Chapter 4

As the limo pulled into the estate, Shane met them at the doors and told them that dinner was ready and that training would start the next morning at around 6:30.

Jeff, who had been helping Corinne out of the car turned around and stared at Shane.

He swallowed hard, "6:30? A.M? In the morning? Damn, I thought we were gonna get a break."

"Sucks for you Jeffro," Amy said, laughing at the perturbed expression on Jeff's face.

"How are you Amy?" Shane asked as he walked out of the house.

"I'm fine," said Amy, "Umm, where are you going Shane?"

"Oh, ah, I just realized it's my anniversary. I'll see you all in the morning, Corinne, see that they behave and ah, Matt and Amy consider this a Christmas present. Bye!" And with that, he entered the waiting limo and drove away.

"Party, Party, Party!" Adam and Jay said, joining everyone else outside.

"Whatever," Matt said, "Where's everyone else?"

"Oh, they went to one of the cabins to like play poker and get drunk. Old folks ya know," Adam said.

"So who's left?"

"Umm, Shane, Shannon, you guys, and us. The usual crew."

"Well I'm hungry, I don't know about ya'll but I'm getting me some eats." Matt said.

"Ugh, Matt I hate it when you talk like that," Amy said following him inside the house.

"Like what? Darlin'?" Matt said with an exaggerated southern accent.

"Ugh!"

Once dinner was settled, everyone settled into the huge living room to watch some of the massive collection of raw and smackdown tapes in the house.

"Guys, this is so cool. They have like every single RAW and Smackdown ever made. That is awesome!" Jay said.

"They only have tapes from I think last year and this year so far, and everything else is in the basement, like filed or something. Which one do you wanna watch?"

" Let's watch the one where Amy and Matt kiss and forget they're on camera, that was hilarious." Adam said.

'Shut up," Matt and Amy said, throwing a pillow at him. They both remembered that as well, they had been fighting before the segment and what was supposed to be a small peck, turned out to be something much more than what they bargained for.

"Aims, your shirt was like half off before you both realized you were on T.V. That was great!"

The banter continued between the couple and Adam, while Jeff and Corinne started to talk.

"Oh so finish your story," Jeff said.

"What story?" Corinne asked, confused and distracted by the information she had just found out.

"Ya know, like why you decided to get drunk. Oh, sorry if you don't want to tell me don't, I'm just curious."

"Oh, um I guess it's okay. Basically, umm I caught my boyfriend sleeping with one of my good friends. It was a shock and I really just couldn't handle it. And I was supposed to stay in Indiana for like the rest of the summer to do this internship in Chicago, but since I left, I basically lost it. So that was why Mr. Callahan decided to help me out and besides I had the skills that WWF needed."

"Oh, I'm sorry, about your friend, that was bitchy. So..." Jeff began.

"So stop monopolizing Corinne's time Jeff! We want to talk to her too." And with that interruption, Jeff was pushed off the love chair and suddenly Corinne was sandwiched between Shane and Shannon.

"So, Cori baby, tell me all about you, make my life complete." Shane said jokingly, putting his arm around her.

"Hmm, has that line ever actually worked for any girl?" Corinne asked laughing at the insulted expression on his face.

"I'll have you know that...well no..i actually never really need to make any lines!" Shane retorted.

"Girls just love me for my adorable self." He looked up to see Jeff standing next to the couch with an outraged expression on his face. "What man? What? What's wrong with you? Yo, I told you when constipation gets to you, you just have to eat more fiber." Matt and Amy cracked up blatantly, while Corinne tried to at least to hide her laughter.

"Oh shut up Shane, get up, that was my seat!" Jeff said.

"Umm, no, you got up and walked around. Which means, the seat was empty, and is now my seat."

"What? What world are you living in? You pushed me off." Said Jeff. Shannon, always the peacemaker could see that Jeff was getting really irritated and stood up.

"Here Jeff, take my seat." After he sat down, Jeff put his arm in the back of the seat, only to encounter Shane's arm. He put his arm down and there was silence because at this time, Shane and Shannon were arguing about something.

Feeling the awkwardness in the air, Corinne stood up. "I'm going to get something to drink. Anyone want anything?"

"I'll have a...oh damn nothing alcoholic.... a coke," Matt said.

"Same here," Shane and Shannon said.

"I think I'll have a margarita, and Jay will have a screwdriver." Adam said.

"Yeah right, let me give your choices, Coke or water, or coke?" Corinne asked smiling sweetly.

"Or a coke will do just as well," Adam replied laughingly.

"Oh, and can you make some popcorn? Please!" Matt asked, pouting his lip. Jeff got ready to stand up, but Amy beat him to the punch and said, "I'll help you Corinne."

"Want anything Jeff?" Corinne asked.

"No that's alright, but if you need anything..."

"I'll be there to help," interrupted Amy, "Come on Cori." As soon as they were through the doors of the kitchen, Amy immediately asked, "So, what's up with you and Jeff?"

"Jeff? Um, I don't know, I just met him today." She said, taking out a couple of soda cans in the fridge, while Amy stuck a bag of popcorn in the microwave.

"Oh, so you don't like him?" Amy asked.

"I don't think it's really about me liking him, I mean we just met. He seems really nice but I really don't know much about him, other than wrestling, and besides he has a girlfriend right?"

"Nah, they broke up last year. I think he wanted to take it to the next level and she was having fun with him not being around all the time. Personally, I think she liked being able to do whatever she wanted when Jeff was traveling, I mean she had all the privileges. His house, the car, everything. Thank God, Jeff decided to wise up and realize that she wasn't taking their relationship as seriously as he was."

"Oh, that's sad. Well, I'm not out for a relationship right now. I mean I really need to focus on my career right now ya know. I have a great opportunity with Stephanie to show her what I can do. I mean she's basically just looking out for me and I need to make use of that."

"I understand." Amy said, looking at Corinne with a new respect. She knew what it was like to take every opportunity offered up to you and just fly with it.
