I began to pack my bag trying to not say a word as I wasn't sure what he was thinking nor what to think myself about this whole situation. Do we talk about it? Do we forget it happened? I just focused and distracted myself with packing my bag and trying to think of my first two matches this past two nights. I pulled out my phone texting Tommy Dreamer thanking him for the opportunity to wrestle for his company and for his gratitude and generosity for taking me in even though I was just a newcomer. I had quickly received a response back stating that he was glad that I had obliged by taking his offer and would love for me to come back for future shows. I was very lucky and happy that Tommy would want me to come back. Time ticked past, here we sat at the airport in almost silence besides the sounds of our thumbs texting or typing on our phones, him moreso than me because he was even more important than I was and I did not have many people to text right now. With this whole not talking thing, this has made time go by a whole lot slower. I wanted to speak but did not know what to stutter out to him, what was the right thing to say about now? It would be forced awkward of sorts if I began to talk about other sports or even bring up weather. Arriving back in North Carolina, we stood at the baggage claim and Jeff continued to be a gentleman by retrieving my bags for me as we headed to the car where he helped put my car into the trunk. I climbed into the passenger seat buckling up as I began to retrieve a couple of texts from Mia and Heidi about other possible shows I could get booked on or that they will try to name drop me at to get me booked. I texted them back thanking them and think that I will begin to look at these shows that they sent me to send out my resume. Jeff climbed in after I had heard and felt the trunk slam shut. Jeff buckled up driving us back towards the house in which no words still hadn't been spoke since the hotel room. Upon arriving back to the house, I headed towards my room as I began to unpack then climbed onto the bed with my laptop in hand logging onto the internet looking up these promotions I was texted from Mia and Heidi beginning to shoot out resumes and my promo reel attached in hopes I could hear back from them to get booked sooner than later. I then began to look for day jobs around the area so I can begin bringing steady money in rather than random weekends, true the money that I was paid was decent for the two shows but needed more income coming in especially if I wanted to move out of here so I won't be hindering Jeff much more. I heard a knock at the door, I had totally forgot I had the door closed.

"It's open." I stated as I shut the laptop without turning it off pushing it aside unsure what Jeff had wanted.

"I cooked some dinner, you want some?" Jeff asked.

"Uh sure." I said as I stood up following him to the kitchen table where we sat across from each other as we both awkwardly ate in the awkward silence.

"Look…about last night." Jeff began to speak.

"You want to just forget about it?" I asked nervously as I certainly didn't want to forget about it.

"That's not what I wanted to say…I was going to say, yes we were both drunk but it meant more than just a random drunk fuck to me…over the last few months you have spent here, I have gotten to know you better and bonded with you, watching you grow and blossom. I have feelings for you April." Jeff spoke, the words that were spewing out of his mouth were merely shocking to hear. I tried to not chock on my food when he said what he said, "I just don't know if you feel the same." Jeff said as I swallowed the food that was in my mouth as I took a quick drink.

"I…I do Jeff. I just…didn't want to let my feelings get in the way because we were both pretty drunk and thought maybe it was just an one-time thing and you wouldn't see me that way." I said honestly.

"So…"

"So what?" I asked curiously as I poked at my food.

"How would you feel if we became boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"I would enjoy that but…"

"But what?" Jeff asked curiously as he sat back.

"How is that going to affect us professionally and in business wise? Like in training and these promotions?" I asked as Jeff just let out a hefty laugh as I had no idea how that was funny. "Did I say something funny?" I asked curiously.

"No, April, it won't affect us professionally if you don't let it."

"Alright so don't take it easy on me during training tomorrow because I would know if you are or aren't." I said.

"I won't take it easy on you…but you know what will be funny? Seeing Heather's face." Jeff said as we both got a good little laugh at that. "I promise you that I won't treat you any differently than I do now, if anything I'll push you harder." Jeff spoke as I nodded, "So, what do you say?" Jeff asked with a half smirk as I sighed trying to contemplate it in my head as to what the better option was. Deep down I really wanted to say yes because I adored him, we did have sex last night which was phenomenal, and we have grown to know each other. Jeff had learned so much about me over the course of time that I hadn't told a lot of people, he was there to take care of me when I had nowhere else to go which showed that he did care and that he able to provide for me in ways more than just emotionally. I was just trying to think if this worth it, did he only find these feeling because we had sex last night?

"I just need to know Jeff, are you only asking me because of what had happened last night?" I asked curiously as I poked at my food.

