Chapter 23
The club was crazy! There were people everywhere. Couples mostly. Matt hadn’t danced much, but Angela had been pulled away from him for a while, Matt had watched her dancing and laughing with the “girls”. He had gone over and hung out with Jay and Adam who were Trish and Torrie. Jeff and Lita were still making out somewhere. He was enjoying himself; he couldn’t wait until Angela came back to him though.
A few minutes later......
Matt was holding Angela gently against him, as they watched some friends dancing. Angela was sipping her wine and laughing at Jeff who had finally let go of Lita long enough to dance a little. Matt reached next to him and grabbed his glass of brandy, he finished off the last little bit left and smiled, he was having such a great time.
Angela set her wine down on the table next to Matt’s empty one and glanced at Matt who was holding her close against his chest. She picked her head up from his shoulder and glanced at Matt. He was so warm and she was finding herself more and more attracted to him. Matt was smiling at Jeff who was circling in on Lita. He chuckled. Angela watched him, he was so cute. She snuggled closer against him and he glanced at her smiling. Matt leaned his face closer to hers feeling her soft face against his. Angela sighed, it felt so good to be wrapped in Matt’s strong, warm, safe arms.
“You okay?” Matt whispered softly as he held her a little tighter. She felt so warm and soft, and he just wanted to hold her. Her hands were still cold though. She smelled so good,and he wanted to say so many things to her that he knew he couldn’t say.
She closed her eyes and felt his breath on her, she wanted to melt, Matt was so incredible! She sighed smiling, she didn’t open her eyes but she whispered softly,
“Yeah…” Matt watched her snuggling in his arms her eyes closed, she looked like an angel.
He grinned. “You having a good time?” Matt asked softly rubbing his hands on her bear arms trying to keep her warm. She was always so cold - especially her hands.
Angela turned quickly facing him as she snuggled against him, Matt held her tight closing his own eyes.
“A huh…” She mumbled softly. Matt slowly let his hand move up her back and he smoothed her hair gently, he heard her sigh as she looked up at him. Her eyes meet his and Matt stared at her. He wanted to kiss her more now then he had before.
He reached up and pushed her bangs away from her eyes, then he touched her cheek gently. Matt’s heart pounded. Angela felt like she was on fire, Matt was driving her insane! Matt pulled her closer against him as he watched Angela close her eyes briefly and then open them smiling sweetly at him. She slide her arms around his neck, hugging him.
Matt wished her could freeze time so he could just hold her in his arms forever. Matt swallowed and sighed, “I was thinking… I have a good idea for your debut...” He whispered. Angela looked up at him slowly staring at him curiously.
“Really?” She asked smiling at him.
Matt shook his head, “How ‘bout I buy you another drink…white wine? Matt paused as she blushed, “and we can go sit talk about it?” Matt asked touching her cheek again lightly.
Angela stared at Matt, what was happening to her will power, her fear of trust? She never acted this way around a guy, especially after the Ray situation, even if it was a guy she liked. But Matt..... he was completely different, she felt so.... right with him. Was she meant to be with him? She felt so vulnerable, but she liked it, Matt made her feel safe, and she just savored his touch, everything about him she longed to have. Matt affected her in a way she never felt before, there is something about him that makes her weak, makes her crazy, she never wanted anyone the way she wanted him. His touch, his smile, his eyes, his voice, his smell, his body, everything about him drove her crazy, she wanted him so badly. What had he done to her? Her fear of trust, and lust seemed to disappear at the sight of his smile and feel of his touch. She trusted Matt more then anyone she’d ever met, she trusted him with her heart. She wanted him more then anyone else she’d ever known.
She sighed grinning at him, “I could go for some more wine…” Angela whispered.
Matt chuckled, “I’m glad.” He whispered making himself let go of her. “I’ll meet you back at the table...okay?” Matt asked whispering close to her ear.
