Chapter 14 - The Happy Ending
Months went by after everything that happened, and Maria and Jeff were still together, and Kelly, although still with Punk, still had feelings for Jeff, too. Only that day, though, she'd receive the shock of HER life...
"Punk, did Creative end this storyline with us or something, because we haven't shared screen time in months!" Kelly cried while they were at the next arena.
"Well I guess so. It lasted for nearly a year, so it's time to move on, I guess." he replied.
"We should go to them and tell them to bring us back together!" she exclaimed.
"Kel, it's too late, now." he replied, sipping his Pepsi.
"Why are you so nonchalant about this? Didn't you like all the screen time we shared? All the matches we were in together?" she asked.
"Sure I did, but you know these things can't last forever!" he exclaimed. "I'll be right back, I gotta get ready for my tag match with Mickie."
She looked shocked. "Mickie? As in my best friend Mickie?" she cried.
"Yeah, I think Creative wants me in a storyline with her. Anyways, I'll see you around." he replied, heading off to his locker room while she was left shocked.
Then, she turned around to find Candice, Eve, and Maria chatting together, and glared towards them.
"Ria, I'm so happy that you and Jeff have been together for nearly a year now!" exclaimed Candice.
"Technically, we've known each other for over 5 years, so it's really a lot longer." she smiled.
"So what do you think his surprise for you is?" asked Eve.
"I dunno, he just told me that it was a surprise that I'd never forget." she replied.
"He told me the exact same thing." Kelly replied. "Before he yelled at me and ended things forever. Who wants to bet that the same's going to happen to you?"
"Oh, shut up, Kelly!" snapped Eve.
"Yeah, the difference between me and you is that I actually love Jeff and wouldn't dream about cheating on him with anyone." Maria added. "As a matter of fact, he's been happier with me than he's even been with you, and I intend to treat him like the prince that he is."
Hearing all this, Jeff smiled and replied, "And I'd treat you like the princess that you are."
"Hey, Enigma!" she greeted, sharing a kiss with him.
"Uh, hi, Jeff." Kelly mustered up a smile.
He glanced at her. "Kelly."
"I uh, missed you. How you doing?" she asked.
"I'm doing great, but why would you give a damn?" he asked.
"Jeff, even though I'm with Punk, I still care about you." she replied.
The girls rolled their eyes while Jeff replied, "Yeah, that sentence tells a lot. Anyways, I just figured that it's time for my surprise now."
Kelly saw the small black box in his hand and smiled. "Oh, Jeff, are you proposing to me again? Is the wedding still on?" she asked with hope.
He gave her a look. "In your dreams. I mean, there's still going to be a wedding, but not yours. I'm proposing to Maria." he replied, turning to her.
Kelly, Candy and Eve gasped in shock while Maria was speechless. "C-Come again?"
He smiled at her and got down on one knee while he took her hand. "Maria Kanellis, unlike some people whose name won't be mentioned *gestures towards Kelly*, you've been a true friend to me for over 5 years now. I've grown to love you as more than my best friend-actually, I've ALWAYS loved you as more than my best friend, and it'd mean the world to me if I could take you to be my wife. Will you marry me?" he asked with hope in his emerald green eyes.
Tears ran down her face while she smiled and replied, "Oh, Jeff, how could I ever say no? Of course I'll marry you!"
He smiled and leaped up before the two wrapped each other in a tight hug and shared a passionate kiss, while Kelly looked shell shocked.
"Oh, you guys!-Congrats!" Eve and Candice exclaimed while the rest of the locker room (who had just happened to be in the area saw everything) cheered for them.
"Wait, wait, guys, I haven't even given her the ring yet!" Jeff exclaimed, opening the box to reveal a beautiful jade colored engagement ring.
"Oh, my God, it's beautiful!" Maria exclaimed happily. "This looks like it could've cost like, $5,000, how'd you get it?"
"Easy. I returned Kelly's old engagement ring and used some of that cash to by a better one for you." he replied, while Kelly looked pissed and stormed off.
"Jeffro, I love you so much!" Maria exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him.
"I love you too, Ria." he replied, wrapping his arms around her.
"Well, this calls for a celebration. Let's head to the first nightclub we can find, and all drinks are on me!" announced Eve.
"WOOHOO!" everyone cheered, heading off.
"Wait, I can't afford drinks for ALL of you!" she called, chasing after them. "COME BACK, DAMMIT!"
