Chapter 9 : A New Friend and A Teddy Bear

So it had been three weeks since my brother had arrived. I figured out that he was here because he was planning on opening one of his clubs here and he was checking out places to keep it. We were having a great time and I was happy he was with me….especially now. Chris hadn't called me since the night out we had and I was sad but also a bit angry. I didn't understand because I had an awesome time and by the kiss at the end of the night I thought he had a good time too. I would call him, but he never gave it to me and I didn't ask because I thought he would call me. Anyways, work was going good. I was loving it and Shane was very nice and after last night I found out that he is hilarious. We went out to dinner to celebrate me working there for about a month.

Today I got ready for work with my usual ritual. Today I picked out a great pair of jeans that I just purchased that fit me not too tight and not too loose. I wore a pale yellow button up blouse under a cropped jean jacket with my hair in a ponytail. I slipped on my gold pumps and grabbed my purse. Lately, my brother had been taking me to work so he can use the car to scope out possible spots for his club. After he dropped me off, I walked into the office and saw Triple H himself, Paul Levesque, who I had met a few times in the past few weeks. I smiled as I walked over to my desk.

"Hello Paul. How are you?" I asked as I sat down.

"I'm doing fine. And yourself?" He asked with a smile of his own.

"Doing pretty good. Thanks." I said and started up my computer. I looked up and saw that he was right in front of my desk.

"That's good." He said and looked right into my eyes. I had heard that Paul and Stephanie McMahon were together but after talking to Paul, he told me that they weren't. (A/N: In this story, Stephanie is pregnant)

"Yes." I said then looked at Shane's schedule for the day to see when Paul's meeting was. I saw that it was for 10:00 which meant that he was here an hour and a half early. "Can I ask why you are here so early?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to you." He said and flashed me a killer smile. I rolled my eyes. "And see if maybe you would want to have some brunch." He said as he pulled up a chair to sit across from me.

"As much as I would love to, I have to work. Sorry." I said and shrugged. Now of course I thought he was a little hot but, he wasn't my type at all.

"I knew you were going to say that." He said with a smirk. "How about I go get the food and bring back to share with you."

I thought about his suggestion for a while and said yes because I was hungry.

"Great. I will go get some and be back in about 30 minutes." he said. I nodded and watched as he left.

I shook my head and turned my attention back to the computer and saw that before Shane's meeting with Paul, he had one with Stacy Keibler. I knew she had been on the celebrity dancing show for quite a few weeks so they were probably discussing possible storylines for her return.

I started typing some things that Shane wanted to be done by the end of the week. When I looked up I saw Stacy coming out of the elevator. She smiled as she approached.

"I'm here to see Shane." She said softly. I nodded.

"Just let me tell him you are here." I said. I picked up the phone and transferred over to Shane's and told him that she was here. I said okay a few times then hung up. I turned back to her.

"He will be ready a couple minutes." I said. She nodded and took the seat Paul had early vacated. We were silent for a minute until she broke it.

"I like your jacket." She said with a full fled smile. "Where did you get it."

"Thanks. I got it at one of the vintage shops downtown. My friend is really into that scene so I went with her this weekend and found some really cute stuff." I said surprised with myself. I never usually open up with someone this easily even if it is talking about where I got my clothes.

"Oh really. I think that whole style is very awesome but you have to be able to pull it off with your body type and attitude." She said happily.

"Yeah. I agree. I tried it for one day, but it didn't quite work when I was completely decked head to toe in 80's gear." I said and we both laughed. A few seconds later when we were just calming down our laughter, Shane walked out of his office.

"I see you met Kendall." He said. Stacy nodded and smiled at me. "She is great." I beamed at his compliment. "Alright. Shall we get down to business?" He asked Stacy. She got up and waved to me as she walked in the door.

Shortly after, Paul came back with our food. I cleared my desk as much as possible. I looked at the bill in one of the bags and got out my wallet. I gave him half of what the bill said. He looked at the money then at me.

"I don't want your money." He said and shook his head with his hands pushing my hand away.

