I walked down the hall in a dress that I never thought I would be caught dead wearing. It was tight, black, and vinyl. It was low cut but at least it was long. I am supposed to be Edge and Christian’s sister. I don’t look like them, I think, except for my long blonde wavy hair. They are both much taller than me, being that I am only five foot three. It is so exciting that I am becoming a valet in the WWF. A few months ago I was still deciding whether to get a job near my home in New York or move to North Carolina, where there is less snow.
My friend Laurette had just moved to North Carolina. I went to visit her and look for a job. Laurette and I went to a club the night I first got to North Carolina. We flipped a coin to see who would be designated driver for our night out! I lost. When we got to the club, Laurette headed straight to the bar. I held back near the tables. I found a seat at an empty table and kept an eye open for Laurette. She came back holding her Mudsilde and a soda for me. After she was finished with her sixth drink, she decided we had to come to a dance club and we were going to dance!
"Come on, Em," she said staggering and trying to drag me to my feet. “ we’re going to dance.”
Just as I stood up Laurette fell down. When she fell she knocked into a guy standing behind her. I didn’t see him turn around while I was bent over trying to help Laurette up off the ground.
“Stand up, Laur. You are making a scene! You are hitting into the other people here! Get up!” I screamed at her.
“It’s okay.” said a voice from above my head. “I am sure she didn’t mean it.”
“She’s gotta learn not to get like this. . . ” I snapped at him as stood up straight, dropped Laurette, and turned around. “Oh My God, I am so sorry! I didn’t realize who you were.”
“Why should who I am matter?” He questioned me. “She still didn’t mean to hit into me.”
“Yeah but you’ re . . . you’ re . . . you’ re . . . “
“Shhh! I know who I am but I don’t know who you are.” he said cutting me off and extending his hand.
“ . . .Jeff Hardy.” I said finishing my sentence.
“No, I am Jeff Hardy. You are?”
“ Oh, uh, yeah, . .My name is Emma-Leigh Landly. My drunk friend on the floor here is Laurette Nickol.” I said as I could feel my face turning bright red.
“Let me help you help her up, Emma-Leigh.” Jeff said picking a now passed out Laurette off the floor.
“You can call me Emma . . . if you’d like, I mean. “ I said pulling out the chair so he could sit Laurette in it, still a bit embarrassed.
“Okay, Emma.” He said putting Laurette in the chair. “Would you like to go dance?”
“I would love to but I think I should take Laurette home.” I said apologetically. “ She is a bit too drunk to stay here, especially by herself.”
“Don’t worry about it. I can send Matt with her in cab home if you want. Then we can maybe get to know each other better.” he said smiling, his green eyes sparkling.
“I don’t know,” I said hesitating at the thought of a stranger, no matter how good looking and famous he was, taking my friend home when she is drunk. “ Maybe I can take her home and come back out.”
“Okay,” he said “but let’s not meet back here. Let’s go to some place quieter.”
“Okay , but I don’t really know my way around here because I am from New York. I am staying at the Hilton. They have a lounge there if you want to meet me there in about a half an hour. That gives me enough time to get her home and in bed.” I said after I had gotten over the initial shock of meeting Jeff Hardy.
“Sounds like a plan to me! I will meet you in the lobby at one thirty.” He said kissing my hand.
“Okay see you then.” I replied with a smile.
Jeff helped me get Laurette out to my car. I brought her home, put her in bed, and left her a note to call me when she got up.
After I checked my hair and touched up my make-up, I headed back to my hotel where I knew Jeff would be waiting for me in the lounge. I hopped back in my car and looked at myself in the mirror. Then it hit me! I was going to meet Jeff Hardy at my hotel! I screamed! He was by far my favorite wrestler.
I had not been watching wrestling for that long. My brother got me into it. I would go to his house and watch it with him and his wife. The first time I saw the Hardy Boyz I went crazy! I loved how they were so acrobatic, so talented and so damn sexy!!
I got back to my hotel at about one thirty five. I walked into the lounge and did not see Jeff. I looked down at my watch and looked up again.
“Emma, over here.” Jeff said calling me over to a booth in the corner.
“Hi,” I said blushing again.
“Here sit down.” He said sliding over in the booth. “How’s Laurette?”
“Sleeping, thank God. “ I said giggling.
