Disclaimer: Ok here's the deal. I own a bunch of CD's, DVD's, a few wrestling shirts, Jeff Hardy's autograph (not Jeff Hardy himself...just his autograph), my pets, and all the other worthless shit in my room. All WWE characters are property of Vince McMahon and the WWE, the real people own themselves (unless they sold their souls to Vince), I only own the characters I made up. Now that that's all cleared up...on with the fic!=)

A/N: This may be a little confusing at first, but hopefully you'll catch on.

Marissa woke with jump and sat straight up in bed. She looked around her room in a panic. She saw her chemistry book lying haphazardly on the floor next to her bed.

"What's wrong Riss?" A tired Jeff asked as he leaned on his elbow and looked at her.

"We used protection last night, right?" She asked holding the sheet up to her chest.

"Ummm..." Jeff said pausing momentarily as his attention went to the empty condom wrapper on her bed side table, "yea, we did."

"Oh, thank God it was all a dream." Marissa said leaning her head back on the head board of her bed and closing her eyes.

"What was a dream?" Jeff asked curiously.

"Just a really weird dream I had that freaked me out."

"You wanna talk about it?"

"No." Marissa said quickly shaking her head. "Ummm....don't you have to catch a plane early this morning?"

"Didn't I tell you the other day that they gave me two weekends a month off?" Jeff asked.

"Oh yea, you did. Sorry." She said sinking back down into the covers.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Jeff asked lying next to her.

"Yea I'm fine." She sighed as Jeff put his arms around her.

"Well if you're sure then let's go back to sleep because I'm really tired."

The next morning, after Jeff had left, Marissa went out and got an E.P.T pregnancy test. She paced back in forth in front of the bathroom checking her watch every second waiting for the minute she had to wait to be up. *10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1* She counted down in her head before quickly walking into the bathroom. She picked up the test, took a deep breathe and closed her eyes a second before looking at it.

"Oh thank God." She breathed as she saw only one line. She heard the front door slam and quickly wrapped tissues and toilet paper around the test before tossing it in the garbage.

"Marissa!" She heard Amy call to her from the kitchen.

"I'm coming Aimes!" She yelled back as she walked out of the bathroom and headed towards the kitchen. "What's up?" She asked as she pushed the kitchen door open.

"Just thought I'd let you know that I'm gonna go on the road with Matt for a few days, then." Amy answered as she took a sip of the soda she had in her hand.

"Cool chica." Marissa said going to the refrigerator. "When does the flight leave?" She asked as she took an apple out fridge and took a bite out of it.

"Umm...oh shit I've gotta be at the airport in an hour. I better finish packing." Amy said running out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

Later that afternoon, Marissa headed to Jeff's house out of pure boredom. She had been alone in her and Amy's house for about two hours and she was getting bored of watching Punk'd reruns on MTV and talking to Mason. She figured Jeff would be home either riding on his motocross bike or doing some crazy artistic thing that came into his head. Sure enough when she pulled into his drive way she could see him on a ladder in his backyard working on the huge alumminummy on the top of his studio. She got out of the car and walked around the side of the house. She shielded her eyes from the sun as she looked up at him.

"Hey Hardy Boy!" She yelled up to him. Jeff looked down at her and smiled.

"Hey Riss!" He yelled down as he climbed down the ladder. "What's up?" He asked as he hopped down in front of her.

"I got bored. Mason's not a very good conversation maker." She said with a smile and Jeff laughed a little.

"What happened to Amy?" He asked.

"Oh, she went with Matt for the weekend." She said and Jeff nodded.

"I figured she would. She's been saying for a few months how she wants to spend more time with Matt." Jeff said pulling his wife beater over his head. "Damn it's hot out today." Marissa bit her lip as her eyes traveled down his chest. Jeff noticed this and smirked. "Does something interest you?" He asked and Marissa's eyes shot up to his face. She blushed feverishly. "It's not like you haven't gotten a taste before." He said wiggling his eyebrows at her. The blush left her cheeks and she rolled her eyes.

"I guess I should expect you to have your mind in the gutter."

"Oh you know you like it when my minds in the gutter." He said moving closer to her.

"No way, you're a mess Jeff." She said as he backed her against the wall of his studio. Jeff smirked and shrugged as he put his hands on either side of her head. "Jeff you're covered in mud!" She screeched. Jeff looked down at himself.

