Kevin sighed and looked like he was searching for what to say. The way that he was acting, I started to get worried. "Well, I have no idea. Are you sure you don't know? "Gee Kev, you're a lot of help! NO I have no idea! I wouldn't be asking you if I had an idea would I?" I practically yell at him. "Ok, ok chill. Just asking here."
We are still friends in a way, and we used to travel together but we haven't spent a lot of time with each other in the past year. Ever since he and the Princess started their little thing off screen he has pretty much abandoned spending time with me or Shawn or anyone whose last name is not McMahon. If he's not with Stephanie, he's usually tagging along behind Vince. Everyone on the roster has steered pretty clear of him because of his connection to management. He's not totally shut out, but no one goes out of their way to include him."
"Like Mark said this morning, The Princess and her daddy pretty much keep the guy on a short leash, telling him when to jump and how high. Plus the relationship has effected his career in some ways he never counted on. Couple all of that with the fact that he has started to believe too much of his own hype, I guess he figured that you would be an easy target to vent his frustration on seeing that you are new around here and know only me and Trish."
"Ok, I hear what you are saying, but it can't be just that, that's just insane! I mean that would be the most pathetic reason ever. Steph pretty much castrates the guy so he tries to dominate some woman he doesn't even know so that he can be more of a man? That has to be the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. He made his own bed now he needs to lie in it." After that I let the conversation about Paul drop. It was kind of sad, and I kind of felt sorry for the guy. Kevin and I spent another couple of hours talking about different things including the possibility of me traveling on the road with them for a while since I was in-between jobs currently. I ushered him out of my room at 3am promising him that I would think about it. I needed a little sleep before I made the decision.
I am woken out of a deep sleep the next morning by a ringing telephone. I roll over to reach for the phone glancing at the clock which tells me that it is 8:30am. Uhhh it's way too early to have to put together any type of rational thought. Who ever this is better have a really good reason for being awake this early. I'm pretty sure that it's not Kevin or Trish, they would definitely know better than to show up at my door this early. The have learned that I don't like to be woken up. I pick up the receiver, and sleepily say hello. On the other end of the line, I hear Shawn's sexy southern drawl.
"Morning sleeping beauty. Get that cute little butt of yours out of bed and open the door" Shawn purrs and hangs up the phone. I briefly consider turning over and going back to sleep. Who am I kidding? I couldn't do that. I really wanted to see Shawn! I jump out of bed and head for the door. As soon as I open the door, Shawn walks right past me into the room. "Darlin' do you always sleep the sleep of the dead? I stood outside banging on your door for about ten minutes." He says as he lies down on the bed and looks up at me like a naughty little boy.
"Gee Shawn come on in and make yourself at home" I say as I lay back down on the bed. "Thank ya. I think I will," he says as he reaches over and pulls me into his arms. "What's wrong. I stood out in the hall knocking on the door forever. Did you not hear me or were you ignoring me?" I love the feeling of snuggling with him so I move even closer to him as I answer, "I honestly didn't hear you. Kev came by after you left last night, and we talked until three this morning."
"I'm sorry that I woke you up so early. I wanted to see if you were hungry, but if I had known you had been up so late I would have let you sleep. So what did you guys talk about?" He asks as he gently strokes my hair. I yawn; um it feels really good to lay here with Shawn like this. "We talked about a little of everything. We talked about Paul and why he always looks so miserable. We talked about you and me, he saw us kissing earlier last night and asked me what it was about." "What did he say?" Shawn asks glancing down at me. "Oh nothing. I told him what we decided earlier--that we were just going to get to know each other, and see where that went. He said that he knew he couldn't stop it if something was going to happen with us. He just gave me the usual big brother speech of be careful and not to share any details with him." "Sounds fair enough. I was thinking about talking with him about it sometime today as well. I feel like I need to since you are his sister and all." Shawn says as he kicks off his shoes and gets more comfortable. "And we discussed the possibility of me going on the road with you guys for a while since I don't have a job right now." I say and glance up at Shawn to see what his reaction would be. "That sounds like an excellent idea" Shawn agrees giving me a quick squeeze. Shawn and I spent the rest of the morning in bed relaxing, watching TV and of course stealing kisses here and there.
Since we were in Houston, Mark Calloway had invited everyone to his ranch for a barbecue that afternoon. Trish and Kevin were meeting me at my room and then we were going to head to the ranch. Shawn decided to hang around my room and watch TV while I showered and got ready to go. I couldn't help but tease Shawn a little just to see how far he would let me go. You know little things nothing too blatant; I would just tease him a little here and there to test his resolve. By the time that Trish and Kevin knocked on the door Shawn was trying to grab me and throw me over his knee. Luckily I was able to prevent that by opening the door to let Kevin and Trish in.
"Ahh. Help me! Help me!" I laugh while Shawn is still trying to grab me from behind. "No! I told you I don't know what you two do on your own time!" Kev grumbled. "God! Who peed in your cereal this morning? What's the matter grumpy? Nothing happened this morning. Everybody's hands stayed above the waist." With that I turned away from Kevin and Shawn to talk to Trish who was standing by the door laughing. We all stood there for a few minutes talking and then left the room to make the drive to Mark's ranch.
AN: OK guys short chapter. Just wanted to open up a few possibilities. Is Kev right about Paul's attitude toward Vicks or is there more to it?
Thanks for the reviews. If there is something or someone you would like to see let me know and I will give you full credit for your idea. Hope you enjoy!
