Raw
"So, when can I see you again?" Matt asked pulling KC in for a brief kiss.
"When do you want to see me?" she grinned.
"Soon. Why don't I stay in town and we can hang out after Raw. That way you can travel with me to SmackDown and spend more time with me" Matt hinted at.
"Well, I wanted to go home tonight but..."
"How about I travel to Dallas with you after my match tomorrow" he offered.
"Would you?" she asked.
"Of course" he said pulling away from her as Jericho and Christian walked by.
"What are you doing here Hardy?" Christian teased.
"Looking for you guys actually" Matt said changing his attitude all of a sudden. "KC, I'll see you later," he said walking off with the guys as she stood there in shock.
"So, should I give you the money now?" Jericho asked pulling the wad of cash out. Matt pressed his hand against it pushing Jericho back a few steps as he looked back to see if KC was gone.
"I haven't won yet!" Matt lied.
"Shannon, Lita, and I saw you two wrestling around in a store in the mall Thursday. You two looked intimate" Jericho chuckled.
"She had no clothes after Shane took off with some girl and left her at my house! I loaned her money to buy an outfit" Matt informed him.
"So, it's still open season on the Ice Queen?" Christian questioned.
"Yes" Matt grumbled.
"Okay then, I'll hold on to this cash a little bit longer" Jericho commented stuffing the money back in his pocket.
"You coming to search for some hot chicks with us tonight?" Christian asked.
"Naw man, I'm heading on to SmackDown" Matt said walking into the dressing room with them.
"Hey Matt, how'd the weekend go?" Shane Helms teased.
"Fine" Matt answered giving him a warning look.
"Say, we need to go taunt Austin before the match. He's already out there in the ring" Jericho laughed following Christian out.
"Shane, don't mention to anyone that KC stayed the weekend with me okay?" Matt begged.
"Why? You regret it already?" Shane asked straddling the bench.
"No, I made a bet with Jericho, Christian, and Shannon" Matt admitted.
"What kind of bet?" Shane asked cautiously.
"Who could bed KC the quickest" Matt replied staring at the TV monitor.
"Shit Matt! You won the bet and now your having doubts because you actually like her?" Shane asked.
"I don't know man! I usually take my time getting emotionally involved with a girl but she's driving me insane" Matt growled holding his head in his hands.
"She hounding you for a commitment already?" Shane shrieked.
"No, that's just it, I don't know if she's in it for the sex or what" Matt groaned.
"So, she may be doing the no strings attached thing?" Shane guessed.
"Probably" Matt uttered.
"Well, ask her what she wants" Shane implied.
"I don't even know what I want Shane" Matt blew out a deep breath.
"Well, it's still early in the ... do I dare say relationship?" Shane asked as Matt nodded.
"Can you take her kissing Jericho tonight?" Shane asked.
"What do you mean?" Matt asked as Shane pointed to the monitor as KC headed out to the ring during Jericho and Christian's match against Test and Scott Steiner.
"She joins up with Jericho and Christian tonight" Shane explained. "There will be a lot of kissing going on for the next few months. She'll dump Jericho in six weeks for Christian during their title match against each other" Shane told him as a slight tightness pulled in Matt's chest. "You won't be jealous will you?" Shane asked as KC kissed Jericho passionately after she helped them win the match.
"No, I can deal with it" Matt answered nodding his head as Jericho pulled her back to him and stared into her eyes and kissed her.
"Give it time homeslice. Oh! Close your eyes!" Shane shouted as Jericho slipped his tongue into her mouth.
"I have no choice but to" Matt sighed balling up his fists.
"By the way, I think these belong to you" Shane grinned handing Matt KC's white lace panties. "I found them but I wouldn't feel right sniff... I mean keeping them" he joked.
"Thanks Shane" Matt laughed as he stuffed the panties into his pocket.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, why have you been distant these past few weeks?" KC asked leaning over Matt's shoulder as he typed a commentary for his website.
"I'm not being distant. I've just been busy doing autograph signings" he shrugged her off his shoulder.
"See? It's like you don't want me touching you" she fussed.
"Baby, it's not that. I'm just tired. I need sleep" he explained as best he could.
"I haven't seen you in five days. I thought maybe you'd want to make out" she grinned straddling him at the computer desk blocking his view of his laptop.
"KC! Don't you see I'm busy?" he shouted obviously not wanting to be bothered. "Go think over your strategy for your match against Victoria tomorrow or something!" he slowly pushed her off of his lap and waved her away.
"We've already went over our spots for tomorrow. Goodnight Matt" KC called over her shoulder as she headed to bed.
"Damnit!" Matt groaned as he pounded his fist down on the desk. Tomorrow he had to keep his distance from KC or the guys will know he won the bet and more than likely it would get back to KC. He didn't know how much longer he could keep this from her. He sent his commentary and turned off the laptop. He stood and headed to the bedroom. He saw her lying there pretending to be sleep. He got under the cover and pulled her close. "I'm sorry for being an ass" he whispered. "Forgive me?" he asked.
"Sure" she smiled as she caressed his face.
"Can I do you all night?" he teased.
"We have matches tomorrow. Not all night" she giggled.
"Okay, just half of the night" he groaned pulling her on top of him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So tell me the truth, you and Matt a couple?" Trish pried.
"We're friends" KC answered staring at Matt's match on the screen.
"That's not a full answer" Lita commented pulling her shorts on.
"I don't know what we have. It's a cool friendship" KC shrugged.
"I bet! Sex involved yet?" Lita asked.
KC pretended not to hear and continued staring at the monitor.
"Well?" Trish shouted.
"Huh?" KC looked over at them smiling.
"You little slut! You're sleeping with him!" Lita chuckled. "He's a pretty good lay huh?" Lita bragged.
"Umm, yea. I feel weird discussing his sexual technique with you though" KC frowned at Lita.
"Well, I haven't had him yet so you can talk to me" Trish fussed.
"It was nice" KC shrugged.
"Just nice?" Lita questioned.
