After several days in the hospital and a few days of rest, Amy headed back out on the road with the Raw roster, per Vince's request. If an athlete's injuries aren't too serious, Vince prefers that the injured person continue to tour and observe from backstage, just to stay on top of storylines and not get too used to the comforts of home.
Coincidently, Shane was also on the road a lot more, especially at Raw tapings. When asked about his more frequent appearances backstage he's response was always the same.
"Just here to help my pops out."
Hanging out backstage and not being able to perform for Amy was almost like torture. She hated not being out there with the other wrestlers. She did her best though to keep a good attitude. Although she did remain somewhat aloof around some of the other divas, she was glad to at least give moral support to her closest friends Molly, Adam, Jay and a few others. But when they were called on to perform, she was pretty much left to wander aimlessly and alone. Shane would change that though.
"Yo Amy."
Amy turned to see Shane as he approached her. Ever since his little visit at the hospital, Amy couldn't quite get Shane McMahon out of her mind. Something in their relationship had definitely changed ever since that day.
"Hi Shane, what's up?"
"Just business. More importantly, what's up with you. You look lost." Shane teased.
Amy rolled her eyes.
"Nah, just wish I could be out there in the ring where I belong."
"It's true, that is where you belong." Shane replied and then there was an awkward moment of silence.
"Hey, why don't we watch the action from the owner's box. They're awesome seats and there's lots of fringe benefits up there if you know what I mean." Shane elbowed Amy playfully on the arm making her giggle.
"What the hell. I'm not doing a whole lot of good here just walking around right?" Amy replied, smiling at the young McMahon heir.
Shane smiled back, winked at her and then led her away.
When Shane and Amy made it up to the owner's box, the area was empty, just as Shane had hoped, and in a way, knew that it would be.
As Amy looked around she was amazed at the posh interior, the leather seats and off to the corner, a full bar. Shane watched as eyes Amy's eyes wandered in that direction.
"See what I mean by fringe benefits?" He said.
Amy nodded. She was astounded at how rich people could really just sit around and spoil themselves. Even though she personally could never see herself living that kind of life style, hanging out with Shane could definitely be fun at least for the time being. Good, harmless fun.
"Shall we?" Shane asked as he pointed in the direction of the bar.
"No Shane I can't. Technically, I'm on the clock." Amy returned.
"Hey, you're with me. I own a lot of stock in this company. Just one drink to help you relax." Shane said trying hard to convince Amy to share a drink with him.
She finally agreed, thinking to herself, what harm could one drink do?
Shane poured himself a scotch on the rocks, while for Amy he poured a glass of wine. Even though she was more of a beer drinking kind of gal, Amy went ahead and accepted the wine.
As the two took a seat and watched the action from high above the ring, the smell of Shane's cologne was driving Amy insane. She sipped her wine slowly for fear if she drank too quickly, her ability to make good decision might fail her.
Shane one the other hand didn't much care. As far as he was concerned he wanted Amy to drink a little faster. He certainly wasn't paying much attention to the action in the ring and thought if he didn't make some kind of move on Amy and soon, he'd have to take a long cold shower.
"You know Amy, Vince and Steph have been very impressed with you recently. You seem to have handled the whole Matt thing quite well." Shane said, breaking up another moment of awkward silence.
Amy couldn't believe Shane even brought up Matt's name. That's the last thing she wanted to talk about, especially to her boss.
"Well, it hasn't been easy I'll just put it that way. I really did love Matt." Amy replied.
"And what about Adam?"
Again, if it were anyone else besides Shane, Amy would have told him to fuck off. She hated people prying into her personal business.
"What about Adam? He's a great guy, what can I say. Doesn't change the fact I made a huge mistake. You mind if we talk about something else?" Amy asked as politely as possible.
Shane smiled at her. He felt completely in control and almost enjoyed seeing Amy squirm a little. He wanted excitement in his life, and he was starting to get it.
As Shane noticed Amy's drink now half full, he was quick to refill it. While pouring some into her glass, he made sure to aim not entirely for the center, causing a few drops to spill on Amy's lap.
"Oh shit, I'm sorry." He said, trying to be sincere.
Amy tried to wipe away the wine, but Shane was quick to grab a washcloth and tap her lap gently with his hand.
"There you go." He said.
As Amy looked up at him, he was staring a hole right through her. She turned away, fearing that if their eyes met for too long, she would be unable to fight the urge to take his lips into hers.
Shane had the same idea because as soon as she turned away, he grabbed her chin with his fingers and let his lips descend on hers. There was no fighting it on her part and the two let their tongues dance together in perfect harmony.
