Jon and Harley were sitting in the living room watching Youtube videos on Jon's phone and Jon showed Harley a particular video of Donnie and Danny humping him from behind, Harley didn't look too happy but at the same time he was laughing a little.

Harley: OMG what did those guys do to you on the cruise babe? wow, when the cat's away the mice will play.

Jon: babe, Donnie and Danny humped me, they want me so bad

Harley to Jon: awww honey I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you from those two pervs

Harley gently throws him on the bed and ravages him...asks Jon how they "sexually assaulted" him

Jon: Donnie started it

Harley: Of course he did (laughs)

Jon: that obvious huh? (laughs)

Harley: well I can't say that I blame them cause damn you're hot

Jon: well they can't have me (shows off his ring) someone already does and I'm not ever letting go

Harley kisses him: hell no they can't have you, you're mine baby

Jon: fuck yeah I am...no doubt about that whatsoever

Harley: they can do all they want, but I get to make love to you

Jon: don't make it too easy for them babe LOL (strips) right here right now fuck it all

Clothes everywhere starts off on the couch ends up in the bedroom

Jon: next cruise you're coming with me

Harley: fuck yeah I'm going I need to keep an eye on those guys

Jon to Harley: thank you

Harley: thank you? (giggles) for what?

Jon: not just for times like these but for everything (gets a little romantic as the moment whines down a touch) you're everything I could ask for and lots more

Harley: you are the love of my life babe and I can't imagine my life without you

Jon: I would die if I had to live life without you

Jon thanking Harley for everything he means to him and for what he's done and keeps on doing

Harley to Jon: you amaze me everyday, and I fall more in love with you.

Jon: I amaze you? why?

Harley: yeah my love, you do, I can't even begin to describe how much you mean to me

Jon: give it a shot (smiles seductively)

Harley: you are smart, incredibly funny, you have a huge heart, you're incredibly sexy and extremely talented

Jon's phone rings he puts it in the cabinet at the night table next to the bed

Jon: that's what attracted me to you the sexiness so I guess we're even but hey now that you mentioned the word talented why did you leave your acting career behind to become a trainer? (looks at him up and down) not that I mind one bit which I most certainly don't

Harley: I loved acting, don't get me wrong, I just started realizing that I needed a career that was more fulfilling and training is very fulfilling to me

Jon looks at him again the same way

Jon: no shit but that's how we met and you didn't have to change careers cause of me

Harley: you are so supportive baby, I love that you encourage me to do what I love

Jon: always...I love how you support the choices I make even if they're a little crazy at times

Harley: you're so crazy but I love you and I will always support you

Jon: babe you married a nut uh-oh LOL

Harley: I know I married a nut, but that's what I love about you baby

Jon kisses him for the compliment. Then the kiss deepens a little: hmmm round two

Harley: you're insatiable

Jon: nah you just gotta find a loophole (Jon taunting him gets up to go to the bathroom) babe road trip tomorrow? Do we take your truck or do we take enzo?

Harley: you're a dork

Jon: you're hot, sue me

Harley: yeah where do you want to go? LMAO

Jon: anywhere as long as I'm with you

Harley: let's take my truck

Jon: great then you drive I play footsies what if we drive to Boston to visit mom (Jon pokes his head out the bathroom) let's see how far you drive without pulling over to screw me

Harley: is that a challenge babe?

Jon: yeah it is...you up for it? and of course we can visit mom for a while then it's just us...deal?

Harley: deal...I really missed you baby, I'm so glad you're home.

Jon climbs back into bed to cuddle: I couldn't wait to get back and be with you...Don't get me wrong the cruise was fun but by the third night I was so done

Harley: I wish I had gone with you, I'm so sorry baby (he put his head down)

Jon: don't blame yourself babe, you did what you had to do...there's always next year you had to work and catch up with what you missed when you were in Cali

Harley: I know but I really wanted to be there with you and at the same time I wanted to see Hunter too

Jon: you can't miss milestones in Hunter's life I'm glad you were able to enjoy those days with him I'm sure he loved it...I miss that little tyke

Harley: what did I do to deserve you?

Jon: I guess we must have done something right to end up where we're at. I wouldn't change a thing...hey let's go to Cali tomorrow instead

Harley: Cali? Really? OMG Hunter is gonna get so excited to see you

Jon: are you up for the long drive? I'll drive half of the way you drive the other half...I love it when your eyes just pop every time you get excited

Harley laughed: Yeah let's do it babe, we'll take turns driving. My mom really misses you too

Jon: then that's what we're gonna do so get up chunky butt up we gotta pack cause I'm not going just for a day (gets up starts packing...looks at his phone which he takes out of the cabinet) oops mom had called, sorry mom

Harley smacks Jon's ass: chunky butt? Look who's talking (giggles)

Harley: call her back love...she's probably worried

Jon: whaoo Lol...I'm almost finished packing I'll call in a minute

Harley: okay, I'm gonna take a shower (he shouts from bathroom) I love you

Jon finishes packing and calls mom back

from the living room Jon goes: not more than me (talks for a while with his mom...comes back to the room and hops in the shower too)

Jon: she sends her love and wishes us a nice trip tomorrow

Harley turns around and sees his hubby getting in the shower

Jon: who could resist

Harley: awe I love your mom she's the best.