"It was... okay" KC answered trying to not brag about the incredible orgasms that she'd been experiencing. She's always heard to never brag about how good your man was in bed to your girls because they could get curious and try to get with your man and find out for themselves. Lita knew how Matt was in bed but Trish didn't. KC was a private person and didn't like her business in the streets. Not that she didn't trust Trish, but she'd heard rumors about how Trish came up in the company. It could have been rumors. "Say, I'm going to go find Victoria and go over our spots again" KC said out of the blue.
"Okay. See you later" Trish responded sounding suspicious.
KC headed out to find Victoria and ran into Jericho who was yelling into his cellphone.
"That's right Assclown! My room had better be ready when I get there!" he shouted before hanging up the phone. "KC?" he sighed sounding completely innocent.
"Hey King of the World" KC laughed.
"And of Bling Bling" he reminded pointing at her.
"You ready for tonight?" KC asked looking at Matt's match on the monitor behind Jericho.
He turned and saw what she was staring at and grinned. "You like him don't you?" Jericho inquired.
"Who?" KC asked nervously twisting her hair around her finger.
"Hardy" Jericho pointed.
"He's okay" she shrugged and walked away.
"Hey! You two are messing around aren't you?" Jericho accused.
"Why would you say that?" she asked stopping in her tracks and facing him.
"Just a hunch" Jericho chuckled. "You've been kissing with more passion. Either Hardy has opened those floodgates of yours or your thinking of him when you kiss me" Jericho grinned.
"Your wrong on both accounts" she lied walking towards Victoria's locker room.
"Why do I have the feeling that I'm right on the money?" Jericho said to no one in particular.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, you hangin with us tonight or what?" Shannon asked Matt who appeared to be engrossed in KC's ladder match against Victoria.
"Hey Hardy, you hear Shannon?" Jericho shouted.
"Huh? Oh yea, I'm there!" Matt answered slapping hands with Christian as he sat down next to him.
"So, you jackoffs up for some fun tonight?" Cena asked walking in holding a throwback jersey in his hand.
"Hell yea!" Shannon commented as Matt turned back to the monitor just as KC climbed the ladder and grabbed the women's title and fell to the mat real hard. Matt stood quickly and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Christian asked standing quickly and throwing his arm around Matt's shoulder.
"To get a bottle of water if you don't mind" Matt grinned.
"Hardy, bring me one back too" Cena asked.
"Yea" Matt replied as he headed down the hall. He made it over to the backstage area and waited impatiently a few minutes but KC wasn't coming back yet. Christian called out to Matt.
"What are you doing over here?" Christian asked.
"I was talking to one of the guys over there" Matt pointed to a group of stagehands. "Come on, I need some water" Matt said guiding a suspicious Christian toward the catering hall.
KC came down the stairs rubbing her hip hoping Matt would be there waiting to celebrate with her but was disappointed to see he wasn't. She felt like crying but she sucked it up and headed to the showers. She came out and grabbed a pair of blue jeans and stepped into them and grabbed the matching blue jean top just as Trish walked in.
"Cute outfit. You have to tell me where I can get one" Trish said touching the low cut top as KC buttoned it.
"It's a little tight on me?" KC hissed as she bent over and slipped into her silver sandals.
"You just showered! It'll loosen up" Trish assured her.
"I lotioned my body after I showered" KC fussed.
"That could be it too. Anyway, congrats on your win. I may have to take that title from you next month!" Trish teased.
"I look forward to it!" KC challenged standing over Trish.
"Ooh, your scaring me!" Trish taunted pretending to shiver. "So, got a victory kiss from Matt yet?" she teased.
"No, I'm on my way to see him now" KC shouted heading out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Will you guys stop badgering me about this?" Matt fussed as Jericho, Shannon, and Christian surrounded him as soon as he sat down in a chair.
"Have you won the bet?" Christian questioned.
"No!" Matt shouted
"Why did Christian see you waiting for KC by the backstage area?" Jericho challenged.
"I was talking to one of the grip guys!" Matt replied quickly.
"Thought it was a stagehand?" Christian laughed as someone knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Shannon shouted as KC stuck her head in the door.
"Hey guys, I was wondering if I could borrow Matt for a minute" she asked eyeing the guys suspiciously.
"Sure" Jericho grinned.
"Matt?" Christian said looking down at him as if he was guilty as charged.
"KC, I'm busy right now. I'll talk to you later," Matt said never looking her way.
"Well, I'm leaving early to go celebrate and I thought that maybe you'd want to ride..."
"I said I'm busy!" he shouted as he walked over to the door and pushed her into the hall and closed the door in her face.
"Damn Matt, that was rude!" Shannon shouted.
"She doesn't know when to leave" Matt huffed trying to catch his breath as they stared at him.
"What's going on between you two?" Shannon asked honestly.
"Nothing. I'm just going to back away from the bet. I want no part of it" Matt sighed as he sat on the bench and covered his face as he rocked back and forth.
"You slept with her didn't you?" Christian asked as KC pushed the door open.
"Yes" Matt admitted.
"How long ago?" Jericho asked.
"Weeks ago" Matt groaned.
"So, I think this belongs to you" Jericho said handing the money to Matt.
"Yea, you won the bet. You melted the Ice Queen" Christian said.
"Oh my God!" KC whispered causing all four men to look at the horrified look on her face. She backed away from the door and took off running.
"KC!" Matt called out as he ran after her.
"Shit!" Shannon said picking the money up off the floor.
"KC!" Matt shouted through the women's locker room door. He pounded on the door as Trish snatched the door open and let him in. "Where is she?" he asked angrily as Trish pointed to the restroom door that only accommodated one person at a time. "KC! Open the door!" Matt shouted as he turned the doorknob but it was locked. "KC, baby I can explain!" he whispered against the door as he heard her gagging and throwing up. "Baby, you okay" he asked with concern.
KC paused after throwing up and choked out, "Go away!"
