If looks could kill.

I do not own WWE, or it's superstars. I only own Danielle's character, along with her Father's, Mother's, and Step-Father's characters.

Chapter 21.

'I won't tell nobody
But I won't live like a prisoner
Nothing has to be so perfect
Can you tell me was it worth it
Because the heart can't lie
And even though the face may try
Love can keep you up all night'

Later that night at the hotel... Jeff had retained his Intercontinental Championship against Mr. Kennedy. Dani and Jeff both were pretty sore, and pretty tired from their matches. Dani sat down on her bed in her hotel room. She had just changed into a big, comfortable t-shirt. She let out a deep sigh as she lye down. It was already 2AM. Her ribs were really sore. She reached over and grabbed the remote to the TV. As she flipped through channels, she had a bunch of things running through her mind. Ben, her match, and Jeff. She slightly felt uncomfortable being alone, as the thought of Ben somehow finding her came to mind. She got chills down her spine, and Goosebumps on her arms. She hadn't spent the night alone in months. Ever since she left Ben, she had been sleeping in the same room as Jeff. Tonight they were scheduled in different rooms. She nervously started shaking. Come on Dani. It's one night. Ben's not going to find you. Jeff is just a couple doors down.. Nothing will happen. She breathed in, and continued watching TV. Much to her mistake, she had stopped flipping through channels while she wasn't thinking about it, and it landed on a horror movie. Those things could be so addictive- but its the one thing she does not need right now.

Don't go in the closet! Don't. You idiot, you're not supposed to go in the closet! Dani silently said to the TV. Obviously, the girl on the TV opened the closet door. The girl on the TV screamed, making Dani scared. A man had come out of the closet with a knife. Dani flung out of bed, and ran to turn it off. She was now shaking horribly. The quietness in the room made her even more nervous. She grabbed her key card, then ran out the door. She walked a few doors down to Jeff's room, and thought. Dani, he's probably asleep. Just go back to you're room. But she ignored her thoughts, and hesitated to knocked on the door, but she did anyways. When he opened the door, Dani's heart started racing. "Hey Shorty..." Jeff smiled, but Dani didn't even notice as she was very distracted. Jeff stood there with only basketball shorts on. Alright- maybe he didn't have the best body in the world...but damn- it sure was hot. "Dani?" Jeff said trying to get her attention. Her head quickly snapped back up. She had seen Jeff with no shirt, countless times- but she never felt this way.

"S...sorry. Jeff. I uh..." She said trying not to look at him.

He laughed. "Let me guess... you didn't want to be alone?"

She slightly nodded, and he opened the door some more to let her in. She smiled, and walked past him.

Jeff's P.O.V.

Who could that be? I went and looked through the peep hole. I got a big smile on my face when I saw who it was. "Hey Shorty." I said as I opened the door. Damn, I couldn't help but notice that big t-shirt she was wearing. It showed off those perfect legs of hers. She didn't say a word to me... and then I noticed... was she, checking me out? She seemed nervous... although it probably didn't help that I was standing here in only basket ball shorts.

"S...sorry. Jeff. I uh..." She mumbled. Considering what time it was, I automatically knew she didn't want to sleep in a room by herself. She was still terrified of Ben. Even though he was all the way back in New York. "Let me guess... you didn't want to be alone?" I smiled. She gently nodded her head, as I opened the door a little more to let her in. She walked past me, and I couldn't help but watch her. I got butterflies in my stomach again. I keep telling myself I need to ask her, but I really don't want to ruin anything. But- this is a good opportunity right now. Just do it Jeff! C'mon!

She sat down on the bed, and I sat next to her. I noticed she was trembling... was she really that scared? Or was she nervous about something else? Oh god... now I'm trembling. Why is she all of a sudden doing this to me? I've known her all my life... and never have I felt like this around her. The scary thing is... I have never felt this way about a woman before. It looks like she wants to say something... but why isn't she? She's nervous. Alright, I need to ask her something anyways. I might as well break the tension. I need to ask her. I need to know where we stand.

Dani's P.O.V.

I walked past him, and sat on the bed. Oh gosh, he's sitting down next to me. He smells so good. He always does though. Damn it Dani! Snap out of it! He has smelt this way for years, and you are just noticing it? My stomach is flipping... in a good way. Man, I'm trembling. Dani stop, you've known him your whole life. Why are you just now falling for him? I don't know the answer... but man, I'm falling hard. Since I'm here, I might as well ask. I need to ask. I need to know where we stand. Alright, I'm going to ask. "..." That is if I could get the words out of my damn mouth! "Jeff..."