They spend hours in the shower fooling around

Harley: I think we should get out of here love, and go have dinner at Olive Garden

Jon: okay come on let's go. We paid everything we needed to pay right?

They go out to dinner

Harley: yeah bills all paid including the rent

Jon: beautiful less things to worry about

Right after dinner the go back to the apartment

Jon: movie or bed?

Harley: hmm, a movie

Jon picks one of their favorites: how about this one? Brave Heart

Harley: Sounds good

They fall asleep mid movie and Jon wakes up to the alarm on his phone which was on low volume during the movie

Jon looks at it and turns off the alarm: babe we gotta go wake up sunshine (Jon runs his fingers through Harley's hair) we have a long drive babe time to wakey wakey

Harley: I know, I'm hungry though, can we go eat first?

Jon: Lol yeah IHOP?

Harley: yeah, definitely, I'll get dressed quick

Jon looks at himself: ah crap I gotta get dressed too (heads to the bedroom)

Jon to Harley: take your time babe no rush whatsoever we just gotta go around this time cause we have a long trip ahead and there's always traffic

Harley goes to the bathroom first. Then gets dressed while Jon gets ready he puts the bags in the truck

Jon: babe we're set you ready?

Harley nods and kisses Jon's cheek and they head out the door, Harley locking up

Jon drives the first half: mom doesn't know we're coming right?

Harley: no love she doesn't, she's gonna be happy to see us. Especially you

Jon: I love that woman

Harley: awe she loves you too babe. And who wouldn't? Look at you, you're so cute

Jon: Don't make me pull over and make out

Harley: I want to fuck you so bad right now

Pulls over, they have a quickie and get back on the road

Harley: that was so good, thanks babe

Jon: no babe thank you...I'll call mom when we're five minutes away

Harley: you're welcome my love...how about we don't call and surprise her

Jon: I'd agree to that but what if we show up and she's not there

Harley: that's true

Jon bangs on the steering wheel because he remembers: fuck!

Harley: what?! bae what's wrong love?

Jon: I totally forgot to buy Hunter's present, damn it...there's a toys r us near mom's so we'll go there before going to the house I don't wanna go empty handed

Harley: awww you're so cute, god I love you so much babe (caresses Jon's face and holds his hand)

They go into the store and Jon picks out every toy that's suitable for a kid Hunter's age and fills up the cart almost

Jon: okay now I'm ready...we can go now

Harley looks at the cart and cracks up laughing: babe, you don't have to buy him the store

Jon: good thing we brought the truck. I don't get the chance to see him everyday or as often as I'd love to which I hate because I love the kid so I buy him lots of toys till I'm able to see him again, your sister is so gonna kill me though that's for sure Lol

After they pay and before they exit the store

Jon: babe do I look okay...I feel like I'm too underdressed

Harley: baby you look fine my love, it's not like we're going to a party or anything we're just going to my mom's to see him that's all. Honey, I know you love him and I do too but...oh never mind, you're his uncle too. And you're right my sister is gonna kill you Lol

Jon smiles and lights up: just checking I don't wanna be too under dressed

Harley smiles: you look fine, love. Babe you always look good (plants one on him then and there) how about me? how do I look?

Jon: HOT! as always (Jon puts the toys in the truck) okay let's go spoil that little stinker

Harley kisses Jon: awe baby thanks. Glad you still think that after eight years

Jon stops suddenly and turns to him looks him in the eye: why would you think I'd ever stop?

Harley shrugged: I don't know, just being self conscious I guess

Jon: babe what we have going is strong and solid I'm not giving it up we've come a long way and I'll always love you no matter what...self conscious about what? please tell me so I can fix what I have to. Do you want me to stop doing what I do? because I can, all you have to do is say the word and I'm out I can get an office job

Harley: no love, don't do that please, yes I may feel a little jealous sometimes with you out on tour or this cruise, I'm a jealous man, I don't want to lose you to someone else so I sometimes I feel a little self conscious. you're gorgeous, you can have any man you want.

Jon: I don't want anyone else, I only want you babe.

Harley looks down: I don't want you to quit the band love, you love it and I wouldn't want you to give it up just because of me

Jon: And I like it when you get jealous a bit it just shows me you care and that's worth living for...there's no one out there better then YOU are and I'm not planning on ever looking

Harley: and my height never once bothered you? I am a lot shorter than you.

Jon: what?! bae why would you think it would? no, never, that doesn't matter to me you're the one I fell in love with and that's all that matters...babe if I have to quit I'll quit because you mean more than anything on this fucking planet and I only want to keep making you happy

they arrive to California to Leyla's house

Jon: we have arrived its party time...baby style Lol (before they head up the steps. Jon) let's talk more about it at the hotel but there's one thing I want you to always remember...there's only one person for me on this earth and that person is YOU...I made a vow and I'm keeping it

Harley: No love, I don't want you to quit, you love doing what you do, it's been your career since you were a kid, and I'm so proud of the man you've become since we've been together, you're a different man, you've come a long way

Jon: and I owe all of it to you it's because of you I'm able to do things again, I'll explain that to him beforehand so that way it's not like a bombshell, it's not the first time I'd quit I've done it before...for a different reason which you already know but I've done it and this time the reason would be a better and stronger reason to want to quit.

