Jeff sat there speechless, his mouth open, his eyes wide. He dropped the piece of bread that he was holding. And he sat there at a loss for words. Nothing would come out. He couldn't believe it.

Intense!

"Whoa," something finally coming out. It was the only thing he could think of to say.

Matt put his head in his hands and groaned.

"Whoa!"

"Ok," Matt said irritated, behind his hands. "Got anything else?"

"Stephanie?!" Jeff was still at a loss for words.

Matt nodded.

"Stephanie McMahon?!"

Matt nodded again.

"The Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley?!"

"YES!" Matt yelled, annoyed, loud enough for Jeff to hear, but quiet enough so that everyone else wouldn't hear. His patience was wearing off by the second. How could this have happened? He was supposed to be responsible. Although, how could he have known? He was drunk and when you're drunk, you do stupid things.

"Dude, isn't she like married to Triple H?" Jeff asked innocently.

"Yes," Matt said, his voice breaking. "If he ever finds out, he's going to kill me. Well, it was nice knowing you, Jeff." He threw his head in his hands again.

"Well, Matt, all I can say is, way to go," Jeff said.

Matt sat up dumbfounded. He looked at Jeff like he was crazy, while Jeff was just sitting there eating his bread again and looking at people eating and talking in the restaurant.

"Excuse me? What did you just say?" Matt asked him, shocked. He was supposed to be getting some support from him. Or at least some comments on how he was stupid and going to be fried. Some, "Man you're dead" or "I never expected this out of you" or "You'll get through it. Just break it off gently, tell her that the night was just a one-time thing and never tell anyone. But, if you break her heart, you're screwed." Way to go?!?!

"Yah. I mean, you're finally moving on. You're finally forgetting about Amy, which is something you should have done a long time ago, by the way. You're finally letting go of her and going on your own way and having fun," Jeff explained.

Matt definitely wasn't having fun. "Then, why do I feel like crap," Matt pointed out. "Explain to me that."

"Because, it was Stephanie, of all people," Jeff said bluntly.

Matt let out a frustrated sigh. "Great, Jeff. Thanks. Just what I needed to hear," he said sarcastically.

"Hey, no problem," Jeff said.

"Why do I tell you anything?" Matt said throwing his hands in the air. "I'm in a big mess right now and if certain people find out, especially her husband, I'm gonna get my ass kicked. I was hoping for some advice or something. Anything except for 'way to go'.

"Sorry, you're on your own. Can't help you here," Jeff said.

Matt looked at him with mad astonishment. "Great. This is all your fault, you know. I'll get you back someday."

Jeff just shrugged. "Wait till I tell the guys," he said with excitement.

Matt immediately stiffened. "No," Matt said angrily. He wasn't to be reckoned with right now. "Don't you dare. If you do, I-"

"Tell us what," Jay said coming over to their table with Adam and Chris.

"Matt slept with Stephanie," Jeff said not being able to contain it.

The guys were speechless. They stared at Matt with open mouths. Matt groaned and shrank lower in his seat, giving Jeff a glare.

"Woah," Adam said what everyone was thinking. What was with that word, Matt wondered angrily. "Way to go," he said slapping Matt on the back. Way to go!? Are these people crazy or just stupid?

"What the hell are with you guys?" Matt asked. "This isn't way to go. This is…" And he couldn't finish his sentence, he was so frustrated.

"Chill out," Adam said. "This is big news. You just bagged the bosses' daughter. The billion dollar princess." Adam grinned, flashing his white teeth and chuckled. "Like I said, way to go, chumpstain.

Jay grinned too. "Yah, man. Heinous."

Matt couldn't believe his ears. He wanted to kill himself. But not before he was put in a mental hospital for going crazy and killing every single one of them first.

Chris who hadn't said a thing yet because he was so disgusted shook his head, ashamed. "That disgusting slut?" Chris snorted. "I thought you had more class than that, Matthew. Poor, poor, Matthew. You know, junior, I'm ashamed to be seen with you right now." He then slapped Matt's shoulder, which made him jump. Chris chuckled lightly. "But it's no surprise, considering she has slept with everyone in this entire room, not to mention, the entire world. I'll see you guys later." And with that he left.

"He's just jealous," Jay said looking after him. "But, she surely lives up to her reputation. She really does get around."

Everyone but Matt laughed. He was sulking, glaring at each one, thinking up plots on how to torture them painfully. At least Chris was sane.

