Chapter 8: I'm Real
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jade woke up the next morning to the smell of coffee and the sound of laughter in the kitchen. She looked at the clock and realized it wasn't morning, but afternoon.
"12:17. Holy shit I haven't slept that long since I was 16" she said out loud to nobody.
She crawled out of bed and went through the bags of clothes on the floor next to the dresser. She pulled out a pair of light blue jeans and a red short sleeved fitted polo shirt. She went into the adjoining bathroom, softly humming 'You Keep Me Hanging On, by The Supremes. After she was showered and dressed she made her way to the kitchen. She found Shannon, Justin, Matt, Jeff, Cody and Gregory Helms, sitting around talking about wrestling and The Hardy Show. They noticed her walk in the kitchen, Justin hopped off the chair and ran to give her a hug. She noticed he was dressed. He didn't match, but he was dressed.
"Who helped you pick out your clothes?" She asked with a grin.
"Me and Jeff picked them out. I look good, huh mom?
"Yeah baby" she said through her laugh. "You're a picture of perfection." she said placing a kiss on his head. Jeff stood up from the table and came over and gave Jade a hug.
"Good to have you in Carolina." He said releasing her. Matt was next.
"If you need anything, or these douche-bags give you any issues" He said pointing to Shannon, Cody and Greg, "You let me know. I'll be all vamped and fuck some shit up."
"You'll be the first person I call." She said returning his hug.
"I'm Shane. Well my name is Greg, But My name is Shane, too." He said shaking her hand.
"Nice to meet you."
"And of course you know this fuck-nut" Matt said pointing at Cody.
"Who could forget." She said dryly.
"You remember that too, honey." He said to her with a wink. Shannon looked at him like he was going to blow a fuse. If looks could kill, Cody would have fell flat to the ground.
"Okay, My bad. Good to see you, Jade." he said softer now.
"I'm sure." she said now leaning against the counter.
"Look, I'm sorry about what happened. If I would have known I wouldn't have even said anything to you in the first place."
"Yeah right, like you could not be a dickhead, what are you gonna do now that you know, Own up to your promise?" She asked receiving laughs from the guys.
"Haa Haa, ooohh, face bitch." Jeff said sticking his hand in Cody's face.
"Yeah, Well I'm gonna go pump some Iron." Cody said standing up from the bar counter top.
"Fuck dude, You can't even pump gas." Shannon said rising up from the table walking over to Jade.
"Gym's downstairs. You need anything, holler to me, baby" he said placing light kisses on her lips. She put her hand on the side of his neck and played with some of the hair behind his ears. "You're beautiful" He said pulling away from her.
"So are you." she replied kissing his lips again.
"We'll be done in like half hour." He said walking away from her. "Waiiiitt. You wanna go to the store and pick up some stuff for the barbeque. Theres gonna be a few people, and we need some food, We can go together if you want when we're done or nevermi.."
"Its okay, I'll go. Just tell me how to get there" She said giving him a smile.
He wrote down the directions and gave her his debit card, writing the pin number on her hand. He gave her his cell phone.
"If you have any prob.."
"Shannon, I think I can manage a trip to store." She said smiling at him.
"I know, baby. I just…..can't lose you." He said kissing her again.
"I'll be back." she said letting her hand run over his side while she walked away from him.
"Justin, c'mon lets go to the store." she said to her son. "But not, looking like that." she said smiling.
"Awe, Mom. Can I stay with Shannon and lift weights with them"
"Baby, No don't get in their way."
"Baby, he can stay if he wants. Never too early to start him out." He said smiling at her.
"Are you fucking kidding me? He's 7"
"Yeah, We started at 9 or 10. He'll be buff as shit by then." he said leaning into her.
"Yeah, Mom. I wanna be buff as shit" He said looking at her now realizing what he said.
"Justin, don't swear." She said sternly.
"Sorry, Can I stay, Please, Mom." he begged.
"Let him stay, baby" Shannon whispered in her ear so Justin couldn't hear her.
He kissed her cheek and gave her a little nod. "He'll be fine, baby" He mouthed to her knowing that was her biggest concern. She could tell Justin no, but not Shannon. After all, Justin never had any guys around. It would do him some good.