Harley: I know you have but I'm really okay with you continuing with this, besides the guys would miss you, especially Jordan

Harley pulled him closer and kissed him: I love you more than anything in this world and I'm proud to call you my husband I'll support you in whatever you want to do, I'm just being silly I know, guess it's because I have missed you so much

(they get to the door and ring the doorbell

Jon: all you have to do is say it and it's done I mean it there's no thinking things twice...I'll do whatever it takes to make and keep you happy but all I want to do is keep you

Harley: baby, you will always have me, I can't imagine my life without you, yes I was scared that I might lose you to someone else but I trust you, I know you would never cheat on me

Jon: I'd rather jump in front of an oncoming truck than to cheat on you, you don't deserve it...you mean too much

Harley: BAE OMG I would die without you please don't talk like that

Jon: comes to show you how serious I am about us about what we have about what we've created together

Harley opens the door and goes in...Jon follows

Jon: mom! I'm home!, where is everybody?

Harley: I know you'd do anything for me, us, you proven to me that you'd die before you would ever cheat on me, just know I would never do it to you either, there's no other man in this world that I would ever want.

Jon lovingly says: oh I know I've got my eye on you

Harley smiles: you are such a brat! he (smacks him in the butt)

Jon: heeey! you really like that back area huh?...you're gonna deflate it LOL and I hardly have any

Harley nods and winks: fuck yeah I love your ass, it's so cute, I love it when I'm inside you (then he laughs)

Jon: nobody...babe! what if mom hears you?...we've come home to an empty home, how's that on for size?

Harley: I have a key, I brought it just in case no one would be home (opens the door and make themselves at home)

Jon: always thinking ahead (makes himself at home) awwww comfy

Harley sits on the sofa and calls his mom on her cell

Jon: hey babe does mom need anything fixed? maybe I can do it before she gets home

Harley: I think she needs her light fixture on her ceiling fan in the family room it was broken when I was here last

Jon gets up: coming right up

Harley whistles: nice ass baby

Jon takes a look at it: holy crap...ha ha ha bae cut it out...this fan is about to fall it's installed wrong, kill the power please

Harley goes to shut off the power: my brother installed it.

Jon: oops! didn't mean to insult

Harley giggles: it's okay, he's not exactly a handyman.

Jon plays pranks on Harley by making him think he's getting shocks

Harley: stop it love, it's not funny. (he smacks him playfully)

Leyla comes home: I hear voices in my house

Harley: Hi mom it's just us, Jon is fixing your light fixture

Leyla: my baby! (she sees him...hugs and kisses him like a thousand times so happy to see him...Leyla) my other baby is here too?

Harley: of course, he wanted to come see you and Hunter

Runs to the family room

Leyla: Jon please get off of there baby you're gonna hurt yourself and give your mother a hug

Harley: told you babe, she would be happy to see you

Jon finishes and gets down: awwww (runs to her and carries her away) my mommy!

Harley: I think she loves you more than me (he laughs) hey give me back my mother she's mine (laughs and chases Jon to get Leyla back)

Jon messing with Harley: yup that's true LMAO...nope you're not getting her back she's mine, sorry (keeps running with Leyla laughing)

Harley: hey! she's my mommy lol. (he playfully grabs Jon)

Jon to Leyla: mom! look at Harley he's been grabbing me since we left the house early this morning LMAO (Jon runs to the truck and starts bringing all the gifts inside)

Leyla couldn't believe it when she saw all the gifts: Oh my, Jon baby did you buy out the store?

Jon: LMAO that's what the babe said...and yes almost, where's the little nugget?

Leyla: Julienne is bringing him in an hour.

Rushes to the living room pushes all the furniture out of the way and starts assembling what needs to be built

Harley: need help baby?

Jon: yea babe that'd be great you can put together the barn...please and thank you

Harley got started: no problem love, and you're very welcome, (kissing Jon softly on his lips)

Leyla comes back with snacks: holy...my word what is all of this?

Harley: Hunter is so spoiled, Jon loves that baby to death.

Leyla: no kidding. Jon baby you're gonna go bankrupt if you keep doing this

Jon looks at Leyla and smiles: I don't care

Harley can't wait to see his face when he sees Jon and all the toys he brought him

Jon finishes all that needs to be built

Jon to Leyla: okay mom about the family room fixture...don't let your son play with electricity please and your family room space I'll move into the empty space in the dining room and close the area off because what is currently your family room is now Hunts new playroom

Harley laughs: babe, what are you doing to mom's house? (he asks Jon in a loving way)

Jon to Harley: giving it a facelift (smiles from ear to ear)

Leyla and Harley both laugh

Jon to Harley: we could temporarily rent a house here while I fix it up, you can still work at Barry's here in Cali right?

Harley: yeah sure, I don't see why not

Jon: okay awesome let's do it then

Harley: I just hope the guys who were working there before aren't there anymore, it's the reason why I wanted to leave, I was getting harassed by them

(Leyla looks at Harley in only a way he gets why she's looking at him)

Jon stops what he's doing puts on the serious face and looks at Harley: what was that babe?

Harley looks down: yeah I never told you why I really left to work at Barry's in Chelsea (pauses for a bit) I was getting harassed by two guys there, they found out I was gay and started to call me names and writing FAG on my locker, so my boss had me transferred

(Jon sits down and listens very attentively)

Leyla to Jon: sugar that was a long time ago everything's fine now, he has you and besides I don't think they're even working there anymore

Harley to Jon: I'm sorry I never told you, I know that if I had, you would want to kick their asses. and I didn't want you to get hurt by them

Jon to Harley: why didn't you ever tell me this before?

