He's barely been home running leads on any blacklisters given to help find out what Parrot is after and who in her world. Two entire weeks he was barely home only coming home twice in the first week and once the second. Jilian started to get upset with him and guilt tripping him when he did come home telling him how he should just quit the job pack up their shit and move and get as far away from DC as they possibly can.
Finally after the long two weeks he was able to come home and have a long weekend. Liz said she'd run things on her own and let them have a couple well deserved days off.
"Hey honey I'm home!" He called out sounding extremely tired dropping his suitcase and laptop bag on the couch
"You Don…why can't we just pack up and leave?" She asked turning around from the window
"Because baby, you know this is my life I've worked with them for 13 years in this family..my informant will only talk to me.." He explained hands on his hips
"DON! Listen I'm your life now not them, screw your information let's JUST GO!" She said raising her voice
"Honey I'm sorry but it's not that easy!"He trying to reason with her
"Don I'm starting to feel like your cheating on me with someone your unhappy just tell me" She said walking over to him
"Jili I can't just leave…I'm not unhappy but I can't leave"He said looking into her eyes hoping she'd understand
"WHY DON, WHY WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT!?ITS THAT BITCH LIZ ISN'T SHE'S BACK!?" She now raising her voice and hitting the table next to the couch
"DON'T FUCKING CALL HER A BITCH GODDAMNIT!" He shouted back at her
"SO IT IS HER DONNIE IT IS?!"She screamed back
"NO ITS FUCKING NOT!"She could see she was getting to him and was very much so enjoying it knowing what would be coming his and Liz's
That's where they found themselves fighting back and forth for 45 minutes till finally Ressler said "You know what I just worked my ass off for twos with almost no fucking sleep I'm not doing this tonight" He as grabbed his bag and briefcase, walking to the door.
"Where ARE YOU GOING?!"She shouted
With no answer he opened the door and slammed it closed behind him forcing her to jump. Getting in the car while it was raining heavy, going to the only person's house he knows he can trust deep down
Looking up she saw it was 10:45 PM a knock on the door, Rocco already asleep in his room. Getting up with a gun in hand walk looking through the hole surprised at who she sees on the other side.
"Don what are you doing here?" She asked opening the door and seeing his blood shot eyes
"I couldn't stay there and deal with her…" He said looking down at her feet
Putting the gun away, wrapping an arm around him, pulling him in and shutting the door and locking it behind her. "Come on let's get you out of there wet clothes Donnie" Liz said softly to him, guiding him towards the couch and having him sit down as she goes to find him clothes that would fit coming back after five minutes with a sweatpants and gray T-shirt handing it to him and pointing him towards the bathroom.
While in the bathroom she went and got them both two beers. What the fuck did that little bitch do to him. She thought to herself as she set the two beers down on the coffee table and opened them both. Hearing the bathroom door, looking up and smiling at him, hair wet and if she was being honest she hasn't seen him look more sexy ever. Thinking to herself how tonight under the circumstances it would seem like if they had a normal life together.
"Hey" She replied softly to him looking up smiling at him, him giving her a half smile collapsing down on the couch and then laying his head down onto her lap tucking it into her stomach wrapping his arms around her torso and rubbing her back.
She not expecting him to do that runs an arm up and down his back caressing it slowly and then playing with his ear sending a chill through him. Leaning down and kissing his forehead then running her hand through his partially damn tear and then finding a blanket and putting it over him
"You wanna talk about it Don?" She asked softly, feeling him shake his head no and snuggling himself deeper into her
"Shhh Don I'm right here I got you…" She assured him softly
"S..something not right with her.. she hasn't been right and not like this till the last couple of months…"He said softly to her moving his head back and laying to look up at her
"Maybe it's because I'm having you guys work crazy hours and you've barely been home the last two weeks" She said moving one hand to caress his cheek and the other one stop playing with his hair.
"No it's something more Lizzy…" He replied moving into her touch
"Well if so we will find out Don" She said smiling down at him
"Can I stay here tonight…just for tonight..?" He asked nervously and ashamed looking up at her, she simply nodding to him turning on a movie and going back to rubbing his head
An hour later she looked down at him asleep gently shaking him "Don honey come on let's go to bed" he's slowly coming to his senses getting up slowly with her moving to her bedroom and laying down under the covers. At first thinking they'd stay away from each other in the bed, she soon felt him moving closer to her, laying his head on her chest and arm around her holding her close. Putting an arm around him caressing the back of his head and keeping him close to her knowing the both of them need it they both need it tonight.
Soon moving his head up to look at her putting an hand on her cheek and then moving it to the back of her head pulling her head towards him and capturing her lips she wrapped an arm around his neck keeping him close to her as well and they stayed like that for a couple of minutes showing the other they still love to one another kissing and holding each other. Slowly he moved back, adjusting his head back on her shoulder drifting off to sleep slowly.
I got you honey…it's all gonna be okay.. I love you. She thought to herself as she kissed the top of his head soon joining him going to bed
The world may have taken many things they loved from the other but no matter what they would always have each other. Tonight he needed her and she'd be what he needed doing what he needed keeping him close and showing him there's still a light at the end of the tunnel and that no matter how much time has gone by she still loves him no matter what and will show him how much he is loved no matter the cost…
