***Chapter 19***
Shane stood up from his desk and said, "What's up Michelle, Paul said, you were missing?" I pushed him back against his desk and said, "Stay right there…and do me a favor." I sat down in a chair that was across from Shane's desk, as he sat on his desk. Shane said, "Sure what is it?" I said, "Tell me, everything you thought you'd just generously tell Paul for his own benefit about me…and skip the usual bullshit, and get straight to the useful things you told him about me…" Shane said, "I don't know what you're talking about…"
I said, "Stop…Don't get yourself into a lie…" Shane said, "I'm not lying." I walked over and opened the door and Paul was still there facing the door and I said, "Paul, did he or did he not give you some useful things about me before we started dating?" Paul said, "Yea…" And started to say something when I slammed the door closed again and locked it, and just looked at Shane with one eyebrow up and one down with my arms folded across my chest.
I said, "Now, you want to tell me, or do I get to choke it out of you?" Shane said, "Okay fine!" He sat down in a huff…like a 5 year old would after they've just been scolded for tracking mud on the white carpeting. I walked over and the position was reversed, I was sitting on his desk and he was in the chair…
Shane said, "I may have said a few things to Paul about you…and they may have been lies…I sort of told him you were clingy, and you needed constant attention…and that you'd been married a couple of times before me, and you'd only want to marry him and take his money…" I said, "SHANE BRANDON MCMAHON!!!, I can't believe you told him that! You're such a fucking creep…" Shane said, "Well…what did you want me to say…our marriage was ending and I knew sooner or later, Paul would have the balls to ask you out…because you guys were getting so close..."
I said, "Well first of all…genius it was your fucking fault our marriage was ending…I don't know why I have to keep reminding you and my father of that little fact…and second, who I date once I wasn't with you is none of your concern…and you know that…I wanted to stay friend with you. We were friends first before we were anything else, I realize the divorce was hard on both of us, but nothing can repair something that is that far gone…you know what you have to do right?" Shane looked at the floor and said, "Tell Paul the truth?"
I nodded and said, "Exactly…now you do realize I'm not going to stay in here when you tell him…I'm not going to be back on Raw for another week…I deserve the vacation…especially after what you two morons put me through, tell Paul not to call…I want my vacation Moron Free. I love you both but you make me crazy, and he makes me crazier…I love him more…I love him like I used to love you, but with more of everything…neither of you can replace the other, but Paul seems to be able to take care of my heart a little bit better then you could."
Shane said, "I know I ruined our marriage…and I'm sorry, I got selfish, I thought I was untouchable…I figured I could do what ever I wanted with whoever I wanted and as long as you never found out I was off scott free, but then you busted me, big time! And I knew I was screwed…I also know with as mad as you were that night you busted me, I got off really easy, you could of hit me so hard my dad would of gotten a lump, but you didn't, you said your piece, cussed a little and then left asking for a divorce…I shouldn't have been so stupid cause we could of really had something great…" I said, "We did have something great, we dated for 8 years and were married for 1…besides it was probably bound to happen…things happen for a reason…hell things happen even if they have no reason…"
We both stood up and hugged each other… I walked over and opened the door, and said, "C'mon in Paul..." He walked in and said, "What the hell was that all about?" I said, "Just shut up and sit down…Shane has something's to tell you." Paul sat down and I pulled the door closed behind me as I walked down and left…
I went back to Marie's, she was at class, and so I ate some dinner, and then fell asleep on the couch.
