It was late afternoon and Stephanie had just come in from sunbathing by the pool because she was getting hassled by an occupant who had a friend over who was a big WWE fan and wanted to know where Paul was so she opted for the safety of the apartment to get away from it all. Putting the tape of Raw from last night into the DVD player she pressed play to watch it now as she had not watched at the time preferring to take a bath instead.
Meanwhile Paul was just landing at Miami airport to rent a car to drive to Boca to see Stephanie, he avoided all fans questions and autographs citing that he was late for an appointment so they wouldn't think he was too much of an ass and he got in his car and started driving.
Back in the apartment Paul was just coming out for his match and as soon as she saw him and saw the look on his face before he had his Game face up she wound on knowing she couldn't watch that match as it would kill her inside. Out of the blue the door buzzer rang so Stephanie cautiously got up and went to answer it, she picked up the intercom phone and said, "hello?"
Paul heard Stephanie's voice and knew he'd hit the jackpot, "Steph, it's me Paul, please let me in."
She froze, he was at her door yet no one except her Mom knew where she was. Suddenly it dawned on her that her Mom had ratted her out to him and told him where she was and she couldn't help but be harsh with him, "what do you want Paul?"
He said, "I want to talk to you, please let me up."
Stephanie sighed, "no, I want some space."
Slamming the phone down she immediately went back to the lounge and picked up her cell phone as she had a bone to pick with her Mom.
She sat back down on the couch and dialled the mansion's number when the answer phone picked up Stephanie hung up and dialled the Stamford office's number and asked to be put through to Mandy Linda's secretary, "hello Linda McMahon's secretary, how can I help you?"
"Hi Mandy it's Steph, can you put me through to my Mom please?"
"Hi Steph, I saw your gorgeous fiancé earlier, damn you're a lucky woman. I'll check with your Mom as she said she wasn't taking calls." After a brief pause she came back on the line, "okay putting you through."
"Hi Steph, are you settling in alright?"
"Everything was fine thanks, until a certain someone showed up, someone I told you not to tell where I am."
Linda frowned, "uh Steph what are you on about? I didn't tell anybody where you are. Paul came to see me this morning but I told him that I promised you I wouldn't say and he'd have to find out for himself or wait for you to get in contact so if he is there I don't know how he found out."
Stephanie sighed, "what am I going to do Mom? I don't think he is going to give up easily now he knows where I am but I don't think I can face him."
"Steph I think you need to sort things out with him, at least let him know where he stands as quite frankly you're killing him with things as they are."
"What do you mean Mom?"
Linda gave a slight chuckle, "Steph I know you don't want to hear this but that man absolutely adores you, he'll do anything for you and having you run off leaving him with nothing to go on is killing him inside, when I saw him earlier I could see it in his eyes."
Stephanie sighed, "Mom, I love him I really do but I don't know that I can go through with this."
"Steph talk to him, if things are going too fast I'm sure things can be slowed down or whatever to make you happy and comfortable just talk to him alright?"
"I guess that's my only option, thanks Mom I needed this chat"
"You're very welcome Steph; you know I'm always here for you when you need me. Take care of yourself and be honest with Paul okay?"
"I will on both counts, I'll talk to you later, bye."
"Bye Steph."
With that Stephanie put her cell phone on the table and walked over to the intercom to see if he was still there, "Paul are you there?"
Paul quickly got up from where he was sat on the ground, "yes I'm here Steph."
"Come on up then, I think we need to talk."
She pressed the door release button for him and Paul started on his way to the apartment.
