Ted
"No!" I heard the panic in Tori's voice. "Stop!" She cried.
Waking up, I saw that she was having a nightmare. I gently tried to wake her, not being able to see her like this.
"Tor..." I gently shook her.
"Give it back!" She tossed and turned, pushing me away.
"Tor...wake up..." I whispered, running my hands through her hair.
"Please!" She begged.
"Come on princess..." I shook her. "...wake up."
She finally woke up with a jolt, breathing heavy as she looked around the room.
Tori
"Give that to me!" Justin yelled, trying to pull the ring Ted gave me off my finger.
"No!" I cried, trying to resist him.
"Give it!" He hissed, pulling it off and holding it above my head.
"Give it back!" I cried, trying to reach for it.
"No! You're mine now." Justin smirked, walking to the trash and throwing my ring away.
"Please!" I begged, trying to take it out of the trash.
"I don't think so." Justin sneered as he pushed me across the room, me falling on my hands and knees.
"No!" I screamed, moving back away from him. Just as he was right in front of me, I heard something.
"Come on princess."
"Ted!" I called. I followed the sound of his voice and finally came out of my nightmare.
Jolting up in bed, I placed my hand on my chest as I was trying to catch my breath. I could feel the sweat dripping from my face as I looked around, trying to place where I was.
"Tor..." I heard Ted's voice.
"Ted!" I turned, seeing him and falling into his arms.
"I got you." He held me close, running his fingers through my hair. "It was just a bad dream." He tried to sooth me.
"It was horrible." I sobbed into his chest. "It felt so real."
"Shhhh..." He cooed. "...I got you." He kept running his fingers through my hair and over my shoulders.
"But..." I bit my lip. "...the dream..." My lip started to quiver. "...actually happened."
"What happened?" He looked down at me.
"Well..." I took a deep breath as I looked up at him. "...my ring..." I started to cry. "...he...he took it." I cried harder now.
"Tor...he may have taken that but, that does not mean he took my love for you away." He holds me close to him, trying his best to comfort me.
"I know..." I start to calm down. "...it just meant so much to me just having that ring. It was like you were there when you weren't."
"It's going to be alright. I'll get you another one." He kissed the top of my head.
"Really?" I sniffed as I looked up at him through tear filled eyes.
"Anything for my princess." He smiled at me. Seeing that smile made me feel so much better. Looking into those caring and loving eyes made me forget all about what happened. I was so happy to be back with Ted and safe, not having to worry about doing the wrong thing and being taught a lesson for it. I kept my eyes locked on his until there was a knock at the door,. Jumping, I moved closer to him.
"You guys awake?" We heard Chris on the other side of the door.
"Yeah." Ted called.
I wiped my tears away, sitting up and trying to compose myself.
"What's up?" I asked Chris as he walked into the room.
"I have to leave in a few hours but, there are a few people here who would like to see you?"
"Really?" I looked puzzled. "Who?"
"Come down and see silly." He laughed.
"Alright." I sighed. "Let me get cleaned up and we'll be down." I said, looking back at Ted.
Chris then left the room and I went to move off the bed, Ted pulling me back to him.
"I love you." He gave me a soft kiss.
"I love you too." I smiled as I pulled from his lips.
He then let me go as I got up from the bed and headed into the bathroom. I walked over to the sink and began to wash my face before I brushed my teeth. I walked out, seeing Ted up and stretching. I bit my lip, missing that sight in the morning. I walked over to the dresser and looked through it, pulling out a light blue summer dress. I walked back into the bathroom, taking off my shirt from last night as Ted walked in.
"Beautiful." He said as he looked at me through the mirror.
"Lover." I giggled as I looked back at him.
Taking my eyes off him, I looked down to see slight bruising on my ribs and right shoulder. I bit my lip as I ran my hands over the bruising, Ted noticing and walking over to me, hands on my waist.
"That's not happening anymore." He looked into my eyes through the mirror and I could hear the anger in his voice.
Nodding my head, I turned to face him, cupping his face in my hands and pulling him into a deep and passionate kiss. He kept one hand on my waist as the other moved to the small of my back, pulling me closer to him. He kissed back with just as much passion and as much and I didn't want to, I started to pull away.
"We have people waiting." I said, trying to catch my breath.
"We better get ready then." He brushed his lips over mine.
I turned in his arms, reaching over for my dress. I slipped it over my head, pulling it down and smoothing it out. I grabbed my brush and I started to brush all the knots out of my head. Since I didn't have any makeup, I left my face plain.
"I love you without makeup." Ted grinned.
"You always say that." I blush, trying to hide my face.
"No hiding." He lifted my chin. "I never want to miss that face again."
"Teeed." I whined, blushing more.
"It's the truth." He kissed me softly.
"I love you so much." I sighed in content.