Angela closed her eyes, she took a deep breath and shook her head, “I’ll be there...” She whispered softly as she felt Matt touch her arm, she opened her eyes and glanced down. Matt’s fingers slid softly down her bare arm and he brushed his fingers against hers lightly, making Angela tense at his amazing touch. Angel clenched her other hand tight so she could fight back her desire to pull herself back into his arms and kiss him.
Matt got to the bar and leaned against it taking a deep breath.
Meanwhile...
Angela was making her way through the crowded dance floor, when she heard someone yell her name, “Angela!” She turned around and saw Lita coming towards her.
“Hey.” Angela said as Lita followed her to their table.
They were sitting next to each other when Lita spoke again. “You and Matt look like you’re having a good time together!” Lita said giggling as Angela grinned.
Angela blushed glancing down, “I’m having a great time, Matt’s so sweet, I feel so right in his arms, he’s so...ahh I dunno...” Angela shook her head trying to pick a word to describe Matt.
Lita laughed, “Incredible, sexy, handsome, hott, perfect, nice, funny, amazing...what!?” Lita asked shrugging, Angela smiled shaking her head, Matt was all of those things.
Angela grinned, “I dunno...I just really like him... a lot. I dunno what’s happening to me, Lita, I trust him with my heart, I look at him and I ache for him to kiss me! I want him to so badly!!!! I want him to want me as badly as I want him, what’s
wrong with me?” Angela asked setting her head on the table.
Lita smiled, Angela had a huge crush on Matt, she knew Matt was falling for her, she had to get them together!
“Angela! You want him, your falling for him, you like him, go for it!” Lita urged smiling at her as she glanced up at her laughing.
Angela sighed, “I dunno! What about Ray?” Angela asked suddenly startling Lita.
“What about Ray?” Lita asked staring at her surprised.
“I just mean, I can’t get hurt like that again.” Angela said softly.
“Angela you said it yourself, you trust Matt already, with your heart! Forget Ray, he can’t hurt you! It has to be obvious that Matt wouldn’t… couldn’t hurt you, Angela he likes you a lot! Forget Ray!” Lita said grabbing her hand and squeezing it tightly.
They sat silently for a few moments until Angela spoke, “You’re right!” She sighed, “Where’s Jeff, I mean the way you and him have been going at it all night I wouldn’t be surprised if he was getting some ice for his swollen lips!” Angela said as Lita burst into laughter.
Angela smiled at her, Lita rolled her eyes, “He went to the bathroom, he’ll be back in a little while.” Lita said yawning. “Now that were on the kissing topic,” Lita paused as Angela laughed, “Has he kissed you yet?” Lita asked watching Angela frown slowly.
Angela glanced down, she sighed, “If he had you would have heard about it by now!” Angela said laughing as Lita smiled. “No not yet, I hope he does...” Angela said looking back to Lita.
Lita smiled, “Matt’s a real romantic, he waits till he feels like everything is perfect, the lighting, the place, the music, the whole nine yards, give him time, he will, I know it! He likes to make it so that its a kiss you can’t forget!” Lita said smiling at her.
Angela smiled, “Sounds worth waiting for…” She said shivering as she pictured Matt holding her tight in his arms and catching her lips in his and kissing her deeply, whispering sweet words against her lips. She sighed, her body ached, her lips felt tingly just thinking about it. She smiled.
“It is.” Lita smiled recalling the first time Matt had kissed her. Thinking back on it now it was really romantic. Lita giggled, “I remember the first time Matt kissed me...” She said as Angela stared at her curiously.
“Ohh I gotta hear this! Tell me!” Angela pleaded watching Lita.
