~*Ring Ring*~
'Nooo... This cant be happening.. I was having a nice dream... Damn the inventions of the freaking phone.' I thought to myself as I rolled over to answer the phone. "Hello," I answered groggily.
"Hey sleepy. Get up. Gotta get ready to go out to the club." a familiar voice said.
"Thanks Jeff. Meet me in the lobby in about an hour and a half." I mumbled.
"Okay. Toodles babe," Jeff replied as he hung up.
I literally rolled out of bed and fell on the floor. I slowly got up and slowly made my way to the bathroom. When I got into the bathroom and turned on the lights I ran straight back out to the phone. Picked up the receiver and dialed Jeff's room number.
"Hey Matt, it's Marie." I said.
"Oh hey, what's up?" Matt responded.
"Nothing. I need you tell Jeff he better just meet me up in my room." I mumbled.
"That bad, eh?" Matt laughed.
"Not a joking matter. I fell asleep with my make up. And well, I have to take a shower now." I explained.
"Okay. Talk to you later." Matt giggled.
As I hung up I turned on my stereo that I brought with me. Before getting in the shower I put in my Reel Big Fish CD. I took a long enough shower just to wash my face and hair. When I got out I put my cotton robe and started drying my hair. Just as I put the blow dryer back on it's hook Jeff walked in.
"Hey Hun," I said walking into the main room.
"Hey babe!" Jeff said giving me a hug.
"Need your opinion on something. What outfit should I wear..."I said pulling out two outfits from the hotel closet.
"Wear that. You'll look great," Jeff laughed pointing at my robe.
"Oh yeah Jeff, I'll wear my robe to the club. Seriously, leopard skin print pants with black tube top with these heels or these leather pants and my red halter top that says 'Devilishly Charming' and the same shoes. Pick," I told Jeff holding the outfits in my hands.
"Hmm, tough decision," Jeff paused, "Wear the leopard pants outfit and put your hair down and crimp it."
"Okily dokily," I said hanging up the other outfit.
We talked about what we were going to do when we get to Albany. I was talking about taking him to go meet my friend Jen when we get there. Just as I finished getting dressed I noticed something was missing.
"Jeff! Toss me that lotion bottle over there," I yelled from the bathroom.
"You mean the bottle with all the glitter in it?" he yelled back.
"Yup," I replied.
We met up with our friends Tori and Greg *Shane Helms* in the lobby. Matt was going to meet up with us in the parking lot of the club. Amy, Chris, and Adam went with Matt in his car. Guess I took to long. When I first joined the Federation Tori had been the biggest bitch to me. But once we had it out in the ring we became somewhat close friends. She's still the biggest bitch I've ever met, but she has a soft side. Sort of.
"Yo Marie, what's up with the escorting Chris to the ring thing?" Tori asked from the backseat of the car.
"Oh Vince wanted to see how the crowd would like it." I answered.
"Turn left at the next stop light right?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, I told you I should've drove Jeff," Greg answered from the seat besides Tori.
"Jeffy, can I please turn on the radio??" I begged.
"Yeah go ahead," Jeff answered.
"Wait. Go back a station Re. I love that song," Tori shouted.
"I do too!" I said in a child like voice.
"What song is it?" Greg asked.
"Truly Madly Deeply," Tori sighed.
"Quick change it before they start to sing," Greg joked.
"Oh shut up Greg," Tori and I said in unison.
"No you!" Greg retorted.
"HEY CHILDREN. Stop bickering, we're here," Jeff yelled.
I turned my head and stuck my tongue out at Jeff.
"You know Re, Dwayne was right," Jeff said.
"How's that?" I asked.
"Your becoming more like a 2 year old everyday," Jeff laughed.
"And proud of it!" I laughed.
"Come on you guys! We've been waiting here for 45 minutes." Matt complained.
"Wah wah wah, go cry me a river Matt," Tori said sarcastically.
Once we got into the club we made sure we had a good table before heading out of the dance floor. Before heading out I ordered myself a Screwdriver *mixture of Vodka and Orange Juice*.
"Re, you said you'd dance with me," Chris reminded me.
"I know. Let me finish this up, then I'll gout there with you." I replied taking a sip of my drink.
"I'll be back in five. You better be done when I come back!" Chris yelled.
~*Across the room*~
"Hey yo Mark, isn't that Marie over there in booth?" Cameron asked.
"Where?" Mark responded quickly.
"Over there, sitting with that chick," Cameron said pointing in my direction.
"Well, I'll be damned. Sure looks like her." Mark started, "Think I should go talk her?"
"Why not? I mean it's not like you guys aren't on speaking terms," Cameron explained.
"Okay. Come with me though, please." Mark pleaded.
Cameron let out a faint sigh, "Fine!"
~*Back at Marie's Table*~
"Like I was saying, you and Jeff should definitely get together," Amy continued with our conversation as Tori joined us.
