When they reached the Hardy's Penthouse Jeff carried Kayla inside and
settled her on his bed. Missing the warmth and comfort of his arms Kayla
awoke confused. "Where . . .?"
"It's okay." Jeff reassured her. "We're right here."
Kayla looked past Jeff to see Matt carrying in extra pillows. "Thank you." She said as Matt set them under her head and Jeff tucked the blankets around her.
"No problem." Matt assured her. "Get some more rest. We'll wake you when Lita gets here with the pain killers the doc prescribed."
"You guys really don't have to do this." Kayla told them again fighting to keep her eyes open. "I really would be fine on my own."
"Sure you would, Kayla." Matt agreed with gentle sarcasm.
"Looking after you just makes us feel better about the whole thing." Jeff chimed in knowing that Kayla was already half asleep.
"Oh, okay." She murmured as she settled back against the bed. "Nighty nite." Seconds later she was out for the count.
Matt lead his brother from the room and started laughing once he was out of earshot. "She sure is cute enough, Jeff." Matt smiled at his brother knowingly, "Of course I think you already noticed that."
"Yeah she's cute I guess." Jeff shrugged.
Matt merely smiled and walked off towards his room. "Let me know when Lita gets here."
Jeff stared after his brother and sighing in defeat plopped down onto the couch. He was still there when Lita arrived bearing clothes and the prescriptions the doctor had order. "Hey, Jeff." Lita greeted them as she dropped the bags on the floor. The red head laughed when Jeff jumped about six feet into the air. "Easy, Jeff!" she put a hand on her hip, "You were a million miles away."
Jeff smiled sheepishly. "I was just thinking." Before she could ask about what, he climbed to his feet. "Did you get Kayla's medicine?"
"Yeah." She tossed him a paper bag. "She sleeping?" Jeff nodded tearing open the bag. "Where's Matt?"
"In his room." Jeff replied. "Hey Matt!" he yelled, "Lita's here!"
"Shut up, you moron!" Lita hushed him, "You'll wake her up!"
"Not as out of it as she is." Matt informed her as he walked into the room planting a kiss on her lips. "Hey, Beautiful."
Jeff rolled his eyes good-naturedly and turned towards his bedroom. "I'm just going to go see how Kayla's doing." He wasn't at all surprised when neither of them answered him.
Jeff walked into his room and stopped a foot from his bed. Hesitantly, he sat next to the sleeping girl and reaching out he gently tucked a strand of red hair behind her ear. "Time to wake up, Princess."
Kayla stirred and slowly her eyes fluttered open, a second later those emerald pools settled on Jeff. "Hey." She whispered groggily.
"How are you feeling?" Jeff asked tipping her face so that he could examine her pupils.
"A little better." Kayla assured him finally starting to wake up.
"Lita's back with your medicine and some clothes for you." Jeff handed her the bag of meds. "Hold on and I'll get you some water." Jeff stood and returned a couple minutes later with the water.
After Kayla had taken the pills she swung her feet to the floor.
"What are you doing?" Jeff asked her.
"I'm getting out of bed, what's it look like I'm doing?" Kayla replied slowly. She raised her hand to stop the protest forming on Jeff's lips. "Look, I'll be fine. I just need to get up and stretch my legs."
Jeff hesitated then nodded. "It'll be time to eat soon anyway. I ordered pizza it should be here in a few minutes."
"Cool." Kayla stood and allowed Jeff to put a steadying arm around her waist. Though she'd never admit it, she was definitely a little light headed. Jeff led her into the living room where Lita and Matt were curled up on the couch watching TV.
Lita looked up and smiled at Kayla. "Have a seat, you two."
Kayla sat down next to Lita and Jeff had no choice but sit next to her. Matt looked over at their guest. "Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?"
Kayla shrugged, "Well I'm originally from a small town in western Pennsylvania. I just moved here to New York a couple of weeks ago."
"That has to be a big change," Lita commented.
Kayla smiled and nodded. "Oh yeah. I was actually stumbling around lost when I came upon WWF headquarters. When I saw it I couldn't help but have a look around."
"What about your family?" Jeff asked her.
Kayla's smile faded a bit. "They're back in Pennsylvania."
"You came out here by yourself!" Matt exclaimed, "Why would you come all the way out here by yourself?"
Kayla shrugged and looked down. "I just needed a change. I need to get away from things."
Before the Team Xtreme could ask anymore questions the doorbell rang and she was temporarily off the hook. While they ate Kayla turned the focus to the Hardy's, Lita, and the other WWF stars.
"Edge seemed rather nice." Kayla commented, "Jericho didn't seem that bad even if he did hit me with that chair."
"Edge is cool." Lita agreed, "He's a really sweet guy, Christian's betrayal really hurt him." Then the diva shrugged, "As for Chris, he's not that bad if it wasn't for that ego. He's got a lot of charisma. But his hatred for the Rock makes him do stupid things."
"Speaking of," Matt interjected, "What are we going to do with you when we go to work tomorrow?"
Seeing Kayla's confused face Jeff explained, "We have practice tomorrow. When we're not doing a show we all spar with each other. Gives us a chance to perfect our moves."
"I see." Kayla nodded. "I could just stay here."
"Or," Lita suggested, "You could just go with us. I'm sure Edge or Jericho wouldn't mind showing you around when we're in the ring."
"Edge? Jericho?" Jeff repeated incredulously, "Are you nuts?"
"Why not, Jeff?" Matt challenged, "Edge and Jericho won't mind and like Lita said they're not that bad."
Jeff sighed and nodded. "Good," Lita smiled, "It's settled tomorrow you'll just go with us."
"I'll stay out of trouble, I promise." Kayla assured them. "What could happen?"
They watched TV for the rest of the night and then decided to turn in. Jeff turned to Kayla. "You can use my room, I'll take the couch."
"You don't have to do that I'll be just fine on the couch. It is your house after all." Kayla reminded him.
"And you're a guest in my house, plus you're injured. So you get the bed." Jeff said firmly.
Kayla sighed and gave in. "Okay, if you're sure you don't mind."
"It's no problem, I insist." Jeff reassured her with a grin.
"Well, then goodnight." Kayla began to back towards the bedroom.
"Night." Jeff watched her until his door closed then sighed. What was he getting himself into?
"It's okay." Jeff reassured her. "We're right here."
Kayla looked past Jeff to see Matt carrying in extra pillows. "Thank you." She said as Matt set them under her head and Jeff tucked the blankets around her.
