Ch. 27
Jordan arrived at the Team Extreme locker room in record time. She was about to knock when she saw Stephanie heading towards her. Sighing Jordan got ready to tell the Billion dollar princess that she had no intention of marrying Jeff Hardy when she saw the excited look on her face.
"Hi Stephanie." Jordan said simply wanting to find out what that look was for.
"Jordan I just want to say that helping you plan your wedding would be a real honor for me. I mean I have known Jeff a long time and he deserves to be happy and honestly I think the two of you would be so great together." Stephanie said with a glowing smile on her face.
Jordan stood there dumbfounded and unsure on what to say or do at that point. She bit her bottom lip nervously and knew there was nothing she could say at that point to ruin Stephanies good mood. So instead she sighed and closed her eyes before making a split second decision.
"Thank you so much Stephanie but I don't think the engagement is official yet." Jordan said simply.
"What do you mean?" Stephanie asked her confused.
Jordan just smiled and held up her naked left hand, wiggling her bare ring finger. "No ring."
"Well then we are just going to have to take care of that. There is no way the two of you are fighting tonight not when you just got engaged. You should be going out ring shopping and getting bridal magazines. Oh my gosh do you think I could go and help you pick out a wedding dress because it would mean the world to me to be able to help you do that. Oh this is going to be so much fun, I know this isn't exactly your cup of tea but I promise it will be fun planning your wedding." Stephanie said nearly bursting with joy.
"Stephanie, I know it will be." Jordan said chickening out. "So how do you plan on getting us out of the match?"
"Don't worry about that, I am daddy's little girl and besides he put me in charge for tonight since he couldn't be here." Stephanie winked as she went off the make the announcement.
Jordan turned back to the door she was standing in front of and just knocked on it. She was standing there with her hands on her hips when Matt answered the door and just smirked at her. He shrugged and pointed inside before he left the room and headed down the hallway.
"I hate you so much." Jordan said when she saw Jeff walk out of the bathroom.
"Because I went to the bathroom?" Jeff asked with a confused look.
"No because now we aren't wrestling tonight because Stephanie wants us to go engagement ring shopping. She wants to help plan the wedding and she thinks it's going to be a blast." Jordan said with a helpless look as she flopped down on the couch that was in there.
"And you didn't tell her that you didn't want to marry me?" Jeff asked with a smirk on his face.
"I am beginning to think you set the whole thing up. You know I couldn't disappoint Stephanie. She just looked so happy and excited and she wants the best for you since she has known you for so long." Jordan said with a groan.
"So then it's official, we're getting married?" Jeff asked standing in front of her with his arms crossed in front of him.
"Until you call it off, which you are going to do." Jordan said arching an eyebrow.
"Don't think so." Jeff said shaking his head with a bigger smirk on his face. As much as he hated it that she felt like she was being forced to marry him he knew that in the long run she would be happy married to him. The whole not wanting to do it thing was because of her pride and her ego. She didn't like that it wasn't her idea and so she didn't want to except that they belonged together.
"You do realize the more that we are together the more people are going to target us. I am nothing but a hazard to your health." Jordan pointed out getting to her feet and standing right in front of Jeff.
"If you're a hazard than I love being in harms way." Jeff said with a smile as he grabbed Jordan and kissed her before she could say anything else. "Just admit it, we belong together and a part of you is excited about marrying me."
"You are so annoying." Jordan said as she walked out of the dressing room but deep down she knew he was right. A part of her had gotten excited when they had kissed again and that same part was happy at the thought that she was going to marry Jeff.
Jordan was walking down the hallway when she saw her brother standing a few feet away just staring at her. She bit her bottom lip nervously but knew she needed to face him at some point and now seemed like as good a time as any. She walked slowly up to him and took a deep breath, waiting to hear what he had to say first.
"Does he make you happy?" Shawn asked simply.
"What are you talking about?" Jordan asked confused. She thought he was going to go off on her about her drunken night so this was throwing her for a loop.
"Does he make you happy Jordan? It's a simple question." Shawn repeated with an annoyed look on his face.
Jordan continued to dumbly stare at her older brother unsure how to answer his question. She wanted to be honest but she had never really thought about that. Did Jeff really make her happy? Was marrying him really what she wanted but didn't want to admit to herself? Was the reason she couldn't tell Stephanie the truth because she wanted the marriage to be the truth? Jordan cocked her head to one side and just stared at her brother before she finally answered him.
