Three days had passed. AJ and Randy were still waiting for the verdict. It was Sunday. AJ and Randy were moving his things back into the house. Jack was staying at Katie's. AJ was carrying in one of the boxes. She took it upstairs to the bedroom. Randy was putting his clothes in the closet.
"Jesus honey how much stuff did you buy after we divorced?" AJ said.
"Not that much stuff."
"You didn't have half of this when we were together last time." "I think you have more clothes then me now."
"Ha ha."
"Where do you want this box?"
"I think that has my sports jackets in it." "Give it here." "I'll hang them up." She handed him the box. He opened it and started hanging them in the closet.
"I'm glad you moved back in."
"Me to."
"I'm starting to get nervous."
"About us?"
"No I'm completely comfortable was with us." "I'm nervous about the trial."
"Why?"
"Well it's been three days."
"Yeah."
"If it's been this long maybe that means they can't make a decision."
"Or maybe it means they're just really thinking about it."
"The bastard's gonna get away with it."
"No he's not." Randy finished in the cloest and went over to AJ.
"Let's not talk about him." He said wrapping his arms around her.
"What do you wanna talk about?"
"Us." "Is there anything I can do to put your mind at ease?" He kissed her.
"We can't."
"Why not I know it would relax us both."
"We have to unpack the rest of your stuff."
"We can do that later." "I love you." They kissed.
"I love you too." She mumbled against his lips. They laid back on the bed. Randy's cell phone started to ring. AJ broke the kiss. "You should get that."
"Let's let it ring."
"What if it's your realtor?" "I'll be right here when you get back."
"Ok." He got up to answer his phone. "Hello?" "Yeah." "Ok, bye." He hung up and turned back to AJ.
"Who was it?"
"The bailiff the jury reached a decision and court starts at nine in the room."
"Oh boy." "I guess tomorrow we'll know."
The next day AJ was getting ready. She was nervous. Randy came into the bedroom.
"Honey are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"You look pale."
"I'm just nervous."
"There's nothing to be nervous about." "Either way after today he's gone forever." Ok?"
"Ok."
When they got to the courthouse they took their seats. John came in. Ten minutes later the jury came in. Five minutes later the judge came in.
Has the jury reached a verdict?" The judge asked.
"We have your honor." The jury foreman said.
"In the charge of attempted murder, how do you find?"
"We find the defendant, guilty."
"In the charge of kidnapping, how do you find?"
"We find the defendant, guilty."
"In the charge of rape, how do you find?"
"We find the defendant, guilty."
"Mr. Cena please stand." He stood up. "For all of your crimes I hereby sentence you to forty-five years in prison." "Court is adjourned." The judge left.
They started to take John away. He looked at AJ.
"I'll never be sorry." He said. "I love you." "I'll never be sorry."
AJ and Randy were on the courthouse steps. They hugged.
"It's over." Randy said. "We can finally move on with our lives."
Three weeks later AJ came home. Jack was staying at a friend's house.
"Honey I'm home." AJ said.
"I'm upstairs." She went upstairs to the bedroom. Candles were lit all over the place. Randay was dressed in nice clothes.
"What are you all dressed up for?"
"You." He kissed her. "I want to ask you something." He started to get down on one knee.
"Yes."
"Can I at least ask you first?" He said laughing a little.
"Yeah." He took the ring out of his pocket.
"We've started over." "I want to start over again, as husband and wife." "AJ, will you marry me?"
"Yes." He put the ring on her finger and stood up. They kissed.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
I'm sorry for the delay. My tower to my computer broke and I just got a new today. I hope you enjoyed the story. I'll be doing "The Battle Of The Bellas Two" next.
