Chapter 8
I'm going to Miami,
Welcome to Miami.
MIAMI - WILL SMITH
I stepped off the plane just as Sam asked where we were. "Miami," I said. "And how long are we here for?" "Two weeks," Dwayne said from behind us. I knew he was excited to be back home so he could spend more time with his family. We went to get our bags and ended up being surrounded by fans. Sam stood to the side and watched until some guy asked her to sign something. I watched as she signed it and handed it back, smiling cheerily the whole time. I signed one last autograph, then went over to her. "Are you ready to go?" I asked. She nodded and we went to find the rental car. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I went over to the reception in the hotel, where Sam and Nikki were standing. "Can I have our room key please?" I asked. "What's the name sir?" "It's under Hardy and McMahon," I said. The girl typed stuff into her computer, then looked up at me. "I'm sorry sir," she apologized, "But we don't have any rooms booked under that name. We only have a Hardy and Dumas and a Hardy booked." "What's the Hardy booked as?" I asked. "It's for a Mr and Mrs Jeff and Samantha Hardy," the girl replied. I looked at Sam and we started laughing. "That's ours then," I said. *Last time I let Matt book my room.* I thought. "Room 418 sir." I took the key card she held out to me. "Thanks. Sam, honey, I'll take our bags upstairs," I said. " 'Kay. I'll be up in a few minutes, I'm just gonna get Nikki's room sorted," she said. I took the bags up and started to unpack some of my stuff. I was almost finished when I heard Sam calling for me to open the door. I smiled and went over to the door. I looked through the eyehole and saw Sam's blue eye right up on the other side. I opened the door and let her in. "Did ya get the room sorted?" I asked as she flopped down on the bed. "Yeah. She was booked in with Shane - as Mrs McMahon!" she exclaimed. I laughed and sat down beside her. "Boy, was she pissed about that," she said giggling, "Oh yeah, I'm s'posed to ask ya, do you wanna go down to the pool? Everyone else is going." I nodded, "Sure, sounds like fun." "Ok, well I'm gonna change then we can go down." "Cool." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We went down to the pool, and sure enough, everyone was there. Sam lay on a sun lounger listening to music while I dived in. "Hey! Anyone up for some water volleyball?" Chris asked. "Hell yeah!" came the reply. I went and got Sam in the game as well. Matt and me were picked as team captains and everyone was soon picked to join our teams. We had a whale of a time and I didn't realise that anyone was keeping the score until someone shouted that my team had won. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sam and I were on our way up to our room when we saw Shane and Nikki getting back from their date. They went into their room and seemed to be ok, so I guess everything went well. We went to bed as soon as we got in and I'll just say that we didn't go to sleep right away nudge nudge, wink wink. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "So, Shane-o, how'd the date go?" I asked. We were in the Team X-treme locker room, which was unusually quiet. Matt and Amy had the night off and Sam was doing a photo shoot. "Yeah it was okay," he replied vaguely. I sighed. Shane was never this quiet about anything. I didn't think the date would've gone that badly. "That great huh?"
Shane looked up, "No, it was, Jeff, it was great. I'm just thinking about something else that's all." "Ok. So y'all had a good time then yeah?" I asked. He nodded, "Yeah. She is so much fun. Very funny and smart and she's beautiful. We're going out again tonight."
Just then, Sam burst into the room full of excitement. "Hi Shane!" she said, kissing his cheek. "Hey there sis," he replied, giving her a hug. Sam came over and sat next to me. "Hey honey," she said. "Hey baby." "Guess what?" she said. Shane and I looked at her. "What?" we asked. "I'm gonna be on the front of Raw magazine!" "That's great Sammy," Shane said, "Well done."
"Thanks Shaney."
* I know I should be happy for her and I am. So why am I scared of this? * I smiled down at her and kissed the top of her head. She smiled back and cuddled closer into me. Someone knocked at the door. "It's open!" I called. Adam poked his head round the door. "Shane, Vince wants to see ya," he said. "Ok thanks Adam." Shane looked at us, "I'd better go. I'll see y'all later." "Bye Shane," we said. Shane left and Samantha looked up at me. "You ok Jeff?" she asked. I nodded and smiled, "Yeah, I'm fine." She smiled and picked up the script that Shane had left behind. She scanned through the pages and stopped on one. "Hey, look honey! They're putting us in the storyline!" she exclaimed. She handed me the script and I looked over it. "Well by the looks of things, I've got a promo to do," I said.
