As Aurora sat at the booth with Brock she couldn't help replaying the nights events over in her head. She'd gone from the meeting a week ago and meeting Shannon to sharing a locker with him and Matt Hardy, and then having him drop a bombshell on her. After the promotional spot with Kurt, here she now sat with Brock Lesnar, this giant of a man and having a tea. The night really couldn't get more off the wall.
"So what did you think about your first night on national television?"
"It was absolutely amazing Brock. I actually liked being out there with Kurt. It seems to work really well for the both of us, with him just coming back off the neck injury and all."
"He enjoyed it too, and did you see the reaction from the fans when you guys fired Team Angle? It was legendary."
"I did and I enjoyed it. I don't really know those guys personally, but it felt good firing someone in front of thousands of people. It was just a complete rush."
Brock smiled and took another drink of his coffee. She had wanted tea because it was better for you, and he enjoyed watching her nurse it. They had been talking the entire time they were there, and it was one of the nicest conversations that he'd had in awhile. That was until she took one glance at the door and froze up on him.
Not looking up from her tea, she just sat at the table stoned face, and cold. It was a shock that he had showed up.
"Matt."
"Well if it isn't the new diva in town. Never would have figured you'd come here. It's a little low class for you isn't it?"
"That's funny because I was just thinking the same thing about you, but you beat me to the punch. I didn't think the egocentric types came to coffee shops."
Brock laughed loudly and glanced at Matt before going back to his coffee. It seemed she's already managed to get under Matt's skin too. It obviously wasn't taking her long.
"You wanna join us man? Or do you two want to just call attention to yourselves by trading insults all night?" Brock asked trying to keep his composure by not laughing.
"Actually Brock, I've had a really nice time, but I think I'm going to call it a night and head home."
Matt was a little taken aback. He hadn't meant to make her rush away. He just felt the need to annoy her a little bit. It seemed though, that him just being there had made her uncomfortable.
"You sure you have to leave?" Brock asked.
"Yeah, it's been a hell of a first night and although I'm enjoying myself, I have to fly back to Cameron tomorrow, and I want to at least get some sleep. Maybe we can do this again sometime?"
"I'd like that a lot Aurora."
Grabbing a pen from her purse, and her pad of paper, she jotted down her home number and her cell.
"Take these numbers, just in case we don't see one another around the locker room. You can call me and we can set something up. Oh and Matt, have a good evening." Aurora stated, before getting up and walking out of the shop.
****************
Matt said goodbye to Brock, grabbed his coffee to go, and ran to catch up with her. He knew he had made an ass of himself tonight and he wanted to make it up to her.
"Aurora, slow down!"
Turning around on her heel, he almost ran into her, not knowing she was going to come to a complete stop.
"What now Matt? Didn't you have enough to say about the diva in there?"
"You're making a mistake you know. Dating Brock Lesnar. He's not the right guy for you."
Grabbing her gently by the arm, he burned a hole in her with his eyes. This girl drove him completely insane, and he couldn't handle it anymore.
"And who is, you? You can't possibly expect me to listen to this. It has nothing to do with you."
"When my body goes insane just by being around you, I'm sorry princess, but it has everything to do with me."
Aurora rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but show a small smile. He was being evasive as hell, always telling her what she did to his body, but never elaborating on it, and now she knew she was finally getting to him.
"So do you still want to take me right here, on the ground Matt?" She laughed, until she saw the scowl on his face develop even bigger. Looking away, she composed herself and got serious again.
"It doesn't matter; I just think that getting involved with Brock is the wrong idea."
"Well thanks Dad, I'll keep that in mind when I'm out having a good time with a NICE guy. Are you done now, because I really do have to get back to the hotel and get some rest?"
When he didn't answer her, Aurora got to her car and jumped inside. Revving the engine, she waved at Matt and blew him a small kiss and pulled herself out of the lot, and out of another sticky situation with the elder Hardy.
***************
*************
"He did what?"
"He told me he wanted to take me on the floor of the locker room Beth. It was pretty strange, but exciting at the same time."
Beth couldn't believe what she was hearing from Aurora. This didn't seem like the Matt Hardy she knew at all. He never talked like that around them.
"Are you sure that was Matt and not someone else?"
"I'd know Matt anywhere Beth, me and Jeff are best friends you know."
"I do know believe me. You're almost like family now, at least that's how Jeff sees it now. He told me so recently. Did we mention how good you looked on TV with Kurt?"
Cradling the phone in her hand she couldn't help but smile. It was nice being home and hearing her friends thought she was doing great. In all the admiration she'd almost forgot the reason she called to begin with.
"Is Jeff free to go out still? He wanted to get together last week but I had the meeting to go too. I wanted to make it up to him."
"Yeah he is, so come on over and get him. The Vette is still in the shop from the accident, and at least I know with you driving, nothing is going to happen to him."
