"I'm fine Lor" he grumbles as I get him tucked up in bed. "Not another word Ambrose" I warn. He holds his hands up and I grin. "I'll be back in a sec" I say, kissing his head. "Just gonna check everything is locked up and grab some water." He nods, blowing me a kiss as I walk out to the lounge. My phone is lit up and buzzing around the coffee table so I grab it quickly, answering it as I walk into the kitchen. "About time!" Lex complains. "Just saw Raw, Jon ok?" "So he says" I say, grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge and kicking it shut. "So you don't believe him?" she asks. I groan, pulling out a stool and sitting down. "I don't know" I admit. "He seemed pretty out of it when I ran to the ring." "That kick" she squeals. "Awesome!" "Tell that to Hunter" I groan. "He was all for tearing me apart until Vince walked up." "Woah what?" she yells. "Vince" I say. "I got a meeting with him tomorrow about something. No idea what." "Lora!" Jon yells. "I gotta pee! Am I allowed out of bed?" I groan. "I gotta go Lex" I say. "His lordship is demanding attention. I'll call you after my meeting tomorrow." "Make sure you do" she warns. "Keep me updated on Jon." "Will do" I say. "Bye." I end the call and put the phone in my pocket, grabbing the water and turning all the lights off before heading back into the bedroom.
"If I don't get to the bathroom" he warns. "One of us is gonna be sleeping in a wet patch." "So go" I say, shrugging. "It's not as if you were gonna listen to me anyway." "I'm fine Lor" he says, throwing the covers back. "Honestly." I nod, not paying any attention to him as I strip and quickly get into bed. I've got my back to his side of the bed when he finally comes back. He takes a deep breath before getting back into bed, not daring to touch me. He gives up moments later, rolling over and pulling me to him. "Lor" he whispers. I don't answer, pretending to be asleep. "I hate falling asleep on an argument" he carries on. "So I'm gonna clear it up, even though your not awake. Damn it Lora, I fucking love you. So much. I'm fine, really, having tomorrow off is just a precaution, it's all good." He kisses my shoulder lightly. His breathing finally evens out and when he starts to snore I fall asleep too.
He's already up when I wake the next morning. I find him in the kitchen. "Last load of your laundry is in" he says, nodding towards the washer. "Just ironed that lot, if you wanna go put it away." I frown, looking at him then back to the lounge. "Who are you?" I ask. "And where is my husband?" "I am your husband" he says, walking towards me. "And don't you ever forget it." I shake my head as he puts his arms around me warily. "Think that kick was harder than we thought" I say. "You've turned into some sort of domestic God!" He laughs. "Well" he says. "If Vince does what I think he's gonna do later, and I'm injured, I'd better get used to being the wife in this marriage." "Huh?" I ask. "Lor" he says. "Vince is gonna offer you a contract, everyone knows that. If I'm injured, I'm not gonna be travelling." I shake my head, laughing. "There's a snowballs chance in hell of Vince offering me a contract" I say. "Besides, you only get tonight off. Don't get too house proud." He smiles. "Don't be too hasty" he begs. "Listen to what he has to say, not just the parts you wanna hear." I nod. "Ok" I say. "But I'm still not making any promises about signing." He nods. "I understand" he says, walking away from me. "Go put your laundry away wife." I grin. "Yes boss" I say, grabbing it quickly and running into the bedroom. I've literally just put it on the dresser ready to hang when he tackles me onto the bed. "I kinda like that" he growls in my ear. "Boss. Got kind of a ring to it, don't you think?" I manage to roll over and look up at him. "God I love you" I moan. That's all it takes for the Jon and Lora mutual appreciation society to have an impromptu meeting.
"But you're injured" I manage to pant, resting my head on his chest. His heart is racing. "Told you" he pants back. "Just a precaution. Where's doc when I need to prove it?" "At work" I groan. "Which is where I need to be." He nods. "I know" he says quietly. "Gonna miss you Lor." "Gonna miss you too dumbass" I say kissing him. "I'm gonna hit the shower. Can't turn up for a meeting with Vince smelling like sex." He smiles. "Want me to drive you to the arena?" he asks. I nod. "That would be good" I say. "Better join you in that shower then" he says, jumping up and racing into the bathroom. I shake my head, take a deep breath, and run after him.
