Chapter 16

"I'm starving!!" Joei announced as they entered catering "Me too!!" Zoë and Jo added Everyone was gathering round a table about to sit down when Chris Irvine approached with Adam "Hey again" Adam waved at the group and smirked as Zoë went bright red "Where'd all the people come from???" Chris asked "Wibble!" Joei stated as she practically fell into a chair "Excuse me?" Chris looked confused Laughing Tj replied "that's Joei's version of weak knees! She wibbles!" "Erm ok then!" Chris said then winked at Joei who then dropped her head onto the table while her friends laughed, Chris was then introduced to everyone. "You want to find something to eat?" Matt asked Liz as Adam and Chris sat either side of Joei "Yeah sure" Liz and Matt then wondered over to the other side of the room in search of something to eat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You think Ally will be ok by herself?" Siân asked Joei and Jo who were staring at Chris. When they didn't answer Andy said "Don't worry about her Siân she needs this!" "Hey what have I missed here?" Chris said sensing something was going on that he didn't know about. "Oh you haven't heard yet?" Adam grinned "What?" "Jeff found Sally! Only now she's called Allysa and these are her friends!" Adam gestured to Joei, Jo, Zoë, Andy and Tj who were sat at the table with them. "Then why don't you look any happier Jeff?" Chris asked "Because we've just had a run in with Eastside!" Amy stated "Oh that would explain it! So Joei how long are you gonna stare at me before you speak?" Everyone laughed as Joei went bright red and tried to say something but no sound would come out. "That's a start! Keep trying honey!" Chris winked at her again. "I'm gonna check on Ally guys!" Jeff said as he left the table. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So what are you gonna have?" Matt asked Liz as she stared at different foods on display. "Mini doughnuts!" "Well you can't have mini doughnuts without hot fudge sauce!" "Hot fudge sauce and Matt Hardy! Oooh the thoughts!" Matt raised his eyebrows "Oh god!! I said that out loud didn't I?" Liz said while turning crimson as Matt smiled and nodded. "Oh god! I'm so sorry" "Hey don't be sorry! You can't help that I'm so irresistible" Matt stated as he grabbed the doughnuts and the fudge sauce. Liz stared at the floor embarrassed. "Don't go all shy! Its ok you thought out loud that's all! Come on lets eat" Matt took Liz's hand and led her to a table. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ally sat on the floor feeling completely drained, she felt like she had been crying forever. She heard the door open but didn't have enough energy to look up. Jeffs eyes instantly locked on Ally as he entered the room and felt an unusual feeling in his chest, it was then he realised just how deep his feelings were for her! Even though her back was to him he could tell she had been crying and all he wanted to do was take away her pain. Ally knew it was Jeff that had entered the room, somehow she could just sense him. She continued to stare at the floor as Jeff came and knelt in front of her and took her hands in his. "Not as strong as you thought huh?" Ally squeezed his hands gently and answered truthfully "Suddenly feeling a little better" Jeff smiled and kissed her forehead softly "How about now?" Before Ally could answer Jeff had placed his hands on either side of her face. Gently and slowly he placed a kiss on the top of her head, "or now?" then slowly he kissed a trail to her eyelids placing a kiss on each of them "What about now? his thumbs wiped away the remaining tears that were still staining her cheeks and followed the track of his thumbs with his lips "Now?" he smiled at her and softly kissed the tip of her nose. Ally could only look in his eyes as Jeff traced her lips with his fingers and whispered "Let me make you stronger". Jeff leaned towards her and then gave her the most gentle kiss she had ever received, but he was doing what he said, he was making her feel stronger! She could face anything aslong as this man was by her side. But then it hit her! This time tomorrow he wouldn't be!

Chapter 17

"Is she ok?" Matt asked as he glanced in the rearview mirror at Allysa sleeping in Jeffs lap. "Yeah! She's just tired I think" Jeff replied, he hadn't told his brother or Amy about Ally getting upset earlier, by the time they had returned with Allys friends Ally had been relaxed and happy again, no-one could even tell she had been crying! Allys friends had already come to the conclusion that Ally would be staying with Jeff so they had said their goodbyes and left. So now Matt was driving Jeff, Ally and Amy back to the hotel. Once they arrived Matt turned to Jeff. "You ok bro?" "Yeah why shouldn't I be?" "You do realise we're leaving tomorrow don't you?" "Of course I do! I just don't wanna think about it yet!" "Jeff you're gonna have too! You've only got about twelve hours left and most of that you'll both be asleep!" Matt and Amy then left the car and went to their rooms leaving Jeff muttering curses about his brother and his smart mouth while Ally still slept peacefully in his lap.

