Okay, the chapter is not really THAT important for the story ( but knowing Hanna she'll tell me it is which I'm perfectly fine with, you know I love your reviews and they're always highly anticipated), but I just had to post this. I just wanted to show how Hunter feels about the whole situation. And I wanted to wet the appetite a little more because it will take me a few days to finish Chapter 11 where (hopefully) the truth will be revealed and things will drown in drama.. LoL

Read and enjoy.

Chapter 10

Corey woke up as the first rays of the raising sun shone through the curtain, and he glanced down smiling. Joelle lay srawled out over his chest, the sheets barely covering her naked form. Corey sighed, she had been so gentle and patient with him. They had made love a second time during the night and Corey felt more alive than ever. He gently stroked Joelle's blonde locks, and she stirred. Opening her eyes slowly she glanced up from under her thick lashes and smiled.

" Mornin'."

" Hey sunshine." Corey greeted and kissed the top of her head. " How are you feeling?"

" Sore." Joelle chuckled. " Just have to get used to you, you're definately beyond average."

Corey blushed and Joelle giggled.

" Hungry?" he asked hoping to change the topic, but Joelle looked at him seductively. " Just for you." She said and disappeared under the blanket.

The WWE stayed in town for the Raw show where Corey successfully defended his championship in his rematch with Morgan, and much to Corey's delight Hunter joined them back on the road alongside Jay.

The Hall of Famer apologized over and over again for Brandon's behavior, and Corey was starting to get a bit annoyed.

" Will you stop it, I told you like a thousand times it's ok."

" But it's not, I should beat some sense into him." Hunter said.

" Knowing both of you you would end up in a hardcore fist fight." Corey chuckled.

" Probably, but I can take him." Hunter beamed confidently.

" You, my dear, need your energy for more important things." Jay said wiggling her brows.

Hunter raised a brow at her. " Why you can't be….again?…oh man.."

Corey laughed. " These women never get enough." He grinned sheepishly.

Now Hunter raised a brow at his protégé. " And how would you know that unless…" he trailed of. Then he grinned broadly. " You? You…huh?…huh?…" Corey blushed slightly but couldn't hide the smile.

" HAH! Now that's my Kid. Baby go find Joelle and let the guys talk here." Jay grinned and shoved her husband before walking away.

" Details! I want details." Hunter demanded and Corey laughed. But he felt like sharing his new found experience with someone and Hunter seemed to be an expert on this territory.

So after settling on the announcers table in the deserted arena Corey filled him in, even telling him that he had thought about him and what he had said.

" You were thinking of me while screwing that chick? Dude, you're scaring me." Hunter said playfully and Corey grinned.

" She's so perfect, Hunt, only thinking of her makes me..uh..well.."

" I know exactly what you mean." Hunter said dreamily, thinking of his own girl.

" Hunt? Can I ask you something?" Corey turned serious.

" Sure, what's up?"

" Well, you and Jay, you've been together for so long now and…when did you realize that she was the one,.. you know?"

Hunter smiled. " I knew it right away Kid, I felt it the second I laid my eyes on her."

Corey looked at his mentor amazed. So love at first sight could happen.

" Wow..and how…I mean.. how did you know that?"

" Well, I just can speak for myself, but you know, it's when you think you can't live without her, when you can't imagine another woman by your side, when you feel your heart race every time you look at her, you know, it just feels right. And as you know we turned out to be more than right, I still feel the butterflies every time she smiles. Somehow we were just meant to be together. And honestly, I would marry her all over again every day of my life."

Corey smiled to himself. And he believed every word Hunter had said. He could see it every time he saw the couple together, the sparks were still flying, the fire was still burning.

And he smiled because he felt the same for Joelle. He really could picture himself with his beautiful girlfriend living in a little house with a bunch of kids, although it was way too early to think of the far future. He knew that, but like Hunter had said, Joelle just felt right by his side, and he wouldn't give her up for the world.

" You really love her, right?" Hunter asked.

Corey nodded. " We've only been together a few months, but I can say I do love her."

" Screw the time, it's only a number. I fell in love with my wife two minutes after I met her." Hunter laughed, then turned serious.

" I tell you what Corey, if you really love her, do me and yourself and her the favor and always stay true to her. You know I made that stupid mistake once, and I paid for it dearly. She wouldn't look at me for weeks, let alone let me touch her, for months, and that was really hard. I know I broke her heart and it took years for her to forgive and trust me again. You have no idea how I felt. People can think of me what they want, I know that I was the one thinking with my dick, but the guilt was eating me up inside. She could have left me, yes, but she didn't and I thank God every day for it. I want you to remember that, Kid, they can forgive, but they will never forget."

Corey fell silent thinking about Hunter's words. He loved his wife to death, but he still had made that mistake, and Corey wondered if he also could do something like that despite his feelings for Joelle.

He shook his head. " No, I'll never be so stupid." He said emphatically.

Hunter nodded and stood up. " That's good to hear." And he walked up the ramp slowly.

He turned and shot one last look at Corey before disappearing through the curtain.

' It wasn't so stupid after all, I have you. If you only knew…' he thought mournfully.