"Okay" she said giving in. "You be careful, be good, and stay out of the way." She said giving him a kiss.
"I will mom. One. Four. Three." he said running out of the kitchen.
"See you in a minute baby." she said to Shannon.
"Baby, buy anything you want. No matter what it is. And we don't have a lot of groceries, if you wan.."
"I got it, Shan." She said kissing him before disappearing to get shoes. She slipped on a pair black flip flops grabbed the keys and her bag and closed the door.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She was shopping in the Wal-Mart super center, getting a case of Snapple Lemon Iced Tea. She stood up and took a step back bumping into someone. Set slid the tea into the cart and turned around.
"I'm really sorry about that." She said apologizing to a pair of deep blue eyes. He was tall, about 6'4. Dark hair and very muscular. And very good looking. For whatever reason he didn't match up anything to Shannon in her head.
"It's okay, no harm, no foul" he said with a smirk on his face, obviously checking her out.
"Right, Well, I'm sorry" She said again turning to push the cart out of the isle. He looked at her strangely, noticing through her make up some discoloration in her face. He held out his hand.
"I'm Randy." She shook it.
"Jade." she replied.
"Jade, That's beautiful." He flirted.
"Well, You can thank my parents."
"Remind me to do that." he said smiling
I don't wanna be too forward or anything, but one of my friends is having a BBQ today and, well, You wanna go?" he asked her boldly. Was Randy Orton anything but bold? No.
"Sorry, Randy." She began. 'Oh, Shit. Shut down' he thought to himself.
"I have my own BBQ to attend, and a boyfriend." She said with a smile. It had been a long time since she could actually say that someone proudly. "Thanks for the offer though, that's sweet." she said dropping his hand and walking away.
She left Randy there stunned. Nobody had ever turned him down. That wasn't something that happened. He could fuck Mother Theresa and he knew it. He left the isle bewildered and checked out, heading to Shannon's. Jade finished getting groceries, not only for the barbeque but that would last them for a couple weeks. She knew that Shannon was probably on a strict diet, so she bought as much lean food as she could, not really knowing what he likes yet. She loaded up the SUV and drove off headed back home.
She pulled into the driveway and noticed a few ore cars there than when she left, and a few people standing out front. She reached in the back and started to grab grocery bags when she felt someone pull her away. She turned around into Shannon's chest. She stepped back and looked up at him.
"We'll get them, baby" he said giving her a kiss.
"Okay, good." She walked in to the house holding the door open for he other 7 guys that fallowed him with all the bags. She fallowed them into the kitchen. "Wow. Groceries never got unloaded so fast for me." She smiled. "Thanks guys."
A round of your welcomes echoed through the kitchen. After she and Shannon had put all the groceries away, they made there way to the patio, where Justin Jeff and a few other people she didn't know where swimming in the pool.
"Isn't it a little strange that it's November, and its still 85 degrees out?" She asked.
"Not really, We're on the ocean, and we're sort of in the south. It gets cold around the middle of December. And I can heat the water in the pool." Shannon said pulling her down into his lap. He aimlessly rubbed her back while introducing her to the people that came in. He looked behind himself as he heard the door close. Jade was engrossed in conversation with Stacy and Maria. The only other 2 girls at the house. She was interrupted out of the conversation when Shannon spoke to her.
"Baby, This is Randy." She turned around and noticed the same guy she'd met earlier at the store.
"Well, Randy. Fancy seeing you here."
"I told you I was going to a BBQ." he smiled.
"You've met?" Shannon asked.
"Sorta, I bumped into him at the store." she explained.
"And I tried to invite her to a BBQ, but she had her own to go to, and a boyfriend" he said quoting her.
"How'd it feel getting rejected for once, Randy?" Cody asked from the other side of the table.
"It was a shock, I was surprised to say the least, but you should know Cody. You always get rejected." The group laughed at Cody's expense.
"You guys are gay." He said getting up and diving in the pool.
Jade focused on Justin. He was taking to everybody really well, something she wasn't sure he would do. He watched as Jeff and Matt power bombed him into the water. And Jeff was teaching him high flyer moves off the diving board.
"Mooooomm!" he hollered from the pool. "Watch this!!" He said running off the diving board and doing a front flip into the pool. He came above water and looked at her. "That was awesome, wasn't it?" He asked.
