"Test, Oh my god!" Morgan looked at him, one eye was already turning black and blue, his lip was swollen and his nose was bleeding.

She ran to get a wet washcloth and gently wiped the blood from his face.

"Test, what happened? Didn't you tell them the truth?" Morgan's voice was still trembling.

"No Morgan I didn't tell them the truth."

Just then the trainer walked in with Tommy.

Morgan was still kneeling at Test's side. She looked up at Tommy "I trust you explained what happened?"

"Yes Morgan I did. All the guys are really sorry Test." Tommy said

"It's ok Dreamer, I understand. No hard feelings."

Morgan and the trainer helped Test up to sit on the bench. The trainer looked him over and gave him an ice pack for his eye and lip.

"Well Test nothing's broken, your are going to be sore as hell though. No match for you tonight. I want you to go back to the hotel, keep ice on that face and take it easy."

He left Test and Morgan alone in the dressing room.

"Come on Test, I'll drive you back to the hotel ok?" Morgan extended her hand and he took it.

She slipped her arm around his waist and helped him out.

They drove in silence to the hotel. She helped him to his room. He sat down on the bed and Morgan stood in front of him her hands on her hips.

"Now would you care to tell me why you didn't tell the guys the truth yourself?" She was mad at him and he knew it. It was time to come clean.

"Morgan I'd rather take a thousand beatings than hurt or embarrasses you."

"Test have you lost your mind?" She asked incredulously

He took a deep breath. It was now or never. "Yeah love tends to do that to you." Morgan stared at him she didn't get it.

"Morgan, come over here and sit down. I need to tell you something." She sat and he turned toward her taking her hand in his. "Remember the other night in the elevator I told you my heart belonged to someone else? Don't you know who I was talking about?"

"No Test I don't. And what does that have to do with what happened tonight?"

He sighed, she was going to make him say it straight out.

"Morgan, I was talking about you. I have been in love with you since the first night Shane introduced us."

Morgan was stunned. And thrilled. She could hardly believe what she was hearing.

"Then why did you push me away last night?" She asked.

"Because I love you. I didn't want our first time together to be like that. You were drunk and you probably wouldn't have remembered it anyway. I can't be just a casual fuck with you. My heart is involved and I couldn't do that to you or me."

Morgan just stared at him.

"I can see that you don't feel the same about me Morgan. It's ok. I understand." He turned away from her

She put her hand on his shoulder. "Test, look at me, please..." when he turned back to her she could see the tears falling from his eyes. She gently took his face in her hands and softly kissed the corner of his mouth that wasn't swollen. They were both crying now.

"Test, I do love you. I have as long as I can remember."

"Do you mean it Morgan?" He asked

"Yes Test I do. I love you." He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her to him, never noticing the pain in his body.