“Yeah, I brought Matt home to sleep too. He was a bit wasted, too. If I knew he was that drunk I would have never offered from him to take Laurette home.”
Jeff and I sat and talked until the sun came up. It was about a quarter to seven when I looked at my watch again. Jeff must have noticed me look at my watch because he asked me what time it was.
“It’s almost seven.”
“Wow.”
“ I should probably go upstairs and get some sleep. I have to go out looking for a job later.” I said starting to stand up from the booth.
“Yeah it is late, or early actually.”Jeff said standing up too. “ But how about you put off looking for a job later and come down to the arena with me so you can meet my friends. I’ll be leaving in a couple of days and I want them to meet you.”
“That defiantly sounds more fun than job hunting! Sure.”
“Great! I will pick you up at five. Is that okay?”
“Perfect. I’ll see you then.” I said as I turned to leave.
“Hey Emma, one last thing.”Jeff said grabbing my arm and turning me back towards him.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“This.” He said as he kissed me softly and sweetly on the lips.
I nearly melted right then and there. Not only was going to meet the rest of the WWF superstars, I was kissing Jeff Hardy! I pulled away from his kiss and just stared at him with a blank look on my face. I pinched my arm.
He said “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that with out asking.”
“Oh, no, there was nothing wrong! I just didn’t want to wake up and find out this wasn’t real. I just needed to pinch myself.” i said.
“Oh, “ he laughed slightly. “Okay.”
“ I will see you later then.” I said as I gave him a peck on the cheek and walked away.
I could feel him watching me walk away. I peaked over my shoulder. I saw him watching me so I turned and waved and flashed him a smile. He smiled and waved back and watched me till I got in the elevator. As the doors closed, I saw him turn and walk out. I had a permanent smile plastered on my face.
About three o’clock Laurette called me.
“I had the weirdest dream, Em.” she said to me. “ I dreamt we meet Jeff Hardy and he helped you bring me to the car at the club. That is the last time I let you watch wrestling while I get ready to go out.”
“Hey Laur, wouldn’t it be great if your dream really happened? Say like after you drank six drinks and knocked into Jeff while you were drunk off your ass?” I said mockingly.
“Oh my God, you mean it really happened! I feel like such an ass! Well at least he doesn’t know my name.”
“Don’t be so sure , Sunshine! Jeff came to my hotel last night and we talked until almost seven! He kissed me!! And then we made a date to go to the arena and meet his friends this evening!”
“You lie!”
“I am so not lying! I am going out with Jeff Hardy tonight! Plus I am going to meet his friends.” I screamed!
“Calm down, Emma! Can I come?”
“Eww. . . .Do I ask to go on your dates?”
“No but do I ever get to meet WWF superstars?
“Good Point . .. I don’t know he is coming to get me at five. I'll see what he says.”
Jeff called me about four to ask me if I wanted to go to dinner after the show.
“I just thought I was going to meet your friends. I didn’t know you wanted me to go to the show too.”
“Oh, well you don’t have to go to the show if you don’t want” he replied sounding a bit disappointed.
“Oh no, I’d love to go to the show and out to dinner with you after, too, but can Laurette come to the show too?” I asked.
“Sure, I am sure Matt would love for her to come. I know he thought she was pretty. We can all go out to dinner together.”
“Great, She’ll be excited!”
“I’ll see you an hour then! I can’t wait to see you. Bye Emma.”
“Bye Jeff.” I said back trying hard for him not to hear me smiling.
Jeff and Matt came to pick Laurette and me up at five. Jeff introduced me to Matt. I introduced Laurette to Jeff again, being that she didn’t really remember meeting him the night before. We then introduced Laurette and Matt. They hit it off right away. Matt told Laurette he had noticed her at the club but was too drunk to go up to her. She told him it was okay because she was too drunk to have anyone come up to her. We drove to the arena. Matt and Laurette were in the front talking. Jeff and I sat in the back. We didn’t really do much talking although we were using our mouths. At one point, Matt looked in the rear view mirror and saw us making out. He told Laurette to look. I could hear her giggling. We arrived at the arena and went to the door where the wrestlers walk in. There were hoards of fans waiting to see the Boyz arrive. Jeff held my hand almost the whole time we were walking in, except when he was signing autographs.