Harley: cause it would only upset you love the way it's doing right now

Jon: fuck yea I want to kick their asses as a matter of fact (heads to the door) they had absolutely no right to do any of it (furious)

Harley: babe, no, please (runs after him) they're not worth it. I know you're pissed and you want to protect me but this is the reason I didn't want to tell you

Jon: what? you don't want me to protect you is that it?

Harley: No babe, that's not it. I know you'd do anything to protect me and I love when you do, I just don't want you to get hurt doing it.

Jon: so what am I supposed to do just leave it as something that just happened? I told you I would do anything for you because I love you and this is one of them (gets in the truck)

Harley followed him and gets in the truck with him: please babe, don't do this. they can hurt you. I don't want them to do anything to you

Leyla runs out: Jon that happened years ago you've both moved on...baby please stay Hunter's gonna be here in a little bit and besides he's happy now he's got you, we both have you to thank for that don't do anything you'll regret later come inside and relax

Harley: please babe mom's right, it was years ago and I don't want you to get hurt, I love you, please don't go.

Jon turns off the truck and gets out

Jon to Harley: I swear they harass you again they're gonna wish they were thirty feet underground

Harley kisses him: okay, deal, I promise not to keep anything from you again. Baby I love you

Jon to Harley: I'm not pissed off at you I'm pissed off at those sons of bitches...I love you too baby and that's why I'm so pissed, they had absolutely no right whatsoever

Harley: I know baby, and I know you'd do anything to protect me, at any cost even if it meant you risking you getting hurt

Jon: don't worry about me I'm not gonna get hurt they're the ones who need to worry cause I'm gonna fuck them up

Hunter and Julienne arrive

Jon to Harley: time for me to put on a performance of a lifetime (runs to Hunter) hey! there's my guy (pick him up and fills him with kisses)

Harley: our little man is here, they're not worth it though, please let's enjoy Hunter

Jon: we'll talk about that later (shows Hunter all the toys...Hunter's jaw drops. Harley and Jon giggle at Hunter's reaction to all his new toys)

(Leyla goes to the kitchen to prepare some food...Harley follows)

Harley: fair enough

Harley to himself: well that was scary as shit

Harley to Leyla: I swear I've never seen him so pissed...I've seen him mad about things but like this never

Hunter sitting on Jon's lap plays with his new toys and screeches with excitement

Juli walks into the kitchen: what's wrong with Jon he's quieter than usual? (hugs Harley from the back)

Harley: I told him something that really upset him, I told him about the incident at Barry's here in Cali with those guys harassing me

Juli: dude, why did you tell him that? I thought you said you were never gonna tell him?

Leyla to Juli: he didn't mean to it just came out

Harley: cause he wants to rent a house here to work on mom's house and I could work at the gym here, so I told him because I hate keeping secrets from him

Juli to Harley: you guys are moving again?

Harley: only for a little while Jon want's to do a facelift on mom's house

Juli to Leyla: your remodeling the house?

Harley: don't get too excited it's only gonna be for just for awhile

Juli to Harley: even if it's for a while it's still a yes

Harley: Just until he's done with the house

Juli to Harley: that's still moving you dork

Harley: I guess, then yeah we are

Jon walks in: please don't call him that Jules

Harley playfully smacks her: yeah don't call me a dork (sticks his tongue out at his sister) listen to my husband

Jon to Leyla: don't worry about making me anything I'm not hungry we ate a big breakfast...you guys can go ahead and eat though

Juli does the same thing to Harley

Juli to Jon: sorry

Harley: are you sure baby? What's wrong?

Jon to Harley: yea positive...nothing's wrong I'm just not hungry but thanks though

Harley wasn't buying it: you're upset still, aren't you?

Jon very straight forward: yup! And that's not going away anytime soon

Harley got up from the stool he was sitting on to hug Jon: you want to talk about it some more?

Jon corresponds: later I'm gonna get back with Hunts I just wanted to see what you were up to

Harley: okay, I love you, don't ever forget that babe

Jon: I love you too and I never do, excuse me (heads back to the living room to keep playing with Hunter)

Harley kisses him: I'll go with you to play with little man

They get to the hotel after midnight and check in on the spot without having any prior reservation

Harley: babe, talk to me, you've been real quiet all evening

Jon: what could there possibly be left to say? that I hate it when you get labeled? well yea I hate it that I hate it that you got harassed and I didn't even know about it to step in and kick ass to protect you? yea that sucks even more

Harley: okay love, I understand but if it was you who was getting harassed and I wanted to beat the shit out of them, would you let me?

Jon: it sucks big time that people don't see the extraordinary man you are...no I wouldn't cause I wouldn't want you to get hurt for defending me

Harley: well then see? That's how I felt earlier, I don't want you to get hurt either baby. Oh believe me, I would kick some major ass for you

Jon: yea I know you would I don't doubt that nor do I doubt you can kick some major ass either but babe I'm the one who's suppose to protect you, not saying I don't like feeling protected by you cause I do and I love you for it but I vowed to do so...through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, through good times and bad

Harley: babe I took those vows too and I can protect you as much as you can protect me. I will always stand by you no matter what.

