Chapter 12
Gemma was getting ready for the show when the phone rang. She was overjoyed to hear Pat's voice on the other end of the line & even more psyched to find out he was comming home for a week! He wouldnt get there for 2 days but Gemma felt elated! All her troubles of the previous day were forgotten & she quickly telephoned her dad at work to tell him the good news! of course he was as excited as she was! he was secretly more pleased at how Gemma sounded like her old self. He had been worried about her since she came home this time, he'd never seen her so withdrawn & he was happy to hear she'd gotten that enthusiastic bubbly tone back in her voice!
Gemma was on such a high that she was late for the show that night! When she got there it had already started so she didnt bother to make her way to the dressing room, she just went & found her seat! About 10 minutes later macey sat down beside her.
"There you are!"
"Oh yeah sorry! I was running late!"
"Well the guys were pretty worried about you, especially Matt! he thought you'd backed out!"
"Oh they worry too much!" laughed Gemma "I had some good news & lost track of time that's all!"
"Good news?" Macey was shouting now as the crowd was pretty loud!"I'll fill you in later!" Gemma shouted back pointing to her ears! Macey gave her a thumbs up!
The show went really well! Shane had just had a match, which he lost graciously! on his way out he gave Gemma a shy smile & she did the same back. She did feel sad about the short-lived fling she & Shane had & she hoped they could still be friends! She was lost in her thoughts when Matt & Jeff came out to the ring, but quickly realised when Macey gave her a slight nudge! The guy's match was brilliant, one of the best Gemma had seen them pull off! she watched Jeff with great interest, not really concious of doing so. She watched the way he moved, the way he shouted, the way his now blonde hair fell in his face & stuck to the sweat! She just kept thinking 'Do I love you?' They won their match.
Afterwards they were all hanging around having a drink when Jeff pulled Gemma to one side he put his arm around her shoulder.
"See that guy?" he pointed.
"Which one?"
"the guy with the bald head & black jacket...over there!"
"yeah....and?"
"Guess who?" Jeff had a grin on his face like a kid who just found the golden ticket in a Wonka bar!! Gemma laughed at his expression!
"Not a clue Jeff! Who is it?" Jeff paused then said 3 letters that made Gemma catch her breath!
"W..........W.........F!!!"
"You have got to be kidding me! For real?"
"Yup!"
"Jeff!!" Gemma turned to face him now almost hysterical!
"Oh Jesus! Is he watching you guys??!!"
"Well he's been here a few times now, we havent really got the buzz yet as to who he's watching, BUT he was ringside for our match tonight!!"
"No way!!!"
"I know! It's crazy! but we're not gonna get our hopes up y'know - let's just play it cool & see what happens!!"
"Oh Jeff!" Gemma thre her arms around him "Man this could be it!" She giggled with excitement! When she looked over Jeff's shoulder she saw Shane looking at them & she suddenly felt uncomfortable. She quickly let go of Jeff & they went over to talk to the rest of the usual gang. Pat was comming home! A WWF scout at the show! This was turning out to be one hell of a night!
