Chapter ten: story line
Jessica looked around the corner before closing the door to the Hardy's locker room. She looked at Jeff who was currently napping with the kids. His match was not till the end of the show, a needed sleep was in order.
The red head shook Jeff gently, not disturbing the twins. Jeff opened his eyes, seeing the expression on his wife's face worried him. He got up from the couch, silently as possible. Jessica brought him into the bathroom, closing the door softly.
"What's wrong baby?" Jeff asked kissing her forehead.
"It's Randy," she blurted out, taking a seat on the toilet.
Jeff bended down on his knees. "What the hell did he want?"
"He told me something I wish I never heard in my life," Jess looked away, staring at a towel hanging up on the wall.
Her husband cupped her cheek, looking straight into her eyes. "What did he say?"
The red head sat in silence for a minute, collecting her thoughts. "He's still in love with me. Randy thinks I'm going to leave you and the kids for him," she paused, waiting for his reaction.
It took a minute for Jeff to control the anger forming inside him. He let out a sigh and kissed Jessica roughly on the lips.
"Did you tell him no?" he questioned.
"Yes, I'm in love with you. Not him," Jess reassured him with a kiss.
"Then Randy's little plan won't fall through. Your worried over nothing. He's trying to mess with you," Jeff laughed to himself. "When he sees Rachel he'll probably ask her the same damn thing,"
Jess looked shocked. "You don't think he would, do you?"
"It's Randy baby, he'll do anything to get pussy,"
She glared at him for a minute. "You disturb me,"
Jeff shook his head at his wife and followed her out of the bathroom. The twins were still fast asleep on the couch, nothing seemed to wake them.
The night continued on until it was time for the main event. Jeff Hardy vs. Carlito for the Intercontinental Championship.
Jessica changed into low rise jeans, hugging her legs with a matching tank halter top which stopped at the top of her belly button. She left her hair down with a bit of a wave to it.
She took her husbands hand, who wore his usual ring attire. They headed towards the curtain, being stopped by a crew man. He quickly explained the new story line that would take place, pissing the two off.
Once Jeff's music boomed through the arena Jeff secured his belt to his waist as Jess swung it over her shoulder. The crowd cheered as the two made their entrance.
Next Carlito came out joining Jeff in the ring as Jess jumped out.
The Ref rung the bell for the match to begin. Both men locked up in the middle, Jeff gaining the upper hand after a few blows to Carlito's face.
He pushed Carlito into the turnbuckles, spearing him once. Jeff climbed atop the third rope, grabbed a chunk of his opponents hair and punched his head. Carlito took his chance with a tiny bit of momentum after the fifth strike he pushed Jeff off him.
A loud thud sounded throughout the stadium as soon as Jeff's back crashed into the mat. Jessica screamed outside the ring and banged on the ring, trying to rise her husbands momentum.
Carlito smirked before clotheslining Hardy. He performed a quick DDT rolling up for a two count.
Jeff struggled to get up and managed to clip the back of Carlito's knee, forcing him to his knees. He used the roped to get up and kicked Carlito in the side.
"Jeff, Jeff, Jeff," Jessica chanted as he climbed the ropes.
All the fans waited in silence as Jeff prepared for the swanton bomb. Out of the corner of his eye Carlito bolted up and speared Jeff into the mat from the air.
Jessica screamed and ran into the ring, pulling Carlito off of Jeff. She slapped Carlito as hard as she could, not realizing she made a big mistake.
His crooked smile left Jess in fear. She backed into the turnbuckles as Carlito stalked her. The red head whimpered as he picked her up. Jessica started kicking and screaming as he waited for the perfect moment to DDT her.
Randy made a surprise entrance throwing Carlito off guard and plunging him to the floor. Jessica stumbled away, moving towards Jeff trying to wake him as Randy squared off with Carlito a few inches away.
"Come on Jeff, time to wake up," Jessica said watching as his eyes fluttered opened.
"I got this," Jeff whispered back.
She smiled, leaving the ring to watch from the outside. Randy set aside for Jeff as he delivered the twist of fate. Next he finished the match with the swanton bomb.
The crowd cheered as Lillian announced the winner.
"Here is your winner and still Intercontinental Champion...Jeff Hardy!"
Jeff grabbed his belt, wrapped his arm around his wife's waist, then looked at Randy with confusion as he held out his hand.
Still no reaction from the Hardy's Randy grabbed a microphone. The crowd fell silent as his lips touched the microphone.
"Jeff and Jess. I'm asking for forgiveness," Randy paused.
Jessica looked at Jeff and begged him to say no. He continued to stare at Orton. He had a big decision to make.
If it weren't for Randy he would have lost his title but then again Randy is trying to break up his relationship with the red head. A good and an evil, everything always happened this way.
Obeying the storyline McMahon came up with, Jeff shook Randy's hand.
Jeff grabbed his own microphone. "Alright man, let's see what happens,"
Raw went to a commercial and back quicker than before.
Events from the match earlier flash backed as everyone took in the alliance Hardy and Orton made.
In the back Jess was fuming next to her husband. The camera crew zoomed in on her as she walked side to side with Jeff.
"Are you kidding me!?" she yelled stopping in her tracks.
Jeff shook his head. "Calm down baby, let me explain," He tried to wrap his arms around her but she pushed him away.
"Its Randy Orton Jeff! What is there to explain!" she continued to fume. "You know what he did to me or should I say us three years ago! There is no way in hell he has changed!" Jeff looked away from her. She took his face in her hands. "Look me in the eye and tell me you aren't serious about this!
He took a minute to reply. "If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be champion right now. If I start to become his partner think of what we could do. Trust me its good for us,"
"So your doing this as a chance to get to the top,"
Jeff nodded.
"Your already at the top!"
"It's not the same. Can we just see what happens? It doesn't hurt to try,"
Those puppy eyes trapped Jessica along with the gentle kiss she received. "Fine," she gave in. "I don't want to be near him though or want him talking to me,"
"Yes ma'am!" he saluted.
The camera's cut and Raw went off air.