"I didn't want to be a part of the bet. I didn't tell them anything about us because I didn't want to win the bet. The only thing I won was you baby. Please! Talk to me" he begged as the door unlocked and KC brushed past him and grabbed her bag and headed for the parking lot.
"KC, don't leave like this" Matt pleaded as she headed towards their rental car. "Are you going to leave me here?" he questioned as she unlocked the door and threw her bag in the passenger seat.
"Matt leave me alone. Go collect your bet!" she shouted in his face.
"I was telling them I wanted out of the bet" he explained as she started the car.
"How much was I worth Matt?" she asked staring at him with the saddest eyes he'd ever seen.
"It doesn't matter" he answered.
"How much?" she screamed.
"$1500" he replied reluctantly.
KC laughed at him but then she broke down crying and leaned against the steering wheel. "Who was in on it?" she asked.
"Shannon, Christian, and I. Jericho was holding the $500 we each put in the pot" Matt told her.
"Why Matt?" she questioned.
"I agreed to the bet before I even knew who you were" Matt breathed out a long sigh. "I thought I was going after Kayla. I didn't know she was also KC" he groaned leaning in the car. "Baby, please let me get my bags and we'll talk about this on the road" he begged through tears.
"Fine! Hurry up!" she sobbed.
Matt ran back into the arena and grabbed his bags. On his way out of the building Trish stopped him and gave him KC's women's title that she'd left on a chair in the women's locker room. He thanked Trish and rushed out to the parking lot but KC was long gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Shit! I'm going to be fired" KC cried as she paced back and forth.
"Calm down!" Lita fussed.
"How can I? I left the women's title! I can't go out there against Trish without the belt around my waist tonight" KC cried.
"You're right. I don't know what to tell you" Lita groaned rubbing her forehead.
"How could I be so irresponsible!" KC seethed.
"Ask Bischoff what to do. Maybe Trish got it" Lita suggested as she headed out the door for her match.
"Right!" KC said grabbing her cellphone to call Trish as Trish walked through the door with her bag. "Oh my God! Please tell me you have my women's title" KC begged.
"I did" Trish shrugged.
"Did?" KC panicked.
"I gave it to Matt on his way out yesterday" Trish grinned.
"Oh no! I left him yesterday! I know he's pissed because he didn't even call me!" she cried.
"I'm sorry! I thought you two were leaving together" Trish apologized as Jericho passed by the door and stopped.
"KC, can we talk?" Jericho asked.
"Why?" KC questioned.
"I need to explain some things," he said in a quiet tone glancing at Trish.
"I'll leave you two alone" Trish smiled and left.
Jericho forced KC to sit in a chair and then he pulled a chair across from her and sat down. He let out a long breath before he spoke. "First off, I'm sorry. It was asinine for us grown men to make a bet like that. I knew you were KC and Kayla and I sent Matt to your hotel room the night you two first met. He had no idea you were Kayla and I knew he hated KC so I was being an assclown" he shrugged. "Second, I figured out you and Matt had feelings for each other when he couldn't take his eyes off of you the night you danced. You two couldn't see it but I did. I even figured you two had been intimate after his party from the playful way you two were being with one another in the mall on the day after his party. Still, I continued to let Matt sweat it out just to torture him after I knew he'd won the bet. I also saw him steal that tape of you dancing out of Shane's camcorder. Shane never left the club with that tape" he paused trying to catch his breath. He continued, "Matt didn't take the money. Matter of fact, he disappeared last night. Shannon can't find him. I'm sure he's fine but he really let us guys have it last night before he left" he chuckled. "He really likes you KC. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive him" Jericho smiled. "Can you forgive me and the other guys too?" he pouted.
"I'm glad you cleared a few things up. In time, I can forgive you guys because I'm not a vindictive person" she said as a hint of a smile played at the corner of her mouth.
"It's safe Christian!" Jericho called out. Christian came in looking scared.
"I'm sorry KC. I didn't mean for you to get hurt. I wasn't thinking. All I could see was this really hot girl that I wanted to get with but along the way I forgot that you had feelings. I apologize," he said in a sweet tone. KC stood and kissed him on the cheek and hugged him and Jericho.
"I forgive you guys. I have a match in a little bit so I need to get ready" she smiled as she ushered them out of the locker room. She rushed to get dressed and tried to call Matt's cellphone and got no answer. Finally it was time for her match so she reluctantly headed for the backstage stairs to head for the ring without her belt. She watched Trish go up and out onto the stage. As she stood watching someone reached around her waist. She looked down and saw her belt and looked up into Matt's solemn face. After he secured the belt around her waist he backed away. She wanted to thank him but a stagehand shouted for her to go up the stairs to head out to the ring.
After her match KC hurried to the back but Matt was nowhere to be found. Her last resort was Jericho's dressing room.
"Chris, you seen Matt?" KC asked in a rushed voice.
"No, he's on SmackDown remember?" he laughed sarcastically as Lita sat on his lap.
"No! He was here earlier. He's nowhere to be found" KC said finally feeling defeat.
"Maybe he left and headed to the town for SmackDown" Chris said.
"Okay" she said trying to call Matt again but still no answer. Instead of heading home to Dallas she decided to go to the SmackDown taping the next day. She entered the building and ran into Torrie Wilson.
"Hey girl, what are you doing here?" Torrie smiled.
"Looking for Matt" KC grinned. "You seen him?"
"Earlier. He was with Cena earlier" Torrie pointed to a locker room door.
KC headed over and knocked on the door. Shannon opened the door and grinned. "Hey KC. I was meaning to call you and apologize about the bet," Shannon said in a hushed tone stuffing the $1500 in her hand he'd been holding on to.
"I accept. Is Matt in there?" KC asked.
"Who is that?" Cena asked snatching the door open. "Hey babygirl" he screamed picking her up in a hug. "My girl is the women's champ!" he bragged to Rey Mysterio and Kurt Angle.
"John, have you seen Matt?" KC asked.
"No, he left after I told his ass how I really felt about that shit he pulled on you" John said angrily as his face twisted and he frowned until he was turning red.
