| ~ Chapter Twelve ~ |
| It was a beautiful night, and when Ryann and Jeff arrived at the hotel, they decided to go for a walk on the beach. They both removed their shoes and walked barefoot in the sand down to the surf. They walked along the beach behind the hotel, talking about their lives and getting to know each other better. Jeff was starting to lag behind, and Ryann turned around. "What are you doing pokey?" "Taking my time�" Jeff replied. "What are you in such a rush for?" "I'm not rushing." Ryann headed back over to Jeff, and when she was close enough, he kicked some water at her and got her wet. She looked completely shocked, and Jeff started laughing. "Gotcha!" He said, as he doubled over from laughing so hard. Ryann ran after him so he took off running, but Ryann caught him and splashed him real good. His entire back was soaking wet. Jeff turned around, and gave her a real sly grin. Jeff took off after her. It didn't take him very long to catch up. As Ryann was running, she turned to see where he was, and he tackled her. She landed on her back and Jeff fell on top of her. They both started to laugh. Then Jeff said, "It's time for you to get wet." "What are you going to do to me?" Ryann asked. Jeff got up and helped Ryann to her feet. He picked her up off her feet and cradled her in his arms, and headed into the water. "No Jeff, No!" She pleaded with him. "Oh yes, you're going in, whether you want to or not." Jeff said. He got out into the water, and she grabbed a hold of his neck with almost a death grip, and wasn't about to let go. "If I'm going in, I am taking you with me." She said. Jeff let go of Ryann, but she didn't let go of his neck. They both fell down in the water. When they came up, Ryann still had her arms around Jeff's neck. They stood up, but Ryann wouldn't let go. Jeff looked down into her eyes, and for the first time, he saw her in a different way. She looked up at him, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?" Jeff didn't answer her; he just leaned down and kissed her. When their lips parted, Jeff looked at her and said, "Be my girlfriend, Ryann." She looked up at him, stunned. "Did you just ask me to be your girlfriend, Jeff?" She asked him. "Yes, I did." "Will you pinch me?" "Why do you want me to pinch you?" Jeff inquired. "Because I want to make sure I am not just dreaming this. I wouldn't want to wake up in the morning and realize this was all just a dream." "You are not dreaming, Ryann. I want you to be my girlfriend. So will you?" Ryann just stared up at Jeff for a moment. "Is this really happening? Are all of my dreams coming true?" She thought to herself. Then she replied, "Yes Jeff, I'll be your girlfriend." Jeff kissed Ryann again. For the first time in her life, Ryann was finally getting all that she wanted. She was becoming a WWE superstar, and she was now dating Jeff Hardy. "Well, now that we are all wet, we should probably go back upstairs and dry off, and get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow." Jeff said. "Yeah, I need to go buy something to wear tomorrow night." Ryann said. "You'll look good in whatever you wear." Jeff said to her, and he kissed her. Jeff took Ryann's hand, and made their way back to the hotel. Jeff walked Ryann to her room. She opened the door and they both walked in. Matt and Amy were asleep on the bed. Ryann said, "Let's let them sleep, I'll just sleep in your room tonight." Jeff picked up Ryann's bag, and they left the room. They took the elevator to the fourth floor, and found their way to what was supposed to be Matt and Jeff's room. Ryann decided to take a quick shower to get the salt water out of her hair, so she grabbed her pajamas and headed into the bathroom. Jeff grabbed the remote and jumped on the bed. He was watching the television when Ryann came out in her blue silk tank top and shorts pajama set. She walked over to the one king size bed that was in the room and climbed in under the covers. Jeff said he was going to shower, so he went to the bathroom. Ryann took the remote and was clicking through the channels, and Jeff was in the shower. The room got really warm, so Ryann kicked off the covers and just covered up with the sheet. Jeff came out of the shower and climbed into the bed behind her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her real close. Ryann turned off the television, and Jeff whispered, "Goodnight Ryann." She turned over to face him and than she gave him a kiss. "Goodnight Jeff," she whispered to him. They both closed their eyes, and fell asleep in the comfort of each other's arms. |
