Enjoy. Sorry it's so short..!


Jeff woke up the very next day, late afternoon. The sun was high in the sky, and was shining through the curtain directly onto his face. He rolled around in bed and tried to get comfortable, burying his face under the pillow. But it was impossible to fall asleep after a deep sleep. He gave up and threw the pillow across the room and got out of bed. He opened the curtain and made a face.

He looked across the room at the digital clock and his face dropped. He quickly looked down and groaned. He pulled the loose tie off his neck, and took of the jacket. He quickly unbuttoned the buttons on the dress shirt and kicked off the shoes the same time. It amused him that he slept with it. If it wasn't a rental he would have tore everything off his body. He ran to the bathroom and took off the pants, and boxers and got into the shower. He wasn't in a rush or anything, he didn't have anything in particular to do, he just wanted to take a nice jog before the sun got to high. He knew Trish was going out to look for things. He didn't want to run into her downstairs.

Because he knew Lita was going to be with her. But he couldn't face her after last night, not after that dream.

After the quick shower, he changed into a white long sleeve shirt and baggy shorts. He dried his hair with a towel, grabbed his shoes and ran out the door. He threw the towel in the hall and took off running downstairs. Along the way he slipped his shoes on and made it to the main lobby. He sat on the couch leaned against the couch and sighed. Not a minute later Trish came out of the elevator and was surprised to see him. She smiled brightly and made his way to him.

"Jeff, I can't believe you're up this early. How crazy! Anyways, I've got to make a few stops to some places. Lita isn't up yet, and I was wondering if you could help pick things up for the wedding." Jeff was against this. She handed him a plastic cup that had fresh coffee.

"I was actually planning to go on a small run." He took a sip.

"Pleeaase! Come on, Jeffry. It's my wedding, you don't want me to have such a cruddy wedding, do you?" Trish sat next to him. Jeff got off the couch and shook his head. "I need to take my mind off things.."

"Trish!"

His heart pounded. The two turned their heads and seen Lita run to them. Her hair waving back and forth, her sweat pants and shirt hugged closely around her curves and Jeff looked away in embarrassment. Lita stopped near Trish, and huffed. "You don't just throw a mini tantrum at me and leave, are you crazy?"

Trish shrugged, "I'm mad that you won't help."

Lita glared, "Why do you think I'm up? Of course I'm going to help. My best friend is getting married. I just don't know why I have to pick out the drinks for the dinner party.."

"Dinner party? Thought we just had one.." Jeff asked himself, but said it out loud.

"Jeff honey, that was just dinner. The dinner party is for after the wedding."

Just a dinner? Than why the hell did Trish rent a tux for him? The girls started a conversation while Jeff awkwardly stood their, waiting for the conversation to end. He kept staring at Lita and looked away when she smiled at him. "Hey Jeff."

"H-hi Lita. How's Matt?" Shit. Why would he ask about him? He was the reason he was in this position. Lita shrugged. "I don't really know. Haven't seen him since after dinner, I was hoping you knew where he was.."

"Could be somewhere." Jeff commented.

She nodded. "Yeah. See you later, Jeff. Let's go Trish."

"Y-yeah.." He blushed and looked away.

"I knew it!" Trish gushed.

Lita and Jeff gave Trish a look, and she brushed it off with a wave of her hand. "Planning is making me crazy. Come Lita."

"Okay.." Lita smiled. "See ya'." She nodded at Jeff and followed the blonde.

Jeff nodded and followed them out the door, not exchanging another word with either of them. He let out a long sigh, and stretched his muscles out. He started to run in the opposite direction as Lita, feeling like he was running away from her. He tried that before, tried making his mind run away from his thoughts of her. But he would always come crawling back.

He should just try and get over her completely, find someone else.

Keep telling yourself that, Jeff.. He thought dryly.


During his run he ran into Torrie of all people. And since she asked him to have breakfast with him, and he was hungry, he agreed to the offer. Now they were having breakfast at a local restaurant and actually having a decent conversation. They talked about simple things; the weather, careers, Trish's wedding and other stuff. All was going well until he heard a familiar laugh which belonged to Trish. He needed an excuse to get out of here before-

"Lita!" Torrie waved.

Lita made her way to the two while Trish was busy ordering. When she seen Jeff she was surprised. "Jeff, Torrie? What is this, a date?"

Torrie giggled lightly. "You could say that."

Jeff shot Torrie a look but she didn't see. She continued. "He's cute so I don't mind being with him."

Jeff gave a fake laugh. "Well I better get going now Torrie. It was very interesting being with you. Let's do it again soon." Jeff sat up from the seat and left a few bills on the table to pay for his food and left the restaurant.

Leaving so soon, he didn't even give Lita a glance, not getting to see the look of jealousy in her eyes as she watched him leave.
