Jon and Summer are already in the ring when Finn's music starts. "Ready?" he asks. I nod, smiling at him. He heads out and the crowd goes wild. I watch on the monitor as he gets halfway down the ramp before checking behind him. He shakes his head and runs back up, coming through the curtain and grabbing my arm, pulling me down the ramp behind him. Jon goes mad in the ring, climbing on the ropes and yelling at Finn to get his hands off me. Summer holds him back, running her hands all over his chest. "Get your hands off my husband!" I yell, sliding under the bottom rope before Finn can stop me and pushing her on her ass. Jon smirks at her and looks at me, making sure the cameras are on us. "You ok?" he asks, face full of concern. I nod slightly. "I love you" I say. "I miss you." "I love you too!" he yells as Finn drags me to our corner. Summer grins and starts touching Jon again. As soon as the bell rings I push Finn out of the way and run across the ring, dragging Summer into the middle of the ring by her hair.
Every time she tries to get back to Jon I grab her again. She's got me so worked up I forget it's supposed to be a tag match, pinning her without even tagging Finn in. Jon smirks as the ref raises my arm. I blow him a kiss and get out of the ring, running up the entrance ramp without even waiting for Finn. I pace around catering until Summer and Jon come through the curtain.
"The fuck was all that about?" I yell, pushing past Joe and Colby and grabbing hold of her. "Keep your skanky hands to yourself in future!" "Woah! Lora calm down!" Jon says, pulling me off her quickly. "She was just doing her job!" "Her job?" I yell, glaring at him. "Her job? And what exactly is that job Jon? Renee's stand in? Fuck this shit, I'm outta here!" I push away from him and start running down the corridor. "This is all my fault" Colby groans as I kick the locker room door open and slam it behind me.
"Lor?" Lex asks, poking her head around the door. "Hey, you ok?" "Depends" I say, looking up from packing my ring gear away. "Did Jon send you to ask that?" She shakes her head. "No" she says. "Colby did. I haven't seen Jon." I nod, slumping onto the bench. "I just saw red Lex" I groan. "I mean, she was blatantly all over him, and I know it's what she was meant to do, but that doesn't make it ok, right? Especially after all this with Colby." Lex nods. "Jon understands" she says quietly. "Don't shut him out Lor. The guy loves you, everyone can see it." "I love him too" I whisper. "So much. But I just think that being away from here is what I need. I don't think I can do this anymore Lex." "Do what?" she asks. "Jon? The marriage? Or wrestling?" "Wrestling" I say. "It's his life, Lex, but it's not mine." She shakes her head. "Stop it Lora" she warns. "You worked fucking hard to get onto the main roster with him." "Do you think I don't know that?" I yell. "I swear I wrote my name in sweat in those rings at the performance centre. But I'm not a wrestler." "Tell that to Summer" she says, smiling. I groan. "Guess I got a little territorial" I smirk. "But, you know, having Colby tell me about him and Zahra, it just made me think." She nods. "It's natural" she says. "But never doubt Jon. Or your ability in that ring." "It's not my ability I'm doubting Lex" I say. "It's my heart. My heart isn't in that ring, it's at home, with Jon." "Go away with him" she says softly. "Talk things through logically. Don't just make snap decisions based on someone else's fuck ups." I nod, standing up and grabbing my bag. "Guess I'd better go find my husband" I say.
I don't have to look far. He's waiting for me by the back doors. "Hey" he says quietly, smiling as I walk up to him. "I'm sorry" I whisper. He shakes his head. "Let's just get out of here" he says, putting his arm around my shoulders and kissing my head. I shake my head. "We can't" I say. "The fans. They'll be expecting me to leave with Finn." "Except" he says. "Finn has already left and told them he's pissed because he didn't get to wrestle. Hunter has lent us his car to go to the airport. Blacked out windows, privacy screen between us and the driver, and an hour to the airport. Wonder what we could do in that time..." "What are we waiting for?" I smirk, kissing him. "Let's go see."
