| While Ryann was in the shower, Jeff was in her room looking around at the pictures and things she had on her walls. Ryann came in the room, and said, �It�s your turn for the shower honey.� Jeff turned around and looked at her. �I�d much rather watch you get dressed.� He walked over and pulled her into his arms. He leaned down and kissed her. �Darling, you need a shower. Now go get in, or I will never get dressed.� �That�s ok with me�� Jeff replied, with a big smirk on his face. �Go, before my brother gets here.� �Alright�� Jeff went to take a shower and Ryann got dressed. She was brushing her hair when the phone rang. �Hello?� �Ry, is that you?� the female voice on the other end said. �Yeah, it�s me. Who�s this?� �You don�t know? It�s Jenni.� �Hey, what�s going on?� �Not much, what�s up? How�s WWE life?� �Good, but hectic.� �So I watched Raw last week, and saw that Jeff Hardy is your boyfriend.� �Yeah�he�s so awesome. So what have you been up to? How�s Dave?� Ryann asked. �Dave is good; we are getting married next May. So I want you to be my maid of honor. Will you?� �Of course Jenni! Congratulations!� �Thanks. So enough about me, what about you? How is Chris dealing with the fact that you are dating Jeff on the show?� Jenni inquired. �You don�t know?� �Obviously not, know what?� �I am not with Chris anymore.� �You two broke up? When?� �Six months ago, right after I won the WWE contract.� Ryann said. �I guess we haven�t talked in awhile. So, are you dating anyone?� �Yes, I brought him home with me. You should come over so you can meet him.� �Well, does he have a name?� �Yes.� �Are you going to tell me what it is?� �Just come over�you won�t believe me unless you see it with your own eyes.� �Just tell me�� Jenni pleaded. �Fine.� Ryann said. �Jeff is my boyfriend. We live together with his brother Matt, in Cameron.� �Come on Ryann, I am serious.� �So am I Jenni.� Jeff came into the bedroom wrapped in a towel, and said, �I have no clothes in here Ryann, so do you want me to go out to the car in my towel?� �No Jeff, here. Talk to my friend Jenni, and I�ll run downstairs and grab our bags.� Ryann handed the phone to Jeff and headed down to the car. Jeff put the phone to his ear and said, �Hello?� �Are you really Jeff Hardy, or is my best friend pulling my leg?� �Well, the name on my birth certificate says Jeffrey Nero Hardy, so I assume I am him.� �And you�re dating Ryann?� �Yes, I am.� Jenni said, �Holy Shit. Tell Ry I�ll be right over.� And she hung up the telephone. Jeff pulled the phone away from his ear, looked at it, shook his head, and then hung it up. Ryann walked back in the door with Jeff�s bag. �I couldn�t carry them all, so I just brought yours.� She handed him the bag. �Did she hang up?� �Yes, she said she�d be right over. Who was that?� �That was my best friend Jenni. We were inseparable during high school, and pretty much until I went to California for Tough Enough. Then she moved away to Texas, and we sort of lost touch.� �I don�t think she believed me when I told her who I was.� �Probably not, I told her that she wouldn�t, but she�ll be here any second. She only lives two houses down the street.� Just then, Ryann and Jeff heard, �Ryanna Kensington, where are you?� yelled out. �That would be Jenni. You get dressed, and then come downstairs.� Ryann gave Jeff a kiss, and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her. She ran downstairs, and met Jenni in the living room. They hugged each other first, and then Jenni said, �Ok, I noticed he had the southern accent, but was that Jeff for real?� �Yes Jenni, it was.� �Then where is he?� �He�s upstairs in my room getting dressed. He�ll be right down. So look at you girl, you look great!� �You do too! You look so happy.� �I am very happy Jenni. I mean, I am a WWE diva, and Jeff Hardy is my boyfriend. All of my wildest dreams have come true.� �I am so happy for you.� Jenni gave Ryann another hug. �Holy Shit!� she said, as she looked up and saw Jeff walking down the stairs. She stood back from Ryann, as Jeff walked up and put his arms around his girlfriend from behind, and kissed her on the cheek. He looked at Jenni and said, �I take it you�re Ryann�s best friend Jenni.