"Oh shut up," Tori interrupted, "She doesn't have to do anything with him she doesn't want to. Besides, they're just friends."
"You know Tori, your such a bitch. You just don't know when to stay out of a conversation do you?" Amy yelled.
"Both of you shut it. Tori is right. And I'm not looking for a relationship.... yet." I yelled.
"Well, well, well, if it ain't little Piglet," a mans voice said.
"Excuse me?" Tori said jumping from her seat.
"Sit, Tori, Sit. It's just my old high school buddy Mark," I said trying to calm her down,
"What are you doing in Pittsburgh?"
"I was just going to ask you that. I moved here about a year ago. Now what about you?" Mark asked.
"Oh just passing through on business." I smirked.
"Oh, hey, you still trying to become a wrestler?" Mark asked.
"Oh My God!" Amy yelled spitting out her drink, "you don't know?"
"Obviously not. Mark dude, she's only one of the best WWF Divas. Next to me of course!" Tori laughed.
We talked for awhile and exchanged numbers and email addresses. It's been so long since I had actually talked to him. We were dating before I left, but never really had anything going. At one point I thought I was in love with him. I guess we just grew apart.
"Yo Re, come on, you owe me that dance," Chris called from behind Mark.
"One minute!" I yelled, "Well Mark, it was nice seeing you email me sometime."
When me and Chris got out to the dance floor 112's Peaches and Cream came on. We started dancing slow and gradually worked our way into grinding. I stayed out on the dance floor for a good hour. When I got back to the table Matt and Jeff had been talking and stopped suddenly when I came up. Didn't bother me much. Yet, anyways. I ordered myself a shot of Tequila before going back out.
"Hey Marie, I'm going to head back to the hotel, wanna come?" Jeff asked sounding a little concerned.
"Um, I promised Adam a dance. Can you wait?" I answered.
"Yeah. I'll be right here," Jeff sighed.
Just as I was getting up to go look for Adam he walked up. As we were making our way onto the dance floor "What's Your Fantasy" came on. Whenever Adam and I danced together we were in our own world. Our bodies just naturally went into that grinding stage. No need to flow into it.
"Matt, why cant she just dance like that with me?" Jeff sighed.
"You mean up all over you when she's drunk like that?" Matt asked sarcastically.
"Not when she's drunk. I should take her back to the hotel, huh?" Jeff suggested.
"Yeah. Wait till her and Adam come back, or else she'll bitch at you the entire way back." Matt explained.
Jeff didn't hear what Matt said, he had gone off into a daze. Staring at how I was dancing with Adam. He didn't even realize Greg had joined them and was trying to talk to Jeff.
"Boy Jeff, you've got it bad," Matt said smacking Jeff on his forehead.
"Shit, what was that for?" Jeff yelled.
"What does Jeff have?" Greg asked.
"A thing for Marie," Matt responded.
"What?!" Greg said stupidly.
"Jesus Matt, cant you keep your mouth shut?" Jeff yelled.
"What'd you do now?" I slurred as I walked up to the table with Adams arm wrapped around my hip.
"Oh nothing. I think it's time to go now. Jeff will take you back." Matt answered quickly.
"Okily dokily. Jeff, can you give me a piggy back ride?" I asked giving him a big hug and my puppy dog eyes.
Jeff let out a loud sigh and said, "Fine. Jump on."
"You know, have I told you how much I love you?" I whispered into his ear.
"I'm sure it's just the alcohol talking," Jeff stated as we walked to the car.
"Why Jeff Hardy are you saying I'm drunk?" I gasped.
"You said it not me," Jeff laughed.
"You know if I could just see straight I'd smack you for that comment," I slurred as Jeff put me in the backseat of the car to lay me down.
We didn't talk much on the way to the hotel cause I was just near passing out. I remember feeling the car come to a stop when we came to a stop light. I must've fell asleep on the way to the hotel because I didn't even realize we had gotten there until Jeff woke me up. I could barely walk so Jeff had to carry me into the hotel. We got a couple of stares from the people at the counter from what I could tell. Jeff asked me to pull out my hotel card key for him to open up the door when we were in the elevator.. I did as told cause I was tired and very drunk. When we got to my room Jeff laid me on my bed and stayed for a little while before getting up to leave.
"Wait Jeff," I mumbled.
"Yeah, what do you need?" Jeff replied.
"Stay with me tonight. Please." I asked.
"Umm," he paused, "okay, I'll just sleep on the floor."
"No, sleep up here with me." I yawned.
As Jeff climbed in the bed I could tell he was trying to keep his distance.
"Jeff, what are you doing?? Come closer.." I whined.
"How's this?" Jeff asked sounding self conscious.
"Okay I guess," I replied.
Before dozing off I turned around and scooted towards Jeff more. I buried my head in his chest and said good night.