"Cheer up Matt," Jeff said. "She'll probably move on to the next guy tonight and forget it ever happened. No one will find out. We won't tell anyone either, right guys?" He said that threateningly looking up at Adam and Jay with a deadly look. They nodded.

Matt sighed. Maybe they were right. He should just forget about it. It was a one-time thing, a mistake. No one would find out what happened.

Suddenly Adam burst out laughing. "Stephanie!" he gasped while holding his stomach. Jay and Jeff broke out into a fit of laughter too. It was too much for them to handle. Who knew Matt, of all people, would have ever ended up with Steph. "Just because she's going to forget, doesn't mean that we're going to let you forget," Adam continued in between laughter. "You're so dead. You're going to be, like, a legend. No, a g-d. Ok, maybe not, but…"

Matt had had enough. He was fuming. He stood up pushing his chair back furiously, slamming his hands on the table. The guys stopped laughing and looked at him with surprise. "That's enough. I can't believe you three. You're supposed to be helping me. Or, I don't know, making me feel better. I feel like crap right now and all you can do is joke. I'm leaving." And with that he stormed out of the restaurant.

"Matt… We didn't mean it… It's just…" Jeff called after him trying to be serious but a hint of a smile still there. Matt didn't listen and as soon as he was gone, they burst out laughing again.

***

By the time it was time to leave the hotel, all the wrestlers were packed and ready to go. Matt was still fuming over the morning and wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. He went to the airport alone thinking about how insensitive his brother and friends were. They didn't understand. He felt guilty. It wasn't like he and Amy were together anymore, so he didn't have to be committed to her. But, he still had feelings for her and felt that he had cheated on her. Maybe he was the crazy one.

At the airport he sat alone away from everybody else who were happily talking to each other. Nobody really took notice of him, which suited Matt fine, except for Jeff who glanced at him a few times. But, he knew to stay away. Matt wanted to be alone. He saw Amy and Eddie absorbed together and it made him feel jealous. Only a few months ago, Amy and Matt were like that. His desire to inflict pain on Eddie returned, but then left. He had to get out of the past, but it was just too hard to do that.

"Hi, Matt," Stephanie said sitting beside him.

Matt groaned in his mind. Just who he wanted to see. Didn't she find another wrestler to work her charms on yet? "Hi," he said slightly harshly. He was in no desire to be near her or to be talking with her. It was kind of mean, but he was feeling mean at the moment. Plus, he didn't want anyone to see him with her, so no one would discover their secret.

"So, how was your morning?" Stephanie asked trying to get him to talk with her. "I missed you." But, Matt was already heading to get on the plane as their flight was called during mid sentence. Stephanie ran to catch up with him.

"Matt, wait up," she said. Matt tried ignoring her as they boarded the plane.

Once on the plane, Stephanie grabbed onto Matt's arm and held onto it. To anyone who saw them, it would look like they were a couple. This wasn't a good scene. They were in view of every wrestler who were looking for their seats. If any one of them happened to look up, they would see the pair as if they were together and would assume that they were or that something had gone on between them. Then rumours would start flying around and Triple H would hear and… That couldn't happen. He hoped nobody had already seen.

Matt tried to brush Stephanie's arm off of his before anyone had a chance to see. Stephanie was caught in surprise and went to put her arm back around his. Matt quickly sat down in a random seat to get away from her. Stephanie looked at him with confusion and was hurt. Eventually she walked down the aisle to her seat disappointed and sad. Why didn't he want to sit with her? Didn't he like her? Surely he didn't think their night was a mistake, did he? She thought it had meant something.

It was only then that Matt realized who was sitting beside the seat he had selectively chosen.

"Hey, Essa," Eddie said grinning at him like a fool. It was almost like Eddie was teasing him. As if saying "I got the girl". Matt couldn't believe his luck. He wanted to take that grin off his face while leaving him with something bloody. He was disgusted and angry with Eddie, with good reason.

"Oh, go shove something up your butt," Matt spat and got out of the seat.

"Hey, chill out man," Eddie said after him. "It was nice talking to you too."

Matt cursed at him in his head as he went to the back of the plane to get a seat. He got one beside Show and sat there in silence, seething, not letting anyone talk to him during the flight. He felt like he could kill the world. This just wasn't his day.

To be continued…..

Hmm, I'm not sure if the first part with the guys made much sense, but I couldn't figure out what to write and how to write it. I've noticed that basically all my writing doesn't make sense. Oh well.

But, I hoped you liked it. Next part will come soon. Possibly more interesting too.
