Jeff woke up finding it difficult to breathe, then he remembered why he couldn't breathe, and Lita was sleeping on top of him. She looked so peaceful sleeping; he just wanted to kiss her all over.

'What's stopping you?' a little voice urged. ' The chance she might wake up is one,' Jeff thought to the voice.

'Aw c'mon are ya chicken? Do it...she's a heavy sleeper she won't know nothin!' the voice said sounding annoyed.

Jeff just looked at the sleeping woman in his arms. Her lips were full and almost pouting, her fiery red hair was sprawled all over his chest and over some of her face. Carefully Jeff moved the hair behind her ear and stroked her cheek.

Lita grunted and snuggled closer to Jeff, this caused him to smile. C'mon man you're gonna miss your chance and you'll never know what her lips feel like!' that annoying little voice coaxed.

Jeff rolled his eyes and sighed, he wanted to kiss her, but he didn't want her to wake and run away from him. After much thought he finally placed his lips against hers, softly. He could have sworn her felt her return that kiss.

Quickly he pulled away and looked at her still sleeping form. Just thinking about her returning his kiss drove him crazy; he'd wanted Lita for so long it hurt. But Matt had had her and didn't even care.

Without thinking about it any longer Jeff placed his lips to hers again, this time a little harder than before. And this time he *knew* she had returned the kiss, but she was still sleeping.

Again Jeff pulled back and looked at her sleeping form. "Lita if only you knew what you did to me." He whispered to her.

-

While Lita slept she had a dream that was unlike any other dream she'd ever had about man that wasn't Matt.

~*~ HER DREAM ~*~

Lita and Jeff were back in the car stranded; she was still pissed off at him for not brining the cell phones. "I can't believe you did that Jeff!" she growled.

"It's not my fault, you could have grabbed them too ya know," he replied angrily.

"Well Jeffrey, I was too busy making sure we had the room key, and then I asked if you had the cell phone, you nodded damnit, when you nod that means- -,"

She was cut off by his lips crashing down on hers for a hard kiss. The kiss was so sudden that she couldn't breath she didn't dare. When he broke away he was grinning sheepishly. "I didn't know how else to shut ya up," he said softly.

"Shut me up again," she whispered.

Jeff didn't hesitate a minute longer, he place his lips on hers again, gentler than last time. Lita's eyes fluttered closed and she wrapped her arms around his neck, his lips felt so good against hers, soft and smooth so unlike Matt's. She ran her fingers through Jeff's long multicolored hair and ran her tongue over his lips.

After several seconds he parted his lips letting her tongue enter his mouth. Lita propped herself on her knees and pushed Jeff against the door. She planted hot open mouth kisses on his neck, a groan escaped from his lips. Her mouth then moved back to his.

"You taste so sweet Lita," Jeff murmured against her lips. His words only encouraged her to proceed further. She lifted his shirt and planted kissing across his chest and abdomen nipping him with her teeth lightly. "You're not so bad yourself," she whispered huskily.

"Lita," he moaned "Lita...Lita?"

~*~END OF DREAM~*~

Lita's eyes popped open and she stared down into a pair of hazel eyes. "Lita sweetie you were mumbling and groaning, were you having a bad dream?" he asked moving hair out of her face.

She looked down at him and then it hit her...she was still on top of him. "Oh um, sorry I well, I didn't--,"

Jeff couldn't help but laugh she looked so darn cute babbling like that. "It's okay, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to," he said kissing her head.

Lita shivered under his kiss...but not in a bad way, which *was* bad. "I just had a weird dream that's all...um, did you hear me say anything?" she said crossing her fingers.

"Yeah actually," her heart froze, "you were bitchin' and moanin'about them damn cell phones."

Lita let out the breath which she had been holding and thanked anyone she could think of. "Good, good, so how long have you been watching me sleep?" she asked with a playful wink.

"Hey I wouldn't do that!" he countered too quickly and too loudly.

"Geez Jeff it's called a joke lighten up," she slapped his chest playfully.

Neither of them acknowledged the fact that Lita still hadn't gotten up from on top of Jeff, they just carried on the conversation like they were sitting right next to each other. In their minds they were thinking something totally different.

