I do not own the wrestlers or Beth
I do own Noel
The ruffling of sheets was what woke her up. Noel rolled over looking as the digital clock read 4:00am. What was Matt doing? Her head was pounding as she felt her face sticky with dried tears. Was she crying in her sleep?
"Babe, come on I got to go." Matt slid his body next to hers, breathing the scent on her skin. No, she didn't want him to leave her, she just got home and now he was leaving. Thank God next week the film classes started.
Without a sound Noel got up from her warm bed and quickly dressed, dreading of what was going to come. She didn't want him to leave…she secretly wished deep, down inside that he was the one suspended and not Jeff. It was selfish of her to think, but now she was going to be stuck in a house with her ex fiancée and his fiancé. The young wife felt herself ready to cry.
"Noel, you ready?" Matt called from the bathroom, making her heart burn with the selfish feeling. She nodded, her voice not wanting to come out yet from her sleep. She closed her eyes once more feeling the twinge of him actually going to go.
The drive to the airport was quiet, and Noel knew he wasn't going to say a word. She took her time on the way down the long dusty road, and was trying to not even show her emotions. Matt hated when she would do that. Shut herself off from the world until she was ready to crack. It was typical Noel.
"Are you happy?" he was the first to talk, making her jump in her seat. Her thoughts were shattered the moment he opened his mouth.
"What do you mean?" she answered.
"We finally told them after so long, I am wondering now if it was a bad idea."
Noel took in a deep breath, her eyes staring into the straight road as she started to bite her nails on her right hand.
"Matt they needed to know. Don't beat yourself up over it baby." She was trying to convince herself that this was for the best of their relationship. Noel was right about the family needing to know. They couldn't go through their life with any suspicion between any of them.
"I'm not, I just hate the way he looks at you No." Matt raised his voice. It was too early to even think let alone yell. The young bride flinched gripping onto the wheel tighter. Jeff had his time, and blew it. Both of them knew that.
The rest of the way was quiet, and the tension just grew. Matt glanced at his wife, reaching over to grip the hand that continued to bite her nails. She relaxed, but not fully and Matt raised her hand to his lips
"Maybe you're right about them not knowing." It was a constant flip-flop in her heart that seemed to never go away. The way Jeff looked at her when she came into the restaurant was the most confused look she has ever seen. To him this was just a joke that one day when her and Matt decide enough was enough they would say surprise.
"Now you're saying that?" Matt chuckled. He didn't want to think about his wife and his brother. For once he could actually say it hurt thinking that she was even with him at one point, "I still don't think he could believe that you were right in front of his eyes. Beth as well." He chuckled. Noel tried to laugh as well, a fake chuckle.
"I know, but it will pass." She choked a bit on her words.
An hour passed by when they reached the terminal and Noel's heart started to palpate from the thought of being left alone in her house with her ex fiancé and his new fiancée. When was their house going to be built? Noel stood at the trunk, watching as her husband grab the rest of his bags.
"You're giving me that face again, and guess what I am not Jeff." He snapped her from that daze.
"What face?" she snapped back.
Matt shook his head and sighed as he went and kissed his wife's cheek. Her body melted instantly and a small smile appeared on her face. Matt cupped her face into his rough hands, his breath smelling like orange tic tacs.
"It's the face you use to give Jeff when you would drop us off, when he would hold your face exactly like this." Noel felt her body shake ever so slightly by the thoughts he put into her head.
"Well thank you for the mental kick." She sighed
"You're welcome." Matt chuckled, pressing his lips to hers.
The moment broke when someone honked the horn behind them, telling them to move. Mrs. Hardy shook her head once more, grabbing her husband into an embrace.
"I'll call you when I get there, just for now please don't kill Jeff and Beth. I don't need to be trying to find their bodies, or springing you from jail."
" I love you babe."
"I love you too." Thoes were Matt's last words as he planted a small kiss on her lips. She watched as he grabbed her bags and wondered off into the airport. It took everything in her not to cry. Just when she thought that maybe things would be different it just was a giant circle and she found herself right back at the same place.