"Okay I'll be there as soon as I can, I just want to get ready and do some things around the house first. Tell him to sit tight, it won't be long now."
Putting the phone back on the hook, Aurora glanced outside and saw a car pulling into her lot. She didn't recognize it so she went to the door and opened it. She didn't expect to see the two guys that got out of the car at all.
******************
"Hey gorgeous! Nice day for a drive huh?"
Aurora burst out laughing. Leave it to Shannon to lighten the mood. She was really glad she'd met him first. He had a way of making any moment more relaxed.
"That it is, but what brings out guys here? I don't remember telling you where I lived."
"You didn't, but when you pester Jeff enough when he's busy, he'll tell you just about anything you want to know."
Still smiling from the last Shannon comment, she chuckled to herself. She'd gotten to know Jeff well since moving to Cameron, and she knew Shannon was right. When Jeff got into one of his moods, there was no stopping him. He'd give up anything not to be bothered.
"Sounds like Jeff. So what brings you by?"
"Well Matt here wanted to apologize for being an ass, and Crystal had some stuff she wanted me to buy at the store, so I tagged along."
"Crystal is?"
"My wife. We're newlyweds actually. So I'm still running all her errands for her."
"You want to come in? It's boiling out here, and I figure a good apology is better done inside." She moved out of the way and let Shannon and Matt make their way in first. Standing behind Matt, she couldn't help taking a quick look at his butt. What she didn't count on was him turning around and catching her in mid stare.
"You like what you see Aurora?" he asked quietly so Shannon wouldn't hear. He didn't need to get ribbed on by Shannon when they finally decided to leave.
Aurora blushed and made her way up to where Shannon stood near the kitchen. She wasn't even going to dignify that with a response. She knew she was caught dead on and didn't want to make anything big of it. What she did need was some distance.
"I just finished making some homemade iced tea, do you guys want some?" she said making her way into the dining area.
"Actually I would love..."
"We have a lot to do today Shannon, so lets just get this over with can we?" Matt asked, a little pissed off and although he didn't want to admit it, frustrated too.
"I'd love some iced tea, and put lots of ice too. Just for effect." Shannon replied with a smile, completely ignoring Matt. He was the reason they were there in the first place, and he better soon realize it.
"I'll help you Aurora." Matt chimed in realizing he'd completely lost the fight and might as well go along with it.
They made their way completely into her kitchen while Shannon made his way back to her living room. As she poured some iced tea into cups, Matt came up behind her and smelled her hair. Just about everything about this girl made his mind and his body insane. He couldn't fight the need to be near her anymore.
"You smell amazing." He whispered into her hair.
"You must smell the iced tea, it is pretty strong."
"No, I do smell you believe me. So you have any idea what you do to me?"
"I'm thinking along the lines of I make you sick, nauseous actually. That's what you give off when you're around me Matt."
"You don't make me sick, actually far from it."
"You could have fooled me Matt. Even now, you can't wait to get out of here. You really don't have to lie to me, I'm a big girl."
Turning her around, making sure nothing was in her hands, he moved in very close, pushing himself against her lightly. Rubbing up against her, she let out a soft moan.
"Does that feel like I'm lying to you Aurora?"
Moving quickly away and turning around, so Matt wouldn't see her flushed face, she continued making the iced tea, not wanting to answer him back right away.
"Aurora?"
"Hmmm?"
"Are you going to answer me?"
"What do you want me to say here Matt? You're attracted to me sexually, so what?"
"Are you attracted to me too? Because I could have sworn I heard you moan a second ago."
"So what if I did? What does it matter?"
Spinning her around again, he looked at her with those big brown eyes and she almost turned to mush right there in his hands.
"Don't go out with Brock again Aurora. There's something here, I can feel it, so just don't go out with him."
Still lost in his bedroom eyes, she had to shake her head to pull herself out of it.
"You don't want me to see Brock again, but you don't want to make a move yourself?"
"Would you accept it if I did? After how rude I've bee towards you?"
"We only have one way to find out don't we Matt? If that's your way of apologizing, and saying you were wrong, I forgive you too by the way."
This girl infuriated him and he knew he was at his breaking point. He knew Shannon was in the other room but after all the bickering, he didn't care anymore. It was time he put his money where his mouth is.
Seeing that she'd gone back to mixing the iced tea, he turned her around again to face him. He put his lips to hers, and as her tongue met up with his, they both deepened the kiss; He put his arms around her urgently, pushing her for more. He knew she might not be ready, but he just wanted to taste all of her. Hungrily, he moved his hands up and down her back and explored the inside of her mouth with his tongue. Before they could both break away themselves, they heard Shannon cough lightly.
"Am I interrupting something guys?"
