THE NEXT MORNING
Steph and Marissa pulled up outside the spa and parked next to Linda. Steph got out of the car and took off her sunglasses and hugged Linda.
"My word, what happened to you?" Linda exclaimed.
"Well, you're seeing it when it's almost healed, it was a lot worse." Steph said with a slight laugh, "Let's go get coffee first and then we'll come back and get started."
"Ok, I'll ride with you guys." Linda said climbing in the back seat of Marissa's car.
As they were on their way to and from the coffee shop, Steph explained what happened the night she was jumped. But didn't mention Matt's name, or what she did for Christmas.
"Ok, you've explained the bad parts, but who was your knight in shining armor? And what did you do for Christmas?" Linda asked.
"Or who did you do for Christmas?" Marissa said with a smirk under her breath.
Steph heard her and slugged her in the leg, "Shut up!" Steph turned to Linda, "Well, Matt Hardy was the one who rescued me and took me to the hospital. Then, since I was unconscious he postponed his flight home to make sure that I wasn't alone when I woke up. When I did wake up, I couldn't see. My brain was swelled and it cut off my vision. So Matt stayed with me until I regained my sight and that was when my doctor said that he would discharge me, but I had to have someone stay by my side due to the severity of the concussion. So, Matt offered to bring me home with him for Christmas since I didn't have plans. And I argued first and then accepted. I spent my Christmas with Matt and Jeff's family." Steph explained.
Linda reached up and patted her arm, "Steph, I'm so sorry that no one was around for you. And I'm really touched that Matt would go out of his way for you like that."
"I know, me too. And this is what he gave me for Christmas." She said showing her the necklace.
"Steph it's beautiful." Linda exclaimed.
Steph nodded, "Thanks, I really like it. And, I got something else for Christmas."
"What's that?" Linda asked.
"Well.I got a new boyfriend. Matt and I started dating." Steph said with a smile.
"What? When did he ask you out? How many people have you guys told?" Linda asked quickly.
"Well, he asked me out on Christmas eve outside of the chuch we went to in his mom's honor. The only people who know are Shane and Marissa." Steph replied.
"Hon, I just want to ask you one thing." Linda started to say when Steph cut her off.
"Let me guess, what am I thinking?"
"No. You know me better than that." Linda said shooting her a look. "Does he make you happy?"
Steph smiled, "Yeah mom he does. I had to call him out because he was being too nervous around me, and after that he lightened up and now it's just getting to know each other better."
Marissa laughed, "Yeah he's not shy anymore."
"Hush Marissa." Steph said to her. "We're here."
And the girls filed out of the car and into the spa. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Matt had decided to fly home for a couple of days, and then he would come back to meet up with Steph and then they could hang out with Shane and Marissa.
He arrived home to find Jeff sitting on the porch of his dad's house playing his acoustic guitar. "Hey man." Matt said to him.
Jeff looked up at him, "How's it goin'?"
"It's goin' good. Really good actually." Matt said with a smile.
"Why, are you still hanging out with the bosses daughter?" Jeff said with a laugh.
"Actually I've been hanging out with my girlfriend." Matt replied matter- of-factly.
"You're girlfriend? Dude, you're lying." Jeff replied.
"I'm not lying. I'm telling you why I'm doing good." Matt said sitting down by him.
"Are you ready for something like this?" Jeff asked. "Dude, I know that you've liked her since god knows when, but this is serious."
"I know this is serious, and this is going to work, I can feel it." Matt said with a smile.
"Matt, I just want you to be careful. If this is what makes you happy, go for it. Show her what a southern man can give her that no upper-class man can." Jeff said giving Matt a light hug.
Matt smiled and hugged him back, "Thanks man. I really appreciate it. Shane's been really supportive too."
Jeff's eyes opened wide, "Shane knows? And he's ok with it? I mean I knew that he has always been cool, but I didn't know how he would react to this."
"Yeah, in a couple days I fly back out to Steph's house and the four of us are going to hang out." Matt replied.
"Dude, I wish you good luck with this one, because it's going to be one long, strange trip." Jeff said patting him on the back. He then picked up his guitar and started strumming again. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~
After the spa the ladies met up outside and were trying to decide on what to do next.
"I have to run to the office and pick up a few things to finish. I have deadlines coming up." Steph said. "I don't care when I go and get them, but I need to get them done."
"What if we all go to the office, we'll tell your dad about your new boyfriend, and then we'll all go out to dinner?" Marissa said with a smile.
"That's a splendid idea "Ris, let's go. I'll meet you there." Linda said excited. She climbed into her car, "I'll meet you guys in my office." And took off.
Steph shot Marissa a look that could have killed, "Gee thanks, now we can start planning my funeral."
Marissa just laughed and shook her head, "Steph you are so dramatic. How bad could it be?"
Steph put her head in her hands as Marissa drove them towards Titan Towers.
**Sorry the chapter is so short and took so long. We're moving and I can't find anything!! Hope everyone is enjoying this still. How will Vince react?? Please read and review! Thanks!!**
