A few hours later, everyone met up at the airport. The entire time while they were waiting on their flight, Shane was holding Lulu's hand. Every once in a while Lulu would catch a few members of the roster glancing at her and Shane. Finally, Lulu had all that she could stand, and went over and sat by herself away from everyone else. It's not that she gave a damn what everyone thought, she never did. However, it was the fact that the few people's opinions that she gave a damn about were sure to be altered by the latest change of events. She sat in one of the chairs, with her knees pulled up to her chest, trying to keep these new found tears from spilling over her cheeks. The next thing she knew, Nora Greenwald, a.k.a. Molly Holly was over in front of her leaning over in front of her seat.
"Are you alright sweetie?"
"I'm okay. I just feel like I have 40 sets of eyes on me watching every move I make like they are just waiting on me to do something wrong."
"I take it this has to do with everything that has happened over this past week huh?"
"Yea."
"You want to talk about it?"
"You know, actually I would. I have never really had a girlfriend that I could talk to stuff about. I have always been around my guys, but everything that goes on, has something to do with at least one of them. I would love to have someone who isn't going to run back to the other 3 telling them what I said."
"There are very few divas you can trust in the locker room, but if something is told to me in confidence it will stay that way."
"Well, it starts like this…"
Nora sat there, just listening. Occasionally she would nod her head, or pat Lulu's hand. After Lulu finished spilling her guts, a few tears were slipping down her cheeks.
"Honey, I wish there was something I could do to help you decide what you want, but ultimately it's your decision. It sounds as if to me Shane makes you happy, and you do have feelings for him. He's willing to wait on you, for crying out loud. However, you still have feelings for Scott that have gone on for a long time. If you decide to try things with Shane, I think he'd understand that it may take a while for you to not think of Scott in a romantic way, if that ever happens. Yet, if you decide to end things with Shane here and now, and try to finally be with Scott, there are things that you have to realize. Yes, you two may have slept together, and you may be head over heels in love with each other, but as you told him when you two first said how you felt, if you try anything now, it will be thrown up in the middle of his divorce, and the last thing I know you want to do is hurt him in any way, whether it be his kids or anything else. Truly though, you need to decide what is best for Lulu. Whether you choose either one of them, or choose to be by yourself, you will have to live with it, no matter what the outcome."
"You know you have helped me. Bret told me that I helped him while I was here. However, I didn't understand how until now. Thank you."
"Any time you need a female ear, you holler at me and I will be there. I hate to chat and run right now, but I really have to go to the bathroom. However, don't think I have disappeared."
"OK."
When Nora tries to make it to the bathroom, she runs into a brick wall and is none too politely put on her ass. She looks up to see the person that put her in this predicament, and finds the worried eyes of Shane McMahon looking back at her.
"Nora, I am so sorry. I wasn't even looking where I was going."
"It's ok. I'm fine. I've took worse bumps than this so you are fine."
"Good. Listen, by chance have you seen Lulu? She's disappeared and no one knows where she is."
"Actually, she is right over there in one of those chairs. She and I talked for a minute, and I was on my way to the restroom when you ran me over."
"I'm sorry. Thank you for helping me."
"Not a problem. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to…"
"Sure go ahead. I'll watch where I am going next time."
Shane moved past Nora in an attempt to find Lulu. He was worried when he couldn't find her, seeing as that the last few days; she surely hadn't been the Lulu everyone was used to. As he rounded the corner, he saw her sitting in the exact same position as she had been the entire time since Nora had found her. She had a far away look in her eyes, which was the signal that she was deep in thought. He wanted to go over there and be there for her if she needed him. He went over, crouched down in front of her, and took her hands in his. She looked at him, her eyes filled with pain, sadness, and indecision. At that moment, he wanted to take her in his arms and make the world disappear.
"Hey gorgeous. You ok?"
"I'm better than I was thanks to Nora."
"You've been crying…are you sure?"
"Yea. I am just ready to get on this plane and go home for a few days."
"I bet. I wanted to ask you a question, but I am not sure how you would take to it."
"Ok. Ask away."
"Would you be ok if I came and stayed a few days with you in TX?"
"Shane, you don't have to worry about me…"
"I always worry, even when there's seemingly nothing to worry about. I'll even sleep on the couch!"
"There is no way in hell you are sleeping on my couch."
"I would if that meant you would believe me when I say I wouldn't try anything with you."
"I know you wouldn't. But if you did, you know you would have something in common with John Wayne Bobbitt. Seeing as that we do have a show in TX next week, it would seem feasible that you could already by down there."
"All I have to really do in CT is drop off the dirty clothes and exchange them. I can get dad's maid to do them for me, and pick them up when I come back. Plus I really want some blue jeans to wear right about now."
"You rarely wear jeans. Just don't expect me to make room in my closet for you buddy. I have enough clothes in there as is."
"So does this mean yes? You're allowing me to come and stay with you?"
"I warn you, my dog doesn't like strange men."
"Are you saying I am strange?"
"Honey, tell me you aren't."
"You just called me honey."
"Yea I did, didn't I?"
On the entire flight Shane held Lulu in his arms. She finally slept at least for an hour and a half. Then she told Shane that she needed to talk to him once he arrived in San Antonio. There was one fear she had about Shane coming to San Antonio. It wasn't the fact that he was coming; it was who was going to be more than likely dropping by for a visit while he was there. Scott had flown back to San Antonio on his own late yesterday evening, which meant he was already home. Lulu still had a connector flight to catch before she even thought about being home. He knew she was going to be home Wednesday, and wanted to stop by and see her. Lulu knew that he would, because when they fought in the past, she would occasionally receive a visit. Once they finally landed in Kansas City, everyone was quick to get to their gates and leave seeing as that no one wanted to come back to Kansas City for a while. The McMahons stayed behind to make sure that everyone got on their planes ok, seeing as that they had their private jet waiting to take them back to Connecticut. Lulu's flight was the last to leave. When they announced that her flight was boarding, Shane held her a bit tighter. He turned her so she would face him.
"I will see you tomorrow okay?"
"Till tomorrow."
"If you need me, I will be at Mom and Dad's, or you can call the cell phone."
"OK. Do I have permission to call you if I can't sleep?"
"If you didn't, I would raise hell and you know it. I'll call you later."
"OK."
"Tallulah, I love you."
"I'm getting there honey."