"John, it's okay. I'll handle Matt" KC laughed as his expression softened.
"You don't want me to kick his ass?" John questioned.
"No!" she giggled as Kurt turned his head towards the floor and laughed along with Rey Mysterio.
"Well, he left" John answered.
"Okay. Thanks" she said as a feeling of uneasiness formed in the pit of her stomach.
**********************
Matt walked in his house and dropped his car keys and mail on the table in the hall. He stretched and headed to the kitchen for something to drink. He opened the refrigerator and pulled out a carton of orange juice. He opened it and took a swallow. "Ahh, pulp is good for you" he mumbled as he headed to the phone and dialed to check his messages. He played back the 6 messages. Three were from KC. He was so pissed at her. She'd left him stranded and didn't call to see if he was okay. He so wanted to wring her fucking neck but it was so delicate and soft as he ran his lips along it. "Damn!" he shouted. It had been over a week since they'd talked. When Shannon had told him that she'd been looking for him at the SmackDown taping his heart started to race and a sense of relief came over his body knowing that she actually wanted to be around him. He rubbed his right eye, which was still a little sore from the punch Cena had landed on him which sent him across a table in the catering hall before KC had shown up. Matt grabbed his bag and headed upstairs to bed. Before he could flip the switch, the lamp turned on showing KC standing on side of his bed in a black bra and a pair of matching panties. His heart began to race as he noticed the black thigh hi's she was wearing. She walked over to him and caressed his face pausing at his black eye a few seconds. She kissed both of his eyes and then she placed a soft kiss on his lips. She caressed the outline of his lips with her index finger. He dropped his travel bag and kissed her hungrily. He palmed her ass and pulled her against him but she pulled away with an evil grin on her face.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked stepping towards her but she raised her hand in protest. She walked over to the chair and sat down and picked up the stereo remote. She pushed play as The Hardy Boyz music filled the room.
"Dance for me" she demanded.
"Huh?" Matt asked not sure of what she'd just asked.
"Dance for me" she repeated in a more dominating tone.
"To me and Jeff's old theme?" he questioned as she shook her head.
He started to dance to the music as she grinned and bobbed her head. He started to do his moves like when he'd go down to the ring. She stopped the music and he stared at her with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Not quite the beat I want for you" she laughed as the CD's switched and "I'm So Into You" by Fabulous and Tamia started playing.
"Kayla, why are you doing this?" he asked shifting from his right foot to his left.
"Stop shifting. A woman doesn't want to be entertained by a man who appears to be nervous. A woman wants a confident man. Now dance" she smiled while leaning back in the chair.
Matt started rolling his hips as he walked slowly over to KC. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt and then placed KC's hands on his flat stomach as he removed his shirt. KC caressed his chest and leaned over and licked his nipples causing him to gasp. KC grabbed the stereo control and paused the music.
"I didn't ask you to strip... yet" she said looking up into his eyes.
"I figured I'd get a jump start on the situation" he grinned as he took his pants and underwear off and got down on his knees in front of her. "I never meant to win that bet after I found out who you were. I wanted to get to know you better but my pride got in the way so I got your e-mail address from John and pretended to be Jeff. I got so caught up in the fantasy that I forgot you'd actually want to meet Jeff eventually. That's when I panicked and erased the screen name. Lord knows I didn't think that you'd show up at my party. You know I was jealous when you left with Jeff. Later that night when you returned to my house and I saw you standing in my doorway I sent that girl home because I wanted to be with you. I refused to let you get away that night. As far as the stripping for me goes, I expected a few slaps to my face but I had no idea that you'd actually give in to me" he smiled as he caressed her thighs. "Honestly, I thought it was a dream until I woke up and saw you next to me that afternoon. I knew I couldn't win that bet because I'd lose you" he sighed before continuing. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you. The moment I knew there was something between us is when you sat across from me in that hotel room eating chocolate cake but I denied it until I saw you with Jeff. So, I'm going to ask you what you want from me in the long run?" he inquired staring into her eyes.
"What are you willing to give?" she asked caressing his face.
"I'm willing to give you everything" he replied with a serious look on his face.
"That includes?" she teased as he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her up to him and wrapped her legs around his waist.
"Me, V.1 and only" he laughed. "It includes marriage and kids. Do you even want kids?" he questioned.
"Yes, and I couldn't imagine myself having them with anyone else but you" she smiled and kissed him on the lips.
"So, are you willing to relocate?" he asked as he lifted her up out the chair and pulled the comforter back and laid her down on the bed.
"I guess I'll have to. Know of any houses for rent around here?" she laughed as he removed her thigh hi's.
"No, but there's a room you can rent out right here in this house. Of course it comes with a 6'2 230 lb. man" he teased before kissing her neck as he removed her panties.
"Hmm, is he cute?" she asked as she pulled the cover over them.
"I think he'll be to your liking," he said as he reached over to turn the lamp off.
"Matt, wait!" she shouted grabbing his hand.
"What is it baby?" he frowned.
"I just wanted you to be able to see me when I told you that I love you" she blushed.
He grinned and pulled her in for a kiss. "I love you too baby. Now, can we get back to the making up?" he asked in a whiny voice.
"Sure" she grinned as he reached over to turn off the lamp. The room filled with darkness. "Matt? Can you do it for me?" she begged.
"No Kayla. I'm not doing it tonight" he fussed as he tried to kiss her on the lips but she moved her lips away.
"I like when you call me Kayla when I'm getting to you. Please! I'll make it worth your while" she promised.
Matt sighed as he could feel her about to laugh. "Fine and then we can make up?" he grunted.
"Yes, you know it turns me on" she giggled.
"Okay! This is the last time Kayla!" he fussed.
"Okay baby. Do it" she demanded.
Matt caught his breath and looked down at her and kissed her. He pulled away and shouted, "I'm V-One-Uuhhhhhhh! Satisfied?" he laughed.
"Very" KC giggled as they embraced and began to make love.
