I own or secretly borrowed anyone you don't recognise, but no one you do...yet. I'm trying to stay on top of this one now.

When I opened my eyes I was surprised to see a ceiling above my head
When I opened my eyes I was surprised to see a ceiling above my head. I was even more amazed when I realised I wasn't alone, there was another form behind me. Just by the feel and touch I could tell it was Jeff. I tried to move so he could continue sleeping but didn't get very far because there just so happened to be an arm heaved over my midsection. So, instead of trying to move I rolled over and looked at the clock, 5:24am, right on time body clock. After about five minutes of lying there I got bored…it's called a short attention span people. So being extremely careful I lifted Jeff's arm and slid out of the way so I could get out of bed. Mission successful. I walked out of the room and down the hall to the kitchen, coffee time.
Just as I took my last sip of coffee the back door opened and out walked a very scruffy looking Hardy.
"Morning Skittles."
"Morning Squirt. Sleep ok?"
"Mmm best in years." I said, stretching.
"Glad I could help then."
"The wake up was a little strange, I mean last thing I knew I was in your corvette, then I'm in my room, with you next to me. I was trippin for a minute."
"Yea, well I didn't want to wake you when we got back so I took you to your room, I went to leave but you wouldn't let go of my arm. Your aunt came by and told me to get comfy. So I did." Embarrassing much? I couldn't look at him after I knew that.
"Sorry Skittles."
"Why are you sorry?"
"Well you could've had a comfy sleep if it weren't for me." Jeff chuckled.
"Are you kidding? That's the nicest sleep in the world, the only that could've made it better is if I had woken up to find you next to me." I could feel the blush appear on my face. "More coffee?" Jeff asked, holding his hand out for my mug. I nodded and handed him the offending item. Jeff disappeared back into the kitchen, and reappeared holding two cups of coffee. Once I had mine I couldn't help but notice how lovely I felt this morning, glancing down at my form I noticed I was clad in my pajamas and not the clothes I was wearing last night. How did I get in these?
"Umm Jeff, you know how I fell asleep in your 'vette." He nodded his head in agreement. "Well I don't remember being in my trainer and well absolutely no pants."
"Ah, well you see, you looked really uncomfortable in your clothes so I changed you." How can you say that like it's the easiest thing in the world.
"Hardy say what?"
"I didn't strip you or anything. I just took off your shirt, put on your trainer, then took off the bra under it. Oh and I took of the pants you were wearing, I say the boy shorts at Raw tonight anyway." Very true, still embarrassing but true.
"I guess I can be ok with that." I said hopping up.
"Where are you going?" Jeff asked looking worried.
"To get some pants on. Could you imagine Andy's face if he saw me in my undies." Jeff scratched his chin in mock thought.
"Good idea." At least I'm hoping it was mock thought.
Feeling like a run, I grabbed old grammar sports shirt, and some basketball shorts, then fumbled through my case to find some fresh socks and grabbed my runners and I was off. I walked back out he door to see Jeff catching some morning rays.
"Where you off to?" To have random sex with strangers…what'd you think I'm about to do?
"Going for a run, you coming?"
"Sure just give me a sec, ok?"
"Pfft, I don't think so boyo, I start now, you catch up…if you can." I said before taking off down the driveway. Once I reached the street I looked back, to find Jeff watching me.
"You go, I'll stay and cook breakfast." He yelled to me. Sounded good, I got my ipod out of my shorts and put the headphones in and took off.
Left, right, right, right, left. I stopped at a park, a fairly large park to have a breather and a drink of water from the bubbler. Right, now just to get back. Not being overly good at remembering names I remembered turns I took, so I could reverse it. Right ok, not to head home for some breakfast…Hardy style. The last turn I took was a left, so I headed right, then two lefts, then what? Shit I can't remember, was it left right to take me home or right left…how confusing. I ran forwards and decided on left right, luckily, actually I think it was more the smell of food that I followed, either way, I made it home, but not without noting a huge three story brick house with a hand statue out the front in a weird peace sign. I'll ask Jeff about it later. I ran back up the driveway and to the back door. I walked into the kitchen and got myself some water.
"You were gone a while." Jeff said, looking at my sweat covered shirt.
"Only what? Forty five minutes."
"Where'd you go?" I missed you so…damn song playing on my ipod.
"A big park, then back again."
"Nice distance."
"Nice park too. Hey do you know the huge brick house a block a half away, it's got a hand out the front with a deformed peace sign in the yard."
"Oh yea, that's Matt's place. I'm going to go see him before we have to go tomorrow, I have to sort out this mess with him."
"You really do, I hate that you guys are fighting over me." He just nodded. I left the kitchen to have a shower and get changed.
