Chapter 14: Your still the one
She sat there trying not to cry. She didn't know who to call. Jillian had a match, and Daryl was at Smackdown!.
"Good job Laura. Now Brians mad at you and your stuck in a diner." She said to herself.
She didn't feel like finishing her meal, she was too upset, and had no appetite.
Her cell text alert went off, as she grabbed her phone, it was Paul.
Paul: How is it going? Almost over?
Laura: Oh its over alright.
Paul: Huh?
Laura: Long story. But he left, Im stuck in Sizzler and I have no one to take me back to the arena, or hotel.
She waited for a reply, 10 minutes later, still no reply. She sat there and sighed putting her hands over her face feeling like crap.
Just then, she looked up, to Paul sitting in the booth infront of her.
She smiled instantly. "Oh my God…Pauly, what are you doing here?" She leaned over the table pulling him into a hug."
"My favorite girl was stuck. I had to come." He started eating what Brian left on his plate as Laura sat there and laughed.
"Enjoying?" She asked.
Paul nodded with his mouth stuffed.
Laura continued laughing. She never laughed so much. She never smiled so much either.
After a minute of silence she looked up at Paul.
"Paul…" She said looking at him straight in the face.
Paul stuck fries up his nose and looked at her. "Yes?"
Laura chuckled "Paul, take them out of your nose. I swear its like eating with a child." She continued laughing.
He took them out and looked at her "okay serious time. Yes?"
"Thank you…" She got up out of the booth and looked at him. "Thank you for everything. I don't know how else to put it. But no one has ever meant more to me in the entire world. And I'm being completely honest." She sighed and continued. "I have feelings for you. I cant stop thinking about you. You're the most amazing man I've ever met." She started getting tears in her eyes, not knowing how he would react.
Paul stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Laura, you have no idea how much that means to me. I've never felt important to any woman before. So thank you so much. And as far as having feelings for me…" He paused for a minute and pulled away, his arms still around her waist. He looked into her eyes and leaned down kissing her lips softly, as she continued it.
After a couple of minutes of making out. She looked around. It was just them, left in the diner. She shook her head in confusion as she picked up her phone hearing her alert go off. "What a way to ruin the perfect moment" she mumbled to herself and looked at her phone.
"I cant believe this." She laughed.
"What?" Paul asked confused.
"Brian knew Ashley set the date up and he went along with it just because he knew I'd crack and tell him I liked you, so you could come and 'rescue' me." She chuckled and puts her phone down pulling Paul into another hug.
Paul laughed. "I'll have to thank him…although I already knew he was going to walk out on you like that." Paul said still hugging Laura.
Laura pulled away. "What!?!"
Paul nodded. "We had a plan, and I had to get closer to you, my friends knew I liked you, your friends apparently knew you liked me. I knew nothing would happen, unless I set this up."
Laura laughed. "I cant believe this. I must be dreaming."
Paul shook his head "That would explain the diner with no one in it, by the way." He put the stereo on playing Shania Twain – Your still the one.
They danced slowly and as;
'Looks like we made it, look how far we've come my baby.
We might've took the long way, we knew we'd get there someday.
They said, I bet, they'll never make it. But just look at us holdin' on.
We're still together, still goin' strong.'
Played, she looked up at Paul and kissed him passionately.
"I love you Paul." Laura whispered looking into his eyes as they continued slow dancing.
"I love you too Laura." Paul whispered back and locked his lips with hers again.
