When we last left off, Kurt had told Mr. McMahon he had "suspicions" about Matt Hardy.  Mr. McMahon said he would look into it.

Separation Anxiety

Chapter 4- Close Encounter

            "Do you think Kurt went to Mr. McMahon?" Jade asked as they walked down the hall on their way to the ring.

            "I hope to hell not.  I'll have to hurt him if he did."

            "You're not the only one.  And I don't mean just me."

            "Mm-hm.  Now, let's go out there and kick Regal's ass."

            Jade grinned and kissed Edge briefly on the lips as they headed out to the ring.

[Matt Hardy's dressing room]

            Fear flooded through Matt at the sound of a knock on the door.  But then again, if that was fear, pure terror filled him as he heard the voice of who was knocking.

            "Matt, open the door, I need to talk to you."

            "Shit." Muttered Lita

            "Hide, quick."

            "Where?"

            "Er…the bathroom!" it was if he had struck gold.  Lita nodded, ran in there, and closed the door.  Matt walked over, and opened the door.

            "Hi, Mr. McMahon.  What's up?"

            "Well, Matt, Kurt Angle came to me and said something about Lita hiding in here."

            "She's not.  I don't know where Angle got that idea."

            Vince looked at him suspiciously, as if he could tell he was lying.  When he spoke again, his voice was dark. "Alright, look." He began. "I don't know what the heck you're doing with that little bitch but I swear if I catch you, you're both fired." With that, he turned, walked out, and closed the door behind him.

            'Note to self,' Matt thought angrily. 'Kill Angle and Mr. McMahon.'  No one called Lita a bitch and got away with it.  No one.

[Lita's P.O.V.]

            Lita came out of the bathroom to find Matt looking like an angry bull.

            "What happened?" she asked softly.

            "Mr. McMahon came by and apparently Angle told him about us.  He said that if he ever catches us together, we're both fired."

            "Shit." She muttered again. "Shit, shit shit."

            "Lita, do you know what this means?" he had come to a horrible realization.

            She could sense it.  This was really bad.  Tears pricked her eyes. "W-What?"

            "We can't do this anymore.  It's too dangerous for both of us.  If we got caught…" he trailed off.  Both of them knew he was right.  They didn't want to believe it, though.  Lita couldn't help it, she started to cry quietly.  Matt hugged her close.

            "I know you're upset." He said quietly, stroking her hair. "I am too, but we have to go along with this.  Until one of us becomes champ or something…"

            Lita nodded, hugging him back. "That's what I'll do." She said quietly, wiping away tears. "I'll become Women's Champion again."

TBC!!

A/N- This part was a little better in my opinion.  Probably just because I put more sappy stuff in.  Anyway, please review.  Flames will be used to roast marshmallows.  Thank you!^_^  Have a happy day!
