Chapter Four
Matt took a deep breath as he continued to stare at the incredible woman in the ring. A young woman he loved since the moment he meet her... this was one of his closet friends in the world, someone he hadn’t seen in such a long time... here she was. Matt wasn’t sure how to react or what he should do... all he could do was stare at her amazed. Leah was right here in front of him. Matt felt his heart pounding, his excitement and adrenaline began pumping.... here was Leah! This was his Leah!
Matt was still standing amazed when the song ended and he watched Leah lean over the side of the ropes as Vince and some blond guy wearing a suit started talking to her. Matt’s heart skipped when he heard one of the production crew member yell, "Take a 15 minute break!"
Matt watched Leah talking to Vince, then Vince started walking away. Matt stared at Leah as the blond guy threw her a towel and said something to her and she smiled, laughing as he turned to follow Vince. Matt saw Leah lean down and pick up a bottle of water and open it and drink a mouthful of it and then cover the bottle and set it down again.
Matt watched as Amy climbed over the wall then from the front row and leaned against the ring and started talking to Leah.
Matt’s heart pounded and it was Jeff’s voice from behind him the caught Matt’s attention. "Come on... come say hi, she’s anxious to see you." Jeff said as he walked around in front of Matt and started down the ramp.
Matt stood frozen and watched as Jeff yelled to Leah. Leah laughed at Amy, said something and then turned to look toward the sound of Jeff’s voice. Matt smoothed his hair quick and hoped he looked good.
Matt’s heart skipped as Leah turned toward him and Jeff and instead of looking at Jeff to respond back, her eye’s gazed over Jeff and met Matt’s own. Leah was beautiful! Her long shiny blond hair falling around her, and even from the far distance Matt could see the sparkling blue diamonds of her hypnotizing eye’s. Leah looked great..... she looked better then he’d ever remembered her. Her surprised smile was sweet.... her white teeth sparkled and her pretty smiled warmed Matt’s heart. Leah was really here.
Leah’s mouth opened a bit as if to say something but then she didn’t. Leah took a deep breath... Matt was standing there before her... he looked incredible! His long dark brown hair falling over his shoulders, and his sweet smile was like the best sight in the world. He was tall, and his eye’s met hers... those dark eye’s that she could remember getting lost in dozens of times when she looked at him. She loved those eye’s, more then anything.... She allowed her eye’s to move over him quickly, he was amazing... so sexy and handsome and his smile and his lips were awesome! His broad shoulders and strong arms made her wonder... made her curious and excited hoping if she were hugged she’d get the pleasure of being held in them. Leah took a breath staring at Matt. She was happy to see him, more happy then she thought she’d be.
Matt watched as Leah smiled and slowly walked to the edge of the ropes, directly in front of him. Matt took a step forward but then stopped. Matt could feel the pounding of his heart and could only think of how excited and surprised he was to see her there before him. Finally Matt smiled at her his eye’s still staring into hers.
Leah bit her lip gently and smiled again at Matt, "Matt!" Leah giggled excitedly as she laughed watching him.
Matt brushed a strand of his hair behind his ear and smiled up at her. "Leah McCoy... my God!" Matt said smiling up at her.
Leah smiled as she climbed through the ropes and started towards him. "You surprised to see me?" Leah asked as Matt watched her coming closer to him, she was gorgeous.
Matt chuckled, "Yeah I can’t believe it!." Matt said simply as he reached out to pull her into his arms and hug her. Matt pulled her close and hugged her tight, loving the way she felt. Matt picked Leah up, spun her in a small circle and then set her back down.
Matt smelled clean like soap and of cologne, his hair was soft and his arms and chest were strong, warm and hard. Her curiosity had been correct... it felt amazing to be in his arms.... to feel his hug.
Leah felt incredible... she smelled sweet and was warm and she seemed to fit his arms perfectly, Matt held her hugging her softly tightly, glad to have his best friend back... and to be holding her in his arms.
Leah giggled as she picked her head up from Matt’s shoulder and smiled looking up at him, "Matt wow.....how are you?" Leah asked touching a strand of his long hair, "Your hair got so long!" Leah giggled as Matt smiled at her.
Matt smiled, "I’m doing pretty good... How are you... what are you doing here?" Matt asked as Leah smiled.
"I’m fine... I’m great actually..... I’m here to do some live shows, and record a track for the new WWE CD... I’m doing Torrie Wilson’s theme music." Leah said smiling at Matt.
Matt chuckled, "No one told me that! I can’t believe your here! When did you get here?" Matt asked staring at Leah as he walked with her back down towards the ring. Everyone had scattered about, and Jeff had gone off somewhere with Amy so Matt and Leah were basically alone.
