Title: She's A McMahon, Damn It! -Chapter 3.

Author: Carly.

Characters: Jeff Hardy and Taylor Edwards.



Taylor was very nervous. She was boarding the plane to go to North Carolina. She had a two-week holiday and Jeff had been given the week off. Over the previous two months, her and Jeff had spoken every night on the phone. Her friends had guessed she had a boyfriend because she had been a lot happier. But she had just hadn't let them know who it was. Three nights ago, he had convinced her to stay with him for the week. Although she was nervous, she was also extremely excited. It would be the first time that she would be spending time with him. Except for watching him on TV, she hadn't seen him as he had had interviews, signings, shows and photo shoots. It might be hypocritical to say that she didn't want to get involved in the WWF yet she was dating someone from the business but she wasn't professionally implicated.

"Is everyone okay?" the flight attendant asked the people at her row. Taylor nodded and went back to her laptop. She was writing the rest of her essay for college so that it was out of the way and she could enjoy herself at Jeff's. Half way through the journey, she was immediately drawn into a conversation between two girls sitting next to her.

"Yeah, apparently Jeff Hardy has a new girlfriend, Taylor or something?" the shorter one said. Taylor listened carefully but tried not to make it obvious. She had specifically asked him not to tell anybody, afraid of one of the McMahon's finding out even though she had changed her last name. Her grandmother knew because they were quite close but only she knew, as well as Amy and Matt. And after speaking to them over the weeks, she knew they wouldn't tell anyone either. Anger rose through her. She had trusted Jeff not to tell anybody but he had betrayed that trust. For the rest of the journey, she tried to forget about it but she just couldn't. Finally, the plane landed and she exited, meeting Jeff at the baggage claim. He enclosed her into a hug as soon as they met.

"It's so good to see you again," he said, releasing her. "Are you okay? You seem distracted."

"I was on the plane and the two girls next to me knew that you a girlfriend and they knew my name, not personally though. I thought you weren't going to tell anybody,"

"Yesterday I was talking to Matt saying that I couldn't wait to see you and whatever and one of the backstage people must've heard me." She hugged him again, relishing the feel of his touch once again. They left the airport after retrieving her bags. On the car home, they talked like old times. They had so much in common it was unbelievable. They soon approached his house and Taylor was becoming more nervous. She was worried about Jeff's friends and family's opinion of her. She had tried her best to look presentable. Eventually, they reached a large white house and Jeff pulled into the drive. They got out and got her bags form the trunk before entering the house. In the living room, sat Amy, Matt, Gilbert, Shannon and Shane. Jeff introduced them all even though she'd already met Matt and Amy. They sat down and talked awhile before everyone cleared off.

"They all seem really nice," Taylor commented as they walked up the stairs.

"Yeah they are. Shane can be a bit wild sometimes though," he laughed. "It's a beautiful day so do you want to go for a swim?" She nodded and grabbed her bag to retrieve her bikini. It was a bold pink and purple striped two-piece with black hearts at the straps. She changed into it and looked in the mirror quickly before grabbing her towel and joining Jeff who was already in the pool. She walked outside and quickly dived in near him. He had had his back turned towards her so he wasn't expecting it and automatically turned around. When Taylor came up to the surface, he pulled her to him. He brushed some loose strands of hair behind her ear then leaned down, capturing her lips in a soft kiss. She tangled her hands in his multi-coloured hair as they floated on the water. They broke away but just held each other for a while before swimming a few laps then disappearing back inside. Taylor had a shower then dried her hair quickly as Jeff went to have a wash. She was pulling on a t-shirt when she felt arms encircle her waist. She leaned against his hard chest and sighed.

"Do you want to go out tonight? I'll show you around the town," he suggested hopefully, as they sat on the bed.

"I'd like that," she replied, leaning in to kiss him.

"Are you okay? You seem sort of distant?"

"It's just…well, I've been hearing rumours about some girl called Mandy but I don't know if it's true."

"I don't even know a Mandy. I'm here with you and that's all that matters. Tell you what…why don't you travel with me next week? I know you don't have college." Taylor was somewhat hesitant to agree but finally accepted his offer. They spent the rest of the day watching TV, cuddled together on the sofa before getting ready to go out. Jeff was wearing cow print pants and a black t-shirt while Taylor was clad in a short black skirt, a tight black top with a shiny turquoise tiger on it and black knee- high boots. Grabbing their jackets, around the streets and he showed her all the best spots. Cameron was quite a small town and everybody knew Jeff, waving to him as they walked past. Eventually, they came across a small river and they sat on the embankment under the stars. Just as they started kissing, they got distracted by her cell ringing. It just happened to be Amanda.

"Hey girl, Professor Thomas wants a word with you when you get back," she informed. "I've got some juicy gossip about him when you get back." Knowing she wasn't going to stop talking, she just hung up and resumed making out with Jeff. She also didn't want anybody from college to find out where she was. She had told them that she was visiting relatives.

"So, why don't you like your friends much?" Jeff questioned.

"It's not that I don't like them but more of the fact that they talk too much," she quipped as he pulled her closer. It was nearing eleven thirty when they decided to go home. She was in the middle of changing when he entered the room and stopped her, pulling to the bed. She dragged him down to lie fully on the bed as they presumed kissing.

"Are you sure you want to? I do love you but we can wait," he asked sensitively.

"Don't worry, I love you. And besides, it's not my first time, mind you." With that said, they finished undressing one another and took their relationship to the next level as he made love to her. A few hours later, they lay in bed, holding one another before drifting off to sleep. They awoke the next morning by Liger pouncing on them. Jeff shoved him off the bed before turning to Taylor and kissing her good morning. It then dawned on her. "Shit Jeff! We didn't use anything last night!"

"Damn, I forgot about protection. Look, we'll go down the pharmacy later and get the morning after pill. It'll be all right," he assured. They intended staying in bed for the rest of the morning but Liger barking widely, caused them to see what the commotion was about, only to find him eager to chase a cat. Jeff let him out then grabbed a bowl of cereal and resting against the counter. Taylor approached him after pulling a baggy t- shirt on. She leaned against him and kissed him softly but when she attempted to leave, his hand snaked around her slim waist and pulled her closer, leaning their foreheads together. They wanted to stay like this forever, just in each other's arms. While positioned together like this, Taylor's mind was searching for a way to travel with him but at the same time, stay out of her family's way for a week. She figured she'd ask Jeff about their usual schedule then work around this. It was going to be the only solutions of not getting caught.
