Chapter 7: "Another Night Together"
It's about midnight, Lita is sound asleep, but Chris has trouble getting himself comfortable. It is pitch-black inside the car, but very little light the full moon is giving him. He sits up and looks at Lita as she is curled up in a ball with her head resting on the armrest between the two front seats. Chris gazes at Lita's journal, peeking out of her duffle bag. Since he fell asleep before Lita, he figured that she wrote a new entry. He slowly leans over, stretching his arm in the back seat making sure doesn't wake her. He grabs the journal. Then he stares at it. Flipping through the pages, he stops at the current entry. He reads it.
'Today was unreal. Chris and I got into another huge argument. But we were cool again. But the thing that made me feel better was that Matt said he was sorry. I'm so excited to see him again! I'm also thrilled about being Chris's manager, too. He gave me some thought when we got into that argument. Matt does get angry over stupid shit; but he makes me laugh, and we have so much in common. Chris is really kind, also. We've gotten a lot closer. I'm having difficulty saying this.. but I have a small crush on him. Despite his stubbornness, he can be funny and cute. He loses his temper easily.. but I have to let this go. We are so different. I'm going to continue my relationship with Matt, and forget this schoolgirl crush. I'm only going to have a business relationship with Chris.'
Jericho turns the page and gets a paper cut, on the bottom corner.. it's the same exact finger he burnt earlier. He holds in his scream and replaces it with a light groan. Lita opens her eyes and sits up. She sees Chris pause, holding his finger and sees the journal on his lap. She shows a face full of shock.
"What's this?!" Lita snatches her journal. "You read this?" She holds the journal open to the page she had written earlier.
"I-It's not what it looks like.." Chris shows a cute smile. "Well.. maybe it is, but-"
"But nothing! I trusted you! I feel so embarrassed.." Lita throws the journal at Chris. It hits him in the chest. "Might as well read the rest of the fucking thing.." She blushes beet red and crosses her arms, facing the passengers window.
"Hey, no need to feel embarrassed.. to tell the truth, I kinda have a crush on you too." Chris glances at Lita, then at her journal. He picks it up and closes it. "Besides, I already read it. But I only read the parts you wrote about me. I wanted to know what you thought of me. Yeah.. I guess I am nosey. But I'm Chris Jericho, what do you expect?" He sets the journal on Lita's lap. "Sorry.."
Lita looks at Chris. "It's alright I guess." She takes the journal slowly. "If I were you, I probably would have done the same thing." She tosses it in her bag and looks at Chris oddly. "Did you say you have a crush on me?"
Chris glances at Lita and shrugs. "Yeah. Actually, I have a very large crush on you. I asked you to be my manager because once I took you back to the Hardys, I would never see or talk to you again. You would be with them all the time."
"I see.." Lita coughs lightly.
"Kinda stupid.." Chris laughs nervously and scratches the back of his head.
"I thought you said you were the sexiest man on Earth and that no girl hates you?" Lita quotes.
"You heard that, huh?" Chris laughs.
"Of course I did. You weren't that quiet about it. Just your ego, heh." Lita smiles.
"Yup. I'm the king of the world. I still think I'm the sexiest man on Earth." Chris holds Lita's hands tightly.
Chris and Lita gaze into each others eyes. Chris leans over towards Lita and kisses her. Lita breaks the kiss quickly.
Chris stares at her. "What's the matter?"
"This doesn't seem right.." Lita stares at the floor of the car, biting her bottom lip.
"Oh." Chris pauses. "It's about Matt, isn't it?" Chris removes his hands from Lita's waist and sits back in his seat. "It's alright. I understand that you still love him."
"Sorry." Lita says quietly.
"I'm cool. It's not your fault. Your heart is just telling you to love Matt- is all. Well, I'm just going back to bed. I'll see you tomorrow." Chris pulls the handle that leans the seat back. He closes his eyes.
Lita stares at Chris and sighs. "Sorry." She whispers. She lays down also.
