Ok, the mind is working again on another story. This time it's wrestling. I have no idea how it's going to turn out. But bare with me if I don't get everything right. That's why they call it fiction. No money will be made. All obvious characters belong to the WWE. The obvious original characters belong to me. No money will be made from this, it's just a little bit of fun. I have nothing to sue for, so relax. Have fun reading.
Jeff Hardy raised his sunglasses to the top of his head and squinted his eyes at the sign, T&S Custom Embroidery and Graphics. Well, it was the right place Adam Copeland had sent him to. Since he had been drafted to the Smackdown brand he needed someone to design and make his wrestling attire since his previous person quit. The place was a two story house with an attached building to the left which had the sign on it. Jeff was wondering what Adam was getting him into by sending him to someone's home. But Adam had said this person was good and had designed all his ring attire, which Jeff had to admit, was damn good looking.
When he got to the door, he turned the knob and stepped inside. No one was around but he could hear the hum of sewing machines in the background. "Hello?" Jeff called as he looked around the room. He took a step towards the counter and he tripped over something laying on the floor. "Whoa!!" Quickly catching his balance he looked down to see the item he tripped over. A dump truck. But when he glanced up at a figure coming out of the backroom he almost lost his balance again. The figure was the single most beautiful woman he had seen in a very long time.
"I apologize. Simon doesn't do a very good job a keeping his toys picked up. Of course, he's just turned three."
Jeff watched the woman lean down to pick up the dump truck and toss it in the toy chest to her left. "That's ok. I need to watch were I step I guess."
"With Simon running around, it's a good idea. I'm sorry, my name is Thalia. You must be Jeff Hardy." Thalia extended her hand. "Adam told me he was sending another wrestler by."
"Nice to meet you. Yes I'm Jeff." Ok, Jeff, he thought to himself, stop with your thoughts. The woman's probably married. He couldn't help but stare. Thalia had her black hair pulled up in a plastic clip that showed off her smooth skin on her neck. And she was wearing pants that should be illegal. Velour pants that stuck to her like skin. And a short sleeve shirt that matched the pants that should be banned as well.
"Is that right?"
Thalia broke his thoughts, thank god. Jeff blinked, "Excuse me, I'm sorry?"
"I asked you if you had pictures of your ring attire that I can draw and design from."
Clearing his throat, Jeff walked up to the counter and set his photos in front of Thalia. "Yes I do. I hope these will get you started."
"I think those should be fairly easy to go from. You'll have to tell me colors and the type of material you like."
"Sure. Adam said you were good at what you do, so I trust you on that part."
"I like to think I am." Thalia smiled at Jeff and continued to look at his photos.
Jeff wished he had a stool to sit when she smiled. He noticed she had blue eyes that shined. Damn, he wasn't usually his bad around women. The Divas that wrestled didn't catch his eye, but a mother of a three year old boy that was a professional seamstress sure did.
Thalia put Jeff's picture's aside and glanced up and caught his eyes on her. He had probably shoulder length black hair with blue highlights that was pulled back. What caught her attention was his eyes. They were a gorgeous green. Not to mention that he had his facial hair shaved into different stripes along his chin and jaw line, along with the numerous tattoos that she could see. She seen a number of wrestlers come through her door, but there was something about Jeff Hardy that was unique. She liked him already. Thalia broke the silence.
"Well. I can work up some drawings and have them ready for the next time you stop by."
"That sounds good to me."
"Oh, here is my card. It has my numbers on it. Just give me a call."
"I'll do that." Jeff nodded his head, "Thanks again." After shutting the door behind him he was walking and reading Thalia's card when he heard a car door close. A little boy came bounding up the sidewalk towards him. "Hi there."
"Hello." The little boy said quickly and dashed past him and went through the door and into the house.
Jeff smiled. Simon. He had black hair just like his mom, and also had her beautiful blue eyes. Black hair and blue eyes. Jeff thought that could be a dangerous combination.
Jeff sat down in front of his locker getting ready for his match on Smack down when Adam sat down next to him.
"How's it going Jeff?"
"Goin' good."
"Did you drop your pictures off at T&S?"
Jeff smiled at that thought. "Yeah I did. Why didn't you tell me the 'T' stood for Thalia?"
"Why would I have to?"
"I was just suprised she was a woman is all." Jeff fell silent after he spoke.
"There's something else?"
Jeff chuckled slightly. "Yeah. You also didn't mention she was drop dead gorgeous either. Man she is hot."
