Danielle opened her eyes feeling very comfortable and warm as she felt someone's arms around her waist. She sighed for a second as she regretted drinking so much at the party. She looked up wondering where she was since the room and bed she was in was different. Her eyes widened as she looked to see Shane right there sleeping with his arms still around her waist.
"Oh my god" Danielle mouthed to herself not really remembering much of what happened at the party. She slowly slide out of Shane's arms and got out of bed without waking him. She tip toed out of his bedroom and grabbed some clothes in her room and headed straight for the bathroom. Moments later Shane woke up to the phone ringing by his bed. He reached over and grabbed it quickly to stop the noise of the ringing that was making his head pound worse.
"Yea?"
"Shane, you don't sound alright" Rob replied into the phone.
"Yea Danielle and I went to Matt's house last night for a party." Shane told him as he remembered about what happened between him and Danielle and looked to see she wasn't in his bed.
"Well that's what you get for drinking too much" Rob laughed lightly, "I called to ask you about when Danielle is wrestling for OMEGA."
"Umm, Saturday night. Why do you have off so you can go see her or something?" Shane asked curiously.
"Actually I have to work. If I tell you why you better not even mention a word to Danielle, ok?" Rob replied very serious.
"You know I won't if you don't want me to" Shane told him.
"Yea, well I gave JR a couple tapes of Danielle wrestling and he was really interested in seeing her in person but he doesn't want her to know that he's going to be there" Rob told him.
"Really? Wow that's great news" Shane replied thinking of all that was going on now.
"Yea I know she sure could use the news but please don't say a word. Speaking of news, is everything ok over there?" Rob asked as Shane paused for a moment and then began to tell Rob all of what had went down the day before.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey Amy!" Matt called through his house as he sat in the living room in front of his computer.
"Yea, what's up?" Amy answered coming up to Matt to see what he wanted.
"You have got to read this" He told her.
"Read what?" She asked confused.
"I'm on Shane's website. He updated his commentary a couple of days ago, go ahead and read this paragraph right here" Matt told her pointing to the part he was talking about. Amy nodded and began to read the paragraph quickly to be surprised of what she was reading.
"Wow he's falling for Danielle" Amy replied as Matt nodded.
"I would say I'm happy for Shane cause this could be his chance to finally find the person he has been looking for but it makes me wonder what Jeff would think" Matt told her as Amy agreed.
"I know he wanted to get another chance with her. Do you think Danielle knows about Shane's feelings for her?" Amy asked.
"I'm not sure but I think we should call for a party at Shane's house tonight and try to find out about them and set them up" Matt smiled.
"You really think that everybody is gonna be up for another big party, I bet they are all exhausted and have major headaches. How about just do Shane's favorite thing have dinner there and watch some movies, you know just hang out and you can party yourself all you want" Amy laughed as Matt grabbed her pulling her onto his lap. He smiled and looked deep into her eyes before kissing her on the lips.
"That sounds good. It's about time Shane gets together with somebody and all we have to do is get one of them to make a move" Matt told her.
"Hold on a second there Matt, do we even know if Danielle has feelings for Shane? You know how about I call her and go out shopping with her and you guys can all do the cooking for dinner tonight" Amy suggested.
"Mattitude can handle anything baby" Matt laughed lightly as he kissed her again as Amy pulled back laughing.
"Go call Shane and tell him all that's going on while I get ready to go pick up Danielle" Amy replied getting up off of Matt's lap.
"Yea yea, I hear ya" Matt replied getting up to go call Shane as Amy went upstairs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Danielle, can I ask you a question?" Amy asked as they stood in Hot Topic looking at some clothes.
"Sure, what is it?" Danielle answered turning to look at Amy. Amy stood there for a moment trying to think of a way how to put it.
"Umm…..Did you know that Shane has his own website?" Danielle arched her right eyebrow as soon as she heard her say that.
"Yea I've seen it before" Danielle turned away and began to look at a shirt she liked.
"Then you know…" Amy started as Danielle finished for her "That Shane is falling for me. Yea I know, I read it myself a couple of days ago."
"Has he said anything to you yet about it?" Danielle turned her attention back to Amy.
"Well not that I know of, something could have happened last night. I drank so much I don't remember last night really but I do know that I woke up in Shane's bed in his arms" Danielle confessed as Amy's eyes widened.
"You don't think you two.."
"No, I know we didn't sleep together I was still in my clothes that I wore to the party" Danielle told her.
"Do you have feelings have Shane?"
"I….Amy at this point it's just all, I dunno. Yes he's a great guy, one of the sweetest caring ones I have ever meant, but I thought I liked Jeff. At least I thought I did until I read what Shane wrote on his website, it's been driving me nuts ever since I read it" Danielle sighed as they walked out of the store and made their way over to a bench.
"Mind if you hear my input?" Amy asked. "And what's that?"
