1 Chapter Thirty Six

It was the night before Jeff and Lily's wedding and Lily was staying the night at the apartment with the girls in her old room. The last few months have been quite busy for all couples. Of course Lily and Jeff were organising there wedding which was a lot more work than they thought. But luckily everyone offered to help out as much as possible. This meant however, that Mandy and Matt were spending more and more time together while Mandy and Adam weren't seeing each other nearly enough. Luckily they were seeing each other in training a lot because the 5 of them (Adam, Jay, Mandy, Matt and Jeff) had been having lots of matches against each other. It was leading up to a pay per view event where the winner would win the WWF tag team belts and Mandy as manager and team mate. Shane and Allie had been spending a lot of time together as usual but this time they were organising a birthday bash for Vince. Everything was time well, which meant that Lily and Jeff would be able to attend when they return from their honeymoon.

The girls ordered some take away and made each other all sorts of wonderful cocktails. They sat around talking about all sorts of different things including work and each other's partner. At one stage Matt's name came up and Allie and Lily asked Mandy what was going on between her and Matt. She tried her best to cover up the truth by telling them the normal story ... she loved Adam and that she and Matt were just good friends. She then got up and made herself another cocktail before returning to the conversation.

"So do you know what Jeff has installed for him tonight?" Mandy asked

"No and I really don't think I wasn't to know" Lily replied

"Don't worry they aren't going anything too bad. It actually sounds like a lot of fun." Mandy said with a smirk on her face.

"Why did you have to tell me that? Now I really want to know what his up too" Lily said

"Hey you said you didn't want to know, also I promised I wouldn't tell you." Mandy said

"Let me guess, it was Matt that told you."

"Yeah actually it was. I mean he is Jeff's broth and best man ... and the best man generally organises the bucks night." Mandy said defensively

"Oh yeah we believe you... we all know about your secret love affair with Matt, behind Adam's back" Allie said jokingly

"Hey how..." Many started before getting cut off by Lily,

"She's only joking Mandy. You know how Allie loves to tease"

"Do I ever. She never seems to stop" Mandy said pocking her tongue out in Allie's direction while sighing with relief on the inside.

"So mature Mandy and to think you are the eldest here. It sure doesn't seem it..." Allie said

"What can I say? I'm young at heart." Mandy laughed

The girls continued to have and enjoyable and entertaining night together. At around 2 am they all decided to call it a night as it was going to be a long day.

As Mandy got into bed her mobile rang. She was going to leave it for the message back but thought it might be important so she answered it.

"Hello"

"Hey Mands"

"Matt what a surprise"

"Sorry I know its late but I really want to see you" Matt said

"But Matt I was just about to get into bed."

"Oh please Mands...."

"Where are you?"

"I'm actually out the front of your apartment."

"What?" Mandy said as she walked over to her window. And sure enough there was Matt's car. "Oh my gosh I can see you."

"I can see you also ... so will you come for a drive with me?" Matt asked

"Yeah ok ... just give me a sec because I need to change"

"You look fine to me."

"Yeah but I'm in my PJ's ... I'll be out in a couple of minutes."

"Ok see you soon" Matt said before hanging up.

Lily was feeling really excited about the wedding which was making it really hard for her to seep. She stood at her window and looked at the street below thinking about Jeff and the wedding. Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Mandy get into a car. Lily's first thought was that it was Adam, however, the person Mandy was kissing didn't seem to have blonde hair. It wasn't until the car drove away that Lily discovered the driver's identity. She saw the cars number plate which was M HARDY.

As Matt was driving Mandy turned to him and asked,

"So where are we going?"

"Well I thought I'd take you back to my place but if you don't want to we could just drive around for a while or something..."

"No that sounds fine to me. Just so long as I'm back at the apartment before the girls wake up"

"Ok will do" Matt said putting his hand on Mandy's knee

"I'm surprised you guys aren't still partying" Mandy said putting her hand on top of Matt's.

"Jeffy boy wanted to have an early night. Probably so he has enough energy for the honeymoon." Matt joked

"I think secretly that's why Lily called it a night. Mind you knowing Lily she won't get any sleep from nerves."

When Mandy returned home she found Lily sitting at the kitchen table and said,

"Morning Lily" Lily didn't look up from the table. She just sat sipping her coffee.

"Lily is everything ok?"

"I should be asking you the same question ... oh and by the way, where have you been?"

"I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk."

"Mandy don't lie, I know ... I know that Matt came and picked you up and that you've been with him. Why Mandy? Why?"

"But how..."

"I saw you get into his car ... and ... and kiss him," Lily said still shocked by what she had seen

"You haven't told anyone have you?"

"No but Mandy how did this happen?"

"You know when Matt drove me home from your place and I was really drunk?"

"Yeah..."

"You see Matt ended up having to carry me up here and in to my room because I wasn't able to walk very well." Mandy paused for a minute to compose herself, "He tripped on something and we kissed. The next thing I remember is waking up beside him ... naked"

"Oh my gosh Mandy, Have you told Adam?"

"No and I don't know if I can. It would kill him... I just don't know what to do... my life is a total mess at the moment." Mandy said before breaking down and crying

"Oh Mandy I really hate seeing you like this. Is there anything I can do?" Lily asked handing Mandy some tissues before putting her arm around her shoulder. Mandy wiped her eyes and looked up,

"Can you promise not to tell anyone about all of this..." Mandy said still upset

"I promise... why don't you go and put some water on your face and freshen up?"

"Ok Lily thanks... I'm really sorry for all of this, it's not exactly what you want on your wedding day."

"Don't worry about it. Just promise you'll stay away from Matt today... as much as possible."

"I promise Lily. I would never want to do anything to ruin your wedding."

"That's good ... just remember ... ok?"

"Ok" Mandy said before walking off to the bathroom to freshen up.
