Stephanie McMahon walked into the arena in Greenwich and headed towards her office. She was late because her flight had been delayed and she had a couple of meetings with superstars that she had to get to.
She walked into her office for the evening and noticed that Paul had put his things in the room but he was not in the room at all. She placed her bags in the corner by his and went to sit behind her desk.
Just as she was about to sit down and look at the rating reports that were on her desk, her door opened and Paul walked into the room.
"Hey, your dad wants to see you after the show." He said not looking at her and just sitting down on the couch and turning to the television that was in the room.
"Okay, so when did you get here honey?" She asked looking at him wandering if he would talk to her or not.
"Couple of hours ago why?" He asked still not looking at her.
"Just asking," She said trying to hold back her tears.
He had been really distant with her for a few months now, but lately he had been pretty much ignoring her and all she could think was that she had to be doing something wrong.
She looked back at him and wanted to say something but refrained from it and just looked at her paperwork and tried to put it out of her mind.
Just as she was getting started on the paperwork she had to do for the evening, John Cena walked into the room. He looked from Paul to Stephanie and then proceeded over to Stephanie's desk.
He sat down in the chair opposite her and waited until she was done signing whatever it was she was doing to speak. "You wanted to see me?" He asked once she set her pen down.
"Yeah, just wanted to have a meeting about your upcoming storylines on Raw and everything."
"Oh okay," He looked at Paul again before turning back to look at her.
Stephanie noticing how uncomfortable John seemed to be talking about it in front of Paul and turned to look at her husband. "Honey?"
"What?" He asked still looking at the television set.
"I am in my meeting right now, do you mind going to Shawn's locker room or something to watch the show."
"So now I can't be in here?"
"Not when I am in a meeting, it is a distraction."
"Fine, whatever, I have better things to do anyway." With that he got up and left the room, slamming the door behind him.
"Sorry, you didn't have to do that." John said as he looked at her.
"It's alright, its not like he was paying me any attention or anything." Stephanie said without realizing it. She did a few moments later and looked down for a moment before looking back into his blue eyes.
"Sorry, you probably didn't need to know that."
"Its okay Steph, I don't mind. So what are you two fighting about?" He asked in curiosity.
"We aren't, he has just been distant lately. I have tried to talk to him but he isn't really interested in what I have to say anymore."
"Who wouldn't be interested in something someone as beautiful as you has to say?"
"Are you flirting with me Mr. Cena?"
"Since when do you call me that? And maybe I am what are you going to do about it?"
She smiled softly at him before looking down at her lap for a moment. She looked back up at him and saw a smile on his face as well.
"Well since I felt like it, and nothing."
"Nothing huh?" He asked smiling at her knowing that she was flirting with him as well. He had, had a crush on her since he had started in the company and it had only developed more since had gotten to know her.
"Nope, maybe I like it."
"Well I would hope so, but it's not everyday I am talking to such a good looking woman."
She laughed softly and felt herself start to blush a little. "Well thank you and I know that can't be true."
"But it is, and why are you blushing? Doesn't Paul tell you how beautiful you are all the time?"
"He used to tell me that almost every morning but he stopped, I guess he doesn't think it anymore."
"The thing with him is really upsetting you isn't it?" John asked concerned for her.
"Yeah, but there is nothing I can do really, he has just put up a wall."
He noticed that she had started to tear up a little so he got out of his chair and walked around the desk. He reached her chair and turned it so that she was facing him and kneeled down looking her in the eyes.
He put his arms around her and took her into his strong arms. As he pulled away from her he looked into her eyes and saw something he had never seen in them before. Before he knew what was happening she had leaned up and pressed her lips to his.
He was in shock for a moment but then came to his senses and kissed her back, a minute later she pulled away and stood up and backed away from him.
"I shouldn't have done that, I am married to a great man, and I am so sorry."
"A great man?"
"Yeah, Paul is great. Most of the time anyway. I'm sorry I have to go."
With that she ran out of the office and left him in there alone with his thoughts.