� �And you�re Jeff Hardy! Holy shit!!� Jenni said. �That would be me.� �Can I have your autograph?� Jeff laughed a little. �Sure. Got some paper?� Jenni grabbed the closest piece of paper she could find, and a pen, and handed it to Jeff. He signed it, and handed it back to Jenni. �I am going to get the rest of the bags Ryann, I�ll be right back.� Jeff walked out the door, and Jenni asked, �Not to bring it up, but what does Chris think about all of this?� �I really don�t care.� Ryann said. �He�s an asshole.� �So, Dave and I were going to go to the lake today, do you two want to join us?� �That would be cool, just let me ask Jeff when he gets back inside.� �Tell me Ryann, what it�s like?� �What�s what like Jenn?� �What�s it like to be with Jeff Hardy? Is he really as nuts as he is in the ring?� �Jeff is a goofball, but that�s what I love about him.� �You�re in love?� �We are in love with each other, he tells me all the time.� �So you must know Matt too!� �Matt lives with Jeff and I.� �Is Matt dating Amy Dumas?� �No, he�s dating a girl from Cameron named Lexi. She�s really cool, and we are great friends. Matt is awesome. He�s and awesome friend and I am glad I know him as well as I do.� �And what�s it like to be a celebrity?� �I am not a celebrity Jenni, not yet.� Jeff came back in with all of the bags. Ryann and Jenni went over to help him. They carried the bags up to Ryann�s room, and dropped them on the floor. �So Jeff,� Jenni asked. �My fianc�e and I are going to go up to the lake today, and I asked Ryann, and she said she wanted to ask you. So would you like to go with us?� �Sure, that sounds like fun.� �Then it�s settled. I�ll go home and grab my bag, and call Dave. You guys get your stuff together, and then meet me at my house.� �Ok Jenni, see ya later.� Ryann said. Jenni took off out the door and Ryann turned to Jeff. �We don�t have to go if you don�t want to.� �And miss out on an opportunity to find out all your little secrets from your best friend? Never.� �I don�t have secrets Jeff.� �I really want to go. You have spent the past six months with me and my brother and our friends, now I want to get to know yours.� �OK, then lets pack some things.� Ryann grabbed her beach bag out of her closet, and threw a couple of towels and a change of clothes for both her and Jeff into it. Ryann changed into her bathing suit, and Jeff was already in shorts. He threw on a hat to hide his hair, and hopefully to avoid any attention. They left Ryann�s house and walked over to Jenni�s. Dave was just pulling in, driving his brand new metallic blue Ford Mustang. He waved to Ryann as he parked the car. He walked over to her and gave her a hug. �Hey Ryann, welcome home girl!� �Thanks Dave. I want you to meet my boyfriend Jeff. Jeff, this is Dave.� The two guys shook hands. �Nice to meet you.� Dave said. �Likewise.� Jeff replied. �So I just saw Chris at the Mobil station, he was asking if you were home, but I told him no, because I didn�t know you were.� �Thank You! I am not ready to deal with him yet.� �So how is the WWE?� �Hectic.� �So your name is Jeff?� Dave said to Jeff. �You look a lot like Jeff Hardy.� �People tell me that all the time.� Jeff said sarcastically. �Are you a big wrestling fan?� �I wasn�t until I met Ryann and Jenni; they were the two biggest Hardy Boyz fans I�ve ever met. They sucked me right in. How do you deal with Ryann being on the road all of the time?� �We are on the road together.� �They let you travel with her?� �I work for Vince McMahon too.� �Hold on a second, are you really Jeff Hardy?� �Yes, I am. So you didn�t really recognize me?� �I did, but I didn�t think it was really you. Nice to meet you man, I am a huge fan.� Dave and Jeff shook hands again. Jenni came out the front door. �Are we ready to go?� She asked. �Sure babe.� Dave said. Ryann and Jeff got into the backseat of Dave�s car, and Jenni and Dave were in the front. They pulled out, and headed up to the lake. |
