Chapter 42
A short time later Gemma was heading out of her room when she overheard Amy on the phone. She paused not intending to eavesdrop but she couldnt help herself.
"............weird ever since we got here really.............they were WHAT?.............NO WAY!?................you've got to be fucking kidding me?...........yeah...........wow.........the shit has hit the fan finally..........yeah I know.........well who couldnt see it comming Matt?..."
Gemma froze. somehow someone had seen her & Jeff & now Amy knew too! She had to know! Gemma couldnt think of anything else she could be talking about! she gathered herself together, took a deep breath & stepped into the living room.
"I know but what now? I mean what's Je.......yeah Matt! Look I have to go! Yeah Love you too! Bye!"
"How's Matt?" asked Gemma innocently.
"Oh er....he's just great thanks!"
"oh right."
"Listen Gem I was thinking, we dont start working until the day after tomorrow. What's say you & me have a girls night out & get completely drunk!?"
Gemma eyed Amy suspiciously.
"Er....well I guess so, I just wanna spend some time with Adam before we go anywhere. That ok with you?"
"Sure....well if that's what you really want?"
"Why wouldnt it be?"
"Oh erm....no reason hun! you go...have a good time!"
They said their goodbyes & Gemma went to find Adam. She was walking down the hall when she realised she hadnt even asked him his room number!
"Gemma you ass!" She whispered to herself & leaned against a wall. Now what? She stood there thinking for a few moments when she heard voices.
"Yes well I'll be back in a little while to work out the schedule!"
Shane walked out of a door opposite Gemma.
"Hi! Gemma right?"
"The one & only!
"You look lost! Can I help?"
"Yeah actually Im looking for my friend, Adam Copeland...I dont know which room he's in! Im such a dork!!"
Shane laughed.
"No worries! Follow me & we'll go check the list!"
She followed Shane down into the lobby.
"Oh while I have you here I'll tell you about your first job!" Shane said excitedly! "Well what I mean is I want you to do an interview with someone, we'll check it out & if it's good enough it will go in next months WWF magazine!!"
Gemma's face brightened!
"Wow! Erm...cool! Who do I have to interview?"
"Oh...Vince!"
Gemma stared at Shane in disbelief!
"VINCE?"
"Nah just kidding!" He laughed. "Wouldnt want you to quit on your first day!!"
"oh thank God!! Oh Imean....not that there's anything wrong with your Dad or anything...I just...."
"It's ok!" He grinned! "I know what you mean! Actually you will be interviewing Dwayne! I figured since you two already met it would be a bit less daunting for you!"
"The Rock? You're telling me my first job for the WWF is to interview The Rock?"
"Dwayne's a nice guy! Dont worry I'll tell him not to bite!...room 24!"
"huh?"
"Your friend...he's in room 24!"
"Oh....ok....thanks! She smiled.
"9:30 sharp on Tuesday morning! My office! You have transport right?"
"yes. Ok I'll be there! Well unless I totally freak out before then!!" she laughed. "See ya!"
"Bye! Hey Gemma?!"
She turned around.
"yeah?"
"You have a very pretty smile........use it on Dwayne & it'll be a walk in the park!!" shane laughed & walked away. Gemma blushed!

A few minutes later she found herself alone with Adam in his room. They sat on the couch side by side drinking coffe & talking about nothing in particular. Adam took her cup from her hand & put it beside his on the table.He gently pushed her back on the couch & kissed her.It was a nice kiss! Gemma thought she'd even go as far as saying it was a great kiss! But it didnt compare to the kiss she'd shared with Jeff that morning. She tried to push it to the back of her mind. Adam was great! Adam was gorgeous! Adam was hers, Jeff wasnt, end of story! He put his hand on her breast & she broke the kiss, sitting up.
"Adam Im sorry!"
"what's wrong honey?"
"Nothin.....I guess it's just been a hell of a long day!"
"you sure?"
She took hold of his hands.
"Adam.." She paused "Look Im....well.....I dont want this thing to be based purely on sex y'know?!"
"Hey! hey, no worries! Im so sorry! I didnt mean to push you into anything!"
"No, you didnt push me into anything Adam! It's just I really like you....but.....oh I dunno! im just tired & babbling! Ignore me!"
"I could never ignore you!"
Adam pulled her close & kissed her deeply. then he held her in his arms.
"Im sorry Adam!" She whispered over his shoulder.
"Gemma listen to me." He said looking into her eyes, "I dont want this to be just sex either I swear!" He smiled. "I care about you! im sorry if Im going too fast it's just...well I tend to get a bit carried away sometimes!"
"Adam! You should check out the.........shit! I did it again didnt I?!" said Jay as he bounded into the living room. Gemma laughed.
"Hey Jay! How ya doin?!"
"oh erm...fine thankyou! isnt this building great!!" he grinned & bounced into one of the bedrooms!
"Wow he seems chilled!!"
"See now that's the Jay I know & love!" Said Adam gesturing towards the bedroom door!
"Well I gotta dash before Amy sends the search party out!"
They stood up.
"So I'll see you tomorrow yeah? I mean I havent blown it?"
"Oh Adam!" Gemma laughed. "No you dork! You havent blown it!!"
They had one last kiss then Gemma left.
She was halfway down the corridor when she realised she didnt even know her own room number!!!!
She slapped a hand to her forehead & laughed! Just then Shane came around the corner.
"SHANE!" She called, "I DID IT AGAIN!!"
