::Atlanta, Georgia, Royal Rumble night::
'Dear Journal,
It's a few minutes before my match. I'm facing off against Tori for the WWF Women's Title belt. Adam is still Intercontinental Champ. Woohoo! Go Adam! I'm nervous as hell. Nobody knows whose going to win the title. It's up to us. We've decided. But I wont tell you until after the match. I cant wait! Well, I'm up. Toodles!
Marie'
::Women's Title Match::
We circle each other in the ring a few times before going after each other. She's the first to make contact. She slaps me then throws me into the ropes and I bounce off jumping in the air for a clothesline. I get up and pull her by her hair up. Next thing she pushes me into the turnbuckles. She starts throwing punches right and left. Tori rolls me up into a pin. ONE!…………. TWO!………KICK OUT. I get up and push her into the ropes she bounces off and I dropkick her. I go to climb the turnbuckles. I'm up top as she gets up, I jump off and pull off the huricanrana. My turn to get the cover. ONE!……….TWO!….…..KICK OUT. Tori rolls so I'm on the canvas and she's banging my head into the mat. While I lay there holding my head she gets out to get a chair and bring it into the ring. The ref sees her and makes her take it out. Just as the ref moves I go for the spear. I cover her up for the pin. ONE…………..TWO…………….THREE……….!
"The new WWF Women's Champion, Jade!" Lillian announced to the crowd.
While the ref gave me the title to hold I grabbed my side and looked at. The ref raised my hand declaring me the winner of the match. Suddenly the crowd started to get louder. I looked around in confusion. Just then someone turned me around and pulled me into a kiss. It was Jeff. I could tell by the kiss, it was him. He deepen the kiss and I gave in for second. Then I realized that this was wrong. So I pushed him off me and I got out of the ring and walked up the ramp.
::Later that night at a nearby club::
"Here's to the new Women's Champion!" Adam said raising a shot of Tequila in the air.
All of us, Adam, me, Jay, Matt, Amy, Greg (Hurricane), Trish, Tori, Chris Irvine, Shannon, and Andrew, raised our shots and hit each others glasses and drank our shots. We all looked around and laughed. None of them could believe I had won. I told them one day I would become champion and now, here I am.
"Thank you thank you. Thank you Tori, for allowing me to win that title. Thank you everybody for coming out tonight and helping me celebrate my wonderful evening. Thank you Shannon the most, since you knew you didn't have to come, but you still came." I laughed as I hugged him.
Shannon hugged back. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. It's about damn time you won the title. You full well deserve it!"
"Not to ruin the moment or anything like that, but, um, where's Jeff?" Amy asked looking around the table.
"Good question," Matt said.
"I have an even better one," Shannon said. "What was up with that kiss?"
Before answering I bit my bottom lip. "I don't know. I was caught off guard. Did anyone know about it?" I asked.
"No! We were probably just as shocked as you were," Adam laughed.
"She didn't look so shocked. She looked like she enjoyed it," Jay added.
"Shut up! I so didn't. Why do you think I pushed him off me?" I defended myself.
"Why did it take so long?" Chris asked.
"Whatever loser! Shannon, will you dance with me. I love this song and I cant sit still right now," I begged as I tried to get myself out of this situation.
"With pleasure," Shannon smirked.
"Oh no, the pleasure is all mine, see it's not everyday I get to dance with a stud like you," I said.
"And that's why they call me Sensational Shannon," Shannon joked as we left the table.
As we walked onto the dance floor the song had ended and "Hey Baby" by No Doubt came on. Soon enough we found a place on the dance floor and started grinding. Like Adam I could naturally just grind with Shannon. Only Shannon and I are a little bit more sexual when we dance. We're all up invading each other's personal space, hands roaming everywhere. You get the picture. By the way we dance you would think we had the hots for each other and were going to leave that club and go to the hotel and have sex. But that's not how we were. Dancing and having sex are different. Well, if you can tell the difference anyways.
"Marie, tell me the truth, did you really like that kiss?" Shannon yelled so I could hear him.
"In all actuality, Shannon, I did. It's what I've been waiting for since the day we broke up." I yelled back.
"Why don't you give him another chance?" he asked.
"Because he didn't give me one," I answered.
"What if he's willing to now?" he asked.
"I don't know Shannon. I'm just now getting over him. Besides, if he's willing to now, then he will find the nerve to actually talk to me and tell me. Now can we stop talking about Jeff and dance?" I answered his question and I was getting mad, Shannon nodded his head.
We danced for an hour nonstop. No drinks, nothing. I really enjoyed Shannon's company. He was quiet, but yet he always had this strange way of comforting you in his silence. That's what I liked about him. If something went wrong you could go see him and not say a word to each other for two hours and you can leave feeling relieved. Adam and Shannon were the two people I went to most for support during the Jeff thing. Just as Shannon and I were leaving the dance floor to go back to the table the DJ stopped the music.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, someone here has something to say to someone. Sir, the stage is all yours," The DJ said handing the microphone to someone.
"Thank you. Um, god, I don't know how to say this." It was Jeff. I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard his voice. "Marie April Vasquez, will you please just listen to what I have to say."
"Jeff! What are you doing?" I yelled. Soon as I said that a spotlight was on Shannon and myself.
"Marie, just listen to what he has to say. Okay?" Shannon said as he held my hand.
"Fine," I whispered unsure of what I would be hearing from Jeff.
"Thanks Shannon. Marie, when I saw you, I liked you. When I liked you, I kissed you. When I kissed you, I loved you. When I loved you, I lost you. Marie, I'm sorry I did what I did to you. I fucked up royally by leaving you in that parking lot. It took me two months to realize how valuable you are to me. You may not ever forgive me, but I just want you to know, that, that dance we had underneath the stars, the nights we just sat in the yard looking up at the stars, the days we went out and did something crazy, the night you told me you loved me, the night we shared together, the mornings I woke up next to you or knowing you were mine, were what I lived for. You are me, and I am you. Will you forgive me and let me start over?" Jeff said.
I couldn't answer. All I could do was just stare at him in shock. Tears were welling up in my eyes and streaming out. My heart was screaming yes! But my mouth wouldn't let me say it. All I did was nod my yes. Just then the DJ put Tyrese's "Lately" on. Jeff walked to me from the stage and pulled in for a hug and we started to slow dance.
"Lately"
I cant imagine my life without you by my side
This is love baby that I'm feeling
And I'm hoping you're feeling the same way
Things tend to slip my mind
Like how you like to wine and dine baby with romantic candle lights
You mean a lot to me in so many ways
Chorus:
Lately, have I told you I love you
Lately, have I told you you still mean the world to me
Lately, have I told you I love you
I'll be your wishing well
Tell me what you want baby
Don't think twice of our love
I say these things because I love you
But it's hard to explain and I'm hoping that you're feeling the same way
You know that all my feelings are inside and
Verbally I tend to forget how much I L-O-V-E U really means
(Chorus)
Try your hardest to deal, yes I forgot
But you know how I feel, things slip my mind baby that's a fact
Tell me you love me and I'll tell you back
(Chorus till fade)