"When you and Jeff met he called me up on my cell phone and was like Amy I have never met such unique caring soul. Then you met Shane when we all went to Canada together and I know that you two got along really well cause he kept talking about you in the hotel room. Then you and Jeff had a falling out because of you know who and then your friend turned into someone you never thought he would. And who was there when all this was happening, Shane of course and he still is. He has done everything in his power to make you feel safe with this situation. I know Jeff and his ex Jess still have some unresolved problems and she's not going to let him go until everything is finished, Jeff just doesn't want to face that fact. You both agreed that right now wasn't a great time for you two to have a relationship so you shouldn't feel bad about seeing another guy. And that guy is Shane, he deserves to be happy. I hate to see him so alone all the time and I see the great mood he is always in when your around him. I would be happy if you and Shane got into a relationship and even though Matt gave you a hard time in the past, he really does think you would be a great person for Shane" Danielle looked up at Amy as she finished and got a little tear eyed.
"That was really well said. Thanks Amy" Amy reached over and gave her a hug "Your welcome, anytime you want to talk just give me a call. I really would like to become better friends with you. Just think about what I said with Shane."
"I would like that Amy, thanks. And I will take in all what you said about Shane, because I know he is such a great guy. Are you ready to head back to Shane's house?"
"Yea I'm ready but lets go get some food to bring back because I know that with all the guys there together they have probably just have been playing pool and drinking" Amy laughed knowing them too well. Danielle laughed as well as they got up and went off to get some food before leaving the mall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kyle did you see Danielle come to the party last night at Matt's?" Jessica asked as she sat there talking to him on the phone.
"I tried to get as close as I could but there were too many people outside so I didn't get to so anything that happened. She actually showed up there? So where is she staying in town?" Kyle asked.
"Well she was there with Shane Helms. I guess she has been traveling with him all this time and is staying at his house. Jeff was talking to Matt about her wrestling for OMEGA this weekend so my guess is she'll be staying in town for the weekend instead of traveling with him again."
"Good that's all I needed to know" Kyle smiled as Jessica gave him directions to where about Shane's house was.
"You better be careful, they got a sample of your blood from Jeff's break in and they are gonna have the results back soon. When they find out its you all I know is you better keep a very low profile because they will be looking everywhere for you" Jessica warned him.
"I know that's why I plan to get Danielle and get as far away from here that I can." Kyle answered as Jessica said her good bye and got off the phone with him. She sat there for a moment and silence and then spoke up to herself. "Let's just hope you don't hurt her Kyle" She was getting scared of the way he had been acting lately and was regretting everything that was doing with Shane.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Danielle, Shane, Matt, and Amy sat on the couch while Jeff and Shannon sat on the other couch later that night. As expected the guy had got playing a game of pool and drinking and last time of time and didn't get anything cooked. They all ate what Danielle and Amy brought back and then made their way to the living room where they were now watching Daredevil. Danielle really couldn't concentrate on the movie at all with all the thoughts of Shane running through her mind. Shane had been watching Danielle from the corner of his eye and so the way she was acting sitting there and thinking about something.
"Anybody want any popcorn?" Danielle asked getting up as everybody said agreed on some.
"I'll help ya make some" Shane told her as Danielle nodded and they both walked off to the kitchen together in silence. Amy and Matt both looked at each other and smiled hoping one of them would make a move.
"You know nothing happened between us last night" Shane told her as he pulled out some popcorn in a bag to put in the microwave.
"Yea" Danielle nodded as she took the popcorn and put it in the microwave and turned to look at Shane.
"What is that look for?" Shane asked walking over to her. Danielle started to get nervous as he stood next to her.
"Shane, am I the hurri-lady that you are falling for?" Danielle asked right out of the blue which made Shane blush a little.
"You read my commentary on my website I take it" Shane began as Danielle nodded, "Ok you caught me, it's just so hard not to fall for a person as great as you" Danielle let out a small smile as she could feel herself start to blush.
"Shane" Danielle began as Shane stopped her. "It's alright if you don't feel the same about it I understand it and I won't mention any of this again"
"Shane" Danielle replied being cut off by Shane again. "Really Danielle I'm fine with…" Danielle put her hand over his mouth and spoke up again planning to finish this time.
"Shane, you have nothing but sweet to me. You have done everything in your power to make me feel safe from Kyle. And you know what I have never felt as safe with anybody else; you make me forget about the Kyle problem. Throughout this all I think I have been starting to fall for you as well I just didn't want to admit it until now" She lifted her hand off his mouth and Shane smiled as he looked straight into her eyes.
"You don't know how relieved I am to hear you say that" Danielle smiled as Shane leaned in closer and met her lips with his. Danielle felt a shiver run up her spine as soon as his lips touched hers. As soon as they pulled apart from their kiss Shane pulled her into his arms and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. Danielle reached up to rest her arms around his neck as Shane leaned his forehead down against hers.
Jeff was coming back from going to the bathroom when he noticed the light on in the kitchen still; he decided to stop in to see if they needed any help. He froze at the doorway of the kitchen when he saw Danielle and Shane holding each other and kissing. His mouthed dropped in shock; all of what he thought would happen was happening now. He quietly left the kitchen going back to the living room trying to act as normal as possible.
"Oh my god" Danielle mouthed to herself not really remembering much of what happened at the party. She slowly slide out of Shane's arms and got out of bed without waking him. She tip toed out of his bedroom and grabbed some clothes in her room and headed straight for the bathroom. Moments later Shane woke up to the phone ringing by his bed.