After we finally made our way in, Matt and Laurette headed to Matt’s dressing room. Jeff and I walked around looking for his friends. The first people we ran into were Chris Jericho and Chyna. They were talking about their match with the Holly’s. Jeff introduced us.
“Guys, This is Emma-Leigh.”
“Emma please,” I said extending my hand “nice to meet you, Chris. Chyna.”
Chris whispered something into Jeff’s ear. I couldn’t really make it out. All I heard was “She’s cute” then he mumbled something else.
“I know. I am going to see.” Jeff said giving Chris a pound.
I looked at Jeff with a confused look and asked, “What was that about?” as we walked away.
“Oh nothing, Don’t worry about it. It is a wrestling thing.” He answered with a grin on his face. I could tell there was something going on in his head! Next we saw Edge and Christian.
“Hey Adam, Jay, I want you to meet someone.” Jeff yelled down the corridor to them.
“Who’s this pretty little thing?” Adam said.
“This is the girl I was telling you about, Emma. Emma, Adam and Jay, Adam and Jay, Emma.”
“Nice to meet you.” I said looking up at them and extending my hand.
“So what do you think?” Jeff said. Everyone but me seem to know what he was talking about but me.
“Your right ,dude, she could.” Adam answered.
“Okay now I know this about me! Tell me what is going on here!” I demanded.
“You’ll have to wait till dinner, then I will tell you!” Jeff said with a wink.
“fine” I huffed.
“Well we better go find Matt and Laurette and get you guys to your seats. Then I have to go get ready.” Jeff said as he grabbed my hand. We said good bye to the others and went looking for Laurette and Matt.
It didn’t take to long to find Matt and Laurette. They were in Matt’s dressing room. When we got there the door was locked though. Apparently they had gotten very close, very quickly. After about ten minutes of pounding on the door, Matt came to the door with just his shorts on. I could see Laurette on the couch fumbling to get her shirt on the right way. She had a big smile on her face and she was giggling slightly.
“God, Matt, not even 3 hours.” Jeff yelled at his brother.
“We didn’t do anything . . .bad.” Matt said slyly. “I was getting changed for our match. Laurette wanted to try on my shirt before I put it on so I let her.”
I was in the room at this point talking to Laurette.
“He’s right ya know Emma. The most we did was kiss.” she said still giggling. I could tell she was telling the truth because she giggles like that when she is happy.
“Well, Get dressed so we can bring them to their seats.”
After Matt came back Jeff said to Matt. “ Plus I have to talk to you about ‘you know what’ on the way back here.”
“He keeps doing that, Laur. Like he has a secret about me and he won’t tell me.” I complained to Laurette as we walked out of the room behind them
The Hardy’s brought us to our seats. They were right next to the ring. I was excited. After they left, I told Laurette about meeting Edge, Christian, Chyna, and Chris Jericho. She told me she had not met anyone but it was okay because Matt was an amazing kisser and she had fun with just him.
“You are a crack head, Laur.” I said to her while a gave her a little shove. The seats quickly filled up as we waited for the show. Than final it was time for the show to begin.
The show was so exciting that i didn’t even realize that two hours had gone by. As the show ended Laurette and I stayed in our seats. Matt came out to get us and bring us back backstage.
“Where is Jeff?” I asked.
“We’ll meet him back in our dressing room. He had something to do before dinner.” Matt replied.
“Hmm? Maybe it is about that secret “ I thought to my self.
We got back to the dressing room Jeff wasn’t there. We waited almost twenty minutes for him. He finally came back.
“Sorry I am late, I had a meeting with Mr. McMahon.”
“Wow. why?” I asked. “Are you in trouble?”
“Nah, i will tell you at dinner okay, so just wait a few more minutes.”
Jeff got ready in ten minutes. He put his hair back in a pony tail and put on his jeans and 2Xtreme t-shirt.
“Ready to go?” He asked as he came out of his room.
“Ready as we’ll ever be.” Matt said. “It’s not like we haven’t been ready and waiting on your slow ass.”
“Shut up, Let’s just go.”
When we arrived at the restaurant, we were surrounded crowds of people wanting their autograph. One girl asked Jeff and Matt who we were.
“They are our dates. Emma is my girlfriend and Laurette is with Matt.”
