Usual Disclaimer: Amy Dumas, Candice, Vince, and Jeff arn't mine. Maeve and Yelena are. I used lyrics, Fort Minor's The Hard Way, and I don't own that either.
Here's the first chapter of my new story. This one will be longer. I'm still thinking about the CIA thing and if you're lost about that cheek the update on my homepage.
Maeve walked down the street, pulling her jacket close to her body. The windy New York City weather bit at her rosy cheeks as she walked, her shoulder length brown hair blowing in the breeze. She laughed the crinkled her nose. Her lip ring was practically frozen and when it touched her lips it stung just a little. It had been 5 months since Jeff and Matt had left her house, and a week and 2 days since she last saw her boyfriend, who was Jeff. Her phone rung in her pocket, singing and vibrating against her thigh.
"Come with me let me walk you through the world I currently live in, not a thing is forgotten, not a thing is forgiven. Nobody can hold their own underneath the weight, but nobody can take the blame for their own mistakes. So what do you do when somebody lets you down and you want to say something but you can't cause they're not around. Inside you think they know the extent of the pain but they wont even admit that they where the one to blame. Can somebody please just explain to me what happened to the way that we said we'd always be? Right now I'm losing hope…give me one reason not too."
She didn't want to move her hands from the warm sanctuary of her leather jacket pockets. She sighed and watched the cool December air turn her breath visible.
"Hello?" She asked, pressing the small button on her iPhone.
"Maeve? Hey this is Candace."
"Oh hi! I want to thank you again for helping with my training."
"You're welcome. Amy say's hi."
Maeve laughed. "Tell her hi. What do you need?"
"Well, I know you're having you're little week vacation in New York after our treacherous training sessions," She said dramatically. Maeve laughed again. "But we wanted to come up and treat you to a shopping spree as a congratulations your debut."
"Aw, you guy's don't have to do that! And besides my debut isn't for two weeks. I still have to go over it with Jeff and he doesn't even know about the whole "Me being a diva" thing."
"YES WE DO!"
Maeve heard Amy shout from the background. She laughed.
"No really, where coming up and there's nothing you can do to stop us. Bu bye."
"Wait Candice!"
But all she heard was the dial tone. She laughed again and stuffed the phone in her pocket, following the flow of the people and letting herself daydream.
Maeve pulled her scarf from around her neck and hung it on the coat tree by the door. She took her jacket off also and hung it up, taking her phone, wallet, and keys from the pockets and setting them on the counter. She turned looking down and fluffed the snow out of her hair. When she looked up she gasped. Jeff was sitting on her couch with that little grin of his. He was wearing a black thigh sweatshirt along with a pair of black baggie trip pants with out chains. His hair was orange this time and tied up in a bun, his usual bandana around his forehead.
"Jeff!"
He stood up still grinning and she made a mad dash over to him. He wrapped his arms tightly around her. She took a deep breath smiling at his sent; his shampoo Head and Shoulders, and smiled into his chest.
"I missed you!" She squealed.
"Wow! You seem happy to see me!"
She gasped and kissed him hard and full on the lips.
"Of coarse I'm glad to see you moron! Why wouldn't I be?" He pouted.
"What?"
"You called me a moron."
"Aw, babe."
She kissed him again. "Stop being such a wuss."
He smirked. "I'm only a wuss for you."
She blushed.
"Stop it!" She let go of him and moved into the other room, her bedroom and opened the top draw. "Really, why would you think I wouldn't be glad to see you?"
He stood behind her silently and picked up one of the pillows and fiddling with the end of it.
"Vince told me."
Her body tensed and she stopped for a few seconds.
"How long did you really think you could hide it from me?"
"I wasn't hiding from you Jeff. I wanted it to be a surprise." She turned to him and frowned. "And now it's all ruined."
"What do you mean?" He asked, lying down on the bed.
She shut the draw and walked over. She sat down next to him until he pulled her down so she was next to him. She moved her head onto his chest. "Well I was going to come down to Cameron and visit you and Jeff and make a big dinner, then I was going to announce it to everybody, Dianna, Shane and Shannon."
He sighed and she felt his chest go up and down as he breathed. He traced a small circle on her neck, smiling at her smooth tanned skin. He looked down at her.
"I'm hungry." She grinned and sat up.
"I know this great café."
The bell rang above them as they entered the quaint little café, talking to themselves and huddled together, hands held by each other's. The whole place was warm and toasty. Christmas decorations hung and glittered around them as they stripped their coats. Maeve laughed and shook her hair again.