*** "So Jeff, tonight you face D'Von Dudley for the number one contenders spot for the Intercontinental Title. Your thoughts on this match please?" "Well, Coach. You know how it is-" Samantha McMahon walked past. "Oh, hi Jeff," she said, stopping by him and smiling. "Uh.hey Sam." She leaned forward and put her hand on his arm. "Good luck in your match tonight," she said, "I'll be cheering for ya."
She smiled again and walked away, with Jeff watching her the entire time. ***
"Right, that's us!" Sam came back to where I was standing with Johnothan Coachman. "Sam, that was great," Johnothan said, "We can definitely get something out of this one." I watched as she smiled. "Thanks," she said. I put my arm around her. "Let's go get something to eat," I suggested. "Sure. Bye Coach," she said. "See ya Sam, Jeff." "See ya," I said. We went to the cafeteria and had something to eat. As we were talking Mark Calloway called on us. "Y'all gotta do your second promo," he said. "Thanks Mark," I said.
*** "Sam! Sam!" She stopped and turned to see who was calling on her. "Hey Jeff. What's up?" she asked. "Uh.well y'know tonight, I've got a match against D'Von Dudley for the number 1 contenders spot for the IC title?" She nodded, "Yeah. Listen, good luck with that," she said and started to walk away. "No I mean, well the thing is, he's got Stacy going to ringside with him and I was wondering if you would come with me?" Jeff asked. "Me?" Samantha asked, "You want me to go to ringside with you?" "Well, yeah. If you want to. You don't have to, its just Lita's not here and.well.so, will you?" Samantha smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I'll do it." She waved and walked away. ***
Back at the hotel room.
I won my match so I was feeling pretty pleased with myself, until Sam and I started arguing. "What does it matter what my dad thinks?" she asked, "He isn't in this relationship - we are." "Sam I know but come on, he's my boss! He could fire me for this!" As soon as I'd said it I knew I'd done wrong. Sam looked like I'd just slapped her or something. "You mean.your job is more important to you than I am?" she asked. "I didn't mean it like that," I said. "Yes you did." She looked up at me, "What is this? Have some fun with the boss's daughter then run off at the first sign of trouble?" "No! It's not like that!" "Coulda fooled me!" she yelled. "Hey this ain't my fault!" I shouted. "Like Hell it isn't!"
"This job is my dream! I can't just give it up all 'cause of some stupid girl!" Without saying another word, Samantha left and I proceeded to drink the contents of the mini bar. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next morning I woke to find a mass of blonde hair on the pillow next to me. * Shit! What the Hell have I done?! * The mass rolled over and revealed itself to be Trish Stratus. "Trish!" I exclaimed. She woke with a start and it was then I realised that we were both naked. "Holy shit!" I yelled. I jumped out of the bed and quickly got dressed while Trish did the same. When she came out of the bathroom I was sitting on the edge of the bed with my head in my hands. "Jeff look, we were both drunk," she said, "It was a mistake." "Trish, just go. I need to think." She nodded, "We'll talk later," she said and then she left. I lay back on the bed and tried to think through everything that had happened. Sam and I had an argument. Sam left. I drank the mini bar dry. Amy called saying Sam was staying there for the night. Trish came by looking for Sam. Trish got drunk with me. I slept with Trish. That was when the full realisation of what I had done hit me. I had cheated on Sam. I had betrayed the girl I loved more than anything. God, if only we hadn't been so worried about what her father thought of our relationship. Sam was sure to kill me when she found out about this. Everyone was. * You brought it on yourself, * a little voice said. It was true; I had brought it on myself. If I hadn't said that my job was more important, Sam wouldn't have gotten so pissed off with me. If I hadn't called her a stupid girl, Sam wouldn't have walked out. Now I was faced with a dilemma: to tell Sam, or not to tell Sam?
