As Stephanie McMahon-Hemsley made her way through the Arco arena, she couldn't
help but replay the kiss that took place last night, in her head. Sure, she had
acted like she hated it in front of the cameras, but that's what she was
supposed to do, right? She was supposed to pretend like it had meant nothing to
her, like it had sickened her, when really, it had excited her.
The kiss between her and Jericho had been planned, she had known about it for at
least a week, but she hadn't known of the aftereffects it would have on her, she
hadn't known of the turmoil that it would put her through, she hadn't known of
the love she shared for him.
"Steph?"
Looking up, she locked eyes with the person who she would have to 'root' for
tonight, "Yeah, Test?"
"Is something bothering you?"
Can you hear it in my voice
Was it something I let slip
Before Stephanie could lie, and tell him nothing was bothering
her, Test's theme music began, signaling that it was time for them to go.
"We'll talk about this later." He stated sternly, before turning back
around and opening the curtain.
Stephanie sighed with relief as she put on a fake mischievous smile and followed
him through the curtain, once again she been able to dodge the question of the
day....for now.
Does the whole world know
Isn't it obvious
As she made her way towards the ring, and watched as Test
stepped into it, she couldn't help but look over at Chris, who in return smiled
down knowingly at her.
I'm the one who's in control
She couldn't help but wonder if he knew, if he knew how much she
yearned for him, how much she wanted him, how much she need him. As the last
thought popped into her head, she immediately scolded herself, she wasn't
supposed to need him, she wasn't supposed to need anything or anyone for that
matter. She was supposed to be the billion dollar princess who could have
anything, or anyone she wanted,...anyone but Chris.
Now I'm acting like a fool
Do my feelings show
Is my face aglow
Isn't it obvious
As she watched the two boys battle it out in the ring, she
couldn't help but applaud as Chris put a bulldogger on Test.
After realizing what she had just done, she immediately blushed, and prayed that
no one had seen her, but of course someone had, and he smiled down knowingly at
her once again.
That I don't know what I'm doing anymore
I'm feeling like a little girl
Caught up in emotions
I'm out of control
Isn't it obvious
Stephanie knew it was time for her to interfere, it was time for her to break up
the move Chris was about to put on Test, so as Chris got on the ropes, she shook
them, sending Chris pummeling towards the ground.
Do you see my hands, they tremble
Wonder why I can't look you in the eyes
As the match continued on, and Rhyno came down to the ring to
interfere, Stephanie turned her head towards the crowd, already knowing what
their reaction to seeing one of their favorite wrestlers get beaten, was going
to be.
As her eyes shifted from one horrified face to one angry looking face, she
couldn't help but gulp as she saw a sign held up in her direction, it read,
"Kiss him back, Kiss him back," in bright red letters, and well she
could be a little dense sometimes, but it didn't take a genius to figure out who
that person was referring to.
Don't know how long
I can keep this inside
Isn't it obvious
"Steph, Stephanie!!" Test called from inside the ring,
breaking up her thoughts, "NOW's our chance, distract him."
Stephanie looked up to realize that Chris was in front of her, inching towards
Rhyno, who was lying on the ground, half-conscience from the blow to the
stairwell.
Doing the only thing she could think of, she ran up behind Jericho, and slapped
him in his back, and then after that it had only taken Chris a second to turn
around, and glare at her menacingly.
That I don't know what I'm doing anymore
I'm feeling like a little girl
Caught up in emotions
I'm out of control
Isn't it obvious
Stephanie had him chasing her around the ring for a while, and
then when she figured he was exhausted enough, she hopped into the ring, causing
him to follow, and get a boot in the head by Test.
As Stephanie slid out of the ring, and was embraced by Rhyno, she couldn't help
but look into the ring at Chris
"Steph, you did great." Rhyno said, sucking up to his boss, who wasn't
really paying attention, "from the looks of it, you might not have to worry
about Chris anymore"
Suddenly these emotions are in control of my heart
Can you see it in my eyes
Every glance, every smile must give me away
And i feel so much I can't hide
Stephanie looked at Rhyno confusingly, and then suddenly it hit
her, Jericho had a concussion the night before
As she was pulled towards the ramp by the two boys, she couldn't help but look
at Chris with concern, she could tell he was in pain, and would probably need
medical attention, and that scared her.
That I don't know what I'm doing anymore
I'm feeling like a little girl
So many questions were running through her head as the trio got
backstage, and split up from one another: Was Jericho going to be okay? Should
she go back out there? Should she go talk to him....should she tell him she
loved him?
Caught up in emotions
I'm out of control
Isn't it obvious
Instead of doing any of the options, she ran towards the women's
locker room, luckily for her no one was in there at the moment.
Digging through her black bag that someone had discarded in the corner of the
room, she came upon her one treasure, her Jericho shirt.
Stephanie brought the shirt up to her nose, and inhaled his masculine scent. She
knew she'd have to come clean soon, she'd have to tell him, and she'd have to
tell the whole world, she'd have to tell everyone, she was, is, and will always
be..in love with Chris Jericho
****
This is dedicated to Steph, who doesn't believe those two are destined to be
together. GET WITH THE PROGRAM~~
