Chapter 7

It was the last night of the week. The countless hours of training and
creation of new moves were finally ending and Corinne and Amy met up
in Amy's room to relax. Amy and Corinne had gotten pretty close in the
past few days since their first meeting but had not had a lot of time
to talk since Corinne had gone over to the offices almost every day
while Amy and Steph finished setting up their final match. Now, they
ran to the kitchen and grabbed 3 bags of chips and soda and chose nail
polish to do their nails with.

"So finish telling me about how you and Matt got together." Corinne
said, gingerly picking up a chip with her wet nails.

"Well you mean like the first time or the second time?" Amy said,
blowing at her nails.

"I don't know...both I guess. I can't believe you guys ever had
problems. You're so disgustingly sweet together."

"Umm, well now our relationship is much better than it was before. I
mean Matt is definitely not innocent, he used to be a player, I'll
admit to that" Amy said, "I mean the first time I met him, he was just
arrogant, but I mean I was totally attracted to him. I'll admit, his
looks were the first thing I noticed, his looks but he just had this
inner strength. I mean I met him when I was just starting out at
wrestling and I knew then that I was going to make it my life. For
him, wrestling is just his heart and soul. He loves every single thing
about it, and I mean all you have to do is talk to him and you can
just feel how much respect he has for the sport. And he is so
confident. He knows himself and he's comfortable with the way that he
is. I remember when I first met him, I met him through another
wrestler friend who had actually warned me not to get involved with
him cause he was definitely a player."

"An you still went out with him?" Corinne asked, shocked that Amy
still went out with him after that news.

"Well, no. Of course not, at first I was totally adamant that he and I
were only going to train together and that was it. But as we got
closer, it was getting harder and harder for me to hide how I felt
about him. And I mean we knew each other for like 3 months before we
started going out. It's really actually kinda funny because the main
reason that I gave him a chance was because his best friend, other
than Jeff of course, Shane, confronted me. He basically cornered me
out one day and asked me when I was gonna put Matt out of his misery.
He said that Matt had been celibate for three months and had not even
gone clubbing since he had met me."

"And you believed him?"

"Hell no. I thought he was hot but I was not gonna put myself at risk
to get hurt. Now as wrestlers back then Jeff and Matt weren't popular
yet and like they were in the WWF but it wasn't regular, a few house
shows, you know here and there or like just being jobbers, but they
were basically traveling 5 days a week. And then I realized that every
single day off he had had since we met he had gone to wherever I was,
just to see me. And so that night I went to surprise him at his venue
and ummm, I just walked in and sat as one of the audience in like the
front row cause I knew someone there. And he walked out and didn't
notice me at first And then when he was standing up on the ropes he
noticed me and he didn't hear the bell ring and oh, he missed so many
moves that night cause he was trying so hard to not look over, but he
was just totally distracted, and that's when I knew. He was as crazy
about me and I was about him."

"Awwwww...that's soo sweet." Corinne said, smiling at the thought of
Matt, screwing up just because Amy was around. "But you guys still
broke up? What happened?"

"Well, they got popular. And they were going to more and more spots,
getting more airtime and then there were autograph signings and I was
doing my own thing in the Indy scene and ECW. I remember staying up
really late one night and me and this wrestler that I met in Lima just
talked about our problems in our relationship. And his was much worse
than mine cause that girl was just a bitch. But I realized that I
didn't want to hurt that much. I mean I hardly ever saw him and I
loved him but I just knew it wasn't the right time for us. So I broke
it off with him and it was the ultimate hardest thing I've ever had to
do. And like oh god, seeing his face when I told him that I wanted to
end it. Ugh, I could just cry thinking about it now. He just looked so
betrayed and he didn't say anything, he just turned around and walked
away. I got a letter from him a few weeks later umm saying basically
that he understood and that he would always love me and if I ever
needed him that he would always be there. I didn't write back, I just
didn't think it would help both of us get over it." Corinne and Amy
were silent for a moment when all of a sudden they heard a tapping
noise from the door connected to the balcony.

"What the heck..." Amy said standing up from the bed. As she got
closer, she grabbed a poker near the fireplace and flipped the light
switch on. Outside were a shivering Matt and Jeff, wearing pajamas and
wifebeaters.

"Holy shit, Matt get in!" She quickly opened the door and hugged him,
then closed the door before Jeff could come in eliciting an angry
growl from Jeff and laughter from Corinne.

"Hey babe, I just realized that your room had a rose trellis right
underneath it. Not too bright of Shane huh?" He said teeth chattering.

"Yeah, and not too bright of you to just realize it today, and it was
really really smart of you to climb a balcony in nothing but pjs.
Couldn't you have grabbed a coat?" Amy said leading him towards the
couch.

"Yeah I could have, and then I could also have gotten my coat caught
on the trellis climbing the balcony and risk not seeing you. Hey, let
Jeff in Amy come on!" Matt said after he had sat down on the couch and
Amy had situated herself on him.

"No!" Amy said, making herself comfortable, as she nuzzled Matt's neck
inhaling his familiar scent.

Corinne stood up from the bed and let Jeff inside. He gratefully said
thank you and they both stood near the door, just staring at each
other.

"Oh great, like this isn't awkward," Corinne thought inwardly.

"Hey guys," Amy yelled, "close the friggin door, you're letting cold
air in!"

Jeff and Corinne walked inside. "Umm, did you guys actually have to
climb the balcony? I mean I really think that if you had just asked
Shane he would have let y'all visit." Corinne said as Jeff and her sat
on either side of the bed while Matt and Amy cuddled on the couch.

"Yeah I know, but Matt over there thought it would be more romantic if
he climbed the balcony for Amy. I swear Amy, the things you make my
brother do! He used to be normal."

"Awww...you really did that for me? That's soo sweet!" And they
started kissing, completely forgetting that there were two other
people in the room with them.
