Matt was in the limo with Joanie, Paul, Adam and Allanah He really didn't want to be in there but this was the only way he was gonna get to Raw that night. There it was, in his face... love. Paul was holding Joanie. Allanah was asleep in Adam's arms. Matt was the only one in the only person without somebody in his arms. He looked at Adam & Allanah like he wanted to cry. Matt knew he deserved someone to love but he still didn't get it.

"I can't wait until Raw starts." Paul said.

"Why is that, sweetie?" Joanie asked.

"Tonight the McMahon-Hemsley Faction is breaking up and I don't have to feud with Dwayne anymore. We were getting sick of that. Do you know how many times we've fought each other? I told the writers we had to change the story lines... ALL the story lines because the shows were starting to get predictable to me."

"Do you still have to be with Stephanie?"

"They're still thinking about that one."

Joanie sighed. Stephanie was cool with her but she was tired of seeing Paul with her on television as her wife. Joanie wanted to marry Paul, she didn't care if it was just a story line. She didn't think it would be this long.

"Stephanie is great to work with. She's gotta be the best actress. She's sacrificed a lot by being in this angle with me. The writers are just trying to help my career, Joanie."

"I know, I know." Joanie smiled.

Joanie & Paul started kissing. Matt looked at them with lust in his eyes. It had been a long time since he tasted somebody's tongue. He turned away. He couldn't stand the sight of Paul and Joanie kissing.

"Yo, Matt." Adam said.

"Yeah?"

"Did you get an invitation to Steve and Debra's wedding?"

The limo stopped. They had arrived at the arena. Matt looked Adam in his eyes.

"I couldn't give a damn." Matt said.

He got out of the car and slammed the door behind him. The last thing he wanted to see was a wedding but it was then that he decided he was gonna tell Amy how he felt about her. He was on a mission now. Adam and Allanah looked at Matt with concern in their eyes. Something was wrong with their friend and they wanted to fix it.

******

Jeff was thinking about Matt that whole night at Raw. He didn't pay much attention to Trish. Matt didn't even come to their dressing room. He was looking for Matt frantically. Trish was still a little mad at Matt for slapping her man but Jeff talked her into forgiving him. Jeff ran into Amy. Amy looked at Jeff but then stared at the floor with a frown on her face. She still felt uncomfortable about having sex with Jeff.

"Uh.. Amy, have you... seen Matt?"

"Yeah. He was on the bus. He's getting dressed in Jay's room."

"Thank God. Thank you so much, Amy."

He smiled at Amy. She turned and walked away. She didn't want to be near Jeff right now even though she had to accompany him and Matt to the ring later.

*********

Amy was in her rental car listening to Kid Rock driving back to the hotel. She hadn't seen Matt since their match earlier. Jay said he had left early because he was sick. Jay told Amy that Matt said to come see her before the night was over. She was wondering what Matt wanted Amy for while she was driving. There was a twinkle in her eye when she thought about what it could be, she smiled to herself.


**LATER THAT NIGHT**

Adam and Lillian Garcia were in Matt's room and they stared at it with amazement. They couldn't believe what they saw.

"Tell Brian I said I'm sorry for what I said."

"He'll be alright. I'll tell him." Lillian said.

"So you're gonna straighten this thing with Amy?" Adam asked.

"Yeah. I told Jay to tell her to stop by tonight."

"Are you still mad at Jeff?" Lillian asked.

"Yes. He hasn't come apologized to me for doing what he did. He knows I've liked Amy for a long time and he's gonna go and sleep with her. That's a bunch of bullshit and he knows it. I don't feel any regrets for slapping him. He's gotta learn to be more mature than that."

"I'm quite sure he's willing to talk about it but you aren't willing. He's tried many times to apologize but you keep walking away." Adam said.

"Well, I guess I shouldn't be doing that if he's trying to make things better. I was wrong about him. I'm the one being immature. I'll talk to him tomorrow. Now, I gotta talk to Amy and hopefully, this will help."

"If Brian wore something like that, I would melt in his arms." She said as she looked at what Matt was wearing.

"Yes, Lillian. We know you love your man." Adam smiled.

"Just like you love Allanah... let's get out of here. Amy should be here any minute. You sure you're okay, Matt?" Lillian asked.

"Yeah. Thanks for your concern, guys. I really appreciate it."

"Anytime. We love you, man." Adam messed up Matt's hair and smiled at him with his white teeth.

"You're crazy. Get out of here." Matt said.

"Bye." Lillian said.

