Hey everybody!!! So it's been ages since I updated any of my stories! Just had a lot of stuff going on in my life the past few months! But im back now! I'll be updating most of my stories over the next week! Please read and review! So here's chapter 4! Hope you enjoy! Italics are for flashbacks!
Maria stood by the deserted hotel pool, the cool breeze brushing off her bare shoulders, listening to the sound of footsteps approaching her. She turned slowly, a look of confusion overshadowing her petit face, as she stood eye to eye with the man in front of her.
"What do you want John?" she shot, stepping forward slightly.
"We need to talk Maria…….about what happened. You must feel something for me if you're trying your best to avoid me. Please just talk to me? Please?....."
"No John I don't feel anything for you ok! Why can't you just get that through your head? I'm trying to avoid you because I feel guilty when I see you. I love Jeff. He's an amazing guy and he doesn't deserve what we done. He's my boyfriend and one of your best friends."
"I know that alright, I don't want to hurt Jeff either, I really don't but I know you feel something for me. You can deny it all you want but I know the truth. You can't tell me that our kiss didn't feel the same for you as it did for me! I Love……."
"Don't you dare finish that sentence. What we have is nothing! What we done was wrong and I want to forget about it. I don't love you John, no amount of kisses will change that!"
Cena studied Maria's face for a couple of minutes before he suddenly planted his lips on Maria's, his tongue entering her mouth with no trouble, as she put up no fight against him, their kiss becoming more passionate by the second. Finally Maria pulled away. She stared at the man in front of her with tear filled eyes. Her slim hand quickly connected with the side of his face. She eyed hi once more before running off.
End of Flashback
The sound of the elevator doors opening snapped Maria quickly out of taught, as she stepped out into the hall. She slowly made her way back to her room, knowing Jeff would be there and unsure if she could face him at that moment. She was consumed by guilt. How could she ever face Jeff again when she knew deep down that John was right. She did have feelings for him. And they where beginning to over power her feelings for Jeff. She lightly pushed open the door to find Jeff sitting on the end of the bed. She knew in that instant, by the look in his eyes, that he knew.
"Is it true?" where the only words spoken by the colourful haired man, his voice soft and broken. Maria began walking towards him, dropping to her knees at the end of the bed, her hands entwining with his.
"Jeff, you have to listen to me……" the diva was cut short as Jeff stood up pulling his hands from hers and grabbing his bags.
"I don't believe this." He muttered.
"Jeff, please don't go, just let me explain? Please Jeff."
"Explain what Maria? How Lita saw you and John kissing outside. How could you do this to me? With one of my best friends? Do you not care about me at all?" Maria felt her heart break as her boyfriend broke down in front of her.
"Of course I care about you, I love you Jeff, so much! What happened with me and John was nothing ok? He was confused about his feelings for me and he kissed me, but I swear I don't feel the same. You have to believe me and trust me when I say that."
"I do…believe you Maria ok, I do but how can I trust you anymore? You should have come straight to me and told me about John but you didn't, and that hurts more than anything. I just can't be here right now, with you. I need some time to think about everything. I'm going to be staying with Li for a while, get my head straight. You should do the same." Before Maria could respond, Jeff had retreated from the room. Now she was feeling even more confused than usual.
Randy Orton walked through the halls of the arena. It was Monday Night Raw. Time to get down to business and win his number one contender ship match. Although, he couldn't really focus. He was too busy thinking about a certain red head. He suddenly lost his train of taught when he bumped in to someone.
"Trish, hey! I didn't even see you there, sorry"
"It's ok, I wasn't really paying attention. So what's up? You and Li been on a date yet?"
"Eh, no, she's got a lot going on right now so"
"What do you mean? I haven't seen her for three or four days, but when I talked to her on the phone she was fine."
"Well there's nothing wrong with her but she's just helping a friend out, he's going through a rough time at the moment so, she probably didn't want to bother you…."
"Wait….HE? As in Jeff? What's wrong with him?"
"It's not really my place to say Trish….."
"Tell me NOW Orton!"
"No, they told me they didn't want anyone else knowing about it, not yet until he sorts his head out. If you want to know, well go find out yourself." Randy Orton soon turned on his heel and started walking in the opposite direction, while Trish began storming towards Jeff's locker room, her face red and fuming.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Trish could here the muffled sound of voices behind the door, followed by the sound of footsteps. The door opened slightly, Lita's slim face coming into view. Before she had a chance to greet the blonde diva, she had pushed her way passed the red head into the locker room.
"Ok, so which one of you would like to tell me what the hell is going on? Li? Jeff? Come on! I'm all fucking ears!"
"Trish would you just calm down." the red head said.
"Calm down? How can I? You guys are supposed to be my two best friends! And you don't even tell me when something's wrong! I have to find out from Orton! But he wouldn't even tell me what had happened!"
"Look Trish, I didn't want anybody to know ok! Randy only found out cause he came by to see Li and I was asleep on the floor. I'm going through a tough time right now, and I'm sorry, but the truth is that I didn't want you to know! I didn't want to have you in my ear, day in day out alright?" Jeff replied calmly but sternly, speaking for the first time.
"Why didn't you want me to know? Did you think I'd go around telling everybody your business?"
"No, because I know you don't like Maria. I didn't want you going around giving her dirty looks and making snide remarks."
"What has Maria got to do with this?" both superstars stayed quite while Trish eyed them suspiciously. "Wait….. Did Maria do something to you?" Once again silence filled the room.
"OH MY GOD! Did she CHEAT on you? That no good SLUT!"
"Trish just SHUT UP!" both women's faces dropped as they looked at the man in front of them. It wasn't like Jeff Hardy to lose his temper.
"That right there is why I didn't want you to know. You just start calling her names when you don't even know the full story."
"Full story my ass Jeff! She cheated on you and that's the bottom line."
"Cause Stone Cold said so!" Jeff and Trish both turned to face the red head diva, shooting her a WTF? look. "What I'm just trying to lighten the mood! I don't like drama"
"You know what, I've had about as much as I can take of this. Trish I want you to leave. NOW"
Trish looked at Jeff with hurt eyes. She felt her heart brake as she stared at him. "Fine" was all she managed to choke out before leaving the room. Jeff was soon met with the disappointed eyes of Lita.
"WHAT?"
"That was a little bit harsh don't you think J?"
"No Li I don't! She needs to stop sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong."
"Jeff, the girl is in love with you!"
"Yeah well, she has a funny way of showing it."
Lita let out a defeated sigh as, Jeff quickly exited the locker room as well. The two people she cared about most where at each others throats……AGAIN. And there she was, smack bang in the middle. "Great" she taught.
