***Chapter 8***

About a month later, I went back to Raw…and was ready to kick a little ass…Trish went with me to get my wrestling outfits in order…I kept the simple look that I started with…plastic everything….I had it in red, blue, white, purple, green, yellow…and of course the black…

Paul loved to see me in the outfits, when I would go out…wrestling wasn't something I did on an every night basis like the rest of the wrestlers…I was usually just on Raw and Smackdown. Anyways, on the show Triple H and Stephanie's marriage crumbled, and eventually they did a big thing for about 3 weeks on them getting divorced.

When this thing was final, Triple H challenged Stephanie to a match and if she won, she's be the WWE Champion, but if she lost, she was banned from ever coming back to Raw or Smackdown… She lost, and it was great down Paul sat on his knee's eye level with her, as he was waving good-bye to her, while the arena security threw her out…Shane came in and replaced Stephanie, which wasn't too bad, at least then I wouldn't be getting sabotaged…This way also if it was Paul being sabotaged, at least he could take it…

Paul didn't care what anyone thought…he went out wrestled, kicked a little ass on the way, and then came back and would talk to me before or after my matches and then we'd leave…

Well one night we were sitting back stage and were talking to each other…we had the dressing room door closed so no one could or would come in…without knocking first. Paul said, "So, do you think we're stable enough to talk about us?"

I said, "I dunno, you always ask me that question, and I never know…because just when I think I'm ready to talk to you, something happens and we go straight back to just being friends and worrying about little things later…Paul I would love for us to sit down and have a normal adult conversation about us, but every time we start to, we get to that awkward point where were about to kiss, and something happens…a bolt of lightening, a dead body, an friend showing up out of no where."

Paul said, "Look over there…I closed and locked the door, there is no one that is willing enough to break down the door just to talk to either of us…if it's that important, they can call our cell-phones." I smiled a little but still had a hesitant look on my face…

I sat there quiet for a few minutes and said, "So…where do we start?"
