Chapter 5
A few hours later Lita, Jami and Tasha were walking back
to their hotel. They had finished the photo shoot and where going to get
ready to go to the RAW taping and meet the guys. They were all pretty
hyper, they couldn't wait til they got to see the proofs of the pictures
tomorrow. Most of the pictures would be of them goofing off, like usual.
A reporter, Danny, was following them, taking notes on what they were doing
and occasionally snapping a photo.
Holli had went with the guys. Things had been
pretty strained between Tasha, Jami and Holli, and everyone could sense the
tension in the room.
As the girls entered Tasha and Lita's room, with Danny
right behind them, they were chattering away about the night's show.
"Do we know any of the matches tonight?"
Tasha asked. "All I know is that we are suppose to go out
and rattle on about Stacy, Jaded and Angel, and their challenge .
Jericho comes out to defend them, says a bunch of crap about us, the guys come
out and defend us. Then they do a three on three tag team match against
Jericho and the Duds." Jami said, twirling a strand of her
brown hair around her finger.
The three girls settled on one bed while Danny settled on
the one across from them, still taking notes. The girls had pretty much
forgotten he was even there.
"So, Jami, how are you and Jeff doing?" Tasha
asked, opening a bottle of water and taking a drink.
"Better. We still have our moments, but
it's not nearly as bad. We are learning how to fight." Jami
said, holding a hand out to accept Tasha's water.
"Learning how to fight? Child, there is no
need for you to learn. You are darn near an expert." Tasha
laughed. Jami took a drink of the water before handing it to Lita.
"Well, I guess I should say we are learning how
to argue. We've argued a lot lately, and instead of one of us, mainly
me, running off to 'cool down', we are sticking it out and talking it
out." Jami cleared up. Lita drank from the bottle before
passing it back to Tasha.
"Maybe Matt and I should learn to argue." Lita
sighed. "What are you talking about?" Tasha asked.
"Oh...Matt and I never argue...all we do is let
things go. We smile and pretend nothing is wrong. Like today, when Holli
was flirting with him. I smiled and let it go instead of standing up for
myself." Lita explained.
"You noticed that?" Jami asked,
suprise. Lita rolled her hazel eyes.
"Of course I noticed. I'm not blind. She
was totally obvious, and as much as I hate to admit it, Matt loves that sort
of attention." Lita said. Jami and Tasha looked at each
other. "We thought you didn't even notice what Holli was
doing." Tasha admitted.
"Yeah, I've gotten good at acting. Matt
probably didn't even notice what Holli was doing. He just liked it.
But I figured that if Holli thought I was unaware, she'd keep doing things in
front of me, instead of behind my back. She'll be easier to cut off at
the pass if I can keep my eye on her." Lita admitted.
"AH! That's brillant!" Jami laughed.
Tasha glanced over at Danny. "You are not going to put this in
the article, are you?" she asked.
Danny shook his head. "Probably not.
I'll probably end up just putting a line or two in there saying y'all were
sitting here talking about relationship problems. I probably won't go
into detail." he smiled at them.
"Good, we don't need for the guys to know what
we are saying and I don't want Holli to know that I'm on to her." Lita
smiled.
"Don't worry about her. She's nothing
compared to you three. Just spending a few hours with y'all has already
proven to me that you have more personality that she could ever have."
Danny complimented them
The three women beamed with Delight. "Danny,
your such a sweetie! If I wasn't a married woman...." Jami
joked.
Danny laughed, "Yep. The story of my life.
But if you guys want, I can get another female reporter to cover you." Danny
offered.
"Nah, we can handle Holli. You'll be with
the guys most of the time, right?" Tasha questioned.
"Well, I'll be with the guys in their locker
rooms and rooms and stuff. Holli won't be allowed to be in some of those
places. Whenever you six are all together, both of us will be there.
Sometimes we'll switch to get different view points. But whenever we do
behind the scenes locker room stuff, Holli will be with y'all. But I
also want to assure you three that I have final say over what goes in the
article since I'm senior reporter." Danny assured them.
The three sighed with relief. They had no clue how
far Holli would go to destroy them.