Jon a bit more relaxed about what he had found out in Cali and pleased with his job well done on the house: bae I'm going for a ride

Harley: where are you going love?

Jon: just a drive don't exactly know for sure but I'll be back soon

Harley was still a little worried about him: Okay babe, be careful love you (he kissed him)

Jon: I will I promise (corresponds to the kiss) I'll call you know I always will

Jon grabs his keys and heads for the drive...Harley suspects but can't be a hundred percent certain if he's going back to Cali to confront. Harley had a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach and grabbed his keys to follow him

Jon arrives at Barry's: where the fuck is the mother fucker at? (to the person behind the counter) you better get these people out of here cause it's about to get bloody in a few minutes

Harley got to the gym, and see Jon's car: oh shit. (He gets out of the truck)

Jon already at it with one of the guys

Harley: fuck, Jon! Babe stop please?

Jon hears Harley and turns around: what are you doing here? (out of breath...to the guy that's laying on the floor) fuck with my husband again and I promise you I'll put you in the fucking grave with my bare hands (walks out to cool off)

As soon as they exit the building the cops arrive

Jon: ah shit!

Harley: fuck, babe what were you thinking? baby, look I will talk to the cops I don't want you to go to jail

Jon turns to Harley: did you really think I was gonna just drop it without doing anything? If you did I guess you don't know me as well as you thought you did...no don't I did this I need to get myself out of it I'll fix it

Harley: I wish you had just left it alone love, I know you want to protect me but babe this isn't the way you're not a violent person

Jon: people change (Jon clears everything with the attending officer and tells him exactly how things happen cause he's the one who started)

Harley: what is that supposed to mean? (Jon comes back to Harley

Jon: that means I'm sick of people walking all over us just cause we're a couple (gets in the truck but is too pissed off to drive so he just sits there) it means I'll do anything and everything to protect you no matter what

Harley gets in the truck with him: babe, look at me (he gets Jon to face him) you don't think I'm tired of that shit? I am I hate it too but honey what if you had gotten arrested today?

Jon: well I didn't so we're good… they said that since it's a first time offense I got off with a scolding, babe just...head home I'll stay at mom's I'll be home tomorrow

Harley: you're the most amazing man, you risked almost getting arrested. I'm staying with you at mom's

Harley broke down crying

Jon consoles him: what was I supposed to do? you know I'd do anything...bae please stop we're fine everything's fine between us it's the people around us that suck

Harley stops crying: I know you'd do anything for me and I appreciate it, more than you'll ever know

Jon: I can't help it and at this point I don't care that it happened years ago it's something that still happened and you're with me now and this is me taking care of the one I love and if no one likes it then fuck them

Jon gets out to tie the other car to the back of the truck and hauls it to Boston

Harley: what if the situation was reversed? And I was beating that guy, what would you have done?

Jon: exactly the same thing you just did but to be honest I'd fucking kill him myself and there's no way in hell I'd let you find out about it (holds Harley's hand while he drives) better?

Harley nods: yeah babe I'm fine, I have never seen you like this babe, it scared me just to think that, that bastard could hurt you...babe I wouldn't be able to bare with myself for letting that happen to you

hours later they arrive at Jon mom's house

Jon: Baby I'm sorry I scared you those weren't my intentions but when it comes to you I go crazy cause all I want is for you to be safe and happy and if that shit keeps happening it's not gonna be the last you'll see it

Harley smiles, proud of him...they ring the doorbell

Jon to Harley: I think mom's having a party we came at a great time apparently

Harley: party time

Since no one opens Jon looks for the spare key under the mat: ah there it is (opens) welcome home babe...mom! I'm home!

Marlene: Jon, baby, and Harley, what are you two doing here? not that I'm complaining I love it when you come visit

Jon: we were just in the neighborhood and decided to stop by

Harley: really babe? (he laughs)

Jon to Harley: bae don't blow our cover (laughs)

Harley: oops sorry babe. (he winks at Jon)

Marlene: What are you two up to?

Harley: just wanted to come see you mommy, we missed you

Marlene: aww missed you too sugar, now come eat you must be hungry

Harley: we could eat (he laughs)

Jon: no actually let's go out to eat

Harley: really? oh okay love.

Jon: yea I was thinking Alma's place

Harley: oh yeah, let's go, do you think she'll be there love?

Jon: hope so, haven't seen her in forever

Marlene: me too, we have a lot of catching up to do

Harley and Jon look at each other but don't say a word

Jon to Harley: bae I'll leave the truck here and we can take enzo

Harley: have you not seen her in a while?

Harley to Jon: okay babe, that sounds fine to me

Marlene: Alma? not in forever we're both so busy with our things we just don't have the time too

Harley: then you do have A LOT of catching up mom

Marlene: Oh yeah we sure do it's not like we see each other as much like we did when these kids were younger that was fun, now she has the restaurant and I have the farm to tend too

Harley: awww what a shame, well let's go and hope she is there tonight

Not that long of a ride...they get out and reserve a table. Alma is there and hugs all three of them, she is so happy to see them there...Jon makes sure someone takes Alma's shift while they dine and catch up...Jon gets interrupted by a phone call...his expression changes quickly

Harley: babe? are you okay?

Jon snaps out of it: huh? yea I'm fine babe sorry about that...where were we?

