Chapter 4.

Trish Stratus smiled at herself in the mirror as she brushed the last bit of her just washed hair. She couldn't help but say to herself that she looked great.

Music player on, she was just humming along with Nemo by Nightwish when the phone rang.

Turning the player off, she picked up the vibrating cell phone that lay next to it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Darlin'" A southern accent said from the other end.

Trish couldn't help but grin. "Hey Jeff. What's up?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted to come out on a trip with me?"

"Sounds cool" She replied. "Where to?"

"Well now if I told you that, it wouldn't be a surprise. Pick you up at 6" And then the call was disconnected.

Heart now fluttering in her chest, Trish grinned and placed the phone down before running to her closet to get ready.

After all, she only had 3 hours before he came.

Jeff's POV.

I grinned as I put the phone down, heart beating extremely fast. I'd gotten her to come out with me, now I just had to make sure everything was ready.

Typing in another number, I pressed the call button. The person immediately picked up.

"Hello?"

"Kyle? It's Jeff"

"Oh, hey man. What's up?"

"I need your help"

Trish's POV

6 soon rolled around and when it did, I found myself pacing the small hallway in my hotel room, waiting for Jeff to arrive.

Finally, at 6.02, there was a knock at the door.

But when I opened it, I was shocked to find a man in a suit standing there. "Miss Stratus, your car has arrived". He said.

Shocked, I let him take me to the front of the lobby where an elegant black Mercedes was waiting.

The back door swung open and Jeff appeared, all dressed up in a pair of black pants, a white button up shirt and a black jacket over the top.

Smiling, he helped me into the car before getting in himself.

Closing the door, he grinned at me as the car rolled away. "You look beautiful tonight".

I blushed. "Thanks. You don't look bad yourself".

Jeff merely chuckled before producing a red rose from behind his back. "Pour vous"

I laughed at his cheesiness but took the rose anyway. "Jeff, you didn't have to do all this".

"I know" He replied. "But I wanted too"

I turned away, my cheeks blushing bright red, heart thumping wildly. He was so sweet.

A few minutes later, the car stopped and Jeff opened the door. He got out and then helped me out, before shutting the door and leading me into the forest that lay next to where the car had stopped.

"Jeff Hardy, you're not kidnapping me are you?" I laughed.

"No" He chuckled, placing his hand over my eyes. "Just wait".

"I hope you washed that hand" I giggled, causing him to also laugh.

Finally, we stopped and he helped me sit down, hand still in mine.

"Jeff? Where are we?" I asked. His hand still covered my eyes, but while I could feel my body sitting on solid ground, my feet felt like they were dangling over something.

Without a word spoken, he removed his hand, allowing me to see where we were.

I gasped

We were currently sitting on the edge of a plateau of grass, the trees located behind us, and in front of us, a stunning view of the beach and the ocean.

"Thank god we're in Palm beach" Jeff laughed, obviously meaning that we wouldn't get this view if we were inland.

"Jeff..." I whispered, lost for words. "It's beautiful"

"Glad you like it" He said before producing a picnic basket. "Eat up".

The food had been delicious, all of which Jeff made himself, and the view just made the night even better.

But it appeared Jeff wasn't done when he pulled out his phone and rang someone, saying only one word, "go", before hanging up.

I merely looked at him confused, but he looked at me and tilted my head up the the sky above the ocean. "Just watch"

And then I knew what he meant when fireworks began to litter the sky.

When they had finished, I turned to him, tears in my eyes. No-one had ever done anything like this for me before. "Jeff...I..." I paused. "Why?"

He smiled lightly. "Someone like you, deserves something special Trish. And I just thought maybe I could give it you"

Tears falling down my cheeks, I hugged him tightly. "You're a great friend Jeff"

He pulled away and smiled, but I could see pain in his eyes. I suddenly wondered what I'd done wrong.

"Come on. We better go. It's late" He said almost sadly, pulling me up and leading me back to the car.

Jeff's POV.

Sitting on my hotel bed, head in my hands, I can't help but shed a few tears as her voice echoes in my head repeatedly.

'You're a great friend Jeff'.

I sighed heavily. I'd put my heart on the line and once again got let down.

I should have known she'd never love me.

I should have listened to Matt.

Trish's POV.

As I wrapped my covers tightly around me in order to get away from the chilly night air, I thought back to what had happened just over an hour ago.

Why had Jeff seemed so hurt?

I didn't have an answer for it.

Snuggling deeper into my pillows, I smiled as his handsome, laughing face appeared in my mind.

He looked so gorgeous. His smile was...wow. His laugh...so sexy.

And then I shot up in bed, eyes wide.

"Oh my god...I love him"

:) So Trish has finally realised she loves Jeff. What will happen now I wonder?

Well, go have a look! :