Pulling away from each other quickly, they both looked up at Shannon, flushed and embarrassed. Matt wasn't known for doing something this outrageous, and the fact that Shannon had caught them in the very heated moment, it could only mean bad things lay ahead.
"I was waiting for you guys to bring the iced tea, and when it took longer then expected, I came in to check on you, and well you obviously weren't killing each other."
"Look man it was nothing, let's go have that iced tea then, shall we Aurora?" Matt asked quickly grabbing the glasses and following Shannon into the other room.
"Just for the record Matt I want to say I told you so. I explained to you that she'd grown on you and from the looks of what I saw in that kitchen, she got you hook line and sinker. Didn't she? I told you she would be a force and you'd have to take notice of her. It seems to do more then that too." Shannon asked looking up.
"It was nothing man, so let's just drop it and have the iced tea and get the hell out of here. I've had enough of Aurora Rivers for one day."
****************
*********************
"So Shannon called me before you got here. He brought up something interesting."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, he was convinced he saw you guys making out in your kitchen."
"Who?"
"You and my brother. Is there something going on between you and Matt that I should know about?"
Aurora blushed and lay up on the gas pedal. She hadn't realized how hard she was pushing down on it. This was something she didn't want to mention to Jeff. It was bad enough with just her knowing.
"We were not making out! It was just one kiss. Gosh everyone acts like we aren't adults here. I am his age you know."
"I know, and I trust that you know what you're doing. You are an adult, and you are my best friend. I just want you to be careful because Matt's not like me."
"I wasn't caught kissing you was I? There's a reason for that Jeff."
"What? You don't find me hot?" he lowered his eyes and whimpered like a wounded bird for effect.
"Oh stop it! You're killing me here. Honestly Jeff, it doesn't matter anymore. It was one kiss and that's all. Your brother doesn't want me, and I don't want him. I think we just wanted to see what it would feel like."
"Then why didn't you kiss me and Shannon that way?"
Aurora laughed and hit him on the arm harder then she'd intended.
"Because Matt's not my best friend and you two are. Now where are we going?"
*******************
"Hey Rory! Have you seen the script?"
"No but should I be worried?"
"Not unless facing Charlie Haas in your first match is bad. I happen to think it kicks ass."
"Thanks Brock, I think so too. So what does the champion have planned tonight?"
"A facedown with Kurt and a rematch with Paul. You do know the Big Show right?"
"Yes I do, but are you sure that's safe Brock? Don't you still have some bruised ribs to concern yourself with from the last fight?"
"Nothing I can't handle. So later on, do you want to get together again? Finish where we left off the other night?"
Aurora thought about what Matt had told her to do concerned Brock and although part of her wanted to do what Matt said, the rest of her had fun with Brock and wanted to see where it would go. It wasn't like Matt gave a damn anyways. He only felt the need to kiss her, not actually admit to going out sometime with her.
"I'd like that Brock; I'd like it a lot. I'll come meet you when the show is over. Have a good match out there, because I'll be watching." Aurora dropped a small kiss on his cheek and made her way down the hall. Instead of sharing with Matt and Shannon this time, she'd decided to bunk up with the girls. She didn't need a repeat of the week before events.
"Hey Aurora, can I see you for a second?"
Turning around she saw Shannon running up to catch her. A little out of breath when he caught up to her, he raised his hand up for her to wait until he could catch his breath before she talked.
"What's up Shannon?"
"Matt asked me to come get you. He needs to talk to you about something wrestling related. He's in the second room on your left hand side. He'll be waiting."
"Are you sure? We're not in any story lines together."
"It's something Stephanie just called him on. You might want to go see what Matt has to say."
"Oh alright, you said second door on my left?"
"That's the one. He said he wanted some privacy so it's the closet; just don't be put off when you see it."
"Whatever Shannon. Listen thanks for letting me know I'll talk to you later."
"No sweat, see ya later Rory!"
As she made her way down the hall, Jeff came out from behind the big wardrobe blocking the hall. With one look to Shannon, he headed towards Matt's locker room. It was now show time.
***********************
"Rory wants me to meet her where? You've got to be kidding me right?"
"No bro, it's the janitorial closet, but she wanted to have privacy from all the women she's sharing with. She's there now, so you should go meet up with her."
"Alright man, although I can't figure out why you're here on Smack down with me. Go find Shannon and tell him to meet me back there because we have a backstage promo spot coming up and I don't want to miss it."
"Will do Matt. I'm here on Smack down because it's been awhile since I got to visit and see you do your thing, that's all. Now it's the second door on your left right there. She should be there waiting, at least that's what she told me."
"You do realize that she doesn't like me, so this could all be a set up, and I could take the fall right?"
"Just go bro, believe me she didn't set this up. It's all just an honest thing. I wouldn't like to you Matt."
"You better not be Jeff, because I do know where you live."
