Chapter 10
The following morning when Becki opened her eyes she was certain she had dreamt it all. That was until the arm wrapped around her waist, that she hadn't noticed, pulled her back against a warm, hard chest.
"Morning sunshine" John whispered in her ear as he hugged her to him.
Smiling Bex replied "Good morning"
"Yeah! It is a good morning isn't it? Did you sleep well?"
"I didn't wake you up screaming, so yes"
John sighed as he buried his head against her shoulder "If I have anything to do with it you wont be waking up screaming anymore"
Becki didn't reply, all she did was lay her hand on top his which was resting on her stomach, glancing at clock, 8.30, she groaned.
"Bex can I ask you something?"
"Yeah"
"Are you scared of me in some way?" he needed an answer, otherwise he'd go insane.
Turning to face him Bex asked "What?"
"With you having nightmares about me, I can't help but wonder if your afraid of me in some way"
Squeezing his hand, that was still resting on her stomach, Bex leant over and brushed her lips against his softly.
"I'm sorry that I freaked out yesterday at your house, I guess it was because I wasn't used to you being there after a nightmare. But I'm definitely not afraid of you."
"How long have I been in your nightmares?" John asked quietly
Becki's heart hurt when she looked at him, she could see the pain in his eyes and she knew he hated the fact that she had nightmares about him.
"Since I left" when she saw the look of anguish that passed over his features Bex repeated "I'm not afraid of you John"
"Then why?" he mumbled
Scooting closer to him and allowing him to wrap his arms around her Bex sighed "I don't know why, maybe because I was afraid you'd hate me because of what I did"
John held onto her as if his life depended on it as he kissed the top of her head and replied "I don't hate you, I hate the fact I'm in your nightmares!"
"John! Can't breathe" Bex gasped against his chest
"Sorry" John muttered but only released his grip slightly.
"I hate that your in them too but in case you haven't noticed, I don't seem to have them when your with me"
"Then why did I wake you up last night?" John argued
"Because I was having a nightmare, but after that I slept peacefully and the night before was the first proper nights sleep I had. So if I was afraid of you why would that happen?"
John shrugged, still holding her tightly "Ok! But please tell me if anything changes"
"What could change? I'm not afraid of you and I seriously doubt I ever will be"
"Good" John mumbled as he kissed the top of her head, then relished the smell of her hair, it smelt like fruit.
"Are you sniffing my hair?" Bexlaughed into his chest as he squished her against him once more.
"Yeah! So? Can I ask you one more thing?"
"Uh-huh"
"Did you know Mel had been in contact with Randy?" he felt Bex tense at the mention of Randy and he couldn't help but feel angry again, but he was determined not to take it out on Bex.
"No" Bex whispered "She told me she hadn't been in contact with him since I went back"
"So you haven't been in contact with him?"
Bex noticed the edge return in his voice and sighed, it seemed Randy was going to be a problem!
"No, I haven't had contact with anyone. This was sprung on me too!" she couldn't help but feel a little defensive. Was he accusing her of something?
"I know. Jo told me about Mel lying to get you here. I'm glad she did though"
"I don't like that she lied! But I'm glad I'm here too" as an afterthought she whispered "I missed you so much"
"I missed you too baby"
John begrudgingly let Bex go before hopping out of the bed "I'm gonna take a shower"
"Kay! But John we need to talk…..about Randy"
Bex watched as Johns face darkened "There isn't anything to talk about"
"Yes there is" Becki replied cautiously
"No! Bex I'm not gonna argue about it wit ya! He kissed you! I can't forgive him for that"
"What about me? I kissed him too" Becki sensed another argument on the horizon and was dreading it.
John sighed and walked back over to the bed, hearing her say it out loud made him even more angry, he didn't know why but that anger was directed towards Randy! Sitting on the edge of the bed he reached for her hand, hesitantly she took it.
"I'm willing to forgive you! I know everything wont be great between us immediately but we can work through that"
"But if you can forgive me then why not Randy?"
"I trusted him to take care of you"
"He did take care of me" Bex wasn't completely sure how she felt about Randy but she did know she was as much to blame as he was for their kiss.
"By kissing you!" John said angrily then sighed when Bex let go of his hand "Sorry, Can we please not talk about him for now?"
Becki could tell he was angry, she didn't want to argue with him so she agreed "Okay, whatever you want"
"Thanks" he replied before heading into the bathroom.
When John returned to the room from his shower Becki was dressed and sat on the bed flipping through the TV channels.
"Finally" she announced as she hopped off the bed "I thought you'd never come out" she added as she hopped past him and into the bathroom.
John smiled as the door to the bathroom closed, he walked over to the bed and was about to sit down when there was a knock at the door.
"What do you two want?" he asked when he opened the door.
"Rude much?" Melody replied as Joanne laughed "Hello to you too"
John stepped aside so Jo could wheel Melody in "Well? What do ya want?"
