In his hotel room Scott threw her car keys at the closest table then turned and lifted her into his arms again. This time his head dipped and when their lips touched he trembled because of how good it felt. "Angel," he whispered, when he broke the kiss finally. "God it's really you."

"It's really me sweetling," she replied.

"I thought that you were gone forever," he said intensely.

Angel looked into his brown eyes and melted. "I'm sorry sweetling. I thought that I was doing what was best. I didn't know how to choose between you and her. Hell Scott if I was any kind of sister I wouldn't have even thought about you that way. So I left both your lives, but the further I got from you the more it hurt. Then when I heard about her and Mike…"

"They love each other," Scott said smiling softly. "It's amazing seeing them together. Mike is so happy."

"And you're ok with it?" Angel asked tracing his cheekbones.

"Yeah," he said. "It's you that I love. She deserves to be happy. Once we both realized that we didn't love each other it was cool. Of course the shock of you leaving helped that along. God I didn't think that I'd make it without you. Everything fell apart when you left. The Kliq shattered and I just didn't have the strength to care."

"What?!" Angel asked shocked. "How the hell did that happen?"

Scott sighed and carried her to one of the beds where he reluctantly put her down, but only long enough for him to find a comfortable position himself so that he could pull her into his lap.

"Well things were strange between Mike and I for awhile," he began. "By the time things got settled down between us he'd buried himself in his home in Texas with May and no one's talked to them since. While I was glad they were both finally happy it was hard to show it being so alone."

"Kev and I broke up and unlike May and I it wasn't pretty. Kev and I don't even speak. Working together as a team is impossible so the Outsiders are no more. Sean being the ever faithful buddy that he is took Kevin's side… the ungrateful brat!"

Angel felt Scott's bitterness and shuddered. "What about Paul and PJ?" She asked softly.

"Paul and Kevin had their own heat… Kev stole Stephanie from him. Needless to say Paul took my side in the breakup. We don't really talk that much though. In fact I don't think that Paul talks to anyone much these days… he's more or less a loner."

"PJ decided that he was staying out of the whole thing. I think that he still talks to The Brat, but other than that he's pretty much exclusively ECW. Him and RVD started this thing and I think other than Raven the two of them are fairly committed to each other."

"What happened between you and Kevin?" She asked wondering if she was gonna be able to stomach the answer.

"Well there was the fact that he stole my fucking belt!" Scott snarled. "He decided to use Paul's idea of sleepin' his way into the gold. First he fucked the princess then he fucked daddy dearest. Of course he musta not been that great of a fuck cause Vince made him drop it to Matt Hardy in less than a month."

"So when Kevin took the belt from Austin it was suppose to have gone to you not Kevin?" She asked and Scott nodded but didn't speak. Looking up she could tell that he was lost in the past. It sounded to Angel that one of two things if not both happened. Angel knew that Austin didn't like Scott and the chance of him allowing his belt to be dropped to him was next to nothing. There was also a chance that they only wanted to let Scotty have the belt the short period of time

Because of the fact that Austin wouldn't job to Scotty they had decided to give Matt Hardy the push he'd been waiting for only he was wrapped up in a program with Brock Lesnar and their was no way that they would have been able to dump it overnight. When Austin found out that Scott would only have it less that a few weeks he probably agreed wanting to see Scotty humiliated. If Kevin had already been with Steph, he most likely complained not willing to have his best friend and long time lover hurt so badly. So Kevin became the butt of the joke, which was something he had probably been cool with. Humiliate him and he could care less… humiliate one of his babies and there would be hell to pay. Vince and the rest of the booking committee most likely could have cared less who the transition holder would be. They would be getting the belt off the slug Austin, who had been fired before Kevin could dump the belt to Matt, and the Hardy Boy, who had been busting his ass for a chance, would be winning the belt from one of the biggest fan favorites ever. The question now was what happened after that??

Paul and Sean would have both been privy to what was going on since they were both ON the booking committee. If Scott and Sean had a falling out and Scott refused to speak to Sean then that explained why Sean didn't tell Scott what happened. Kid could be as stubborn as Scott could and he probably decided that Kevin didn't deserve the abuse he was getting from Scott so he wrote off his friend. What about Paul though? Why didn't HE tell Scott what they were trying to do… unless Paul didn't know either… Something else had to be going on. "Scott is that the ONLY reason you and Kev broke up?"

