Chapter Thirteen

"Hey Levesque, will you job to me next? Do you think Angle and McMahon can make it happen for me?" T.J. Wilson called out across the backstage hallway when he saw Paul by himself with his cell phone in hand.

Paul looked up and saw that the young wrestler, Tyson Kidd was standing there smiling after he insulted him. Levesque said nothing as he brought his right hand up and gave the young talent the one figure salute.

"Don't be a jerk. Come on, you have to get your ring gear on." Nattie Neidhart scolded her boyfriend giving him a playful slap to his chest. The young star agreed and followed his long time girlfriend down the hallway.

"Little douche bag…" Paul muttered to himself before he turned his attention back to his phone. He quickly found Vince and Linda McMahon's home phone number in his contact list and pressed his green send button to call it. He needed to call Linda.

"Hey Linda, this is Paul. I talked with Stephanie and she told me that Aurora is going to be with you all day tomorrow. I wanted to stop by and spend some time with my daughter." Paul explained the moment his former mother-in-law answered the call.

"Oh hi, Paul, that's fine. I'm sure it will be a nice surprise for Aurora. Vince is going to be home working in the office but you won't have to worry about him, you know he pretty much stays occupied with work all the time. What time can we expect you?" Linda asked politely, she was happy that her granddaughter's father was making an effort to see her.

"Hey Paul, your ex-wife has called into the Bubba the Love Sponge show, check it out, dude." John Morrison offered holding out one of his ear buds that was connected to his iPod Shuffle that was tuned into the podcast.

"Hey Linda, can I call you back in the next hour? Thanks, bye." Levesque said quickly getting Mrs. McMahon off the phone so that he could take the former MNM tag team member up on his offer.

Without any hesitation, Paul placed one of the ear buds into his ear. Sure enough, he heard his wife's voice speaking to both Bubba and Spice boy. Levesque quickly snatched up the other ear bud and put it in his other ear. He wanted to hear what his former wife was talking about.

"Hi Steph, how are you and Kurt doing? Thanks for calling in."

"We're doing terrific, thanks. This is my first time calling in to talk to you guys. Kurt would have called in today but he's working out messing around with his mixed martial arts." Steph explained.

"She sounds hot, doesn't she Bubba?" Spice boy commented causing Steph to laugh.

"Oh so where are you? Are you home or the office?" Bubba asked.

"I'm with the kids. I had a half day at the office." Stephanie replied.

"So how are things in WWE? Kurt's back with you guys and he seems to be enjoying himself. Is business going well?" Spice boy asked.

"Things are going well. We're just coming off of a very successful pay-per-view,, Night of Champions, which fans can still catch the replay of via their cable or satellite provider."

"So it was a good show?" Spice boy asked.

"Yes, we had a stacked card. Every championship in the company was defended. And my husband, Kurt, put on a stellar performance with Jeff Hardy."

"Listen to her, getting her little company plugs in there. So how long have you and Kurt been together?"

"Tomorrow is our one year wedding anniversary."

"You don't have any kids together, do you?"

"Yes, yes we do. We have a son named Andrew. He'll be a year old this coming month."

"Oh that's right, Kurt mentioned his new baby before. And of course Kurt has his two kids he had with Karen. Do you have any other children?" Bubba asked into the microphone.

"Yes, I have a three year old daughter, Aurora, that I had with my first husband, Triple H."

"That's right, you were married to Triple H first. And then what? You divorced him and married Kurt? We're you and Kurt screwing around while you were still married to Triple H?" Spice boy asked not holding any of his questions back.

"No, Kurt and I started dating when I was getting out of my relationship with Triple H. Kurt didn't have anything to do with the end of my first marriage. Triple H and I had our own problems." Stephanie told them.

"What kind of problems, Steph? He wasn't stepping out on you was he?" Bubba the Love Sponge asked causing Steph to fall silent for a few seconds before speaking again.

"Yeah, there was infidelity on his part. It got really messy. But it's in the past and we've moved on with our lives." Stephanie admitted.

"Wow, who would ever cheat on the boss' daughter. He had it made, man. Now Kurt has it made. So do you and Kurt get along with Triple H? Are you guys able to co-exist for your daughter?" Bubba asked.

"Oh yeah, we really have strived to be civil to one another because it's our three year old that has to be in the situation of being a child of divorce. But Aurora is doing great. She loves Kurt. She even calls Kurt her daddy. No matter how many times Kurt and I correct her, she keeps calling him Daddy. I think it's because I call him that for my eleven month old. It's really cute."

"Well that's great you all have been able to make things work for the children. I'm interested to know your views on Kurt's ex-wife, Karen. I don't know if you know this, but I'm still friendly with Karen and she recently called into the show and had a few words to say about you and Kurt." Bubba told Stephanie.

"Oh God…" Steph replied.

"You know that she doesn't have great things to say about you then?" Spice boy asked.

"Karen has disliked me since Kurt and I got involved. And that's a shame because I have never done anything to her."

"Okay well, I'm going to play what Karen had to say about you the other day on our show. Let's play it." Bubba instructed.

"Stephanie McMahon is nothing but a two faced home wrecking bitch. She acts like she's all nice and innocent and pretends to be your friend while all the while; she's making a play for your man. She seduced Kurt and got herself pregnant by him so that he felt obligated to divorce me and marry her. That's her game and if you don't believe me ask Chyna because she did the same thing to get Triple H, except she didn't get pregnant." The former Mrs. Kurt Angle explained.

