1A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews and thanks for them. I am sorry that this chapter has taken longer to get to the reader; my computer is broke so when I can get to one I am going update. I am hoping to get it back this weekend. Enjoy!
Iris POV
I walked into the lobby to find John. He was sitting in one of the chairs in the corner. I walked over to him. He was talking to his cell phone. I tapped him on the shoulder. He looked at me and hung up the phone.
"That was a bit rude." I told him. He shrugged.
"Come on. I know where we are going." he said.
We left and went to a café about 10 minutes away from the hotel. We were seated immediately. We ordered and still hadn't said anything since we left the hotel. The food came and we ate. I was just sitting there looking out the window.
"Iris, I need to talk to you." he finally said.
"Isn't that why I am here?" I asked him. I was a little irritated that he was just now talking to me.
"Yeah, I just wanted to clear up a few things and discuss us." he said.
"Us? John, there is no us. There is you and me. We are not together anymore." I told him.
"Fine, but we still need to talk about what happened." he said.
"I know what happened. You cheated on me and then told me that I cheated on you with your best friend." I told him. He sighed.
"I'll admit, I was upset when you cheated on me, but you pissed me off when you accused me and Randy of sleeping around. Ok, I can understand Dave, but Randy? He was your best friend and he was helping you." I told John.
"Look, I know I fucked up ok. I just wanted to tell you that I am sorry. I know that I hurt you and I know that you deserve better, ok? I am sorry that I hit you as well. I just wanted to know that is there was ever going to be a time that we could get back together" he told me. I nodded.
"Alright, I accept, but I can't see getting back with you any where in the near future. I want to be friends, if that is ok with you. John, I just can't see us being together for a long, very long time." I told him.
"Alright, I understand that, but Iris know that I love you." he said.
"I know it." I said and looked at my watch.
"Don't you need to be getting back to see Candice since you have a signing later today?" I asked him.
"I do have a signing, but I am not with her anymore. She was too annoying. I don't know what I ever saw in her." he told me.
"I do." I told him. He looked at me.
"Open legs and an easy fuck." I told him.
"Fair enough. Oh, Mom, Dad, & my brothers all wanted me to thank you for the gifts and hi. I wanted to thank you as well for mine." he said.
"Welcome. I already had them, so I just sent them to you." I told him.
"I got you a lot of things. I had the hotel people put them in your room while we have been eating. I didn't have an address to send them to." he told me.
"Well, thank you, but I need to go." I told him. I was ready to go. I had the answers I wanted and didn't feel like being around him anymore.
"Alright, come on." he said. He paid and we left.
We arrived back at the hotel. We rode the elevator back and he walked me to my room.
"Thanks for lunch and have fun tonight." I told him.
"Iris, I am sorry." he said.
"I know, John. I gave you everything and you didn't return it. I just had to leave." I told him.
"I know and baby, I am sorry. I gave you everything, but I just didn't think a few times." he told me.
"Yeah, well, John, you didn't give me everything. I need to work on some stuff." I told him. I started to leave. He grabbed my wrist and turned me around. I had the door cracked open and hope Dave was in there.
"John, let me go." I said quietly.
"Baby, I don't want to." he said with tears in his eyes. I saw Randy walked towards us.
"John, we are friends. Now, let me go." I told him. He didn't budge. Randy was behind him.
"Let her go." Randy said. John looked at him. I knew he didn't like Randy anymore.
"This is not your business." John told him.
"Let her go." Randy said again. I was hoping that no one else was going to come out of their room.
"You are not dating her and I am just talking to her. Go away, Randy." John said. He was tightening his grip on my wrist.
I looked at the door and Dave was standing in the doorway.
"John, let her go." Dave said.
"Stay out of it! You both are not dating her and I am just talking to her." he told them.
"LET HER GO!" Dave growled back.
John glared at me and let go of my wrist.
"We will finish this talk later." he told me and walked off.
"Are you ok?" Randy asked me.
"Yeah, thanks." I told him and gave him a hug.
"Alright, I will see you two tonight." he told us and left.
I walked into my room where Dave had been. He pulled me into a gentle kiss and I just hugged him.
"Are you ok?" he asked me. I sighed. He looked at my wrist; it was red from John's grip. He kissed it and kissed my forehead.
"Why do you have presents in here?" he asked me.
"They are from John. He didn't know where to send them to me for Christmas." I told him.
I walked in the room and saw at least 20 presents just sitting there. I sighed.
"Are you going to open them?" he asked me.
"Yeah." I said. I grabbed the first one that had a card on it. I opened the card and read it.
Merry Christmas, baby. I am sorry I didn't know where to send these. I hope you enjoy them; I already had them before we broke up. Open this box last and remember: It is all for YOU! I will always love you. John.
Dave and I started to open the presents. He had gotten me hats, jerseys, shoes, movies, and lingerie. I came to the last box and opened it. It box contained 4 smaller boxes. They were number in the order to open them.
The first box contained a sliver bracelet with me and John's birth stones in the it. I looked at it. The inside of the bracelet had Always & Forever inscribed into it.
The second box was a necklace. The necklace was white gold with a sapphire hanging from the chain.
The third box was a ring. The ring was a white gold band with emeralds in it. The inside of the ring had Love U-JC inscribed on the inside of it.
The last box was my engagement ring in it. The ring had been cleaned and I remember what was inscribed on it. My Angel. I sighed and looked at Dave.
"Come on. Let's lay down." he said.
"If you don't mind I think I want to walk around." I told him.
"Alright, just take your phone and be careful. I am going to go talk to Paul." he told me. I gave him a blank kiss and walked out.
I was walked downstairs and saw Adam, Y2J, Eddie, Carlito, and Glen (Kane)sitting around talking. I sat near them because I had paper work to do that was in my purse.
I was doing my paper work and could hear most of their conversation. They didn't notice me there.
" I hate Paul! He needs to be taught a lesson. I don't care who he is married to." Adam said.
"He is a prick. He always gets what he wants around here." Y2J said.
"What are you going to do about it?" Eddie asked.
"We need to take him out for a while so that some of us can get title shots and more air time." Carlito said.
"Yeah, but how? I mean Stephanie is having the baby in like 2 months and he will be gone for a month then." Glen said.
"We will hurt everyone around him." Adam said.
"Who? Dave?" Glen asked.
"Dave and Randy." Eddie said.
"Yeah, and don't forget his little sister." Y2J said.
"She is hot! I would love to experience what John got to." Carlito said.
"Defiantly, oh, now that they are broken up John might help." Glen said.
"Yeah, alright, we need to keep this quiet. She is GM so we can use her for more than one reason." Eddie said.
"Alright, see ya'll later. I got that signing with John." Y2J said.
They all left and went separate ways. I just sat there. Randy, Dave, and Paul were in for it. I know those guys would seriously hurt them. I quickly gathered my paper and ran to Paul's room.
I was on my way when I got stopped. I was walking down the hall and search for my phone. I ran into something or someone and fell flat on the floor. I looked up and gasped.
