When they reached the door to Stephanie's bedroom she leaned up and kissed him. Paul responded by parting her lips so that her could slip his tongue in. Paul slipped his hands up her short skirt and rubbed her thighs softly. Stephanie broke the kiss and took his hand as she walked them into the bedroom. Paul kissed her as he guided her to bed and layed her down.She could feel his hardness digging into her. Paul lifted her top over her head and smiled. It wasn't long before he unhooked the clasp of her bra. Stephanie unzipped his pants and put her hand inside his boxers making him moan. They took off the rest of there cloths and Paul started to move into her as she ran her hands through his hands. Stephanie rolled over and sat on top of him looking down at him she said " So much for taking things slow". Stephanie said nothing else and just leaned down and kissed him.
The next morning Stephanie was with the girls for another meeting.
" It seems like the dolls are the media's new favorite target and this time for all the right reasons" Todd said proud to have some great press.
The girls squealed as Paul shook his head " Slow down the squealing girls, there is always good news with bad news.Stephanie smiled to herself and just waited for Todd to continue.
" So you guys will be doing interviews all day" Todd said
The girls smiles turned into frowns " Do we have to?" Jade groaned
" Yes you do but I am very proud of you guys" Todd smiled
The girls sighed " Thanks Todd"
" Now Stephanie I got a call from People and they want you and Shane on the cover for there brother and sister celbrity edition" Todd said as he looked as Stephanie next to Shane.
" You think you can handle it" Stephanie asked Shane.
Shane nodded " Absolutely, you bet I'm ready for the world to see my handsome face".
" Sure Shane" The dolls said as once.
Paul laughed " Something tells me they don't think your handsome".
" Okay enough teasing, you girls need to get ready" Todd said trying to maintain order.
While the girls were at the studio getting there pictures taken and interviewed Shane, Hunter and Todd stayed to the side and talked amongst themselves.
" I can't believe the girls are behaving" Todd laughed.
Paul laughed with him " Shh, they might start to misbehave again".
" Um Paul what did you and my sister do after you guys left the club last night" Shane asked
Paul smirked and looked at Shane " We talked and did some others things I don't think you care to hear".
Shane scrunched up his nose " Bad mental picture".
Paul shrugged " I told you".
" Well Paul I know that your good for Stephanie she needs someone like you and if you are dating her then good luck" Todd said.
" Thanks Todd" Paul said.
The shoot ended and Shane and Stephanie were on the way to go do there photo shoot when Shane spoke up.
" I'm glad your not hiding yourself".
Stephanie smiled " Me too being myself brings so many rewards".
" Explain" Shane laughed having a good idea of what or who she was talking about.
" People are nicer to me" Stephanie said plainly.
" Well I'm glad" Shane said as he held her hand and just sat there in comfortable silence. They joked around and had fun during there shoot. Which made for a perfect cover.
The next day Shane, Paul, and Todd were discussing everything about the dolls.
Todd looked at the paper in front of him that consisted of there sales record and there behavior. " Since the break the girls are doing much better, especially Stephanie. Do either of you know why."
Shane stifled a laugh " Paul talked to Stephanie and more then likely did other things".
Todd frowned " How is that funny".
Shane couldn't help but laugh " Because since then her attitude had done a 180 turn".
Todd shook his head " Are you okay".
" No he's just been hanging around the girls to much" Paul smirked.
Shane turned to Paul " Oh shut up, you should know about that more then me".
" Moving on, your cover with Steph looks great Shane" Todd pointed at the People magazine of Shane laying down on a sofa with Stephanie laughing at one of his jokes while laying her head on his chest.
Shane smiled " Thanks, I think it'll be good for Steph".
" What do you mean" Paul asked.
Shane sighed " Having the public see her in a new light and see the real her, I hope will help her especialy with her wanting a solo career" .
" Your a good brother" Todd patted his back.
Shane smiled " I do what I have to for her".
After a hard day of interviews and performances Stephanie decided to go shopping with the girls. But they were interrupted by the paparazzi who kept asking her questions about hers and Paul's relationship. The girls tried to defuse the situation.
" He's our manager people sorry to disappoint no story here...now excuse us we have shopping to do" Sara yelled.
" Come on you your lying" said a male photographer that flashed a camera in Jade's face which caused her to lose her balance.
" Stephanie speak up we know you can talk" said a female voice. Stephanie couldn't take this verbal attack form about 50 photographers who weren't going to stop. She did the only logical thing call Paul. Stephanie told him to pick her up at the mall and come in a limo but don't get out.
