Chapter 10
"Oh god. I'm so mad. I can't believe that asshole professor of mine
scheduled this test tomorrow. Now I can't go to the show!" Corinne
said on the phone to Amy. "I'm really sorry Aims, how long will you
guys be in Chicago?"
"Tonight and tomorrow. Come tomorrow. Jeff will be really, really
upset, he was really looking forward to seeing you."
"I know I was really looking forward to seeing all of you guys. And
that's why I won't call him, because I know he'll be able to convince
me to just screw the test which I obviously can't so could you just
tell him why I couldn't come. I'll try to come tomorrow but no
promises."
"Ok, sure but first you've got to tell me what's up with you guys?"
Amy asked. She was alone in the girl's locker room brushing her hair
when she had received the call from Corinne on her cell.
"Nothing. A lot of phone conversations. But that's it. I feel like
he's one of my best friends now."
"Yep, best friends with whom you are majorly attracted to."
"No, it's not even like that. I just feel really comfortable with
him."
"Well that's good. Jeff needs someone else to talk to other than Matt
and me. I always feel bad because I know we leave him out sometimes. I
can't help that. I'm not into that whole being shared between brothers
thang," Amy said laughingly. "Ooh, crap look at the time. Listen hun I
gotta go over my lines for tonight. I'll talk to you later ok? Oh no,
you have to study. Well call me tomorrow. Bye."
Amy finished fixing her hair and grabbed her script to read over when
a knock came on the door.
"Come in," She said. Matt and Jeff walked in with their hands covering
their eyes.
"Is everyone kosher?" Jeff asked.
"Yes. I'm the only one in here." She responded.
"Oh no! Definitely NOT KOSHER. AHHH. I'm melting." Jeff said.
"Oh shut up Jeff." Matt hit him over the head, and then sat down next
to Amy.
"Hey, Aims, where's Corinne. It's almost showtime. She should be here
by now, but she hasn't called me yet. You don't think something
happened do you?" Jeff said.
"Oh, yeah I actually just got off the phone with her. She can't come."
"Why not?" Jeff said incredulously.
"She has a huge test. She wanted me to tell you because she said that
you'd be able to convince her to screw the test over."
"Hey, that's not true." Jeff said.
"Yeah, right. All you've been talking about since yesterday was you
were going to see her for the first time in almost a month. Don't lie
and say that you wouldn't have tried to convince her to come
regardless of the test." Matt said.
"Oh well whatever, No I wouldn't. Let me call her." He said.
"No way, dude, she's studying. She said she'll call you later." Amy
said. Jeff pouted and sulked. He had really been looking forward to
seeing Corinne again. Now that he had gotten to know her even more, he
knew he definitely wanted to start something with her.
The show went fine. No spots were missed and Amy nailed her interview.
Just as they were about to leave for the night, Stephanie came into
the dressing room to talk with Jeff and Matt.
"Hey guys. Now I know you know that in the next few months, I'll be
wrapping up my role here. I had an idea about a story line that I
wanted to run by you. Especially you Jeff."
"Uh, sure Steph. What is it?"
"Well, you're still one of our top baby faces, and with Jericho and
Benoit involved with other things, I just thought this would work with
you. Remember a few years back, you gave me that twist of fate after
Lita and Matt got beat up?"
"Yeah? What about it?"
"Well, here's the deal. The way that I was gonna be written off was
that my personal assistant, who at this time is non-existent but we're
looking at a few talents. We should be ready with one tomorrow." Steph
paused in her thought.
"Oh, man, when you said personal assistant I thought you meant
Corinne." Jeff said.
"Oh, no. Cori isn't a wrestler, and whoever does this role would have
to be somewhat experienced. Cause the way that we'll do this is that
you and her will be together. She'll be introduced as a heel, who is
following everything I tell her to do. She will be introduced to you
and you will immediately develop feelings for her. But she's a heel so
people will think she's only using you. I was thinking that maybe I'll
catch HHH staring at her or something and I'll get mad. And she'll say
something like oh no, I don't like your husband. I'm completely loyal
to you Steph. But I won't believe both of them. I decide to kill three
birds with one stone. I'll get revenge for what you did to me, and to
prove her loyalty to me, I'm gonna make HHH beat you up and she will
watch, and in turn HHH will prove that he loves me so much that he
would do this for me."
"Wow, this sounds really involved." Matt said.
"Yep, this is a lot of acting Jeff." Steph said, "Is that ok?"
" Well I'll give it a go. So then what else happens?"
"Then as he's beating you up. We're gonna show that my assistant will
freak because she didn't expect it, and she'll come out and hit HHH
with a chair or something. And we'll make sure that Matt and Lita will
be injured or something so that this will all work out. Anyways,
what'll happen will be that she will challenge me to a match and if I
lose she gets my portion of the company and I can never come back. Now
throughout all of this, this girl will be soaking in moves from all
the wrestlers so when she finally gets her hand on me, she'll know all
of the moves and it'll look like she was always good the whole time.
Then she'll be the baby face and Paul will be left to defend my honor.
Well what do you think?"
"Wow. That sounds awesome. Did you come up with that Steph?" Jeff
asked.
"Actually Corinne came up with most of it. She never actually said
that you should play the role but she hinted at it enough that I got
the drift that you should play it."
Jeff smiled. "Well Steph, we should go. We'll see ya tomorrow." Matt
said, and pulled his brother with him out the door.
"Oh god. I'm so mad. I can't believe that asshole professor of mine
scheduled this test tomorrow. Now I can't go to the show!" Corinne
said on the phone to Amy. "I'm really sorry Aims, how long will you
