~*~*The Next Morning

"Miranda...M... wake up." Bri whispered, tugging her out of bed. "Why is Matt in here?"

"Amy started her shit last night. I told him he could crash here; he was a wreck over it. Why? You need the room for something?"

"No, actually, Dave and I are leaving for a while. I have some errands to run, since it is our day off and all. I was just wondering why there was a new guy in your bed." She laughed. "I'll catch ya later, sis."

"Yeah, later." M replied. Bri grabbed her coat and opened the door, as Amy stepped in the room.

"What the hell do you want?" Bri said sharply. "Get the hell out my room, bitch."

"Matt? Honey? What are you doing in here? I waited for you all night last night, but I know you wouldn't sleep with someone who already slept with everyone else in the locker room, like Miranda, right?" Amy said, pushing past Bri as if she had never said anything.

"Fuck you. Go away." Matt said, trying to wake up.

"Fuck me? You could have last night! I told you that! Now come on, let me get you out of here, out of this...slum and we'll go back to my suite." Amy said.

"Hey bitch!" Bri said grabbing her by the shoulder and turning her around. "I told you once to get the fuck out of here, now go. I'm not in the mood to look at your bitchy, slutty, skanky, thong-wearing ass so get the fuck out before you and I both regret this."

"Regret? All I regret is not finishing you off when I finished Stephanie! You and your dumbass sister think you can annihilate me? Try it." She said.

Bri reached up to smack her in the face when David grabbed her hand. "Not here. Not now."

"Then get her out of..." Bri said as she was knocked to the floor. "You fucking whore I'll kill you if it's the..."

"Brianna, Brianna, Brianna. Stop writing checks that your ass can't cash. You can't beat me. No one can." Amy said. M ran up from behind and hung on her neck, her hands grasped tightly around her throat as Lita fell backwards, with all of her weight on top of M. Amy stood up smiling. "One Mallery down, one to go. You want a piece of me, slut?"

"Slut? You're the one sleeping with my sister's man!" Bri screamed.

"Oh yeah, I guess I'd better finish her off before she comes back to hurt me, right?" Amy said, turning around, placing her foot directly on Miranda's throat. "Suck on that, bitch."

"Get off of her!" Matt yelled aggressively as he clotheslined Lita to the floor. "Don't screw with me, bitch. You have no idea what you're up against."

"Maybe not, but don't say I didn't ask to find out in bed." She laughed as she lay on the floor. "Of course, I am here right now, you could always show me."

Silence fell through the room as David pulled the lamp off of the dresser and smacked her in the head with it. "That should shut the loud mouth bitch up for a while."

"Miranda!" Matt exclaimed, kneeling beside her lifeless body on the floor. "Are you okay? C'mon, get up."

"Hey. I'm fine." She said as he reached under her arms to pick her up.

"Come on. Let's get you up here."

Miranda sat up on the edge of the bed. "I'm fine, Matt. Really."

"Miranda? Remember what you told me last night about the somebody thing?"

"Yeah, what about it?" she asked with a questioning look.

"The truth is, I love you. I love you more than I've ever loved anyone. I loved you ever since you started dating Chris, but I figured I never had a chance with you because who am I? I'm just Matt. I don't know if you love me the same, but even if you don't I can't help but keep on loving you." He looked at the ground. "You brightened up my day every time I saw you. My heart stops every time you walk by, hoping that you would talk to me again. I can't stop feeling this way about you, and I never had the guts to tell you until last night. You told me about the somebody thing... Miranda, I think you are my somebody." Matt looked into her tear-filled eyes and gave a smile.

Jeff interrupted the sweet moment with a groan in the doorway. "About damn time you admitted it, loser. David, Bri, y'all help me get this slut out of here."

Bri took hold of Lita's head and smacked it purposely into the open doorway. "Uh, whoops! That was an 'accident'." Miranda stood up to help them carry Lita out, but Bri stopped her, dropping Lita's head to the ground with a loud thud.

"M, go..." Bri put her hands on her hips. David and Jeff pulled Lita's legs out into the hallway. "Miranda, I don't want you arguing with me. Get in there now."

"Okay, call me if anything happens. I'll be over there right away to help you." Miranda walked back to the bed as Bri closed the door.

"Yeah, yeah. I know. I'll see you later." Bri walked out the door, yelling at the fallen Lita. "Who's the slut now? OH! On your back, Amy, a familiar position for a skank like you!"

Miranda laughed as the door was shut. She fell onto the bed and looked at Matt hovering over her with a smile. He placed his hand on her bare tummy and caressed it softly. She giggled as he began to tickle her the softer he went against her skin. He kissed her gentle neck and crawled on top of her.

The way she smelled drove him crazy. The smell of vanilla intoxicated him as he embraced her in his arms, but he was unsure whether he wanted to pursue the situation with crazy Amy running around. He tried to give her the aching satisfaction he had longed to give her in those kisses, but the thought of Amy hurting her plagued his mind. While brushing the small blonde strands out of her face, he kissed her forehead. He wanted to give her every fantasy he had dreamed about her, but an annoying knock interrupted their euphoric heaven.

Miranda groaned and rolled to the side as he stood up and answered the door. It was Chris. He stood at the door sending fear into Matt's body. Miranda looked up at him from the bed and her heart stopped.
