...Smackdown Taping...
-Outside The Arena-
Shelby and Wade were outside getting some fresh air. Wade sighed and looked over at Shelby. "Are you sure you are okay?" Wade questioned
Shelby looked over at Wade an slowly nodded. "I'm fine now... I'm just claustrophobic. " Shelby said "I'm just glad I wasn't trapped longer... I might of really had a panic attack."
"So that wasn't even a panic attack?" Wade asked
"No... what happened to me in the elevator wasn't really a panic attack... it was close to becoming one." Shelby said "But luckily we got out of there before it happened."
Wade nodded "So... what was it like to be trapped with Dean?" he asked
"He was actually wonderful... he really helped me." Shelby said "He reminded me of my breathing exercises... "
Wade was happy that she had help through her ordeal but he wasn't happy it was Dean. He didn't know why he just didn't trust Dean and he didn't want to give Dean a chance to try something with Shelby even if Dean said he didn't want Shelby he still thought maybe there was some hidden feelings by 1 or maybe even both he wasn't going to risk it he wanted Shelby and he was going to get her no matter what he had to do.
Wade smiled slightly "I'm glad he was there to help you through it." He smiled "So you've dealt with this for a long time I'm guessing if he knew what to do."
"Yes... sense I was like 10." Shelby said "we went on a trip in high school with my school and it was a camping thing I guess and I freaked out because we got left behind it was below zero after the sun went down and we were stuck in this shed basically... he helped me through that also."
Wade nodded his head and smiled
-Backstage-
Dean was walking around when he happened upon Roman. "Hey." Dean smiled
"I heard you got stuck in an elevator with that new Diva." Roman said
"Yeah.. wow things spread like wild fires around here huh?" Dean shook his head
"That's no lie." Roman laughed a bit. "So... how did it go?... dig up any old feelings?"
"Roman... back off." Dean said
"Oh come on..." Roman laughed
"She's claustrophobic so it wasn't the best place for feelings to arise...she damn near had a panic attack." Dean said
"So what did you do?" Roman asked
"I got her clamed down as much as possible... she did her breathing exercises and she clamed down enough for the workers to get us out... good thing they got there when they did I know Shelby was about to have a break down." Dean said
"Oh how cute... you helped her through her little ordeal." Roman smirked laughing
"Oh cut it out." Dean shook his head and walked off.
"I think we might have some old feelings coming to the surface." Roman laughed to himself.
Shelby was walking backstage when her phone rang she picked it up. "Hello?"
"Been along time Shell." A voice said on the other side of the phone.
Shelby stopped in her track when she heard that voice. "How did you get this number?"
"You don't need to know that.. but I do need to know something... where the hell are you?"
Shelby swallowed the lump that was in her throat "It's none of your business." She said in to the phone "Don't ever call me again... how many times do I have to say that." Shelby sighed and hung up her phone not again she was almost shaking she didn't look up when she started walking and bumped into someone. "Oh shoot.. I'm sorry." Shelby said looking up to see Dean.
"No problem." Dean said his hands on her shoulders from when her steadied her after bumping into her she almost knocked herself over but he had grabbed her "You okay?" Dean raised a brow he could tell she was shaking and it wasn't from their little collision.
"Yeah.. I'm.. I'm fine." Shelby sighed she wasn't but hey she wasn't going to let that on.
"No your not... I can hear it in your voice." Dean said
"Well I don't want to bore you so I'll go." She starts to walk off but Dean grabs her hand and turns her to face him
"Just tell me... I'm sure it won't bore me." Dean said
Shelby shook her head and sighed "It's just my ex... we broke up about 6 months ago and he hasn't gotten the picture yet... that's all." She said she didn't mention that she'd changed her number 3 times in the last 6 months or the fact that she left town to get away from him.
"Oh... men can be hard headed." Dean laughed a bit.
"That's for sure." Shelby smiled slightly
"Maybe you should change your number." Dean said
"Yeah... I'll probably do that." Shelby said softly why not try for a forth time maybe he won't get this number who was she kidding she told herself that the last time she changed it to and some how he got it.
"Okay.. I'll see you around." Dean started to walk away but turned around "You look beautiful by the way." Dean smiled before walking off.
Shelby's heart skipped a beat in that moment. She smiled as she watched him walk away stop this Shelby your hear to get your life together and make your dream come true not reconnect with your high school sweetheart. Shelby sighed and walked off it was almost time to start the Smackdown taping and she had to be back at the locker room to put the finishing touches on her make up and hair before that.
