Later that night, Kayla sat with her friends and family in her living room giving her parents a chance to get to know the wrestlers. She knew that given the chance her parents would grow to love them as much as she did.

Hours later, after her parents had left, Jeff approached her when she went to the kitchen for a drink. "We need to talk."

Kayla turned and met his eyes evenly. "Yeah, we do," she gestured towards the hallway, "Let's go to my room."

When they were alone Jeff turned to Kayla, "I'm just going to cut to the chase here." He lifted his eyes to hers and she could see the regret there, "I'm so sorry for how I've acted, for the way that I've treated you."

"It's okay, Jeff," Kayla told him but Jeff shook his head.

"No it's not okay." Jeff reached out to caress her cheek, "You mean a lot to me Kayla and I let my jealousy put our friendship in jeopardy."

"Oh, Jeff," Kayla sighed taking her hand in his, "I never wanted to you to get hurt. I never meant to fall for Edge. I understand that you were just hurt and that you didn't mean the things you said and did."

"Princess," Jeff replied softly, "I hurt you. I know now that I messed things up on my own. And tonight, after you'd saved me from getting hit with that pipe, I realized that our friendship is more important than any petty jealousies." Jeff looked down and then back up to meet her eyes. "I just need to know one thing, does Edge make you happy?"

"Very happy," Kayla replied sincerely.

"Then I'm happy for you." Jeff told her, "And I wish you two the best." Jeff held out his hand, "Friends?"

Kayla smiled and instead of shaking his hand wrapped her arms around him in a hug. Her life was finally starting to come back together.

Edge looked up as the two returned to the living room and was relieved to see a smile on Kayla's face. She saw him watching her and walked over to him climbing into his lap. "I take it things are okay?" He asked her as she turned her head to look at him.

"Things are great," she assured him.

Later, after Christian, Jericho and Team Xtreme had departed Edge and Kayla sat together in a comfortable silence. Kayla looked up at Edge from her position in his lap. The Intercontinental Champion seemed to be thinking very hard about something. Kayla began to play with is hair. "What is it?" she asked him softly.

"Hmmm?" Edge murmured snapping out of his reverie.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" Kayla asked him again.

"Us." Edge replied looking down at her.

Kayla sat up, "What about us?"

"There's something I want to tell you," Edge began nervously.

Kayla stood up his nervousness making her uneasy. "Is there something wrong?" she asked worriedly.

Edge saw the frightened look on her face and stood as well pulling her against his chest, "No, it's nothing like that." Edge took a deep breath and began absently stroking her hair, "Kayla, I know we haven't known each other that long, but we've been through so much together. And tonight in the ring, it felt so right to fight side by side." Edge caressed her cheek. "I could just sit here with you forever and be content. What I'm trying to say is that I love you."

Kayla's eyes widened and a small smile spread across her lips. "I love you too."

It was Edge's turn to smile, "You do?"

"How could I not?" Kayla asked him moving farther into his arms.

"I love you, Kayla." He told her again taking her chin in his hand. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. She responded eagerly, returning his kiss hungrily. Edge kissed his way down her neck and reached around her to caress her behind. "Let me show you how much I love you, Kayla." He whispered huskily, "Let me make love to you."

Kayla answered him by grabbing his hair and pulled him down to meet her lips again, slipping her tongue into his mouth tasting him. "Make love to me, Edge." She whispered as she stopped to breath.

Edge gathered her into his arms carrying her to his bed where he made love to her long into the night.
