chapter 10:

iris stared at jeff in shocked & disbelief, he stood at her front door in a black shirt & jeans with his hair pulled back.

"can i come in?" he finally asked

"yeah i guess..." she moved aside & let him in

"these are for you..." he handed her the dozen dark red roses

"thank you..." she said smelling them, all of a sudden her mom called her

"excuse me, ill be right back.." she said leaving jeff in the den

"who was at the door? you ok you look pale.."

"it's jeff, the package was a dvd that orton, edge & trish taped & it explained everything, it wasnt his fault, he was drugged."

"dern baby your life is more eventful then the soap opera's."

"yeah but ill be in my room talkin with him for a bit..."
"ok baby hollar if you need me..."

"ok momma." iris walked out of her mom's room & into the den where jeff was.

"we can go talk in my room..." she mumbled walking past him leading him to her room, he sat down in her lime green mushroom chair & she sat on her bed. they sat in complete silence for a few seconds till jeff broke the silence.

"i guess you know why im here..."

"yeah i sorta figured that out..."

"im sorry..."

"why are you sorry, you didnt do nothin & now i see that..."

"i know but im sorry for the pain it caused you..."

"im sorry for the pain it caused you too.." she said bowing her head letting her long hair make a curtain around her face, jeff tucked her hair behind her ears & lifted her face with a finger.

"i love you iris, with all my heart, i would never do anything to hurt you, im sorry..."

"i love you too jeff, with all my heart, im sorry too, i wouldnt do anything to hurt you either..."

they both smiled, looking into each others eyes, both with tears in them, not tears of sorrow but tears of joy. Jeff cupped her face & leaned in & kissed her, both of them feeling that old spark they once yearned for, it wasnt a passionate make-out kiss but yet a soft, sensual, loving kiss. They pulled back after awhile & jeff asked...

"so what does this mean? for us i mean, can we go back to the way we were?"

"yes i'd love that.."

"yes!!" jeff picked her up off the bed & spun her around

"im glad to have you back in my life, in my arms even, i missed you so much, dont leave me again..." jeff whispered in her hair.

"i missed you too baby, i wont leave you again as long as you dont leave me..." she smiled at him

"i wont i promise..." he placed a soft kiss on her lips

"so will you move back in with me & come back on the road with me?"

"yes, but i gotta quit my job & pack my stuff up, unpack & all that so it will be awhile..."

"maybe a month?"

"yeah.."

"ok cause i got to go over to europe & tour there for a month & then ill have a few days off.."

"ok sounds good babe, get me a postcard, ive always wanted to go to europe..."

"you know i will babe..." he kissed her

-1 month later-

Iris had quit her job as a nurse & babysitter & packed up once again & moved to north carolina to be with the love of her life, jeff hardy. Her mom fully understood & forgave jeff herself & gave iris her blessing to move back to north carolina. Matt & Shannon were especially happy to see their work paid off, it didnt take iris too awful long to pack up her stuff, she didnt have much, jeff's dad helped her settle in to jeff's house once again, jeff left her, her own set of keys to his bikes, 4wheelers, vehicles & house. She was finally settled in once again, she talked to jeff every night, on those especially lonely & cold nights they'd satisfied each others lust for one another with occasional phone sex.

Iris laid in her & jeff's bed, she couldn't sleep she was too excited the next morning she was going to pick jeff up from the airport, she looked at the clock it was 5:30am, she was due to pick jeff up at 7am, she got up & got a shower, she put on her black jeff hardy tank top & blue jeans, she pulled a hat on & her sunglasses & flip flops & walked out the door, she got in jeff's corvette & drove down the road, she stopped at mcdonalds & bought jeff & her some breakfast & drove to the airport, she walked in & sat in waiting for jeff's plane to arrive.

Jeff sat on the plane getting antsy, he hadn't seen Iris in a month, even though he carried pictures with him, he couldnt hug a picture, have a conversation with a picture, the stuff he could do with iris. As soon as he was able to get off the plane he did, he grabbed his duffal bag from the over head compartment & barreled out of the plane, he quickly got his bags from luggage & went looking for Iris.

they saw each other at the same time & ran towards each other, iris jumped in his arms & he caught her & kissed her passionately when they pulled back jeff whispered "i missed you so much..." into her ear & she whispered it back. He put her down & they walked out to his car together, he put his bags in the trunk & got in the passenger side & iris got in the drivers side.

"awww baby you got me breakfast?" he said looking in the mcdonalds bag

"yeah i know air plane food isn't all that great so you might be hungry..." she said pulling out of the parking lot

"thanks babe.." he said kissing her neck

"you're welcome, now stop before you cause me to wreck your car..."

"ok i'll be good...at least until i get you home..."

"oooo should i be scared?" she said laughing

"maybe..be afraid, be very afraid..." he said threw a mouth full of food

jeff fell asleep holding iris's hand in the car, he was still sleeping when they got home so she leaned over & kissed his neck up to his ear & whispered

"wake up sleepy head, we're home..."

"ok im up..." he said yawning getting out of the car, grabbing his bags out of the trunk while iris unlocked the door & was greeted by jeff's many dogs, they jumped & scratched at jeff's pants excited to see him home, jeff plopped on the couch, while iris checked the messages on the phone, jeff watched her intently he loved the jeans she wore they fit her curves perfectly & the tank top showed just enough cleavage, he licked his lips, he needed her bad, he jumped up from the couch, grabbing her throwing her over his shoulder causing her to yelp.