"It was great, Bubbie" She said smiling at him.
"He's fucking adorable, Jade." Maria said looking from Justin to her.
"Thank you" She said smiling.
"How old is he?"
"7."
"Wow, you had him young, huh."
"Yeah, I was 17 when I had him, 16 when I found out I was pregnant." she said a little disappointed in herself. She received a squeeze from Shannon around her waist and felt his forehead lean on her back.
"am I squishing you, babe?" she asked him.
"Yeah, all 130 pounds of you are flattening me."
"So, Shannon's your boyfriend" Randy quipped up from the other side of the table.
"He is. He's hot right?"
"Smokin'" Randy said sarcastically.
"Aweee, C'mon Orton, Its cool to be secure in your sexuality." Shannon said to him.
"Okay you got me, You're hot as hell Shannon" Randy said through his smile.
Shannon nodded his head slowly. "That was a little freaky, but alright." he said laughing.
"You wanna go swimming, baby?" He asked putting his chin on her shoulder.
"No, I'm good. You can." She said getting off his lap so he could go change.
A few minutes later Shannon came back out with his red and black swimming shorts on. Jade stared at his body as he stood there talking to people, they then proceded to push him in the water, but he turned it into a moved and made it a back flip.
"Nice try though" he said laughing as he came up from under the water. He never failed to amaze her. He was the epitome of slick. He lived up to it. Everything about him was smooth, from the way he kept his cool when he was talking, to the motion he used when he was walking. Jade felt herself falling for him more and more. She got nervous, but didn't ignore the butterflies in her stomach. He was becoming some of her everything, true she wasn't looking for a father for Justin, but he was it. And she knew it. He was it for them, She loved him, she knew she loved him when he kept his promise to her to come back in 3 weeks. He was the only one she fully opened up to in her whole life, and it felt good to have someone still care about her after knowing everything.
After the BBQ was done, everyone but Jeff, Matt and Randy left. They were n the living room playing madden 07 with Justin. Jade was in the kitchen unloading the dishwasher and wiping the counter tops down. Shannon walked in the kitchen fully changed with a pair of black Adidas nylon track pants and white t shirt with the sleeves cut off that said 'street sweepers' on the back. He walked over to jade and pulled her into a hug from the back. She let out a shrill scream and dropped a glass on the floor.
"Damn, baby. You ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, you scared the shit outta me." She said looking at the floor. "Sorry about your glass." she said starting to clean it up.
"That's our glass, baby. Everything is ours. And I'm gonna call the bank tomorrow and switch my account to a joint account, so you have access."
"Baby, no, don't do th.." he silenced her with his lips.
"Yes, I am. You'll have your own card, so you can get shit while I'm gone."
"I'm gonna get a job, Shannon. I'm not just gonna live here and not do anything."
"You're doing everything, by just being here with me." He said pulling her back into a hug and kissing her. "I know you don't know how I feel about you, I'm afraid if I told you, you would haul ass outta here. But I want you around…..for ever. I know it sounds committed and what-not, but that's just some of how I feel." She kissed him this time. Nobody ever made her feel like Shannon did. It was like he kissed away all her problems. He treated her so good, she wasn't sure if it was real. She pinched herself then flinched.
"What are you doin?" he asked her lauging.
"I was making sure you were real." She said leaning into his chest.
"I'm real, baby. Our little family is gonna be just fine, now." He said rubbing her back. She smiled into his chest. 'Our little family' She thought about that. She and Justin were their own family for a long time. Now they were Shannon's family. It felt great to know someone cared about her sincerely, that wasn't Carrie. She loved Carrie, of course. But her love for Shannon and Justin were way different. Jade leaned up and kissed him.
"I'm so glad you found me." she smiled.
"Oh, you have noooo fucking idea. I knew I couldn't let you go. Just by how your hand felt when we touched. You were mine." he said laughing lightly into her ear. "I sound like a fucking psycho. MINE. MINE. MINE." She laughed at the tone of his voice.
"I'm gonna go put Justin to bed, I'll be right back" she said glancing at the clock noticing it was after 10. "I'm gonna have to enroll him in school Monday." She said looking at him.
"We'll do it together." he said winking at her, and slapping her ass as she walked out of the room.
