The next morning, well actually afternoon as they stayed up to early in the morning making love over and over again, they were in the living room sitting on the couch when Cyndi and Kat walked in the back door. When Cyndi made it through the kitchen and into the doorway leading into the living room, the only thing she could do was smile. There Cameron was, dressed in one of her many sleep outfits which more than showed the majority of her scars, as comfortable as could be in J.P.'s lap watching TV.
"So I see the house is still in tact. Nothing's broken or out of place that I can see."
"Just don't look in the bedroom Red."
When J.P. came back at her with that remark, Cameron blushed hiding her face in J.P.'s chest. About that time, Kat walks into the living room and sees the sight.
"Oh damn! Someone got laid last night!"
"Several times."
As the words escaped her mouth, Cameron's jaw dropped, not believing she even said something like that. This sends Kat, Cyndi, and J.P. into a fit of laughter. As Cameron looks at the three, her face turns into a pout.
"Y'all are so mean to me!"
J.P. pulls her close and whispers in her ear.
"That's ok; you can make up for it later."
"Oh I plan on it."
The day went on, and Cameron offered to take everyone out for dinner. As they sat in the middle of the restaurant, J.P.'s cell phone rang. It was a quick phone call from Bob Ryder, reminding him he had a doctor's appointment the next morning as a follow-up to his surgery. Steve was going to take him so Cameron could work at the office. Everything went as planned, and J.P. had Steve drop him off at home. Steve hadn't been up front with any information and J.P. hadn't called her. That was worrying Cameron as he called usually at least once a day. She decided to make a pit stop at his place on the way home. As she knocked on the door, one of his roommates, and fellow TNA star Tracy answered the door.
"Hey Cameron. What's up?"
"I wanted to come by and see my boy. He hasn't called today, and I wanted to see what the doctor had said."
"Well, when he came home earlier, he said that if anyone came looking for him, he wasn't here and shut himself up in his room. However, I'm going to make the exception and let you in."
"Thanks Tracy."
"When Cameron entered J.P.'s room, he didn't even move.
"I thought I said I didn't want to be bothered."
"If you're upset, you can take it out on me, and not Tracy."
"Cameron?"
"I thought that I would stop by and see how things went today since you and Steve are being so secretive about it all. But if you really want me to go, I'll leave."
With that, J.P. turned over and locked eyes with Cameron. She could tell he was upset by something, but until he told her, she wouldn't know for sure.
"If you want me to walk out that door, I'll do it. I don't know what's going on, but I would like to help if I can. I'm posing to you the same question that you posed to me. Should I stay or should I go?"
J.P. instantly shot up off the bed, grabbing Cameron's arm pulling her to him. He kissed her with all the passion he could muster like he had a few nights before. Cameron instantly became Jell-O in his arms. When he finally pulled away from her, he rested his forehead against hers.
"Je vous ami, but right now, I need you to go. I've got some things I need to think about."
Cameron let her arms drop from around J.P.'s arms, and looked him dead in the eyes. J.P. felt like an ass for pushing away the one person he knew would be there for him no matter what, but he didn't know what else to do. Right now, he needed to think some things through in his head, and having Cameron around would only make this decision harder to make. He saw the tears forming in her eyes, and went to reach for her. However, as he almost had her in his grasp, she stepped away and made her exit. Tracy tried to stop her, but Cameron just waved her off and promised to call her later. Back in the bedroom, J.P. just fell back on the bed, knowing the decision he had to make wasn't going to be an easy one.
