The next day...
Kali lay in the middle of the ring. She looked up at the lights wondering what on earth just happened. The last thing she remembered was standing between John and Randy. She tried to get up, but something was holding her down.
"Kali don't move honey." She heard John's soft voice whisper in her ear. "The medics are going to get you on the stretcher."
Suddenly she was hosted up and started to move to the end of the ring. She was tilted so that she could see the audience now. By the look on their faces something horrible had just happened. Once she was on her back again, she started moving. Out of the corner she saw John trying to reach her.
"John!" she cried.
"I love you Kali!" he yelled back to her. "I'm right behind them."
The medics didn't stop until they were in the ambulance. John was able to get in before they closed the doors. She felt much safer with him there.
"How are you doing?" he asked her.
"I have the headache from hell, but I'm okay. What happened?" she asked unsure if she wanted the answer.
"Randy wasn't paying attention and he kicked you in the back of the head pretty hard. We thought we heard a crack and then you went out cold." John paused. He looked really saddened. "We were worried when we couldn't wake you back up."
"Where did Randy go?"
John shook his head. "After the medics came out, he just took off."
Kali reached for John's hand. "Thank you for coming with me." She smiled.
"I had to come. I love you Kali and I want to make sure that you are going to be alright."
Kali felt sick inside. How could she have slept with Randy last night? He wasn't even man enough to stick around after hurting her. She had to tell John. "John I slept with Randy last night." She said with a tear coming down her cheek.
"I know honey. That changes nothing." He smiled back. "We can talk about it when you are feeling better."
Kali couldn't believe that John was being this wonderful to her. She felt like she didn't deserve him. Somehow she would have to make this up to him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning Kali sat in the hospital bed. John was sitting in a nearby chair fast asleep. She flipped through the channels looking for something to free her mind. The situation with Randy has started to really bug her. He still has yet to come see if she is okay. What a keeper, she thought. She heard some noise and saw John waking up.
"Hey, sleepy head." She said smiling.
"How are you feeling?" John walked over to her.
"Much better, the doctors say I can go home tonight." She patted the bed next to her. "You didn't have to stay here all night."
"I had no where else to be. And the food is wonderful here, how could I miss it?" he smiled sitting down.
"You are wonderful." She paused for a moment and looked at him. "I want you."
He was a little shocked by her statement. "Aren't you a little sore for that kind of thing?"
Kali laughed. "No, I mean I've made my choice. It's you John. I want to be with you."
John was so excited that he almost pulled her out of the bed. "Are you serious?" he exclaimed "How did you come to that decision?"
"It was really simple. I just realized that Randy only wanted me because he couldn't have me. When he got me, he just takes off." She smiled. "Besides, all my stuff is still at your house."
He laughed. "That's true."
"Can we talk about what happened with Randy the other night?"
John got up and paced the room. "Yeah I was going to bring it up." He looked over at her. "What happened?"
"Randy did what he does best. He made me feel special and wanted. I feel under his charm and he got want he wanted."
John nodded. "That's what I thought." He walked back over to her. "Kali, none of that matters to me." He gave her a soft kiss. "All that matters is we can stop this stupid game and finally be happy. I could kill him for making you go through this."
"It was mostly my fault. I let him manipulate me." She looked saddened. "I'm sorry for putting you through this."
"Kali don't worry about that." John paused. "My offer of marriage is still out there." He looked hopeful.
"John, I think it's a little early for that kind of question. We just got back together."
He nodded. "You're right I'm sorry. I just don't want to lose you again."
"That won't happen again. I am done with is games." Kali smiled.
John gave her another kiss, but this one was more intense. "You have no idea how good it is to hear that. I'm going to get some of that great food now. Did you want anything?"
Kali smiled. "Only if it's pizza."
"I'll have a look. Be back in a few minutes." John said leaving the room. He felt as though he had won the World Series. Randy's screw up came at a perfect time. Now that he had Kali back there was no way he would be letting her go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So Kali picked John huh? What is Randy's reason for not coming to the hospital? I still have no idea, but it will be a good one J I'm so sorry that it's taken me this long to get another chapter going. I haven't really been able to watch any wrestling so I have no idea who is still in the company and who isn't. Oh well it's supposed to be fiction anyway right J Please tell me what you guys thought. Thanks!
