"You better head out there now and get your seat, we should be starting fairly soon" Jeff told Danielle as they stood together out in the hallway backstage of the arena.
"Ok I'll see you after. Good luck with your match tonight" Danielle replied as she let go of Jeff's hand.
"Thanks" Jeff answered as he walked her over to the door that led out to the arena. Danielle then made her way over to her front row seat where Ethan sat waiting for her.
"It's about time you came out" Ethan said as she sat down.
"What are you talking about? I was only I there for about maybe 15 minutes top after you left" Danielle told him as Ethan gave her a look and grinned. Danielle turned her attention off of him and rolled her eyes. The lights soon dimmed down and the crowd screamed as Raw began. Throughout the whole show Danielle was zoned in her thoughts. She had a great time but she couldn't help but be jealous because she wanted to be in the WWE. After Raw ended Danielle and Ethan made their way over to the side door where there was a huge crowd waiting there to see if any wrestlers would come out. Danielle went up to the security guard and showed her and Ethan's pass. The crowd got mad when they were let in but as soon as they shut the door behind them all the noise was gone. They both went and sat on the floor in the hallway across from the guys locker room waiting on Rob and Jeff.
"Hey guys, awesome show tonight" Ethan replied getting up as the wrestlers began to come out of the locker room, "Hurricane, you and the Rock's promo was too funny"
"Thanks, man" Shane replied as he looked down at Danielle who was just sitting there, "Are you Danielle Channing?"
"Yea" Danielle replied back as he smiled at her.
"I read your book, you're an awesome writer" he told her as Danielle put on a smile and told him thanks.
"Yea she's got a great talent" Jeff commented as he walked up towards them.
Shane nodded and then looked down at his watch, "Well if I'm gonna catch my plane out of here I should be going now, nice meeting you Danielle"
"Nice meeting you too" Danielle answered back as she stood up before Shane left down the hallway.
"Ok you guys ready to get in the car for our 3 and a half hour trip?" Rob asked not looking forward to it since it was midnight already.
"Yea I'm already, the faster we leave the sooner we can get home" Danielle replied as they all got up and headed out to the parking garage. Ethan got in the driver's side as Rob got in the passenger's side and Danielle and Jeff got in the back.
"So where are they taking your storyline?" Danielle asked breaking the silence in the back between her and Jeff.
"I have no clue really, I'm getting sick of having to lose matches but I guess they are trying to get back at me a little for showing up late all those times. I just hope things will be better soon" Jeff sighed as he laid his head back tired. Danielle nodded as they sat there quiet again. Jeff turned his head to look at her and moved his arm to pull her over closer to him.
"Let's take a little nap" he whispered into her ear as he moved his arm around her waist and she laid her head back on his shoulder. Before long they were off to sleep as Ethan looked back in the side mirror. He shook his head seeing how close they were and remembered how Kyle asked him to report every move Jeff made on her. It seemed like forever in the car but they soon arrived at Ethan's house and then Rob took over driving back to Danielle's house..
"Hey you two sleepy heads" Rob replied loudly as Jeff and Danielle slowly woke up, "We're back in Battle Creek" Everybody then got out of the car and headed for inside. As Danielle got closer to the door, she pulled her key out and then looked down seeing a vase of flowers sitting on her doorstep.
"Where did these come from?" Danielle questioned surprised as she picked them up and unlocked the door as they all went inside. Danielle headed to the kitchen and sat down the vase and looked at the note.
Danielle,
I know you probably didn't except this from me, your best friend. The thing is I have always had this thing for you that I was too afraid to admit. We're meant to be together, I have known you my entire life. I want to take it a further step with you and start going out with you. Meet me at the arena with everybody Tuesday and we'll talk then.
Love, Kyle
"Who are the flowers from?" Jeff asked curiously coming into the kitchen as Rob said goodnight and headed up to go to sleep.
"Kyle" Danielle answered still surprised.
"Kyle?" Jeff asked making sure he heard right knowing what he was probably up to now. "Is there something going on between you two?"
"No, but he supposedly has this thing for me now." Danielle explained as Jeff stood there not knowing what to say.
"Hey lets go upstairs to my room and get some sleep. I don't know about you, but I'm beat" Danielle answered trying to get off the subject quick.
"Yea" Jeff nodded as he took her hand and they went up to her room. As Danielle went into her bathroom to change into her pajamas Jeff stripped down to his boxers and got into her bed. Before long Danielle was back out in a pair of neon green boxers and a tank top getting into bed beside him.
