Rating: PG13 for all the stuff things are rated PG13 though there is some harsh language. Rating will change to R later when things get too racy.
Summery: Uhm.unexpected turns in events lead to . well . lots of crappy situations. Yeah I know, not too good. But give it a shot. Come on.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. And when I say nothing, I really mean nothing. Hell, my floppy disk was swiped from the school's computer lab. So the superstar's belong to the WWF. It's WWF FOREVER!
TimeLine: really makes no difference.
Distribution: Just ask me.
On with the story already.
"I can't believe she did that!" Christian hollered after the dust cleared. "What in the holy hell."
"Just calm down." Edge said. "I'm sure Jeff just took her for a spin. That is his new bike and all; he's probably just really happy about it and wanted her to have a ride."
All but Christian knew that Edge was bullshitting the entire excuse. But what could he do, tell his brother that Jeff was most likely trying to talk some sense into Lita, or maybe even run away with her. Chris nodded. "Don't worry about it. What is it, six O'clock? Your plane doesn't leave until ten tomorrow morning. They'll be back. He's gonna be Jeff, drive her up the highway a bit then come back."
Christian looked to his friends, throwing his hands into the air. "Wonderful. And what am I supposed to do, huh? Go in there and casually announce that my bride felt the need, on a whim, to drive up the coast with my best man on his new motorcycle?"
Matt grinned, amused at the entire situation. "Something like that. It could be worse though." All looked at him puzzled. He continued. "At least she's riding in style. He could've taken Chris's hunk-of-junk beaten up pick up truck."
"Hey, that pick up may be a piece of crap," Chris said. "But it's gotten us outta a lot of situations before."
Matt grinned. "Pulling my brother on Rollar blades from the back at twenty five miles an hour so he can soar up a ramp and over three parked cars is not an example of a dire situation."
Edge and Chris stifled a laugh thinking back to the memorable event. Christian, however, only glowered and stormed back into the reception. Matt sighed, his humorous attitude now gone. "What does my stupid brother think he's doing?"
Edhe shrugged. "I have no idea."
"Yeah." Chris said. "She may be married, but if anyone can open that woman's eyes..."
"It'd be my brother." Matt finished, fully understanding the situation as well.
"I just hope he brings her back." Edge said.
"I'm sure he will." Matt responded, looking to Chris and Edge. "Right?"
Both men silently shrugged. God, they hoped he'd bring her back.

Lita smiled. "I can't believe you did that." she said, sitting on the grass and playfully slapping his arm.
Jeff smiled, looking out at the sunset. California was beautiful and damned if this wasn't the most beautiful sunset he'd ever seen. After he jumped on the bike and rode off, he'd taken her a good, forty minutes up the highway, pulling off at a gorgeous viewpoint. He didn't care if it was stupid. But now, it felt better then anything he'd ever known. The two of them, sitting in the grass at a cliff that overlooked the sandy beaches; a reddened sky and a beautiful woman - one whose red hair matched that sky - sitting at his side. Oh yeah! This is definitely one of the good days. "You dared me."
"I still didn't think you'd do it." She chuckled.
Jeff lay back onto his arms, staring up at the sky. "Well, hey. I'm just that damn crazy."
"You certainly are." She said, lying back to join him. Her smile faded when she notice a serious expression set onto his. "What's wrong?"
He paused a moment then turned his head to look at her. "You're.You're not mad at me are you?"
Lita shook her head. "Mad? No. Just surprised, that's all. You did sorta drive off with the bride on her wedding day. That's really not something that's usually done."
"Yeah I know." He said with a smile. "But I figured, 'Hey, why not?' Call it a wedding present."
Lita looked back out to the sea. "Wedding present? This I gotta know. How is 'this' my wedding present?"
Jeff looked out to the sun, pointing at the floating sphere. "Just look at that. Isn't it the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?" She nodded and he lowered his arm. "I know you're not much for the material stuff, but you do love nature, natural beauty. And there she is. Untarnished by the hands of man. Just call me the means of transit to the sight."
