A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews. Happy Holidays.
Iris POV
"John, I will tell you, but not now. I will tell you when we go to your Mom's. I don't want the entire roster knowing the next day. I wanted us to have time to actually talk." I said. He nodded.
"I can deal with that. I will let you know when we are leaving. Thanks for going out with me tonight." he said and smiled.
"Thanks, John. I love the necklace and thanks for understanding." I said. He nodded. I gave him a hug and walked in. I sank down the door.
John POV
I was glad that she was going with me and that we had time to talk about us.
I hope that there is an us again. I really miss her. I thought as I walked in my room. I closed the door and turned around to see a note on the bed. I picked it up and read it.
John,
I hope that you get her.
Jeff
I ran out my room to Iris' room. I knocked on the door in a panic. She opened it quickly.
"What?" she asked me. I walked in.
"John?" she asked me. I turned to see her in a towel. I smiled, but then I remember why I was here. I handed her the note and she read it. She sighed and sat on the bed.
"Stay with me or someone." I told her.
"Call Paul." she said and went to grab some clothes.
Iris POV
I walked out in clothes. John was talking to Paul while sitting on the bed. Paul pulled me into a hug.
"I am sorry." he said.
"I will be back." John said and disappeared.
I picked up the phone and called the my old friend. I talked to him and told him what was going on. He assured me that Jeff, Matt, and Adam was still in prison.
I was telling Paul when Vince, John, and Dave all came in the room. I explained it to them.
Vince told me to take a vacation. He gave me and John the next month off.
"Come on. I already got us a flight." John said.
"Meet you in the lobby in 20 minutes." I said.
I finished packing and told everyone good bye. I met John in the lobby.
"Take care of her." Paul said.
We told everyone good bye and left. We took a limo to the airport.
John POV
We arrived at the arena. We were on time and boarded the plane right before it left. We were in first class and the plane was not very full. We took off and Iris was nervous.
I took her hand because I knew she was upset. She looked at me.
"Baby, it will be ok. I promise." I said. I moved the arm rest and pulled her over to me. She laid her head on my chest and I pulled the blanket over us. It was late and we were tired.
I woke up when the plane landed. I woke Iris up and we quickly go the rental car. I drove us to my Mom's house. We arrived at 5 am. The sun was coming up.
I took our stuff to my room and Iris went to the kitchen.
Iris POV
I went to the kitchen to grab something to drink. I walked in and was getting water when someone hit me in the back. I groaned and turned to see Matt.
"What?" I asked him.
"Iris?" he asked me as John walked in the kitchen.
"You hit her?" he asked him.
"I didn't know who it was." Matt said.
"Good thing he doesn't hit hard." I said as I gave him a hug.
"What are you doing here?" Matt asked John.
"We are here for Mom's birthday." John said.
We were talking and drinking coffee when Carol walked downstairs.
"Iris!" she screamed when scared John and he spit coffee all over me. Carol hit John upside the head and Matt was laughing. I still had coffee in my mouth. I spit it all over him. He stopped laughing.
"I am going to take a shower and sleep." I said as I walked upstairs.
"See you tonight." Carol said and gave me a hug. I smiled and walked upstairs.
John POV
She handled that well. Mom threw a towel at me. I started to clean the table. Matt had left.
"What are you doing here?" she asked me.
"Happy Birthday." I said. She smiled and gave me a hug.
"Are you two back together?" she asked me.
"Sorta." I said. she smiled. She knew I was tired.
"Go to sleep." she said.
"But..." I was saying.
"See ya at dinner." she said. I smiled and walked upstairs.
Iris had just gotten out of a shower and crawled into bed. I smiled and laid next to her.
"Good night." I whispered in her ear.
"Love you." she whispered back. I just laid there.
Did I hear her right? I thought right before I fell asleep.
A/N: Let me know what you think. Sorry it's a little short. I am being dealing with carpal tunnel in my wrist. R & R, I will try to update tomorrow.
