Part 3: New Loves
------------------------
Shane watched as the brunette left the hotel. She and Hardy looked pretty chummy, with the kiss on the cheek and all.
She was beautiful, in a way not seen in his line of work. She was natural. Her hair was honey brown, long, with bangs falling over her forehead. She had a pretty, elfin looking face, with wide dark blue eyes, a turned up nose, and full pink lips. Her glasses gave her a bookish look, but they made her more appealing, instead of less. Then there was the way she dressed, classic, with a bit of edge to it. A dark blue fitted sweater, with a mid thigh length black skirt. She had on mid-calf high boots with it, showing off sturdy legs. She was shaped like a goddess, with a full bust and wide curvaceous hips. She could look good wearing a paper sack.
"Hey, Boy Wonder," Austin was glaring at him with cool blue eyes. "If ya done staring at the lady, could we get going?"
Shane shook himself, not realizing he'd been that obvious. He struggled to keep a cool outside demeaner. "Let's go," he checked his watch. "We have twenty minutes to get to the arena."
it was a long day of autograph signing and getting pictures taken with fans. Then Jeff recognized a bored looking red head standing in line with a guy who looked like a football player.
He waved her over, and she went to him, looking confused. "You're Noelle, right?" he asked.
"Do I know you?" her reply was cool. She was gorgeous, everything about her was opposite to Shaelin. Long orange-red hair, cat shaped green eyes, aristrocratic features, pale skin dotted with orange freckles. She was tall and slim, wearing a dark green long sleeved sweater, and a long black skirt with sling back heels.
"I met your sister at the bar last night," he told her. "Shaelin?"
Her eyes brightened at the mention of her sister's name. "So she finally decided to give men a chance?"
"Um, not me," he laughed. "We're just friends. I just wanted to meet the famous Noelle in person. Besides, you looked pretty bored in that line."
"Yeah," she rolled her eyes, an action that reminded him of Shaelin. "I went home with Brent last night-and he insisted on coming here before he drove me home."
"So you're not a wrestling fan?" he asked.
"Not really-I mean, I've watched it on occasion, but I'm not the hugest fan," recognition dawned in her green eyes. "You're Jeff Hardy, aren't you?"
He grinned. "I am," he offered his hand. "Nice to meet you." He studied her face. "Do you want to go out for dinner tonight? I invited Shaelin, but I wanted to try to set her up with a friend-we could make it a double date."
"Set Shaelin up with a guy?" Noelle laughed musically. "I'd go just to see that!" Then she regarded Jeff with an obviously heated look. "I'd love to."
"Good, we'll pick you and Shaelin up at six o'clock," he kissed Noelle's hand, knowing she was one who had to be charmed.
She giggled, walking back over to the guy she had been in line with. Jeff watched as she pointed at him, giggled, and walked down towards the street and hailed a cab.
He couldn't believe how different she was from Shaelin. Not only in looks, but in personality as well.
He ran into Shane on the way back to the hotel at four o'clock that afternoon.
"Hey, Shane O'Mac!" Shane turned to see Jeff jogging towards him. He shook his head at the purple and green outfit he had on. Freak, he thought fondly of his friend. Actually, Jeff was one of the few "real" friends he had in the WWF.
"What do you want Rainbow Brite?" he asked in a bored tone.
Jeff did a double take. Shaelin had just called him that this morning. Maybe this was a match made in heaven, after all.
"Well, I have a proposition for you." He began slowly.
"You know I don't swing that way, Jeff," Shane replied, laughing.
Jeff rolled his eyes, folding his arms over his chest. "Not that kind of proposition," he said in an exasperated voice. "A double date-Me and Noelle and you and Noelle's sister."
"You know I don't like blind dates," Shane told him, leading the way into the hotel. "Besides, who's Noelle? What happened with Shaelin?"
"As we told you, Shae and I are only friends," Jeff and Shane entered the elevator, hitting the button for the floor where all the WWF wrestlers were staying. "And, I think you'll like the girl you're being set up with. She's smart-"
"Okay, so what's wrong with her?"
"Nothing's wrong with her."
"You told me she's smart, that means she's fat, ugly or has a really annoying laugh," Shane narrowed his eyes at his friend. "You've done that too many times for me to not figure it out by now."
"If you'd let me finish, I was going to say, she's smart, sexy, artistic and witty," Jeff paused. "And she has a great laugh."
"So why aren't you dating her?"
He shrugged. "I like Noelle better."
"So Noelle is easy?" Shane asked mischeviously.
"Pretty much," Jeff shrugged, exiting the elevator. "I don't want a relationship right now, and you don't want just one night stands. Perfect set up."
Shane sighed. "Fine. What time are we picking them up?"
"Six o'clock," Jeff checked his watch. It was already four thirty. "I'll find a restaurant, you pick a movie."
"Sounds good. I'll meet you in the lobby at five."
