Chapter 53
They reached Jon's apartment and went inside. Karen looked around and couldn't help but smile she was a little surprised how simple it was there really wasn't much to his place. Simple and to the point she liked it. Karen followed Jon as he carried her bag to the bedroom. He put them down in front of the closest and then suddenly pulled Karen into him and kissed her wildly.
"Hello to you too." Karen said as she slowly pulled away.
His arms still wrapped around her he smiled down at her. "HI." He told her as he kissed her again.
"You smell good!" Karen laughed as she laid her head on his chest.
Jon giggle while he held her in his arms they didn't say anything for a few moments they just enjoyed being in each others embrace.
Jon looked down at her with one arm still wrapped around her waist the other hand on her face he tucked her hair behind her ear.
"I missed you."
"Awe I missed you too." She said.
"I can't wait to spend these next few days with you." He told her.
"Really?"
"Yep."
" Do you have anything special planned?" Karen asked with a smile.
"Oh yeah ..."
"Yeah like what?" Karen question still wrapped in his arms.
"A little of this ..." He began as he began nibble at her neck. "and a little of this." He told her as he kissed her lips and unzipped her Shield hoodie she was wearing. "And a lot of this."
About an hour later Karen was wrapped in Jon's arms as they laid in bed.
"Well I think I am going to like Vegas." Karen smiled.
"Vegas looks good on you." Jon teased as he looked under the sheet.
Karen couldn't help but blush.
"Oh ... the things you do to me Ambrose... you have no idea."
Jon smiled as kissed her lips softly.
"Are you hungry?"
"Starving." Karen said sitting up. "Do you want me to make us something."
"Oh no dear ... I am going to take care of you the next few days."
"Oh really? Well you are going a great job so far."
"What do you feel like?"
"I don't know ... Chinese?"
"Perfect." Jon said he got up tossed on some clothes. "I will be back." He said as he leaned over the bed and kissed her again.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"Nah ... tonight we'll stay in ... I'll grab some take out."
Karen smiled and nodded as she watched him as he grabbed his wallet and keys and left. She laid back on the bed and thought about the amazing time she was having. She felt so relaxed and comfortable.
"Oh Jon ... I love you ... I want to tell you but I don't want to run in the other direction." She told herself.
Karen got up and showered then tossed on a pair of shorts and another tank top and sat on the couch. She got out her phone and texted Terri.
"Made it safely to Vegas! Having a great time so far."
"I bet :) What have you seen so far? I want pictures!"
"LOL Can't have pictures of what I've seen so far ... "
"Naughty ... Naughty LOL! Glad you are having a good time ... relax and enjoy."
"Thanks and I will."
Karen called her brother and checked in on things at home things were going fine. Then she checked Facebook and then Twitter.
"Having a great time in Vegas with my Bae! He's a dream come true! # love # whathappensinvegas"
Then she looked around on Facebook and updated her status there as well.
"In Las Vegas! Who says dreams can't come true."
When Jon came back in with food in hand. Karen got up and helped him with the food.
"Hmm smell good." Karen said as she looked around for plates and silverware.
"Not as good as you do." Jon said as he wrapped his arms around her. "Hmmm what is that?"
"Dove Cucumber Melon body wash." Karen laughed.
"I like it." He grinned as he nibbled her neck and the reached behind her and pulled out a couple of forks.
"You don't have much in your kitchen do you?"
"No ... I am rarely ever here."
They sat on the couch and began to eat and just make small talked.
"Thank You!" Karen said look over at Jon.
"For what I havent' done anything."
"Yes you have ... it may not seem like much but thank you for inviting me to spend time with you here in Vegas."
"Babe I just had to see you ... yeah we talk on the phone everyday and I know you've had a shitty few weeks. With all the shit going on with your dad and everything. Karen I don't know how you deal with all that. I mean ... I know I'm not there with you but I feel like you do everything for them ... for your family and what do you get out of it? You need to start taking care of yourself and well that is where I come in." He smiled as he pulled her into him and they cuddled on the couch.
"Jon I don't need anything ... I just do it because I have to. If I don't who will." Karen stated.
"I know that babe but you do everything ... you pay all the bills , you run that house. I just ... I just hate seeing you so stressed out over shit like this. It's like they don't appreciate you."
"I know it seems like that but ... I guess I just let it go on so long that I don't have a choice anymore. I mean after my dad got sick my life completely stopped."
"What do you mean?"
"I just ... I had to be home with my dad in the evenings while my mom was at work. Then I work during the day. I mean I did go to a couple of movies on the weekend but I wasn't free to come and go like I wanted. WOW that sounds really selfish... I don't mean it to sound that way ... it was just annoying."
