Chapter 25: Rae's Choice:

The next day, Rae had been anticipating the arrival of her old friends, Steve-o and Chris Pontius. She had been hanging out with Jeff since their morning work out in the hotel gym at six o'clock. She was clad in a black tank top, black Aeropostale pants, and black sneakers, her hair was tied up in a messy bun. Jeff was in black cloth shorts, a white muscle shirt and his hair was free of any abnormal color, it was his natural dark blonde, and was left down.

"You excited?" he asked her as they made their way back to their hotel room, now that Glen was on SMACKDOWN! they had begun to room together.

"Yeah." She replied.

When they entered their room, Rae asked, "So, you wanna shower first or should I?"

"I gotta better idea." Jeff said with a smirk that made her have to return it. He laced his fingers with hers and led her into the bathroom.

She walked into the middle of the room while Jeff shut the door behind them. He walked over to her and placed either of his hands on either side of her neck.

"I'm liken this idea…" Rae said.

He smiled and gently placed his lips against hers. As the kiss grew more fierce and the passion rose, the more the anticipation grew between them.

He broke the kiss and looked down into her eyes. "I love you, Rae."

"I love you." She said.

Jeff walked over to the shower and turned on the water and stared the shower.

He than pulled off his shirt and walked back over to her. She smiled and began to run her hands up his bare chest, feeling the fine hairs. She grabbed his belly button piercing and gently pulled and twisted it, causing him to groan. He pulled off her tank top and repeated her movements with her own piercing. They proceeded to pull off each other's clothes and entered the shower together.

Jeff looked down at her body and admired every crevice and curve that she possessed; she was beautiful.

"You know what I just realized?" she said. "This is the first time that I've seen you naked. And I like what I see."

Jeff stepped behind her and grabbed the soap. He began to lather her breasts with the lavender scented soap and she sighed and laid her head back against his shoulder.

"You've got the most beautiful body…" He said.

His already hard, large erection jumped when she reached back and tangled her fingers into his long dark blonde hair.

He moved his hands, which were still clutching the soap, further down her body and pushing it into her.

"Jeff…" she moaned.

"You like that, baby?" he asked and pulled it out and pumped it back in.

"Ahh…" she groaned and he continued pulling it out and than pumping it back in. "Mmm hmm…"

She reached behind her and grabbed onto his erection, gently running her hands over it.

"Jeff… I'm gonna cum…" she practically screamed.

He instantly dropped the soap and plunged three of his fingers deep into her and she screamed again. "Cum… cum for me baby…" He whispered to her ear, the feel of his warm breath against her wet skin make her come even closer. She felt her knees begin to give way when he did this but he wrapped his arm around her waist to save her from falling.

He felt her internal muscles tightly clamp around his fingers and her cum moistened his skin. He pulled them out slowly and turned her around again.

Rae looked at him and flashed a seductive smile as he slowly licked his fingers clean of her juices. "Sweet as sugar." He said.

He pressed her against the walls of the shower and started to press himself into her hot center. He than slammed into her and his groan and her scream echoed around the tiny bathroom. After they each reached their climaxes, he continued to pump his seed into her and kept whispering, "I love you… I love you… I love you…" When she heard this… it dawned on her, she loved him too. "I love you too." She breathed and ran a finger across his cheek, feeling his soft skin.

They slowly stepped out of the shower and turned off the water.

Jeff ran a towel up and down her body, drying her and when he was done, he wrapped it around her and she did the same to him, wrapping it around his waist.

They clambered out of the bathroom and Jeff said, "We'd better get dressed…"

"Yeah." She said and picked out her outfit from one of her suitcases and stepped into the bathroom.

When she was in the still steam filled room, the after effects of her orgasm was beginning to set in on her. Purple and black spots were beginning to form in front of her eyes and she had to lean onto the sink to keep from falling asleep or knocking out onto the white tiled floor. Rae sighed and turned the faucet on the sink to cold and began splashing some of it on her face in an attempt to wake herself up, and it sort of half worked, but fatigue was still set on her.

"Uh, whatever, I can deal with it…" she said to herself and began to pull her clothes on.

She came out of the bathroom wearing a black HIM tee shirt, which she had tied up with a small black hair tie in the back of the shirt and tucked the tie in so that it was not visible but showed off her lower back and hips, she also had cargo pants, a black bandana, and black and pink sneakers. She had applied black eyeliner, black eye shadow, mascara, and clear, shiny lip-gloss. She had also straightened her hair and added her normal black streaks and today put in pink ones.

"Whoa, you look amazing." Jeff exclaimed when she stepped out.

"Thanks, so do you…" Rae observed.

He was wearing a new black muscle shirt and black cargo pants and had added braids all around his dark blond hair.

He walked up to her and gently placed his lips to hers and when he broke their embrace he said, "C'mon, we better head on down to the arena."

"Yeah, let's go." She said.

On the way to the parking lot, Rae knew that she had to find Shannon.

"Jeff, I'll meet you at the arena, there's something that I really have to do first, ok?" she said.