"I'm not going to say that I didn't enjoy last night, but I think the feelings for you had grown when you moved in here. After last night happened, I think that it had pushed me over the edge to accept these feelings." Jeff explained as I sighed as I then smiled.

"So this is legit then?" I asked him as he chuckled.

"As real as it gets April." Jeff spoke as I smiled as he stood up to lean over the table giving me a soft kiss on the lips smiling against his lips. Jeff sat back down as we then continued to eat our food that was prepared. After finishing our food, I had returned to my room to finish my unpacking then headed to the laundry room to beginning a load of laundry knowing that I needed some clean clothes. I spent the next few hours looking for jobs to help benefit this whatever relationship thing is that I am now in with Jeff to help with bills that has or will accumulate from this house. I went to pull the last load out of the dryer throwing the pile of clothes onto the bed when I heard a soft knock on the door, "Hey, we got to go." Jeff spoke as I looked at the time seeing that it was time to go to training.

"I lost track of time, I'll see you over there." I spoke as Jeff nodded as he headed out without me as I then shut the door to have some privacy. I changed into some work-out gear that I had just washed up then headed out of the house that Jeff had left not even an hour ago. Walking the distance in my lonesome before letting myself into the dome behind Matt's house where the ring and training was held seeing that I wasn't the first student there. Upon entering the dome, I found a seat to put on the wrestling shoes that I can't wear outside the dome and Jeff approached me.

"We are just going to do some drills, easy stuff…" Jeff spoke as he kissed at my forehead as I nodded as I laced up my shoes then got into the four sided ring joining in on the warm-up drills that the couple other students were already doing to get ready for whatever was in store for the training session that night. After being given the lesson that Matt and Jeff had on their mind for the night, we were then paired off to do a mock match to put on in front of them and the other students. Of course I got paired with the drama queen diva herself, Heather. Heather and I headed to the women's locker room where the two of us would have our privacy from all the other students which was nice because we can seclude ourselves from everyone else where the other students did not have that luxury but I had this hatred for it because I had to spend it with someone like Heather.

"Jeff has certainly been eyeing you all night April, what is the deal? What did you do to get his attention?" Heather asked.

"Why does it matter Heather?" I asked curiously as I ran my fingers along the lockers that I walked by before turning around to face her.

"Because I'm just curious is all…and I have been trying so hard to get his attention but you are the one that is in my way now." Heather said I got a little chuckle out of that.

"Well…truth be told, we are kind of dating." I said truthfully.

"That is so not fair, you are going to get special treatment now in training and…and…you know he only likes you because you live with him now…he didn't give you a second look beforehand." Heather began to speak whilst she continued on with all these different things out of spite which oddly I was actually listening to her about and on because maybe she was right. Jeff did say that his feelings had begun to grow when I moved in and didn't tell me anything until we had sex in New York. If Jeff did not have a big heart, then I would not be dating Jeff right now. I tried to not think of these things right now since we had a match we needed to put on.

"Heather, could we not talk about this right now? Honestly…" I said snapping as we then began to talk over what Heather could or could not do, in what things I think she needed to work on in the ring. We exited the locker room beginning to watch the other matches giving critisism and positive enforcement on them before it got to Heather and mine match getting just as much feedback as we had given. Training furthered until Matt and Jeff gave us a final pep talk then called the training a quits for the night as I slid out pulling off my training shoes taking them to the locker room before heading out of the dome.

"Wait up April!" Jeff called as I stopped at the door turning around smiling slightly trying to not show that what Heather spoke earlier was getting to me as Jeff jogged up to me. "I'll walk with you back." Jeff said as he pushed the door open holding it open for me as he gripped my hand swinging it slightly as we walked back towards the house we were both residing in as he spoke how well I did tonight and how Tommy told him about the next month's show to pass the time as we woke back to the house. We entered the dark house that was more toasty the cold crisp air of the outside. "Are you hungry?" Jeff asked as I shrugged.

"Not really, I think I am just going to take a bath then head to bed." I said honestly.

"Well, I'm going to make some food and put some into the fridge for you if you get hungry later. Good night if I don't see you before then." Jeff said as I nodded as I headed into my room grabbing some pajamas then headed into the bathroom drawing myself a bath before stepping into the bathtub to soak in the luke warm water trying to relax and push those negative thoughts out of my mind that Heather spoke but I could not help but to believe them and they were nagging at me so strong even though they were just put into my head not even an hour ago. I couldn't help but to get agitated as I finished up my bath getting dressed heading to my bedroom climbing into bed. I laid down trying to get comfortable when a knock came to the door.