"Stephanie, is any of what Karen said true? Did you steal Kurt from her? Are you a home wrecker?" Spice boy asked trying to get Stephanie to speak about Karen's accusations.

"None of it is true. Her and Kurt were over and getting a divorce when Kurt and I became more than friends. It is a shame that she chooses to believe differently. I really would like to get on good terms with her because I want Kurt to have a good relationship with Kyra and Kody. Just like how Triple H and I get along for our daughter." Steph replied.

"She also mentioned how Kurt had to take an erectile dysfunction drug when they wanted to have sex. Now I know this to be true because I recommended Cialis for him because he told me he wasn't able to get going. She was bringing it up to attack Angle's manhood and embarrass him."

"I don't know anything about that. Since I've been with Kurt, he's never taken any of those drugs for ED. He performs to very high standards on his own. So it must have been something on her end." Stephanie quickly retorted causing the guys in the studio to laugh.

"Enough of this bullshit…" Paul muttered grabbing the ear bud from his ear and tossing it aside.

He had heard enough of Stephanie's call in to the Bubba Love Sponge Show. As if hearing his ex-wife discuss her new husband's ability to perform wasn't enough, he had to hear her tell blatant lies about how well they were getting along for the sake of their child. Who was she kidding? Was Steph trying to come across as the perfect mother and ex-wife in order to look good for her company's sake? Levesque hoped that all the viewers listening in to the show and the hosts themselves would see right through her put on bullshit. He should do an interview himself and tell everyone the real truth about Stephanie McMahon-Angle.

"I didn't know you and Stephanie were so close still, Levesque. That's so touching." John Morrison said beginning to snicker. He had been listening to the interview too using the other ear bud.

"Fuck off, would you? You'd have to be a jerk off to believe a word she says." Paul retorted.

Instead of waiting for Morrison to leave, it was Levesque who took the initiative to walk away. He was still replaying Stephanie's words from the interview in his head. The more he continued to think about it, the more it angered him. His ex-wife new damn well that he had been miserable ever since the divorce a year ago. She knew that ever since the dissolve of their marriage, things had been awkward between them to say the least. By lying during her call in to the show, Steph was pretending that his real feelings about her did not exist. This was an underhanded move; a low blow.

Paul exhaled sharply before he programmed his cell phone to call Linda McMahon again. He brought his phone to his ear and waited while it rang. He was living up to his word of calling his former mother-in-law back. Despite his frustrations with his ex-wife, Levesque wasn't about to take his anger out on her mother. Linda had always been civil to him ever since the divorce last year; she was just about the only McMahon to be civil.

"Hey Linda…yeah hey, do you know what Angle and Stephanie's plans are for tomorrow…oh no particular reason, I'm just curious…Oh as far as you know they are just having dinner out…Yeah I know that restaurant…Yeah, okay, I'll see you…Bye." Paul said into the phone before ending the call. He then put the phone away in his pocket.

Levesque's mouth formed a smirk at the sight of Torrie Wilson exiting the divas' locker room. Her on camera backstage role in WWE allowed her to keep in touch with some of her friends from the days where she was on the active roster.

"Hey Torrie, you look really nice today." Paul complimented her with a nice smile. He had immediately noticed that she had already been in the hair and makeup chair for the show.

"Oh thanks, Paul. How are you doing? Are you hanging in there?" Torrie asked showing her concern for him. The last time they had a chance to talk was the night in the bar when he had told her about the ending of his marriage.

"Yeah, I'm doing all right, but you could do something for me that would make me feel even better." Levesque smoothly replied as he walked with Torrie down the hallway.

"Well, that depends on what you want me to do…What is it?" She asked tilting her head slightly while she smiled at him.

"I want you to spend the day with me tomorrow."

Torrie's mouth opened slightly as her eyes, that were focused on Levesque, widened. She was surprised by Paul's proposal. While she figured that he had appreciated her company the other night in the hotel bar, she had chalked it up to him needing someone to talk to in his moment of loneliness. Was him asking her to spend the day with him tomorrow a round about way of asking her out on a date?

"Thanks for the invite, but how would we spend the day together? I'm flying to New York tomorrow morning to do a media appearance." She replied explaining why she couldn't take him up on his offer.

"Well, I'm flying home to Connecticut tomorrow morning. I could drive to New York and pick you up from there. We can make a day out of it. We can spend part of the day in New York if you like. Or I can take you back to Connecticut with me and show you around. There's a great restaurant that I'd love to take you to for dinner. It will be fun. What do you say?" Levesque asked tossing out another idea to her as he used his fingertips to slightly caress the soft skin of her right arm which made her smile. His touch gave Torrie goose bumps. He certainly knew how to use subtle contact to flirt and make her feel special.

"Sure, why not." Torrie said with a smile. His sweetness and charm made it impossible for her to not take him up on his offer. Despite it being short notice, Paul driving to New York to spend time and take her out to dinner would be the most fun and spontaneous thing she had done in a long time.

"Well, I have your cell number and I'll call you when I'm on my way…" Paul told her in a sweet sounding voice. He was mirroring Torrie Wilson's sweetness and politeness which he knew would only endear her more to him.

"Okay…" She whispered in a reply.

Torrie blushed as he took hold of her and gently brought it to his lips. He tenderly kissed the back of her hand. It was like a scene out of an old fashion movie with Levesque playing the part of the gentleman caller. His charm was laid on thick; thick enough to leave Torrie standing there blushing and somewhat weak in the knees. She was putty in his hands.