" Girls I have to go...try and distract them" Stephanie said quietly.
Stephanie managed to slip away and went as fast as she could in stiletto boots to the awaiting limo.
Paul seem the chaos and wondered what was up. " What happened"
" Well you see somehow the media found out about us and are having a fucking field day with my life" Stephanie said taking deep calming breaths.
" Well, we aren't going to give them anything to go on. Whenever you have an apperance I will make sure I am hidden in the background...give it a little time they will get bored and find another story to move on to like Paris Hilton...that girl does something stupid everyday" Paul reasoned.
" I got the girls to cover as I left but some still followed me, what if this is on every magazine tomorrow" Stephanie asked still trying to collect herself.
" Steph they don't have any pictures of us so they really have no story just a bunch of rumors and you know give it time and it will die down, But since since we are in the back of a limo where no one can see us" Paul said as he leaned over to give her a small kiss. Then Stephanie's cellphone started to ring.
Stephanie sighed and pulled away " Sorry I have to get this".
" It's fine" Paul smiled.
" Hey what's up" Stephanie answered the phone.
" Um Steph did you see the issue of Star today" Shane asked not bothering to say hello.
" No why" Stephanie arched her finely waxed brow.
" Get the magazine and call back" Shane hung up just as fast and he answered.
Stephanie looked over at Paul " We have to stop at the store"
Paul looked curious " For what"
" An issue of Star" Stephanie said cryptically
" Why that is one of the worst rumor rags out there" Paul asked. Stephanie didn't answer instead she waited until the driver stopped and let them out.
" Let's go Paul" Stephanie ordered as they headed in Stephanie didn't bother to sigh autographs or take pictures all she did was go over and check out the latest picture of star.
" Son of a bitch" Stephanie muttered as she looked at the picture of her and Paul sitting on her New York balcony. It was acute picture where Stephanie sat on his lap and had a drink in her hand with the caption " Pussycat doll Stephanie McMahon and her new flame".
" When the hell was that picture taken" Paul said unable to believe these people.
" I don't know" Stephanie sighed as they payed for the magazine and went back to the safety of the limo.
" Maybe we should just make it public" Paul said thinking of no other option.
Stephanie didn't know what else to do but call her brother.
" Shane where the hell did they get that picture" Stephanie asked wanting Shane to have the answer just like he always did.
" I don't know babygirl" Shane said truthfully.
" Well what am I supposed to do" Stephanie panicked.
" Steph take a deep breath and try to relax...this isn't the worst thing. Don't let these people ruin what you gave sweetie" Shane said softly.
" But that still doesn't help my current situation" Stephanie snapped.
" Are you with Paul now" Shane asked
" Yes" Stephanie said dismissively.
" Then go back home with him and let him help you relax. I know he will be there for you trust him baby girl ok".
" Really great advice thanks" Stephanie said sarcastically as she hung up.
" Steph calm down" Paul said as his cellphone rang it was his sister. " If we ever get two seconds alone we can talk about this...hello sis what do you want?.
" Is it true because we your family is shocked" Lynn answered as Paul looked over at Stephanie who was yelling over the phone at her publicist.
" Look Lynn we have a lot going on right now and we are trying to fix it...you know tell mom she is going to have a couple house guest tonight". Paul said
" What" Lynn asked
" Just tell her" Paul rolled his eyes. He then hung up his phone and then grabbed Stephanie's to turn hers off.
" What are you doing" Stephanie asked
" We are going to stay at my parents house tonight..away from the media, no one will know we are there" Paul answered
" But don't I have a full schedule and I have to start recording with Diddy" Stephanie said as she layed her head in his lap. After today she was ready to curl up in a ball and gain a few pounds from ben & jerry.
" I will take care of everything and you don't start recording until Friday with him ok" Paul said as he ran his fingers through her hair.
" Ok" Stephanie sighed as she closed her eyes.
Stephanie ended up sleeping on the ride to Nashua and when they got to the house Stephanie stepped out of the limo and seen his parents house which was half of her parents house.
" It's cute" Stephanie smiled.
Paul laughed " But nothing like yours used to"
" Exactly, but I think I like this house better" Stephanie laughed as Paul knocked on the door. Nayssa opened it and had to step back, her mouth was practically on the floor. She shut the door without letting them in.
From the outside they could hear Lynn say " Nayssa who was at the door?"
" Uncle Paul" Nayssa yelled back.
" Why did you shut the door on him" Lynn asked.
" Stephanie was there" Nayssa said.
