Trish was walking down the hallway. She was headed for the ring as she had a match with Victoria in 5 minutes. She seen Jeff talking on his cell phone pacing back and forth. "Listen I know. But I got to do this my own way, okay." Jeff said. Trish frowned he seemed upset. "Just get off my back I'll take care of it." Jeff said and hung up. "What's wrong Jeff?" Trish said. Jeff turned around. "Just a disagreement about the way a match should go with Glen. No big deal." He said. "Relax Jeff you seem so tense lately. You'll be married soon and you and Shelby can go on a nice long honeymoon and relax." Trish said. "Yea I know." Jeff said. "Are you sure you're alright?" Trish asked. "Yea, just work stress I'll be fine." He said. "Okay then, I'll see you later." Trish said. Jeff leaned against the wall and ran his hand threw his hair. Trish turned back to watch him. He was definitely stressing.
Trish and Shelby sat together on the flight to Denver. "Trish there's something wrong with Jeff." Shelby said. "I seen him at the arena and he was really stressing." Trish said. "I have talked to him. He says its nothing. He won't open up to me. I know there's something wrong." Shelby said. "Don't worry he will tell you when he's ready you know how guys are." Trish said. "I guess." Shelby said still worried. "Every time I ask him what's wrong he either says nothing or he seduces me and we end up having sex, which is good. I mean Jeff is great in bed. But I feel like he is using sex to avoid talking." Shelby said. "Well if you're having great sex there can't be too much wrong." Trish said laughing. "Yea I guess your right." Shelby said.
Shelby went to her and Jeff's room. He had left her a not saying he would see her at the arena tonight. Shelby sighed. She wondered where he was at now. She walked down the hall to Taker's room and knocked on the door. "Hey darling." Taker said when he seen who it was. "Mark can I get a ride with you to the arena tonight?" Shelby asked. "Sure, but don't you have a rental?" he asked. "Yea, but Jeff's got it and he left a note saying he would meet me at the arena so I'm kind of stuck." Shelby said. Taker frowned. Sounded like Jeff was acting like a prick. "Get that look off your face Mark, I mean he knew I could get a ride with you or Trish." Shelby said. Taker didn't say anything. "SO where is he anyway?" Taker asked. "Well…. I don't really know he didn't say." She said looking away from Taker. Taker decided he was going to have a long talk with the boy. He saw that Shelby was upset but trying not to show it. "How about I order us something from room service? You must be hungry?" Taker said. "No thanks. I think I'll just go take a nap or something." Shelby said. Taker picked her up and set her in his room and shut the door. "I aint taking no for a answer." He said. Shelby crossed her arms looking angry. "I said no." She said. "I got some rope in here somewhere. I can always tie you to the chair and feed ya my self." He said staring her down. She stared back at him and all of a sudden she started laughing. "You are bossy as hell." she said still laughing. "Lucky for you you're cooperating, or you would have to see my nasty side." He said smiling. Shelby jumped up in a chair and grabbed his shoulders and put her nose right to his. "I aint scared of you." She said. "Well you should be. I'll put that cute little ass of yours across my knee in a heart beat." Taker said. Shelby swallowed hard. Damn he looked serious. She grinned and threw her arms around his neck and hugged him. "You wouldn't do that Mark, cause I love you." She said pulling back and smiling at him. Taker's heart lurched painfully in his chest. God he wished she meant those words a different way. He tucked a piece of stray hair behind her ear. "Yea well if ya love me quit arguing with me all the time and do like I tell ya." He said gruffly. Shelby smiled. "Yes Mark. Order dinner. I'm starving." She said smiling sweetly. "That's better." He said setting down on the floor. Shelby laughed and flopped on his bed and turned on the TV. She smiled as she watched Mark. He always put her in a happy mood.
Taker walked in the arena with her. "If ya need a ride tonight, let me know." He said. "Okay. And thanks for lunch and the ride and well everything." Shelby said. "Anytime Darlin." Taker said. Shelby went to work. She would find Jeff later.
Shelby was taking a break when her cell rang. It was the caterers for the wedding. She spent the next thirty minutes arguing with them. They had got the menu all wrong and wanted to keep it that way instead of doing what she wanted. She finally got them straightened out and got off the phone. She had a killer headache now. She decided to go find Jeff she had to mail the invitations tomorrow and she wanted him to go over them and make sure they hadn't forgotten anybody. She poped a couple of Advil and took off to look for Jeff.