"So, when can I see you again?" Matt asked pulling KC in for a brief kiss.
"When do you want to see me?" she grinned.
"Soon. Why don't I stay in town and we can hang out after Raw. That way you can travel with me to SmackDown and spend more time with me" Matt hinted at.
"Well, I wanted to go home tonight but..."
"How about I travel to Dallas with you after my match tomorrow" he offered.
"Would you?" she asked.
"Of course" he said pulling away from her as Jericho and Christian walked by.
"What are you doing here Hardy?" Christian teased.
"Looking for you guys actually" Matt said changing his attitude all of a sudden. "KC, I'll see you later," he said walking off with the guys as she stood there in shock.
"So, should I give you the money now?" Jericho asked pulling the wad of cash out. Matt pressed his hand against it pushing Jericho back a few steps as he looked back to see if KC was gone.
"I haven't won yet!" Matt lied.
"Shannon, Lita, and I saw you two wrestling around in a store in the mall Thursday. You two looked intimate" Jericho chuckled.
"She had no clothes after Shane took off with some girl and left her at my house! I loaned her money to buy an outfit" Matt informed him.
"So, it's still open season on the Ice Queen?" Christian questioned.
"Yes" Matt grumbled.
"Okay then, I'll hold on to this cash a little bit longer" Jericho commented stuffing the money back in his pocket.
"You coming to search for some hot chicks with us tonight?" Christian asked.
"Naw man, I'm heading on to SmackDown" Matt said walking into the dressing room with them.
"Hey Matt, how'd the weekend go?" Shane Helms teased.
"Fine" Matt answered giving him a warning look.
"Say, we need to go taunt Austin before the match. He's already out there in the ring" Jericho laughed following Christian out.
"Shane, don't mention to anyone that KC stayed the weekend with me okay?" Matt begged.
"Why? You regret it already?" Shane asked straddling the bench.
"No, I made a bet with Jericho, Christian, and Shannon" Matt admitted.
"What kind of bet?" Shane asked cautiously.
"Who could bed KC the quickest" Matt replied staring at the TV monitor.
"Shit Matt! You won the bet and now your having doubts because you actually like her?" Shane asked.
"I don't know man! I usually take my time getting emotionally involved with a girl but she's driving me insane" Matt growled holding his head in his hands.
"She hounding you for a commitment already?" Shane shrieked.
"No, that's just it, I don't know if she's in it for the sex or what" Matt groaned.
"So, she may be doing the no strings attached thing?" Shane guessed.
"Probably" Matt uttered.
"Well, ask her what she wants" Shane implied.
"I don't even know what I want Shane" Matt blew out a deep breath.
"Well, it's still early in the ... do I dare say relationship?" Shane asked as Matt nodded.
"Can you take her kissing Jericho tonight?" Shane asked.
"What do you mean?" Matt asked as Shane pointed to the monitor as KC headed out to the ring during Jericho and Christian's match against Test and Scott Steiner.
"She joins up with Jericho and Christian tonight" Shane explained. "There will be a lot of kissing going on for the next few months. She'll dump Jericho in six weeks for Christian during their title match against each other" Shane told him as a slight tightness pulled in Matt's chest. "You won't be jealous will you?" Shane asked as KC kissed Jericho passionately after she helped them win the match.
"No, I can deal with it" Matt answered nodding his head as Jericho pulled her back to him and stared into her eyes and kissed her.
"Give it time homeslice. Oh! Close your eyes!" Shane shouted as Jericho slipped his tongue into her mouth.
"I have no choice but to" Matt sighed balling up his fists.
"By the way, I think these belong to you" Shane grinned handing Matt KC's white lace panties. "I found them but I wouldn't feel right sniff... I mean keeping them" he joked.
"Thanks Shane" Matt laughed as he stuffed the panties into his pocket.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, why have you been distant these past few weeks?" KC asked leaning over Matt's shoulder as he typed a commentary for his website.
"I'm not being distant. I've just been busy doing autograph signings" he shrugged her off his shoulder.
"See? It's like you don't want me touching you" she fussed.
"Baby, it's not that. I'm just tired. I need sleep" he explained as best he could.
"I haven't seen you in five days. I thought maybe you'd want to make out" she grinned straddling him at the computer desk blocking his view of his laptop.
"KC! Don't you see I'm busy?" he shouted obviously not wanting to be bothered. "Go think over your strategy for your match against Victoria tomorrow or something!" he slowly pushed her off of his lap and waved her away.
"We've already went over our spots for tomorrow. Goodnight Matt" KC called over her shoulder as she headed to bed.
"Damnit!" Matt groaned as he pounded his fist down on the desk. Tomorrow he had to keep his distance from KC or the guys will know he won the bet and more than likely it would get back to KC. He didn't know how much longer he could keep this from her. He sent his commentary and turned off the laptop. He stood and headed to the bedroom. He saw her lying there pretending to be sleep. He got under the cover and pulled her close. "I'm sorry for being an ass" he whispered. "Forgive me?" he asked.
"Sure" she smiled as she caressed his face.
"Can I do you all night?" he teased.
"We have matches tomorrow. Not all night" she giggled.
"Okay, just half of the night" he groaned pulling her on top of him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So tell me the truth, you and Matt a couple?" Trish pried.
"We're friends" KC answered staring at Matt's match on the screen.
"That's not a full answer" Lita commented pulling her shorts on.
"I don't know what we have. It's a cool friendship" KC shrugged.
"I bet! Sex involved yet?" Lita asked.
KC pretended not to hear and continued staring at the monitor.
"Well?" Trish shouted.
"Huh?" KC looked over at them smiling.
"You little slut! You're sleeping with him!" Lita chuckled. "He's a pretty good lay huh?" Lita bragged.
"Umm, yea. I feel weird discussing his sexual technique with you though" KC frowned at Lita.
"Well, I haven't had him yet so you can talk to me" Trish fussed.
"It was nice" KC shrugged.
"Just nice?" Lita questioned.