"Baby you are far from selfish you are fucking saint ... taking care of a man who treated you like shit. I know you say you don't have a choice but you do Karen. You need to live your life ... your life with me." Jon said.
Karen smiled " You want me in your life?"
"Umm considering what we did this after noon and I plan to do with you tonight. Damn right I want you in my life ... Karen you're my girl now."
Karen bit her bottom lip and just stared into Jon's blue eyes.
"Thank you for coming into my life... you saved me in every way a person can be saved." Karen said then she started laughing.
"What?"
"Sorry ... I really did mean that but it so just sounded like I quoted the Titanic. But from the bottom of my heart Jon ... you mean the world to me. And well now I wont need to stab myself with a fork." Karen laughed.
"Again I say what the hell?" He laughed.
"I told my Aunt Maggie a few months ago that if nothing in my life changed soon I would have to stab my eyes out with a fork. Can I be honest with you?"
"Of course."
"Those days when I felt like I was slipping ... slipping into that dark I would just put in my ear bud and watch your old Moxley promos. Those words got me through some really rough days."
"Well I can't say I understand because I was just going my thing but I am glad because now you are here with me." He said as he kissed her softy.
"There's no place I'd rather be."
That night they spent a relaxed evening together watching movies and just being together. However half way through the second movie they began to make out like two high school kids. He grabbed her hand and led her in to his room.
The next morning Karen awake with Jon's arms around her.
"Thank You Lord. This isn't a dream." She said to herself as she watched Jon sleep.
She went to get out of bed when a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her back down to the bed.
"And where are you going missy?" He said with his eyes still closed.
"I was going to shower and then make you breakfast. I need to take care of my man!"
"I told you it's my job to take care of you. So please come back to bed."
"Jon it's 9 am shouldn't we get up?"
"Nope not yet ... just a few more minutes." He told her as he pulled her into him.
"Really Jon? This early in the morning." Karen blushed.
"What can I say ... I have a sexy girlfriend." He told her as he kissed her again while slowly moving his hand up her leg.
"Jon ...hmmm..w...what are you doing?"
"Taking care of my girl." He told her.
A few hours later the finally got out of bed and got ready for the day. They were in the car but Jon still wouldn't tell Karen anything about what they were doing.
"We are here."
"Where?"
"Well I am going to work out ... you my dear are having a spa day." He beamed.
"Really Jon ... you didn't have to ..."
"I told you I want to take care of you ... and to be honest it really wasn't my idea ... it was Leighla."
Karen laughed "It's that like Colby's woman?"
"Yep ... I called him ... for advice ... I have to admit babe I don't know how to do this whole boyfriend thing ... so he talked to her and they suggested this. I hope you like it."
"Awe Jon I love it." She told him as she kissed his cheek.
Karen went in and began her spa day she had honestly never done anything like this before but it was a sweet gesture. It started with a massage , then a facial and she even got a manny , peddy. She ended her time with a hair cut complete with blonde highlights in her brown hair. When Karen came out a few hours later there stood Jon.
"Wow You look amazing ... but before we start our night out on the town I think you need one more thing."
"What?"
"These." Jon said as he handed her a sack of clothes.
"Jon did you go through my bags?"
"Yeah pretty much."
Karen went in to the bathroom and changed her clothes ... she was impressed that Jon actually picked out a cute outfit ... it was her nice jeans ... black low-cut spaghetti strap shirt and her red leather jacket. Along with her black boots.
"Better?" Karen said with a smile.
"Oh yeah! So you ready for me to show you Las Vegas." He said as he took her hand.
"You mean there is more to this town than just your bed room?"
"Yep." He said with a laugh.
That night they had dinner and then ended up at a bar where they ran into some of Jon's Vegas Buddies. Jon had his arm around Karen while they were just talking and hanging out. Taking a few pictures here and there. It was just a nice evening out on the town.
"Are you having fun?"
"Yes I am having a great time." She said as she sipped from her drink.
"Good." He told her.
"One more stop before we head home." Jon told her.
"Really and where is that?" Karen said as Jon grabbed her hand and interlocked their fingers.
"You are just going to need to wait and see."
They walked a few blocks when Karen's face lit up like the fourth of July. There is was all lit up at night the Bellagio dancing fountains.
"Jon ... it's... it's beautiful." Karen said as she hurried up to the fence.
Jon smiled as he stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her pulled her into him holding her hands in his. They stood there a few minutes ... Jon couldn't help but smile watching the fountain.
"It's amazing isn't it Jon." Karen beamed.
"Yes it is." he said not even looking at the fountain but looking at Karen.
He kissed her cheek softly and whispered in her ear.
"I'm in love with you Karen."
