| Chapter 3 My bed was put together and my living room unpacked. I couldn’t believe how much I had gotten accomplished. But I knew that I would still be unloading if it hadn’t been for the kindness of my new neighbors. I jumped slightly as there was a knock at the door. I had been in my new home for less than 24 hours and I already had more company than I had in the past two weeks back in New York. "It’s open!", I yelled with a smile. I had always wanted to do that, but where I was from you didn’t dare because you never knew who would be standing on the other side of that door. "I just thought I’d check on ya.", Michelle said as she walked in, "Wow! You’ve gotten a lot done already." "What else have I got to do?", I asked with a chuckle. "I hope you don’t think I’m being a pest. It’s just that when you live out in the sticks and all there is is a bunch of guys, it’s nice to finally have another chick around, ya know?", she explained. I smiled, "You mean we are the female population of Cameron?" She laughed, "Not all of it, but most of them are older women. Except Kristin, but she’s usually at school. And well, let’s just say we don’t get along to great." "Who’s Kristin?", I asked. "Jeff’s girlfriend.", she replied with a huff. He has a girlfriend. For some strange reason that disappointed me a little. "What?", she asked. "Huh?", I asked bewildered by her question. "You looked a little disappointed.", she replied with a sly grin. Was I that obvious? I just smiled, "You know you aren’t bothering me at all. The company is sort of nice." Her face lit up, "So, what can I help you do?" "Actually, I could really go for some dinner. I’m starved. You want to go get something?", I asked. "Sure.", she replied. I grabbed my purse and locked up the house. We got in her car and drove into Fayetteville. She showed me where some things were along the way. We had dinner at some little diner then went by the grocery store so that I could grab a few things. We talked the whole time. I don’t know what it was about Michelle, but I really liked her. I could tell that we were going to be great friends. On the way back to the house, I asked her if she worked anywhere. She said no and explained that Matt made enough money that she didn’t have to and that he wanted her to stay home. She told me all about how Matt and Jeff were these big, famous wrestlers. I didn’t expect that at all. I guess I just always pictured wrestlers as these big, burly, hard ass guys that didn’t give a rat’s ass about anything. And from our first meeting, I could tell that Matt and Jeff weren’t like that at all. "They’re famous?", I asked making a funny face. "Yeah", she laughed, "You wouldn’t know it though. Matt won’t come right out and tell you, but he does like for people to know. He has a little bit of an ego." She held up her hands as if to say that Matt’s head was a little inflated so to speak. I laughed, "What about Jeff?" I was being a little too obvious about my instant attraction to him. Her smile told me that. "Don’t get me wrong, Jeff loves the thrill of it all, but there’s another side to him. He really likes to be at home where no one really cares about his fame. He likes to be alone sometimes. And my dear sweet Matty just can’t stand to be alone." "What about you? Doesn’t he stay gone a lot? That must be hard.", I said. "It gets lonely sometimes when he’s gone, but it makes it that much better when he’s home.", she informed me, "Kristin can’t stand it though. She hates Jeff being gone all of the time. And she uses it against him." "How?", I asked being nosy. "She cheats on him all of the time. then when she gets caught she turns it all around to make him feel guilty. Like she wouldn’t do it if he was home.", she revealed. I just shook my head in disbelief. "But at least I have you to hang out with now. I won’t be so bored.", she said. I was glad too. It made everything seem a lot better knowing that I had someone to hang with. Last Chapter ..*.. Next Chapter ..*.. Chapter Index ..*.. Home |