"But I want you to have it. I can't let you pay for all this." I said trying to push the money back in his direction.

"Sweetie, I don't need your money. I have enough to pay for this meal." He said and once again pushed my hand away.

"Please. Take it. Whether you want it or not, please take it." I said with a sigh.

"No. I won't take your money." He said again firmly as he piled his plate with food.

"Fine. You won't take my money, I won't eat." I said and leaned back in my chair. He put his fork down and stared at me.

"Excuse me?" He asked, leaning back in his own chair, his hands on his thighs.

"I don't eat things that others pay for unless we are on a date or I know you really well." I said rocking back and forth on my chair.

"Okay then, if that's what it takes for you to eat. This is a date." Paul said with a big smirk and got back to eating. I groaned.

"Fine. I will eat, not because you want me to. But because I am starving." I said with a smile. I would find some way to give it to him.

We ate for a while and by the time we were done we knew each other much better.

"That was great. Thanks." I said.

"No problem." He said shrugging it off. I was about to respond when a voice joined the conversation.

"Well, you are quite the resident slut." The person said. Paul and I both turned to see who it was. When I did my eyes locked with Adam Copeland.

"I should be saying the same to you." I said with a grin. He got a frown on his face and if looks could kill I would be murdered, brought back to life, and killed again.

"First Chris Masters, then I saw you with Carlito, then yesterday I go to get dinner and see you chatting it up with the boy wonder himself, Shane and now, now this big nosed freak." He said and smirked walking closer. I saw Paul get out of his chair but I stood up and reached over and put a hand on his chest pushing him back as far as I could. I walked around my desk a little in front of Paul.

"What do you want Adam?" I asked softly just wanting him to leave.

"I have told you this time and time again." He said referring to whenever I see him he asks me out. He leaned close to my ear and could feel him smirk at Paul before whispering in my ear. What he said disgusted me to no end.

I did the only thing I could think of. I slapped the taste out of his mouth. His head whipped to the side and I could see the angered expression on his face he turned back to me and glared at me with pure outrage shining from his eyes. He grabbed me around my neck with one of his hands. I got nervous but then I remembered something. I kicked his crotch as hard as I possibly could. Another thing good about having my brother here is he is so worried about me hanging out with wrestlers, he taught me some moves to protect myself. Adam immediately dropped to his knees in shock and agony.

I tried to step back but my legs wouldn't let me. I just stared at Adam and couldn't believe I did that. Yeah, I had done it before to my brothers and maybe a cousin or two but never to someone that wasn't a relative. I felt Paul grab my shoulders. He pulled me back and took me in his arms in a tight embrace. I started sobbing because I never wanted to cause anyone hurt even if they deserved it. I just thought it was the only way to get out and I guess I forgot that Paul was there. I told him this through sobs. I assumed that Adam was gone because I was crying for a while. I heard Shane's door open and had a feeling he would be finding out about it.

Paul explained everything to him and Shane was mad and wanted to do something drastic to Adam but knew he couldn't because he was so popular lately and always the main event.

After a half an hour or so I felt I could go back to work. I casually slipped my hand into Paul's jacket pocket and let my money slip from my fingers. I walked back to my desk as Paul walked into Shane's office. Before he closed the door he looked back out and with his eyes asked me if I was fine. I flashed him a smiled and nodded. He nodded too and closed the door. I knew why I cried. Although it was half of what I told him, the other part was that it was that time of the month and I get emotional during this time and I really didn't want to tell him that. As I sat on my desk, I noticed that there was a folded up piece of paper. I opened it up and smiled. It said Stacy and under it had her phone number. I was so happy to actually have a wrestler that I adored number. I was also ecstatic to a new friend and to have someone who would just hold me without asking questions, Paul. I decided he was my new teddy bear. Someone to just be there for me when I needed him. He gave a silent confirmation of this (even though I didn't tell him that he was my teddy bear, don't want to ruin his ego now.) when he left he wrote his number on a paper and told if I never needed him there to talk or whatever that he would be there. I took those words to heart and knew he was going to be a great person to me. And a plus, I knew my brother would like him.
