Chapter 9

Interrogation

"Hey babe, what's up?" Brock asked as Melanie entered the room. Melanie jumped.

"Oh, Brock. You scared me." She said, holding her chest. Brock was reading a copy of Good House Keeping upside down. Melanie stood where she was and stared at Brock.

"Everything ok?" He asked. Melanie nodded.

"Everything's fine…why are you reading that magazine upside down?" Melanie asked. Brock. Brock looked at the magazine.

"Oh, well you know…" He started. He put the magazine down and walked towards Melanie. She took a step back.

" What's up Mel? You look tired. Maybe you should lay down for a little." Brock said as he wrapped his arms around her. Melanie tensed up.

"Good idea, I'll go do that. You, uh…get ready for tonight ok? I'm gonna, yeah…lay down like you said." She stammered. Brock looked at her curiously as she sat on a nearby couch and leaned back. Brock shrugged and headed towards the bathroom.

"You know, I never got to tell you how grateful I am for what you did for me yesterday. I'm trying to get those temper tantrums under control…but with everything that's going on…" Brock said from inside the bathroom. Melanie sat up.

"I know." She called out. Brock came out of the bathroom in his wrestling attire.

"You know what?" He asked. Melanie cleared her throat.

"I know…how grateful you are." She said. Brock nodded.

"Oh…good." Brock said as he went back inside the bathroom. Melanie got up and began searching through his things. His gym bad was completely empty. She closed it and looked through a few drawers. They were all empty as well, with the exception of one drawer with a pen in it. Melanie spoke again.

"You know, I've been noticing a change in you and Kurt lately. Are you guys ok? The reason I ask is because Kurt seemed really worried about you last night. The press has been asking a lot of questions and I realized I didn't really know anything." She said. Brock came out of the bathroom.

"Looking for something?" He asked. Melanie spotted the open drawer with the pen inside and picked it up.

"A…uh piece of paper. I wanted to write myself a little note." She said nervously. Brock looked down.

" It's right in front of you next to the phone." He said calmly. Melanie looked down and laughed.

"Thanks." She said. Brock nodded. Melanie exhaled.

" Is there something wrong Melanie? Something you're not telling me?" Brock asked. Melanie placed the pen and paper on the desk.

"Don't you think you have that backwards?" She asked boldly. Brock took a step towards her.

"Meaning?" He asked.

"You're the one with all the secrets right?" Melanie asked. Brock took another large step towards her.

" Am I? You sure about that?" He questioned. Melanie began walking around the room. Brock followed.

"I don't really know what I'm sure about right now." She said looking around. Brock laughed a little.

"Yeah I know what you mean." He said, trying to put his hands around her hips. Melanie quickly changed direction, avoiding his grasp.

"I doubt that." She said coldly. Brock stopped.

" I think I know what's gong on here Melanie and I'm sorry it's come to this. But I'm not sorry about us. You have to know that." He said quietly. Melanie stopped and looked at him.

"You never told me your strategy for your match tonight." She said. Brock stood up straight.

"You never asked."

"I'm asking now." She whispered. Brock walked toward Melanie.

"Why don't you ask me what you really want to know Melanie…I won't lie to you." He asked. Melanie held her breath. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Mel tore her eyes away from Brock's and opened the door to see Kurt Angle standing in front of her.

"Hey Mel, hope I'm not interrupting anything." He said cheerfully. Melanie sighed.

"Uh, no. Come on in." She said. Kurt stepped into the room and looked at Brock.

"Hey Brock, good luck tonight." He said casually. Brock nodded.

"Likewise." Melanie stood next to Kurt.

"So, what brings you here?" She asked, trying to sound as cheerful as Kurt. He pulled out an object from his back pocket.

"I found this on the ground a few minutes ago…I figured I would return it before it got stepped on." Kurt said holding Melanie's cell phone. She gasped.

"Uh, thanks. Where did you find it?" She asked, even though she knew perfectly well where she last left it. Kurt chuckled.

"It was right outside Vince McMahon's office. I found it as I was coming out of his office earlier today. Well I must go prep for my match. Good luck in your title match Mel. See ya." Kurt said. He quickly left the room. Melanie looked at her cell, then at Brock.

"Uh baby, I've gotta go see Stephanie about something. I'll go straight from Steph's office to my match, and then I'll meet you back here for your title match ok?" She said quickly. She kissed him on the lips and left his dressing room.

"Brock's innocent." Melanie said as she burst through the GM's door. Stephanie looked up from her paperwork.

"What? How do you know?" She asked. Melanie walked up to her desk and sat down.

"It's Kurt. He brought me my cell phone just now. He said it himself that he found it when he was coming out of Vince McMahon's office earlier today!" She said. Steph leaned forward in her chair.

"Mel, don't go jumping to conclusions here. There could be another explanation." She said gravely. Melanie quickly got up.

"Steph are you joking? You don't wanna judge Kurt, even though he said himself that he was in Vince's office, but you wanna butcher Brock when there's no evidence that he was there at all?" she asked. Stephanie got up.

"Melanie, calm down." She said softly. Mel groaned.

"You're the one jumping to conclusions here Steph. You've been doing nothing but judging Brock and I. You don't even know him!" Stephanie crossed her arms.

"From what I've seen, I don't wanna know him. It doesn't take a psychologist to see that something isn't right Mel. I'm not judging him, I'm just looking out for your best interest, that's all!" She argued. Melanie shook her head.

" Well for your best interest, stay out of our business ok?" Steph sighed.

"Mel, you're my best friend and I am Brock's boss…you guys are my business." Melanie picked up her cell phone and headed towards the door.

"You're just jealous of us. You want what I have with Brock." Stephanie placed her hands on her hips.

"What? Oh yeah right Mel. Please." She said in disgust. Melanie nodded.

"When you've gotten over the fact that you fucked up your chance with Triple H a long time ago, then maybe you can move on and stop living vicariously through me." Melanie said. She left the room, leaving a stunned Stephanie behind.
