Chapter 17

RAW, the next night…

KC sat in the Hardy's locker room on the couch next to Jeff. She was leaning into him while his arm was around her shoulders playing with her hair. Am I crazy or is this too perfect? KC thought. She looked up and smiled at her boyfriend.

"Jeff," KC said. "I'm sorry this took so long."

Jeff looked down at KC and smiled. "Don't you know sometimes the best things in life are the things you wait for the longest." He leaned down and kissed her. Soon the simple kiss became heated. Tongues dueled for control and hands roamed. All of a sudden there was a loud cough.

KC and Jeff looked toward the sound and blushed deeply. Matt, Amy and Chris walked over.

"Now I know you both were waiting for this," Matt began. "But do we have to constantly watch you two go at it?" Everyone laughed at the comment.

"Jeez Matt," Jeff said. "How many years have I been listening to you and Amy 'going at it?'"

Amy blushed deeply at this comment, turned to Matt, hit him on the arm and hissed, "I told you he could hear us!"

Chris laughed and said, "Anyway, do we all know what we are doing tonight?"

KC looked up. "Well Fozzy, apparently Rey is still a little pissed off about Enigmatic. He is going to talk smack about me and I get to set him straight."

"Skeeter, you will be taking it easy, right? Your ribs are still tender."

"Yeah, sweets," Jeff said. "I thought you had the night off to rest after the TLC match."

"Are you resting or you wrestling tonight? I believe the doc told you to take it easy to sunshine."

Jeff looked at KC sheepishly and through his hands up. "You win."

"That's right," KC said. "Just remember I win and we'll be together for a long time."

Everyone laughed.

In the ring…

An angry Rey Mysterio paced around the ring. KC couldn't believe how pissed off he was. She knew he was following the script sort of but he was also throwing some shoot comments in.

"That chica in the back thinks she's better than me. She "beat" me in Mexico once…once. She doesn't have the experience I have. She never got the titles I had. Who the hell does she think she is?"

KC knew that was her cue. Without music, she stepped outside onto the stage and began walking down the ramp knowing the boys in the back were watching the monitor to see how far she 

would go. It took all her power to keep Jeff from coming with her. She knew the script called for her to do it on her own.

"Hey Rey, what do you say?" KC said as she approached the man, equal to her size in the ring. "Are you that upset that a girl beat you? From what I remember of that match, it was a good one. We fought hard and it could have gone either way. Do you agree?"

"Well…" Rey looked thoughtful.

"Listen Rey, I am not one to make excuses. I did what I had to in order to make it in this business. If I wanted to wrestle you straight as a woman, would that have happened?" KC looked at Rey.

"No."

"Exactly! I know I can hang with the men. I know what I am capable of but needed that chance. Am I sorry I went through with the match? No. Am I sorry I hurt your precious Latino male ego? No. I did what I had to do." With that KC turned and climbed out of the ring. Rey yelled to her from the ring.

"KC! You and me at Backlash. One more time to see who can 'hang.' KC turned to look at the small man in the ring. "What's your answer?"

"You want it, you got it. No matter what happens there can't be any more bitching after the match."

"Done."

With that KC left the stage with the roar of the crowd behind.

Backstage…

Jeff was waiting backstage for KC. He lifted her into a hug as soon as she walked through the curtain.

"You did great out there," Jeff said kissing her on the lips.

"Thanks sweetie," replied KC returning his kiss.

"I have been thinking," Jeff said causing KC to raise an eyebrow.

"Is that the smoke I smelt?" KC asked with a laugh.

"Keep laughing funny girl," Jeff said placing her back on the floor. Walking hand in hand back to the locker room, Jeff continued. "How about you come back to Cameron with me for the next few days?"

"Wow, you have been thinking!" KC said with a smile. "I think it would be a great idea."