"To see Bex! This is her room remember?" Jo replied, raising an eyebrow at John as she flopped onto the sofa at the other side of the room.
John flipped her off as she smiled sweetly at him "What are you scheming now?"
"Nothing" Jo replied innocently
"Uh huh! Sure"
Changing the subject Jo asked "What are your plans for the weekend?"
"Seeing as I've been given today and tomorrow off I was just gonna stay here and catch a flight Monday morning. Why?" John wasn't stupid, he knew they were up to something.
"Wanna come to Miami instead?" Jo asked
"Why?" John asked raising an eyebrow.
"Mel shouldn't be travelling yet so Mark has said she can stay at the house"
"And it has nothing to do with Smackdown having house shows there?" John replied
Jo shrugged "Well that too"
"I told you Jo…"
"Look you don't have to see him or anything, you and Bex can stay at the house"
"Fine whatever!" John snapped as Bex emerged from the bathroom.
"Hey Bex" Jo grinned
"Hey" Becki looked from Jo to John, he was mad.
"What's going on?" she asked cautiously.
"These two want us to go to Miami for the weekend" John turned to Bex and wrapped an arm around her waist, making sure she knew he wasn't mad at her.
Mel and Jo looked at one another and smirked "So have you two kissed and made up?" Mel asked
Bex glared at her friend, she was still mad at Mel for lying about Randy, "Maybe, so keep your nose out!"
"Your not still in a mood are ya?"
"I am actually!" Bex snapped
"Fine" Mel muttered
"Do you wanna go to Marks house in Miami?" John whispered as Jo and Mel started talking amongst themselves.
"I don't mind, do you wanna go?"
"I don't care where I am as long as you're there" John replied before kissing her temple.
"Ok, lets go"
"Just to warn you, Smackdown are in Miami so I think Mel is going to see Randy"
"Oh" was all Bex said as she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her forehead on his chest.
"Still wanna go?"
At this point both Jo and Mel had stopped talking and were watching this interaction with interest.
"I don't have to see him do I?" Bex asked as she looked up at John. Part of her wanted to see Randy, she had missed him too but she didn't want to anger John either. Plus she didn't have a clue what she would say to Randy.
John smiled "If you don't want to see him you don't have too"
John was relieved, he didn't know how he would react if Bex had said she wanted to see Randy, he'd have probably gone on the war path and told her she couldn't see him or something equally as stupid!
Bex nodded "Ok, I still wanna go"
Joanne jumped up "Cool, I'll round up Matt, Jeff and Marc and I'll get us on the next flight"
When they arrived in Miami Joanne announced she was taking Melody straight to the arena to surprise Randy.
"No you ain't! Take us to the house first" John protested
"But…."
"No buts! Take us to the house first or do I need to go and get myself a rental?"
Joanne huffed "Fine!"
The journey continued in silence. Joanne was mad at John for being stubborn. Becki and Melody refused to speak to each other. Marc was listening to his I-pod ignoring everyone and Matt and Jeff chose to stay silent for fear of getting their heads bitten off.
"Get out then" Jo snapped at John when she pulled up outside the house.
"Keys" John snapped back as he hopped out of the car and held his hand out to Bex.
"Are you coming?" Bex said to Jeff as she took Johns offered hand while Jo mumbled to herself about John as she searched for the house keys in her bag.
"Nah I'm gonna go say hi to people at the arena"
"Oh, ok" Bex was a little disappointed, she'd grown quite attached to Jeff.
"You can hang out with me when we get back sweetie"
"Yeah! Ya got me, what's wrong with me?" John asked as he scooped Bex out of the car when she didn't move.
Bex grinned "Do you really want me to answer that?"
Marc sniggered as he got out of the car "Nah he doesn't, it would take too long"
John set Bex on her feet before flipping Marc off and snatching the keys from Joanne who was hanging out of the car window, waving them in his face.
"See ya later Bex" Jo called and sped off as Matt and Jeff waved at her.
"She's gone with my crutches" Bex announced as she watched the car disappear.
"Well you'll just have to hop then wont ya?" John smirked as Marc grabbed the keys from his hand and made his way to the house, bobbing his head in time to whatever music he was listening too.
"What happened to you carrying me?" Bex smirked back.
John laughed then pouted "Your not being nice to me!"
"It was Marc that said it would take too long"
"Well you didn't defend me so ya can hop" John smirked and turned to walk away, Bex reached out and grabbed his arm but because she was balancing one leg she fell forwards. John caught her easily,
"Ya know that's a cheap trick! Falling over coz ya know I'll catch ya so you end up in my arms"
"Oh shut up already and carry me"
"Ok if you insist!" John swiftly hauled her over his shoulder and made his way to the house.
Bex was laughing all the way to the house but when they got through the door she felt John tense.
Marc whistled then said "I'm gonna go this way" before walking back out of the house.
Slowly John let Bex down, keeping his arms firmly around her waist. Bex looked up at John cautiously before turning around in his arms only to come face to face…………….with Randy!
