--------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~----------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~------------ --~~~~~
Liz pulls up to Shane's house and turns off the car. She sighs and glances at Shane, who's asleep. She smiles and decides that she has to wake him.
"Shane, Shane, we're home," Liz says softly, shaking him gently.
He groans and yawns.
"Damn I'm sore," he says as he slowly gets out of the car.
"I know you are. That's why I'm going to stay with you," she states, grabbing both their things and following him up the stairs.
"What? You are?" Shane asks, stopping and turning around.
"Yeah, you're sore and I don't want or need you getting hurt, again."
"Aw, You care!" Shane teases, opening the front door.
"Ugh, shut up," Liz argues, stepping inside the dark home.
Liz sets their things down and walks into the kitchen, with Shane following.
"I'm starving," Shane states, sliding into a seat at the counter.
"Do you want me to make you something to eat?" Liz offers.
"Can you?" Shane asks, and Liz nods, "thanks."
"Your welcome Shane-o. Why don't you go change into something more comfortable while I make something to eat."
"Gotcha, and Liz. Thanks. It means a lot to me that you're helping," Shane admits, getting up.
"Don't worry about it," Liz smiles and starts to rummage thru the fridge.
Shane goes upstairs to change as Liz fixes some sandwiches. He walks slowly down the stairs, trying not to move his neck too much. He heads into the kitchen and sees 2 sandwiches out on plates with chips and two beers.
"Liz?" Shane calls out, looking around for her.
"I'm changing, I'll be right out!" She replies from the bathroom.
"Alright," Shane says.
He grabs a plate and heads into the family room and turns on the TV. Liz walks out of the bathroom and grabs her plate and beer and heads into the family room and sits down next to Shane on the couch. They watch The Simpson's while they eat. When they're done eating, they push their plates onto the coffee table and Shane turns to Liz.
"Do you think you can give me one of your famous massages?" Shane asks, giving her the puppy dog eyes, "please."
"You don't have to give me those eyes, I'll give you one. Lay down on the floor," she commands, sliding down to the floor.
He lies down on his stomach and she slides over and puts one leg on each side of him and starts to massage his neck slowly. He groans and then sighs in content. Liz smiles and continues with her massage. A little while later, she slides down to the floor and looks down at him. He rolls over and gazes up at her.
"Thanks so much, that felt extremely good," he says, looking into her chocolate eyes.
"Your welcome," Liz replies, smiling at him.
She stands up and grabs the dishes. Liz heads into the kitchen and loads the dishwasher. When she turns around, Shane is gone.
"Shane?" Liz asks, looking around confused.
She heads into the family room and sees that Shane isn't in there. Suddenly, she hears a noise behind her. She whips around to nothing.
"Shane??" Liz calls out again, getting scared, " this isn't funny!"
She heads into the dining room and then into the living room, then retreating back to the family room. She stands with her back to the kitchen, not noticing Shane sneaking up behind her. She turns around and Shane spears her onto the floor. Liz gasps and looks up.
"Shane! You scared me!" Liz states, slapping his shoulder.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist," Shane chuckles.
Liz now notices that Shane is still on top of her. He smiles down at her and she smiles back. He reaches down and brushes a strand of hair away from her face, then letting his hand linger on her face. He starts to lean down and then she can feel his breath on her cheek. All of a sudden, the phone rings, and Shane sits up and glares at the phone. He curses under his breath and slides over to the phone.
"Yeah?" He answers.
"Whoa, attitude," Stephanie's voice replies.
"Shut it Steph."
"Geez, sorry. Listen, I just called to ask if you and Liz wanted to come over tomorrow. We're going to have a cook-out."
"Hold on, lemme ask Liz."
"She's there?!"
"Yeah, she's going to stay with me so she can help me around the house. Hold on," Shane turns over to Liz, who's sitting up against the couch, " you want to go over to Steph's and Paul's tomorrow for a cook- out?"
"Sure, that would be great!" Liz exclaims happily.
"Steph, we'll be there. Should we bring anything?" Shane asks.
"Just your suits, we'll probably go swimming too."
"Alright, see you tomorrow, about 11?"
"Sounds good. Bye bro."
"Bye."
Shane hangs up and glances at the clock, reading 1:45 am. He yawns and stands up.
"I'm going to head up to bed, you coming?" Shane asks.
Liz's head snaps up and looks at Shane like he has 2 heads.
"What did you say?" She asks staring at him.
"Are you going to go to bed, or stay down here?" He repeats.
"Oh, I think I'll head up too," she replies standing up and walking past him.
They grab their bags and head to their respected rooms. Liz changes into her pjs and slides into her big bed. Shane is already in his bed, staring at the ceiling. He sighs and his mind slips to Liz.
'God she's beautiful,' Shane thinks to himself, 'Wait! I can't think about her like this. She's my best friend. No, I refuse to!'
Shane groans and turns over to his side and then falls into a restless slumber.
*~* Next Day*~*
Liz is sitting at the island eating a bagel and reading the paper. She glances up and smiles at Shane when he walks in.