I finally settled on a pair of dark purple skinnies and a black shirt with a pair of purple lips on it. I spiked the back of my short hair, and let my fringe hang over the left side of my face. I walked sown the stairs and saw two plates of bacon eggs and toast on the kitchen bar. I sat down at the smaller plate and waited for Jeff to come to the kitchen…where was the boy? I was just waiting when all of a sudden a necklace came around my neck. Guess I found Jeff.
"What the?"
"It's just something to show the world you're my girl." I looked at the purple and black cross pendant and smiled.
"It's beautiful Jeff."
"It opens, there's an inscription on it." I opened the necklace and just as Jeff said there was an inscription. 'Fall fast and hard. Never hold back. ILY Elsie. 5/12/07' I almost cried.
"ILY?"
"I love you." I did cry. It is absolutely beautiful.
"Jeff thankyou so much. I'm only going to take it off to fight." Jeff put his arms around me and kissed my cheek. "And Skittles," He looked up. "ILY too." A smile that could light up the whole of Brisbane appeared on his face.
"Really Squirt?"
"Really really Skittles. I love you." We leaned in and shared a slow passionate kiss before eating the delicious breakfast he'd made.
As per Mr McMahon's instructions I decided to go shopping, and as interesting as Jeff is, shopping with him may be dangerous to my health.
"Skittles, whatcha got planned for today?"
"I don't know really, why?"
"I was gonna suggest hanging with Andy or fixing shit with Matt coz I wanted to go shopping, I just wish I had someone to go with." Hint hint.
"I've got Ash's number, call her and ask if the divas want to go." He handed me his phone and after locating the number I rang her on the home phone, it wasn't till she answered half asleep I looked at the oven clock…8am, shit.
"Oh my god, sorry Ash, I didn't realise it was still this early."
"That's ok, who's this?"
"This is Elsie, the new diva."
"Ahh the one who loves making me money, what can I do for you today?"
"Umm Vince told Jeff to make me go shopping because I need some 'appropriate' clothes."
"And your not after cargo pants right?"
"Well maybe a pair or two, but mostly no."
"Where are you staying?"
"At my aunts house, Jeff's my neighbour."
"Alright, I'll get the others and we'll meet you at the mall at noon."
"Ok Thanks Ash, you're a lifesaver."
"Mmm lifesavers, see you in a few bitch." With that Ashley hung up. I walked back into the living room to find Jeff watching Spongebob Squarepants.
"Cartons much?"
"Yep, I love em. So what'd you and Ash decide?"
"I'm meeting the divas at the mall at noon." Jeff turned off the tube.
"Right, well it's what? 8:15 now. It'll take two hours to get there, so we'd better think about leaving soon."
"You're kidding right, I mean it's 8 and I'm meeting them at midday."
"Yea? So, I'll go home and get dressed then meet you back here." I rolled my eyes.
"Fine I'll clean up the breakfast dishes." Jeff gave me a peck on the cheek and went out the back door to his place. I walked into the kitchen and started on the few dishes there was to do.
"You know the dishwasher great for stuff like that."
"Dan! You're up. How've you been? It feels like I haven't seen you in ages."
"I've been good. I'm spending a lot of time at my friend's house. I saw you on TV last night."
"You don't watch it though."
"Mitch does."
"What'd you think?"
"You seemed to have had a pretty bad night, until that Hardy character kissed you."
"Yea, mostly it was ok actually, maybe the water and superkick weren't that good but I had heaps of fun. Actually they offered me a job, so I'm staying a while."
"Congrats Silly String." The name Dan gave me. He then gave me a hug, which is a big deal for Dan, he's not big on touching. "So what've you got planned for the day?"
"My boss wants me to go shopping so me and some new friend's are going."
"Nice one, hey maybe when you're back we could hang out?"
"Definitely, we gotta catch up soon. Oh and BanDana, the gut who kissed me is our neighbour, we're kinda an item." I swear Dan's mouth hit the floor.
"My silly string found a man?" I nodded. "I'm happy for you S doll." I smiled, and gave him a hug before writing a note for Aunty K and sticking it next to the phone."
"Bye BanDana."
"Bye Silly String." I went out the back to find Jeff on the Veranda.
"Seriously no one likes your name do they?" I smiled. "Silly String, Hellover, Si, Elle, Squirt, Rainy Day."
"Dan also calls me S doll, Aunty Kimmy calls me Elsivador and some of my friends from school called me E-babe, from the whole E-bay era."
"What about your mum?"
"She called me munchkin, of course, and Edna"
"Why Edna?"
"Dame Edna Everage, her greeting is always Hell possums, and my mum used to call me possum so it turned into Edna."
"That's cute. You ready to go now?"
"Yep lets do this thing." And be incredibly early. He grabbed my hand and took me over to his corvette and we took off for my shopping spree.
