Sorry bout the long wait. Writers Block, wedding planning, a busy work schedule and school work on top of that does not equal a story. I'm definitely going to try and get something out right now. So hold on and be patient and thanks to everyone for the reviews, here's hoping this is a good one.

"C'mon Johnny, you can do 3 more….don't be a baby!" Liz ordered. John was pushing weights and wanted to finish this set before his arms exploded. He smiled and pushed out another 3. He set the weights back on the stand and just laid there. Liz had a smile on her face and giggled at him. They had been at the gym for an hour now and John was already tired. "I thought you told me that you would go to the gym and work out for 4 hours and never break a sweat,"

"Ya that's before I broke my leg,"

"Excuses, excuses, would Vince take this?"

"No but…."

"No excuses, 12 more!" she giggled. He sighed and did the next 12 reps.

After the weights, they moved to the treadmills so they both could get some running in. Liz had her MP3 player and John had nothing since he couldn't stand listening to rap music when he was trying to run…just didn't work for him. Liz always said that rock music was always a good choice but he just preferred to think when he was running. As she was running and he was at a slower pace he thought about the last few weeks…well couple of months. He and Liz had been together for 5 months now; together as couple for 4 months. It's been absolutely incredible; he had never been this in love with a girl before. Yes he did love her and told her many times but she seemed a little bit hesitant. He told her that night that she never had to say it back until she felt it. He knew that she loved him but she was just scared of getting into this situation again, even though she was. Their relationship was definitely weird but understanding. She never wanted to have a romantic relationship again but knew that John was different.

John looked over at her a smiled. She was different than the typical girl he would usually go after, she was so smart and grounded. She kept him grounded! She was perfect for him. He had never thought about marriage before but could definitely see them together forever. It was so much in so little time, he realized that, but this was different, she was different. This could possibly be it. He could almost possibly thank Adam for almost ruining his career…almost. Speaking of work, Vince had called him a couple days ago while Liz was in the shower. He wanted to know what kind of progress he was making and if Vince could come visit him in a couple of days. He hadn't told Liz yet.

Why he hadn't told Liz yet was the problem. He was doing great actually, better than ever. That was the problem….he could go back to training soon, which means Liz would be gone soon. John had to think of a way that meant Liz and him could stay together. Nothing worked out well in his head.

"John? You done?" Liz asked taking him out of his trance.

"Ya baby, I feel good!" he replied getting off his treadmill. He grabbed Liz by her sides and pulled her over his shoulder. "Let's go home,"

John was in the kitchen making dinner while Liz was setting the table for them. He had to hand it to her, he could barely make Kraft Dinner before and now….he was making soup from a can!!! Well soup from a can with some other stuff added to it. She taught him a lot of things he would have never known, things only a wife know.

"Oh gosh, not again!!!! I have got to stop thinking about that with her. I don't know how were even going to stay together and look at me, I'm already planning our retirement in Miami!" he thought to himself. He had to bring up this conversation with her. It was too much for him to handle. After supper, he kept telling himself, after supper.

"What you thinking about baby?" she asked putting her arms around his waist.

"Nothing really," he replied stirring the pot some more.

"So that's why the water's been boiling over for a little while know?" she asked again. He just looked down to see the mess that it was creating. He pulled the pan off the heat and sighed.

"Ya, I got some things on my mind…" he slowly said.

"About Vince calling you last week?" she replied not looking into his eyes.

"How did you know about that?" he asked.

"He called your cell while you were in the shower. He and I talked for a couple minutes about your progress."

"And what did you tell him?" John asked turning off the burner.

"I told him that you were almost 100 and that perhaps you should start getting ready got getting back into the ring. Start working with a WWE trainer and you know start marketing yourself for a great comeback."

"Why would you tell him that?" John said raising his voice a little more. "I'm doing just fine with your training."

"John, I'm not a personal trainer, okay I'm just a nurse!!!! Just because I can push you to do 12 more reps means nothing. You need someone who actually knows what they're doing to help you, not me. You just want to keep me in your life as long as possible John, but you need to realize that this is going to end sooner or later."

"What are you saying Liz? You want me to go back to wrestling and you go back to your in home nursing and we pretend this never happened,"

"John you are a wrestler. You work for the biggest wrestling company in the world. You are a WWE Champion. What am I? Some nurse you got to fuck while you were taking some down time with a broken leg."

"You were not just some nurse that I fucked for the sheer pleasure! I fucken love you, does that not mean anything to you," he yelled to her.

"You just think you love me but you don't John. This is all imaginary because as soon as you go back to your job there is no way me and you can be together. You can't love me and your only tell me you love me so that when you do leave you'll think it'll hurt,"

"Why are you saying this Liz?" he whispered. "Why are you hurting both of us right now?"

"Your leaving next week. Vince is coming over tomorrow to finalize everything with you and then your plane leaves Tuesday morning," she whispered back to him holding her sides trying to hold back her tears. John just stared at her. He couldn't believe what she was saying. This was ending in less than a week. How could she let this happen?

"John as much as I had fun over this time we have to face reality and be adults. This was nothing more that a fling and it was just to make things go easier between us.: Liz said before John grabbed her by her arms and pulled her forwards. He pressed his lips against hers and kissed her with all his might. He put all his love and passion into it and then he felt her relax and return the same passion towards him. He pulled away.

"You cannot lie and say that was a fling between us for the past 4 months Liz. There is something more between us and you know it. I know that deep down inside that you are scared of this and believe me I am to but we just have do this together." He held her face in between his hands and kissed her lightly. " I love you Liz and I always will. I know that deep down inside that you love me too and you don't want to do this. You do not want to leave me and I sure as hell don't want to leave you." Her eyes just welled up with tears. He saw in her eyes the love in them and sincerity inside and everything she just told him was a lie. She close her eyes and pulled away from him.

"I'll have my things out of here by Monday," she replied. With that she walked to her room downstairs and closed the door. He just stood there watching where she just was. He wanted to cry but declared to himself that it wasn't over. He would do whatever it took to keep her in his life.