"I love you too." He pulled me into a hug. "Now...let's go see everyone."
I turned, taking one last look in the mirror before we left the bathroom and headed out of the bedroom. We made our way downstairs and through the house out to the backyard where everyone was gathered.
"V!" I heard as I was rushed and pulled into a group hug.
"Well hello." I laughed as the girls hugged me.
After pulling away I saw not only was Nattie here, but Bella, Alex, Cody, Mike, and Alyssa where all here too.
"When?" I looked at them all shocked.
"This morning. We couldn't wait to see you."
"Let me guess..." I turned to Ted. "...this was all your doing?"
"Mayyybeee." He grinned a cheesy smile.
"How?"
"Oh you know...family jet."
"I should've known." I shook my head with laugh.
We made our way out to where they guys where and I was greeted with a hug from each of them. We all walked over to the table, taking a seat and talking about everything that has been going on and what I was made to do.
"I don't know what I'm going to do when I go back." I chewed my lip.
"We'll think of something."
"I don't know...he has me in way to deep...I don't know how to get out of it."
"Whatever it is, we got you girl." Bella assured.
"I just have to figure out how to get myself away from that damn group...he tricked me and now I'm apart of it."
"You won't be for long."
"Oh? Do tell?"
"I've got a plan and at Smackdown, we're going to put it into affect."
I look over at Ted confused as he looks around to all the other people. Sitting there, I get impatient and start to fidget in my seat.
"I'll be right back." Ted say, kissing my cheek and getting up and heading into the house.
"What is he up to?" I ask, looking puzzled.
"No clue." Nattie shrugs with a grin.
I look over at her, not convinced as Ted walks back out of the house.
"Tor?" Ted calls, motioning me over to him. I get up and walk to him, him leading me down by the pool. I look over at everyone to see they are intently looking over at us. Not knowing what is going on, Ted stops my by the edge of the pool, turning me to face him.
"Close your eyes." He smiles.
"Are you going to throw me in?" I laugh, suspicious of him right now.
"Never." He shakes his head. "Trust me." He whispers. Trusting him with my life, I close my eyes and wait for him to tell me what to do.
"Okay...open them." He says.
I open my eyes to see Ted on one knee holding open a box with a ring inside. I gasp and bring my hands to my mouth in disbelief of what I am seeing.
"Viktoriya Michelle Anderson..." He starts as tears fill my eyes. "...I have loved you ever since we were kids. I have never felt this way about anyone else in my life. You are the love of my life and I would be honored if you would spend the rest of your life with me, as my wife."
"Ted..." I start to cry, thinking this is all dream.
"Will you marry me?" He takes the ring out of the box and holds it up to me.
"Oh Ted..." I try to catch my breath. "...I would love you!" I smile as he slips the gorgeous four carat princess cut diamond ring on my finger. He stands up and pulls me close to him, pressing his lips to mine. His hands go around my waist as mine go around his neck as the kiss starts to heat up. Before things go to far, we pull away to hear cheering from everyone up on the patio.
"Woooooo!"
"Yeah!"
Ted and I look back at each other and laugh as everyone continues to cheer. I pull away from Ted, admiring the ring he got me.
"You didn't have to go this big."
"Only the best for my princess."
"You always say that." I smile, blushing hard.
"I'll continue to say it until the end of time." He leans down, giving me a quick kiss before we are interrupted.
"V!" The girls call as they rush over.
"Let me see!" Nattie says as they reach me.
I smile big as Ted steps aside while the girls look at the ring and gush over it. I look at Ted, giving him a look of 'this is going to be awhile' letting him know he can do with the guys.
"That is huge girl!" Alyssa says once Ted walks away.
"I told him he didn't have too."
"For you, he would." Bella laughs.
"He always does." I smile big, not being able to stop.
"Everyone is going to be so jealous of you. I think this is the biggest ring anyone has."
"Let them be." I smirk. "I'm finally happy and nothing is going to change that." I glance at Ted and smile.
We all stand there talking for a bit before we go over and join the guys. They each take a turn looking at my ring, giving Ted a look since they now have to top that somehow. I got to sit next to Ted but, he pulls me down on his lap. I let out a giggle as I lean back into him, staring at my ring.
"Like my plan?" Ted whispers in my ear as I feel him grin.
"I love it." I turn my head to him, placing my hand on his cheek, giving him a kiss.
I turn my attention back to everyone and we sit there and talk for a bit. Chris had food ordered and once that arrived, we all got what we wanted and sat back down to eat. We had a few drinks to celebrate, having a good time.
"I think I'm going to go swim." I say as I start to stand. "You girls in?" I ask.
"Of course!" They say.
