Danielle slowly opened her eyes that morning and the first thing she saw were a pair a piercing green eyes watching her. Jeff smiled as a felt a little embarrassed he had been caught watching her sleep.
"Morning" Jeff replied not breaking eye contact with her.
"Morning" Danielle replied back as she noticed they had fallen asleep in the living room. She was not one to admit things right away but she liked the feeling of laying there in Jeff's arms. "Were you watching me sleep?"
"Sorry you just look so peaceful and beautiful laying there sleeping" Jeff answered as Danielle felt herself blush but let out a small smile inside.
"Oh" Danielle replied not looking back at Jeff but instead getting up off the couch and going over to open the shades to let the sunshine in. Jeff got off the couch and walked over to Danielle and turned her to face him. Jeff then took his hand and lifted her chin up to look into her eyes.
"Don't be scared to look at me, I'm not gonna bite you. Well at least not yet" Jeff joked as Danielle smiled letting her guard down and nodded.
"Well lets go get something to eat and see what there is for" Danielle paused and looked over at the clock that read 12:30, "Lunch" Jeff nodded as they both went into the kitchen staying close to each other. As they reached the kitchen they saw a note lying on the counter. Jeff picked it up and read it out loud.
"Danielle and Jeff, Thought I would give you two some time alone, went to visit my parents and some friends for the day be back later tonight, Have fun. Later, Rob." Jeff looked at Danielle and made a face that made Danielle laugh.
"Well how about we go out to lunch in town, my treat" Jeff replied as he put an arm over her shoulder.
"Sounds good to me" Danielle answered as they both went upstairs and got ready. About an hour later they were both ready heading out to Danielle's car.
"Throw the keys my way" Jeff replied from the walkway, "I'll drive"
"Ok" Danielle agreed as she threw the keys over to Jeff. As Jeff caught them he got in the car with Danielle and they made their way into town while Danielle let him know where to go.
"This is a real beautiful town" Jeff told her as Danielle turned from the window to look at him.
"Yea it's a great town to grow up in" Danielle agreed as Jeff moved his right hand and took her hand in his. They were quiet the rest of the way there except for Danielle giving him directions. Danielle was lost in her thoughts trying to think what was going on between her and Jeff.
"Hey is this the restaurant?" Jeff asked coming up to one.
"Yea you can park over there" Danielle replied as Jeff nodded and did that. Danielle was about to open her car door when Jeff stopped her.
"Nope don't touch that door" Jeff answered as he let go of her hand and ran to the other side of the car opening the door for her. Danielle smiled as he shut the door and took her hand in his again. "Thanks"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kyle isn't that Danielle over there holding hands with" Todd began as Kyle finished his sentence for him.
"Jeff Hardy" Kyle replied as he watched them come towards the restaurant. Kyle motioned for Todd to move to a table in the back where they wouldn't be able to see them.
"Your not gonna say hi?" Todd asked confused.
"No, I wanna see what's going on here" Kyle told him feeling anger and jealousy come over him seeing them walking hand in hand.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Danielle slid in the booth the waitress lead them to as Jeff slid in next to her. The waitress then handed them some menus and let them know she would be right back to take their order.
"I Hope nobody mobs us, because I would like to have a nice lunch with you" Jeff answered as Danielle turned to look at him.
"Nah I don't think nobody will notice from where we are sitting." Danielle answered as Jeff nodded and they both looked at their menus deciding on what they wanted to eat. The waitress soon came back and they let her know their orders.
"You know it's nice to be sitting in here with you. I haven't done anything like this in a long time, usually when I have days off I go home and just hang out with the guys" Jeff answered as Danielle leaned in and laid her head against his shoulder. Jeff then took the move and put his arm up around her so she could lean on him closer.
"Yea, I have to admit it is nice to talk to somebody. I haven't really just liked talked so much with anybody since my brother. It seems like we understand each other" Danielle replied softly with a small sigh. Jeff rubbed his hand through her hair as she let a tear fall down her face.
"Shh it's gonna be alright" Jeff told her as he wiped the tear away, "I would certainly like to get to know you better that's for sure. When you feel like you need to talk all you have to do is call my cell phone, I'll give you the number before I leave" Danielle nodded and replied "Thanks, that really means a lot"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Who the hell does Jeff Hardy think he is making moves like that on my girl" Kyle replied out of jealously as he continued to watch them. Todd just shook his head; he knew Kyle always had a thing for Danielle.