-

When Monday came Lita was a wreck, all she did was worry that day, and she had a good reason to worry too. Matt would be there and after Jeff's last encounter with him he wouldn't be too happy, he'd be on a rampage.

Just then the arena door opened and slammed closed with such a force Lita thought the place was going to collapse. She whipped her head around to see Chris stamping down the hallway. "What's the matter with you?" Lita asked walking beside him.

"Women I swear they're nothing but trouble...oh, uh sorry Red, it's just me and Stephanie are having a disagreement."

"What about?"

"She doesn't want to see me...she says that the past week has been a mistake and all that other bullshit!" he shouted walking into his room.

Lita followed him ready to comfort him. "Aw Chris, I'm so sorry, I'm sure she's just scared."

"Lita I don't get it...I mean I thought we were happy and-and she said that she loved me, and I love her, but now it's all a mistake. Lita being with her was never a mistake it was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. I just want to hold her, be with her always." He said slumping on the sofa.

Lita embraced the man, "It'll be okay Chris, she'll realize what a mistake she made and it'll all be okay...I just know it."

"You're always so confident Red," Chris replied with a chuckle.

Lita pulled back and looked into Chris' blue eyes. "Hey, someone's gotta be."

-

Jeff walked down the hallway but he kept looking over his shoulder just in case. Always better safe than sorry right? He stopped in front of the diva's locker room when he heard crying. Thinking about it for only a second he knocked.

"Go away!" Stephanie shouted.

"Stephanie, c'mon let me in!" Jeff commanded.

"I'm not decent," she lied.

"Well get decent and let me in."

"You can't tell me what to do Hardy."

"I'm giving you to the count of three and I'm busting in."

"I told you I'm not decent damn it!"

"One..."

"Hardy I swear if you even think about it I'll kill you."

"Two..."

"Hardy don't do it, you wouldn't want to get fired just coming back."

"Three!" he said kicking the door open.

"JEFF HARDY!" Stephanie screeched.

"Hey! You're decent you liar!" he said pointing at her. "You made me do that for nothing!!"

"I said it to keep you out but NO you couldn't do that could you?" she snapped.

"Not when you're crying, I just wanted to see what was wrong."

"Well I don't need comforting so good day Jeff," she said shooing him out the door.

"Stephanie something's wrong...did you and Chris get in a fight or what?" he asked.

At the mere mention of his name the young woman broke out in tears. "Oh God Jeff...it was horrible! You should have seen the look on his face, it broke my heart, I didn't want to see that look." She sobbed falling into Jeff's arms.

"What happened?"

"I told him this week had been a mistake, I told him we wouldn't work together...but Jeff we would I don't want to see him so mad at me!"

"Well why did you say it?" Jeff asked totally confused.

"My family would never approve of us, I don't want them to disown me...not again Hunter was enough but this? I just can't I wanted to tell him but I couldn't do that either...am I a horrible person?"

"No Steph, you're not, you just got scared...everyone gets scared." He replied soothingly.

"Thanks Jeff," she replied with a sniffle.

"But if you ask me I think you should talk to him, I'll bet he's hurting just as much as you and maybe even more," he whispered.

"You know what Jeff I think you're right."

"I know I am."

-

Lita was still talking to Chris in his locker room when there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Chris said turning away from the red head.

Stephanie walked in. "Oh you're busy I'll come back later," she said turning on her heel.

"No!" Lita commanded walking over to her friend. "I was just about to leave."

Lita gave her a smile and stepped out of the room closing the door behind her. She then made her way to the diva's locker room when Molly Holly came running up to her. "Lita...it's Jeff, Matt found him!"

Lita's whole body went cold, Matt found Jeff, which meant nothing good could have happened. "Wh-what happened?" Lita cried.

"I don't know the whole story but Shane found him in the hallway...he's been beaten with a chair or something close to it...Lita he won't wake up."

"Tell me where he is!!" Lita commanded grabbing the diva by her shoulders.

"Down by the diva locker room." She replied with wide eyes. Not wasting another second Lita took off and didn't even thank Molly, she only had one thing on her mind...Jeff Hardy.
