Shelby waited for the sharp pain to hit her But it was different, yea it still hurt but it wasn't the mind numbing pain it was months ago. Now when she looked at Jeff she felt regret that she had lost a good friend mostly but also relief that she hadn't married him and found out later how he was. "Actually I'm doing really good Jeff. How about you?" Shelby asked. "I'm good. I'm glad to see you. Nobody would tell me where you were." He said. "Jeff it's none of your business where I am anymore." I snapped. "Shelby I need to tell you why I did what I did. When all of this was happening I just couldn't face the fact I was going to have to give you up. I knew I was going to lose our friendship over this. All those times we were making love I didn't fake that. I had true feelings for you Shelby. I still do. I loved to be with you and make love to you; we shared a special bond it's like we were connected. The truth is I didn't want to lose that with you I wanted both of you. I was being selfish." Jeff said. "Yea Jeff you were and you hurt me so bad I felt like dying." Shelby said. "I'm sorry Shelby." Jeff said coming closer to me. Jeff leaned in and kissed Shelby. Shelby let him do it just to see what she felt. He pressed his lips to hers and all of a sudden she started laughing. He pulled back and looked at her. Shelby felt nothing no desire just nothing. She looked at Jeff still smiling. "Jeff I wish you well in your life I really do, but you can't have your cake and eat it too, maybe someday you'll understand that. But baby I am way over you. Have a nice life." She said and turned to walk off and ran straight into Taker. Jeff seen Taker and took off. "I'm proud of ya girl, ya got class ya know that?" he said. "I coming back to work. I'll give my two weeks notice and I'll meet up with you guys." She said smiling. Taker picked her up and held her in front of him. "So that kiss he gave ya didn't do nothing for ya huh?" he asked. "No it was like kissing a puppy." She said laughing. He put his face right in hers. "Well how about trying the big dog, after all it is my yard." He whispered closing in on her lips. Taker moved his lips over her gently flicking his tongue out to taste her sweetness. Shelby moaned and opened her mouth to let him him. He pushed his tongue in her mouth to plunder her warm recesses. Shelby closed her lips around his tongue sucking it into her mouth loving the taste of him. Taker groaned and pressed her head closer to him. He grabbed her bottom lip between his teeth and gently nipped her. Shelby grinned and gently nipped him back. Taker pulled back. "Sassy little girl." He said. "I definitely felt something." She said grinning. Taker smiled and set her down. "You go tell Vince your coming back. I got a match to get ready for." He said. "I'd rather have another kiss." She said. Taker turned her around and pointed her in the other direction. "Vince now." He said. "When ya going to learn to do what I say?" he asked as she just stood there stubbornly. "Never." She said. He turned her back around. "I think I can tame ya darlin." He said. He bent down and kissed her gently teasing her lips with his tongue. He pulled back. "Now if ya want anymore kisses from me today, ya git you ass to moving." He said smiling. Shelby grinned. "Yes sir.' She said laughing. She turned and went in search of Vince.
Trish and Shelby sat in the kitchen. Shelby told her about everything that had happened that day. "Trish gave her a hug. "I'm so glad your coming back. Now I'll have my best friend to hang out with." She said. "So what's up between you and Taker?" Trish said. "I don't know. When he kissed me last night I felt like I had been electrocuted. I'm really attracted to him, but I'm sort of scared too." Shelby said. Trish nodded. "I know that's the way I feel when Brock kisses me. I knew from the first he was the one." Trish said. "Trish I'm scared what if he don't feel the same way. I can't go through another broken heart again. I mean Mark is my friend, if I ever lost that I would die." She said. "You love him, goofy." Trish said laughing. "Huh?" Shelby said. "Girl he's been there for you. You two have been so close even when you and Jeff were together. Wake up. He's the one. Has anyone ever made you feel the way he does?" Trish asked. Shelby shook her head. "What if he doesn't feel the same about me?" Shelby asked. "Girl that man is crazy about you. Don't you see the way he looks at you. He's missed you so much since you been gone. He wonders around like a lost puppy without you." Trish said. "I just don't know if I'm ready for a relationship right now." Shelby said. "He cares about you. He will wait till your ready. Taker won't push you. He's been waiting this long. Girl just take it one day at a time." Trish said. "Okay. Damn girl he kisses so good." Shelby said sighing. Trish laughed. "I don't think he will have to wait long." Trish said.
