Mika stood in her office a few days later going over the fabric samples she'd received in the mail. "This is not what we ordered, Frederico. I've been doing business there for a long time and this isn't the first screw up in the last three months."
"I understand Mika. My apologies and I will rush you the fabric you ordered, no charge."
"Thank you." She said. She hung up the office line just as her cell phone rang. She smiled when she saw it was Allie. "How are things?"
"Good. John's protecting me. How are things there?"
"Chaotic. But nothing I can't handle."
"Glad to hear it. Oh, I sent you something. Should be waiting at your place when you get home. You did say you were knocking off early today right?"
"Yeah I am. I'm getting ready to walk out the door."
"Great. Hope you enjoy it and I will see you in a few days right?"
"See you in a few and you stay close to John."
"Always." Allie laughed as she hung up.
Mika grabbed her things and walked out the door to head home. She just wanted to slip into a nice tub of hot water and relax.
Teddy smiled as he looked around the house, the kitchen table full of shopping bags. He'd made sure to send Allie a message when he'd landed and thanked her for giving him the key to Mika's place. He picked up his phone as it rang and smiled when he saw it was Allie.
"Hey, she's on her way home. She should be there in an hour."
"You're the best Al, thanks." He said as he hung up. He started to make dinner for her. He wanted her to be surprised and for it to be romantic.
Mika arrived at her place and headed in. She was shocked to see lights on. She didn't think she had left them on. She walked in and smelled a wonderful smell from the kitchen. She slowly made her way there and was shocked to see Ted in her kitchen cooking or warming up something.
"I thought you didn't cook?" She asked walking in. He smiled at her.
"I can't. But I stopped by your favorite restaurant and I got your favorites. And I have a couple of days off." He said as he walked over and kissed her. She smiled. "So let's eat before this gets cold and then we can go to bed." She raised her eyebrows a little at him. 'Because I'm tired from my flight."
She smiled. "Right."
Allie sat in the locker room waiting on John to get back. He had to take care of something and then they were heading back to the hotel. She looked over at Cody, who John had talked into babysitting her. She had stayed away from Matt as best she could. John and the others always made sure she had someone with her at all times. She looked up as the door opened and Stephen walked in.
"Allie, I found this letter outside for you." He said holding it up.
"Do you know who it from?" She asked.
"I didn't see who left it. Do you want me to open it?"
"Can you?"
"Sure." He opened the letter and read it to himself first. "I think I should show it to John."
"Why?" She walked over to him. "What does it say?" He sighed and handed her the note. "You can't be protected forever. Remember the last time you tried to get away from me." She took the picture out of the envelope. It was one that he had taken after he beat her pretty bad because she wouldn't do something. It was one of the times he wouldn't take her to the hospital. "Oh my god."
"Don't worry, he won't get a chance." Stephen said as the door opened. John looked at Allie and then at Stephen.
"What's going on?"
"I found this outside the door." He handed the note and picture to John.
John's face turned to stone and he looked at them. "Can you guys stay with Allie? I'll be right back."
Allie put her hand on his arm. "Please don't do anything to get yourself in trouble."
He kissed her and pulled away. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine." He walked down the hallway and walked into the general locker room. Matt looked up at him and smirked. The smirk quickly faded when John walked in and turned him around so they were standing face to face. "You like trying to intimidate my girlfriend?"
"Just trying to remind her of her place." Matt said. John smirked and then grabbed Matt forcing back against the lockers.
"Maybe I haven't made myself clear….if you ever come near her again, I will kill you." John said. "You won't have to worry about Mika or any of the rest of the guys. And you won't see me coming." He said as he gave him a little shove. He turned to walk away.
"You can't always be with her Cena. And make no mistake about it; her and that other little bitch will get what's coming to them."
John didn't waste time in shoving him against the lockers and placing his arm at his throat. "DO YOU THINK I'M KIDDING? YOU PIECE OF SHIT! I WILL KILL YOU PAINFULLY. Allie doesn't want you and you will never hurt her again." He rammed his head back against the lockers. "DON'T FORGET WHAT I SAID. I WILL KILL YOU AND NO ONE WILL STOP ME OR FIND YOUR BODY. STAY AWAY FROM ALLIE AND MIKA."
John gave him one last shove and then headed out. The nerve of that guy to threaten and intimate her.
Mika smiled as she lay in bed with Teddy after they'd made love. "God, that was amazing." He said as he kissed her on the forehead. She smiled.
"I try." She said causing him to laugh. "So how'd you manage a few days off?"
"I'm charming."
"Really?"
"Yeah and I was deserved a little time off."
"Good because I don't want to let you go anytime soon." She smiled and kissed him. "I should have known that Allie would help you."
"She did." He smiled.
"She's okay right?"
"She's been a little stressed lately on the road but John is taking care of that. I don't think he really lets her out of his sight for too long. If he has a match or promo, he gets one of the guys to stay with her. She goes with him to all his signing." He said as he ran his hand over her cheek and took in her worried expressions. "Hey, don't worry. We won't let anything happen to her. I promise you that."
She nodded and smiled. She leaned in and kissed him. She was so worried for Allie. Matt was dangerous and he knew exactly how to make Allie doubt herself. She turned her attention to Ted as they made love again. Allie was safe with John and for now she just wanted to be in this moment with Ted.
Ted sighed as there was a knock on the door. He slipped on his jeans and kissed Mika's head as she slept. He answered the door and signed for the package. He tipped the guy and walked back into the room. He wondered what the package was. He sat it down on the table intending to wait until Mika was awake but he decided to go ahead and open it. He pulled the packing tape off and opened the box. He carefully looked inside.
"What the fuck?" He said as he pulled out the pictures from the box. They were of Allie in various states of distress. He looked up when he heard Mika walk into the room.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Nothing." He said trying to hide the pictures from her.
"What are those?" She asked as she walked over and grabbed one. "What is this?"
"I honestly don't know." Ted replied. "This package came and I decided to open it. I found these inside. I didn't want to show them to you."
"That sick mother fucker." She said. Ted pulled a note out of the bottom of the box. He read it and anger flared in his blue eyes. "Why would he..." she looked up at him."Teddy?" He looked at her, the paper in his hand crumbled and his eyes softened instantly.
"What does that note say?" She asked trying to get from him.
"I really don't think you should read it."
"I don't care." She grabbed it and read it.
"Don't worry." He said hugging her. "We will deal with him."
She nodded but could fill the tears. Matt had done so much more to Allie than she realized. But it made her more determined to stop him and make him pay.