"Dani..." We both started speaking at the same time. I laughed, he did as well. He was so cute when he laughed.

"You go..." He told me.

"No... you." I insisted.

"Nope. You go..." Jeff argued with a smile. How could I argue with that?

"Alright..." I paused. "Jeff... I want to know... I need to know..." I hesitated a little. "Where we stand?" I bit my bottom lip.

He smiled again. Gosh, my heart just melts when he smiles.

Jeff's P.O.V.

I argued with her when she insisted I spoke first. She smiled, which made me smile. Then she started speaking. Stuttering on her words as she spoke.

"Alright..." She paused. "Jeff... I want to know... I need to know..." What was she about to ask? I had a feeling... "Where do we stand?" She said as she bit her bottom lip. I smiled, and almost giggled. I had a feeling she was going to say that.

"I was about to ask you the same thing..." I laughed. She smiled, then looked at her hands; which were folded, and placed in her lap. I could tell she was nervous. "Where do you think we stand?" I turned my smile into more of a serious look.

"I'm not sure..." She paused. I saw her eyes start to tear up. Oh no, please God... I hope me kissing her didn't upset her. My heart sank at the thought that she didn't want the same thing as me. Jeff, she doesn't want you! That's why you have been best friends your whole life. If she liked you, you would have known it along time ago. My heart started racing, and it felt like it broke at the same time. If she's ready to cry, I must have upset her. God, now we will never be the same again. A tear just slid down her cheek...Why am I such an idiot!?

"God, Dani. I'm sorry... I should have realized you didn't like me like that... I'm sorry I kissed you...now you're crying. I'm sorry." I said, putting my head in my hands. I can't believe I was that stupid! She's never going to forgive me now...

I got chills down my back when she placed her hand on my shoulder. She softly started speaking. "Jeff..." She paused. "Don't be sorry you kissed me." She lightly smiled.

My head quickly went back, and now I was face to face with her gorgeous blue eyes. My heart started racing, and I felt heat rush through my body.

"The reason you didn't realize that I didn't like you like that, was because I really do like you. A lot. And I could only hope you like me as much as I like you, Jeff." She shed another tear. My heart was racing, and the butterflies in my stomach felt as if they were on drugs. They wouldn't stop for anything. I looked into her eyes. "Dani. I do." I paused. "I do like you, a lot. A lot more than you could ever know." We didn't lose I contact for close to a minute, before she looked down, and shed another tear.

"What's the matter?" I softly asked. She didn't look back up at me... but she softly replied.

"I'm scared, Jeff." She said as a tear fell from her eye.

I put my hand on hers, making her know I was there. And I would understand, whatever she was going to say.

"Of what Shorty?" I softly asked.

She bit her bottom lip, and looked up at me. "Every relationship I have been in, in the past few years. In exception to the one with John... have ended horribly, and I always end up getting hurt. I just, don't want that to happen, Jeff." She started crying even more.

My heart sank at her words, and I almost felt as if I were going to cry too. Wow, I must be in deep, man. I haven't cried since... I was a teenager. She tilted her head back down, but I quickly cupped her face in my hands, and used my thumb to wipe away the tears that were falling down her cheeks. "I want you to listen to me, Dani." I firmly said. "I would never do anything to hurt you. You of all people should know that. If I did, I would never be able to live with myself..." I softly said, as I wiped another tear away from her cheek. She started trembling again.

She got out of my grasp, and stood up. "I know! I know..." She said as if she were annoyed with herself. I stood up, and walked towards her. "I just..." She started, but I cut her off. I couldn't take it anymore. I firmly, yet gently cupped her face in my hands once again, and passionately kissed her. She seemed a bit taken back by it, but soon she melted into it.

She finally broke the kiss and quietly whispered in my ear. "I love you." My heart started racing even more than it was. My stomach flipped. I then grabbed her again, and kissed her multiple times, before I looked her in the eye. "I love you too." She then rapped her arms around my neck, and we kissed passionately again. She wrapped her legs around my waist, as a walked us across the room... and gently laid her down on the bed.
