I didn't see Jeff again for the rest of the night, I looked for him after his match, but we both must have just missed each other I guess. The rest of the evening went pretty quickly and it wasn't long before the taping and I had spoken to Jeff Jarrett. All had to do now was wait for Jeff to be ready. I said my goodbyes to the guys and gals and went out the parking lot and lent against the trunk of my car as I waited. It wasn't long before he came out and made his way over to me.
"Hey where've you been I was looking for you…" a said as he got closer.
"No where…"
"Great matches by the way…"
"Oh so you watched then?"
"Yeah of course I did." I told him as he opened up the trunk, practically pushing me out of the way. "Jeff what's wrong?" I asked, was he pissed at me? He seemed it.
"Hey Riley!" I suddenly heard someone shout. I turn from Jeff to see Al running towards me. Oh shit, this was all I needed. "Were you going to leave without saying goodbye?"
"No of course not…"
"Riley…"
"Al don't do this now eh? I'll call you some time, I've really got to go." I told him, noticing Jeff already in the car waiting for me.
"Oh right, you and Jeff have plans tonight?"
"I'm just giving him a ride…" I lied… I hated lying.
"Oh, I'll call you then…" he said as I got into the car. I watched him walk away and then I turned to Jeff.
"Are you ready to go?" I asked.
"What was that all about?" Jeff asked, snapping his head in my direction.
"Nothing much, he was just saying goodbye…"
"Jeff had something happened, has something made you mad?" I asked eventually as I drove us home, I had been on the road for 10 minutes now and it was me who had been doing all of the talking, Jeff hadn't said a word to me.
"1 dunno, you tell me." He snapped back, those had been the first word he had said to me since we left the arena and he was yelling, oh yeah of course it was something I have done. I took my eyes from the road for less than a second to look at him; he was glaring right at me.
"Come on then, what's this about?" I sighed.
"Well if you aren't going to admit it then why do we ask the 'Phenomenal' one?"
"Oh right, so this is about Al?" I laughed sarcastically, nodding my head.
"Why didn't you tell m he had tried to kiss you Riley?"
"How do you know that?"
"Well there were two people there; you were one of them so if you didn't tell me then who the hell do you think did? He came into the locker room, I'm guessing just after it had happened, and he told me." Jeff was angry, even more so than he was earlier, I hadn't seen him like that before. "Why didn't you tell me? I gave you plenty of opportunities too when I came and found you before I had my match!"
"I don't know," I replied sheepishly, "I guess I didn't think it was that important."
"Well it is important to me! He yelled suddenly, raising his voice even louder and startling me. "I don't want other guys coming onto you like that!"
"Oh yeah?" I replied, now yelling myself, "But we don't exactly know what we're doing though do we? I don't even know what 'this' is! We've never decided that we're in a relationship!"
"Riley that's not the point and you know it, you know how much I'm into you, do you think I want to see other guys go after my girl?"
"Okay well maybe if you hadn't come up with the dumb idea of not telling anybody about what we have then Al would have known and this wouldn't have happened!"
"I just thought it might be less complicated if we kept things to ourselves for a while, while we decide what happening between ourselves."
"Oh well done then, you really proved that theory wrong didn't you!" I snapped that just as we arrived back at my place, I regretted it that was the last thing I wanted to say to him. We didn't say anything after that, everything went silent… well until I got out of the car and slammed the door closed at least. Jeff closed his door too and followed me to the door of my house.
"Actually Ri, I think I'm gonna take a walk… I'll be back later…" Jeff told me a lot quieter now, he suddenly turned more distant than he ever had with me before, I guess this really hurt him.
I sighed loudly "Fine…" I went in doors, slamming it once again behind me leaving Jeff alone under the night time sky alone. Once I had closed the door I turned around and lent against it hard with my back, I slid down to the door so that I was sitting. I prayed that Jeff would change his mind and would knock on the door wanting to come inside. I wanted to kiss him and be held tight by him, not fight, especially over something as stupid as this. I don't even know why I didn't tell him in the first place, if I had told him straight away he probably would have just laughed, but by keeping it from him I've only made him mad.
Earlier when we had made up from our fight this morning, the two of us had laughed about it and decided to see it as some sort of milestone for us- our first fight, but I can imagine that when a couple has their second fight on the same day- I'm sure that can't be good.
I breathed in and out loudly and stood up, I was still in the dark I didn't even bother to turn on the light. I made my way into the living room and made myself comfortable on the couch, once again not bothering with the lights or even the curtains. I lay back and put my feet up and tried to find a comfortable position, I panicked in case I fell asleep and wouldn't hear Jeff when he came home and knocked the door… like I'd be able to fall asleep though with this happening.
A/N: I am so damn proud of this chapter, I love it! I loved their argument and I loved that aftermath! I really enjoyed writing it,I guess it was the reviews (and e-mail ;-) ) that got me all excited about it. I hope you think the same about it as I do! Oooh I wonder whatI could throw at them next! Oh my God, i'm loving writing this right now! Yay I'm so excited xxx
