They left to the hotel, in silence. He was so sure that he wanted to be with her. Stephanie was ruining at his chance with a great person, but he would explain everything to her, and do everything to convince her otherwise.
She wanted him in her life, but didn't know about the drama between them and Stephanie. She also was fuming at the statement he made in the locker room.
~FLASHBACK~
"Melissa you can't so this, what if she wins?"
Melissa head shot up, and she was pissed.
"You think she can beat me? you know what never mind".
"I care for her"
She needed some answers, even if it took all night.
They arrived at the front desk to get keys.
"There is one room reserved for Mr. Paul Levesque, and Ms. Melissa Smith. Here's the keys", the attendant said to a shocked Melissa.
"I was going to tell you about that before everything happened, Vince let me have a room with you, it was a surprise", he sighed.
"Thanks, we should get to the room, we should talk about tonight, and what should happen from here", she said limping to the elevator.
He saw her trying to do things for herself, and he just grabbed her up, and carried her to their room, holding her in the elevator, and to the room. She felt save there in his arms, and he wanted it to stay like that forever. Stephanie and Test were walking out of her room noticing the two, and Paul saw him.
"Aww, the woman who kicked me out is injured, had it been me, I wouldn't be hurt", Stephanie taunted.
"You know Stephanie, you use anyone to get what you want, and I have more talent in my pinky finger than you do in that fake ass body of yours", Melissa said, as Paul put her down.
Paul walked up to Andrew, and they were close to coming to blows. Stephanie saw what was coming and threw herself in the middle.
"You think beating on women is fun, try someone your own size", Paul said.
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time, come on Paul", he said ready and waiting.
"PAUL, come on, it ain't worth it. Please", Melissa said to him from the doorway.
"Yeah, listen to her, you may hurt like she did", he said.
"You're asses are mine when I get back", Paul said.
"Wait? Where are you going?", Stephanie asked.
She wanted Melissa out, but didn't think Paul would go with her. This wasn't in the plan, and it messed everything up.
"I'm going to be by Melissa's side in therapy. Evolution knows, and your father recommended it", he said to her.
"Why would you care, oh, that's right, you still want me. Well your loss", he said closing the door.
Stephanie stood very pissed, along with Andrew, as Melissa waved and shut the door.
Paul picked her up and carried her to the bed. She looked at him, and slowly the anger faded. She was falling for him, and very hard. He sat her down on the bed, and joined her.
"You didn't have to do that", she whispered.
"What?"
"Leave the WWE for me, or carry me up here".
"It's temporary, until we get you in the ring. Vince says I won't wrestle; I'll appear on RAW, but mainly train you. I had the same injury a while back", he said looking at her.
He brushed her hair away from her face, and she smiled. This was the very reason he did it. Not for the experience, but he wanted to show her that he'd do anything for her.
"We should talk".
"Alright, I owe you that".
"Paul, I like you a lot. Whether it's love or not, I don't know, but this Stephanie business is killing whatever chance we may have. I want you to believe in me, and tonight was the first time I felt as if you didn't. What I need to know, are you over Stephanie, am I wasting my time, or am I being jealous?", she said.
"No, I'm over her, she's a Bitch. After tonight, what she did, and I know she was behind it, because it was the same thing we did to Trish, and Kurt. I want someone honest with me completely. You weren't being jealous; I was concerned, despite they way it came out. Like I said I will do whatever it takes to make this up to you", he said scooting closer to her.
"We should call it even, because I felt I had to prove something, and should have thought about the consequences a little better", she scooted closer.
"I can deal with that", he said looking at her.
They were close to each other, and continued to stare into each other's eyes. He leaned into her face, and kissed her, softly. She looked up at him, and then leaned in again, and kissed him with all the passion she had. The chemistry was building form day one, and now that they were clear at where they stood, it was only getting better.
