Chapter 27
"So what exactly does this mean...."? Jeff began.
Corinne looked up but couldn't see his eyes since he had bent his head
down and looked straight at the ground.
"Jeff...I know we said that we wouldn't start anything..."
"Yeah?"
"Well, I don't know if that's what I want anymore..."
"You mean...you want to be with me?" Jeff interrupted, finally looking
up for the first time since being left alone with her.
Before Corinne could answer Matt and Amy interrupted them.
"What the hell was that? What are you guys doing?" Both said
simultaneously.
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO WAIT!"
"Whoa, calm down Matt," Jeff said.
"Ames, relax." Corinne answered at the same time.
"Well will someone tell me what the hell is going on here?" Vince
said, coming out of the shadows.
"Vince!" Jeff, Matt, Corinne, and Amy said in chorus.
"Well? What is going on here? Why was your mouth on her lips? And
Corinne what on earth were you think..." Vince continued heatedly.
"The thing is Vince, that Jeff...Jeff and I are together." Corinne
said, reaching quickly for Jeff's hand.
Three pairs of eyes and three mouths dropped in shock.
Corinne's heart pounded in her chest as she wondered what Jeff was
thinking. Wondering what he would say or do in the span of thirty
seconds that silence invaded the room. She gasped as Jeff pulled her
hand up to his mouth, kissed it and pulled her close to his side.
"I'm sorry it was a shock to all of you but it's a sort of a, umm, a
new development." Jeff began.
"I'd say," Matt said eliciting a harsh glare from Jeff.
"But we are definitely together." Jeff continued.
"Well...then I guess...ummm" for the first time since Corinne had met
him, Vince was without words. "I guess you should go and get ready for
the next shot and Corinne, I want to talk to you later." He said,
walking away from them just as Stephanie and Paul returned with a
cameraman.
"Is everything settled?" Stephanie asked, smiling at Corinne and
Jeff's held hands.
"Yes, it's all settled, Corinne and Jeff are officially together," Amy
said resignedly, shaking her head as though accepting the fact that
she would never understand what was really going on.
"Oh, really...cause you know that little P.D.A we just witnessed
totally pointed to the other direction," Paul said sarcastically.
"Shut up Paul," Amy yelled before Matt pulled her away to allow the
shoot to finish.
"You better go too Jeff," Corinne said, pulling her hand out of his
grasp.
"Yeah, I'll wait for you in the locker room."
"Okay," She smiled as he quickly bent down, stole another kiss and
then ran after his brother and Amy.
"Weeeeelllll...someone's happy today." Stephanie smiled at the dreamy
expression on Corinne's face.
"Yeah, so...let's finish the shoot."
"1, 2, 3, Camera Go!"
"I'm so sorry Stephanie. That was a mistake."
"Oh, that's fine. But just so you know tonight, there will be a match
between my husband, HHH, and your little boyfriend, Jeff Hardy. Oh
because what is today? The anniversary of that time that, that moron
Jeff Hardy decided to give ME the twist of fate. Well, we'll see how
he performs tonight, what with little old' you at ringside, oh and
just for fun, I'm making it no DQ." Stephanie smirked as the cameras
went off.
"Okay, so that's the main event for tonight. Umm you know what's going
to happen right? I'm really sorry about the whole shirt-ripping thing
but it adds drama. I couldn't get the writers off my ass on it."
"It's all right. Umm, I have to go talk to Jeff. I'll see you later."
Corinne said before turning away from Stephanie and Paul.