"Do I need another fuckin' reason?" Scott growled quietly. "I busted my ass for that belt and waited a helluva long time for it only to have my best buddy steal my only chance."

Angel sighed. Apparently she was going to have to talk to someone else about this… maybe Paul… or Matt Hardy. "Scotty I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to upset you. I just don't understand how all this happened."

Scott sighed and pulling her tighter against him said, "No I'm sorry."

"I have no reason to be angry with you. You and May always loved the Kliq as much as we do. God I'm so glad that you're back baby."

"I'm glad that I'm back too," she whispered turning in his arms then raising to kneel in front of him. "I love you Scott Hall."

"God I love you too," Scott swore intensely. "Swear that you'll never leave me again."

"I swear," she breathed then leaned in to capture his lips. Scott wrapped his arms back around her and ran his hands up her back feeling her shiver at his touch. Angel's mouth slipped open and Scott's tongue swooped in. It was his turn to shiver as the sweetness of her taste assaulted his senses. She tasted like cotton candy and Scott imagined that her naked skin under his would feel like heaven.

When Angel lifted her head she moved it to hover over his heart. Panting she said, "I waited for you." Even thought he'd been hard before Scott suddenly found himself more so now. The need racing thought his body was making control nearly impossible. At that second though Shannon burst into the room and Scott half cursed and half blessed his intrusion.

"Scotty you lefted me," Shannon pouted plopping down on Scott's bed. "I see you found a new chick. Does this mean that you don't need Shanny no more? You not love Shanny after all?"

Angel was immediately enchanted. "I can't imagine anyone not being completely enamored with you Shannon Moore," she said making Shannon smile brightly.

"I like her Scotty! Are we keepin' her?" Shannon asked all smiles again.

"I thought we might," Scott replied chuckling softly.

"Cool Beaners!!" Shannon squealed slapping happily. "Who are you anyway?"

Angel laughed and knew she'd lost her heart to this bright-eyed little cherub. "My name is Angel."

"Cool," Shannon repeated then turned as he heard his friends come in behind him.

"Shannon I thought that I told you to leave Scotty alone tonight," Matt scolded making Shannon pout again.

"Don't scold him! He hasn't done anything wrong." Angel immediately said making Jeff snicker and Scott smile. He can interrupt us whenever he needs to. He thought that Scotty was leaving him. It's perfectly understandable that he would wanna talk to Scott."

Matt raised an eyebrow and Chuck slipped his head around Matt's shoulder and ran a hand over his chest. "What the hell are you doing Jungle Boy?"

"Checkin' for claw marks man," Chuck replied and Angel blushed. Jeff shook his head as Shannon smiled at Angel innocently making her smile back. "Man you have to be the biggest spoiled brat in history."

When Shannon pouted again Angel pulled him to rest up against her and Scott then kissed his cheek bringing his smile back. Like the brat he was Shannon stuck his tongue out at Jeff who stuck his out in return. Shannon got another kiss and a giggled behave from Angel while Jeff got a pop in the head from Chuck. "Man," Jeff whined making Scott laugh.

"Shanny do you think that you can give Angel and I the room tonight?" Scott asked and happily his smaller lover nodded.

"Chuck can I play with you and Jeffy tonight?" Shannon asked bouncing on the bed. When Chuck nodded he squealed and held out his arms. Shaking his head Chuck walked over and picked him up. "What about me?? What about Matty??" Matt asked pouting realizing that he'd been left out.

"I'm not playin with you cause you're mean to Shanny," Shannon huffed making Matt pout for real. Seeing that he'd upset his friend Shannon felt bad and wiggled out of Chuck's arms. "Aww I sorry Matty. I'll play with you too if you promise not to be mean to Shanny no more!" Matt nodded happily then grabbed Shannon's hand and ran from the room. Chuck sighed and picked up Jeff throwing him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Later guys!" Jeff said waiving as Chuck carried him from the room.

Smiling Angel looked up at Scotty. "He's just adorable! You chose well Love."

"Yes he is," Scott laughed then sobering asked, "now where were we?"