"Morning sunshine, don't you look lovely," she teases.
"Shut up, I just woke up," he argues, opening a cupboard and grabbing a box of cereal.
"So what time are we going to Steph's?" Liz asks in between bites of her bagel.
"11 and its 9:30 now. I guess I need to get ready after I eat," Shane sighs, sitting down next to Liz.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night, that's all."
"Did you back hurt?"
"No, just not tired, I guess the nap in the car ride did it for me."
"You sure you'll be ok?"
"Yeah, don't worry about little ole me."
"I'm going to head up stairs to get ready."
"Alright."
Liz puts her plate into the sink and heads upstairs. She opens her suitcase and looks inside.
"Now what should I wear?" She asks herself.
She rummages thru it till she finds a decent outfit. It consists of a red tank top with a red skirt. She takes a shower and changes into her outfit, then grabbing her suit and tossing it into a bag. She heads downstairs to see Shane sitting on the couch watching a talk show.
"You ready?" Liz asks, setting down her bag.
"Yeah, lets get going."
They get in the car and head over to Stephanie and Paul's house. Once they arrive, Stephanie is waiting on the front porch.
"Hey guys!" She says, stepping off the porch and down to where they are.
"Hey Steph!" Liz says, giving her friend a hug.
"Hey Liz, Hey Shane-o," Steph says, grabbing Liz's hand, "come on, lets go inside, I have so much to tell you!"
Shane chuckles at the girls and heads into the house behind them.
"Hey Paul, how are you doing?" Shane says, shaking Paul's hand.
"Great," Paul looks over to the giggling females and snorts, "women."
Shane laughs as Paul and him head to the backyard to start the food. Stephanie and Liz go to change into their suits. Shane and Paul are joking around when the girls walk out. Shane glances up and his mouth about drops when he sees Liz. She is wearing a red bikini that shows off her beautiful body. Her hair is up in a French twist, showing off her tan shoulders. Paul laughs and waves his hand in front of Shane's face.
"Earth to Shane, what's wrong?" Paul asks.
"What? Oh sorry, did you say something?" Shane shakes his head, snapping himself out of the trance.
"Never mind," Paul says, laughing at his confused friend.
Liz walks over to one of the chairs by the pool and slides off her shoes and sets her towel down. Shane sneaks up behind her as she has her back turned. He grabs her around the waist and throws her over his shoulder.
"Shane!!" Liz gasps, "Put me down!!"
"Nope, sorry."
Liz squeals as Stephanie and Paul stand there laughing.
"Guys! Help me!" Liz pleads.
Paul and Steph look at each other and smirk. They walk casually over to the two and push Shane with Liz on his shoulder into the pool. They both surface and Shane glares at the two dry people standing there acting innocent.
"I'll kill you two!" Shane shouts at them, trudging over to the steps.
"Awe come on Shane, you look good wet," Liz jokes, swimming over to him, and when he pulls himself up onto the ladder, she pulls him back into the cool water.
Shane surfaces and turns toward Liz who is laughing uncontrollably. She stops as she sees him coming toward her.
"Now Shane, it's just water. Don't do anything rash!" Liz pleads as Shane moves closer towards her.
"Payback's a bitch Lizzie," Shane states as he dives for her, catching her arms, " you don't know when or where, but I'll get you back."
With that, he lets got and climbs out, leaving Liz standing in the middle of the pool. Stephanie laughs and jumps into the pool, joining her. Shane wrings out his shirt and glances up at Paul.
"You got anything that I could wear?" Shane asks, unbuttoning his shirt and tossing it onto a nearby chair, the water glistening off of his chest. Liz turns around and gasps slightly at the sight. Stephanie notices her standing there, gazing up at Shane.
"Earth to Lizzie!" Stephanie states, splashing her, getting her to snap out of her trance.
"What? Oh, sorry," Liz shakes her head and turns back towards Stephanie, " did you say something?"
"Never mind. Come on, I think the guys are ready to eat. Lets go change and get the table set," Stephanie says, pulling herself out of the pool.
Liz and Stephanie go change and then set the table, while the guys get the food ready. When everything's set, all four of them sit down at the table to eat. While they're eating, Stephanie and Paul notice how Shane and Liz seem to brush against each other when they go to grab something. Paul and Stephanie exchange glances and then go back to eating. When they're finished, Paul offers to do the dishes with Stephanie, leaving Shane and Liz alone, on the patio. Shane heads over to the stereo and turns on the radio, Foreigner blaring thru the speakers. Liz giggles and Shane turns to her. He mocks bow and holds his hand out to her.
"My lady, can I have this dance?" He asks, looking up at Liz, who's trying to hold her laughter in.
"Of course dear sir," Liz states, taking his hand as he pulls her into him.
He leads her around the patio as the song flows around them.
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
Shane tightens his grip around her waist as Liz smiles at him and he returns it.
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me
Liz puts her head on his shoulder and sighs in content. Shane smiles
and they continue dancing.
