Author's Notes - Guess who's back? Oh yeah! It's me and I've FINALLY updated this fic in what must seem like forever. Sorry for those of you who really like this fic and want me to update it more often, I've had some computer and creative issues as of late, but I'm starting to get back into the 'writing groove'. I'm actually starting to find my 'muses' for this fic again so expect more updates for this one in the future.
Alright, here is the much awaited fourth chapter for To Be With You. I hope you all enjoy it. And please review, I'd really like to know what you think of what I'm doing with this fic. And, if more of you review, and I know you like it, I'll be even more inspired to write more!
Also, if anyone has any ideas or challenges for fics, go ahead and send them to me, I'm looking for something new and different to write.

Disclaimer- I do not own the WWE, their superstars, Stephanie McMahon, Paul Levesque, or anyone else in this fic. I have a mortal fear of lawyers so please don't sue me. This is just for fun.
Wonderful Night
"You know Steph, no matter how much you keep staring at that door he's not going to walk through it." Chris Irving said shocking Stephanie out of her daze.
"Huh? Who?" She said smiling while looking back at Chris.
"Paul," Chris shrugged, "you keep looking at the door, almost expecting to see him come in and beat me to a pulp." Stephanie sighed and looked down, this man knew her better than she thought.
"I'm so sorry Chris. I must be a horrible date, it's just that..."
"I understand, it's new and not matter how badly Paul treated you and despite the fact that you left him, you still have feelings for him." Chris smiled and took her hand from across the table, "And no Stephanie, you've been a wonderful date."
"Really?" She asked smiling slightly.
"Really."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I mean, did I really mean that little to her that she could go out on a date so soon?" Paul asked burying his face in his hands.
"No," Shawn said, "that woman loved you to no end. But you messed that up and now she's trying to get on with her life."
"Gee, thanks." Paul scoffed. "Is everything my fault?"
"Yes."
"I should have gone to Kevin."
"And what good would that have done you?" Shawn laughed. "He would sympathise with you buy you a few drinks, and try to make you feel better about being the ass that you are. But none of that will erase the fact that Stephanie is out on a date with a new guy."
"And Chris Irving no less!" Paul yelled in outrage. "Of all the guys in the company, why did she have to go out with him?"
"Because he likes her." Shawn offered. "And he has waited for a long time for you two to break up and he sure as hell won't make the same mistakes that you did."
"Not helping Shawn!" Paul sighed while hitting his head on the table.
"Yes I am buddy." Shawn got up and tried to stop Paul from hitting his head again while attempting to contain his laughter. "I'm telling it to you like it is. And weather you like it or not, it is helping." Paul sat there with his head on the table silently for a few minutes thinking of everything his friend had said. Slowly he sat up with a sad look on his face.
"What am I going to do?" He asked. "How am I supposed to show her I love her, I need her, if she won't hear me out?"
"You make her listen," Shawn said seriously, "You do something that she can't possiblly ignore."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Thank you Chris." Stephanie said as the two reached her hotel room. "You've been really wonderful about everything, even if I wasn't that great of a date."
"Stephanie, you were a wonderful date," Chris said flashing his killer smile, "and if you keep talking like that, I might reconsider asking you to go out on a second date."
"You want to go out on a second date?" Stephanie asked shyly.
"Yes, I do." Chris smiled as he watched Stephanie blush. "So would you like to go out again?" Chris looked at her hopefully.
"I'd really like that." Chris' face lit up.
"Great. Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow and we'll plan something." Chris leaned over and gave Stephanie a soft kiss on the cheek. "Sweet dreams Princess."
"Good night Chris." Stephanie said not bothering to hide her huge smile. Chris gentlly kissed her hand and turned and walked down the hall to the elevator as Stephanie went into her room and picked up her cellphone.
"Oh my gosh, Amy." She giggled into the phone. "I had the most amazing night."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Later that night Paul lie awake in the bed that he and Stephanie had shared just a few days earlier thinking of what his friend had said just a few hours earlier.
"Something that she can't possibly ignore." He repeated to himself pondering what he could do when an idea came upon him. "That's it," he cheered, "she won't possibly be able to ignore that!" And with that he sat up and bolted over to the desk and began to write down his new plan to get Stephanie back.