Lita didn't know what to say. It's almost like he planned this. No, he couldn't have done that. But the view was amazing. She'd never quite seen anything exactly like this, especially on such an occasion. "Thank you, Jeff. But is it really?" His confused look told her to explain. "Is it really the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?"
"Why do you ask?" he questioned, nervously.
"Well, I guess I just wanted to know how special it is to you. You know, if. I don't know what I'm trying to say. Just forget it." Lita bit her lip, lowering her gaze. What was she asking? Why was she so curious all of a sudden?
"Not now. You got me curious. Explain." He said turning onto his side to look her in the eyes.
She refused to look his way, unsure of her own emotions as well as why she was feeling a definite charge in the atmosphere that she shouldn't be feeling. "I also know how you are, what you like. You do have an eye for beauty and the natural. I was just wondering if this means a lot to you too. You know, like it's not just any other sunset. I guess that's what I'm trying to say."
Jeff smiled, lazily, turning her head with his finger to look her in the eye. When he talked to her, he wanted to see her. "Yeah it's an unorthodox present. But I'm an unorthodox kinda guy." He dropped his hand into the grass, brushing over the strands. "It's also spur of the moment. But hey, that's what I live for. The idea came to me as we were driving up the highway. And it does mean something to me. Much more then you could possibly know."
He looked out towards the sun again, mesmerized by the sight. "Beauty and the natural. Two things you don't see too much of today. Like this sunset, or those crashing waves, or the look on a mother holding her child for the first time. That's real. It's beauty. Yeah." He frowned slightly. "But very few people possess this kind of beauty. It's so rare and far to come by. There are those like Mother Theresa, you know, giving it all for the love of their own."
He sighed then looked up at her. "You are too. You're beautiful, to me at least. Physically gorgeous, kind, compassionate, real, intelligent, everything that most people aren't. I guess, that's why I wanted to show you this." He closed his eyes, lying back in his hands again. "Let beauty confront beauty. Even if it's only this once."
The second time in minutes he had her speechless. What could she say to that? And why had he said that? No one's ever said anything like that to her before. No one's ever called her beautiful. She smiled. "Jeff." he squinted, looking up at her. Her eyes glazed with tears. "That was beautiful." And she leaned down, hugging him for all he's worth.
Jeff sat up, returning the hug. The two now sitting, he tightened his grasp around her. She did the same. "No one's ever said anything like that to me before."
"They should have." He responded, all seriousness in his voice.
She tensed slightly at his reply and pulled away to look at him. Her breath caught at the look in his eyes, the raw emotion staring back at her. Realizing his guard had fallen, the Hardy shook his head and looked back out to the sun.
She looked at the sky, then back to him, confused. "Jeff?"
Jeff sighed, quickly changing the subject. "I got a lot of stuff on my mind. That's all."
"Like what?" she asked, noting the change and his shady attitude, but letting it pass despite her questions; hoping that maybe he'd elaborate on his own.
"I dunno. I guess I'm just worried about you."
"Why?"
Jeff looked to the ground, picking individual blades of grass. "I know this is really bad timing and all, but its. well, it's about Jay." She didn't respond so he continued. "I just don't want him hurting you, cuz I don't want to have to kick his ass again." He clenched his teeth. "I should've so taken him down today and if it wasn't for Chris or that look in your."
"Jeff, what the hell are you talking about?"
"He's no good for you." He finally said, looking straight into her eyes. "He never was. But maybe you see something I don't. Like I said, I just don't want you getting hurt." He looked up, watching the last half of the sun creep behind the horizon.
She followed his eyes, watching as well. It startled her when he spoke again. "It's just that I love you, Li. And I couldn't handle it if."
"I know." She answered.
He stood, reaching down to pull her up as well. She willingly accepted his help and he led her to his bike. She stretched a leg over the body, mounting the back. He turned once more, watching the beams completely disappear, then looked back to her, his eyes fixated on her face. "I really don't think you do."