Lita smiled, “Well it was years ago, we were so young, he was still just as sweet as he is now.” Lita said smiling. “We had known each other for a long time... well we were at the gym late one night, and we made a bet.... about something,” She said shrugging, “and I won. I was lying in the middle of the ring laughing because he was being a baby because he lost the bet to me!” Lita giggled. “Then he laid down next to me and we faced each other talking and goofing around. I had, had a huge crush on him... I thought he was adorable! I heard rumors from mutual friends that he liked me, I just considered him my friend though at the time. We grew silent and I laid back staring up at the ceiling thinking, I remember Matt said something really sweet to me and I turned my head and looked at him. I remember... I started giggling at what he said and started to sit up, when he reached over and gently pushed me back down. I remember his smile as I watched him lean over and felt him kiss me. What a kiss. Now that I think back on it, it really is sorta romantic... isn’t it?” Lita asked smiling as she started at Angela who was biting her bottom lip.
Angela smiled shaking her head. “That’s so sweet!” Angela said giggling. “Ohh my gosh!”
Lita laughed. “It was, Matt is gonna kiss you in his own special romantic way and it’s gonna be so worth the wait!” Lita said laughing excited for Angela. Just thinking about Matt and Angela kissing made Lita excited, she was so going to get them together!
Meanwhile...
Back at the bar Matt was rubbing his head, Angela was so beautiful, he wanted her so much. He sighed as the bar tender came over and stood infront of him, “What can I get you?” The big guy asked staring at Matt.
Matt sighed, “Umm... one brandy, and a half a glass of white wine please...” Matt yelled over the counter to him.
“Comin’ right up!” The guy said. Matt sighed as he turned toward the dance floor and leaned against the bar. He looked out at the clubb and saw a bunch of his friends from wrestling dancing and laughing and having a good time. He grinned, he was really happy that he was the one getting Angela’s attention.
He paid the bartender and made his way back to the table with the drinks.
He saw the table before he got to it. He saw Angela and Lita sitting at it talking and smiling. He grinned, he looked at Lita who he considered one of his best friends, and Angela who he prayed he could become more then friends with. His “girls” He smiled.
Lita saw Matt walking towards the table before Angela did, “Hey Angela I’m gonna go try to find Jeff, I’ll see you later...” She said as she stood up glancing at Matt.
Angela saw Matt as Lita stood, “Ohh okay, we’ll dance later all right?” Angela asked looking from Lita to Matt who set the drinks down on the table and smiled at them.
Lita smiled, “Yeah sure! I’ll see you both later!” Lita said as she got up and walked behind Matt.
Lita leaned over close to Matt’s ear, whispering softly to him so Angela wouldn’t hear her, “Kiss her!” Lita giggled.
Matt glanced back at her chuckling. “Get outta here!” Matt said laughing as Lita walked away.
Matt turned back to Angela who was watching him. He smiled as he came around the table and sat next to her. He handed her, her drink and set his down again infront of him.
Angela could feel his eyes on her and she looked over at him. She smiled clearing her throat, “So what’s this idea you have?” She asked as Matt set his arm on the back of her chair.
He grinned, “Well I thought it would be cool if we arranged it with Vince so that we could have this friendship thing happening where you know you come to my rescue and I come to yours, and I dunno, see what happens...” Matt said trailing off as Angela reached up and touched his cheek. Her smile was radiant.
Angela giggled, “Matt you’re so cute, don’t tell me anything else about it, I wanna read the script and see what happens for myself! I don’t care what you arrange with Vince, just surprise me!” Angela said staring at him her eyes sparkling.
Matt grinned, “Okay, I will.” Matt said softly as he grinned at her.
Angela sighed. She took her hand away from his cheek and grabbed her glass. “Let’s make a toast!” Angela said as Matt smiled and took his own glass.
“Sure.” Matt said softly. “To what?” He asked staring at her,
Angela smiled, “To...” Angela shrugged, she didn’t know to what.
Matt sighed, “How ‘bout to tonight, and to the fun were having, and will hopefully continue to have!? And to your welcome, and our embarking on this partnership together.” Matt asked watching her blush as she stared at him.
Partnership! Wrestling with him wasn’t the only partnership she wanted to have with him!
She shook her head, “I’ll drink to that!” She said smiling at him. Matt slide his hand into hers and they toasted. Angela sipped her wine as Matt took a drink of his brandy.
