Jeff Hardy hadn't been amused when he'd been rudely awoken from his late afternoon nap by a loud and persistent knocking on his hotel room door. He rubbed his eyes, got out of bed and headed towards the door, ready to give whoever was standing on the other side a piece of his mind. He yanked open the door, "What the hell do you … Maria?"
"Hey Jeff," Maria replied brightly, "I didn't wake you up did I?"
He was just about to lie to his best friend and say that no she hadn't but he decided to go with the truth. After all, she could probably tell just by his appearance that she'd woken up. "Yeah, but it doesn't matter." He folded his arms over his chest, "What are you doing here anyways? I thought you were in Hawaii with the rest of the divas doing that photo shoot."
The redhead gave him a small smile, "We actually finished up early which has got to be a first." She bit down on her bottom lip.
Jeff studied her expression carefully; she looked like she had something important to tell him but wasn't sure that she wanted to, "Something wrong?"
The pretty diva shook her head, "No, nothing's wrong, whatever gave you that idea?"
The multi-colored haired superstar scratched the back of his head and then shrugged, "Just a vibe I'm getting. Do you want to come in?"
Maria looked up and down the hallway before she nodded, "Yeah, I have something for you." She motioned to the brown paper back she held in her left hand.
Jeff raised both brows in amusement, "For me? What is it?" He side stepped to allow her access to his room.
"Just a little something-something I picked up in Hawaii," Maria replied as she entered.
Jeff closed the door and followed her towards the bed. He waited for her to be seated before he sat down right besides her," So what is it?"
The Smackdown diva held out the bag for him, "Why do you open it and find out?"
"Cool, but you really didn't have to get me anything."
Maria smiled, "But I wanted to, and besides, I thought of you immediately when I saw it. I hope it fits you … It should."
"A ha, so I can wear it …. My awesome powers of deduction have concluded that it must be an item on clothing."
The redhead laughed, "Wow Jeff, there's really no flies on you, are there?"
"No man, I am the bomb."
Maria rolled her eyes playfully, "Are you going to open it or not?"
"I'm going to open it," Jeff replied and reached into the bag. He pulled out the contents immediately and unfolded it quickly. He looked up from the bright pink and white Hawaiian shirt in front of him, "Thanks, Ria. I love it." Without really thinking about it, Jeff leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.
"I hoped you would," Maria admitted.
"I do. In fact I'm gonna put it on right now." He pulled the plain black tee shirt he was wearing up over his head and tossed it aside in a ball. Just as he was about to put on the shirt Maria had given him, he had a thought, "I'm just gonna get another shirt to wear underneath it."
"…"
Jeff looked up when Maria didn't answer him and found the redhead starring at his chest, "Earth to Maria?"
Maria snapped out of her trance, "Sorry what?"
Jeff smiled, "Where did you go?"
The Smackdown diva blushed, "Nowhere, I was just thinking about your chest … I mean a game of chess. Yes, chess. Me and Mickie are thinking about taking the game up."
The green eyed man laughed, "What?"
"Um … I should go." She got up from the bed quickly, "I'm really glad you liked the shirt and sorry for waking you. I'll see you later at the arena. Bye."
Jeff could only watch as she rushed out of his hotel room, leaving the multi-colored haired man to wonder what the hell had happened.
