Disclaimer: I do not own the characters affiliated with WWE, however I do own Nicole Hardy.
Author's Note: I haven't forgotten about 'Obsession' but I've been dying to do a sequel and suddenly the muses started to talk to me. So here it is, hope you enjoy, please please please review :D :D
The song featured in this chapter is 'The Blower's Daughter' by Damien Rice, and was featured in the movie 'Closer' with Jude Law and Julia Roberts and is from his album '0'. It's currently one of my inspiration songs :D
And
so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on
me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No
love, no glory
No hero in her sky
Nicole turned her eyes to the sleeping toddler, his sweet face letting her know his dreams were simple and happy, completely unaware of the world around him. Leaning back against the rocking chair she glanced over at the clock- it was 2 am and Jeff had was still not come home from work.
There was no point in calling him or going to visit him, he would just accuse her of being paranoid and selfish of his time. He would tell her that he needed to work so they could live the lifestyle they were because he wasn't about to borrow money off of her father.
Looking back at her child she smiled warmly. Her baby boy was growing up fast and he was a stunning child. He had his father's button nose and curly blonde hair- ; in fact he was the spitting image of Jeff, there wasn't an ounce of Nicole in his features.
I
can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I
can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I
can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
The front door opened and closed quietly- , he Jeff was trying to hide the fact that he was coming home late for the third time that week. Nicole wiped away her tears as he came up the stairs; she didn't need to look to see him leaning against the doorway.
"You should be in bed," he said in a low baritone.
"I was worried about you."
"Have you been crying?"
"Would you be crying if your husband hadn't come home once from work in a month in time to have dinner with you?"
"Nicole, can we not talk about this now? I've had a really hard day."
"Of course Jeff, anything you want," Nicole said moving off of the rocking chair and out of the room.
And
so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the
breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The
blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
Nicole awoke to the assault of the bright sunlight on the bed. Rolling over she noticed Jeff was fast asleep on the edge of the bed with his back to her. It had been like this since Shannon had been born- , Jeff had became cold and distant. He spent more time at work and when he was at home he devoted his time to Shannon and Shannon alone.
Nicole
watched as Jeff rolled over and let out a sigh. He looked so innocent
and beautiful as he slept, just like the man Nicole had fallen in
love with. Where had it all gone wrong? Nicole had tried so hard to
win the old Jeff back, she'd stayed with him for two miserable
years for the sake of Shannon and the fact she believed they could
make it work. I can't take my eyes off
of you Did I say that I loathe you?
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of
you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I
can't take my eyes...
Did I
say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
Jeff opened his eyes to see Nicole's blue orbs searching him. He grinned lazily and rolled out of bed and made his way into the bathroom.
"Good morning to you too," Nicole sighed and got out of bed. She found Shannon awake in his bed and playing with his Pingu teddy. , "Hey baby."
"Mommy," Shannon grinned and let his mother pick him up.
"Let's go get you and daddy some breakfast, huh?"
"Lucky Charms!"
"You want Lucky Charms for breakfast? In your dreams sunshine," Nicole laughed as she carried him downstairs and into the kitchen.
Twenty minutes later when Shannon was fed Jeff came down into the kitchen and picked up his wallet and keys.
"I have to run; I'm going to be late for work."
"You need something to eat."
"Don't start Nicole." Nicole watched Jeff run his hands through Shannon's blonde curls and kiss his head. "See you later little buddy."
"Bye daddy," Shannon said as he played with the food on his plate.
Nicole
felt a sob escape as Jeff kissed Shannon on the cheek. He looked up
at her and left the house. I can't take
my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my
mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I
can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my
mind...
'Til
I find somebody new.
"You've reached the Hardy residents; we're not here at the moment. Please leave a message after the tone and we will get back to you as soon as possible."
Kevin Nash hung up the phone in frustration. Ten times he'd called the house and not once had someone been at home.
"Boss you wanted to see me?" Paul London asked entering the room.
"Shawn Michaels has something of interest to us and I want it now."
"What would you like me to do?"
"I want you in Newport. You know what to do."
London nodded and Nash watched him leave the office. Leaning back into his leather chair Nash studied to photos that lay before him.
"Not long now Nicole, not long now."