"I am aren't I?" He asked before he began kissing her neck. Marissa ran her hands down his chest and around to his back.

"Mmmm...Jeff, what if someone comes?" She moaned out softly as Jeff's lips traveled lower down and began to trace the low cut neck line of her shirt.

"Don't worry about that, everyone's away." He said pressing his body against hers.

"What about your Dad, or the band?" She asked as his lips went back to her neck.

"They're all busy today." He answered before kissing her passionately on the lips. He picked her up and carried her into his house.

Jeff leaned on his elbow and looked at Marissa. She gave him a small smile as she pulled the blankets tighter around her body.

"What?" She asked as he continued to stare at her.

"What was wrong last night?" He asked.

"When?" She asked with a confused look on her face.

"When you woke up, it was as if you didn't know where you were or what was going on."

"Oh, I just had a REALLY freaky dream." Marissa said sitting up.

"Well, what was your dream about?"

"It was just weird."

"Why don't you want to talk about it?"

"It was just...I had a dream that I was pregnant." Marissa said and Jeff nodded.

"That's why the first thing you asked me was if we used protection." He concluded.

"Yea."

"Well...you're umm...not...are you?" He asked a little nervously.

"No, I took an E.P.T this morning it was negative." Jeff let out the breath he had been holding and sighed in relief.

"Thank God." He exclaimed softly. "Was that all your dream was about?" He asked.

"Umm...yea." She lied, not mentioning the fact that they had both confessed their love for one another. Her dream had made her think. Maybe Jeff really did have some kind of feelings like that for her, or maybe it was just a fantasy she so desperately wished to be true.

"Are you sure?" Jeff asked not really believing her.

"Yea, I'm sure." She said running a hand up his chest to try to get him off the subject. Jeff leaned his head back and closed his eyes. Marissa giggled softly as they heard somebody call Jeff from the bottom of the stairs. Jeff quickly opened his eyes and looked at Marissa.

"Umm...get dressed and stay here." He said getting up and quickly getting dressed.

"Jeff!!!!" They could here Gilbert Hardy yell for his son as he started to come up the stairs.

"Coming Dad!" Jeff yelled back as he pulled his shirt over his head. "I'll be rite back." He said as he walked out of his bedroom. Marissa got up and quickly began to get dressed. She looked over at the bed once she finished dressing and quickly neatened it up so it looked like it had not been slept in.

*~Meanwhile~*

"Hi Dad." Jeff said as he met his father at the top of the stairs.

"Where have you been Jeff? I've been calling for the past hour trying to get a hold of you and I got the answering machine every time. What have you been doing?" Gilbert questioned and Jeff gave him a nervous smile.

"I was umm..." Jeff said nervously before being interrupted by his father.

"And wasn't that Marissa's car I saw in your driveway?" He asked and then went onto say what a sweet girl he thought she was.

"Umm Marissa is here because...umm...I was umm...teaching her how to ride a dirt bike and right now she's getting changed in the bathroom." He said saying the last part slightly louder hoping that Marissa was listening at the door and would get the hint. "That's why I didn't hear the phone ringing." Jeff covered up.

"Ok then Jeff...I just came over to see how you were doing son." He answered as Marissa walked out of the bathroom that connected to Jeff's bedroom. "Oh hello Marissa."

"Hi Mr. Hardy. How are you doing?" She asked with a smile.

"I'm fine dear...how are you?"

"I'm doing good."

"Marissa what's that on your neck?" Mr. Hardy asked gesturing toward the side of her neck. Jeff quickly looked at her neck and noticed a small purple mark that he had given her a little earlier. "It looks like a...Oh my goodness Jeffrey Nero Hardy! The two of you aren't even dating!" He yelled at his son. Marissa looked down in shame as her face began to turn a bright shade of red.

"I...umm....we're-"

"Not doing anything like that together." Marissa finished for Jeff softly, looking up at Mr. Hardy. "I umm...I went out last night and had a little too much to drink...and umm...and ended up going home with some guy I met." She said looking down again.

"Oh...well then, I'm sorry for yelling at you Jeff...and I'm sorry for accusing the two of you for something like that. I'll umm...see myself out." Mr. Hardy said turning around and heading back down the stairs. "I'll call you later Jeff." He added before he was out of site.

