Flashback – The first date. (2006)

Sorry it's short!

I was looking at myself in the mirror, checking my dress and hair making sure that everything was perfect. Tonight was my first date with Shane McMahon and I had to admit I was filled with both excitement and nervousness.

I was so excited I had a crush on Shane since I first met him however when I first met him he'd been married to Marissa and I stayed away from him. They had a son together called Declan who had been born in 2004 and a year after they had decided to divorce however managed to stay friends.

A year after his divorce Shane had asked me on a date it had taken a while to actually go on the date due to our roles in the WWE. I was the current Women's champion and Shane was Executive Vice President of WWE Global Media. We'd been on a few coffee dates but Shane refused to see any of those as a date.

I had been told to dress up nicely so I was in a short black dress with a puffy skirt with black heels. I didn't feel like I was dressed correctly however I was running out of time to do anything about it. Hearing a knock at the door I knew that I had no choice but stay in the outfit I was currently wearing.

Opening the door I said "Hey there! Don't you look smart Mr McMahon" Jokingly grimacing he quickly replied "Please don't call me that, It makes me sound like my father" We both laughed before he took a breath and said "I have to say you're looking beyond beautiful right now" I blushed and smiled before locking the door and walking with him.

"So where are we going?" I asked Shane as we walked along the street. Honestly I was hoping that it wasn't too far away especially if we were walking the whole way, the heels were already killing my feet, heels were definitely not my first choice of shoes but I had to look acceptable to be seen out with Shane McMahon. "The restaurants only a two minute walk, I hope you don't mind" He replied taking my hand this once again made me blush. I felt stupid I could wrestle near enough in my underwear in front of millions of people and not bat an eyelash but as soon as a guy grabs my hand I look like a tomato exploded over my face.

When we arrived at the restaurant I noticed it was extremely fancy somewhere that I would never personally choose but I suppose you have to mix it up every once in a while. Shane was the perfect gentleman pulling my chair out for me allowing me to sit down and look at the menu. "Is wine okay for you or would you like something different" Shane asked me, nodding he turned to the waiter ordering for us both. I smiled at him and then continued to look at the menu trying to decide what I wanted and what I could afford.

"You can have whatever you like stop looking so worried. This is on me" Shane told placing his hand on mine. "I can pay for my own meal Shane" "I know but I want to treat you" he told me. I didn't want anyone to think that I only liked Shane for the money. I didn't want him to think that he needed to buy me everything and that I only wanted money.

A while later we had finally chosen and received our meals and were eating in silence. I have yet to truly understand why Shane McMahon would choose me. My thoughts were full of these types of thoughts as I watched the proclaimed boy wonder eat his meal. "Are you okay" Shane asked breaking me out of my thoughts, "Yeah I'm fine, why?" "Well you're staring at me with the strangest look on your face" He told me starting to look rather worried. I sighed before saying "I know this may seem strange on what is our sort of first date but I need to know out of all the women you could have had, why me?". He seemed taken aback by my outburst of words but quickly took a sip of his water clearing his voice before saying "because you are you" this just confused me even more choosing not to answer I just sat and looking at him.
"That's not a bad thing obviously, you're beautiful, sweet, kind and you make me smile every time I think of you" he told me once again placing his hand on top of mine and making me smile brighter than I ever thought I would. Looking back down before my blushing face could give my happiness away I continued eating my meal which prompted Shane to continue his.

Yes I'm incredibly happy right now.

Hello there and sorry about the lack of updates this week but I've been back at work and have not had a lot of time for writing! I wanted to write a small update just to keep my writing juices flowing so I decided to do a small flashback to get into Emma's mind a little. I'm sorry it's not very good but hopefully some of you will still enjoy it!

Thank you to xBeautifuldisaster79 and Melissa Bradley for the reviews!
