*!I Think We're Alone Now!*

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

Opening the door Matt saw Aurora sitting on an empty crate, obviously waiting for him to arrive.

"It took you long enough man! So what's this news you have to tell me?" Aurora said tapping her foot impatiently.

"What do you mean me? You have something to tell me. That's why you called me in here."

"I didn't call you in here! Shannon told me you wanted to see me."

"Oh this is wonderful." Matt yelled out as the door clicked and locked on the other side, but he was so loud no one heard it click.

"What the hell do you mean Matt?"

"Jeff came and told me you needed to see me, and Shannon went and did the same thing to you. It was a set up."

"Why would they do that?"

"We're not getting along and it's obvious to everyone, so let's just agree we don't like each other and go do our thing in the ring."

Matt went towards the door but Aurora beat him to it. Turning the knob on the door she realized it wouldn't budge. Playing with it for another minute, she cursed at it and sat back down on the crate. They were locked in a closet together.

"What's the matter? Why aren't you halfway down the hallway by now?"

"Matt, they locked us in here. So just sit tight. They have to let us out sooner or later, we have too much to do on the show tonight."

"Oh that's just wonderful! The one place I don't want to be or need to be right now."

"Oh thanks so much Matt. You know how to make a girl feel real amazing."

"I'm sorry that's not how I meant it. I just don't understand why they did it. I don't get the motivation. I mean sure we don't get along but so what?"

"Don't you get it yet? They are obviously sick of us and the way we treat each other. I can't say I blame them actually. I'm not usually this hostile with people; you just bring it out in me I guess."

"Do I treat you that badly Aurora?"

"No you don't, but I don't understand why we argue so much. This is not normal for me, and I don't think you go around doing it either."

"Maybe it's because we are secretly in love with each other, and can't seem to admit it?"

Aurora laughed and realized how nice it felt to do it. It seemed all they had done since she'd shown up was fight and kiss. This was a welcome change from all of that.

"I don't think it's that serious yet Matt."

"Yet? So there is a chance you could fall in love with me?"

Blushing, and trying to hide it, she buried her face in her hands and sighed. It was time to change the subject and fast.

"I hope they let us out soon. It's way to hot in here. I think I could pass out."

"Doesn't work Aurora. You can't just drop it. Not when we are stuck in here with no place to go. So could you fall in love with me?"

"No Matt I couldn't, because you are infuriating and all I want to do when I'm around you is smack you."

Matt smiled and moved closer to where she was sitting. Tipping her chin up and moving her hair out of her face, he looked into her eyes and smiled again.

"You see that's where we are different, because all I want to do when I am around you is this."

Bending down and bringing his lips to hers he kissed her and Aurora was sure she felt the earth move. She deepened the kiss and Matt pushed her against the wall. There was something about this girl that made him want to take her wherever they were, and this time was better then none, after being locked in a room alone with her. She ran her hands down his back and pulled his shirt out of his pants. She found herself wanting this as much as he did, just to know what it felt like to be this close with someone.

"Are you sure you can handle this Rory? What's about to happen here I mean."

Catching her breath, she pulled Matt back to her and he started working on kissing her neck. She didn't have to say a word, and that movement she made had let him know she wanted it too.

"There is nothing I want more Matt."

At that moment they heard the door click unlocked and they immediately jumped apart. This was something that Shannon and Jeff didn't need to walk in on. They separated themselves and just looked up as the two of them came into the room.

"Have you guys got everything worked out now?" Jeff asked trying to keep a straight face. When Shannon had come to him with this idea, he was against it at first, until he realized that whenever these two got together there was something more then tension in the room. He'd agreed and now he found it to be one of the funniest things he'd ever done.

Matt stood up and walked over to his brother and his best friend. Looking between the two of them, he developed a scowl on his face.

"You two are idiots. There was nothing to work out. She's not worth it. I'll see you guys at the hotel later."

Matt shot one last concerned look at Aurora and walked out of the room, and as he walked out Aurora had never been so hurt in her life. His words and his actions told two different stories, but if he didn't think she was worth it, then it hurt more then anything. Her heart walked out the door with Matt Hardy and she just sighed.
