"Cute place. Better than the last place you had." The visitor commented looking around, pulling out a folder from his briefcase. "Weren't you having a house built?"
"I am. It's not ready yet." she paused briefly before pointing at the folder on the kitchen counter. "What's that?"
"That, my dear, is your new contract." her guest declared proudly.
"Contract?"
"Cut the crap, Quinn." he snapped dryly. "Everything you want is in that contact and more."
"Who said I want to go back, Paul? You're the one who started showing my teaser without me signing anything." she bit back.
"Haven't you been training with Jay for the past 3 months?"
Quinn instantly tensed up, crossing her arms causing Paul to roll his eyes. "The walls have eyes. You seriously thought we wouldn't find out about it? Why else would you be beating yourself up every day?"
"Fine. You win." a defeated Quinn expressed. "Where do I sign?"
"Don't you want to read it first?"
"Nope, I trust you. I'm not sure why though." she winked at him, opening the file, going through the pile of papers and quickly scribbling her name with the pen he handed her.
"That was easier than I expected." Paul smirked down at her. "I was expecting a fight or at least a temper tantrum."
"Hey! I've never had a temper tantrum."
"You threw a shoe at Randy's head."
"He was being mean. Besides, he RKO'd me for no reason. He deserved way worse than a shoe to the head."
"You're unreal." Paul laughed shaking his head at Quinn's pouting. "Go shower. We're going out for dinner."
Quinn walked by Paul, pausing briefly to kiss his cheek before heading to her bedroom. She quickly grabbed her water bottle along the way.
"Nice new pair of twins by the way." Paul called out laughing in the process. His laughter was quickly cut off when Quinn threw her water bottle straight to his forehead.
"Fuck!" he groaned as he rubbed his forehead. "I forgot about her aim."
An hour later
Walking into the restaurant, Quinn was dressed in a pair of black cuffed shorts and a red button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her long blonde hair flowed past her shoulder. Paul walked behind her, with his hand on the small of her back guiding them to their seat. He gently pulled out the chair for Quinn before sitting down across her.
"Thanks." she smiled. "So how are Steph and the girls? I apologize for not coming around more often."
"The girls are fine." he nodded his head. "Why didn't you?"
"I don't know." Quinn shrugged. "I guess I felt after I left, it would be weird. I mean I did cut off the company completely."
"Hey. You'll always be part of the family. The girls think of you as their aunt and we absolutely love you."
"Just because you played my brother on TV, doesn't mean you have to play big brother. Brothers don't comment about their sister's tits." she teased.
When Quinn had been called up from developmental at the end of 2007, she was a naïve hard working 20 year old. She was introduced to the WWE universe as Hunter's younger sister with an attitude just as big as her brother's. She was a dominate opponent in the ring and wasn't one to back out of a fight. Despite being a heel, she captured the heart of fans with her unique style, her take no shit and fearless attitude in the ring. In February 2010, WWE released a statement that simply said they had come to terms on the release of the WWE Diva. The real reason for her departure from the company was never made public.
"You're the one who answered the door in a bra. I was only complimenting you. Besides, I'll always think of you as my sister, Quinn." he reached over patting her hand lightly. "God only knows how annoying you can be."
"Shut up." Quinn took a sip of water. She paused for a second before meeting his eyes. "We need some wine to celebrate."
His booming laughed echoed through the restaurant. "You haven't changed one bit."
"So we were thinking of bringing you back in a month."
Quinn nearly chocked on her food at his comment. "A month? I won't be ready."
"Yes you will be." Paul stated firmly. "You've been working hard with Jay. Your body is completely different than it was when you left. You're strong, you're powerful, you're controlled; heck you have abs now. You'll be fine."
"You have way too much faith in me. Apart from my practices with Jay, I haven't stepped into that ring since I left." She leaned back into her chair. "What if I can't perform like I used to? Three months of training isn't enough time to test my…"
"Relax." Paul quickly interrupted her. "We won't throw you into the ring right away. I wouldn't do that to you unless you're 100% ready. We'll bring you in to stir shit up within the Evolution/Authority storyline we have planned and you'll join the Shield at some point."
Quinn perked up and smiled. "The Shield? I can do that."
"Don't." he lifted his eyebrows at her.
"Don't what?" she teased, biting her lower lip.
"You know what. By the way, how's Trevor?"
"It's Travis." Quinn corrected him, leaning forward to grab her glass of wine. "And he's great. We're great."
"Still no engagement ring I see."
"God no."
"You've been with him for what? 3 years now?"
"Going on 4 actually."
"And you don't want to get married? You're practically married as it is."
"Marriage complicates things. I don't want to mess up something that's already perfect. And he doesn't either. We don't even live together yet." she sighed, swirling the wine in her glass.
Paul studied the woman he had grown to love as a sister. She was playing with a ring on her finger, a promise ring he assumed. It didn't make sense to him such a wonderful woman, one who didn't lack in self-esteem or personality, could be so scared of commitment. It didn't make sense to him.
"So, one month?" he smirked, giving her an apologetic look.
"One month." Quinn smiled happily, a genuine smile.
A/N: I know the story is starting up very slow. I promise it will pick up. I have so many ideas; I don't know where to throw them. I apologize for the grammar, English isn't my first language but I'm trying! I will be posting a picture of "Quinn" at some point if you're all interested to see what she looks like. Thanks for reading.