"I hope you and Brian have another great night." Matt said.

"You know we will." Lillian smiled.

Adam and Lillian left Matt's room. Matt smiled to himself. Adam & Lillian were two of Matt's closest friends. They understood everything Matt was going through. Jay did too. He was thankful to have good friends like them. Matt fixed his hair in the mirror. He cut on the music he had just bought. It sounded very romantic, that's the way he wanted it. He cut off the lights. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"Who is it?"

"Amy."

"Come in."

Amy took a deep breath and walked in. She gasped. The lights were off, romantic jazz music was playing and to top if off, candles were lit across the room. She looked around to see Matt. He was wearing this beautiful blue silk shirt with the buttons undone showing off Matt's chiseled and muscular chest. He was beautiful. Amy started to cry. Matt walked up to her.

"Tonight, all my dreams come true... because tonight... is my first night with you."

Matt took Amy gently in his arms and looked into her eyes. He could tell they were both finally getting what they've wanted for so long... love. Matt tilted his head and kissed Amy. His tonuge crept into Amy's mouth. He explored Amy's mouth with his tounge gently and softly. Amy returned the favor by opening her mouth and placing her tounge into Matt's mouth. She caressed Matt's mouth and licked inside of it as if it were ice cream. She pulled him closer. Amy controlled the kiss now. She wanted this kiss to last forever. His chiseled body was pressed her body against the wall. Amy ended the kiss.

"Slow down. Damn, you can kiss. You did all this for me?" Amy asked.

"I'd do anything for you."

Amy smiled. No men in her life ever did so much for her. That's when she realized Matt was different from the rest. Matt gave her a feeling of safety, love and commitment.

"I wanna be with you, Amy. I need to be with you. You're unlike any girl I've met."

He was pouring out his heart to her. He knew what he felt for her was serious and he wanted her to feel the same way.

"If I can't have you, I don't want no one else." Matt said.

Amy gasped and melted into his arms. She wanted to stay in his arms forever. What he just said to her was so sweer. After so many times of getting her heart broke, she never thought a man would want to ever commit to her like that. When she was in Matt's arms, Amy felt nothing in the world could harm her.

"Do you mean that, Matt? Do you really mean that? I've fallen in love so many times... when it turned out not to be love at all. Guys have told me so many lies that I've believed. From those mistakes, I've learned that talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words and look at what you've done for me. Taking time out of your day to make this room romantic... just to impress me. You're unlike any man I've met. I've been afraid to fall in love, Matt, because everytime I do, it never lasts... but when I look in your eyes... I feel no fear. That tells me that what I feel for you has got to be real. I wanna be with you too."

Amy had never opened her heart to anyone like that before. That's what made Matt smile and want her more. He wanted to change Amy's thoughts about love. He wanted her to believe in love again. He felt he was given the responsibility to do that because Amy made Matt believe in love again. A wise man once said, it's better to have loved than not at all. Knowing that, Matt knew what he had to do.

"Say you'll be my girl."

"If you'll be my man."

**Jeff was in his rental car with Trish. Scott and Tori were in the back giggling, cuddling and kissing. They all had went out to eat. Trish thought Scott and Tori were the cutest couple, next to Brian and Lillian. Jeff had a serious look on his face. He wanted to know what was wrong with his brother. He hadn't smiled much and Trish was concerned. She tried to cheer her man up but it didn't work. She could always make Jeff smile.

"Jeff, Matt is fine. He just left early."

"He could've told me! Here I am sitting here worrying my ass off about him when he was at the damn hotel all along. I've been trying to work things out but he doesn't want to listen. Matt is my best friend, Trish. Do you understand that?"

"Yes. That's why I'm worried about you."

Jeff sighed and kissed Trish on the cheek. He appreciated her concern.

"Don't worry about me because by this time tomorrow, this shit will be over with."

"Those girls have been following us in the carever since we left the arena, Jeff." Tori said as she looked behind the car through the window.

"They're just fans." Jeff replied.

"Damn. Girls love the Hardy Boyz." Scott said.

"Well, they can't have him because he's mine!" Trish said.

Jeff smiled. Trish cheered him up but he still couldn't help but wonder what Matt was doing at that exact moment.

*******

Amy had fell asleep in Matt's arms. They had been cuddling. Matt finally had a girlfriend and he couldn't have been more happy. She was so peaceful when she slept. Matt smiled and ran his fingers through her hair. Matt didn't want to seduce Amy. He just wanted to hold her through the night. That's all he wanted. Matt had no doubt in his mind that their relationship would last. He was gonna let anything come between him, nothing. All of his life he wanted someone to love and now, he had it.

