Chapter 1
The sun was shining bright when Matt and I walked out of the WWF plane. It was our first time in Mr. McMahon's private jet, cause we usually either just drove to the arena or took a regular flight. But this wasn't just a Raw or Smackdown. We had actually been invited to the McMahon estate for a week of "tag team retraining" as Shane called it. We didn't really know what we were there for but it was written in the script that we would be out this week for injuries so here we were. Amy had an autograph signing at WWF New York so she was going to meet us in Stamford later on that night. I pulled my leather jacket tighter around me as the cold Connecticut weather greeted us. We looked out and saw Stephanie and Shane talking to each other in front of a limo, and we quickly walked over to them.
"Hey Steph. Sup Shane," I said as I approached them, after throwing my bag over my brother's shoulder.
"Hey, you jerk come back here and take your dumb bag" Matt said, scowling at me as he tried to juggle his duffel bag and mine. Stephanie laughed when Matt finally got to us and swung the bags at me, totally missing and falling on his butt.
"Alright guys, come on. Almost everyone has already arrived at the estate." Shane said, helping Matt up. As soon as he was up, Matt smacked me over the back of my head eliciting another laugh from Steph and a groan from Shane.
"Come on guys, seriously" he said again and this time we did, going into the fully loaded limo.
It was dark inside that limo and I took my sunglasses off as my eyes started to adjust to the light. Then I caught a glance of her. Legs that were about a mile long, covered halfway with this black knee- length skirt. My eyes started from those tanned, toned legs all the way up to a light blue shirt, passing shoulders covered with the most gorgeous, curly hair I had ever seen in my life. And then I finally looked at her face and whoa, let me just say that she was hot. She had these almond shaped, dark brown eyes, pouty pink lips and the cutest little nose. She smiled at me as she moved in to accommodate Stephanie and Shane. I just sat there staring until Matt finally just jumped in and pushed me over, knocking me over to her and I "accidentally" grabbed her left thigh.
"Whoops, sorry," I said, and I actually blushed. Matt laughed at me and pushed me over again, this time closer to the door.
"Hey...I know you," Matt said.
"I highly doubt it Matt," Stephanie said. "This is my new intern Corinne. She'll be my PA for a few months. The girl extended her right hand and Matt took it, shaking it vigorously. I had been staring at her face dumbfounded since I had gotten in the car and I saw her wince, at my brothers' hard grip. This protective urge got to me and I knocked my brother over.
"Dude, you're hurting her!" I yelled and I grabbed her hand and shook it gently, up and down, up and down, staring at her face the whole time and smiling.
"Oh, no he really..." Corinne started to say then looked at her hand, which was still in Jeff's hand.
"Oh, sorry Corinne, I didn't mean to..." Matt started to say, then stared at Jeff.
Shane, who had been watching the whole exchange, reached over and separated Jeff from Corinne. She looked down, embarrassed and I was so embarrassed that I could only mumble an I'm sorry. The car was pretty tense after that little occurrence, with only Stephanie and Shane providing color commentary on some of the areas that we passed by, and noticing that no one was paying attention, even they stopped talking and the car was completely silent for about 15 minutes. I was relieved when the car finally stopped. Thank God, I had never felt like such a complete loser before.
"Right, umm, let's go Corinne, we gotta set up," Stephanie exclaimed and they both got out of the car.
As they got out, I looked at Corinne again and let's just say that the back view is just as good as the front. Matt, who had been looking at me, hit me over the back of my head again. "Idiot," he said, shaking his head at me.
I was finally out of my trance and I looked over at Shane and Matt who were shaking their heads at me like I was the shame of mankind. "What?" I said, what?
As I opened the door to follow, Shane suddenly said, "Hang on boys, we need to have a little heart to heart for a minute."
Uh oh, here we go, I thought. She was probably a long lost sister or something they hadn't told us about and now I was gonna get fired.
"Umm, what," I asked uncomfortably.
"Let's just get some things straight. This week will be a lot of work. The tag teams have been getting a little dull lately, from lack of new moves to just plain boring story lines. If we have another TLC match, I think people are gonna start throwing tomatoes at you guys." Shane said stone facedly.
"Now I know, you guys always give it your all, every time you're out there, but it's just not cutting it anymore. That's why this week was scheduled. We need to figure out chemistry and moves and all. By the way, Shane Helms and Shannon Moore are here too, just in case you didn't know. We're pulling all the stops here. The tag teams are getting boring and we can't have that. Now, listen, especially you Jeff, cause I could see you ogling Corinne there. First of all, she's only 21, she's just a baby, right out of good o'l catholic school Notre Dame and this is her first job. My father loves her like a daughter already, and my mom has already taken her shopping, which means she's pretty much family right there. She's like Stephanie's long-lost sister and my wife loves her cause my kids love her. And I love her, cause she's a damn good baby-sitter and she gets Stephanie and my wife off my back. So, keep your hands to yourself."
"Whoa, Shane relax, I wasn't going to attack her, damn," I said.
"Yeah Shane." Matt said, giving me a look of warning. "I'll keep him in line."
"Good," Shane said.
"And by the way," he said, looking at Matt squarely in the eye, "Amy, Stephanie and Corinne are the only women here. Amy cause she's pretty much a part of your tag team and because when Stephanie takes that little "break from wrestling" she's always thinking of having, Corinne might hook up with Amy and be her PA for a while. This is her winter break, so she's out of school for a month, but by the summer after she graduates, she'll probably be traveling with Amy and you guys cause my dad wants her to know ALL the aspects of this. But don't worry, she's a marketing major, she won't be traveling that long, but for now, my dad isn't sure if he wants her just holed up in Stamford. He sees a lot of potential in her, and so do I. So who knows what'll happen down the road."
"Okay", I said, still shaking my head.
"There will be no alcohol, no smoking, and NO SEX. You guys are gonna live, breathe, and BE wrestling for this whole week" Shane said.
"What?" Matt said, "What do you mean no sex, how're you gonna stop us if we want to? And what about if we just sleep next to each other, there's no harm in that."
"Yeah right. Sorry, there will be no 'sleeping next to each other either'. Amy will be staying at a separate cabin with the rest of the women, Matt and she'll know when she gets here that if you guys are caught, she'll have to leave. That means not seeing you for the rest of the week. Now what do you think? No sex, or no visual contact at all, not even a phone call, " Shane said looking at us.
Matt looked down and grumbled under his breath. I personally felt bad for the guy, I mean since Amy and him had FINALLY admitted that they loved each other, they had never slept apart.
"Well, unless you guys have any questions, let's go get lunch." I let Shane get out first, and held Matt back when he tried to take a grab at him.
"Hey, relax Matt, it's okay, imagine next Saturday, I mean you know what they say about holding out, it'll only make it better." Matt glared at me then pushed me aside to get out of the car. "What?" I said, "I'm just trying to help."
