Chapter 17

Jeff smiled as he swept a piece of loose hair off Leah's face. She smiled
back at him, knowing her heart wasn't with the ever so painful smile. "I
love you baby." Jeff said leaning down and giving Leah a quick kiss. "I
really do." He said pulling up a sheet to cover their naked, sweating
bodies.

Leah smiled at him. She wished he didn't control her like he did. One brush
of the hand drove her insane and her heart was officially his. She looked
down at Jeff as he pulled the blanket up from the ground. It had managed to
be thrown off as their love and lust took over their needing bodies.

"Ah, Lee." Jeff said looking up at Leah. He lifted the blanket so show Leah
what was left. "There are huge holes in it and the cover is like torn.
Sorry." He said full of guilt.

Leah smiled at him and sat up, taking his hand in hers and leading him back
up to her. They lay side by side as thoughts entered both clear minds from
the event that had taken place. Never before had their lovemaking been so
forceful, powerful or so pleasurable. Leah knew this made it worse of her
behalf. How could she give Jeff up, if she needed too, when her heart was
always and completely his?  She rubbed her face with her hands and looked at
him, seeing him only staring at her with a smile as long as the English
Channel on his face.

"You're not thinking about Chloe are you?"

"How can I be after that?" He asked smiling still. "You always know how to
make me yours."

Leah laughed. "I don't think you will ever be anyone's Jeff. You don't even
belong to yourself."

"That's what you think." He said putting an arm around Leah and pulled her
closer to him. She rested her head on his heart and he smiled at the love he
felt for this woman. "But baby, no one knows the truth about me, but me." He
said stroking the cheek with his free hand. "But go to sleep Leah, I promise
I will be here when you wake up."

Leah smiled, knowing what he and Chloe use to do. "Promise? Like, really
promise?"

"I swear on my life." He said placing a quick kiss to her forehead before
she fell asleep.

"Where is Jeff?" Christian asked as he sat down with Amy, Matt, Chloe, Adam
and Jay.

"With Leah." Chloe huffed. "I'm not surprised by what she wore today."

"What? You mean her favourite jeans and a tank top?" He asked.

"Well dur! They are only her favourite jeans because Jeff likes them!"

"I think someone is getting way too jealous!" Amy said leaning against Matt
for warmth on the cold night.

Chloe huffed again and slouched in her chair even more than she was, to the
point that her back hurt so she sat up again, hating the stares Jay was
giving her. "What is up your arse? If you don't like the way I am, get the
fuck out of my room!"

"You better not be talking to me." Adam said angrily, knowing he and Chloe
were friends.

"Ad, you know I'm not. It's your fuck head of a friend. He won't stop
looking at me! He has lost it completely!" Chloe said angrily. "Stop it
Jason!"

"Look, Chloe, calm down." Matt said standing up and heading over towards
her, embracing her in a tight hug, as he knew how desperately upset she was.
He quietened her tears as he felt them appear on his top, seeking through
the fabric to his soft skin. "Jeff wouldn't deliberately hurt people. He
isn't like that." Matt whispered. "I'm sure this is all a huge
misunderstanding."

"Yeah, HUGE!" Jay said laughing.

"Fuck up!" Adam said throwing a pillow at him. "Chlo, Jeff wouldn't hurt
you. He just needs time to think."

"He has had weeks! Why can't he choose already? Why can't he just go up to
one of us and say it is through? I hate sitting there, waiting for that
dreadful call. I hate waiting to hear it at an arena from someone I don't
even know. I am just sick of it." Chloe said crying.

"If it makes you feel any better. Leah isn't any better than you." Amy said
sadly. "Actually, she is worse off than you are. She is always crying." Amy
said putting her arms out for Matt to walk into as he headed back to his
love.

"You guys made both Leah and I promise that we wouldn't hurt him and we
haven't! He is the one hurting us!" Chloe said angrily.

"How do you know so much about Leah?" Christian asked.

"I talked to her a couple of days ago. Well actually, she talked to me. I
didn't say a word."

"And?" Amy asked sitting forward in her chair. "You two friends again?"

"Hell no!"

"Understand each other again?" Matt asked.

"No, not really."

"Don't want to kill each other?" Jay asked.

"The fuck head gets it right." Chloe said angrily towards Jay.

"That's better than nothing though." Christian said smiling. "Vince will be
happy. He has been yelling at me for even putting you two in angles that
don't relate to each other. He said you two will make a great tag match
against Amy and Stacey at Wrestlemania." He said happily. "Maybe you two can
do it? I will buy you two tea with the extra money I make."

"How does a "get real" sound?"

"Like a get real." Adam said laughing.

Steph sat angrily as she rubbed Christian's arm that was placed around her
stomach. "Why does Chloe, Leah and Jeff get the attention? It has always
been about Chloe. Just because she is younger doesn't mean a thing!" Steph
said angrily.

"Steph, sorry but shut up! I was just with her, she is a wreck so stop
picking on her for once!"

"But it is our time! Everyone should be going, 'oh look at the happy couple'
instead of saying 'I wonder if Jeff has picked yet'. She ruined it for me."

"Us, you mean us."

"That is what I said!" She said angrily and Christian knew better than to
argue his point. "We are dating Christian! This isn't a small deal! We
should be showered with idealism and praises but we just sit here, together
without anyone else. We haven't even been asked on a double date!"

"What is wrong with us sitting here together."

"Chris, you know it gets boring."

"Thanks Steph." He said sarcastically.

"Oh Chris, not like that! It's just, we should be having people around us,
saying how cute we are together and how we will make it through everything
but we don't!"

"Steph, give them time. You always get what you want."

"Damn right!" She said crossing her arms over his arm.

Christian hushed her tears and gave her a quick kiss to the forehead and
kissed her nose then mouth. He pulled back and Steph smiled the first smile
in a week or scowling.
