**Thank you so much!! I'm sorry this took so long, but I came down with a
nasty case of the flu, and I saved this at work, but not at home. Today is
my first day back to work. Please continue to read and review!**
The Next Day.
Shane walked through the halls of the arena and found Matt in the locker room. "Hey, here's your cell phone." He said handing it to him.
"Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'll call Steph so she knows she doesn't need to check the messages anymore." Matt said taking it and turning it on.
"Oh yeah, Steph said she wanted me to tell you to call her when you got it. She didn't say what about, but I would give her a call." Shane replied.
"Alright, I will. Thanks again." Matt said turning back to his bag. He grabbed his jacket, and headed outside to call Steph.
Steph was on her way out of the hotel. She and the Raw divas had lunch plans. It was going to be part fun and part business. Just the way they liked it. She was backing out of her parking spot when her cell phone rang. She glanced down and seen on the caller id that it was Matt's cell phone. "Hello?"
"Hey baby doll. It's Matt, Shane just gave me my phone. You wanted to talk?" Matt said as he paced back and forth.
"Yeah, I checked your messages. Your dad wants you to call him, and then there are two on phone that I saved. I thought we could listen to them together." Steph said trying not to show her anger yet.
"Alright, do you want me to conference it in or do you want to?" Matt asked.
"I'm driving, could you?" Steph asked harshly.
"Sure, no prob." Matt replied sounding a little confused. He wondered why Steph sounded so stiff. He conferenced in the voice mail and typed in the code. There was the message from Amy. He groaned to himself. He knew Amy's intentions were good, but on the phone it sounded really bad. "Honey, it sounds worse than she means. It's not like I would spend the night or anything." Matt started to explain.
"It sounds like she's planning on you spending the weekend since I'm going to be out of the country." Steph shot back. "But I trust you, so that's not what I'm really worried about. Amy told me that she's happy for us, and she hopes all works out, so you don't have to worry about that one. Play the next one."
Matt deleted Amy's and played the last saved message. He didn't pay attention until Jeff began to tease about what he had overheard. Matt groaned outloud this time, and Steph didn't let him get any further than that.
"I can't believe you told him! Why would you tell him?" Steph yelled.
"Now Steph, I didn't tell him anything, he came up to the bedroom door and overheard. Now he's teasing me about it. It has nothing to do with you." Matt tried to explain but Steph wouldn't have any of it.
"How can you even say it has nothing to do with me when I'M the one he's quoting. Now what? Now he's going to hang that over us forever?" Steph fumed.
No, and you know he's not like that. He was just having a good time. I didn't think you would hear him." Matt started to counter, but Steph interrupted.
"You didn't think I would HEAR him?? Are you telling me that you think that it's ok that he mocks us like this? Did you tell him it was ok?" Steph yelled angrily.
Matt sighed he knew he dug himself a hole. "Look, he brought it up when we were all at your house. I told him that he had better not let you catch him doing that because you were sensitive about it. I thought he wouldn't bring it up again, I didn't think that he would leave me a message. I'm sorry. Steph, it's not my fault. Maybe you should just ignore it." Matt said trying not to raise his voice, but he was straining. He thought that she needed to lighten up, it wasn't that big of a deal, and Steph was treating it like Jeff had taped them and now there was a Stephanie McMahon sex tape out there.
"IGNORE IT? You want me just to ignore the fact that Jeff calls you harassing you about OUR sex life? How in the hell would you like me to do that?" Stephanie yelled. By now she was so angry, she couldn't help but let it all out.
"Steph, you need to lighten up. IF today is the day to question about silly things, how come you never told me that you left the party with John Cena?" Matt shot back at her.
"He gave me a ride to the airport, what's the big deal?" Steph asked.
"Well, everyone around here said that you two were hugging and practically snuggling at the airport. What's going on there?" Matt fired back. Two could play at this game. He was just going to let it go, but if she wanted to get all bent out of shape out of something little, then he would too."
"John was there for me. I cried on his shoulder because I didn't know where you and I were going to end up. He drove me to the airport because he didn't want me walking to town." Stephanie replied angrily. "Look, normally my support person is Kurt. One day, John said that he knew that Kurt and I were close, and if I ever needed someone, he's there for me, and he's proved that to be true. We're just friends." Steph stressed to him.
"Steph, I don't want to argue, especially over the phone. So let's just settle this. I'll talk to Jeff, but you need to realize that he was playing around and not attacking." Matt said sternly.
"Fine. I'll see you later today. I won't be getting there till closer to show time." Steph replied.
"Alright, I'll see you when you get here." Matt replied flatly and hung up the phone.
Steph pulled in and parked in the restaurant's driveway. She got out and slammed her door shut. "Oooh.he makes me so mad sometimes." She grumbled to herself as she walked in to find the rest of the girls.
Matt hung up and headed off to the gym to workout his frustrations. "Why does love have to be so hard?" He grumbled. Then he stopped and went back to his phone and called Amy. He left her a voicemail saying that yes he would DEFINITELY be there for the movie marathon. He threw his phone back in his bag and headed off to the gym.