Let's talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah
I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is...
The song ends and they pull apart, still staring at each other. They
don't notice Stephanie and Paul standing inside watching them.
Stephanie turns toward Paul.
"Aren't they cute together?" She asks, leaning against his broad shoulder.
"Yeah, you think they'll ever hook up?" He replies, wrapping his arms around her.
"I hope so, they're perfect for each other."
"Come on, let's join them."
They walk outside and Shane finally looks away. Liz looks down and fidgets with the hem of her shirt. Paul and Stephanie head over to them and Stephanie, throws Liz a look, but Liz ignores it.
"I think we better get going, it's getting late," Shane says finally, breaking the silence.
"I agree. Bye guys, thanks for everything, dinner was excellent!" Liz exclaims, hugging both Paul and Stephanie.
"Bye guys, see you Friday Paul," Shane says, hugging his sister and shaking Paul's hand.
"Bye," both Paul and Stephanie reply.
Shane and Liz head home, and then head up to bed. Shane lies awake, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about Liz. He sighs and turns over, hoping to go to sleep.
*~* Friday at the house show *~*
Shane groans in frustration and slams his pen down. He runs his fingers thru his hair and pushes his chair back. Shane stands up and heads out the door, heading towards the catering area. He steps into the room and looks around. There sitting with Dave (Batista), Ric, Randy, and Paul is Liz. She glances up and smiles, waving Shane over.
"Hey Shane!" Liz exclaims happily, causing everyone to turn to him.
"Hey everyone, mind if I join you?" Shane asks, smiling back at Liz.
"Nope, we don't mind," Ric states, as Shane nods and pulls up a chair next to Liz.
"I thought you had today off," Randy says, taking a sip of his drink.
"Naw, if Liz is here, you know I'm here," Shane says, looking over towards her.
He notices that she has a look of shock on her face. He studies her, then turns towards her gaze. Standing there is Glen, smirking at them. Shane stands up quickly, and Liz does too. She places a hand on his chest, hoping he'll get the message and not do anything rash.
"Oh, hi Shane. Hey there Elizabeth," Glen says, looking Liz up and down.
"What do you want?" Liz asks disgustedly, still holding Shane back.
"You, screaming in pain," Glen spits out, smirking at her reaction.
Shane lunges for Glen, but Paul and Ric hold him back.
"Shane, don't do this, he's not worth it," Ric explains, struggling to keep Shane from pounding Glen.
"Come on Shane, what are you waiting for?" Glen persists, causing Shane to struggle more.
"Shane, please, let it go, for me," Liz states, stepping in front of him.
"Shane, you having a girl stick up for you," Glen laughs, and Liz turns around, glaring at him.
Liz steps up to Glen, staring up at him.
"I should let Shane beat the shit out of you," Liz spits out at him. Placing her hands on her hips.
"He can't do shit to me, I'm unstoppable," Glen explains coolly, smirking down at her, placing his hand on her cheek, "and I can have anything I want, anything. And Shane can't do a damn thing about it."
Liz steps back, never letting her eyes leave him. She finally bumps into Shane, who rips away from Paul and Ric's grasp and stalks up to Glen, grabbing him by the shirt and pulled him down so they were nose to nose.
"You ever touch her again, I will kill you. You got that?" Shane threatens.
Glen scoffs and shoves Shane away, and then walks out of the room, leaving Evolution standing there in shock, Liz scared, and Shane furious.

He notices that she has a look of shock on her face. He studies her, then turns towards her gaze. Standing there is Glen, smirking at them. Shane stands up quickly, and Liz does too. She places a hand on his chest, hoping he'll get the message and not do anything rash.
"Oh, hi Shane. Hey there Elizabeth," Glen says, looking Liz up and down.
"What do you want?" Liz asks disgustedly, still holding Shane back.
"You, screaming in pain," Glen spits out, smirking at her reaction.
Shane lunges for Glen, but Paul and Ric hold him back.
"Shane, don't do this, he's not worth it," Ric explains, struggling to keep Shane from pounding Glen.
"Come on Shane, what are you waiting for?" Glen persists, causing Shane to struggle more.
"Shane, please, let it go, for me," Liz states, stepping in front of him.
"Shane, you having a girl stick up for you," Glen laughs, and Liz turns around, glaring at him.
Liz steps up to Glen, staring up at him.
"I should let Shane beat the shit out of you," Liz spits out at him. Placing her hands on her hips.
"He can't do shit to me, I'm unstoppable," Glen explains coolly, smirking down at her, placing his hand on her cheek, "and I can have anything I want, anything. And Shane can't do a damn thing about it."
Liz steps back, never letting her eyes leave him. She finally bumps into Shane, who rips away from Paul and Ric's grasp and stalks up to Glen, grabbing him by the shirt and pulled him down so they were nose to nose.
"You ever touch her again, I will kill you. You got that?" Shane threatens.
Glen scoffs and shoves Shane away, and then walks out of the room, leaving Evolution standing there in shock, Liz scared, and Shane furious.
