A week had done and everything was normal… well as normal as it could get being a WWE Diva. Maria was still thinking about her kiss with Jeff on-screen even if it had been a week ago. Things between her and Jeff were the same, they were great friends. Although Maria was constantly thinking about the kiss and about how it made her feel and if Jeff had felt something at all. Little did she know Jeff was constantly thinking the same thing, he knew it was wrong to be thinking about another woman that was not his girlfriend but he couldn't help it…
Today was a very important day because Jeff would be fighting Edge two days before the match against HHH for the WWE Championship.
"Ria come on or we wont make it to the arena on time." Jeff said.
"I'm coming…" Maria said walking out of the bathroom.
"Come on" Jeff said getting his sweater and handing Maria hers before walking out the door. They quickly left and made it to the arena in fifteen minutes. They got out holding hands as some of the fans were there. They stopped here and there to sing some autographs and to take some pictures. They finally made it inside.
"Bye see you later." they both said before Maria left to the Divas locker room and Jeff to his locker room.
"Hey girlies." Maria said entering the room were Eve, Michelle, and Victoria were talking.
"Hey Ria."
'Hello Ria."
"Hey."
They all stood up and hugged her before they all sat down to gossip some more. Maria listened to them for while before she left to Jeff Hardy Land (A/N LoL that my land)
"Hey Ria are you still there or in la la land." Eve said waving her hand in front of Maria's face.
"Huh…" Maria said shaking her head trying to get the thoughts of Jeff Hardy.
"Ria what were you day dreaming about." Michelle asked.
"Jeff…" Maria whispered.
"Chica snap out of it" Eve said.
"I'm trying, but he's such a good kisser." Maria said. Despite the conditions that got all the Divas giggling.
"What are ya'll giggling about." Stephanie said entering the room.
"Maria was telling us how Jeff was a good kisser." Victoria said.
"Oh so Ria sweetheart have you been thinking about this all week." Stephanie said sitting down next to her.
"Yea I have… What the hell I'm not supposed to be thinking about this." Maria said
"You are thinking what anyone would think after kissing their crush." Michelle said.
"Okay well enough of me what's up with you and Matt, Eve?" Maria said trying to get the attention off her.
"Oh Matt is so sweet and such a gentleman." Eve said with a sight and giggle. " We went on a date and it was so romantic." Eve giggled.
"Awww." All the girls said. Finally it was time for Smackdown to start. The girls stayed in the locker room the whole time gossiping and watching the matches. Thirty minutes before the Main Event (Jeff vs. Edge) Maria was about to get ready.
"Hey girls what to help me look for something to wear." Maria said. She received a Sure from all of her friends. Eve connected the curly iron while Maria, Stephanie, Michelle, and Victoria started looking for an outfit. Finally Maria decided on some Purple skinny jeans, a short back shirt that showed her flat toned stomach, her fingerless gloves, and finally some black wrestling boots incase she had to help Jeff during the match.
"Bye and watch your back." Eve said all the other Divas agreeing with her. Maria nodded her head before heading to gorilla position were she said she would meet Jeff.
"Hey." Jeff said holding his hand for her to take before going out there "Ready to go out there for the first time as a couple."
Maria took his hand. " Sure lets do this babe." Maria said in a joking manner.
"Don't u see the writing on the wall (writing on the wall) Your in way over your head, Your gonna drown in the things that you've said. Time has come and gone for words. A thousand threats I've heard before Your words are cheap but lies are faint to me Time has come and gone for words. A thousand threats I've heard before And tore your words like u did to me."
Maria and Jeff come out from behind the back holding hands. Maria lets go of Jeff hand and he does his famous dance while she does her round of kisses that end up with Jeff who has stopped dancing. Jeff smiles at her before taking her hand as they both walk down the ramp slapping hands with some of the fans. Jeff jumps on the ring (outside the ropes) while Maria goes up the steps, Jeff sits on the second rope holding the third rope up so Maria can get it. When they get in the ring they each get on the turn buckles, Maria does her 'Rock on' sings while Jeff does his Guns. Jeff and Maria go to Jeff's corner of the ring to wait on Edge to come out.
"You think you know me!
On this day I see clearly everything has come to life.
In a place, in a broken dream.
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind.
I'll never long for what might have been. Regret won't waste my life again. I won't look back. I'll fight to remain:
On this day I see clearly everything has come to life. In a place, in a broken dream. And we'll leave it all behind.