"It was... okay" KC answered trying to not brag about the incredible orgasms that she'd been experiencing. She's always heard to never brag about how good your man was in bed to your girls because they could get curious and try to get with your man and find out for themselves. Lita knew how Matt was in bed but Trish didn't. KC was a private person and didn't like her business in the streets. Not that she didn't trust Trish, but she'd heard rumors about how Trish came up in the company. It could have been rumors. "Say, I'm going to go find Victoria and go over our spots again" KC said out of the blue.
"Okay. See you later" Trish responded sounding suspicious.
KC headed out to find Victoria and ran into Jericho who was yelling into his cellphone.
"That's right Assclown! My room had better be ready when I get there!" he shouted before hanging up the phone. "KC?" he sighed sounding completely innocent.
"Hey King of the World" KC laughed.
"And of Bling Bling" he reminded pointing at her.
"You ready for tonight?" KC asked looking at Matt's match on the monitor behind Jericho.
He turned and saw what she was staring at and grinned. "You like him don't you?" Jericho inquired.
"Who?" KC asked nervously twisting her hair around her finger.
"Hardy" Jericho pointed.
"He's okay" she shrugged and walked away.
"Hey! You two are messing around aren't you?" Jericho accused.
"Why would you say that?" she asked stopping in her tracks and facing him.
"Just a hunch" Jericho chuckled. "You've been kissing with more passion. Either Hardy has opened those floodgates of yours or your thinking of him when you kiss me" Jericho grinned.
"Your wrong on both accounts" she lied walking towards Victoria's locker room.
"Why do I have the feeling that I'm right on the money?" Jericho said to no one in particular.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, you hangin with us tonight or what?" Shannon asked Matt who appeared to be engrossed in KC's ladder match against Victoria.
"Hey Hardy, you hear Shannon?" Jericho shouted.
"Huh? Oh yea, I'm there!" Matt answered slapping hands with Christian as he sat down next to him.
"So, you jackoffs up for some fun tonight?" Cena asked walking in holding a throwback jersey in his hand.
"Hell yea!" Shannon commented as Matt turned back to the monitor just as KC climbed the ladder and grabbed the women's title and fell to the mat real hard. Matt stood quickly and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Christian asked standing quickly and throwing his arm around Matt's shoulder.
"To get a bottle of water if you don't mind" Matt grinned.
"Hardy, bring me one back too" Cena asked.
"Yea" Matt replied as he headed down the hall. He made it over to the backstage area and waited impatiently a few minutes but KC wasn't coming back yet. Christian called out to Matt.
"What are you doing over here?" Christian asked.
"I was talking to one of the guys over there" Matt pointed to a group of stagehands. "Come on, I need some water" Matt said guiding a suspicious Christian toward the catering hall.
KC came down the stairs rubbing her hip hoping Matt would be there waiting to celebrate with her but was disappointed to see he wasn't. She felt like crying but she sucked it up and headed to the showers. She came out and grabbed a pair of blue jeans and stepped into them and grabbed the matching blue jean top just as Trish walked in.
"Cute outfit. You have to tell me where I can get one" Trish said touching the low cut top as KC buttoned it.
"It's a little tight on me?" KC hissed as she bent over and slipped into her silver sandals.
"You just showered! It'll loosen up" Trish assured her.
"I lotioned my body after I showered" KC fussed.
"That could be it too. Anyway, congrats on your win. I may have to take that title from you next month!" Trish teased.
"I look forward to it!" KC challenged standing over Trish.
"Ooh, your scaring me!" Trish taunted pretending to shiver. "So, got a victory kiss from Matt yet?" she teased.
"No, I'm on my way to see him now" KC shouted heading out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Will you guys stop badgering me about this?" Matt fussed as Jericho, Shannon, and Christian surrounded him as soon as he sat down in a chair.
"Have you won the bet?" Christian questioned.
"No!" Matt shouted
"Why did Christian see you waiting for KC by the backstage area?" Jericho challenged.
"I was talking to one of the grip guys!" Matt replied quickly.
"Thought it was a stagehand?" Christian laughed as someone knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Shannon shouted as KC stuck her head in the door.
"Hey guys, I was wondering if I could borrow Matt for a minute" she asked eyeing the guys suspiciously.
"Sure" Jericho grinned.
"Matt?" Christian said looking down at him as if he was guilty as charged.
"KC, I'm busy right now. I'll talk to you later," Matt said never looking her way.
"Well, I'm leaving early to go celebrate and I thought that maybe you'd want to ride..."
"I said I'm busy!" he shouted as he walked over to the door and pushed her into the hall and closed the door in her face.
"Damn Matt, that was rude!" Shannon shouted.
"She doesn't know when to leave" Matt huffed trying to catch his breath as they stared at him.
"What's going on between you two?" Shannon asked honestly.
"Nothing. I'm just going to back away from the bet. I want no part of it" Matt sighed as he sat on the bench and covered his face as he rocked back and forth.
"You slept with her didn't you?" Christian asked as KC pushed the door open.
"Yes" Matt admitted.
"How long ago?" Jericho asked.
"Weeks ago" Matt groaned.
"So, I think this belongs to you" Jericho said handing the money to Matt.
"Yea, you won the bet. You melted the Ice Queen" Christian said.
"Oh my God!" KC whispered causing all four men to look at the horrified look on her face. She backed away from the door and took off running.
"KC!" Matt called out as he ran after her.
"Shit!" Shannon said picking the money up off the floor.
"KC!" Matt shouted through the women's locker room door. He pounded on the door as Trish snatched the door open and let him in. "Where is she?" he asked angrily as Trish pointed to the restroom door that only accommodated one person at a time. "KC! Open the door!" Matt shouted as he turned the doorknob but it was locked. "KC, baby I can explain!" he whispered against the door as he heard her gagging and throwing up. "Baby, you okay" he asked with concern.
KC paused after throwing up and choked out, "Go away!"