"Bubbie, C'mon. Its time for bed."
"Awe, c'mon, mom. One more game."
"No, come on" she said in a tone he knew not to argue with. He stood up giving his paddle to Matt.
"Night, dude." they said to him, slapping hands like they went way back.
"Night, guys. See you later." he said waving.
"Night, Shannon." he said giving him a hug. Shannon hugged him back, and ruffled his hair.
"Night, kid." he said looking at him. He made his way into the living room for a round of Madden with the guys. After Jade tucked Justin in she went to change. She slipped into a pair of gray pajama pants and one of Shannon's over sized t-shirts. She walked back into the living room while Shannon was walking people to the door.
"See you later, Jade." Jeff said coming over to her. "You're an awesome fuckin cook and you have a cool ass kid." She smiled up at him.
"Thanks Jeff" She said as he hugged her. "See you later guys." she said waiving.
"Sorry about hittin on you." Randy said to her, walking out the door.
"It happens." she said laughing lightly.
"I've never been turned down though, so thanks for popping my cherry." he said laughing.
"No problem." She said laughing as well. Shannon shut the door when everyone was out. He looked over at her in his t-shirt.
"Cute." he smiled.
"Do you care?" she asked.
"No, not at all." he said wrapping his arms around her and picking her up. She wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed him passionately, he carried them to the couch, sitting so she was straddling Shannon.
"You're so fucking amazing, baby." He said kissing her again. His hands slid up her shirt and around the back. He moved his kisses to her neck ,while he unclasped her bra.
"Oops." He said biting her neck softly.
"I'm sure it was an accident" She said sarcastically. He didn't respond, just continued to suck on her neck gently and left a trail of kisses back to her lips. She ran her hands up the side of his body and under the bandana on his head. She took it off and tossed in on the floor. She ran her hands through his hair, causing him to moan into her mouth. She had no idea what her touch was doing to him. She pulled back from the kiss and looked at him.
"I have a confession." She whispered.
"What's up?" He asked still kissing her neck.
"The first night you came to see me."
"mmm hmm." he replied now sucking lightly below her ear.
"When I fell asleep, I had a dream that we had sex." he stopped kissing her and looked at her with a smile.
"How was it?"
She laughed at him. She didn't answer him. She kissed him on the corner of his mouth, he turned his head to meet hers, and kissed her deeply. He picked her back up and carried her to their bedroom. He laid her on the bed slowly crawling up over her. He pulled his tshirt off and threw it on the floor. Her hands were now pulling his shirt off his sculpted body.
"Your body drives me insane." she told him running her hands over his chest and down his arms.
"You have no idea, girl." he said slipping his fingers into the waistband of her pants. He slid them off kissing her body the whole way down. He added her clothing to forming pile on the floor. He got onto his knees, looking at her. She suddenly felt self conscious when she felt his eyes look over her entire body.
"What?" She asked.
He shook his head. "Nothin. You're fucking……beautiful. I don't know what to say, but…I'm so glad your mine. He shed the rest of his clothing and let his hands up Jades thighs. He gripped her waist and pulled her down the bed. He crawled between her legs, kissing the valley between her breast. He looked at her and let his teeth slid over his bottom lip. He kissed her while he entered her. A soft moan coming from her lips. She hadn't had sex in 3 years and he was making her dreams a reality. He formed a steady pace until she lifted her hips off the bed and into his. He flipped her over on top of him and pulled her down sucking on her collar bone and breast while she rode him. She started shaking on top of him and he knew she was about to cum. He held onto her waist thrusting his hips to meet her every move. She moaned his name over and over, speaking faster as she was getting closer to her climax. He flipped her over once more and pounded his hips into her. She bit into his shoulder so she wouldn't scream and wake up Justin. He felt her walls tighten as she climaxed. That sent him over the edge also releasing into her.
"Oh my god" She breathed into his neck as he collapsed onto her. He kissed her again smiling at her.
"What?"
"That's was fucking….." she couldn't finish. "Wow"
"I know, baby. Better than the dream?" He asked with a cocky grin, knowing he was good.
She shook her head slightly laughing. "Much. Much better" He kissed her again and got off of her. He held her in his strong arms until her breathing became steady. He kissed her head and fell into a deep sleep himself.
