The next morning Mallory woke up and saw that John was sleeping peacefully. She knew that she needed to get up and headed to her office to change into some clean clothes. She got out of bed and started to put her clothes back on.
"Are you leaving?" John asked her.
"I have to change into some clean clothes." She replied. "I'm not leaving permanently."
"I know." He replied but a part of him thought that she was.
"John, I'm supposed to be the insecure one in this relationship." She said with a smile. "You have been trying to get me into bed for weeks now. Now you have."
"I know I have but I can't stop thinking about how I might never wrestle again. I keep wondering what I have to offer you."
"John, I believe that you will wrestle again although I can't promise you that you will. But if you never wrestle again, it makes no difference to me. I didn't fall in love with John Cena, WWE superstar. I fell in love with John Cena, the man."
She walked over to the bed and sat down on it. "You don't have to worry about what you have to offer me. Just us being together is enough for me."
"How did I get so lucky to find someone like you?"
"Just destiny." She kissed him and got up. "Now, I need to change and get things ready for your first wrestling therapy."
She left the room and headed to her office. Once there she showered and changed her clothes. She then headed to the therapy room to get things ready. She hoped she wasn't rushing John. She believed he was ready for this but she was going to watch him closely.
"Hey, girl, have a fun night." Kinley asked her as she walked into the therapy room.
"It was fine." Mallory replied. She wasn't one to really give out details about her private life.
"Really? You didn't finally sleep with John and I mean have sex with him."
"Kinley, you have known me for a long time. Do you think I would give out that detail?"
"No, you wouldn't. But I know you did have sex with him."
"How would you know that?" Mallory didn't have any idea how she could know that.
"I happen to walk by the room and looked in." Kinley replied with a smile. "I saw you. I had no idea you liked it on top."
"You watched?" Mallory was shocked that she would.
"I didn't watch. I just wanted to know what was going on. So, I took a quick look and saw you having sex."
"Okay, Kinley, please don't do that again and secondly, I would like my private life to stay that way."
"Relax Mal. I won't tell anyone that I saw you having what sounded like some great sex."
"Okay, this is a weird conversation." Mallory quickly left her in the therapy and headed out.
She walked into the speech therapy room and wasn't really shocked to see Jennie there.
"What?" Mallory asked her.
"I just wanted to know how the sex was." Jennie replied. "Because from I saw and heard it must have been good."
"You watched too." Mallory couldn't believe her friends would watch her. It made her very uncomfortable.
"Not on purpose, well not at first." Jennie replied. "Mal, I just went in the room to check on you. I knew you were conflicted about things."
"So, you thought that you would watch me having sex?"
"I hadn't planned on it. I didn't' know you were having it until I walked in. I didn't want to interrupt you and then it was like I couldn't look away."
"This is so wrong." Mallory replied before sitting down. "Do you know how disturbing it is to know you and Kinley saw me having sex?"
"Believe me, it was weird to me too. I never pictured you as the be on top and in control kind. You seem more like the missionary position type."
"Okay, one) you know nothing about me like that. 2) With everything that John has gone through recently, it was safer for me to be on top and 3) the type of personality I have or how I am as a person has nothing to do with how I like sex."
"Really? So you like it on top?"
"Not going to talk you about this." Mallory quickly left the room.
Matt Korklan arrived at the hospital and headed in. He was shocked that John's therapist called him about helping John. He hoped he could help John. He hated what happen to John.
"Can I help you?" The receptionist asked him.
"I'm here to see John Cena." Matt said to her.
"He is in room 5263."
Matt headed that way and soon arrived at the room. He knocked and walked in when John said come in.
"Hey, man, how are you?" Matt said as he walked in.
"I'm good." John replied to him.
"You look great." Matt sat down in the chair near the bed.
"Thanks. I'm really happy despite things."
"So, why are you so happy?"
"Because I'm in love. I fell in love with my therapist."
"Really, that's great."
"Yeah and last night we took things to the next level. It was amazing. Now, I'm ready to wrestle again and start my life with Mallory."
"That's great John. I hope I can help you."
"Mal seems to think so."
"I hope so." He said just as Mallory walked in.
"Well, this must be Matt." She said walking over. "Mallory Gilmore."
"Matt Korklan." He replied.
"Nice to meet you. So, let's get started." She said.
They all headed to the therapy room to start. Mallory wasn't sure exactly what to do with this but she hoped what she had in mind would work. Once they were in the room, she told Matt and John to get on the mat.
"Okay, I think we will start with just some basic moves. Show me what you would learn on the first day at a training academy." She said to them.
She watched as they did some basic moves. She saw that she was right about Matt being the right person. He made sure each move was done slowly and cautiously. She watched John react to each one with such determination. She let them work on the basic moves for two hours. She didn't want to do more because she didn't want to overdo it.
"Okay, that's enough for today. I think we will build on this each time. I think we should do this starting out two times a week. I don't want to overdo things."
"Sounds good." Matt said.
Once the session was over and Matt had left, Mallory headed to John's to talk to him. She knew that he wasn't happy that she said they would only work two days a week on the wrestling.
"So, let me have it." She said walking in.
"Let you have what?" He asked.
"The anger you have that I said that we would only work two days a week on the wrestling."
"Mal, I want to wrestle again. I think I need more than two days a week."
"John, this is just starting out. We will increase the sessions as the weeks go on. We just don't want to rush things." She said sitting down on the bed with him.
"You never want to rush anything."
"I know that. John, with a stroke and everything that comes with it, you have to take the time. If you rush things, it causes more damage. I'm just being cautious."
"I know that."He sighed. "I just want my life back. I want to wrestle again. I want to make my life with you."
"I know that. It will happen. We are making a life together right now. We are building a foundation. Something to last. That is what you want right?" She took his hand in hers.
"Yes. I want that."
"Okay, then trust me to know what I'm doing." She leaned in and kissed him. She felt things began to get passionate. "Wait, we can't do this right now. Someone will walk in and after last night, I don't want anyone to know anything."
"Last night?"
"Yeah, apparently my friends, Jennie and Kinley thought it was appropriate to watch us last night and I don't want my private life all over the hospital."
"I get that. Why would they watch us?"
"They came to see if everything was okay and then they ended up watching us. They said just for a minute."
"Okay, I understand. We won't do this right now."
"Exactly. You get out of here in a day and then you come and stay with me. I think you can hold off that long."
"What if I can't?" He said with a smile.
"Then we will have to make a deal." She kissed him again. "Now, I have to finish some paperwork. I will be back."
She kissed him again and walked out. She had some paperwork to fill out about the session and then fax some things to her friend in New York. They were working jointly to come up with this therapy. After she had, she headed back to John's room. When she walked in, she saw that he was sleeping. She smiled and then laid down beside him and was soon asleep herself.
