Thanks:
Rose Hardy 101: Hope ya enjoy it! And I hope I wasn't too vague on what happened to her cause it says why she doesn't trust him in this chapter.
Peppermint Princess: No crying! Lol. I miss JBL too! I didn't get to see it but I heard about him quitting? 0o I'm betting he'll be on Raw soon enough. My Mom thinks he'll go to ECW but I doubt that one . . Enjoy!
Summers here! I'm outta school! Maybe I can get some fics finished now! WHOO HOO!
The morning sun rose to find them still asleep on the floor as they were the night before. He held her close to his chest as if she'd slip trough his fingers at that moment but she didn't want going anywhere. Not now. Knowing she was tired he gently lifted her and laid her on the bed before crawling in his self and wrapping his arms around her protectively. He felt her flinch beneath his grasp and he gently whispered in here 'It's just me baby. Don't be tense." He felt her muscles ease beneath his arms then and her breathing grew soft again. She was asleep.
He couldn't sleep. He had too much to think about. So that was why she hid from him so? He felt so bad for her. She had tortured herself all these years over something that was not her fault. Someone had taken her innocence from her way too soon and destroyed everything that was strong about her. Now he knew the reason for the stony exterior and the fragile interior.
He was going to have to take it step by step with her but he was patient, he'd help her realize that she's beautiful and something like what had happened to her couldn't tarnish that. He had to earn her trust and he'd do anything to earn that trust. He felt damn privileged that she was at least letting him hold her. It made him feel good, like he might be one step closer to helping her recover already.
He pulled her to him just a little tighter and settled down behind her. The very scent of her hair, of her perfume was enough to intoxicate him. Now that the truth is out in the open there's no barriers between them, and not even his wrestling career could make him compromise that right now.
