Her Daughter's Father
Chapter 4
December 15th, 2010
"H-Hunter?" Lita stammered into the device, dread growing in her stomach. What would HHH want with her? How did he get her number? Before she had left the WWE they weren't exactly the best of friends. Enemies more like. Nerves nipped at her as she waited for a reply.
"Hello, Lita," his very voice put her on the edge; the silky tone he used, the way he let the words roll off his tongue… Everything about this man had intimidated her; from the day they met to today, and she didn't know why. If she had to pick a ring she'd rather be in-one with Kane or one with HHH-she would pick the one with Kane. "How are you today, dear?"
Lita glanced at Jessica, making sure her daughter was sleeping as she snapped, "What do you want?"
"Testy, are we?" even over the phone, she could see his lips upturning in a smirk. "I'm just making this call out of courtesy, sweetheart. You see… I know about you and Chris."
Lita's heart pounded in her chest, but she swallowed and pushed it away. He couldn't possibly know! "Know about me and Chris? Me and Chris what exactly? Hunter, you've got to make more sense because I have no clue what you're talking about."
"Stop playing dumb, Li," her blood boiled at the use of her nickname that only her friends used for her. "It really doesn't suit you. If you believe that I'm bluffing about knowing something, then let me say it for you. In one word, Tara. You and Chris slept together. Tara isn't Matt's. She's Chris's."
"You can't prove that," her voice was defensive.
"Oh, yes I can. I have the tapes from the hotel that night. Chris Jericho left your hotel room in the early morning after coming in late at night."
"You don't seem to remember that that was the night I had walked in on Matt and Dawn…" she didn't elaborate on what exactly the two were doing. "Chris consoled me. He's a great friend, and nothing more, all right?"
"Nothing more than a one-night-stand to you," he sneered. Lita winced at the harshness of his words. 'No… It's not true.' "The hotel tape is only part of my evidence, dearest. I got all of the files on your pregnancy and looked at the times. You and Matt got together 3 weeks after the 'incident' as you two seem to refer to it now. I asked a doctor about the time when you would've had to hit the sack with a guy. He pinpointed it to within a week—the week included the day when you and Chris were together. Dr. Raja was certain that it was in that week. It couldn't have been 2 weeks off. So, even if there is the most remote possibility that it isn't Chris's… It certainly isn't Matt's."
Lita clutched the phone, and snarled, "Her name is Tara, not it. Believe what you want to believe about how she was conceived, but I don't give a damn about what you think Hunter."
HHH simply laughed in response. "You will, Lita…You will…" Lita slammed her thumb down on the 'End' button, and set her phone in the cup holder.
She was still on edge when they entered the airport. What had Hunter meant, on her caring about what he thought about the situation? Lita shivered, rubbing her arms.
Whatever it was, it wasn't good.