" You shouldn't have done that" Lynn sighed.
" But he never brings home his clients" Nayssa rolled her eyes.
" We don't know why she is here so let's try letting them in and find out" Lynn said as she opened the door.
" Well this is a surprise" Lynn said as opened the door.
Paul smiled sheepishly " Can we come in before someone sees us please?". Lynn stepped aside and let the two inside.
Paul ushered Stephanie inside " You go into the lounge, I'll be in soon".
Stephanie walked into the lounge and saw a little girl hiding behind a chair peeking out at her.Stephanie smiled knowing the girl was a fan and wanted to try and make her happy.
" Hi sweetie what's your name" Stephanie asked softly.
Nayssa stayed behind a chair " Nayssa"
" That's a beautiful name. My name is Stephanie and I'm a friend of your uncles". Stephanie smiled
" Your a doll" Nayssa whispered.
Stephanie nodded " I am, I'm a normal person to though".
" I have your CD" Nayysa said shyly.
" Thats cool" Stephanie said.
Stephanie reached her hand out towards Nayssa " Would you like me to sign it specially for you"
Nayssa looked at her in shock " Could you".
" Sure why don't you come sit with me and I will sing you a song".
Nayssa's face broke into a smile " Really? Let me go get my CD first" and the little girl ran off.
She came back withing in minutes " Here thank you so much" Nayssa jumped up and down as Stephanie sign it.
" Now come sit and I will sing you a song" Stephanie patted the seat next to her. Nayssa ran over and curled up next to her on the couch.
Paul watched his niece go flying by him and then back a few seconds later.
" What was that all about" Paul asked.
" I don't know" Lynn shrugged. A few seconds later they heard Stephanie softly sing A Whole New World to Nayssa.
Lynn smiled " I guess that explains where she went".
Paul and Lynn walked to the doorway of the living room and looked on as Stephanie ended the song with Nayssa clapping.
" Moomy wait till the kids at school here this" Nayssa said as she looked at Lynn with a huge smile.
Paul frowned " Nayssa, you need to promise me you won't tell people that Stephanie was here, you can tell people you met her in New York".
" Why" Nayssa whined.
Paul was going to make this simple for her child brain to understand " You know how Stephanie is in the dolls right" Nayssa nodded so he continued " The press are all over Stephanie at the moment and she needs some space from them and if people know she's here we'll all get hounded by them"
" That doesn't sound fun" Nayssa sighed then looked over at Stephanie " Would you like to see my room"
Stephanie nodded " Sure first thought I really need some water".
" Okay come on" Nayssa said. Stephanie let her drag her to the kitchen as Paul and Lynn looked on.
" She's a lot differnet off camera" Lynn observed.
" This is the real her amazing" Paul smiled.
" So is she like the only real singer" Lynn asked
Paul shrugged " They can all sing just not as strong as Stephanie".
Lynn nodded " So whilst Stephanie is busy tell me the real reason your here".
"Well let's just say they found out me and Stephanie and when her and the dolls were shopping the papparazzie kept asking out us and even though she denied it they still asked.Then Shane called and told us to pick up the magazine so we did and it had us on the front cover" Paul sighed.
" So your dating her now" Lynn asked
Paul nodded " Yes kind of".
" Well I'm happy for you" Lynn smiled as she gave him a hug.
" Thanks where is mom and dad" Paul asked
" Well they won't be back until later tonight but I think mom already knows and she's happy with it" Lynn said.
Paul went off to the office to do some work and after an hour he went back to the living room and seen Stephanie playing with Nayssa on the floor.
" Hey you two" He said finally being noticed by them.
Nayssa smiled " Hey uncle Paul, Stephy's been playing with me". Paul kissed Stephanie's cheek and then went to see where his sister was at.
Lynn laughed as she seen Stephanie take Nayssa outside to teach her some dance moves " I think Nayssa is turning into a miniature Pussycat doll".
Paul smiled " She'll be the envy of all her friends".
" I think Christmas came early for her" Lynn laughed as she saw Nayssa fall down into the snow.
Lynn watched as Stephanie immediately dropped down next to her and helped her back up " She's amazing with her".
Paul smiled " I know she is a great girl in general".
" Do you want to go tell them dinner is ready" Lynn asked
Paul walked onto the porch " Hey you two time to eat".
Nayssa nodded " I'm starving" and she ran inside.
Stephanie laughed as she joined him on the porch " I think I worked her up an appetite".
Paul smiled and kissed her " Yeah but that isn't a bad thing".