Harley was not convinced at all: what's wrong love? the way your expression changed so fast when you were on the phone

Jon: it was nothing really babe I'm fine (looks at his food and just moves it around the plate)

Harley: then why aren't you eating, come on babe, I know you too well

Marlene to Jon: something's up cough it up baby come on what is it

Alma: honey, what is it?

Jon gets up: will you all please excuse me for a couple of minutes...sorry Alma I'll be right back (steps out of the restaurant and sits on Debbie's bench)

Harley: I'll go see if he's okay

Marlene: thanks baby, yeah something is up

Alma: please do

Jon mumbling to himself: this can't be happening not now

Harley finds him outside and walks over to where he is

Harley: baby, what's wrong, talk to me, please?

Jon jumps a little when he hears Harley: bae you scared me...nothing I'll be in, in a minute

Harley sat next to him: I'm sorry I scared you, I'm not going inside till you tell me what is wrong

Jon: I need a smoke (he stopped smoking but doesn't quite grasp it yet...goes to the car to look for the cigarette box) damn it where the fuck is it?

Harley: babe, you stopped smoking years ago, now would you please tell me what the phone call was about, mom and Alma are worried about you too

Jon gets out the car: huh I did? fuck yeah I forgot

Harley: BABY! what is it? you're scaring me

Jon closes the door and leans against it: someone found me and I don't know how that's all (checks his surroundings)

Harley: babe who are you looking for? who found you babe? how did they get your number?

Jon: it's nothing probably just my imagination I don't mean to scare you bae I'm sorry no one important just someone I didn't want to find me

Harley: if it was someone you didn't want to find you, you'd better tell me who the fuck found you, you look really scared

The phone rings again...Jon looks and denies to answer

Harley: who is it Jon?!

Jon turns around facing the other way and puts his hands on the roof of the car: it's not important I'm sorry I ruined dinner I wasn't expecting the call that's all really there's nothing going on I'm not scared (he visibly is though)

Harley grabs him and turns him around to look at him: baby, would you please tell me what's wrong?, you are scared, who is calling you, tell me, look I'm sorry I didn't tell you about that guy harassing me but this is really scaring you and it kills me to see you like this...you were doing just fine minutes ago and it's obvious that call spooked you, babe please talk to me

Jon: Babe I'm fine, really and that has nothing to do with what you told me before and you know what doesn't matter let's go back in I don't want to keep ruining the moment (starts heading back to the restaurant)

Harley gets him by the arm: no, tell me NOW Jon!

Jon actually raises his voice for the first time at Harley: IT'S NOTHING OKAY LET'S JUST MAKE THE BEST OUT OF THE REST OF THE DAY (walks away and back into the restaurant...Harley stays outside and started crying out of frustration with his husband, and he has never raised his voice at him like that before)

Marlene to Jon: hey where's Harley I thought he was with you?

Harley didn't want to go back inside till he calmed down

Alma to Marlene: I see him outside I'll be back (goes and talks to Harley in private)

Marlene to Jon: you're not hiding anything from me...what's going on? I know something's wrong I can see it I'm not Harley you can't walk away from me I expect an answer

Alma goes to talk to Harley and sees him crying

Jon to Marlene: he found me and I have no idea how my number is private for that reason

Marlene: baby, who found you?

Jon lowers his head: Alex

Marlene to Jon: shit, you're done with that bastard, don't talk to him

Jon: mom there's no way in hell Harley can find out about it he can't...I'm so done with him it's been over for years I'm with Harley cause I love him. How the hell do I not talk to him if he keeps calling? (phone rings again) here we go again

Marlene: you HAVE to tell your husband, a marriage is based on trust and honesty. baby, he deserves to know, he knows you're upset about something

Jon: do you have any idea what would happen if he finds out? I know we have no secrets that's what we said we'd never do is keep secrets but I can't tell him this

Harley: you can't tell me what? I want to know that's my right! (Harley got his hand) please babe you can tell me anything

Marlene: okay enough is enough this has to end right here

Harley looks at both Marlene and Jon: what's going on?

Marlene to Jon: tell him you'll both figure this thing out but you have to tell him

Marlene to Harley: please sit

Harley sits next to his husband and listens intently...Alma closes up early and stays to give a helping hand if needed...Jon tells Harley everything...same situation as Harley but with his ex

Harley was trying his very best not to get upset: are you fucking kidding me babe? FUCK! how the hell did he find you?

Jon sees Harley's reaction…

Jonto Marlene: see, this is why I didn't want to tell him anything

Jon to Harley: that's what I don't get I changed my number and put it private for that purpose for him NOT to find me but he did

Harley to Jon: babe, I am NOT mad at you whatsoever, but I am so fucking pissed off at that bastard who hurt you in so many ways

The phone rings and he slams it. Harley gets the phone and tracks down the number

Jon: babe no don't, give it back babe please (tries to get the phone back from Harley) I don't want you to get involved it's not your fight...I don't want him to come after you, please

Marlene: Jonathan calm down

Harley: mom's right. you're gonna get an anxiety attack

Jon sees what Harley's doing: what are you doing? give me the phone

Harley sees where Alex is calling from and leaves to find him

Jon to Harley: oh no you don't get back here (chases him)

Marlene calls after them

Jon to Harley: I almost got in trouble I don't want you to do the same thing

Harley to Jon: but that guy didn't hurt me as bad as Alex hurt you babe, you told me what he did to you

Jon: not as bad? really? harassing you isn't as bad? I know I told you what he did and I shouldn't have that was the mistake I made

Harley: NO, and what did Alex do to you, remind me of that please?

