***Are you all used to my notes before I get down to the nitty gritty of the story yet? This one is addressing some of the reviews I've gotten. I realize Lita's real name is Amy Dumas, but I am not comfortable writing about real people, I'm writing about the characters they play on TV...not the actual people. I know I used Irvine instead of Jericho, but that's just because Stephanie Jericho sounds horrible. So keep on reading! This one is almost over and then I move onto the last member of Team Xtreme for all you Jeff Hardy fans, then Triple H, and then there is (as far as I can see right now) one more that will be about one of my made up characters. Have fun reading and thanks for all the great reviews!***
November 2001
"Where the hell is your sister?" Jeff angrily asked Dallas.
"I think she's getting ready for a date," Dallas said. Jeff looked hot. He was wearing leopard print pants and a long-sleeved black see-thru shirt. His hair was streaked with dark blue and dark green. "In Steph's dressing room I think."
Jeff glanced at the monitor in Team Xtreme's dressing room to see that Stephanie was at the ring, cheering her husband on. "Thanks Dal."
"Sure," Dallas answered. "Hey Jeff."
"What?" Jeff asked, stopping at the door.
"Whatever it is," Dallas said. "Don't kill her. I kind of like having her around."
"Why in the world would I ever kill my best friend?" Jeff asked. "I just plan to torture her for the rest of her natural life."
"In that case," Dallas said grinning, "have fun."
Jeff walked quickly to Stephanie's dressing room, thinking of thousands of different ways to kill Madison. All of them seemed extremely painful. He opened the door without knocking and stopped still.
"Hey Jeff," Madison said brightly. She noticed the frown on his face. "What?"
Jeff momentarily forgot why he had searched out Madison. She looked...wait, he was there for a reason. "How could you?"
"How could I what?" Madison asked, turning to the mirror to apply lipstick.
"Set up Matt and Meredith!" Jeff exclaimed.
"Oh that," Madison said, shrugging. "I told them each to meet me at a restaurant at a certain time and had them bump into each other. No big deal."
"Obviously not to you," Jeff exclaimed.
"How did you find out?" Madison asked, combing her fingers through her dark hair.
"I called Matt and he happened to mention he was on a date at the moment," Jeff said. "And he said something about you setting it up."
"He told me he liked her," Madison said. "And any idiot could see Meredith is head over heels for Matt. All they needed was a little push."
"You'd think with your busy love life you wouldn't have enough time to meddle in other people's love life," Jeff said, finally sitting in a chair.
"My busy love life?" Madison asked.
"You know you have more dates than a calendar," Jeff sighed.
"So why are you mad at me?" Madison asked, moving to stand in front of him.
"Matt's not ready for this yet," Jeff said.
"Why not?" Madison asked. "It's been more than two months since he and Lita broke up."
"But it's only been a month since he tried to kill himself," Jeff said.
"And now he's moving on Jeff," Madison said. "You don't need to worry so much about him. He's going to counseling, or counseling is coming to him. He even had lunch with Lita and Shane the other day."
"Really?" Jeff asked. "And it was civil?"
"From what I hear," Madison said, nodding her head. She giggled as Jeff pulled her down to sit in his lap.
"How is it you hear so much more than I do?" Jeff said.
"That's easy," Madison said. "I'm prettier than you are."
"Right," Jeff said. "Who are you going out with tonight?"
"Kurt," Madison said.
"As in Angle?" Jeff asked.
Madison nodded. "He promised to let me touch his medals."
Jeff rolled his eyes. "Will you just settle on a guy already?"
"Any suggestions?" Madison asked. "I've gone out with Christian, Raven, Crash, and Rocky. Trips keeps hounding me for a date now that he and Molly are over. I'll have to think about that one."
"How about me?" Jeff teased.
"I would if my sister weren't half-crazy over you," Madison replied.
"Liar," Jeff said.
"Ask her," Madison said, jumping from his lap as someone knocked on the door. "Come on in Kurt."
"Hi Madison," Kurt said. "You look great."
"Thanks Kurt," Madison said. She grabbed his hand in hers. "Have a good night Jeff."
"You too Mads," Jeff said.
She looked so good he could almost taste her. Her brown hair was unruly and her skin was flawless. She was wearing a black halter top, a light blue skirt, and a leather jacket. She looked so different from all the other women in the Federation. It wasn't really a shock that she was a popular girl among his fellow wrestlers.
"Time to go home," Jeff told himself, going to get Dallas and take her back to the hotel.
Several hours later, Meredith and Matt arrived back at the hotel. They had gone miniature golfing after dinner. Matt hadn't had so much fun in a long time. Meredith was so down to earth. She never made him feel like some star. She valued him as a friend.
"I had a really great time," Meredith said shyly. She brushed a strand of her honey blonde hair away from her face.
"Me too," Matt said. "We need to do this again...and again and so on."
"Okay," Meredith said. "I'd really love that."
"Great," Matt said. He leaned in close and lightly touched his lips to hers. Her lips were warm and soft. The kiss was all innocence.
"Good night," Meredith said, smiling.
"Good night," Matt said.
"You want to go for breakfast tomorrow?" Meredith asked.
"That sounds good," Matt answered. "I'll call you when I wake up."
"Not too early," Meredith warned. "Dallas likes to sleep in."
"Okay," Matt said. "Hey Mer?"
"Yeah?" Meredith asked.
Matt pulled her too him for another kiss. It took her breath away. When he pulled away she looked up at him as she tried to catch her breath. He was having trouble breathing too.
"That was great," Meredith said.
"We'll see if we can top it next time," Matt said. "I'll see you in the morning."
"Night Matt," Meredith said again.
Madison, who's date had ended very early, listened as Meredith quietly hummed while she got ready for bed. She picked up the phone and called Jeff.
"What?" a grumpy voice asked.
"Hey babe," Madison said.
"Hey," Jeff replied. "What's up? You need a ride or something?"
"Nah, I've been back for awhile," Madison said. "Kurt has an early work-out tomorrow or something."
"Then why the hell are you calling me at three in the morning?" Jeff asked.
"Is Matt wearing a really silly smile?" Madison asked.
"I don't know," Jeff said. "He was singing."
"Meredith was humming," Madison said. "C'mon. You can say it darlin'."
"You were right," Jeff said. "I'm going back to bed now."
"Night Jeffrey," Madison said. "Sweet dreams."
Jeff groaned as he hung up the phone, knowing exactly who he would dream of.
Matt and Meredith woke up bright and early the next morning, eager to work on perfecting that kiss.