I looked at Laurette and she looked back at me.
“Did he just say I was his girlfriend?” I whispered to her.
“I think so.” She whispered back
I looked at Jeff . He was looking at me to see my reaction. Then he winked at me and smiled. I smiled back with the biggest cheesiest smile. I kissed him on the cheek and walked in the restaurant. Five minutes later Jeff and Matt finally made it into the restaurant. Laurette and I were already at the table. When Jeff got to the table he sat down next to me.
“I have something to ask you, Emma.” He said. “Well actually two things. One more important than the other. First, I hope it is okay that I called you my girlfriend. I have really enjoyed spending time with you these past two days and I hope we can spend lots of time together in the future.”
“But you are leaving tomorrow.” I said confused.
“That’s the second thing. Remember when I was in that meeting with Mr. McMahon this evening. And when Adam and Chris and I sounded like we talking in code?” He asked me.
“Yeah.” I said even more confused.
“Well I was telling Adam and Jason how I thought you could pass as their sister. And I was telling Y2J how beautiful I thought you were and how I thought you’d make a great valet so then I asked Mr. McMahon if you could become the newest valet in the WWF. He said he needed to see you but when he saw you with me after the show he said he’d sign you to a contract if you want.”
“I . .I. . .I . . “ I stuttered.
“You don’t have to answer now. You can think about it if you want it.”
My eyes rolled back into my head and I fainted.
“Emma! Oh my God I killed her.” Jeff screamed.
“You Jackass, she fainted.” Matt said smacking Jeff on the back of his head.
“ Emma, Emma, Em . . . “ Laurette said hitting me on the face. “Emma-Leigh wake up.”
“huh? What?” I said waking up. “What happened?”
“You fainted, sunshine.” Laurette said. “ Jeff asked you if you wanted to be in the WWF.”
“OH MY GOD!!!! YES, YES YES!!! I would love to be a valet . Do I get to be with you guys? How do I do it?” I said to Jeff tugging on his arm. “Then I get to spend more time with you, too!”
“Great! I am not sure if you will be with us at first, actually i think you will be with Edge and Christian because you look like you could be there sister with your beautiful hair, but eventually you will be. We just have to bring you to see Mr. McMahon tomorrow. He has a contract for you.” Jeff said right before he kissed me.
I was so excited after that I could hardly eat. After we were all done we left the restaurant and we dropped Laurette and Matt off at her car, went back to my hotel. I invited Jeff up to my room to watch some TV. We were watching “Dukes of Hazard” when I fell asleep with my head on Jeff’s chest. I don’t think he had the heart to wake me or maybe he just wanted to spend the night with me but we both slept on the couch that night. In the morning I woke up first. I realized I was sleeping on Jeff and I almost screamed again, I didn’t want to wake him, he looked so peaceful, so i didn’t. I went into the kitchenette area and put on the coffee. Then I walked into the bedroom. I figured I would take a shower before Jeff woke up. I was just about to get in the shower when I heard Jeff calling me.
“I am in the bedroom, Jeff.” I called back to him.
“Okay” i heard from the other room.
I didn’t think he was going to come into the bedroom looking for me. Just as I dropped my robe to go into the shower Jeff walked in.
“Damn!” Jeff said seeming pleased at what he saw.
“Oh my God.” I screeched. “ i didn’t know you were going to come in looking for me.” i said picking up my robe off the floor.
“I am sorry. I knew you were beautiful but I never imagined that beautiful.” He said I think trying to make up for saying DAMN when he walked in.
“Come on now, Stop it.” I said blushing again.
“ I will leave if you want. I can come back later to pick you up to go and talk to Mr. McMahon.”
“No, you can stay,” I said walking over to him.” Actually you can join me” I said dropping my robe again.
“If you want,” Jeff said putting his arms around me.
I kissed him, slowly moving my tongue across his lips coaxing him to open his mouth. He parted his lips allowing my tongue to enter and explore every bit of his mouth. He moved his tongue around mine and slowly into my mouth. With force he pushed my head back allowing deeper penetration of his tongue within my mouth. I moaned with pleasure. With one swift motion he picked me up and placed me on the bed.
“Are you sure you want to do this now?” He asked.
“Uh-huh.” I answered as I pulled his shirt off over his head.
