Flashback – The First Meeting.
"Guys I'm sure you already know Emma Teller my girlfriend and Em you already know my parents, my Sister Stephanie and her husband Hunter" Shane said officially introducing me to his family. It felt a little bit crazy doing this whole thing as really Shane was just introducing me to my bosses that I had already met on multiple occasions. Apparently Shane had only told them he was dating and not who he was dating based on the shocked looks on the faces before me well except for Hunter aka Triple H who had a look of knowing on his face after going through this experience years ago before.
"She's a bit young isn't she Shane-O" Vince said as if I was not sat across the table from him. "There's a few years between us I agree however we don't notice and it shouldn't matter if we're in love" Shane replied quickly bring a small smile to my face. Yes there was a few years between us however that shouldn't matter, Shane and I had discussed this when we first got together.
"You know if you're using my brother to further your career it won't work missy. We'll see right through your games" Stephanie spat at me, causing me to look back at her in shock, who is she to talk.
"Why is that what Hunter did or something? I know the whole story how you were put together in a storyline yet fell in love, well the only difference is that Shane and I weren't in a storyline we just fell in love. I am incredibly happy with him so fire me or treat however you want if you want because as long as Shane and I love each other I will be in his life!" I replied back to Stephanie not caring how the family would feel about my little outburst. I was not going to allow anyone to undermine my relationship with Shane.
I felt Shane slip his hand into mine under the table glancing at him he had a smile on his face giving me a wink allowing myself to calm down before I turned to look at the rest of the table seeing Stephanie and Vince looking shocked at my outburst, Hunter looking like he was holding his chuckle under his hand and Linda looking as calm as she did whenever I had seen her. I knew that Shane took after his mother a lot keeping calm in tense situations and Stephanie most certainly took after her father with her short temper and business like mind 24/7.
"You know what I like her Shane-O" Vince said ignoring my presence once again before clapping his hands and calling for the waiter to come over to take our orders. Looking over at Stephanie she just sat giving me a look that I could only describe as hate.
Later on Shane and I had decided to walk back to our hotel room instead of hiring a car like the rest of the McMahon/Hemsley family. Walking hand in hand, Shane had draped his suit jacket over my shoulders to protect me from the slight chill that had fallen over the city.
"I think Stephanie hates me" I said causing Shane to chuckle softly. "The thing about Steph is that truly she hates everyone. I think she's just looking out for me especially after everything with Marissa I think she believes that my heart is completely fragile about to crumble at any minute"
"And is it" I asked, he stopped us walking before taking me into his arms and saying "no because you've made it stronger than it ever was Em. I have to admit during the divorce I worried that I wouldn't fall in love again but that was because I had yet to realise the beautiful person who was standing not so far away" he slowly leant down to kiss me, the thing about kissing Shane is that I don't think I'd ever truly get used to it. It felt like a million butterflies were in my stomach.
Pulling away I looked at Shane saying "I think we should get back now" winking causing Shane to laugh.
Nice quick flashback. I wanting to show that even though Emma and Stephanie get along it wasn't always that way. Sorry it's so short thank you everyone for the comments, favourites and follows!