"Yeah, I'll see you there." He said.

She ran down the hall toward Shannon's hotel room and when she reached her destination, she knocked and he answered a few seconds later.

"Hey, Rae." He said with a smile and stepping aside to allow her entry into his room. "C'mon in. I'm just getting ready to head down to the arena."

"Oh." She said. "Look, Shan, we really need to talk."

"Ok, what about?"

"Well, I can't continue this relationship… or whatever it is that we have together… I can't do it any longer. I don't want anything with you, past a friendship." She said, tears about to break from her eyes. But she held them back. The worst that could happen would be that he would refuse to have anything with her, that he would refuse to continue their friendship. She knew that she would be happy with Jeff, and did not want to continue leading Shannon on, he was a good man and deserved more than that.

Shannon did not say anything, he felt like his heart had been torn to a thousand pieces and were burned.

"I'm really sorry, but I'm in love with Jeff, I know that I am and I probably have been since I first saw him. And I don't want to continue leading you on the way I have been…" she said. "You deserve so much more than that. I just hope that you understand and will still have me as a friend."

After a few moments, Shannon croaked, "Yeah, of understand and it is my honor to have you as a friend." He was beginning to lose his voice, which had caused his words to come out in a croaking sound.

"Good, I'm glad." She said and hugged him. "I'll see you later, than?"

"Definitely." He said.

"Alright, I'll see you later." She said and ran out into the hall and out into the parking lot, she was in such a good mood.

She hopped into her rental car, turned on the ignition and pulled out of the parking lot. She blasted her Rascal Flatts CD, it reminded her of back home in Syracuse, so many people listened to it there, and she loved it. She cranked up the volume when Life is a High Way, and noticed that this was exactly how she felt at that very moment and she sang with the lyrics of the song.

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here an' the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where brave are free an' lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate
Ta' break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today, yeaha...

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
Well, I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities an' all these towns
It's in my blood an' it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road an' these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down, an' back up again
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long (all night long)

(Ah, Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah!)

Chorus:
Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long
(Hmmm, yeah!)
If you're going my way (you're goin' my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (all night long)

There was a distance between you an' I (between you and I)
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye
Ooooohh, yeah!
(Mmmm, yeah
Ah, hm, hm, hm, hm)

There ain't no load that I can't hold
A road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long (all night long, yeah)
If you're goin' my way
Well, I wanna drive it all night long

(Ah, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, yeah!)

Life is a highway (life is a highway)
I wanna ride it all night long
(Ooooo, yeah)
You're going my way (you're goin' my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (all night long, yeah)

(C'mon!
Ah gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah!)

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long (yeah, I wanna drive it all night long, baby)
If you're goin' my way (you're goin' my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (all night long)

She pulled into the arena exited her car.

Rae approached the back and flashed her official WWE pass to the guard and he nodded, confirming her entry.

She looked up at one of the clocks and read that Steve-o and Chris were due to arrive any time soon, and her anticipation for her friend's arrival grew immensely.

She walked into the Hardy Boyz locker room and found Jeff spread out on the couch listening to his I-pod. He must have had it up loud, for he did not respond as he usually did when she walked in, but he kept his eyes closed and his head bopping to the music. As she approached him, she could hear the sound of Pearl Jam blasting from the little white ear-pieces. She giggled a bit to herself and lay down on top of him, keeping her eyes on his face the whole time.

His eyes shot open and a look of shock spread across his face.

"Hey, baby." She said.

"Hey." He replied, pulling the ear-pieces out of his ears.

"I want you to hear somethin." She said, pulling out her black I-pod and putting one of the head phones into her own ear and handing one to Jeff to put into his, which he did. "It describes how I feel about you." She added.

Again the burden of losing
Rests upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
Your tomb is where your heart is,
I should have told her
But within me hid a secret so terrible

To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

The kiss of vanity you blessed me with, spiritual woman,
Face the gods of war insatiable
Your home is where the dark is, I should have told her
Embrace the fire indestructible

To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

And they say to cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a deserted soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile,

If I should die before I wake
I pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love

When the song ended, Jeff looked down at her and she said, "That's how I feel about you."

"I feel the same." He replied. Their lips clashed together fiercely in a heated frenzy of passion and Rae swore that within the next hour her lips would be a bit bruised, but she loved their embrace.

Unfortunately, a knocking on the door interrupted them.

Rae groaned and said, "I'll get it."

She got up from her position on top of Jeff and walked over to the door, which she slowly opened to reveal her friends Steve-o and Chris Pontius.

XxXxXxX

Sorry, guys, but you're gonna have to wait to find out about Steve-o and Chris till the next chapter. This story is winding down, unfortunately, but I promise that there will be a whole mess of drama in the few chapters there are left to come. But, never fear, for I will be writing a sequel for it, I already know what I want to have it about, I just have trouble putting it on paper. I have come up with a name for it, 'A Raven Smiles.' So, once this is done, keep an eye out for that!
