Chapter Three: Comfort
I walked out and over to Matt after Ashley left. I was afraid to even approach him, let alone talk to him. He looked pretty freaking pissed.
I tip-toed over to him, speaking softly. "Matt?"
"What!?" he erupted, impatiently and up-tightly as he turned around. Then as he realized that it was me, he lowered the tone of his voice. "Oh, sorry. Yeah?"
I knew he was only pissed off at Ashley and didn't mean it, so I let it go.
"You okay?" I asked him. "I heard yelling."
"Yeah, yeah..." he sighed. "I just had a fight with my girlfriend. Sorry if we bothered you..."
I waved it off. "No, no. It's okay. I just heard all kinds of comotion and was wondering what happened."
"She's just being her typical self. Oh well, no matter." he said. "Hey, aren't you the new girl?"
"Yeah, I'm Chantel Price." I introduced myself. I extended my hand.
"Matt Hardy." he shook it. "Nice to meet you. How long are you here for?"
"My contract states four years, but Vince could extend it if I do well."
"Well, it'll be a pleasure to work with you." he smiled. Ah, finally, seeing a flash of light after the drama.
"Thank you, you too, definitely." I smiled back. "It'll be an honor."
"Thanks, see ya!" he half-waved as he headed on his way.