"It's open." I said as the door was pushed open seeing Jeff's body standing in the opened part of the door.

"What are you doing laying in here?" Jeff asked.

"I was trying to get some sleep…" I responded as I was confused what he meant.

"Well…I thought we could share a bed…"

"There is extra room in this bed." I spoke as I could see the bright smile on Jeff's bed as he walked over sliding into the bed with me feeling his arms wrapped around my body feeling instantly relaxed and protected with his arms wrapped around me. Thoughts were instantly gone even though they were still in the back of my head whispering how I needed to move out and to end it now. The next day, I had woke up smiling food being made in the kitchen. I climbed out of bed going to the kitchen smiling.

"Good morning beautiful, are you hungry for some pancakes?" Jeff asked.

"Always." I said with a smiling as Jeff made two plates carrying them out to the table as I sat down picking up a fork to dive into the food Jeff had made that morning.

"I have to go into town to do some errands, you want to come with or do you want to stay back?" Jeff asked as I glanced up at him.

"I think I will stay back." I said thinking this would be a great time to kind of pack up my things and get out of here without him knowing that I had left. I felt like this was going to be a sudden jolt to Jeff and a big question mark to him but think it would be best because I can't stay here. Jeff did not love me like he thinks he does, there was no way and this was a giant mistake honestly. I finished up my breakfast trying to not act any differently. I got up taking my dishes to the kitchen where I began to rinse the plate off from the syrup and crumbs before I put them into the dishwasher.

"Since you aren't coming with, was there anything you needed at the store while I was out?" Jeff asked curiously as he stepped beside me with a bright smile on his face.

"Nothing is coming to mind but if I think of anything I will text you." I said as Jeff nodded.

"Okay." Jeff said as he put his plate into the dishwasher, "I'll bring home some lunch because I don't think we have much in the fridge or cupboards…bye babe." Jeff said kissing me on my lips before he walked out seeing him pick his keys and wallet off the counter then walked out the front door. I stood in the kitchen watching him through the window that looked out into the driveway making sure he had fully left before I headed to my room grabbing my cell phone going through the contacts dialing up an old co-worker that I was somewhat close with whom said I was welcomed to claim their guest bedroom for a while. I began to throw the things that I had, the things Jeff did not purchase mainly, into my bag that I have had since day one. I pulled the bag onto my back as I walked out of the house making sure it was locked up behind me knowing that if I wanted to be long gone before Jeff returned I needed go leave as close to the time he had left as I could. I made my way to where I was supposed to meet my co-worker who climbed out of their car greeting me with a giant hug.

"Long time no see, how have things been?" She asked.

"Really rough, honestly Lily…thanks…thanks for this." I said as Lily nodded.

"No problem, you want to go get some coffee to talk? My treat." Lily said as I smiled.

"I would love that." I said as Lily hugged me tightly again as I climbed into the passenger seat letting her drive us to the local coffee shop where we went inside where I just began to spill the beans about everything seeing all the guilt and hurt in Lily's eyes as she did not know that it got to the point where I did not have the money to live off of and how I hadn't been able to find a job to how I got to contacting her with my feelings about Jeff.

"How do you know that is true about Jeff?" Lily asked sipping at her big cup of coffee.

"It all makes sense Lily, before I moved into the house we were just friends and he never gave me a second look then all of a sudden bam, he was getting into my pants wanting to date me." I spoke as Lily sighed.

"How else are you supposed to get to know someone other than getting to know them? Isn't that why you are supposed to spend time together?" Lily asked.

"I don't want to take the chance though Lily, you know how many things I have lost throughout my life and did not want to lose something else." I spoke.

"What are you going to do about wrestling? You are going to see him at training, that was your ultimate goal in life was to wrestle."

"Well, I don't think I need to train anymore because I feel I am fully trained and bookable. I have Tommy's number and he wants me on next month's events but I just need to get to work to afford to get there."

"If you say so April…but hey, you can come work with me again. My company is looking for a receptionist. You any good at computers and typing and such?" Lily asked as I nodded happily, "Great, I'll bring you with tomorrow and have you do a day's work to see how you fit in before you get fully hired on."

"I would love that." I said smiling as we finished our coffee catching up on the time we had missed when my phone began to go off knowing it had to be Jeff whom must have gotten the letter that I had left behind to explain myself. I had to move on, no turning back and I was not going to answer him right about now. I pulled out my phone turning it to silent that way it won't continue to interrupt us and later that night I had then blocked Jeff's number that way it wouldn't waste battery of him continuing to blow up my phone.
