*!I Want You To Want Me!*

***************

When Amy and Angel walked into the club, they immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. The music was all over the place; people were either dancing with friends or close to one another, lost completely in the moment.

Angel had never experienced going out like this when she was younger because she was so wrapped up in Shawn's career and her writing. Needless to say, now that she was living here with the guys, she might have to do this more. This was something she didn't think she could get out of her system. The place was really rockin.

They caught Matt's wave in the corner of the club and walked around the dance floor to meet them. Matt gave Angel a hug and pulled Amy down into the chair next to him. Angel knew what Matt was trying to do, because the other chair was next to Jeff, but he didn't have to be so blatantly obvious with it.

"So you got rid of him huh?"

"Matt! That's not nice at all. Chris actually came by and picked him up because someone told him it was okay to be interrupted."

Angel looked at Jeff and saw his eyes gleaming like a kid on Christmas. If she didn't know any better, she might think he did it on purpose. Matt pulled Amy up to dance as they all saw Shane enter the club with his new girlfriend.

"You two get along now, we are going to meet up with Shane and Rebecca."

Jeff looked at Angel as Angel looked right at him. They caught each other eyes and laughed. Maybe things were starting to change for them. At least they were sharing an honest laugh, which was something she hadn't done in awhile.

"Angel can I say something to you, and get no interruption or judgments?" Jeff asked quietly, making her strain to hear him over the music.

"Sure you can Jeff, you know you can tell me anything and I promise I won't judge you. I'm not that type of person."

"Okay well here goes..I like you. I want to get to know you better. I did tell Chris to interrupt your dinner because I wanted you here with us. To be honest, I want to have a little of what you and Matt share, but not be like your other brother. I want to tell you every thought that I have, and when I play guitar I want to play it for you too. I know I only just met you a few weeks ago, but you're beautiful. You have this natural way about you, and you aren't afraid to put that out there for people. Matt talked to me earlier, made me really see what an ass I've been towards you. I did that all because of Jason. I don't know where to go from here because of him. We're close Angel; he's like another brother, not to mention all of us living together. I just don't know what to do, but I had to be honest with you before it eats me alive."

Angel was completely floored by Jeff's admission. She had no idea that he felt that way about her, especially with the way he was treating her lately. She was going to move out because of the tension, but it seemed she had it all backwards. Maybe it was time to be honest with him too. What would Jeff do with that honesty, and would he understand it? She realized there was no other way to find out then to tell him head on. She slowly reached her hand over to his.

"Jason isn't even a factor in my life right now Jeff. He's been exactly what the rest of you have been, which is co-workers and roommates. I'll admit that he's got the wrong impression of me, I think he does have some sort of feelings for me, but it's not returned unfortunately."

"So where does that leave us, or what we possibly could be?"

"It leaves us where we are right now. I'm not looking for a relationship right now. The last time I got into a relationship with a wrestler, no matter how cute he was, it turned out badly. That's something I'm not ready to do again so soon. I think you are so great Jeff. I want you to be able to tell me anything and even sing for me, but just give it time for adjustment before we go around saying we're a couple."

Jeff looked lost in a sea of overactive thoughts. She hadn't expected him to spill his entire soul on the table, but she wasn't shocked anymore that he did. They needed to move on from the standstill they were in and this was the only way to do it if they wanted it to work successfully. She just wished he would talk to her because she needed to know that being open with him wasn't a mistake.

"Angel, you've got all the time you need. God knows I can't maintain a proper relationship being in a different city every night. I'm just; I don't know what I'm looking for here. I don't want to miss the opportunity we might be something great though. Does that make sense?"

"It does, and I'm willing to work on this if you are. Plus according to Vince, I might be primarily on Raw because they haven't been using the talent right, so I might be able to travel those roads with you. That is, of course, if you don't want to go alone?"

"Traveling with you is fine Angel. It will give us a better chance to get to know each other. It could be a real learning experience."

Angel smiled and looked up. She saw Jason there with Chris, almost standing over them. She had forgotten she'd been holding Jeff's hand the entire time. She saw Amy and Matt running behind them, trying to stop the one thing no one wanted right now. A jealous Jason.

