Chapter 25
The girls were in their room getting ready for the night's celebrations. Gemma still felt like she was in dream land! she'd had no idea Jeff was going to show Vince her articles & now that she thought about it that was probably a good thing! Had she known she would've begged Jeff not to do it! She never thought she was all that good & never in her wildest dreams had she thought she could impress Vince McMahon! The articles she had written for Omega had been just a hobby, something to add to her portfolio for her college classes! She was still wrapped up in her thoughts when Amy came out of the shower.
"Been quite a day huh?"
Gemma jumped. "Uh..oh yeah for sure! I still cant believe it's happening!"
"It's gonna be so great that we can all work together!" Said Amy, sitting down beside her on the bed & grabbing hold of her hand. "Man it's like a total dream - wold!"
"Yeah! You can say that again!" laughed Gemma.
"So hun.....we never did finish that conversation!"
"What conversation?" Asked Gemma, although she knew fine well what Amy meant.
"Y'know...the other night when Matt interrupted us, you were gonna get something important off your chest....something about Jeff!"
Gemma sighed. "Y'know what Amy? It doesnt matter any more! Really! there's no point to it anyway!" she turned away.
"Aw Gemma come on! I mean I think I know what you were gonna say anyway, I just wanted to hear it from you!"
"Amy it's nothin! just forget about it! So, we gonna get dressed or sit here in robes like old maids all nig...."
"You're in love with him arent you?"
Gemma put her head down. "Im not having this conversation with you Amy, not tonight!!!"
"Gemma look...Im your friend! I wanna help you here! I can see it in your eyes! You're never happier than when you're with Jeff I know it!"
"Yeah? Well he's also the best friend I have in the world & NOTHIING is gonna make me fuck up what we have so just drop it! Whatever feelings I have, or think I have for Jeff will go away......I just need some time!" Gemma walked into the bathroom & shut the door.
"You dont believe that!" Shouted Amy "And another thing...."
"DROP IT AMY!"
"WHATEVER! BUT YOU'RE JUST FOOLING YOURSELF!"
"GET OFF IT AMY!" Amy looked at the closed door & sighed.
"whatever girl!"
"I HEARD THAT!"

Later that evening the four of them ended up in a club with Adam & Jay. Gemma never really felt like partying since her conversation with Amy earlier, but she put on her best 'happy face' & went along with them anyway. The club was loud! It was a favourite haunt of some of the wrestlers & Gemma recognised a few faces as they passed! She was kinda hoping to bump into Rocky again! She hadnt even told the rest of them that she'd met, him with everything else that was going on it had completely slipped her mind!
"Hey gorgeous!" Gemma turned to see Adam smiling at her. "Wanna dance?"
"Hmmm...no not really! Im not in the mood!"
"Wanna go some place quieter?!"
"WHAT!?"
"I SAID WANNA GO.......oh come here!" Adam grabbed her arm & led her into the lobby. "That better?"
"Yeah but I didnt think Id be spending the night partying in a lobby!" laughed Gemma.
"Come with me!" Adam led her up some stairs & into a private lounge, that was luckily empty!
"We cant come in here!"
"Says who?"
"It says PRIVATE on the door!"
"So?"
"So dumbass, we'll get kicked out if anyone finds us!!"
"Well.....we may as well stay here here until we do!"
"You are crazy!"
"We only just met & the woman reads me like a book!" They both laughed. "Come on" Sit down & relax! Tell me about Gemma!"
They sat down & talked for what felt like 5 minutes, when actually it was closer to an hour! Gemma really liked Adam & it seemed they had a lot in common. He made her laugh & she had a really good time talking to him! When she realised the time she stood up.
"The guys will be really pissed if I dont go back down there!"
"You mean Jeff will be pissed!!"
"He's just looking out for me Adam he's my friend!"
"He's hardly left your side all night!Anyway listen Gemma!" Adam held her hand "I just....well there's something Ive been dying to do since the first time I saw you!" He pulled her close to him "I hope you wont hate me for it!" He put his arms around her & gently kissed her lips. They looked at each other & slowly their lips met again, this time more passionately & Gemma felt a shiver run down her spine. Eventually they parted & went downstairs together, hand in hand.
"Where the hell have you been?!" Jeff looked really anoyed! "Ive been looking for you everywhere!"
"Adam & I were just talking! I lost track of the time! Sorry!"
Jeff looked down & saw they were holding hands.
"Oh....er....look...erm....ok. I was just worried." he walked away.
"What IS up with him?" asked Adam.
"Look Adam I'll be right back ok? I just........I wont be long!" Gemma kissed Adam on the cheek & went to follow Jeff.
"Hey!" She said tapping him on the shoulder. Jeff turned around. "What's up with you?!"
"Nothing...oh man I feel like such a jerk! Im sorry for acting like your Dad back there!"
Gemma laughed. "Hey that's ok! It's kinda nice to know you got my back!"
"Y'know Gem...you only just met the guy...I mean you dont know him, just be careful ok?"
"Jeff, Adam is a nice guy trust me! But Im not about to jump into bed with him if thats what you're thinking!!"
"Gem thats not what I meant! I Care about you that's all! Just be careful!"
"OK DAD!!" Gemma stuck her tongue out at Jeff & he laughed!
"Hey if you were my daughter Id put you over my knee & give you a good spanking young lady!!" he laughed.
"Ooooooooh promises promises!!"
Jeff smirked at her. "Dont tempt me!"
Gemma laughed it off but she knew Jeff had meant something! He'd never looked at her like that before & her stomache had flipped!
"Yeah...well....errr....I better get back!" She turned to go but Jeff grabbed her arm.
"What if Im jealous!?" He said looking directly into her eyes.
Gemma gulped. "What if you're drunk!" she yanked her arm out of his grip & went back to Adam.
The girls were in their room getting ready for the night's celebrations. Gemma still felt like she was in dream land! she'd had no idea Jeff was going to show Vince her articles & now that she thought about it that was probably a good thing!
