Chapter 3
I drove around for an hour and then finally went home. When I walked in Jess and John were making out on the couch. I crept in my room. A minute later Jessica came in without knocking. "What happened between you and Jeff? He's been calling here non-stop for the last two hours." I told her quickly.
Just when I finished, the phone rang again. " That's probably Jeff. Answer the phone and talk things out with him. Please! So John and I can have some peace." We both laughed and I ran to answer.
"Hello," I answered.
"Jen, ya home. good. Are ya ok? Are ya mad at me?"
"Jeff, calm down. We need to tlak face to face. I know you have a match for the tag belts tonight, so I'll meet you backstage after the match. Go out there and have the best match you've ever had."
"Ok, but just tell me this, did I do something to make ya mad?"
"No. And I want to leave it at that. Now I have to leave so I can make it to the event in time to see you kick Billy and Chuck's behinds for those belts. Good luck and good bye."
"Ok. Bye." We hung up and I left right away. I made it to teh arena just as the Smackdown tapings were starting. I sat thru the show and right after Matt and Jeff won their match I headed for the backstage. The guard stopped me, but Jeff saw me.
"Hey Jen. Bill its ok. She's with me." He said to the guard. The guard let me go and I ran right into Jeff's arms.
"Congratulations baby!" I shouted.
"Thank ya. C'mon. Let's go into the locker room and talk." He led me into his locker room.
"Oh hey Jen." Amy said when I walked in.
"Yo Jen." Matt ran over and gave me a hug.
"Where'd ya take off to?" Amy asked.
"We ran into my father who used to beat me and his new wife. My dad split when I was 12. It was the best thing that could ever happen to me. Three years ago, he reentered my life. Then he asked me to be involved to his wedding to Clare. When I refused, he beat me. So I split. Now whenever I see him I run as far and as fast as I can. Tonight when I saw him I tried to run. He caught up with me. If Jeff hadn't interferred, I probably would have been hit. But I got scared and ran. I'm sorry Jeff. I should have told you before." I started crying about half-way through my explanation. Everyone was quiet for a few minutes. Jeff sat with his arm over my shoulder.
"Wow Jen! I didn't know. I'm really sorry," Amy tried.
"I'm just scared. He isn't usually around. Or at least I don't usually see him. I don't know what he's doing, but its never a good sign when he is around."
"Don't worry Jen. I'll protect ya," Jeff finally spoke.
"You can't protect me. You're on the road half the time and you can't be with me everywhere."
"Come on the road with us," Matt suggested, speaking for the first time since my story.
"I wish I could, but I got school."
"Ya know what ya need? Ya need to get ya mind cleared. Our plane doesn't leave until tomorrow. Let's get a group together and go party tonight," Amy suggested.
"Ok. Matt, Amy, why don't ya two go round up a group to go? I need to talk to Jen alone for a minute," Jeff said.
"Yeah sure bro. No problem," Matt said as he and Amy left.
"Jeff, before you start, I want to thank you. You saved me. I could never thank you enough for that."
"Jen, I saved ya because I think I love you. I realize that ya can't just drop out of school and tour with me. And I can't just leave wrestling because I love it. But I do want to get to know ya better. I have the next two days off and I want to stay at a hotel in Rhode Island and spend as much time with ya as possible."
"I think I'd really enjoy that. And I agree. I think I love you also." We hugged and kissed.
"What'll ya say, wanna go find Matt and Amy and get out of here?" He asked.
"Sure." We went out club hopping. It was Jeff, Matt, Amy, Adam, Shane, Nora, Paul Levesque (HHH), Stephanie McMahon, and I who went. Slowly throughout the night our group decreased. By four am it was just Matt, Amy, Jeff, and I. I looked at my watch.
"Four AM? I got a class at nine. I gotta go. Thanks for the great night. I'll call you after class tomorrow, Jeff and we can get together for lunch. Wait where are you staying?"
"I was gonna stay at the Holiday Inn about ten minutes from ya place."
"No! Come stay with me. Please!"
"Jeff, ya staying? Ya not spending the next two days back in Carolina?" Matt asked.
