Walking towards the elevator after he left his room he paid careful attention of the people he passed to make sure that it wasn't any of the other wrestlers or divas. Calling the elevator he waited patiently for it to arrive and when it did he was relieved it was empty. Immediately stepping inside he hit the number six and waited. The short distance up to Stephanie's floor was an anxious time for him, he just wanted to get to her without being noticed. Arriving in front of Stephanie's hotel room door he knocked gently and waited to be allowed in.

It had to have been no more than ten minutes since Stephanie had arrived at her hotel room when there was a knock on the door. Pushing herself up from the bed she walked towards the door at a moderate pace so she wasn't too eager but didn't keep him waiting too long incase they got caught. Swinging the door open she smiled seeing Paul on the other side and playfully pulled him inside by the sides of his jacket.

Stumbling into the hotel room he was amused by the greeting, "well hello to you too."

Taking a quick look out of the door she was satisfied that the corridor was empty so shut the door firmly, "did anybody see you?"

Shaking his head he shrugged off his jacket, "no, well not any of the wrestlers but obviously I saw other people who are staying here."

Nodding her head she was satisfied with that answer, "okay good."

Paul stood there for a minute and just stared at her hoping she would get the hint but when she didn't move he shook his head, "do I not get a proper welcome?"

Blushing she ducked her head briefly feeling guilty before she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist and moved onto tiptoes and kissed his cheek, "I'm sorry."

Smiling softly when she rested her head on his chest he slipped his arms around her waist and held it before placing a soft kiss to the top of her head, "it's okay."

After a minute she pulled away and took a seat on the bed and was soon joined by Paul who bent down to undo his shoes. Once his shoes were undone he sat back up and kicked them off with his feet, "so what are we going to have for dinner?"

Turning to look at him slightly outraged she shook her head, "so no cuddling? Straight here and you immediately want dinner huh?"

Nodding he smiled sweetly, "we can order dinner and then cuddle whilst we wait for it to arrive and then we don't have to keep moving out of each other's arms."

Moving to the phone she sat by the edge of the bed, "do you know what you want?"

Laughing softly he nodded, "I'd like a steak medium rare and some fries will be fine if they don't have mash please."

Nodding her head she picked up the phone and dialled down to reception and started ordering their dinner. When it came to the lady at Reception asking if she wanted dessert she turned to look at Paul, "do we want dessert?"

Turning her attention back to the phone she ordered their drinks completely forgetting about what she had asked Paul about dessert.

Paul had no plans to have dessert but when Stephanie offered it and then turned her attention away from him he decided to attempt to have some fun with her, "I'd like some dessert please."

Feeling slightly distracted between listening to Paul and the lady from Reception, "okay what is it Paul?"

Sensing the distraction he smirked, "I'd like some pancakes each cut into the shape of a duck."

Starting to relay the message she said, "can we have some pancakes cut in . . ." When he brain caught up with what he had asked she stopped talking and turned to look at Paul and hissed, "in the shape of ducks?"

Unable to contain his laughter Paul started laughing which just earnt him a glare from his girlfriend as she turned her attention back to the phone and simply asked for plain pancakes.

Finishing up the order Stephanie put the phone down before she turned to Paul and glared at him, "what the fuck was that about?"

Composing himself he looked at her with an innocent smile on his face, "you were so distracted, I wanted to see what I could get away with. Can we cuddle now though please? We've missed valuable cuddle time having to order food as we're hungry."

Crossing her arms over her chest she pouted, "I don't know that I want to cuddle with you any longer."

Moving around the bed to sit right beside her he laid his head on her shoulder and pouted, "I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to upset you."

Tilting her head to rest the side of her head on the top of his she sighed softly, "you promise?"

Sliding his arms around her waist and not moving his head he rubbed her side softly not able to nod his head, "I promise. I just wanted to see how much I could get away with, I genuinely thought you would have noticed the second I said it. I am sorry if you're upset by it though and I understand if you want me to leave."

Lifting her head from his she attempted to turn a little in his arms, "I don't want you to leave, you can't leave me."

Gripping hold of him as tightly as she could manage she didn't want him walking out of the door because she was afraid he wouldn't walk back in.

Sensing that something wasn't right by the grip she had on him he pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, "then I'm staying right here with you baby. Shall we get comfortable and cuddle on the bed?"

Nodding her head she reluctantly released her grip from around his waist and moved onto the bed not taking her eyes off of him as she moved. A little voice inside of her head told her that he suggested cuddling because he was going to run for the door but she hoped not which was why she continued to watch him.

Feeling her eyes on him constantly he lifted his gaze to hers and smiled soflty as she moved to the top of the bed and got comfortable against the pillows at which point he moved up the bed and lay down next to her getting himself comfortable also.

Once Paul seemed comfortable she moved closer to him and lay down next to him resting her head on his chest and draping her arm possessively over his waist.

Wrapping his arms around her waist he held her close before kissing the top of her head, "this is where I'm meant to be."

Nodding her head against his chest she closed her eyes and breathed in the smell of his aftershave allowing her emotions to boil over and a lone tear to slip down her cheek whispering, "please don't leave me again."

Lifting his hand from her waist to run it through her hair gently to attempt to soothe her he felt so bad that she was affected so deeply, "I promise baby, I'm never going to leave you again."

Things may be hard for her right now but he could only hope as the days passed things got easier and she could relax in the knowledge that he wasn't going to leave her again.
