CHAPTER 27

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I need a plan." Matt said escaping his hotel room for the first time that week and walked into Adam and Jay's. Adam and Jay looked up surprised to see the elder Hardy out of his dungeon.

"What kind of plan? What's it for?" Adam asked sitting up, hitting Jay in the leg to wake him as he started to drift off.

"Huh?!" Jay jumped.

"I can't just mope around waiting for Amy to come to her senses." He said logically and both men nodded their head. "I need to have a way to make her see what she's missing. That she can't be without me just like I can't be without her." He continued. "Since I've just been on my ass all day, she's realizing that she's not missing much. So if I go back to practice, work out again, she'll see what she's missing."

"So you think Amy only loves you...because you exercise?" Jay asked confused. He looked at Adam, seeing if he missed something but Adam just looked as confused as he was.

"No you idiots." Matt replied irritated. "Aside from working out again, I'll clean myself up and make myself useful. I'll make myself seen."

"Still not following..." Adam said sticking out his hand.

"Other girls will find me attractive!" Matt shrieked. Adam and Jay looked at each other like Matt had gone completely nuts.

"What the fuck are you trying to say?!?!? Don't try this game shit with us." Both guys nodded their heads.

Matt sighed. "I need a decoy."

"Maaattt." The guys whined still not understanding.

"If other girls find me attractive, then so will Amy." Matt said speaking slowly. "If I pay attention to those other girls and not to Amy, she'll get jealous." Matt said nodding his head. "You with me or should...I...speak...slower..." The guys rolled their eyes at him. "Good. So now...how do we start this thing?" Matt said scratching his chin.

Meanwhile, Amy was at home watching old home movies. One in particular had her watching it over and over again. It was a year ago at her last birthday. Everyone was at her house, Matt, Adam, Chris, Jay, Jeff, Beth, Trish, Dawn, Stacey, and Steph, to name a few. Jeff was behind the video cam, so obviously he taped the girls dancing with each other. Amy laughed; Jeff's commentary on the whole thing was charming. What she didn't know at the time, was he got when Matt and herself were in the kitchen. He had pulled out a ring pop, and slid it onto her ring finger. Amy beamed, it was the cutest gesture. He whispered into her ear, and Amy remember what he said as it was clear as day.

---Flashback---

"You love me right?" He whispered nuzzling the side of her face.

"Well duh!"

"So you wouldn't mind if in the future if this was a real one?" He said referring to the pink ring pop on her finger. She pulled away slightly to look at him. He was serious, but still had that boyish charming smile on his face. "Would you?"

Amy paused to think of what she would say. "What do you think?" She smiled.

"I'm taking that as a yes." Amy nodded her head. "I'll keep that in mind." He grinned before they returned to the rest of the party.

---End of Flashback---

Amy shuddered at the thought. She needed to put Matt behind her. What's done is done. She wanted to move on, but she didn't know how. The only thought that came to mind was dating again. But was it too soon?
