CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Date: February 14, 2005

Day: Monday

Dear Diary,

I don't have much time to write tonight, so I have to make this entry short and sweet. The plan went over better than I expected. What can I say? With the help of an evil genius like Daddy, anything can happen! I was so nervous when I went out there on Raw tonight. I was nervous that Chris wouldn't forgive me, that he would reject me... But he didn't, and I'm elated about that! I was especially worried after I told him that I loved him and he just stood there looking shocked. I can't believe I said I would get on my knees and beg... The old Chris Jericho totally would've made some kind of snide comment about me always on my knees to please my customers or something... God, I would've died if he'd said that out there!

When we finally stopped kissing on the ramp, I looked at Hunter still sitting in the middle of the ring and actually felt kind of bad for him. I mean, it's Valentine's Day, and he didn't have a date. Who knows where Trish was? So Chris and I looked at each other, and I guess we had the same thought in mind... We went down to the ring and gave him the roses and the candy that I bought for Chris. I guess we both felt this overwhelming pity for him. He looked so sad and lonely! "And who wouldn't be all sad and lonely when they lost their chance with you?" Chris asked me when we were on our way backstage...

Everyone backstage complimented us, saying they knew we were going to get together one of these days. They were like, "We knew you two loved each other!" I was like, "Then why the hell didn't one of you assclowns tell us? Could've saved us a lot of time!" But of course I was only joking, because I already knew. From the day I met him, I knew that he was going to be someone special in my life. Of course, when he called me "slut" and "whore" and all those names, I wondered if I was wrong about what I felt for him, but it's been proven now that I was right from the beginning.

I shouldn't have doubted myself. I'm a McMahon... We're always right...

Oh, Chris should be coming out of the bathroom soon. We're going to go have dinner at some fancy restaurant as soon as he finishes his shower. He says he has a surprise for me, but I don't know what it is yet. I'm so excited, I can't wait! When we got back here to his locker room, he left the arena for like thirty minutes, and then he came back and he was positively glowing... He's up to something. I can feel it...

I love him so much! I wonder if he noticed me talking about marriage tonight? Did he pick up on those subtle hints I kept dropping? I hope so...

Until Next Time (whenever next time might be),

Steph

P.S. This might be my last entry for a while... But that's only because I'll probably have Chris to keep me busy at night...
