Chapter 4: I'm Just Not Ready
Me and Jeff got up from the couch and leave as quickly as possible before Vince said anything else. On our way back to the Hardy's locker room Jeff and I were silent. And then something happened that I couldn't believe. Jeff wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I was shocked at first but then it passed and I leaned into him. When we walked into the locker room Matt got up and ran over to us.
"Are you guys….whoa" He stops as he looks at Jeff's arm around me and me leaning into him. "What's going on here?" He asks a little shocked but also seems very excited.
"Well, nothing really, it's just Randy got suspended and we're just so happy cause he'll be away from Danielle for a whole 30 days" Jeff says and kisses my forehead.
"It looks like something" Matt raises his eyebrow and looks at me and smirks. I look away blushing and unwrap Jeff's arm around me and go over to Matt and punch his arm and go over to the couch and sit down.
"Ow," Matt says grabbing his arm where I punched him. "Man, I forgot how hard you punch" I laugh and so does Jeff and he comes over and sits down next to me.
"Matt, you're such a baby" Jeff says laughing at the older Hardy.
"Whatever, I'm gonna go find Ashley" And with that he walks out the door. A long silence falls between me and Jeff.
"So, um, you have a son?" Jeff asks breaking the uncomfortable silence.
"Uh, yeah I do"
"Nice, Kyle right?"
"Yeah"
"How old is he?" Jeff asks trying to keep the conversation going.
"He's 4"
"Really?" He asks sounding a bit hurt.
"Yeah"
"Cool, um, who's the father?"
I take a deep breath tempting whether I tell him he's the father or not "Jeff, Kyle is your kid"
"What?" He sounds a bit shocked but mostly excited.
"You're Kyle's father"
"Really?"
I nod "Would you like to meet him?"
"Hell yeah! When?"
"After the show, would be good. He won't be going to sleep anytime soon" I laugh at the comment and so does Jeff.
"He excited about his momma being a wwe diva again?"
"Yeah, he is very excited, in fact he wanted me to get his favorite superstar's autograph"
"John Cena's?"
"Nope" I get up from the couch and head over to the door "His dad's"
"His dad works he… wait that's me" He says with the biggest grin on his face.
I laugh which makes him laugh too. He walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist.
"Jeff what are you doing?" I say getting a little uncomfortable.
"Danielle I've missed you so much" He pushes me onto the door and puts all his body weight onto me. "I've missed your laugh, the way you used to look at me, the way you kissed me, everything"
"Jeff, we shouldn't…" I get cut off by his lips attaching to mine. I hear the lock on the door click. I push Jeff away from me.
"Jeff stop!"
"Why Danielle? Didn't you miss me too?"
"Yes I did but Jeff, I still hurt" Tears start rolling down my face.
"I know Danielle and I'm sorry. Please stop crying" He wipes away my tears. I lean into the door.
"Jeff I'm sorry but I can't do this"
"Why not Danielle?"
"I just can't"
"Don't you think it would be better for Kyle to have a father in his life?"
"Don't bring him into this"
"Why not? Isn't it because of him that you don't want to get back together?"
"No Jeff, this has nothing to do with him!" I yell getting angrier the more I stand here.
"Then what does this have to do with?"
"JEFF I'M JUST NOT READY!" I yell. I unlock the door and walk out of the room leaving a shocked looking Jeff standing in the doorway watching me walk away.
