Chapter 10
Hours later Hunter had secured himself his own room. But rather sit up there by himself, he was sitting at the bar in the hotel, a shot of some dark liquid in front of him.
"I can't believe it's come down to this", he said to himself as he took another sip. Just then his cell phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and looked down at the screen. "Thank God", he said as he answered. "Hey. Well, I'm in the hotel bar right now". He paused, "already? Wow, that was quick. But I guess that's why I pay you what I pay you, right?" He chuckled. "You can't overnight them to the hotel? Yeah, I guess that'll work". He finished off his shot and set the glass back down. "Sure. I'll talk to you tomorrow, Abe. Thanks. Bye". He hung up and put his cell phone back in his pocket. He then motioned the bartender over.
"You need another shot?" the bartender asked.
"Yeah and make it a double", Hunter replied. The bartender nodded and walked away to grab the whiskey bottle.

Meanwhile, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley sat on the bed in her room, staring at the hotel phone. She sighed heavily then picked up the receiver and dialed a room. She waited patiently for the other party to pick up. "Hi, Daddy. Um, we need to talk….."
Vince McMahon's face was beat red as he exclaimed, "WHAT?!" into the phone. "Are you OUT of your MIND?! Young lady, you have done some very stupid things but this one tops them all!!"
"I know, Daddy. But I couldn't help myself. I love him, Daddy".
"You love him enough to throw away half of what you own in MY company?! I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd honestly love to see you with anyone else than Triple H but what you did has so many repercussions. I just…", Vince sighed, "I just don't get it, but whatever my little girl wants, she gets. I'll call Legal and see what this is all going to cost me".
"You mean us", Stephanie corrected him.
"Whatever", Vince said, flatly. "Could you and Randy try to stay away from one another until you sign your divorce papers at least?"
"We can try but I can't guarantee anything".
"Let me be a bit more clear, DO NOT make a public display out of anything until the papers are signed, got it?"
"Yes, Daddy".
"Okay, try to sleep well tonight, sweetheart".
"I will, Daddy. I love you".
"I love you too, honey. Good bye". Vince hung up the phone and sighed heavily.
"I feel so bad for Hunter", said Reggie as she sat on her bed with Ivy.
"I feel bad too", said Ivy. "So what was Hunter doing outside your door when we came back?"
"Oh we accidentally met upstairs at the restaurant and had an early dinner together", said Reggie, nonchalantly.
"Accidentally?" asked John.
"I forgot my stupid pass and he helped me get into the restaurant".
"Oh really?" Ivy smiled.
"Stop smiling. We had dinner together. The first half he griped about Stephanie".
"And the second half?" asked Ivy.
"We actually had a nice talk. It was fun".
"It was fun", Ivy repeated then turned to John. "Aw, honey, they had their first date".
"It wasn't a date", Reggie said.
"Speaking of 'date', I think we should go have one of our own, Babe. I'm starving", said John as he got up from his chair.
"Gimme a minute, this is getting good", Ivy said.
"There's nothing to get good. Hunter and I are friends".
"We'll see", Ivy grinned.
"Oh get out. Go have dinner before poor John here wastes away to nothing. Come on", Reggie pulled Ivy off the bed. "Out of my hair. Both of you". She started nicely shoving them towards the door.
"Well keep me posted if there are any changes in your so called friendship".
"Knock it off, Ivy", Reggie sighed. "Go". She opened the door.
"I'll call you later", said Ivy.
"Yeah yeah", said Reggie. "Bye".
"See ya, Reg", said John and him and Ivy left. Reggie shut the door behind them. "Peace and quiet at last". Just then, her room phone rang. She walked over to the nightstand and answered it. "Hello?"
On the other end we could faintly hear Ivy singing and laughing, "Hunter and Reggie sittin' in a tree…"
"Oh bite me, Ivy", she slammed down the phone.