"Jay man, when did you get here?" Jeff asked carefully letting go of Angel's hand. He acknowledged Chris standing beside him and pulled out the empty chairs around the table so they could sit down.

"Just got here actually. I called Shane and he told me you were all here, so Chris and I decided to come check it out. It's really wicked in here huh?" Jason said looking around at everyone as they got to the table.

Interrupting the guy's discussion, Angel excused herself when her cell started ringing. She moved to the end of the table to answer it, with some degree of quiet.

"Angel here."

"Angel, its Jim. Are you anywhere near a fax machine right now?"

"Jim no why? Is there something you need ASAP?"

"I need your breakdowns for Raw on Monday night. Vince is in a board meeting now and they need to know what you've come up with. Do you have your laptop with you?"

"Yeah it's in my car, you need it emailed to you right now? If you give me five minutes, I can have it uploaded to you. I know how important this meeting is to Vince."

"Upload it now girl and I'll be waiting. Oh, have you worked on any new angles for Smack down? Stephanie's been calling since your meeting with her, and it seems she was very impressed with your ideas and wants them on paper. Is there a way you can get those to me too?"

"Yeah, they can be too you in about five minutes. You can count on me Jim."

She hung up and ran past everyone dancing and out the door to her car. She knew it looked bad running out on everyone, but this was her job now. No more fooling around. She should have had all of this stuff to them by now anyways. Angel opened her laptop, and hooked into her email and just wrote what she'd been planning for the last few days for Raw.

It was about time someone made Jeff win a match. She just hoped there wouldn't be a conflict of interest if they dated. She wanted to see what he was capable off, extreme or not, because as of late, he was on a major slump. Shawn facing Paul was a gimmick match. She didn't expect it to be picked up by Vince, but she wanted to throw something new into the mix, so it wouldn't be Paul and Scott Steiner all the time. She knew if they did pick it up and used it, then those two would both go out of their way to make it better then a pay per view.

She sent the email to Jim, hoping that was going to be enough for now. She heard a knock on the window and closed her laptop. She didn't need anyone seeing Raw matches before the owner. Just as she hoped, it was Jeff.

"I just came out here to see if you were alright. You took off pretty fast after that phone call came. Is everything alright? Do you need me to do anything for you?"

Angel thought this had to be the sweetest guy she had ever seen. Maybe it was because of the way he was raised in Cameron, but out of everyone in the club, Jeff was the one that came out all concerned about her, and it felt pretty nice.

"Jim called, and he just needed the work I should have had done days ago. So I had to rush out here for my laptop. I can't leave home without it anymore it seems. I'm sorry if I worried you, but you guys seemed to be having a good conversation when I left anyways."

"I have better ones with you, believe me, especially tonight."

Angel felt herself go flush in the face. It seemed that when he decided to talk, he had all the right things to say. Angel was so taken aback by the way Jeff was acting, she was utterly speechless.

"Jeff I don't know what to say to you honestly. I want to be able to take my time and get to know you, but everything you are saying tonight to me, makes me not want to wait. For my own sanity, I can't do that. I've got to go home."

"Do you want me to come with you? I can give Matt the keys to the Vette and just go home with you."

"That's not the best thing right now Jeff. I need some time alone, and I need some no Jeff work time as well. I have to write up some things for Stephanie McMahon for tomorrow night. I will see you at home later though alright?"

"Yeah sure, if I come in too late, sleep well my Angel."

Jeff took her hand in his and kissed it. Angel looked at him, unable to wipe the shell shocked look off of her face. She wanted him to kiss her, but she knew she wasn't ready for everything that came along with that. Jeff wanted to kiss her in just the right time and place, and he could sense she wasn't quite ready, so he let her hand go and got out of the car with a wave.

Jeff watched her drive off and he headed back into the club. It was going to be one hell of a long night now, but he knew he could handle it because the girl of his dreams wasn't so completely unattainable anymore. The best part was he had everyday to show her what she'd be missing.