Harley finds Jon gets distracted and gets in the car to chase the guy down

Jon: GOD DAMMIT HARLEY!

Marlene catches up to Jon: where is he going? you have to go get him before he gets hurt...go!

Jon: that bastard better not hurt him

Marlene: go stop it but for the love of God be careful

Harley is driving fast, pissed off, emotional and ready to kill. Jon calls a cab and tells him exactly where to go...calls Harley

Jon: bae pick up, please pick up

Harley answers it: DON'T EVEN TRY to talk me out of it

Jon: bae this is insane first me now you come on don't do it mom's worried sick as it is

Harley: so I'm supposed to sit back and not do anything? HELL NO

Jon: bae you gotta calm down I get it now I do what I did was wrong I shouldn't have done it I get it... well...yes!

Harley: babe HE HURT YOU SO BAD I'm not gonna just let him get away with it, I'm sorry

Jon: Harley you're not listening to me babe I know that but just like you told me not too long ago...he's not worth it he's garbage he means nothing never had, never will

Harley: YOU ARE WORTH IT TO ME babe

Jon: and your worth it to me that's why I'm begging you not to do this it's not gonna solve anything I know that now that's why it's not worth our time or efforts I'll change my number again I'll create a false death certificate I'll do anything just don't do it I'll fall off the grid we'll go somewhere far where no one knows who we are

Harley was starting to come to his senses for a minute and knew Jon was right

Jon still talking to Harley on the phone: they don't even have to speak our language for all I care we'll move anywhere you want

Harley turned around and pulled over for a minute

Jon: I'll pay any amount of money it takes just to keep you happy

Harley: where are you baby?

Jon sees him pull over and makes the cab driver do it too

gets out: I'm right here baby

Harley gets out too and runs to him, crying

Jon: come here love (Jon grabs him and holds him close, he kisses his cheek, then his lips and neck) bae I know what I did was fucked up I shouldn't have reacted the way I did I should have listened, I'm sorry (grabs him gently by the chin and makes Harley look at him) you mean the world to me...you mean more to me than anything on this fucking planet don't stain your hands for someone who's completely not worth the time I'll create a fake identity if I have to

Harley: No baby, don't do that, yes change your number and we'll move somewhere else. (caresses his face with both hands very lovingly)

Jon: you name it and we're there I could care less where it is as long as it's with you

Harley does the same and pulls him closer: God I fucking love you so goddamn much

Jon: and I love YOU God dammit

Harley and Jon get in the car and go back to Alma's

Jon: lets go pick mom up and bring her back home we'll stay a bit and after that we'll decide where to go

Jon calls Marlene

Harley kisses him: okay love, that sounds good

Jon: we okay?

Harley: of course, we are babe, always.

Jon: good cause I don't like arguing with you.

Jon drives back to Alma's to pick Marlene up

Jon to Harley: stay here I won't be long I'm just gonna go get mom, just relax (gets out and goes into the restaurant) mom we're back

Harley nod: I'll be here babe

Marlene: where is he? are you two okay?

Jon to Marlene: yeah we're fine he's waiting in the car I caught up to him before he got there so nothing happened thank god

Marlene was relieved, so was Alma:OMG I prayed you caught up to him

Jon to Alma: I apologize for all of this it was supposed to be a fun trip for all of us

Jon to Marlene: yea well it worked good move

Harley came into the restaurant and apologized

Harley to Marlene and Alma: mom I'm so sorry I went so crazy, when it comes to Jon, I just lose it...I can't help it

Marlene to Harley: there's nothing to be sorry about baby, that's what makes this relationship work he'd do the same thing for you if it was reversed which I hope to God never happens

Jon looks at Harley

Alma: I'm so glad your okay and things didn't get out of hand

Marlene to Jon and Harley: what?

Harley to Jon: you want to take this one babe?

Marlene: it reversed didn't it? oh God...Jon! baby what did you do?

Jon: yea it did and it bit me in the ass in the long run

Marlene: what happened?

Jon: I went to Cali to see Hunter and found something out and ended up beating someone up couple of days ago

Alma: oh geez Jon...are you hurt?

Back at Marlene's house already...Alma stays with them to continue catching up

Marlene: so do you want to tell me why you went to Cali to beat someone up?

Jon: almost for the same reason the babe was gonna do it for me

Marlene shook her head: Please tell me you didn't get arrested baby?

Harley steps in: no luckily he just got off with a warning

Harley to Marlene: he was protecting me

Alma to Jon: how bad did you leave him?

Harley to Alma: a bit messy, he didn't kill him but he beat him bad and threatened that if he fucks with me again he'd pretty much kill him

Alma hi fives Jon: that a boy...see that's what being a couple is all about...protecting each other and most certainly loving and respecting each other too

Marlene to Alma: please don't encourage him he could've gotten seriously hurt

Alma looks at Marlene: what? I'm proud of him he did the right thing he defended the man he loves and thankfully he doesn't have a scratch on him

Harley: yeah well, I am all for that but I don't condone my husband being violent

Marlene to Harley: thank you neither do I

Alma: I don't either but he did what he felt in his heart was right...you boys are the most inspiring couple I've ever met...your love is strong and pure and that's just beautiful

Marlene: I don't condone that either but I can't say I'm not proud because I'd be lying...you did what you felt was right

Jon looks at Harley in a particular way: I don't either

Harley: I realize that now love, and I understand why you beat the crap out of that guy

They get back home way past midnight and go straight to bed

Jon: the day from hell is finally over new life for us tomorrow

Harley: yes, a new life, anywhere babe, just as long as it's with you

Jon: Costa Rica?