"Danielle can be with anybody she wants, you don't own her" Todd answered sticking up for Jeff. Kyle turned and looked at Todd and gave him a dirty look.
"Did I ask for your opinion?"
"Dude, get a life" Todd told him annoyed as he got up and left out the back door of the restaurant. Kyle rolled his eyes and got up from his table to make his way up to Danielle's table. Kyle acted like he didn't know she was there as he started to walk past their table casually.
"Kyle, hey come back here. Your not gonna say hi?" Danielle called as her and Jeff moved out of their closeness and back to normal. Kyle turned back around with a grin on his face.
"Oh hey Danielle, sorry I didn't even notice you were here"
"What are you doing here?" Danielle asked as Kyle stood there staring into her eyes. Jeff saw the way he was looking at her and wondered about what he was to Danielle.
"I was here to meet a friend but he didn't show up, so I'm just heading home to get something to eat instead" Kyle told her hoping she would offer for him to join them.
"Hey man, well how about you join us" Jeff answered as Kyle looked at him.
"Yea sure, thanks" Kyle replied as he sat down.
"Ok cool, well Jeff this is Kyle, and Kyle this is Jeff" Danielle answered introducing them. Jeff put his hand out to be shook as Kyle returned with a nice to meet you. Kyle could feel they were holding hands underneath the table as he sat there.
"Well if you too would excuse me I have to go to the ladies room for a moment" Danielle told them as Jeff let her out of the booth and then sat back down.
"So, how long have you known Danielle?" Jeff asked trying to make a conversation up.
"Look buddy I have known Danielle my entire life and if you think your gonna have Danielle then you have a whole lot coming towards yourself. Don't even think about taking your relationship with Danielle any further or I warn you, you'll regret it" Kyle hissed out angrily as he got up and left the restaurant. Jeff sat there in a little bit of shock, here he was just being nice to the guy and he totally lashed out on him. He just shook his head as the waitress brought their food over to them.
"Hey" Danielle replied as Jeff got up to let her in and then sat down next to her, "Where did Kyle go?"
"I don't know. He just gave me this speech on how I better not make a move on you or I'll regret it, and then just left" Jeff told her honestly. Danielle looked at Jeff with a confused look.
"You're talking about Kyle right?" Danielle asked as she never heard Kyle act like that before.
"Yea I wouldn't lie to you" Jeff answered as he looked straight into her eyes to let her know he was telling her the truth. Danielle nodded as she started to eat her food still confused on what happened. Jeff did the same as well as they remained quiet as they ate. Jeff then carefully went and paid for the meal trying not to get noticed before they snuck out the back door and headed back for Danielle's house.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey Rob" Kyle called from across the street in his yard as he saw Rob coming out of his parent's house. Rob looked over and smiled noticing who it was.
"Kyle, hey man. Wow, long time no see. How have you been?" Rob replied coming up to Kyle in his driveway.
"Pretty good. Congratulations on all the success you've got in the WWE, its awesome man." Kyle told him as he shook his hand.
"That's good. Thanks, yea it's been a dream come true" Rob told him.
"Oh hey, while I have you alone come on in my house, I have something for ya, whatever you do don't tell Danielle" Kyle began as Rob nodded and followed him into his living room as Kyle handed him over 2 tapes.
"So why can't I tell Danielle? What is this about?" Rob asked confused.
"Well you probably don't know that she is still wrestling, do you?" Kyle asked.
"She is?" Rob asked surprised, "Who is she wrestling for?"
"That's the thing she isn't, she has a ring in her garage and has this one guy she practices with like 24/7. She hasn't wrestled in front of anybody for 2 years now. She's afraid of being let down when she doesn't make it in the WWE and doesn't want to disappoint her brother. I snuck these tapes out of her garage when I heard that you would be here visiting. She records all her practices. She's got a whole shelf full of tapes" Kyle explained to him as Rob stood there a little shock hearing all this.
"Damn, I didn't know all this" Rob replied feeling bad for not seeing her since her brother passed away. "I will defiantly take these tapes and see what I can do"
"Thanks man. Maybe you should just start talking about wrestling with her and see if she will say she is wrestling. We have to try to get her wrestling in front of people again so then maybe she'll have that chance of getting into the WWE" Kyle told him as Rob agreed.
"Thanks for letting me know about this, yea I'll make sure to try to get her to open up a little more and mention it to Jeff too. Jeff Hardy came along and they have been getting along pretty good" Rob answered as Kyle nodded trying to act cool about Jeff. "Well I have other people to visit so I should get going, nice to see you again though Kyle"
"Nice to see you again too, later Rob" Kyle replied as Rob left getting back into his car and taking off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was later that night when Rob came walking into the house and greeted Danielle and Jeff in the jacuzzi.
