Chapter 2

Marie was driving back to the hotel...She had to see John...there was no two ways about it...she HAD to see him...and NOW.

As she got to the hotel…She ran up the stairs because she had no desire to wait for the elevator. Marie was standing in front of his hotel door...Kind of like de jas vu from a week ago...She checked her watch...damn it, it was mid-night again. She figured what the hell and knocked.

John was just about to fall asleep, when someone knocked on the door...He was definitely gonna kill who ever it was this time...he was tired and wanted to do nothing but sleep...but knew if he didn't answer the door and threaten someone, they'd keep knocking. He sat up and pulled his track pants on again and pulled a t-shirt on too.

John opened the door and when he saw who it was he smiled and said, "Twice in two weeks...What the hell?" Marie chewed her bottom lip as she walked in and John closed the door and she turned to face him and said, "I kissed Randy tonight." John said, "So...You're not mine...you can do whatever you want."

Marie said, "But that's just it John...I am yours. I have been since the first time I met you...I kissed Randy tonight to make sure whatever feelings I had for him in the past...were just that...in the past...I felt like I was kissing my little brother or something...I don't get the same feeling inside of me when I kiss him, that I get when I kiss you."

John said, "This is insane Marie...We shouldn't even be having this conversation. I said everything I had to say at the arena." Marie said, "Good for you because I haven't...Because you said something to me tonight that got my attention...you said you weren't good enough for me right?" John said, "C'mon Marie." Marie said, "Answer the damn question John...Did you or did you not say that to me?" John said, "Yea, but..."

Before John could finish Marie walked over and captured his lips...John couldn't move, he wrapped his arms around her waist as her arms came up and around his shoulders and neck. He nearly came unglued when her tongue slid into his mouth as it caressed his tongue and the space in his mouth.

When Marie pulled away she looked in John's beautiful blue eyes and said, "Tell me right now you don't want to be with me...Tell me you don't love me and I'll leave."

John's chest was moving in and out as he was breathing brushing against Marie's chest...He rested his forehead against hers and said, "You already know I can't say that to you...Why are you doing this to me?"

Marie said, "Because you said I needed more then someone who wore jeans and jersey's every day...But guess what...I don't care if you wear jeans and jerseys every day, hell I don't even care if you wanted to be buried in them when you die...you can wear them to bed for all I care...The clothes don't make you who you are John...you do...I'm not in love with your clothes, or you're hair, or you're God damn ring persona...I'm in love with you...And I'm not giving you up for anything...NOTHING!"

John watched as Marie turned and walked into the bedroom...
