"So what do you think Rory? Will you be my girl?"
Aurora could sense the nervousness coming off on Matt right at that moment, and she knew he had a whole lot riding on her answer. Looking into his brown eyes, she knew she wouldn't say no to him. She wanted to be his girlfriend more then anything. That was what she had planned on after their first meeting, and she couldn't get him out of her system. But now thinking on it, she added a new element into their relationship by going against him for the belt. He had no idea she'd asked for it, and wouldn't know until the following week when the pay per view meeting and cards were announced. Could she date him knowing that in less then three weeks she would be going against him in the ring? And a better question would he do it?
"Matt I don't know what to say."
"Just say you'll be my girlfriend, it's just that easy. You make me happy, and sitting here with you tonight, with or without the wine, well I got to know things about you that I didn't before and it's made me realize what a real ass I've been towards you. I think if we try, this could work."
"You sound so sure."
"That's because it's a sure thing for me baby."
"What if something happens, we get together I mean, and then something comes up with our careers. How would you handle that?"
"Nothing could possibly piss me off that much that it would end things Aurora. Unless of course you wanted to sleep with Brock for real or something. Which you don't right?" Matt asked raising his eyebrow lightly and looking seriously at her.
"The thought never entered my mind actually. If you're so sure this can work, then so am I Matt. So yes I will be your girlfriend."
Jumping up for the table he pulled her to her feet and smiled brightly. It was the first time she'd ever seen him smile so big and it just made her heart explode in her chest right there. She really did want to be his girlfriend, and match or no match, they would get through this together. She could just feel it.
When he brought his lips to hers she wasn't too taken aback. She knew it was coming and the thought of the two of them being closer then ever was making her really happy. It felt so good to have him this close to her, his hands pressed into her back and his lips on hers exploring. She never wanted to wake up if this was indeed a dream.
"So princess, what do you want to do now? Your wish is my command." He said with a laugh as he pulled his lips from hers and gazed at her across the table.
"I just want to go home with you Matt, can you do that for me? Just take me home."
Grabbing her purse she again stood from the table and started walking towards the door. Matt caught up behind her and put his arms around her and followed her out. If she wanted to go home, he was going to do whatever it took to get her there. He knew he didn't want to leave her side.
*****************
"Excuse me, I don't think I heard you right Rory, you're sitting here telling me you and Matt are dating now?"
"Yeah, is that something foreign to you Jeff?"
"Not foreign, I'm just surprised that you did it that's all. You haven't tried to kill him yet?"
Aurora grabbed the pillow from the couch and smacked Jeff hard in the face with it. He hadn't stopped ribbing her about the relationship since she'd shown up and told him only a few short minutes before. She figured Jeff would be happy to hear it seeing as that meant he didn't have to scheme with Shannon to get them together anymore.
"I would never knowingly kill him. Sure he pisses me off to all hell, but his intentions are good. He doesn't mean to be an ass does he?"
"Um honey, yeah I think he does."
"Oh shut up! You're such an ass sometimes Jeff!"
"Yeah I know, Beth tells me all the time. So what was this important thing you needed to tell me about? It wasn't just the dating Matt thing right?"
"How'd ya guess?"
"Sixth sense. It's a man gene. So what's on your mind?"
"Before Matt asked me to be his girlfriend, feeling pissed off I went to Stephanie and demanded a match with him at the pay per view for the title. I was granted it, but knowing how Matt feels about this business, if I beat him for this belt, it could ruin our new found relationship."
"Have you told him any of this yet?"
"Not one word of it. I'm scared about his reaction Jeff."
"Well he's gonna find out at the meeting tomorrow, and you're gonna hear about it either way. Chances are knowing my brother the way I do, if he hears it from you and you alone, you might get a better reaction then if it was just Stephanie announcing it. Do you know if you're gonna win it or not from him?"
"Not at this point no. I don't know the turnout. I'm just worried about the fallout from it. I really like your brother Jeff, and I don't want this to fuck it up."
"You won't fuck it up Rory. Matt is a hard case to crack, ask Amy she'll tell you all about that. He might get his ego hurt if you have to win it from him, but the match itself I don't think he's going to care much about. He's just not going to know how to wrestle you. I mean you are his girl now, and he can't go all out and murder you in the ring you know?"
"I don't care if he goes full throttle on me Jeff, that's what I want with my career. I don't want him to have to lie down for me and then I win. I want to be a fighter."
"You already are. My advice is simple princess. Just tell him about the match now, before he hears about it through the grapevine and then comes back and does what he did before with you. You don't want that to happen again do you?"
"Not at all."
"So how far have you and my brother gone?" Jeff asked with a smirk and a glint in his eyes.
"Oh don't even go there you sick bastard. I don't kiss and tell. If you want to know, ask Matt, but if he tells you, in that ring in three weeks, I will kill him."
***************
"I called this meeting with all of you today to announce the matches for our upcoming pay per view. Now this is a Smackdown only venture, and it's our first one, and with the status of the show RAW managed with last month, I want to make this one even better. So first I want to announce the title matches that we have booked to date. Changes will be taking place, so be careful on what you hear right now. If there is anything serious I will inform you."
Matt shot a look at Rory, who was sitting in her chair beside him stone, faced. He couldn't figure out why she would be sitting there like that when she had been so happy before. He couldn't get inside her head, but he thought it might have something to do with not being put on the pay per view. He knew she wanted to make herself bigger in the business, but she was new, so she might not get a huge push. He really felt for her.
"The first match of the night is going to be a Cruiserweight title match actually. Matt Hardy will be putting it on the line against one Aurora Rivers. This match is also going to be ruled no DQ, so Matt, don't even think about it this time."
Now Matt understood why she was stone faced towards the entire room. He shot her another look and at that moment she turned to face him. It looked like she was going to cry at any second, and he didn't know at this point how he felt about that. He wanted to tell her it didn't matter, but then again how the hell do you wrestle your girlfriend without someone getting hurt?
Moving over closer to her ear, and trying to listen to the rest of Stephanie's list of matches, he whispered in her ear.
"We need to have a serious talk it seems. Meet me in the locker room after the meeting."
Without a word, she just nodded her head and turned back to what the boss was saying. Matt knew she didn't like it anymore then he did, but at that moment he didn't care. He didn't ask for the match, but he couldn't be sure if she had or not. He just needed to get some answers, and he needed them fast.
****************
A/N: I figured that spot was good enough to end it on. There is always a little bit of conflict with me around the love isn't there? LOL. Bare with me, it's a romance; it always turns out good, so I need all the bad shit right now. It's wonderful! More soon I swear, and please read and review!