"Why did you say that?" Jeff asked turning to Marissa once he heard his front door open and close. Marissa looked up at him and sighed softly.

"Well for one I didn't want your Dad mad at you...and Matt and Amy would've probably found out." She answered truthfully, and then she shook her head. "I should've checked myself and made sure I didn't have any visible marks...I usually have a few after we...ya know." She said and Jeff put his arms around her waist pulling her to him.

"I'm sorry about that." He said and she shook her head and laughed softly.

"Don't be sorry, it's not your fault. I should've checked-"

"How about it's neither of our faults and it was just fate?" Jeff suggested cutting her off.

"OK, deal."

The next day Marissa pulled up in front of Shannon and Crystal's house. She got out of the car and walked up the driveway and knocked on the front door. After a few seconds, a cheery Crystal answered the front door.

"Hey Marissa!" She said happily and Marissa smiled.

"Well somebody's happy today." She said with a laugh and Crystal smiled.

"Come on in. You said over the phone that you wanted to talk about something."

"Umm...yea there is." Marissa said as she walked in.

"Well go sit out on the back deck and I'll go get us something to drink." Marissa nodded and headed out to the deck and a few minutes later Crystal appeared with two glasses of lemonade.

"So," She said sitting next to Marissa and handing her one of the glasses, "what's up?"

"Well, I need to get something off my chest and you're the only person who I could think of that I was close to and wouldn't freak out on me." Crystal gave her a smile.

"OK, what happened hunnie?"

"Well, umm...you know how ya'll have been thinking there's something going on between me and Jeff?" Marissa asked and Crystal nodded. "You guys are right, there is something going on between us."

"What's going on?" Crystal asked carefully.

"We've been sleeping together." She answered quietly.

"Oh my God! Really?!" She exclaimed.

"Yea but please don't flip out cause if you tell Amy she'll freak on me and Jeff, if you tell Matt he'll flip on Jeff and I don't know about Shan but you hafta promise me you wont tell him or anyone else." Marissa begged. "Jeff doesn't even know I'm telling you."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, but wow...I'm just a little shocked." Crystal answered.

"Yea but it's kind of weird."

"What's weird?"

"It's just that when we're together and we're alone, we just...if you saw how we acted you would think we were going out. It's not like we're acting, or at least I'm not acting, but its just weird...I don't know." Marissa said putting her head in her hands.

"Ok, how exactly do you guys act like a couple?" Crystal asked with interest.

"Well, we're just different around each other like, I dunno...umm...how about sometimes after we have sex he'll put his arms around me and then we'll just talk about anything that comes to our minds and then fall asleep in each others arms." Marissa said and Crystal nodded.

"Hmmm..." She said in thought, "That does sound a like something me and Shan would do." She answered after a few minutes later. Marissa sighed loudly.

"How did I get myself into this?" She asked shaking her head.

"You don't like what's going on with you and Jeff?"

"Its not that I don't like it it's just-"

"You wish it were more." Crystal finished for her.

"Yea you're right." Marissa admitted softly rubbing a hand over her eyes. "It's just that we're friends with benefits...that's it. It's something that could end tomorrow or even tonight."

"I really don't know how to help you, Riss. The best advice I could give you is to talk to him." Crystal suggested.

"Thanks, Crys, just please don't tell anyone about our little conversation."

"Don't worry, my lips are sealed." She replied with a smile. "But if you don't mind me asking..how did the two of you start this whole thing?"

"Well, it was right after Jeff broke up with Trish six months ago. That was the same week I broke up with CJ.and we were comforting each other and it just happened. Then afterwards we decided that we wanted to just keep doing it.but just have no commitment." Crystal nodded.

"Yea I remember that week. I remember you just moping around.and then the day Jeff came back all he was doing was moping around and then you both seemed a little better the next day." She said and Marissa nodded.

"Yea that night I went over to Jeff's to watch a couple of movies and we started talking bout it and it just happened." Marissa said with a shrug. "Shit, I gotta go do some shopping before the stores close. You wanna come, then maybe we could go get something to eat?" She suggested looking at her watch.

"Yea that sounds like a good idea to me." Crystal answered standing up. "Just let me go get my bag and my keys and I'll meet you out front." She said as they walked into the back door.

"Ok." Marissa said as she headed for the front door.
