Chapter 5: Taking A Chance
"Hello, Jeff," Stacy said coldly, not moving an inch from where she stood. "It's really nice to see you again."
Jeff walked over to her. "Stacy, hi---" He was greeted by a hard slap in the face.
"You don't even bother to call your friend and see how she's been doing? Jeez, you are one selfish bastard," she seethed angrily.
"What the fuck, Stacy? We sleep together ONE night---and only because I was drunk beyond reason, may I add---and now you're acting like you're my girlfriend or something?"
"It's not even about that anymore, Jeff, can't you see?" Hot tears rolled down both her cheeks. "Why do you think I came over to your house that afternoon? Jeff, I went all the way to North Carolina so that I could cheer you up...because...because I really care about you. I've fallen in love with you since the first time I got to know you, and my feelings only got stronger and stronger ever since. I've tried to fight them, but I can't control what my heart yearns for. I wanted to tell you...but you were smitten with Trish. I knew that scheming vixen never deserved you at all, I always knew, but it's funny how love can cloud your logic. Now your heart's in her hands once again, and there's nothing I can do about it. I just need to get one thing off my chest before you go out and save her..." She placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I love you."
Jeff stood there, speechless. Funnily enough, she was the first girl to say that to him. Not even Trish had ever told him that she loved him before.
Stacy sighed heavily. "I...I know you don't feel the same way about me, and it's perfectly alright if you--"
"Shh..." Jeff wiped the tears from her eyes. While all this was going on, Lita had just lost the match and was now beating up Trish. The blonde Diva looked towards the ramp, fully expecting Jeff to come running up to save her, and was wondering why he wasn't there yet. The crowd cheered Lita on loudly, yet Jeff remained oblivious to everything else that was going on. His hands remaining on Stacy's cheeks, his head inched closer...and closer...
It was Jay who ran down the ramp to save Trish amidst loud boos. He savaged Lita and liplocked with Trish, and as they broke the kiss to laugh at the helpless Xtreme Diva, there was a look of disappointment behind her nasty smirk. Where on earth was Jeff?
Stacy felt her insides warming up as Jeff held her in his arms and kissed her tenderly.
"Jeff..." she asked as he finally let go of her, "what about Trish?" They both looked at the TV monitor to see Jay and Trish making out on the ramp.
"I loved her once. But she's changed. She clearly doesn't need me in her life anymore. It's time I moved on...besides, I found someone better...someone who lights up my life...someone who completes me...someone who loves me. You."
He had been searching in all the wrong places. But when she finally took that chance, it all became clear to him. And now he had her in his arms...he'd finally found the missing piece.
