I was awaken by the phone
ringing on my nightstand. I rolled over and picked up the receiver. "Hello?"
"Hi, is Samantha there?"
"This is Sam."
"Oh, hi Samantha. It's
Jeff."
"Jeff?" How did he get my phone number? "Oh, hi. What's up?"
"Nothing. I was just
thinking about you."
I must still be dreaming, did Jeff Hardy just say
that he was thinking of me? I
grinned from ear to ear. I turned over in my bed and looked out my window. The
sun was shining brightly and I could hear the traffic in the street. "What time
is it?"
"It's about one o'clock in
the afternoon."
"What?! One o'clock?" I
screeched into the phone as I threw the sheets from my body. "Oh my goodness, I'm gonna be late. Jeff,
hun . . . I'm so sorry. I don't mean to be rude, but I have to go. I'm going to
be late for work."
"That's okay, I understand.
How long are you working today?" Jeff inquired. His voice was so sweet, it was
like he was sorry that he had called, knowing that it kept me from getting
ready for work.
"I'm there 2-4 this
afternoon. It's not very long, I just have to go in for a meeting."
"Um, well I was calling to
ask if you would like to come to the Smackdown taping tonight?" Jeff asked me.
"I would really like to see you . . . if you aren't busy." He nervously added.
"I'd like that." I replied.
"Great! I'll leave the
tickets in your name at the Will Call booth. Samantha . . . do you think that
Kelly would be able to come? I'm sure Matt would like to see her too." He
added. I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Yeah, I'm sure she'd like
that just as much. They seemed to really hit it off." I chuckled lightly. All
of a sudden, it was a bit awkward.
"Alright, well I guess I
should let you go. Don't work too hard."
"Yeah, I should get a move
on. I'll see you tonight."
"I can't wait. Bye
Samantha."
My heart was racing. "Bye
Jeff." I waited until I heard Jeff put down the receiver before I hung up my
phone.
I showered, dried off and
dried and styled my hair. I started to apply my makeup and then I called Kelly.
The line rang 2, 3, 4 times. Kelly, pick
up your phone. Where the heck are you?
All of a sudden I heard
Kelly's voice. "Yellow?"
"Kelly! I thought you were
never going to answer the phone."
"Well, hello to you too. I'm
fine, thanks for asking." She retorted sarcastically.
"Sorry, sorry. Hi, how are
you?
"I'm good. What's up? I
thought you had to work."
"I do, I'm just getting
ready. I was calling because I wanted to know if you had plans for tonight."
"No, not yet. James called, I
guess a bunch of people are going down to the bar."
"Oh, well I thought maybe
you might want to go with me to the Smackdown taping."
"How did you get tickets?
They have been sold out for months!" I could hear her jumping around her
apartment.
"I'll explain later, I'm
late for work. Do you want to come with or not?"
"Heck, yeah girl!! Are you
crazy?"
"Alright. I have to work
until four. Why don't you meet me at my house at 4:30? I want to change before
we go."
"Kewl."
"See you later." I hung up
the receiver and put the finishing touches on my makeup. I grabbed my purse and
walked out the door.
A few hours later I met
Kelly at my front door.
"Hey chicky. How was work?"
Kelly inquired.
I put my key into the door,
unlocked and opened the door. "It was okay. The meeting was still going, but I
told them I had to leave. No way I was going to be late for Smackdown. I can't
wait to get out of these clothes."
We walked into my apartment.
"I'll be right back. I'm just going to change real quick." I yelled to Kelly as
I walked down the hallway and she closed the front door.
I flipped through the
clothes in my closet. What to wear? What
to wear? I came across a silver metallic halter-top. Perfect, the Lita look, comfortable and sexy.
I took the halter-top from
the closet and laid it out on my bed. I rummaged through my drawers until I
found my black low-riding cargo pants. I laid them out on the bed with the
halter-top. Now all I need is a black
thong and I'm set. I found the thong I was looking for and changed from the
dress suit that I had been wearing into the outfit I had laid out on my
bed. I sat at my dressing table and let
my hair down. I ran my brush through it quickly. I touched up my makeup and
headed back down the hallway, towards the living room where Kelly was sitting
watching tv.
I walked into the kitchen
and grabbed two bottles of water. On my way back to the living room I picked up
the box of crackers from the counter.
I tossed a bottle of water
to Kelly on the couch. "You ready?" I asked.
Kelly picked up the bottle
of water from the couch and turned her head to look at me. "Hello, Lita. Girl,
you look great! Jeff is going to fall in love with you." She said as she got up
from the couch and we headed out the door.
I locked my door and we
started walking to my car. "Speaking of Jeff, can you explain to me how Jeff
got my phone number?"
"Um, I'm not quite sure."
She seemed to shy away from the question.
"Really. For a minute I
almost thought that you might have given it to him." I said, paying close
attention to her reaction. Kelly didn't say anything. We got into the car and
began the drive to Boston.
After a few minutes, Kelly
turned to me. "Sam, I didn't give your number to Jeff . . . but I did give it
to Matt to pass along to Jeff."
I glanced over at her.
"Whatever possessed you to do that?"
"You and Jeff really seemed
to like each other. And I know you, you so shy. I knew you wouldn't give him
your number. Matt and I were talking about how cute you two were and he
mentioned that Jeff was really shy too. So I gave Matt your phone number to
give to Jeff. He was going to tell Jeff that you slipped it to him because you
were too embarrassed to give it to directly to Jeff. "
"So now he's going to think
I'm the biggest dork in the world, that I can't even give a guy I like my
number."
"I'm
sure he doesn't think you're a dork. Besides, Matt must have told him the truth
by now, they are brothers after all."