"Hey" Rob replied sitting down a book bag, "Mind if I join, long day"
"Sure come on in" Danielle replied as Jeff agreed as well. Rob went upstairs taking his book bag with him to go change into some shorts. While Rob was upstairs Jeff held up Danielle's hand that he was holding on to and kissed her hand softly. Danielle felt herself blush a little as she smiled. They then heard Rob coming down the stairs and they both let go of each others hand and acted like nothing was going on.
"Back" Rob answered as he got in the other side of the jacuzzi.
"So how was your day?" Danielle asked as she let out a small yawn.
"It was pretty good, seeing everybody again was nice. Oh yea I ran into Kyle too, I didn't know he still lived across the street from my parents" Rob replied.
"Oh yea? Was he alright? Because, he was hanging out with Jeff and me but when I left to go to the bathroom I guess he was a jerk to Jeff and left." Danielle questioned him.
"Hmmm, he seemed fine to me. He also told me something I didn't know you were still doing" Rob told her as Danielle looked confused but then felt like she knew what he was talking about. She knew she couldn't hide it for long because she was going to take Ethan to Raw with her and he would slip up for sure.
"Yea, I am still wrestling just not for anyone. I have a ring in my garage and practice with a friend of mine that you'll meet tomorrow when we go to Raw" Danielle confessed feeling a little relieved. Jeff turned and looked at Danielle surprised.
"Yes, Kyle told me all about it" Rob answered back as he gave Jeff a look that said he needed time to talk to Danielle alone.
"Well I'm gonna go upstairs and get ready for bed, see you guys a bit later" Jeff replied as he gave Danielle one last look and got out of the jacuzzi grabbing a towel nearby. Rob waited until Jeff was gone and spoke up again.
"I should have kept in better contact with you Danielle, I'm sorry." Rob began, "Andy was one of my best friends and you two were like family to me, heck I felt like you were the sister I never had. Kyle told me the whole story. Chickity I know you're still hurting and feeling alone. I want you to know that whenever you need someone to talk to I'm here for you. We're gonna have to work on getting you to wrestle in front of people again too."
"Thanks Rob" Danielle softly replied as tears began to fall, "I've really missed you, I always thought of you like a brother" Rob looked at her very serious and moved over to give her a hug and then she broke apart to talk again after she finally controlled her tears.
"I know I have been hiding wrestling these couple years, but after talking to people finally and getting it out, I really want to live my brother's dream for him" Danielle told him.
"Good, and don't you ever think that Andy would be disappointed in you, because he loved you so much and was always so proud of you" Rob answered as they both decided to get out each wrapping a towel around themselves.
"Thanks" Danielle spoke as Rob looked up remembering about a subject he had been meaning to talk to her about.
"You know I want the best for you. I sense you and Jeff have been getting close that's why I left today to give you two some time alone. Everybody may think he's a little weird but the fact is Jeff's a really good guy and I would know he would never try to hurt you, just take things slow. I don't want you to get hurt by anyone" Rob told her as he said goodnight and headed up to his room. Danielle stood there for a moment and thought about what he just said. She then turned all the lights off and locked the doors before she headed upstairs to her bedroom. When she got into her room she dried off and changed into her pajamas. She walked over and sat down on her bed letting a sigh out as she sat there thinking for a moment again. After she broke out of her thoughts she got up and left her room heading for the room Jeff was in.
"Jeff? You still awake?" Danielle asked softly opening his door to a pitch dark room.
"Yea I'm awake" Jeff replied back a few seconds later as Danielle made her way over to the bed.
"Can I get it?" Danielle questioned as Jeff took her hand and lifted the covers up for her.
"Can you hold me?" Danielle whispered as she got in the bed next to him. She felt so lonely and felt something safe with Jeff. Jeff immediately embraced her in his arms and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'm here" Jeff whispered back to her as he moved his fingers up and down her stomach to comfort her and waited for her to fall asleep before he did himself.
"Morning" Jeff replied not breaking eye contact with her.
"Morning" Danielle replied back as she noticed they had fallen asleep in the living room. She was not one to admit things right away but she liked the feeling of laying there in Jeff's arms. "Were you watching me sleep?"
"Sorry you just look so peaceful and beautiful laying there sleeping" Jeff answered as Danielle felt herself blush but let out a small smile inside.
