Chapter 46
Corinne awoke to soft kisses on her face. "Corinne?" He said. She sighed in her sleep and cuddled up the hard warmth next to heron the bed.
"Matt..." She whispered.
"I'm here baby." He said smiling to himself. She probably had no idea that he had been up all day and had already gone to the store to buy some things. She looked adorable; her curly hair tumbled around her face and completely wrapped in blankets.
"God, if this is a dream, I never...ever...want to wake up again."
"How about we just stay in this bed forever then?" He said in her ear.
"Okay," She sighed then cuddled even closer to him.
"But you know we're going to have to talk about everything. Sooner or later." He said seriously.
"I know," she sighed and opened one eye to find him showered and shaved and dressed in new clothes.
"When did you..."
"You've been sleeping all day. I guess you were having trouble sleeping too huh?" He said.
"Yes...but now that you're here..." She paused when he placed a finger over her lips.
"I can tell you what truly happened that night." He finished solemnly.
"What did happen that night?" She said hesitatingly, "Everything was supposed to be perfect and then I saw you two...together.
"No...I went to Jeff's because Amy called me on her phone and said she had a problem. She was crying and even though I knew that she would make another attempt to get me back I went because she was my friend. I never kissed her either, she grabbed me. And I'm assuming that was all you saw?" Matt said.
"Yes...that was it."
"I finally pulled away from her and I told her that I loved you. And then she told me that you wanted to be with Jeff..."
"Jeff? Matt no! I've never wanted to be with Jeff, you're the only one I've ever wanted to be with I swear..."
He kissed her softly to stop her. "I know. I just...I was jealous and afraid and when I walked in the house all I saw were you guys hugging and I made my own conclusions..."
"The door..."she recalled.
"The door." He affirmed.
"And I guess this whole time I was just scared to try and find out why you would have gone to Jeff. I was scared..."
"I...Matt why? Had you just told me.... had you even called once, I think I would have forgiven you. I missed you so much. And all I could think of was the fact that you chose her over me."
"No." He said vehemently.
"I would never have chosen her over you. You're the most important thing in my life. These past few months have been horrible. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat...and worst of all I couldn't wrestle. I was a complete prick to everyone, I think I broke Rob's nose yesterday not to mention that a lot of the other guys didn't want to wrestle me cause I was too stiff." Matt said.
"Really...but wrestling is your life...it's the most important thing...it's your dream." She said fervently.
"You're right...it was my dream. But you're my life. You're everything to me and nothing is worth anything without you. Corinne, will you marry me?" He said taking out his most important purchase of the day, a 2.5-karat diamond ring.
"Oh my god..." she whispered. Matt looked into her eyes and she knew she could never live without him.
"Yes!" She yelled out before launching herself onto him and kissing him deeply.