"No. I decided to stay here. I already talked to dad. He isn't happy, but there is nothing he can do about it. I'm and adult whose in love."
"Really?" Matt, Amy, and I said in unison.
"You love me? You're sure about it?" I asked.
"Yes. I knew for certain when I heard ya tell me about ya father. Ya felt secure enough with me to share. I have never before believed in love at first sight, until I met ya, Jenny."
"Oh that's so sweet. I love ya too." I jumped into his arms.
"Ok this is disgusting. We'll catch ya love birds later. Don't be doing anything I wouldn't Jefferooo," Matt said playfully taping Jeff on the shoulder. Matt and Amy left.
"C'mon Jeff. Let's go get your clothes and head to my place."
We did too. We got back to my house at 4:45am. I showed Jeff into my room and went to the bathroom. Right as I opened the bathroom door, I was face to face with John.
"Ahhh, John? What are you doing here?" He was just in his boxers.
"Jen... Uh...Ah...good night." He took off and went into Jessica's room. I had to laugh because they had a tendency of doing this, having John sleep over, but they usually warned me.
I went back into my room, set the alarm for 7:30 and climbed into bed next to Jeff. It felt so good to be in his arms. When the alarm went off, I had a really hard time waking up. When I did, Jeff had his arms around me and I had to move his arm to get up.
"Jen?" He mumbled.
"Yeah Jeff. I have to get to school. Sleep as late as you want. I'll be home by noon time. Helf yourself to anything in the fridge. I love you." I kissed his cheek.
"Wait! Lay with me five more minutes, please," he mumbled.
"I can't. I gotta take a shouwer and get going. I love you. Get some more rest." I went and toook a shower. When I walked in the kitchen, Jess and John were sitting at the table making out. "Get a room," I joked.
"Hey sleepyhead," John said.
"You look good. What happened?" Jess asked.
"Late night," I snapped.
"With Jeff?" John asked. I nodded. Just as I started teh coffee machine Jeff walked out of the room in only his boxers.
"Jen, I didn't realize this was a sleepover party,"Jess teased.
"Ha Ha funny. Why aren't you sleeping late?" I asked Jeff as he walked up and hugged me from behind.
"I couldn't sleep without ya in my arms."
"Ok. This is gross. I'm gonna go before I loose my breakfast. I'll see you at school. Love you Jessi." He kissed her and left.
"So what time does your plane leave, Jeff?" Jess asked as I poured us each a cop of coffee.
"Friday afternoon."
"Oh really. Where are you staying?"
"He's gonna stay here," I responded.
"Oh!?!?" She asked.
"Yes. Now Jeff are you hungry? I have a litte time if you want me to whip you up a quick breakfast."
"Sure. If ya want to. If not, I could go out and get something at a nearby resturant."
"Don't be silly. Sit down. Relax. I'll make you eggs, bacon, and toast. Actually, can you go put some clothes on so Jess doesn't feel uncomfortable?" I pulled the eggs and bacon out of the fridge.
"Sure. No problem." He went into my room. As soon as he was out of sight, Jessica started scolding me.
"Are you nuts?"
"What?"
"You've known him less than forty-eight hours and you're sleeping with him."
"He stayed here because I didn't think he should have to spend so much time in hotels."
"So it was your idea? What if he turned out to be an axe murder. He coulda killed us in our sleep. Did you ever think of that?"
"Calm down. Relax! Jeff and I are in love."
"Really? What do you know about him besides that he wrestles?"
"A lot. But I don't have time to fill you in. Pass that bread please." Jeff emerged from my room looking even better. "Hey, you look great.
"Thanks. So do ya." The food was done so I put it on a plate and served him.
"Ok honey. Here you go. I have to get going. I'll be home by noon. Help yourself to any food. I'm riding in with Jessica so you can use my car if you want. The keys are in my bedroom on the hook. Bye." I kissed his forehead.
"Thanks baby. I love you."
"I love you too." We blew each other kisses as I walked out the door.
I drove around for an hour and then finally went home. When I walked in Jess and John were making out on the couch. I crept in my room. A minute later Jessica came in without knocking. "What happened between you and Jeff? He's been calling here non-stop for the last two hours." I told her quickly.
