A/N- This is my first wrestling fic, so i hope you like it. Constructive criticism is appreciated, dont be to mean though, please.
I turn off the vaccume cleaner and glance up at the clock, 3:24. My boys will be home in about two hours which will give me time to prepare them dinner. I put the cleaning supplies away and walk into the kitchen to begin cooking. It still amazes me at how close I still am to all of them. It seems like yesterday that they were throwing mud at me and pulling on my pony tail. I shouldnt say them, as it was more like Jeff and Shannon, who had it out for me since i was seven and met them in first grade. Matt was always on my side, helping me fight them, which seemed odd since Jeff was his brother and Shannon was his best friend.
As we got older, we all became good friends. It was Jeff and Shannon and Me and Matt to be technical. In all honesty, they were all my best friends, i didnt have many girl friends, and I never hung out with girls, it was always me and the boys. They were there for me when I got picked on for my height, defending me till the end. I was always a good four inches taller the the rest of the girls in school, and they all picked on me for it, including the other boys. Even Jeff would throw in an insult from time to time, he of course, was joking..most of the time. Matt used to tell me it would come to my advantage someday, and he was right. All those boys that picked on me in elementary school and middle school wanted me in High school. I'd be lying if I said I didnt take pleasure in turning them all down.
Jeff and Shannon were always in trouble, for stupid childish shit. Matt was always the serious one, making sure we were always on time for school and that we did our homework, he was worse then our own fathers. The older i got, the closer i grew to all three of them, we had sleepovers, which always ended in Jeff pulling a mean prank on me, leaving Shannon rolling on the floor laughing and Matt pissed off. He was a little protective of me, i was like his little sister. I am three years younger then him, making me the same age as Jeff and Shannon.
I used to have a crush on Matt, i was twelve at the time. I remember when he had his first date, we were all over at his and Jeffs house, waiting for him to get ready. I was so jealous, and he was so clueless. Infact, the only person who seemed to take notice of my infatuation with the elder Hardy, was Jeff. And when he figured it out, he didnt waste any time in embarassing me to no end. He did have the decency not to tell Matt, but he did tell Shannon, who was more understanding then Jeff. Turns out, Amamnda Evans and Matt didnt last long, much to my relief. Being twelve and thinking your in love isnt easy, especially with two assholes to make fun of you for it everyday.
I got over the crush a few years later, around the time i met Adam Sellers. He was the first guy to ask me out, and to say Matt, Jeff and Shannon werent happy would be an understatement. I heard it all from, fourteen is to young to date, to Adam has a bad reputation. When i insisted on going, they insisted on Adam picking me up at their house. I wasnt to thrilled at the idea, but gave in, knowing that if i didnt, they would end up following us.
They gave Adam the third degree, that im surprised he still took me out. Turns out, meeting Adam didnt stop them from following us, actually, only Matt and Shannon did. I was hurt that Jeff didnt care enough about me to come along then realised that i have no reason to feel like that. That evening ended earlier and i never heard from Adam again. I was pissed at Matt and Shannon for a while, but got tired of talking to Jeff, which is like talking to a mime, so i forgave them. Jeff was only like that when it was just him and me talking, its not that he didnt like me because he did, it was just that...well, i dont really know what it was.
I remember my highschool senior prom, at the time, Matt was training to become a wrestler, as were Jeff and Shannon, but they were still in school. Anyway, I remember being upset that i didnt have a date to the prom, at the time i didnt know why, but i ended up going with Shannon and Jeff of course, who talked me into going. I later learned that they threatened people that were going to ask me to prom. I confronted them about it and they layed the blame on Matt, which wasnt hard to believe. I got over it, and had a good time.
All three of them have contracts with the WWE and are on the road four days a week, sometimes more. That leads me to where i am now, standing in the kitchen cooking. I live here, along with Matt and Jeff. Shannon lives not even a mile down the road, but spends more time here then he does at his own place. My job is to take care of the house(s) and the animals. I wanted to get a real job so I could contribute my own money into the house, but Matt said that there was no point in that, since someone had to be here to take care of the animals and the house(s), and if it wasnt me, then they would have to hire someone to do it, and im the only one that can get Liger to eat, besides Jeff. Liger is Jeffs dog, Matt has a dog Lucas, and Shannon has two dogs, Bo and Jack.
Im happy at this point in my life, but i know it isnt going to last forever. Im twenty Three and i want to get married and have kids someday and i doubt any man would want to live here with two other men. I would also like to travel around the country and maybe even world for a year or two. Everytime I try and discuss this with Matt, he changes the subject. One day though, he is going to have to listen.
I turn the stove off that was keeping the mac and cheese warm, when i see the jeep pull up through the window.. I laugh when I see Shannon in the back, attempt to get out, and Jeff back the Jeep up causing poor Shannon to fall out. I hear some foul language from Shannon and laughter from Jeff, and I see Matt shaking his head trying not to laugh while making his way in. I hear the front door open and i quickly retreat into the room to meet them. Upon seeing me, Shannon hugs me and lifts me in the air and spins me around.
" Raegan, I missed you so much. What did you make us to eat"? He asks setting me back down on the floor.
" Is that all I am to you, a woman to make food, and dont you have your own place that has food"? I ask, smirking at him.
" Yeah, but your food is so much better then mine, and of course i see you as more then the woman who cooks me food, you also do my laundry." I laugh and hug him again. I never realise how much I miss them, even Jeff, when they are gone. I whisper to Shannon that the foods done in the kitchen, it doesnt take him long to retract from my hug and make his way to the kitchen. I turn around looking at Matt and Jeff. I stand there waiting for Matt's hug.
" C'mon, didn't you miss me at all"? I say in a little girls voice, smiling when I see Matt smirk.
" You know I did Rae, now get your cute ass over here and give me a hug" I laugh and jump into his awaiting arms. He hugs me back so tight, i can hardy breathe. I pull back and look at him.
" Aw Matty, I missed you to, but that food i worked hard on is in the kitchen getting cold, so go" He hugs me again, telling me how much he missed me and went to the kitchen with Shannon. I look at Jeff who is on the floor, petting Liger, who is bathing Jeff's face with his tongue. Jeff stands up and walks past me to get to the kitchen. I grab his hand before he gets to far, he stops and turns around, with a smirk on his face.
" I thought you forgot about me, to preoccupied with Matt and Shannon"
" Yeah, well you thought wrong" I say as he wraps his arms around my mid section, which was odd for Jeff to do, especially to me. He isnt exactly the most touchy feely type of guy, but then again, sometimes he is.
" So does this mean that you missed me"? He asks. When im silent for awhile, he drops his arms and looks hurt at my lack of words. He turns to walk away but i quickly pull him back into me, hugging him like i havent seen him in forever.
" Maybe just a little" I whisper into his hair. He pulls me closer and holds me tighter.
" It's good to know" He whispers back. We pull apart and head to the kitchen, I take a few extra moments and try to get my heart to slow down.
A/N- Sorry for the long boring paragraphs, i just wanted you all to get a backround on whats happening. I promise more dialogue in the next chapter. When it says she takes care of house(s) that mean theirs and shannons. So i hope you review and tell me what you think