*******

The next thing Matt knew, it was seven in the morning. He woke up by somebody that was knocking on his door. He was still wearing his blue silk shirt. Amy was still in his arms. He didn't want to wake up Amy. She was sound asleep. Matt picked Amy up and placed her softly on his bed. He put a blanket over her so she wouldn't be cold. Matt went to see who was at the door. He opened it and it was Jeff. He was hesitant to let him in but he shrugged and told him to come in. Jeff looked at Amy asleep on Matt's bed. He wasn't surprised that she was there. Then again, he wasn't worried about Amy, he wanted to fix things with his brother. He and Matt sat down on the other bed.

"Matt, we gotta talk."

"I know."

Jeff looked at Amy and sighed. He knew what had to do and what his big brother was expecting him to say. He known him for 22 years. He knew what Matt was going to do before he did it.

"I wanna apologize having sex with Amy."

"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to her. I swear Jeff, if you ever take advantage of her like that again, I'll kill you and you better believe it."

"I do, trust me. I'll apologize to her when she gets up. Matt, I don't want you to be mad at me. I shouldn't have over reacted when Trish and I had that fight. I should've been a man about it. I'm sorry, man. I really am."

"I can look in your eyes and tell you are."

Matt grabbed Jeff and tickled him and smiled. He had his baby brother back.

"I still love you, man."

"Same here, Matt."

They had made up. Matt didn't like it when he and Jeff fought.

"I don't got no regrets for slapping you, know that."

"I had a feeling you didn't but I ain't mad at 'cha. I guess you and Amy hooked up, right?"

"Yeah and I'm so happy, Jeff. Look at her, she's beautiful, I'm not gonna let anything take her away from me."

Jeff smiled. He realized Matt really liked Amy. He even sacrificed his relationship with Jeff just to prove it. He was happy for his brother. He wanted Amy and Matt's relationship to last just as much as Matt wanted it to last. He knew Amy felt the same.

"I'm happy for you, man." Jeff said with a smile on his face.

"Where's Trish?"

"She's riding with Lillian and Ivory again. You know they're best friends."

"Oh. Well, I'll leave you alone with Amy. Tell her I said I'm not mad at you no more. Don't try anything, Jeff."

"I won't. I gotta apologize to her, our friendship ain't the same."

"Alright. I'll be back. I gotta go to the gas station and fill up this car. Gas is so damn high these fuckin' days. Tell her I said I love her too."

"I know you do. Bye."

Matt changed into his Pearl Jam shirt and some shorts. He left the room so then, it was just Amy and Jeff. Jeff eagerly waited for when Amy awoke.

*******

Jason and Denise were making out in their room. She frantically took off her tank top and Jason's shirt. She pushed Jason on the bed and she was about to take off her bra but someone knocked on the door.

"Damn it!" She said.

She picked up her tank top and stomped into the bathroom and slammed the door. Jason put on his shirt. He was mad.

"Who the fuck is this? Interrupting me while I'm about to fuck my girl." Scott said to himself.

He opened the door and it was Matt.

"What the hell you doing here, man?"

"I left my Pearl Jam CD here."

"Well, get it and get the hell out."

"Okay."

Matt laughed, got his CD and left the room.

******

Amy woke up and looked for Matt but she saw Jeff instead. She thought she had just had sex with Jeff again. She pulled the covers quickly over her and Jeff knew what she was thinking.

"Amy, what you're thinking isn't true. I came here to apologize."

"Apologize for what?"

"For taking advantage of you, for having sex with you, for not being a man. You don't deserve that. Even though I knew you had been liking me, I shouldn't have did that. You want real love and I can't give you that but Matt can and I hope your relationship with him lasts always."

Amy smiled. That was so sweet. She decided to accept his apology.

"I accept your apoloogy. Matt's not mad at you anymore?"

"No, we straightened things out."

Jeff looked at his watch.

"Look, Amy, I gotta go to a doctor's appointment. Will you be okay?"

"Yeah, thanks for talking to me, Jeff. It helped."

"I'm glad it did, Amy. Oh, yeah. Matt said he loves you."

Amy smiled and looked at Jeff with a very happy look in her eyes. She pulled the covers over her and screamed.

"DAMN, I LOVE THAT WHITE BOY!"

Jeff laughed and left the room. It was good to see somebody happy again for a change. Little did Jeff know, tomorrow would be one of the toughest nights of his life.