On this day its so real to me. Everything has come to life. Another chance to chase a dream. Another chance to feel. Chance to feel alive."
Edge came in normal Edge fashion sliding into the ring. He did his sings on the ring while the fans all booed at him.
DING DING the match started
Jeff and Edge locked in the middle, Edge getting the upper hand. They threw some punches at each other for some time before Jeff got Edge down with a unexpected twist of fate. Jeff went on top of the turnbuckle getting in position for the Swanton wanting to end the match early. When Jeff went flying in the air Edge moved out of the way so Jeff landed with a loud thud. Maria was at ring side slapping the ring mat with her hand trying to get the crowd going.
HARDY! HARDY! HARDY!
Finally Jeff slowly got up; Edge was in the corner already in position to deliver a spear. Jeff saw it coming and got out of the way. They meat in the middle throwing punches at each other. Edge got the upper hand and beat Jeff for some while. Edge being the cocky dude that he is slid off the ring to stalk after Maria.
Maria started to back away in fear. She saw Jeff slowly getting up and taking a look at Edge before baseball sliding onto Edge. Maria backed away before Edge fell on her from the impact, in her hurry to get out of the way she fell and landed on her ass. Jeff got out of the ring and helped before graving Edge and throwing him in the ring. He dragged Edge into a corner and kicked him in the face. Jeff waited till Edge got up before giving him the second Twist of Fate of the night. Jeff got up on the turnbuckle and landed a Swanton perfectly.

"And your winner in Jeff Hardy."
"Don't u see the writing on the wall (writing on the wall) Your in way over your head, Your gonna drown in the things that you've said. Time has come and gone for words. A thousand threats I've heard before Your words are cheap but lies are faint to me Time has come and gone for words. A thousand threats I've heard before And tore your words like u did to me."
The ref lifted up Jeff's arm as Maria got in the ring. Maria took the refs place holding Jeff's arm up. Jeff pulled her into a hug and then pulled her into the second kiss they had ever shared. Maria wrapped her arms around his neck and Jeff wrapped his around her slim waist deepening the kiss. Maria could see fireworks behind her close eyelids not even hearing all the fans cheering them on. Jeff was feeling the same only succeeding to confuse him more about the beautiful red head in his arms. Finally Maria pulled away. The last thing you could see was the dazzled looks on their faces before going off air.
"Hey Ria tell the girls that we are going out to a club tonight." Jeff said when they reached backstage.
"Sure see you in a little while." Maria said walking away.
Jeff watched the red head walk away from him ,caught up on his own thoughts…
Jeff felt his phone vibrating; he left it with the people in gorilla position before every match.
"Hey." Jeff answered his cell without checking to see who it was.
"Hey babe." Beth said on the other line.
"Oh hey Beth."
"What up Jeff you sound distracted."
"Nothing don't worry about it."
"So I saw the show tonight."
"Oh yea was it good?"
"Yea but I don't know if I'm liking this storyline with this Maria chick."
"Ummm." Jeff said not really paying attention to what she was say.
"Jeff are you even paying attention to me."
"Sure."
"Your not damn it Jeff you never pay attention to me… I beat you always pay attention to Maria." Beth said her voice full of jealousy.
"Beth what are talking about I always pay attention to you." Jeff said walking towards his locker room.
"No you don't… whatever Jeff I don't even care anymore."
"Damn Beth don't turn this on me, all we ever do when you call or I call you is fight… do you want me to call you all the time and fight all the time." Jeff said "And don't bring Maria into this like you always do."
"Well what do you expect me to do when all you seem to be thinking is about her" Beth said. "Whatever Jeff I don't even want to talk to you anymore."
"No your not going to hang up on me like you always do." Jeff said getting angrier by the second.
"I don't care Jeff just go back to your Maria."
"Baby don't be like that you know I only love you." Jeff said not even believing himself.
"No I don't think you do Jeff…" Beth said crying on the other line " Jeff its hard for me to say this bb-bu-u-t were oo-ver." stuttering on the last part and letting out a sob.
"Beth no, you cant do this baby." Jeff said on the verge of crying himself.
"Sorry Jeff." Beth whispered before hanging up.
Jeff had by now gotten to his locker room, but was standing outside not going in. Jeff leaned against the wall shredding a few tears and trying to stay calm with Beth's words running through his head. He stood there thinking about Beth breaking up with him and deciding that what better way to forget his problems that dinking them away. Finally he entered the locker room not telling anyone about Beth.
