Amazing


Edge tried to contain the grin he felt coming to his face as he strolled down the arena hallway.

He was still thinking about the plan Stephanie had mapped out for him for tomorrow, and at the moment, he was on his way to the women's locker room.  He had but one thing in mind, one particular diva he had to see and speak to.

Edge managed to stop smiling as he knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

The door opened a moment later, and Christian's girlfriend smiled out at him.

"Hey, Molly...Is Lita around?"

"Yeah - come on in," the petite brunette said, holding the door open wider for him.

The redhead's gaze instantly went to the door, and her hazel eyes were glued to the tall, handsome blond man as he entered.

Edge's green eyes were fixed to the sight of the beautiful high-flying diva, and his heart began to beat faster.  This woman had always had such an intense effect on him.  Many a time, he had cursed himself for being too much of a coward to tell her how he truly felt about her.  Lord knew, he'd had plenty of chances way before she and Matt Hardy had ever become an item - although he doubted she would have accepted his admissions of feelings for him, as he had been a bit of a jerk back then...

"Hello, Lita..." the Canadian said, his gaze locked on hers.  God, how he wanted to go out with her - wanted to be with her.  She was the most beautiful, amazing woman he'd ever met.

"Hi, Edge..."  The redhead rose to her feet as she continued to eye him.  She actually seemed a little shocked to see him - or maybe it was because he'd come here looking for her.

Molly smiled softly as she watched the two from where she stood near the door.  She was fairly certain that neither one of them even realized she was still in the room.  Very quietly, she slipped out the door, her smile increasing as she walked down the hall.  She couldn't help but wonder how it was that Edge and Lita weren't already a couple when they were so obviously into each other...

The redhead licked her lips as she cocked her head to one side.  "What can I do for you?" she asked tentatively.  She held her breath, wishing more than anything that he was going to ask her what she was hoping he would.

"Err...Well..."  The tall blond man ran a hand through his long hair as he continued to caress her face with his emerald gaze.  "Would you come for a walk with me?  I need to talk to you about something..."

Lita arched an eyebrow in surprise, and a slow smile spread across her pretty face.  Maybe he was going to ask her what she was hoping and wishing for...

"Sure..." she replied.  "I'd like that."

Now it was Edge's turn to arch an eyebrow.  He watched, his gaze unwavering as she came toward him.  His eyes scanned over her luscious feminine curves as she neared, lingering on the red thong that peeked out over the top of her black cargo pants.

Lita followed the tall blond man out of her locker room, and once out in the hall, they walked a little ways in silence before Edge spoke.

"Okay...here's the thing," he said, a small smile on his face as he faced her.

She held her breath as she eyed him with anticipation.

"I want to do something nice for Stephanie for Valentine's Day..."

The redhead stared at him in shock, her lips parting slightly as she felt her heart sinking.  This was what Edge wanted to talk to her about?  He wanted to do something for another woman for Valentine's Day?  Lita bit her lip as she felt herself beginning to get a little choked up.  She couldn't believe the blond man was going to surprise Stephanie for the sentimental holiday...  She suddenly came to a halt, not wanting to walk any longer.

The Canadian watched as the redhead walked over to an equipment case pushed up against the wall nearby and climbed up to sit there.  He came over and settled himself beside her as he gazed at her lovely profile.

"Let me explain exactly what I want to do..." he said, a small smile coming to his face again.

The diva bit her lip and nodded without enthusiasm, her eyes downcast.  She dreaded hearing whatever romantic plans Edge wanted to make for Stephanie.

"I want your help with this, Lita," he said, lowering his voice a bit.  "I want to set Stephanie up with Jericho for Valentine's Day..."

The redhead turned her head slowly toward him, her mouth falling open in surprise.  The feeling of relief that swept through her was so great, she felt as though she might actually start laughing.

"Steph and Chris?" she asked, finally rediscovering her voice.  "Hmm...now there's an idea..."

Edge chuckled as he ran his hand through his hair.  "Yeah, well, I know they have feelings for each other."

"Oh, definitely," the redhead agreed, nodding.

"I don't get why they haven't gotten together already, you know?" the blond man said as he gazed directly into her hazel eyes.

"Yeah, I know what you mean, Edge," Lita said as she held his steady gaze.  "It's like...those two seem meant for one another, and...they should be together."

"Yeah...That's exactly what I was thinking."  The blond man couldn't take his eyes off of hers, and he could feel the heat building between them.  God, how he wanted to kiss her... He'd fantasized about doing so time and time again, and he knew that really doing it would be so much better than he'd ever imagined...

Edge tilted his head to one side, his lips slightly parted, eyes fixed to the redhead's as he slowly began moving his face toward hers.  His breath caught as he thought Lita was moving her face closer to his, and then...

"Well!  Look who's here!" a voice cried, interrupting them.  Edge pulled back abruptly, simultaneously startled and disappointed at the intrusion.  He looked up at Kurt Angle, who beamed at the two of them, his arm around Torrie Wilson's shoulders.

"Hi, Kurt...Hi, Torrie."  He raked a hand through his long blond hair nervously, glancing quickly over at Lita, whom he could swear was blushing a little.

The blonde woman grinned as she eyed the redhead, her dimples showing.  "What are you two up to?"

Edge and Lita exchanged glances before looking back at the couple.  Neither of them wanted to indulge Kurt or Torrie, as they both knew that neither of their friends was capable of keeping a secret.  These two were notorious for having two of the biggest mouths in the company, so it was really no surprise that they'd ended up dating.

"Oh, nothing," Edge said.  "We were just talking about how much we hate Valentine's Day...Right, Lita?"  He shifted his gaze to the auburn-haired diva and winked, and he knew the other two couldn't see the gesture because his profile was all that was visible to them.

"Yeah..." Lita replied, holding back the laugh she could feel deep inside.