Leah leaned against the ring steps and looked at Matt who climbed onto the side of the ring and sat down staring at her. Leah smiled, "I got here late last night. I’m glad I’m here, it’s been great so far! I was anxious to see you and Jeff. I was happy and surprised to see him early this morning.... he was pretty shocked seeing me..... but I was a little more anxious to see you.... I’ve really missed you Matt!" Leah said as Matt smiled and reached out touching her hand gently.
"Yeah I’ve missed you too!" Matt said softly as Leah sighed looking away trying to hide the fact that she was blushing. "I can’t believe your here.... but I’m glad." Matt added as Leah smiled at him warmly.
"When I heard I was coming and I knew I’d see you... and Jeff and I was excited to come an to see what you two do everyday... excited to just see both of you... its been such a long time." Leah said softly as Matt smiled shaking his head agreeing with her as his eye’s met her own.
Leah felt her cheeks growing hotter and see glanced down, "So what’d you think?" Leah asked smiling at him.
Matt smiled, "You were awesome.... I’m speechless...... You’ve got such an incredible voice! It’s beautiful! I just can’t believe your here! You look great too." Matt added softly as Leah giggled.
"Thanks." Leah said softly smiling at Matt.
"So how long are you gonna be here?" Matt asked watching as Leah tossed her long blond hair over her shoulder and sighed.
"For the next two weeks!" Leah announced proudly giggling excitedly.
"Two weeks? That’s great, we’ll get to hangout an everything." Matt smiled as Leah laughed.
"Yeah it’s gonna be fun!" Leah said squeezing Matt’s hand gently.
Matt was about to say something when Jeff’s voice interrupted his train of thought, "Hey Matt!" Jeff called. Matt looked away from Leah and up to the top of the ramp, Jeff was standing there and Amy was at his side. Matt sighed, Jeff always had impeccable timing.
"Yeah?" Matt called back as he looked annoyingly up at Jeff.
Jeff grinned, noticing Matt’s obvious annoyance of being interrupted, especially because he noticed that they were holding hands. "Vince wants to see you about your match tonight." Jeff said as Matt groaned and rolled his eye’s as Leah giggled.
"Okay I’m coming." Matt called as he stood up and watched as Jeff and Amy disappeared back stage. Matt sighed looking back at Leah. Leah watched him disappointed that he had to go and that they couldn’t have more time to talk, it’d been so long since the last time they had. "I better not keep Vince waiting.... we’ve got a lot of catching up to do.....maybe we can hangout later. What’s your schedule like after the show tonight?" Matt asked as Leah sighed, thinking a moment.
Leah knew Rick had scheduled something for her... but she wanted to see Matt, Leah sighed, "I have something to do, but I can get out of it...." Leah started as Matt interrupted her.
"Nah don’t do that... what time do you think you’ll be done?" Matt asked watching Leah as she brushed her bangs away from her beautiful blue eye’s.
Leah bit her lip gently and sighed, "I can get out of it... its not a big deal, I’d rather hangout with you anyways... I haven’t seen you in so long... it’ll be nice to hangout like in the old days!" Leah said softly.
Matt shrugged, "Okay... when do you wanna meet?" Matt asked watching Leah.
Leah shrugged giggling, "Ummm 12?" Leah asked watching Matt.
Matt grinned, "Sounds good, where you staying I’ll pick you up?" Matt asked as Leah smiled at him.
"The Holiday Inn." She giggled as Matt smiled.
"You are? That’s were all of us are staying. What’s your room number?" Matt asked staring at Leah.
Leah grinned, "B161. It’s on the fourth floor." Leah smiled as Matt shook his head.
"I’m on the fifth floor, C218. I can’t believe we’ve been in the same hotel and didn’t know it!" Matt laughed as Leah giggled. "Well in that case where should we meet?" Matt asked smiling at her.
Leah sighed, "How about we met at 12 in front of the pool out back? How does that sound?" Leah asked smiling at Matt.
Matt grinned, "Sounds good to me...." Matt shrugged smiling, "I better go.... hey umm when are you singing live?" Matt asked as he let go of her hand and started walking backwards staring at her as he did.
Leah grinned, "Next Monday night!" Leah smiled excitedly.
"Okay.... Then I’ll get the chance to see you perform!" Matt smiled as Leah giggled not bothering this time to find her blushing cheeks, "I’ll see you later all right?" Matt smiled as he winked at her and grinned.
Leah smiled, "See ya later Matt." Leah said softly , then smiled staring at him, watching as he turned and disappeared up the ramp and off backstage.
Tonight was going to be extremely exciting..... Leah was excited to be seeing Matt, to being able to spend time with him, to grow closer to him once again... to be alone with him!