"babe!" she laughed looking down at the dogs

"yes?"

"put me down..." she said smacking his butt

"not till we get to our bedroom." he said devilishly

they got to their room & jeff kicked all the dogs out & he shut the door & threw iris on the bed

"the room is spinning..." she said laughing from being upside down

"its gonna keep spinnin too, till im done with you baby..." he said leaning down kissing the op of her breasts

"mmmm i like the sound of that..." she said running her fingers threw his hair

he tugged his shirt off & tossed it to the floor, he pushed her top up kissing behind it & he lifted her up to a kneeling potion on the bed & pulled it off & threw it on the floor with his, he pushed the straps of her bra down kissing the spot where they were & unhooked it & tossed it to the floor, he pulled her to him her breast against his chest & crotch rubbing against his bulge in his jeans, she moaned & kissed him as he laid her back down, she undid his jeans & pushed them & his boxers down & he kicked them off the rest of the way. He layed between her legs & kissed just below her belly button, he tugged the button & zipper open & pulled her jeans & panties down with one tug & tossed them on the floor with the rest of the disguarded clothes. he ran his hands up her smooth legs, kissing them as his hands reached her hips, he looked up at her & saw her smiling at him gently & playing with his hair, he let his tongue explore her moist womanhood he moan lightly feeling his thirst to taste her intimately was begining to be quenched, she moaned as his tongue danced & lapped inside of her like a flickering flame she involuntarily tugged his hair in passion, he smiled against her & continued his assualt with his tongue. Soon he knew she was going to loose it, so he stopped abruptly & slid back up so he was face to face with iris, she kissed him tasting herself on his tongue & lips which only made her want him more. She moaned as he slid into her tightness, he wrapped one of her legs around his waist as he pumped in & out of her slowly both of them moaning lightly, grasping for exposed skin with fingers & lips, they became sweaty in their passion buut neither cared. Jeff lifted Iris up, kneeling he pulled her up holding her close to him while she moved up & down on him slowly. Jeff never did anything quick & meaningless he did everything slowly & full of passion especially make love to iris. soon their was no more stalling from going over that huge hill to the land of extacy, they both let go & came together. He held onto her & burried his face in her hair while she burried her face in his neck kissing it softly. He laid her down & wrapped the sheets around her body & held her close to him as they fell asleep.

Iris woke up to a empty bed, she got up & put one of jeffs basketball jerseys on, which were tight on him but baggy on her she walked out & found jeff writing in his notebook & watching tv, he looked so sexy in nothin but jeans & his hair pulled back. He felt like he was being watched & looked over to see Iris standing there, he put his guitar down & walked to her grabbing her butt, pulling her to him & kissing her. They pulled back & sat down on the couch...

"whatcha watchin?" iris asked curling up in jeff's arms

"some cracky movie on HBO i dont know what it's called..."

"only you would watch something & dont know what it is..."

"thank ya..."

Iris got up & grabbed a few grapes & sat back on the couch...

"i want one too..." jeff said with his puppy dog look, iris laughed

"ok here, open your mouth..." she put one to jeff's lips & at the last minute put it in her's & laughed at his expression

"wrong, so wrong..."

"ok, ok here..." she put one between her lips & kissed him, pushing it into his mouth with her tongue, she pulled back & watched him eat it...

"mmmm best grape ive ever had..."

"thank ya, well im hungry, i want some chinese food..."

"ok but frist i wanna show you what i got you..."

"ooo yay, i like gifts!"

jeff got up & got a plastic bag out of his backpack & iris looked at what he was writing in his notebook, it was a beautiful poem. he pulled out a rectangle box first...

"close your eyes..."

"babe!"

"just amuse me..."

"ok..." iris close her eyes & jeff opened the box

"ok open" iris opened her eyes to see a beautiful gold charm bracelet with charms from where he was like a eiffle tower for france & leaning tower of peeza for italy.

"oh my god baby its beautiful thank you.." he put it on her wrist, then he pulled out a small square box, he got down on one knee & iris started crying

"iris, i love you with everything i am, you are my life, my love my soul, will you marry me?" he asked opening the pox revealing a 1ct diamond marquese cut solitare ring
"yes, yes jeff i will marry you..." jeff let out the breath he was holding in & slid the ring on her finger & kissed her

"like em?"

"i love em babe thank you..."

"you're very welcome..." he kissed her forehead

"now can we get some chinese?" iris asked laughing

"yes baby, you call & get the usual, im gonna get a shower..."

"without me?" she acted shocked

"you can come baby.."

"no ill just get you dirty later..."

"sounds like a plan..."

iris ordered the food & started watching the crow on dvd, she heard jeff just get out of the shower, when the food came she got a 20 out of her bag & answered the door, to see a highschool kid standing there with the food, he saw her & licked his lips which made iris cringe.

"that will be 17 dollars.." iris handed him the 20

"keep the change..."

"hey you're that wwe diva, iris miloni..."

"former wwe diva but yeah..."

"can i have your autograph?"

"sure..."

she signed the back of the receipt for the guy

"oh you forgot your digits..."

"excuse me?"

"you doing anything later?" iris was about to respond when jeff came up behind her & said

"yeah she is doing something later...me..." & shut the door in the guys face

"baby!" iris laughed

"hey you're my wife to be cant be lettin creeps drool over ya like that..."

they laughed & ate supper & made love the rest of the night...
