silently, he'd never know what he was gonna catch with someone like that.
~ Later that day ~
Linda and Vince had gone out earlier in the day, for a meeting to decide what was going to happen with the Heavyweight Title. It was only Stephanie and Chris in the house. The sun from early in the morning hadn't lasted and the rain had come and it didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon.
Chris's bags were packed, he had just finished packing when the rain had started coming down forcefully, it was like the world was against him leaving Stephanie. He thought back to the time they had kissed, he thought it was going to lead somewhere but the more he thought about it, he realised that Stephanie had just been excited about going to see her family. He looked across the room, and he saw her sitting on the chair watching tv. It didn't look like she was paying much attention to what was on, truth be told neither was he. He wanted to tell her he didn't wanna leave her, that he'd go anywhere as long as she was by his side. He should have left a while ago, rain or no rain, but he'd look at her one last time and the seconds would pass until minutes had gone and changed into hours. Now was the time, she was etched into his memory every detail and if he didn't go now he never would. Standing up he lifted up his bag and put it on his shoulder and then walked over to where she sat.
"Stephanie," he told, taking her from her thoughts. "I'm gonna go now."
"Now? But it's raining, you can't leave now!" She told him.
"It's only water it won't kill me," Chris told her. "I'll see you at the next show?" He asked her hopefully.
"Yeah I guess I'll see you then."
"Tell Linda and Vince thanks, for letting me stay here and you have my number if you need something right?" He asked her.
"Yeah, I have it," she replied.
"Good, anything you need, anytime you want, I'm there," he told her truthfully. "Well...bye Steph," he finished grudgingly, looking at her.
"Goodbye Chris," she replied, as she leaned over and hugged him before he went savouring his touch one last time.
Letting her go Chris slowly made his way over to the main door, opening it, looking back at her one final time he lifted his hand up and waved and then turned and walked away.
As the door closed with a click, the silence echoed throughout the room, Stephanie stood there, tears coming to her eyes and spilling over and down her cheeks. Why had she just let the man she was crazy about walk away from her? Was she herself crazy? Moving forward quickly, she pulled open the door and saw him walking down the driveway at a slow pace, like he was waiting for something. Was he waiting for her? Right then and there she made up her mind, no matter what his feelings towards her were, she was going to tell him how she felt about him. Running out into the pouring rain she shouted his name.
"Chris!" was what he heard through the pounding rain that was thumping down against the pavement below him, whirling around with a look of surprise on his face, he saw Stephanie coming to a halt, getting soaked in nothing but a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Dropping his bag to the ground he walked up to her, taking off his jacket and covering her shaking form.
"Steph, what are you doing?" He asked confused. "Get back inside before you catch your death!"
"Stay?" She asked him.
"Stay," he repeated. "With you?" Chris asked and watched her nod her head yes. "Do you want me to?"
"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want you to! Stay Chris, please?" She asked again, while walking up closer to him.
"I...of course I will, for you Princess anything," he told her, causing her to smile and hug him to her tight, with her arms around his shoulders.
"Is this a dream?" he asked her.
"No it isn't, why?" Stephanie asked.
"It's just I've dreamt this so many times before and I always, always wake up." Chris told her.
"Well, you're already awake, so that won't happen this time," Stephanie told him. "Chris?"
"Yeah?"
"I need to tell you something," she said as he gave her his full attention. "I....I love you. There I said it, I love you. I have for a while now, I don't know if you feel the same, maybe you do, maybe you don't. But I've felt something between us and I tried to forget it but it didn't work. You make me feel so safe, something I never was with Hunter. When you hold me in your arms I never want you to let me go, I look in your eyes and I get lost in them. When you said you were leaving this morning, I wanted to do nothing more than grab hold of you and never let go until you said you weren't going anywhere, unless it was with me. I guess I'm not good at playing hard to get."
Those last words causing him take a sharp intake of breath, it was just the same as his dream this morning. Looking at her, he tried his best to say that he felt the same way but his brain was having a little trouble working after her words, so instead he leaned down and kissed her, right there in the pouring rain, in the darkness of the night surrounding them. Closing his eyes he pulled back, then ever so slowly he opened them only to see Stephanie still standing there. Smiling, he silently thanked God that this wasn't another dream.
"I love you too, so much." He told her finally content.
The End.