"Where were you tonight?" Jeff asked referring to seeing that she was deep in her thoughts during Raw as they laid there looking into each others eyes.
"I don't know really. I was thinking about things. Ethan had told me some things about Kyle and I was thinking about you as well." Danielle confessed except for the wanting to wrestle for the WWE.
'What about me?" Jeff questioned her.
"Well just wondering where things are going" Danielle replied back as Jeff looked at her long in the eyes and then spoke up again.
"How about we go down to my hometown and spend the rest of my time off down there?" Jeff asked her out of the blue.
"Really?" Danielle asked "What about Rob?"
"Well Rob does probably want to see his wife. We can just tell him that he can come with us if he wants or go spend time with his wife" Jeff told her as Danielle thought she was suppose to go to the arena tomorrow.
"Sure I guess we could do that" Danielle replied as Jeff smiled and wrapped her in his arms. He had been glad she said yes because he was missing home but didn't want to leave her yet. Danielle thought about Kyle and what he would think when she didn't show up at the arena.
"Night" Jeff whispered as he noticed Danielle had already fallen asleep. He smiled as he watched her sleep in his arms. Jeff then kissed her on her forehead and drifted off to sleep as well.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Danielle woke up in bed to not feeling the warmth of Jeff next to her. She turned to look around the room to see Jeff was nowhere in sight and then looked at the clock that read 11am. She sighed not wanting to get up but she pulled herself out of bed and headed downstairs.
"Hey look who decided to get up" Rob laughed as Danielle sat down on the couch in the living room.
"I never sleep in this late, it's both your fault" Danielle joked as Jeff and Rob laughed at her.
"Well at least you got up in time to pack and get ready to leave" Rob replied as Danielle looked at him weird still not really fully awake.
"Well you do want to go to Cameron with Jeff don't ya?" Rob questioned her, "I know I really wanna go home and see my wife, I miss her"
"You're not mad at me going to Cameron and not spending more time with you?" Danielle asked feeling guilty.
Rob laughed lightly, "Now why would I be mad at my little Chickity. You know damn well I could never be. It'll be good for ya to go down there. It's a great place" Danielle nodded with a smile as she gave him a hug and then turned to look at Jeff.
"What time are we leaving?"
"Ummm about 1:30" Jeff replied as Danielle's eyes widened.
"It's 11 now what time were you gonna wake me up" Danielle laughed as she stood up.
"I was just about to come up there, no need to worry we have plenty of time. Go start getting ready now while me and Rob relax" Jeff smirked. Danielle shook her head and left the room to go up to her room to shower and get ready with her packing.
It was about 12:30 when Danielle sat her luggage down at the front of the door. "Let us get that" Jeff answered as him and Rob both grabbed a bag and headed out to the car to put her stuff in with theirs. Danielle checked everything in the house and as she was about to shut the door she heard the phone ring. She stood there for a moment tempted to go answer it but then she shut the door and went and got in the car.
"Everybody got everything now?" Rob asked to make sure as he started the car.
"Yes father" Danielle laughed as Rob mocked her and pulled out of the driveway to head for the airport. The whole car ride there they all talked and joked around. When they arrived at the airport Danielle got a little quiet as it was time for her to say goodbye to Rob.
"Hey Chickity, it was so great to see you again, and don't you be thinking that this is the last time. You have my cell phone number you know where to reach me and I know where to reach you. We'll be in touch again very soon." Rob told her as he pulled her into a hug.
"Thanks Rob, for everything. I'm gonna miss you though; meeting up again brought back all the old memories. And I'm glad we are staying in touch, it means a lot to me" Danielle replied as they finally broke from their hug.
"Bye" Rob replied giving Danielle a quick wink and a hand shake to Jeff. "You hurt her and I'll break your leg, but I know you won't so you have nothing to worry about"
Jeff laughed as he patted Rob on that back, "Later man, have a nice trip" Rob then turned and left his separate way to his plane as Danielle and Jeff turned and headed to their gate as well.
"I can't wait to get home" Jeff commented as he took her hand in his as they stood in line to get on the plane. Danielle looked up into his green eyes and smiled and squeezed his hand as they turned their attention back to the line that was finally moving onto the plane.
"Ok I'll see you after. Good luck with your match tonight" Danielle replied as she let go of Jeff's hand.
"Thanks" Jeff answered as he walked her over to the door that led out to the arena. Danielle then made her way over to her front row seat where Ethan sat waiting for her.
