Chris walked backwards up the ramp and he smiled as he heard the crowds cheer for him. He had just won the match that he had, had against Test. Not that it was too hard, he thought, nothing was when you were such a sexy beast! Walking behind the curtain and away from the gorilla, Chris headed down the numerous corridors, turning left and right trying to find his locker room.
"I so don't have time for this," he mumbled lowly to himself. "I have the biggest date of my life and I can't find my fucking locker room! Why in the hell do these corridors have to be the bloody same!"
"Jericho?" A voice to the side asked, making Chris look up and into the curious face of Christian. "Are you alright man?"
"What?" Chris asked in confusion. "I'm fine! Do you know where my locker room is? I can't find it anywhere, and believe me I've been all over this damn place trying to!" he exclaimed, as he watched Christian's face turn from curious into one of amusement.
"Your locker room?" he asked, Chris nodded. "You mean the one with your name on it?" he asked again, causing Chris to roll his eyes, silently saying, 'No dufus, the one with Triple Nose's name on it idiot!'
"Kinda like that one right there?" Christian said, as he pointed to a door which did indeed have Jericho's name on it.
"What in the hell?" Chris exclaimed dumbfoundidly.
"Dude, you have lost it!" Christian informed him with a gruff laugh. "Catch you later though, Christian, Trish make with the smoochies!" he said with a smiles.
"Damn and you say I've lost it! When you start referring to yourself in 3rd person, then it's time for you to go and see somebody! You're a nut!" Chris told him with a chuckle. "Now nut boy, if you'll excuse me!" he said as he left Christian standing there as he entered his locker room.

"Did you see that Kurt? Chris just totally kicked Test's ass so bad! He was on top form!" Stephanie exclaimed happily.
"Stephanie! Would you please just stop already?" Kurt asked tiredly.
"What? What did I do?" she asked in confusion.
"I've had to put up with this, for DAYS!" he shouted while throwing his hands up in the air. "Oh Chris is fine! Damn that man has a body of a God! Do you think we'll enjoy the date? What if I make a fool of myself?" Kurt said as he mimicked Stephanie's statements over the past couple of days. "I get it! You like him! Hell, the whole world knows it for pete's sake! Just give it a rest! Please! For the sake of my sanity!" he begged her.
"OK, fine! Stop your whining you big baby!" she replied jokingly. "But seriously Kurt?" She asked hesitantly.
"What?"
"Do you really think we'll have a good time?"
"Of course you both will! If he doesn't he is mad! You're great OK! Great! Why do think you are my best friend?" Kurt told her.
"Erm, because of my unbelievably good looks and my hypnotic voice?" Stephanie replied, causing Kurt to laugh heartily.
"Well, yeah! Not to sure about the hypnotic voice though! Are you sure we're talking about the same Stephanie McMahon here?" Kurt remarked, only to dodge out of the way as Stephanie tried to him across the back of his head. "But besides that Steph, you're really fun to be around! My life would be boring otherwise, if you and I weren't friends," he told her honestly.
"Aw shucks Kurt! Thanks!" she thanked him as she pulled him into a hug.

Chris was done with his shower, smelling fresh and looking great, if he did say so himself. Now he was ready to go get Stephanie and take her out. Heading over to his locker room door, he opened it only to bump into none other than Christian and Trish.
"Why is it, that everywhere I go I always meet one of you somewhere? Are you stalking me or something?" Chris asked exasperated.
"You wish man! You could only wish to have this following you," Christian told him smugly as he pointed to himself and Trish indicating them as something Chris would never get. "To have this body, you'd kill for it!"
"Yeah, kill for it! I always wondered what it would be like to have breasts! With the size of Trish's just think of the fun I could have! Tell me with the weight you're carrying around, is it easier to bend over than it was before or was that just a perk?" Chris remarked to them.
"Seriously Dude, stop with the Trish insults! It's getting old!" Christian told him with a hint of anger in his voice, while pulling Trish to him.
"Stop being so cocky then you ass-clown, cause you ain't all that! I should know because, I am one of those rare sexy beasts!" Chris exclaimed. "As much as I would love to stand here and have another round of verbal Judo with you, I have a date! So I'll be leaving now!" he said as he did just that, walking away and leaving them standing there, much like he had done earlier to Christian, making his way to Stephanie's locker room.
Finally after ten minutes of searching he found the door he was looking for, and was now standing in front of it.
"Why don't they hand out a bloody map! Lost? If the answer is yes, just look in here and you'll be found in no time! But no, no one ever makes things easy for you!" he again mumbled to himself quietly.
Wiping his suddenly sweaty palms down his black jeans, he then reached up and knocked on the door and after a whole agonising minute the door opened. Stephanie stood in front of him, looking like the million dollars she was worth, in a long black dress, black knee high boots and a three quarter length leather jacket. He himself was also all in black, with his black jeans and buttoned down shirt and also a leather jacket.
"Hey," Chris greeted her.
"Hi," Stephanie replied back.
Silence, descended upon them for a few uncomfortable minutes.
"So..." They both started together. Then stared laughing at how juvenile they were acting, but it realised them from the silence that they were in and got rid of the nerves they had, had.
"You look really nice Steph," Chris complimented her.
"Thank you, we match," she pointed out, causing them to laugh again.
"Well, what can I say, great minds sure do thing alike," he said. "Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yeah I am, where are we going?"
"There's a little Italian restaurant near here. I've been before and it's really good," Chris told her. "You do like Italian food don't you?" he asked as an after thought.
"Yes, I do it's my favourite actually," Stephanie informed him.
"That's good, I'll keep that in mind for future reference," Chris exclaimed as he relaxed just a bit. "So lets go," he told her as he held out his hand for hers, Stephanie smiled softly, then placed her hand in his and they then made there way out of the arena.