Meanwhile
Maria walked away from Jeff still in daze from their kiss. She walked to the locker room at a fast pace to tell Michelle, Eve, Victoria, and Stephanie.
"Hey girls were going clubbing tonight." Maria said in her bubbly voice as she walked in the room. You could hear four 'YAYs' coming from the girls. All the girls quickly got their duffle bags and walked to the parking lot were all the guys were waiting for them.
Maria and Jeff got into the car as did the others.
"Hey Jeff you look distracted, are you okay."
"Yea Ria I'm fine." Jeff said. They drove in silence the whole time with out any music. Finally they made it to the hotel and got out of the car in silence.
"You can go get ready first Ria." Jeff said sitting on the couch.
"Okay thanks Jeff." Maria said before walking into the restroom.
Jeff watched her walk in and sat there thinking that maybe Beth was right and he loved someone else.
"So Jeff how do I look." Maria said snapping him out of his thoughts. Maria was standing in front of him in a red minie dress and some black flats making her look more petite then she really was.
"Wow." Jeff said looking at her as if for the first time. "You look wow Maria."
Maria giggled " Come on Hardy boy go get ready."
Jeff nodded before walking into the bathroom. Meanwhile Maria curled her hair before pulling it into a side ways only tail and doing her makeup as natural as possible with the exception of red lipstick. Fifteen minutes later Jeff came out of the bathroom dressed all in black.
"Ready to go Ms. Kanellis." Jeff asked extending his arm for her to take.
"Sure are Mr. Hardy." Maria said looping her arm around his and walking out the room.
They meet their friends out in the parking lot to decided who would be the designated driver. Finally Stephanie called one of the many Family limos to take and bring them back. They quickly made it to the club.
Jeff made a bee line to the bar leaving everyone behind. He quickly started drinking himself silly all the while keeping an eye on his friends especially Maria who were all on the dance floor. Jeff felt jealousy shoot through him as a guy asked Maria to dance and she happily accepted. Later on Jeff found himself cutting in on Maria and dude dancing just as a slow song started.
"Hey." Jeff whispered/ slurred at Maria.
"Jeff are you drunk." Maria said asking the obvious.
"No"
"Yes you are come on lets leave." Maria said pulling Jeff away from the dance floor and to the table they were sitting at.
"Hey guys were leaving see ya'll later." Maria said receiving nods from all of them. Maria and Jeff walked outside and got in the limo.
"To the hotel please." Maria said to the driver. The drove all the way in silence. "Thank you, you can go back to the club they will be needing you later. "
Maria and Jeff got out of the limo and into the hotel quickly making their way to their room. Maria closed the door to their room and turned around only to see herself looking into Jeff's eyes who was standing really close to her. They locked eyes for what seamed forever before Jeff lowered his lips to meet hers.
To say that Maria was shocked was would be true, but that does not mean she did not enjoy it. Maria felt Jeff's tongue slowly parting her lips to depend the kiss. Even though this was not their first kiss this one was different as when they were on live TV. Maria felt Jeff's strong arms wrap around her waist and pulling her feet of the floor all the while their kiss getting more intense. Maria's legs automatically wrapped around Jeff's waist and her arms around his neck.
Jeff pulled away from their kiss (no longer drunk), but only for a moment. Jeff attached his lips to hers again giving Maria only time to breath. Jeff started walking backwards onto their bed before sitting on the edge of it with Maria on his lap. He pulled his lips away from hers as they traveled down her jaw and onto her neck.
"Jeff."
"Ummm"
"Come on Jeff we have to stop… your with Beth."
"No I'm not." Jeff said kissing his way up to her lips again.
"What do mean your not?" Maria asked graving his head between her hands to stop him from kissing her.
"I mean we broke up."
"When was this."
"Today."
"Sorry Jeff I cant do this I cant be the rebound girl." Maria said getting up from his lap and looking away to hide the hot tears that were building up in her eyes.
"Your not Ria, I like you… I might even love you." Jeff said him too with tears in his eyes.
"Sorry Jeff, I like you too but I just cant do this right now, not after you just broke up with Beth." Maria said tears spilling out of her eyes as she turned her back on Jeff and started walking towards the door.
Jeff walked after her just graving her hand before she had the chance to open the door and leave. "I love you not Beth, Ria." Jeff pulled lightly on her arm making her look at him.
"Prove it Jeff, Prove it." Maria said getting on her tipy toes to give him a light kiss on the cheek, but he turn his face and she got his lips instead but only for a moment. Maria let go off his hand not even looking back at him before walking out the door.
