Chapter 4

Karen's alarm was going off at 6:45 am. She got in the shower and got ready for her day , she helped her mom get her dad up. As she headed t the door for work she grabbed a breakfast bar and a glass of juice. She arrived at work , today she was at the lower elementary school teaching kindergarten.

It was definitely a Monday and the 20 kindergartens kept Karen busy all Morning. By lunch time she was ready for a break, she called her mom and checked in on her dad. He was having a bad day which were becoming more frequent as of late. When she hung up the phone she couldn't help but look at the picture of her and Jon she was of course smiling ear to ear.

"I can't believe that I actually got to talk to him." Karen said to her self. "He was such a great guy."

It was a non stop afternoon as soon as they got back from lunch it was story time, math centers , then it was time for their afternoon craft. They were talking about apples and how they grow. They were now painting with apples, Karen cut them in 1/2 and showed them how to pain their picture. She walked around the room helping them. Teaching gave her so much much , but this was not her first choice in a career she wanted to be a Nascar or WWE commentator. Her life just went in another direction, so here she was teaching 20 5 and 6 years olds how to paint with apples.

With Jon - They were in Ohio for Monday Night Raw, he had just arrived at the arena with Joe.

"So are you excited to see Renee?" Joe asked with a grin.

"Yeah."

"That's it yeah?"

"I am going to tell you something but you can't make fun of me because I will fucking kick your ass got it!" Jon stated.

"Got it! What's up?"

"I've been thinking about Karen." Jon said.

"That chick you met on Saturday?"

"Yeah."

"Why?" Joe asked with a confused look on his face.

"Why what?"

"Why are you thinking about her?" They were sitting in the locker room.

" I don't know. She was really pretty and she had amazing brown eyes." Jon told him friend.

"What? Dude you know her eye color?"

Jon sat there a moment before answering and with a chuckle he said "Yeah I guess I do."

"Man you are totally crushing on here."

"Nah, I am just interested in her life, I mean she gave up a dream to take care of a dad that was horrible to her. Who does that."

"So what are you going to do?"

"About what?" Jon asked.

"Are you going to call her?"

Jon couldn't help but smile "Yes I think I am going to call her."

"Call who?" Colby said as he came in to the locker room.

"Karen." Joe said in a high-pitched girly voice.

"That chick from Saturday?"

"Yes the woman from Saturday." Jon said.

"He's totally crushing on her." Joe said.

"Really? So you wanna hook up with her?" Colby said.

"It's not like that, she's different. She just ... I don't know."

"WOW Joe you aint kidding he does like her , he can't even finish that sentence."

Jon just flipped them both off "Your both assholes you know that." He stated before getting out his phone and heading out of the locker room.

"So he really like hers or what is this?" Colby said.

" I don't know but he knows her eye color. Did he fight with Renee?" Joe asked .

"Don't think so, but they aren't really official anyway are they? I never really know between those two." Colby laughed.

With Karen - After putting the kids on the bus and cleaning up the classroom she headed home. The instant she did that she regretted it. Her dad was in a mood that was for sure he was laying in bed and seemed very grumpy. She didn't get a break the second she got home she was taking care of her dad. Karen began dinner , she went in and changed her clothes and got her dad more juice. She was just frustrated as she was cooking dinner , her dad had already yelled her for not making what he wanted for dinner but with being a diabetic and all the medication he was on the needed to watch what he ate. Karen was startled when her phone went off she thought it was a text message because it was Ambrose's theme song. Her heart stopped when she looked at her phone and saw the picture pop up.

"No fucking way." Karen said.

"What?" Her brother asked as he came into the kitchen.

"Nothing." she told him as she took a deep breath her hand was shaking as she answered her phone.

"Hello?" Karen said in a soft voice.

"Hi Karen!" Jon said.

"Jon?"

"Yeah how was your day?"

"It was alright?" Karen said.

"Just alright well how can I make it great?"

Karen's heart began to flutter and her stomach was once again filled with butterflies.

"You just did."

"Good. What did you do today?" Jon asked.

"You don't honestly want to hear about my day." Karen stated.

"Yes I do. Believe me if I didn't want to know I wouldn't have asked."

"Shouldn't you be getting ready for the show tonight?" Karen asked as she began to fixed her dad's plate.

"I'm all ready. It's gonna be epic."

Karen laughed "Epic really? That's a lot to live up to Ambrose."

"What are you doing?"

"Fixing dinner." Karen said as she took her dad's plate into him and sat him up.

"Who that?" Her dad asked noticing she was on the phone.

"Jon!" Karen said.

"Jon?" Her dad repeated.

"Don't worry about it." She told him as she walked out of his room and... went out side so they could talk.

"Sorry about that Jon , had to get my dad his dinner." She told him.

"So brown eyes , tell me what did you do today?" He asked her again.

When Karen heard him say that she could feel her face flush as she giggled.

"Well?" Jon said.

Karen went on to explain all about the apple project she did this afternoon with her students.

"Aww cute." Jon told her.

"Really? The unstable lunatic fringe is listening to me talk about painting with apples. Can I ask you a question and you will be totally honest with him?" Karen asked him nervously.

"Complete honesty." Jon said.

"Why did you call me? Not that I don't love to hear your voice and talk to you but..." Karen was embarrassed at the words that just came out of her mouth. "I mean , that's not what I" Karen tried to clarify what she was saying.

Jon was walking around back stage and he couldn't help but laugh as he interrupted her.

"Karen please it's alright. I will be honest I haven't stopped thinking about you since I met you."

"What?"

"You are just so amazing and you are so real. I like you and I wanted to talk to you."

"I like you too." Karen said.

They talked for the next 30 minutes about everything Karen explained more about her day , Jon told her all about the house show last night and the drive to the arena today. Then Karen explained about her dad and how today wasn't such a great day.

"Sorry you have to deal with all that shit. It's not fair." Jon said.

"Yeah well if it's one thing I know it's that life isn't fair."

"You're right about that darling." He said. "Look I have to go but can I call you later after the show? Is that to late?" Jon asked her.

"No I usually don't sleep at night any way if I get to be before 2 am it's a miracle." Karen said with a laugh.

"Why?" Jon asked with concern.

"It's called insomnia."

"I will talk to you later then brown eyes."

"before you hang up can I ask you why you call me that?" Karen asked him with a chuckle.

"You have brown eyes right?" Jon said.

"Yes I do. Have a good show I'll be watching."

"Good. Karen?"

"Yes Jon"

"Just remember that you're not alone." He told her before the hung up the phone.

When Karen walked back into the house her brother was looking at her.

"Who were you talking to?" Brian asked her.

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you." Karen said with a laugh.

Karen got her father ready for bed and then started watching Monday night raw. When Dean Ambrose came out and did his thing with Seth Rollins, Karen's face flushed once again and that feeling of butterflies in her stomach was back.

"Oh man!" Karen said to her self. "I am totally crushing on him. But he has a girlfriend right? I wonder if he will really call me back tonight. What did he mean that I wasn't alone?" All of these questions flooded her mind while she was watching Monday Night Raw!
