After hearing what Torrie told me, I didn't know what to think of Matt. I tried to think of something he did that showed his feelings for me… but nothing came to mind. Maybe the way he keeps worrying about me? No… any friend would do that. I mean, Jeff came, didn't he? And Shane- he tried to 'save' me… but then again… Matt does show more interest… and he always tells me that I look better with my hair loose… and… oh, who am I kidding? Matt's not in love with me. But still, I had to find out. I knocked softly on Matt's door.

"It's open!" He called.

I opened it and walked in. Shannon was there, too.

"Hey Matt… hey Shannon." I said, closing the door behind me.

"Hey, Li." Shannon said.

Matt quickly turned around. "What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I have to talk to you." I said.

"I sense that I am not wanted here." Shannon said, standing up.

"No… it's not that you're not wanted here… it's just that… well… it would be easier to talk to Matt if we were alone…"

"Once again. I sense that I am not wanted here."

I smiled. "Thanks, Shan."

He nodded and left.

"Mother fucker." Matt mumbled.

"Oh…did you want him to stay?"

"No, no. Not Shannon. Jason." Matt said.

"What?"

"Your lip."

My hand quickly went up to my lip. I gently ran a finger over it, then pressing it softly to see if it was still sore. It wasn't really. "This isn't what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Then what is it?" Matt asked, sitting down. He began wrapping his hand.

"You have a match?" I asked.

"Yeah… in a few minutes."

"Then I'll come back." I said, heading towards the door.

"No, tell me."

"It's gonna take more than a few minutes."

"Then we'll continue after my match." Matt said, standing up.

I shook my head. "You'll be way too distracted. Trust me." I opened his door.

"Well then we'll talk afterwards." Matt said.

"Sure."

As I walked out, Shannon walked in. "Matt, they rescheduled our match. We're after Benoit and Angle."

"Shit… Lita was just gonna tell me something, too."

"Go get her."

"No, that's okay. I'll wait till after our match. I think it was important."

Shannon closed the door. "What's the miracle you passed up the chance to be with Lita?" Shannon laughed.

I heard my name… so I decided to linger around the door for a few minutes… I don't call it eavesdropping… just… intensive listening to a conversation that's not exactly directed to you.

"Shut up." Matt said, blushing.

"You make it more and more obvious everyday, dude."

"What?"

"How in love you are with her! It's practically written across that big ass forehead of yours."

I pressed my ear up against the door so I could hear them a little more clearly.

"Are you serious!" Matt asked, getting nervous. "Shit, what if she notices?"

"She doesn't." Shannon said, putting a reassuring hand on his fellow Carolinian.

"How do you know?"

"She woulda said somethin'."

"Amy, what are you doing?" Stacy asked loudly.

Matt's door swung open. I stumbled forward, but straightened myself quickly. Matt's jaw hung so low I think it was practically touching the floor.

"How… how… long were you out there?" Matt asked nervously.

"Um… not long." I lied.

"What did you hear?"

"Nothing… well… I heard you say 'how do you know?' but that's it… I was just about to knock."

"Nuh-uh! You had your ear pressed up against –"

I pinched Stacy's arm.

"OW! What was that for?" She whined, rubbing her arm.

"She had her ear pressed up against what?" Matt asked Stacy.

"The –"

I shot her a pleading look.

"Wall." Stacy said.

I smiled.

"Why?" Shannon asked.

"Well… I thought I heard arguing… probably Jamie and Nidia again… you know how they are." I said, flashing Matt an uneasy smile.

"Oh." Matt sighed. "Okay."

Stacy smiled. "Shannon, I just came to tell you that you guys are up in five… Vince asked me to tell you." Stacy said.

"Thanks." Shannon said.

"Um… I should go now." I said, walking away quickly. Man, that was close.