"I didn't want to be a part of the bet. I didn't tell them anything about us because I didn't want to win the bet. The only thing I won was you baby. Please! Talk to me" he begged as the door unlocked and KC brushed past him and grabbed her bag and headed for the parking lot.
"KC, don't leave like this" Matt pleaded as she headed towards their rental car. "Are you going to leave me here?" he questioned as she unlocked the door and threw her bag in the passenger seat.
"Matt leave me alone. Go collect your bet!" she shouted in his face.
"I was telling them I wanted out of the bet" he explained as she started the car.
"How much was I worth Matt?" she asked staring at him with the saddest eyes he'd ever seen.
"It doesn't matter" he answered.
"How much?" she screamed.
"$1500" he replied reluctantly.
KC laughed at him but then she broke down crying and leaned against the steering wheel. "Who was in on it?" she asked.
"Shannon, Christian, and I. Jericho was holding the $500 we each put in the pot" Matt told her.
"Why Matt?" she questioned.
"I agreed to the bet before I even knew who you were" Matt breathed out a long sigh. "I thought I was going after Kayla. I didn't know she was also KC" he groaned leaning in the car. "Baby, please let me get my bags and we'll talk about this on the road" he begged through tears.
"Fine! Hurry up!" she sobbed.
Matt ran back into the arena and grabbed his bags. On his way out of the building Trish stopped him and gave him KC's women's title that she'd left on a chair in the women's locker room. He thanked Trish and rushed out to the parking lot but KC was long gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Shit! I'm going to be fired" KC cried as she paced back and forth.
"Calm down!" Lita fussed.
"How can I? I left the women's title! I can't go out there against Trish without the belt around my waist tonight" KC cried.
"You're right. I don't know what to tell you" Lita groaned rubbing her forehead.
"How could I be so irresponsible!" KC seethed.
"Ask Bischoff what to do. Maybe Trish got it" Lita suggested as she headed out the door for her match.
"Right!" KC said grabbing her cellphone to call Trish as Trish walked through the door with her bag. "Oh my God! Please tell me you have my women's title" KC begged.
"I did" Trish shrugged.
"Did?" KC panicked.
"I gave it to Matt on his way out yesterday" Trish grinned.
"Oh no! I left him yesterday! I know he's pissed because he didn't even call me!" she cried.
"I'm sorry! I thought you two were leaving together" Trish apologized as Jericho passed by the door and stopped.
"KC, can we talk?" Jericho asked.
"Why?" KC questioned.
"I need to explain some things," he said in a quiet tone glancing at Trish.
"I'll leave you two alone" Trish smiled and left.
Jericho forced KC to sit in a chair and then he pulled a chair across from her and sat down. He let out a long breath before he spoke. "First off, I'm sorry. It was asinine for us grown men to make a bet like that. I knew you were KC and Kayla and I sent Matt to your hotel room the night you two first met. He had no idea you were Kayla and I knew he hated KC so I was being an assclown" he shrugged. "Second, I figured out you and Matt had feelings for each other when he couldn't take his eyes off of you the night you danced. You two couldn't see it but I did. I even figured you two had been intimate after his party from the playful way you two were being with one another in the mall on the day after his party. Still, I continued to let Matt sweat it out just to torture him after I knew he'd won the bet. I also saw him steal that tape of you dancing out of Shane's camcorder. Shane never left the club with that tape" he paused trying to catch his breath. He continued, "Matt didn't take the money. Matter of fact, he disappeared last night. Shannon can't find him. I'm sure he's fine but he really let us guys have it last night before he left" he chuckled. "He really likes you KC. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive him" Jericho smiled. "Can you forgive me and the other guys too?" he pouted.
"I'm glad you cleared a few things up. In time, I can forgive you guys because I'm not a vindictive person" she said as a hint of a smile played at the corner of her mouth.
"It's safe Christian!" Jericho called out. Christian came in looking scared.
"I'm sorry KC. I didn't mean for you to get hurt. I wasn't thinking. All I could see was this really hot girl that I wanted to get with but along the way I forgot that you had feelings. I apologize," he said in a sweet tone. KC stood and kissed him on the cheek and hugged him and Jericho.
"I forgive you guys. I have a match in a little bit so I need to get ready" she smiled as she ushered them out of the locker room. She rushed to get dressed and tried to call Matt's cellphone and got no answer. Finally it was time for her match so she reluctantly headed for the backstage stairs to head for the ring without her belt. She watched Trish go up and out onto the stage. As she stood watching someone reached around her waist. She looked down and saw her belt and looked up into Matt's solemn face. After he secured the belt around her waist he backed away. She wanted to thank him but a stagehand shouted for her to go up the stairs to head out to the ring.
After her match KC hurried to the back but Matt was nowhere to be found. Her last resort was Jericho's dressing room.
"Chris, you seen Matt?" KC asked in a rushed voice.
"No, he's on SmackDown remember?" he laughed sarcastically as Lita sat on his lap.
"No! He was here earlier. He's nowhere to be found" KC said finally feeling defeat.
"Maybe he left and headed to the town for SmackDown" Chris said.
"Okay" she said trying to call Matt again but still no answer. Instead of heading home to Dallas she decided to go to the SmackDown taping the next day. She entered the building and ran into Torrie Wilson.
"Hey girl, what are you doing here?" Torrie smiled.
"Looking for Matt" KC grinned. "You seen him?"
"Earlier. He was with Cena earlier" Torrie pointed to a locker room door.
KC headed over and knocked on the door. Shannon opened the door and grinned. "Hey KC. I was meaning to call you and apologize about the bet," Shannon said in a hushed tone stuffing the $1500 in her hand he'd been holding on to.
"I accept. Is Matt in there?" KC asked.
"Who is that?" Cena asked snatching the door open. "Hey babygirl" he screamed picking her up in a hug. "My girl is the women's champ!" he bragged to Rey Mysterio and Kurt Angle.
"John, have you seen Matt?" KC asked.
"No, he left after I told his ass how I really felt about that shit he pulled on you" John said angrily as his face twisted and he frowned until he was turning red.