Allysa woke as Jeff unsuccessfully attempted to get the key card in the door without dropping her. "Would it help if you put me down?" she whispered sleepily "No!" Jeff pouted Ally laughed "Poor baby! But I think it would" she then hopped out of his arms. "I would have managed!" "Uh-huh when you dropped me!" "Never you're just too precious!" Jeff stated as he opened the door Allysa smiled, no-one had ever called her precious before. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So what's going on with you and Liz?" Amy asked Matt while munching on a breadstick. "Nothing is going on! We were just talking" "That all?" "I think she kinda likes me!" Matt mused "Well duh! Give the man a prize he's a genius" Amy threw the remaining part of her breadstick at Matts head. "What? You knew?" "Um everyone does!" "Really? Liz likes me huh?" Matt smiled "Yeah and we all know you like her too!" Amy grinned as she got up and made her way to the door, before she left she turned back to Matt. "So why don't you do something about it?" She left leaving Matt to think about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jeff was sat on the end of the bed in a world of his own when Ally spoke. "Jeff what's wrong? You look sad" "I guess I am sad" "Why?" Ally instantly replied while sitting next to him "Because I have to leave you tomorrow" Allysa rested her head on his shoulder "I know you do" "I don't want to" "I don't want you to either!" "Then come back to Cameron with me!" "What?" "We have four days before we have to go back on the road, come back with me!" "Then I'll have to leave you!" "Just don't think about that part!" "I don't know Jeff!" Jeff sighed "Ok well how about you sleep on it?" "I can do that" Ally smiled Jeff kissed her cheek "You feeling better?" "Yup just a little tired" Allysa said as she stretched "Wanna go to sleep?" "No" "What do you wanna do then?" "This!" Allysa pushed Jeff back on the bed, slowly she crawled up his body and placed small kisses on his neck making a trail to his lips. "Thankyou for today" "It's not a problem sweetheart!" Jeff whispered as he flipped Ally over and continued to kiss her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amy had just finished packing her suitcase and was now laying on her bed thinking about the last few days. Jeff had found Allysa and it looked like everyone would finally get the old happy Jeff back. Amy thought about what he was like after Ally left him at the airport all those months ago, he was devastated! If Amy didn't know better she would say that Jeff was already in love with her then. She then thought about Matt, he was hurt just as much the day Allysa left but by Cammie, he really did like her! Amy knew Matt didn't have deep feelings for her though, Matt just needed somebody. That brought her thoughts to Liz. It was as clear as day that Liz was attracted to Matt and to Amy it was clear the feeling was mutual on Matts part. The only problem was Amy knew neither one of them would do anything about it! Amy planned to talk to Ally to get her to help get Matt and Liz together. That then brought her thoughts back to Allysa. Jeff would be leaving her tomorrow and that would probably lead to Jeff not being happy! So Amy now also planned to convince Allysa to go home with Jeff and then in those four days she would try and convince her to travel with them, she knew that it would be no problem for Allysa to do that. Tj had told her Ally only worked so she had something to do, according to Tj Allysa was rich ten times over just from the money her salon that she part owned with Cammie made. Then her thoughts came to Tj, she liked him, really liked him but she didn't have a clue what to do about it. She wasn't sure if he liked her for her or for the person she was on TV. Amy sighed and rolled over "I think too much" she said to the empty room. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You wanna go to sleep yet?" Jeff asked Allysa who was curled up at the bottom of the bed watching TV. "I'm not tired!" "You are going to go to sleep at some point aren't you?" Jeff raised his eyebrows "Of course I am! You look tired go to sleep I'll be quiet" "You don't need to be quiet I don't mind the noise from television" "Ok" Ally crawled over to Jeff and kissed him softly "Night" "What are you gonna be doing while I'm sleeping?" "Watching the TV and maybe you" Jeff laughed "Ok but I can assure you I'm not very interesting asleep!" "How would know you'll be asleep!" "I'm not gonna argue you'll win" "Too right Mr." Allysa smirked "But I'm only gonna go to sleep on one condition" "And that would be what" "That you come here and let me hold you!" "Well I don't have a problem with that!" Allysa settled down with her back to Jeff and sighed when he wrapped his arms around her. "You make sure you do go to sleep" "I will. Eventually" "If you can't sleep wake me up ok?" Allysa was about to protest but Jeff put his hand over her mouth "Don't argue, wake me if you can't sleep, understand?" Allysa nodded "Good" Jeff kissed her shoulder and pulled the covers round them "Night precious" Allysa smiled he'd called her precious again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I think Tj likes Amy" Siân stated swigging a mouthful of her hot chocolate "Yup I agree" Liz nodded Siân, Zoë and Liz were sat in their living room. Tj and Andy had gone back to their own apartments and Jo and Joei had gone to theirs across the street so the three girls, who were too excited about the current events going on in their lives to sleep, were happily sat discussing the events of their night. "You would! Just so we don't point out how much you like Matt!" Zoë teased "Shut up! You like Adam!" Zoë turned red, Liz was right she did like Adam, but she would never dream of doing anything about it. "Wow! Zoë's speechless! That's new!" Siân remarked "Oh, just because we haven't anything to tease you with! Yet" "You never will! I don't find any of those wrestlers attractive!" "Ah but Siân you haven't met all of them yet!" Liz added "I don't mix business with pleasure" Siân replied with authority. That caused Zoë and Liz to burst into a fit of giggles while Siân looked on confused.