"Hey don't get any ideas with her ok." Adam's face turned very serious.
Jeff frowned at Adam. "Why would you think I would do anything?"
"If you do decided to do anything and end up hurting her or Simon, you're nuts will be in a sack." Adam slapped Jeff hard on the left shoulder and got up to head down to his locker.
A few weeks later, Jeff found himself in a familiar spot as he walked into Thalia's place. He had been there two other times since the first time he met her and dropped off pictures. What he found amazing was, Thalia drew everything freehand that she designed. When he first had seen the designs for his attire he thought that were seriously computer generated. They weren't.
"These drawings are amazing." Jeff looked up at Thalia across from a drawing table she had in her sewing room. "You have a great talent." Jeff's eyes continued to scan the drawings of his latest outfit.
"Thanks. I should start making by the end of the week." Thalia got up and set a few controls on her sewing machine and then turned back towards Jeff. "I've been drawing since I was little. And ten when I got into high school, that's when it really took off. Drawing and sewing anyway."
Jeff stood up and glanced towards some of the projects that Thalia was working on. "Do you mind if I look?" Not very often did you find a woman that could draw out her designs and then sew them as well.
"No, be my guest."
Jeff was trying to keep his mind busy so he didn't spend all his time looking at Thalia. The sound of a door slamming brought his attention towards the front room.
"MOM!!"
"In the back honey."
Jeff watched as Simon bounded through the door and ran towards his mom. Thalia picked him up and Simon wrapped his little arms around her neck.
"Look what I drawed mommy!"
Thalia put Simon down as the little boy presented a large piece of paper. "Simon that is wonderful." Thalia leaned down and kissed the boy on the cheek.
Jeff smiled as he watched Thalia and Simon's interaction. A little part of it tugged at him. Would he ever know the feelings of a child running to him so happy to show off something he or she accomplished? Someday maybe.
Simon glanced over at Jeff and said in a hushed voice. "Is he another wrestler mom?"
"Yes he is." Simon slowly but surely walked to Jeff, taking small steps on his way.
Jeff smiled at Simon and knelt down to him so he could see him. "Hi there little man. My name is Jeff." Jeff stuck out his hand. "What's yours?"
Simon looked down and Jeff's hand and then up at Jeff again. He placed his small hand in Jeff's large one and Jeff shook it. "My name is Simon."
"Nice to meet you Simon."
Thalia watched as Simon shook Jeff's hand. She put a hand over her mouth and tears brimmed in her eyes.
Simon smiled slightly and then pulled his hand away and walked back over to his mom. "Can I have a snack?"
"Yes honey go ahead." Thalia ruffled Simon's hair as he disappeared into the next room. She held up the picture that Simon had drawn and smiled. "The drawing bug seems to have bitten him too." Thalia turned and pinned the drawing up next to numerous other ones that Simon had drawn.
"He seems to be a great kid." Jeff smiled as he eyed the crayon drawings that lined the tack board behind the sewing machines.
"Thanks. He is."
Jeff looked over at Thalia and noticed that she had become quiet. "Is something wrong?"
"No. Not at all. It's just that Simon doesn't take well to men. He likes you. It's not very often that he will walk up to guys, but he shook your hand."
Jeff felt that there was something more to that story but he didn't feel it was any of his business so he didn't pry. "Hey, um, what do you say we'd do lunch sometime?"
Thalia turned towards Jeff and smiled. "Thanks for your offer. But I don't have anywhere for Simon to go this weekend."
"Bring him along." Jeff was dying to get to know this woman better. But there was something behind those blue eyes that was hurt.
"I don't know Jeff." Thalia paused. "Maybe some other time ok?"
"That's ok. But I'll hold you to that some other time ok?" Jeff smiled. He wasn't hurt at all that Thalia had turned him down. She had her reasons, so he left it at that.
Thalia smiled back at Jeff. "I will."
"I've got an autograph signing to get to so I better get going." Jeff had to brush past Thalia to get through the door. Jeff stopped next to her. "Thank you."
Thalia looked up into the green eyes of Jeff Hardy. "You welcome." She was crazy for wanting him to kiss her. She shoved those thoughts quickly away as Jeff walked out her door again. Her gut told her that she could somehow trust Jeff. But it was her gut that got her into a shitload of trouble in the past.
A/N: That's all I have for now on this story. Damn writers block. I know it's not a flashy highly descriptive story, but it happened to be my idea at the moment. Hopefully I will add chapters in the near future. Thanks for reading. It's much appreciated.
