Shape Of My Heart By: Alexus Hardy

Chapter I- Little Did I Know

(Sitting at my desk writing in my journal) July 20,2001 My life has never been that exciting. For me it's school, work, and home. Don't get me wrong I go to parties but usually I'm too tired to enjoy myself. My friends are always telling me

"Lex, you need a man!"

"A man! Girl Bye, I don't have time for a man I barely have time for myself."

Little did I know my whole life was about to change.

It was work as usual. Me standing at my station at Cracker Barrel when I look up and see a guy staring a whole through me. His multi-colored blonde hair was pulled into a ponytail but some had worked its way onto his face and brought my attention to his piercing green eyes. I was in a daze when I heard my boss say to me.

"Alexus, take this tray to table four."

"Table four! That's his table!" I said to myself.

As I walked over to the table I kept thinking to myself "please don't let me fall or embarrass myself in any way."

When I got to the table I realized who the guy was, it was WWF superstar Jeff Hardy.

"Oh My God!!! Jeff Hardy was staring at me!!! Maybe I was seeing things maybe he was looking at someone else. Maybe I have something on my face.

I ran to the ladies room to check, but there was nothing there. As I walked out of the restroom I felt something hit me in the back of the head.

"Oh excuse me! Guess I should be more careful." I heard a voice say from behind me.

When I turned around I was shocked. It was Jeff.

I couldn't bring myself to speak. I just smiled and finally the words came. "No problem, don't worry about it."

"Is your head alright?"

"It's fine really I'll live."

" By the way my name is Jeff har."

" Hardy I know." I said with a smile.

" My name is Alexus." I said.

" Very nice to meet you Jeff."

" You too Alexus, no last name."

We looked at each other and we started to laugh.

" Ironically it's Hardy, I'm Alexus Hardy.

We started laughing again.

"Well I better get back to work before I get fired, but before I go can I get your autograph?" I pulled out my notepad and pen and handed them to Jeff.

He gladly signed and with a smirk on his face he says. " Can I ask you something?"

"Of course." I said.

"Why did u run away from my table? Was something wrong?"

I didn't know what to say. I felt my face get hot and I knew I was blushing.

" Come on you can tell me." Jeff said smiling.

" Well I saw you staring at me before I came over and when I got to your table you turned away from me which made me think that I had something nasty on my face or something so I came to the ladies room to."

"You saw me staring at you?"

" Well I-I-I-thought you were staring at me. Was I way off base?"

" No you were right I was staring at you and I turned away because when my brother said you were coming I didn't want you to see how happy I was to see you coming over."

Now I know I was blushing but I didn't care.

" I have to get back to work."