Chapter 18

Allysa groaned as she looked at the clock. 7am. She lay there sleepily wondering why she had to wake up at such awful hours when she didn't have to work. Soon however reality started to come back to her and she relished the feeling of Jeffs arm still hugging her to him. Carefully Allysa maneuvered herself so that she was laying facing Jeff instead of with her back to him. He looked so peaceful she really couldn't believe that he was now in her life. That's when she remembered in a few hours he would be leaving and she didn't like the feeling she got from that thought. Last night she had thought a lot about Jeff asking her to go back to Cameron with him. She wanted to, really wanted to but didn't think she would be able to stand being the one to leave. When things were good with Mark she could just about cope with him leaving to go off traveling somewhere but she couldn't stand it when she was the one that had to leave him and she knew for a fact she would be worse with Jeff. 'I'd probably get hysterical and end up traveling with him' she thought Even that thought appealed to her, she could travel with Jeff if he wanted her too, she only worked so she had something to keep her occupied. The money she was receiving from her salon was enough for her to live on she just hated the thought of sitting around and doing nothing with your life. The only problem she found with her train of thought is that she would miss her friends too much especially Tj! Thinking about Tj, Ally had already decided she was going to play matchmaker. Even though Jeff had told her to let them get themselves together it was too obvious to Ally that Tj and Amy liked each other and she knew for certain that Tj wouldn't do anything about it, he was a chicken when it came to girls! Deciding to think of a way to get them together later she turned her attention back to the sleeping form beside her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matt was pacing in his hotel room. He glanced at his watch. 7.10am. He had been awake for it seemed like hours, he had already packed up his things even though Jeff, Amy and himself were only due to leave at two pm. The only thing he could think about was Amys words to him the night before. He liked Liz but he didn't know what to do about it, he guessed he was afraid of getting burned. "If I'm going this crazy just liking someone how in the world did Jeff manage to cope with not knowing where Ally was" he said out loud. It was no good he couldn't relax. That was when he decided there was only one thing he could do. Go and talk to Liz. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amy was also awake she was thinking about Tj. She couldn't decide if she should go and see him before Matt, Jeff and herself left later. 'Why don't I just take my own damn advice?' she silently berated herself Hopping out of her bed she grabbed what clothes she was going to wear for the day and packed the remaining items that she hadn't packed the night before. Sitting back down on her bed she sighed. She hated that she thought things through too much, sure it was great when she did it for other people but when it came to herself it just sucked because she won't take her own advice. Falling backwards Amy grabbed a pillow and screamed into it. Feeling a little better she decided to go take a shower then she was going to see Tj! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Something was drawing Jeff from his peaceful slumber. There was something itching his nose. Still half asleep he waved his hand about in front of his face when his hand connected with an arm. Allysa smiled as Jeff started to stir 'Awwww sooo cute' she thought. She continued to stroke the bridge of his nose as his hand curled around her wrist. "Wakey Wakey sleepy head" Allysa whispered Jeff smiled sleepily, a minute ago he was ready to happily murder whatever had caused him to be dragged from sleep but now he realised he could certainly get used to waking up like this. Slowly his hand traveled down Allys arm as she continued to caress his nose. Tenderly he trailed his fingertips along to her shoulder, down her side until his hand came to rest on the small of her back he then pulled Ally as close to him as possible. "You know it's not a good idea to wake up a big bad wrestler like myself" Jeff whispered eyes still closed Allysa was now too close to Jeff to torment his nose any longer so she settled for giving his bare shoulder the same treatment. "Big bad wrestler? Where's one of them?" Ally teased Opening one eye and choosing to ignore her comment Jeff said "I mean if they're not morning people you could get into serious trouble!" Jeff then closed his eye. Giggling Allysa replied "I best not wake up any big bad wrestlers then!" As quick as a cat Jeff had rolled Allysa onto her back and was now pinning her to the bed. "You just did!" Jeff grinned down at her Entwining her fingers with his she said "And what do big bad wrestlers do when you wake them up?" Jeff pretended to think which caused Ally to giggle underneath him "Hey quit laughing this is a serious subject we're discussing" Allysa just grinned so Jeff continued "They punish the offending person" Wiggling in an attempt to escape and causing Jeff to grit his teeth she asked "How do they punish them?" Jeff rested his forehead against Allys "Depends on who was woken up and who woke them up" "And in this case?" Jeffs hands slid down her arms and back again, linking his fingers with hers once more he replied "They make a request and then make their prey.." Jeff kissed the tip of her nose "..give in to them" "So what's the request?" Allysa whispered already having an idea what it would be "Come back to Cameron with me!" Smiling, she knew he would say that, she replied "So how do you make me give in?" Leaning down to her right shoulder Jeff placed soft, gentle kisses making a trail along her collarbone, up the left side of her neck to her ear. Placing a gentle lick along the outside of her ear he then whispered into her ear "I kiss you into submission!"