"John, it's okay. I'll handle Matt" KC laughed as his expression softened.
"You don't want me to kick his ass?" John questioned.
"No!" she giggled as Kurt turned his head towards the floor and laughed along with Rey Mysterio.
"Well, he left" John answered.
"Okay. Thanks" she said as a feeling of uneasiness formed in the pit of her stomach.
**********************
Matt walked in his house and dropped his car keys and mail on the table in the hall. He stretched and headed to the kitchen for something to drink. He opened the refrigerator and pulled out a carton of orange juice. He opened it and took a swallow. "Ahh, pulp is good for you" he mumbled as he headed to the phone and dialed to check his messages. He played back the 6 messages. Three were from KC. He was so pissed at her. She'd left him stranded and didn't call to see if he was okay. He so wanted to wring her fucking neck but it was so delicate and soft as he ran his lips along it. "Damn!" he shouted. It had been over a week since they'd talked. When Shannon had told him that she'd been looking for him at the SmackDown taping his heart started to race and a sense of relief came over his body knowing that she actually wanted to be around him. He rubbed his right eye, which was still a little sore from the punch Cena had landed on him which sent him across a table in the catering hall before KC had shown up. Matt grabbed his bag and headed upstairs to bed. Before he could flip the switch, the lamp turned on showing KC standing on side of his bed in a black bra and a pair of matching panties. His heart began to race as he noticed the black thigh hi's she was wearing. She walked over to him and caressed his face pausing at his black eye a few seconds. She kissed both of his eyes and then she placed a soft kiss on his lips. She caressed the outline of his lips with her index finger. He dropped his travel bag and kissed her hungrily. He palmed her ass and pulled her against him but she pulled away with an evil grin on her face.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked stepping towards her but she raised her hand in protest. She walked over to the chair and sat down and picked up the stereo remote. She pushed play as The Hardy Boyz music filled the room.
"Dance for me" she demanded.
"Huh?" Matt asked not sure of what she'd just asked.
"Dance for me" she repeated in a more dominating tone.
"To me and Jeff's old theme?" he questioned as she shook her head.
He started to dance to the music as she grinned and bobbed her head. He started to do his moves like when he'd go down to the ring. She stopped the music and he stared at her with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Not quite the beat I want for you" she laughed as the CD's switched and "I'm So Into You" by Fabulous and Tamia started playing.
"Kayla, why are you doing this?" he asked shifting from his right foot to his left.
"Stop shifting. A woman doesn't want to be entertained by a man who appears to be nervous. A woman wants a confident man. Now dance" she smiled while leaning back in the chair.
Matt started rolling his hips as he walked slowly over to KC. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt and then placed KC's hands on his flat stomach as he removed his shirt. KC caressed his chest and leaned over and licked his nipples causing him to gasp. KC grabbed the stereo control and paused the music.
"I didn't ask you to strip... yet" she said looking up into his eyes.
"I figured I'd get a jump start on the situation" he grinned as he took his pants and underwear off and got down on his knees in front of her. "I never meant to win that bet after I found out who you were. I wanted to get to know you better but my pride got in the way so I got your e-mail address from John and pretended to be Jeff. I got so caught up in the fantasy that I forgot you'd actually want to meet Jeff eventually. That's when I panicked and erased the screen name. Lord knows I didn't think that you'd show up at my party. You know I was jealous when you left with Jeff. Later that night when you returned to my house and I saw you standing in my doorway I sent that girl home because I wanted to be with you. I refused to let you get away that night. As far as the stripping for me goes, I expected a few slaps to my face but I had no idea that you'd actually give in to me" he smiled as he caressed her thighs. "Honestly, I thought it was a dream until I woke up and saw you next to me that afternoon. I knew I couldn't win that bet because I'd lose you" he sighed before continuing. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you. The moment I knew there was something between us is when you sat across from me in that hotel room eating chocolate cake but I denied it until I saw you with Jeff. So, I'm going to ask you what you want from me in the long run?" he inquired staring into her eyes.
"What are you willing to give?" she asked caressing his face.
"I'm willing to give you everything" he replied with a serious look on his face.
"That includes?" she teased as he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her up to him and wrapped her legs around his waist.
"Me, V.1 and only" he laughed. "It includes marriage and kids. Do you even want kids?" he questioned.
"Yes, and I couldn't imagine myself having them with anyone else but you" she smiled and kissed him on the lips.
"So, are you willing to relocate?" he asked as he lifted her up out the chair and pulled the comforter back and laid her down on the bed.
"I guess I'll have to. Know of any houses for rent around here?" she laughed as he removed her thigh hi's.
"No, but there's a room you can rent out right here in this house. Of course it comes with a 6'2 230 lb. man" he teased before kissing her neck as he removed her panties.
"Hmm, is he cute?" she asked as she pulled the cover over them.
"I think he'll be to your liking," he said as he reached over to turn the lamp off.
"Matt, wait!" she shouted grabbing his hand.
"What is it baby?" he frowned.
"I just wanted you to be able to see me when I told you that I love you" she blushed.
He grinned and pulled her in for a kiss. "I love you too baby. Now, can we get back to the making up?" he asked in a whiny voice.
"Sure" she grinned as he reached over to turn off the lamp. The room filled with darkness. "Matt? Can you do it for me?" she begged.
"No Kayla. I'm not doing it tonight" he fussed as he tried to kiss her on the lips but she moved her lips away.
"I like when you call me Kayla when I'm getting to you. Please! I'll make it worth your while" she promised.
Matt sighed as he could feel her about to laugh. "Fine and then we can make up?" he grunted.
"Yes, you know it turns me on" she giggled.
"Okay! This is the last time Kayla!" he fussed.
"Okay baby. Do it" she demanded.
Matt caught his breath and looked down at her and kissed her. He pulled away and shouted, "I'm V-One-Uuhhhhhhh! Satisfied?" he laughed.
"Very" KC giggled as they embraced and began to make love.