"It grew so much!" Jeff commented.
She nodded. "I know, I all way's have to cut it. I thought I'd let it grow out though."
He smiled after slipping out of the gloves he had on and running his hands through her hair. "I like it."
She grinned and pecked him lightly on the lips. "Thank you, I'm glad."
They sat down in a both together and Jeff immediately put his hand on the table. He had learned that Maeve liked to play with people's hands. That she liked to hold them and play with the fingers and just feel the skin. She reached out and looked down at his hands, wrapping her fingers around them and then tapping his fingers lightly. She looked up and smiled at him. The waiter came around and she ordered a Coke, him a Dr. Pepper.
"How's Mattie?"
Jeff shrugged. "Don't know, you've probably talked to him just about as much as I have."
Maeve always forgot he was on a different show, therefore in a different place. That fact there would have made it far more difficult for her to get everyone at Jeff's house at the same time.
"I miss you guys. It seems like eternity since we all went swimming together back at my estate."
He smiled at her comfortingly.
"All good things have to come to an end, we couldn't stay in the little fantasy world forever Maeve. We can't leave real life, no matter how hard we try."
She smiled. "So poetic! I know I know," She whispered sheepishly. They ate together, laughing and talking about her training with Candice and Amy.
"You have to teach me how to do a Swanton!" She laughed as they walked down the sidewalk, his and wrapped around her waist and tucked into her coat pocket, hers in the back pocket of his pants. With the other on she sucked diligently on a red and white striped candy cane. She held it up and he took a lick before she stuck it back in her own mouth.
"Well can you do a Whisper in the Wind?" She nodded.
"Well it's more complicated than a Swanton so you should be able to get it. Well rehers it when we practice the match with Eddie."
"Who?"
"Umaga, that's his real name."
"Oh." He laughed and she did also.
"Got it!"
They sat on the couch together. Maeve was snuggled into Jeff's chest fast asleep and he was watching the end of I Robot. He smiled down at her then switched on the TV. He flipped through the channel and then left it on Seinfeild. He watched it, keeping the volume down, the tried not to chuckle at antics. A loud buzzer went off and he jumped causing Maeve to wake up. She moaned and looked over at the door.
"Could you get that?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.
He nodded and stood up. Walking to the door he opened it and turned around.
"There's no one there."
She broke out laughing hysterically and his faced flushed red.
"That was the buzzer, look on the wall, and see the little intercom thingy? You press the button and ask who it is."
He looked at her then at the intercom.
"Okay so you just press it and ask right?"
She had stretched out and pushed her face into the pillow.
"Uh huh."
She closed her eyes. He walked over and pressed the button.
"Yes? Who is it?"
"Jeff?"
"Amy?"
"Jeff, this is Candice and Amy. Can we come up? It's cold out here."
"I don't know…"
"Jeff!"
Maeve pelted the pillow viscously at his head and it hit her target.
"Ow!" He whined.
"Hit the button!"
He did and walked back to sit down. A little bit later they could hear the two tramping up the stairs, laughing. Jeff had left the door slightly ajar and Candice and Amy walked in. Maeve had buried her head in Jeff's lap and gone to sleep again. He held up his finger to his lips and shushed. They looked at each other, Amy and Candice, and rolled their eyes.
"We'll come back tomorrow okay Maeve?"
She moaned and they laughed. The two left, closing the door behind them.
"Macaroni and Cheese okay? It's what I feel like." Maeve said.
The curtains now covered the giant window of her apartment and blocked out the city lights. Jeff looked up from the TV. He had changed earlier when Maeve had turned on the heater. He was now dressed in a baby blue Carolina Basketball Jersey, a pair of shorts and socks, still wearing his bandana. Maeve was dressed in a pair of jeans, a black Pixies tee shirt, with her hair up in a bun like Jeff's. He'd done it while she had still sleeping.
"It don't matter to me." She smiled then nodded.
"Okay! Macaroni and Hot dogs it is."
He chuckled and watched her move around the kitchen. The pots where on the stove to boil and she opened the fridge, bringing out a bag of celery.
"What's that for?" He asked curiously, watching her still.
"Logs."
"Logs?" She nodded.
"Yup!" She didn't look to him but continued to cut and wash the vegetable.
"It's really Ant's on a Log, but I don't like raisons."
He rolled his eyes.
"You're so weird."
Grinning she finally looked up, meeting his green eyed gaze with her brown.
"I know we are."
There's the fist chapter! This is the sequel to my other story, Vacation, All I Ever Needed, so if you're a little lost I advise you to cheek it out.
