At about 7:30, I went to Shane's hotel room. It was pretty spacious. Definitely making people aware of whom he in fact was. On the stand beside the couch, there was a stack of movies. Shane had gotten "Beavis & Butthead", "Interview with the Vampire", and "Shawshank Redemption". Obviously he saw the grin on my face, because he is giving me quite the curious look.

"OK. What gives? Am I missing a private joke?"

"No Shane, you're not. It's just that either you've done your research, or you have done really good picking out movies."

"Research is definitely out of the picture. Paul'd have me hunted down. Actually, I had heard you mention how much you liked Shawshank Redemption, but the other two I guess I just lucked up on."

"It seems you did."

"I've got Sprites, popcorn, and chips with mild salsa."

"OK, whom've you been talking to?"

"No one I promise. Now, how about we enjoy these movies?"

"Lead the way."

"After you Madame."

Before Interview With the Vampire even began, I told him the he would more than likely have to hold me after the part Lestat comes back the first time they killed him. He laughed and just opened his arms. Hey, a new favorite place of mine. I was so engrossed in the movie; I didn't even notice Shane wasn't paying attention. About ¾ of the way through, when they get to the part that the vampires feed on the girl in the theatre, I looked up and met Shane's chocolate brown eyes.

(Whispering)"You ok?"

"Couldn't be more perfect."

With that, Shane McMahon leaned down and kissed me. Damn. What was it with men and these slow kisses? Thank God I was sitting down. I didn't pull away. What scared me was that I wanted more. At first I was tentative. I felt his tongue trying to gain access into my mouth and I was scared to death. Once I decided to allow him access, I felt him trying to touch every place like he was attempting to memorize it. I slowly began responding. Hey, keep in mind this was only my third kiss. The first one didn't last long enough for me to have to even decide to take this next step and the second I was too shocked to really do anything. It was like kissing Shane became an addiction. I couldn't get enough of him. Then I realized something that I knew all along, but it finally hit me. This wasn't Scott. I felt like I was cheating on him. Shane sensed something was wrong and pulled away. He leaned his forehead against mine, his breathing ragged.

"What's wrong Lulu?"

"Shane, I'm sorry. I…"

"I know. I'm not Scott Hall."

"Damn it! Shane, the last thing I ever wanted to do is hurt you. I couldn't stand it."

"But then again, you'd hurt yourself pining away for him everyday."

"You don't know what you're talking about! He loves me! He told me so!"

"Then why isn't he here? Why would he let you even get out of that locker room without even saying something?"

"He's not like everyone else. He's quiet with his feelings."

"Lulu, if he loved you, there would not be a day that went by that you'd be unsure of it like you are now. If you were with me, you'd almost become tired of me telling you."

"Well, not everyone is perfect like you McMahon."

"I never claimed to be perfect. I just claimed to be in love."

"Oh my God. Shane..."

"Lulu, I am not saying this to hurt you. I just want you to give me a chance. I know that it will be hard because all you've ever known has been unreciprocated love. Honey, from day one, there will be no doubt in your mind how I feel."

"I don't know. Can I have some time to think about it?"

"Of course. However, by the time I arrive in Calgary, I do hope you'll have an answer for me."

"One week from tonight? I think I can handle that."

"Can you please stay with me tonight?"

"Shane, I don't think that would be a wise thing to do. Besides, I need to make sure all of my stuff is ready to go tomorrow."

"Well, may I please take you to the airport?"

"Sure."

"Thank you. I need to come and get you at 8:00?"

"That'll be fine."

Well, that wasn't what I had expected to happen. I cannot give you an accurate narrative of exactly how I was feeling when I left that room. Part of me couldn't believe what happened. The other part was like "Why not? There's life other than Scott Hall." I had some serious thinking to do. Sleep was the last thing from my mind. At 7:45 on the nose, Shane McMahon appeared at my hotel room door. He was surprisingly perky for him at this ungodly hour. After we arrived at the airport, we sat and talked what seemed like forever. Then when they called my flight to board, I all of a sudden didn't want to go. It wasn't because of the fact why I was going. I could have handled that, but it was the fact that I was leaving Shane. As I was about to walk through the gate, Shane called to me. Unbeknownst to me, I had an unknown visitor that kept watch from a far.

"Lulu!"

"Yea Shane?"

"I know I'm not who you really want to be with. God, I wish I were. I'm just saying entertain the thought of it for me, will ya? Let me try to prepare myself this week for the blow."

"Shane Brandon, I am not as heartless as you are making me out to be here! I wouldn't tell you I was going to think about it, unless I truly was. You've just got to give me some time. I need to realize for myself that there is possibly someone out there that I could be with besides Scott Hall. He's all I've ever known, not all I want to know."

"Tallulah, this (takes my hand and places it over his heart) belongs to you whenever you are ready. Take your time. Just know one thing. I love you. It doesn't take an act of God for me to admit it. Hell, I would shout it from the rooftops if it were okay with you! I'd call you every spare minute of every day to tell you just to make sure you knew."

"Shay…"

"Hey, I know that I probably shouldn't have said that, but I did, and I don't regret it. You need to get on that plane."

"Can you just hold me for a minute?"

"Honey, of course I can."

"Attention all passengers, this is the final boarding call for Flight 203 to Calgary, Alberta, Canada."

"I guess I will see you Monday morning?"

"You can count on it. I may even try to get up there late Sunday evening."

"OK. Tell the guys I will call them once I get there. You take care of yourself mister. You need me, you call me on my cell phone."

"Ditto. One more thing."

With that, he leaned down and gave me a gentle kiss. Then he whispered something I almost didn't pick up.

"I love you Lulu."

"Bye Shane."

After the plane was in the air, I got this sudden urge to call Paul. After a few rings, he picked up. I was about to be in for a big surprise.
