Jeff quickly unlocked the door to his hotel, slammed the door closed behind him and bolted for the phone. He'd been back with the WWE just two weeks and today he had been told that Rhiannon was definitely being brought into the company. Victoria had seriously injured her knee in a match with Jacqueline a few days beforehand and needed a reconstruction. Management had decided that they needed to bring in someone new and wanted to take a chance on Rhian.
He sat, tapping his fingers anxiously on the bedside drawers, while the phone rang...and rang...and rang. He was about to hang up when a sleepy voice greeted him on the other end.
"Rhian?"
"Jeff? It's 12am, what -"
"You got in! They want you to start next week!" There was silence on the other end, and he could almost see her chewing her lip in confusion. "You there?"
"Jeff, what are you talking about?"
"You've got your chance, sweetie. You'll be a WWE employee starting next week."
"You're messing with me, aren't you?" He could hear her voice trembling and had to laugh.
"Would I really do that? I know how much this means to you, Rhian. You'll get to see your niece next week."
"Oh my god! Are you serious?"
"YES! Why do you think I called? I wanted you to hear it from me first so that you're prepared when they tell you."
"When did you find out?" He could hear her jumping up and down in the kitchen and had to stop himself from laughing again.
"Today. It's a definite Rhian, you're in!" He could hear her starting to hyperventilate. "Honey, breathe!"
"I'm trying!" She managed to squeak out. "I can't believe this, Jeff. I'm just so...argh!"
"I know, which is why I thought I should tell you first."
"Thank you...I just...thank you so much!" She was crying now and Jeff smiled.
"Hey, you did all this yourself, you have nothing to thank me for dear. It's late, as you pointed out earlier, you should get some sleep."
"Like I could sleep now."
"Try. I'll see you next week. Give me a call and we can organise to meet up when you start."
"Okay, thanks hun. I'll see you soon, then."
Thanks for the reviews, guys! I'm glad Rhiannon didn't bug you last chapter...I don't know what it was last chapter that annoyed me, I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I'm glad you all liked it. And I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but I don't think I could have made it much longer. lol
I'll be back soon with another update!
