Chapter 54
So the plans went ahead, though the doubts still crept into her mind, usually late at night while she was sitting at the computor. She would suddenly stop & think 'Holy Shit!' But here she was, just a week away from the biggest day of her life, riding the rollercoaster, going with the flow, no going back now.
She was sitting in another hotel room, late one night in Texas after a Smackdown taping, her phone rang.
"Hey gorgeous!"
"Hi Adam!" she smiled.
"Miss you!"
"I miss you too! How's it goin'?"
"Ah y'know...same old crap!" He laughed. "How was the show?"
"Good! Im just typing up my report for Shane." She stretched & lay back on the bed. "Hotel aint bad either!"
"Lucky you! I had to cook my own damn dinner!!"
"Oh poor baby!" she laughed.
"So.......six days away huh? You nervous?"
"A little! Are you?"
"Too right I am! This is more nerve wracking than walking down the ramp infront of 50,000 screaming Edge & Christian fans!!" He laughed.
"Get real! Edge & Christian dont have 50,000 fans!!" She giggled!
"Hey! Cut it out or I might not turn up at the church!!"
"Hahaha try it & you'll see what happens buddy!!"
"Jay is shitting bricks here! If I have to listen to his speach one more time Im gonna strangle him with my bare hands!!"
Gemma laughed.
"Poor Jay! It'll be fine!! Oh & dont forget to be ready for me comming home tomorrow at 5! We're leaving at 7 ok?"
"How can I forget!?"
"You're a guy! It happens!"
"Im going off you!!"
"Yeah right!"
They both laughed.
"OK so I'll see you tomorrow then!"
"Yup! Bye for now!"
"Love you!"
"Love you too Adam!!"
She switched off her phone & finished typing up her report.

Next night she was in her old bed at home. Everyone had been fussing around them since they arrived, but it was good to see a smile on her Dad's face again!
Kellie had been great about organising everything & getting Adam's freinds & relatives reservations at local hotels, Gemma could see she was in her element!
2 Days later everyone started to arrive at the family home. Adam's family, Gemma's family, it was chaos! Adam had decided to take his family out & show them the town but Gemma made an excuse not to go as she longed for the peace & quiet!
At about 9pm she decided to take a walk to Jeff's place as there was a few things she needed to finalise with her chief bridesmaid, Amy! When she got there however, Matt & Amy had decided to go out for the night & Gilbert was over at Gemma's Dad's place, so that left Jeff.
"Needed a break huh?!"
"Something linke that! The place is buzzing!"
Jeff laughed.
"Where's the groom tonight then?"
"Gone to town with the rest of his clan!" She smiled.
"So....this is it then huh?" Jeff said handing her a coffee.
"Guess so! My last couple of days of freedom!" She laughed.
They drank their coffee & decided it would be fun to go watch some old tapes of when they were kids! Gemma hadnt laughed so much in a long time!
"Man I think I'll take these & show them to Shane!!"
"YOU WILL NOT!" Jeff laughed. "If any of the guys at work see these I'll never live it down!"
"Maybe just....that one!" Said Gemma grabbing a tape & running to the door! Jeff tackled her.
"Give it here now Gemma!"
They laughed.
"No way! I want your money or this will air on Smackdown next week!!" She giggled.
Jeff lunged for the tape & they both fell onto his bed laughing.
"Jeff get up! You're squashing me!"
He bounced on her.
"What like this?!"
She screamed.
"Yes! Ok! Ok! Here's the tape! I give in!"
They suddenly stopped, gasping for breath from laughing so much, & looked into each other's eyes.
"Gemma..."
She struggled out from under him.
"I have to go!"
She went to the door & pulled it open just an inch before Jeff's hand reached over the top of her head from behind hr & slamed it shut.
"Not this time." He said.
"Jeff.....wh....what are you doing? I have to go!"
He shook his head & took a step towards her. She stepped back, her back banging against the door. She felt behind her for the door handle but it was no use, Jeff's hand still held the door fimly shut.
"Jeff....dont do this...please! Let me go! Let me ju....."
His hand brushed her cheek & she gulped, breathing deeply. Jeff just shook his head again. He leaned in to kiss her lips but she turned her face away so he lightly kissed her neck. She squeezed her eyes shut & held her breath.
"I love you." He whispered as he kissed her ear.
"JEff.....please...I cant...." She started to cry. "I cant...please stop...!"
She bit on her lip. Deep down she knew she couldnt stop him if she tried. None of her feelings for Jeff had changed, she'd just burried them deep inside. Now they were all crawling their way upwards & outwards & no matter how hard she tried to stop this, she couldnt.