We then head inside and upstairs to change into our swimsuits. I go through and take out one of Ted's favorites, my pink and black camo bathing suit. I pull my hair to the side in a braid and grab a towel. We all head downstairs and back out to the pool. As we walk out, they guys fall silent. We giggle as we walk past them, knowing exactly why they stopped talking. We walk to the pool and set out towels down before we slowly get into the pool. It was another hot and humid day here in Tampa and the water felt so good. Wading in the water, we just talked and kept looking over at the guys who were looking at us.
"How long until the come in?" Bella laughed.
"I'd say not long." Alyssa giggled.
"Ted has that look..." I start to say. "...and there he goes." I laugh as he gets up and starts to head for the pool.
"You better run girl!" Nattie laughs.
Before I knew it, Ted had his shirt off and was in the pool. I squeal and try to swim to the other side of the pool. I was just about to lift myself out of the pool, when I felt hands on my waist.
"Nope." Ted pulled me back down and to him. "...mine." He wrapped his arms around me.
"Yours." I laid my head on his shoulder.
Hearing a loud splash behind us, Ted turned us around to see that Mike, Alex and now Tyson, who just showed up, were in the pool. I watched as all the girls tried to scatter, only to be caught.
"Alone once again." Ted whispered in my ear, as I turned to face him, wrapping my legs around him.
"So we are." I smirked, moving my hands to his hair, running my fingers through his wet hair.
Ted moved until my back hit the side of the pool. I arched my back so I was closer to him, pressing my lips to him. His one hand stayed on my waist while the other slowly moved up and down my thigh. I muffled a moan into the kiss, him smirking. The more he moved up my thigh, the harder I started to kiss him. I pulled him as close to me as he could get as I was getting more and more eager the more his hand moved.
"...not...here..." I mumbled against his lips.
"...say no...more..." He smirked, pulling from my lips.
He then moved so I was able to swim off him and we made our way out of the pool.
"We'll be back." I said to everyone as we headed back to the house.
I could hear everyone go 'oooohhhh' as we hurriedly made our way in the house and upstairs.
Once in the room, Ted closed the door and I pushed him against it, pressing my lips back to his. His hands went to my waist, lifting me up so I wrapped my legs around his waist. He walked over to the bed, not breaking the kiss once. He laid me down gently, lips still pressed to mine. His hands moved to the back of my top, untying it and taking it off. He moved from my lips and started to trail kisses from my jaw to my neck. I loved his gentle kisses all over my skin. It was the best feeling in the world. I never wanted him to stop. He slowly started to nip at the skin on my neck as I bit my lip in pleasure. He continued to do so on the other side of my neck as I started to let out a few moans of pleasure. I moved my hands from his hair to his shoulders, gripping them tightly, digging my nails into his skin. I felt him tense as I did that and a smirk came to my lips. He made his way down to my breasts and I arched my back into him. I started to run my nails over the skin on his shoulders, getting a growl out of him. Picking up the torture, I kept doing that until he took my hands in his, lacing our fingers together. Loving every moment of this, I closed my eyes as I bit my lip. Ted moved from my breasts to my stomach, moving his hands from mine and running them down my sides. As he kissed my stomach, his hands went to my bottoms and he started to pull them off.
"...Ted." I groaned, not being able to take much more.
Feeling him smirk against my skin, he slowly made his way back to my lips. He then took off his bottoms and slowly put himself inside me. I moaned at the pleasure of him being inside me and wrapped my arms around his neck. He started to go slow at first until I started to pick up the pace. Soon he was going fast but, very passionately. It's been so long since I've been with him, I couldn't wait any longer. I tried to hold out for as long as I could but, I couldn't take it. I moaned in pleasure as I hit my climax, screaming his name. He kept going for a bit longer, giving me more pleasure then he ever has before he reached his climax. He started to slow down before he stopped and laid in the bed next me, arm draped over my stomach.
"...amazing..." I said breathless, still coming down from my high.
"...I missed you..." He said, trying to catch his breath.
"Now we have forever to be together." I grinned, bringing my hand up and showing off my ring.
"Forever." He repeated, giving me a quick kiss.
We both laid there for a bit, catching our breath holding each other close. Once we were all calmed back down, we got up and got dressed again and headed back to join everyone outside.
"Oohh lala." Bella teased.
"Oh stop." I blushed as Ted and I walked back over to the pool.
I sat there, staring down at my ring, still in shock that this was all actually happening.
"Bella?" I asked.
"What's up?"
"Can I use your phone?"
"Oh Tor." Ted said, pulling something out of his pocket.
"My phone?"
"You left it."
"Thank you. I thought he took it." I breathed a sigh of relief.
I took my phone, looking through all of the messages that I missed. Waiting to talk to everyone later, I opened up the camera on my phone. Holding my hand out, I took a picture of my ring and posted it to Twitter.
"I said yes!"
Was all I said along with the picture of my ring. Smiling to myself, I close my phone and lean back against Ted and enjoy the rest of the night with our friends.