Forty-five minutes later, they pulled up into the parking lot of the restaurant, called 'Quakers'. It was an out of the way, quaint, little place. Walking from the car, and up into the building, Stephanie took in her surroundings, it was small but not that small that everyone was cramped together, and the lighting was dim, giving a romantic effect to the whole room, and there ween't a lot of people there. Just a few odd people scattered about who seemed to be enjoying their meals. They were seated almost immediately, being given a table for two in a secluded area of the room, away from the others.
"The restaurant is lovely Chris, thank you for bringing me here," Stephanie complimented him on his choice, causing Chris to smile across the table at her.
"I'm glad you like it, I wasn't sure but...." He got out before being interrupted by the waiter approaching their table.
"Senior, Bella here are your menus," he said in a thick Italian accent, while handing them their menus. "If you need me, I will just be over here," he explained before he walked away.
After looking over there menus, they settled them down on the table.
"Did you see anything that you wanted?" Chris asked her.
"Yeah, I'll have the Chicken Primvera, topped with mozzarella cheese and with a side order of salad with Italian dressing," she told him.
"Good choice."
When the waiter came over Chris ordered their meal, the Chicken Primvera for Stephanie and the Baked Spaghetti, also with a side salad with breadsticks for himself. While waiting for their meal to come, they talked about their likes and dislikes, and surprisingly found they had things in common with each other, other than their love for the wrestling business, like their favourite actor was Jack Nicholson and their favourite city to visit was none other than Boston. They did disagree on there preferred type of music and sports, Chris's were Rock and Hockey, whereas Stephanie's were Soul and Football. So they agreed to disagree on those particular subjects. When their food finally arrived they ate in silence, not that it was an uncomfortable silence, they were just enjoying their food too much that they couldn't help but not talk. Afterwards both their plates were empty.
"Damn, now that was some good food!" Chris told her, stuffed.
"Yeah, I have to admit that, was without a shadow of a doubt the best Chicken Primvera I have ever had," Stephanie said.
"Thank the Lord! The Princess actually liked something that I, Chris Jericho did! Is this a first?" he replied jokingly, causing Stephanie to laugh. "Oh my God another first ladies and gentlemen, I made her laugh! Woohoo, I am the man! Oh yeah, uh huh!" which only succeeded in making her laugh more.
"You never know Chris, there is a first time for everything and I'm sure this won't be the last firsts we'll ever have, that is if you want to do this again?" Stephanie asked coyly.
"Of course I would like to do this again, I've had a great time! You're about the only woman in the business that I respect! Name calling aside, which I only did to get a rise from the fans by the way. I don't hate you, I never have, you're like a mystery to me and I'm dying to figure you out," he told her truthfully.
"Wow, that was sappy! I didn't know you had it in you Chris," she told him.
"Neither did I, but hey it the truth Stephy, believe it or not. So could you go for a dessert?" Watching her shake her head no, Chris smiled. "Good neither could I, let me get the bill."
After paying for the meal, they left the restaurant and headed back to Chris's car and were on their way back to the hotel. Weaving their way through the traffic they arrived an hour later making their way into the hotel parking lot, parking the car and then Chris walked Stephanie to her room.
"Tonight was great Chris, I'm glad we went out," Stephanie told him as they came to a stop in front of her hotel door.
"I'm just glad that I actually asked you, and that you finally said yes," he told her with a smile. "I'd kiss you right now, if I wasn't afraid I'd get one of your bitch slaps across the face."
"Well, even though it wouldn't be the first kiss we've ever had, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't object this time." Stephanie explained, causing Chris to smile and lean in capturing Stephanie's lips with his. Seconds later he pulled away, breathless.
"Well, I'll be, that was damn good!" he exclaimed.
"Uh huh," Stephanie muttered, causing Chris to look at her and noticed the glazed look in her eye's.
"Can we do this again?" Chris asked.
"What kiss?
"No, go out? Then maybe we'll see about the kiss. What do you say?"
"I'd love to Chris," Stephanie told him honestly.
"Good, well I'll say goodnight and see you real soon," he said as he slowly moved backwards and then round a corner disappearing from Stephanie's sight.
"Goodnight Chris." Stephanie whispered as she opened her door and also disappeared behind her door.