Harley: how about Paris?

Jon: the beach, the resorts, the nightlife...U LA LA, no discussion there, Paris it is

Harley: and it is the romance capital of the world

Jon: I know that's the best part about it

boxer briefs only for bed from Jon

Harley: we'll find a beautiful home there, we will be away from your ex and he won't ever find you again

Jon: and they're inexpensive cause it's international so that should be good for us

Harley: did you turn off your phone babe, what if he calls again?

Jon: mmm bae don't say his name please makes me quiver...yeah I put it on vibrate

Harley nodded: sorry, I will NEVER mention his name ever again love

Jon: that's alright love now let's try and get some sleep

Two hrs later Jon is in the living room watching tv without having slept a wink. Harley gets up to use the bathroom and hears the tv in the living room, he goes in there and sits next to

Harley to Jon: you okay babe?

Jon Jumps a bit: oh hey (turns off the tv) yeah I'm fine I just couldn't sleep, did I wake you?

Harley: no love, I had to use the bathroom and I heard the tv on, are you sure you're okay? you jumped when I came in here

Jon jumps again when the phone rings...this time he picks up…

Jon to Alex: what the fuck do you want? how did you find me? I thought I told you to stay away from me, I'm married I have a life, I'm happy I don't need you to interrupt my life with your bullshit now leave me the fuck alone

Harley saw him getting agitated

Alex on the other end: feisty I like it…you know, I've always loved that about you baby

Jon puts him on speakerphone...Harley was getting pissed off now

Alex: oh! now I get it he's there with you isn't he?...well I have no problem getting into a threesome, why not? it should be fun I bet he's an ugly duck huh babe? that's why I told you not to leave me didn't I tell you that? oh come on give it your best shot you use to be way feistier than this...I can take it

Because he knows Harley's listening in he starts making stuff up: hey, remember how much fun we had in your apartment the other night sex was great I'm dying to do you again

Jon to Alex: why the fuck did you have to come back?

Alex: ahh finally a voice

Harley was furious

Alex: so...wanna come for seconds? what time should I be there?

Jon to Alex: in your fucking dreams you sick bastard

Alex: no come back? oh come on I can't believe you lost your touch...there's the feistiness I love so much from my babe

Harley got Jon's phone and started in on him

Alex: what's lover boy...oh hey there lover boy how you doin'?

Harley: you need to leave my husband alone, do you fucking hear me? I'm gonna fuck you up if you ever come near him again

Alex to Harley: hey listen lover boy do me a favor...when you step out...uuuuu touchy touchy, I wouldn't talk to me like that if I were you lover boy

Jon heard that: don't you dare talk to him like that mother fucker

Alex to Jon: hey babe you trained this one well and he fights back ladies and gentlemen while the cat's away the mice will play meet me at the starbucks across the street from your apartment and that's not a request...come alone

Harley: I'll meet you there and beat the living shit out of you

Alex to Harley: I wasn't talking to you lover boy I want nothing to do with you it's Jon I want and it's Jon I'm gonna get

Plays a recording supposedly of Jordan's voice "crying for help"...Jon as soon as he hears that goes to where he told him to go as fast as possible...almost getting hit by passing cars

Harley follows him: babe no, he is doing that to lure you in...Jordan isn't with him...baby stop! Jon come back please don't fall for it

Jon gets there and finds Alex grabs him tight by the shirt: where is he mother fucker? give him back to me NOW! or I'll rip your fucking head off

Harley called the police and explained everything that was going on and they were there in a matter of minutes

Jon: where the fuck is my brother?!

They try to break it up but Jon won't let go

Jon to Alex: I'm gonna kill you if you hurt him

Harley: baby please, stop...JON!

Jon to Harley: he's got my brother and you want me to stop?

Harley: baby he doesn't have him, he only told you that because he knew how to get you here

officer Culton: he's right it was only a recording we searched everywhere the place is empty there's nobody here but you

Jon stops and breaks down

Alex: I told you I'd get you one way or the other

Harley hears that and attacks him...They both get arrested for assault

Marlene picks Harley and Jon up: really? you're gonna go off and get arrested for beating the shit out of someone? I taught you better than that

Jon to Marlene: it wasn't just anybody...it was Alex

Marlene: I thought you both promised everything was okay, well in that case you should've killed the son of a bitch

Jon: that's what I was trying to do

Harley follows him still completely pissed off about what happened

Harley: I am so sorry love, he played you so bad, I know you'd do anything for Jordan...he knew that too that's why he did it cause he knew you would do anything for your brother

Jon gets up and walks to the bedroom calls Jordan as calmly as possible. Harley takes a deep breath, and knows he has to leave him alone till he calms down. Marlene shows up a short time later...Jon still talking with Jordan on the phone...Harley in the living room waiting patiently

Marlene: is he okay?

Harley: NO
