Never Say Never
Chapter Eight
It was the day after Wrestlemania and Lorelei was getting a kick out of watching Paul. He'd actually hurt his shoulder the night before, but he refused to let her help him. He was trying to button up his shirt one handed. "How come these damned things are so much easier to unbutton?" Paul asked frustrated.
"If you'd let me help then it wouldn't take this long," Lorelei told him. She was trying hard not to laugh at him but if this kept up she wasn't going to succeed.
"If you help we'll never get out of here," Paul said.
"Hey, it's not my mind that's in the gutter. We have to be to the arena in forty five minutes and we get McDonalds today," Lorelei told him. He was usually pretty good about eating healthy, so McDonalds was generally a no-no.
"You and junk food. I swear I've found more junk food around the house since we got married than I've ever had," Paul said laughing.
"I'm not that bad. It's just a little bit of chocolate," Lorelei said, "and Starburst jelly beans."
"And a million other things," Paul said.
"Pringles are so not junk food, neither are peanut butter crackers," Lorelei countered as she began laughing at the absurdity of the conversation. The laughter was contagious, and Paul began to laugh also. Lorelei decided at that moment she was going to hear him laugh a lot more. "Are you going to let me help you or not?" Lorelei asked.
"No," Paul replied stubbornly.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Thirty five minutes later Paul and Lorelei walked to the arena with McDonalds in their hands. Randy was the first to see them and just about laughed. He'd never seen Paul eat McDonald's. "Dude how'd you get that?" he asked.
"I'm not a dude. I told him I was going to get some so he did too," Lorelei said.
They hung out in the locker room since there wasn't much else to do. Lorelei also didn't care to much for the idea of running into Stephanie again. She did kind of want to see her handy work. 'Steph's probably been able to cover it up already,' she told herself with a touch of disappointment. She wished she would have been able to see what went on.
"To bad you missed what you did to Steph," Ric said. "I already saw her and make up covered whatever was left of the bruise."
"Yeah, Paul told me about it. She deserved it though. She hit me first," Lorelei said. "I bet I could take her in a real fight any day."
"Paul you have no idea what you've got yourself into do you?" Dave asked. The woman standing in front of him was amazing. She was the right balance for Paul.
"I'll never know what I got into. When are you going to bring Angie on the road again?" Paul asked.
"I don't know, but I think your wife will be a bad influence on her when she does," Dave said laughing.
"Hey, I'm not a bad influence on anyone. I can see I'm not appreciated her so I'm gonna go find Shawn and see if he has those pictures of Cam," Lorelei said. She gave Paul a little kiss before exiting the locker room.
"You really like her don't you?" Ric asked seeing the look on the younger man's face.
"I don't know. I mean I barely know her, but I like her more than I ever did Stephanie. Seeing her stand up for herself the way she did last week, and seeing her the first time you met her was like seeing to different people," Paul said. "She's so confusing. This morning she had be laughing over something as stupid as what was and wasn't considered junk food."
"Face it, there's something about her that you like. You stayed with Stephanie as long as you did because you had power. With Lorelei you don't have power. I doubt she lets you control her. You're staying with her because there is something more," Ric said.
Ric's thoughts put a new prospective on it for Paul. In a way he was right. He wouldn't admit it, but he was. There was something more attractive about Lorelei than the physical. There was something that was keeping his interest longer than most women had.
"Anyway we only have an interview tonight right?" Paul asked changing the subject.
"You only have an interview, by the way how's your shoulder?" Ric asked.
"It hurts like hell," Paul said. "You know how hart it is to button buttons with only one hand?"
Ric only laughed at him before telling him about the match that the rest of Evolution had with Shawn and Chris.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It didn't take Lorelei long to find Shawn. It seemed that he was pretty easy to find. Well most of the time.
He was talking about his match tonight. She couldn't help but to sneak up behind him and unsuccessfully try to scare him.
"Lori, what are you doing here?" Shawn asked.
"Shawn how many times do I have to tell you not to call me that?" Lorelei asked. "It's not like I know a lot of other people to hang around with, and you promised me pictures of Cam."
"I don't have any with me right now. I need to introduce you to some new people so that everyone doesn't think I have acquired a stalker," Shawn teased.
"You're busy, I'll let you get back to going over your match, I'm presuming," Lorelei said. "I think I might be able to find the diva's locker room and hopefully find out some embarrassing stories."
Lorelei couldn't help but laugh. She did let him get back to his conversation and she set out to find the diva's locker room. Paul would probably like it better if she at least hung out with some of the girls anyway. She wasn't going to always hang out with them, but some battles just didn't need to be fought. It was more picking and choosing.
She knocked on the door hoping that someone like maybe Lita aka Amy would answer. She'd met the redheaded diva once last week while hanging out with Shawn.
Sure enough Amy did answer the door. "I know you. You were hanging out with Shawn last week weren't you?" Amy asked.
"Yeah. I thought I'd be around a lot so I might as well meet some of the girls," Lorelei told her.
"I'm sorry, I forgot your name. I'm really bad with names," Amy said.
"Lorelei," she told Amy. Lorelei again didn't want any of the weird reactions she'd been getting from the guys lately. She thought that a few of them saw her and Paul's little display of affection after the Stephanie incident last week and that was causing the funny behavior, but she wasn't sure.
She was invited in and met many of the Raw diva's. There were a couple, like Miss Jackie and Stacy that rubbed her the wrong way so to speak, but the were mostly pretty nice. She stayed in there talking, mostly to Amy and Trish for a while.
Amy and Trish noticed the wedding band on Lorelei's finger and pulled her aside. They'd heard about the previous week's incident both with Stephanie and after. She told them most of the story seeing as Lorelei and Stephanie had fought almost right in front of the women's locker room the week before the knew a little bit of it.
Lorelei was relieved when Amy and Trish didn't have the same reactions as everyone else who knew, except the guys of Evolution and Shawn. It was nice for once to have some female companionship. She hadn't had a lot of girlfriends in high school because her father didn't want her to turn out like them. He thought that all females were just property and should be in the house cooking, cleaning, and the like. It got really old really fast.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Paul was getting anxious. He hadn't seen Lorelei in a while. For the better part of a couple hours at least. The show was about to start and he wanted to get out of here as fast as possible after his segment at the top of the show. He didn't want any more incidents between Steph and Lorelei. The less they were in the same building the better.
"Chill she'll come back. She probably went to see the girls or something," Randy said. "Or go look for her or something, but you're driving me insane."
Paul decided he should do just that. She had said at one point she was going to go find Shawn and he knew he would have to have a civilized conversation wit the man to get the whereabouts of his lovely wife out of him.
It had gone surprisingly well with Shawn. Paul figured he knew the extent of Lorelei's temper too, considering he'd kept his own in check. Paul did find out that she had said something about seeing the girls.
Paul looked at the Diva's locker room door. It wasn't often that he had had reason to knock on the door, and almost felt funny doing so. It was total unknown territory for him. He knocked.
"I bet ten bucks it's Paul," a voice he immediately recognized as Lorelei's said.
He couldn't help but to laugh as he heard the giggling from inside. Amy opened the door. "Damn," she mumbled. "Hi, welcome to our humble locker room."
"I think I've set a record. Two smiles in one day," Lorelei joked. "I'll talk to you guys later."
Lorelei hung out in the Evolution locker room while he did his segment and then the couple headed back to the hotel.