“Okay, but we have to do it right.” he said kneeling above me, kissing and nuzzling my neck.
“ Okay hold on.” I said reaching for my purse. I pulled out a condom package and put it on the bed. “I want you so much.” I said unbuttoning his pants as he sat in front of me. We went at it for almost an hour. After we made love, showered and dressed we went to the arena.
“ I will bring you to see Mr.McMahon but I can’t stay in the meeting with you okay?” Jeff said to me, as we walked up to Mr. McMahon’s office.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, you’ll be fine.”
“Wish me luck!”
“You don’t need it !” he said then he kissed me on the cheek and opened the office door.
I walked into the office. Mr.McMahon invited me to sit down.
“Thank you.” I said graciously.
“ So you are the girl young Mr. Hardy has been telling me about.”
“I suppose so , sir.”
“Has he told you what we talked about?”
“He said he asked you if I could become a valet, sir.”
“I am not that old, you can stop calling me sir.”
“Sorry , sir. . .I mean Mr. McMahon.”
“Well, Jeff told me that he thinks you could be a valet and just by looking at you I definitely think you have the look. I think if you were to join us here in the WWF we would start you out with Edge and Christian because of your lovely blonde hair. Have you met Adam and Jason yet?”
“Yes, sir. I meet them yesterday.”
“What did I say about that ‘sir’ thing?”
“Sorry.”
“So what do you think? You become a valet. Start off as Edge and Christian’s sister and then we eventually move you to The Hardy Boyz.”
“I think that would be wonderful, Mr. McMahon. Thank you so much.”
“So all that’s left is you sign this contract that we made up for you.” He said handing me the contract.
“May I read it over before signing it?”
“Sure but we leave North Carolina tonight so please have it back to me by six pm.” “I will, Thanks again.” I said standing.
I left the office contract in hand. Jeff was waiting for me outside the office.
“Did you sign your contract?”
“No . . “
Why not?” he interrupted me.
“No . . .not yet” I said starting my sentence over again.” I wanted to read it over before I signed it. I have to have it back to him by six pm. I need some place quit to read this over. Let’s go back to your dressing room, okay?
I read over the contract. Everything was up to my expectations, not that i had many contracts to sign before but i liked everything it said. I brought it back to Mr. McMahon’s office at 4:30. I signed the contract.
“Welcome to the WWF! We are going to call you by your full name rather than just Emma. It sounds more gothic.” he said.
“Okay, I like my name. It is just usually easier to call me Emma than Emma-Leigh.”
“You’ll have to go through about a month of training before we actually introduce you to the public. That will give us time to think up storylines and angles about you. And it will give you time to learn survival moves for valets. It is not all glitz and glamor. There are some falls and some pain I am not going to lie to you. You might get some bumps and bruises but in the long run it is always worth it.” Mr. McMahon explained to me.
“Okay. Well you have about three hours to get packed and say goodbye to your friend. You plane leaves at nine. You will be traveling with Jeff, Matt, Adam and Jason. We’ll see you in Boston.”
I got to say good bye to Laurette at the airport.
“I’ll miss you Laur. I just wanted to say thank you.”
“Thank you? for what?”
“For bringing me to that club, for getting smashed out of your gourd, and for bumping into the newest love of my life. With out you I never would have met Jeff or got this job. You are truly my best friend! I will never forget you for this. I will Fly you up to my first night on TV okay? I’ll miss you!” I said giving Laurette the biggest hug a friend could give! I looked over her shoulder to see Matt standing there. He gave me a little sign that I took to mean her wanted to say good bye to Laurette too. I whispered in her ear “ I think Matt wants to say goodbye too.”
She immediately let go of me and turned around. She ran up to Matt and threw her arms around his neck. I walked over to Jeff waiting for me at the gate.
“He is not going to hurt her will he?” I asked
“ How by hugging her?”
“No silly by breaking her heart.”
“No, I haven't seen him act this way around a girl since his last girlfriend and they had been together since I graduate high school until about 2 years ago. He really likes her. He won’t hurt her.”
“Okay , cause if he does even though he is your brother I would have to kill him.”
“Let’s get on the plane.” He said grabbing my hand.
“Okay let’s go.”
That was the last time I saw Laurette until the night I was to be introduced to the public.
