Chapter 19

Now I know that if you read my other stories you will be familiar with the couples... I have changed one of those couples and switched them into this story. I repeat! This does not affect any part of any other story I have written. This story is IHeartTeryse's as she is the main Character Lori.

Lori had already been left shaken from the texting business with Drew but she never expected what happened next. She was lying wrapped up in Ste's arms when her phone vibrated. She sleepily reached out only to make it fall onto the floor. It was a text from Ted.

I'm outside your bedroom door. We need to talk. X

She was so pissed off at this man it was unreal. She wanted to kill him! She swung her legs out of bed letting them land with a small thud onto the floor before padding towards the door of their cheap hotel. She opened the door to find Ted standing attached to the arm of a very familiar pretty lady.

"Maryse what the hell are you doing here?" Lori snapped. SHe had thought Maryse was one of the nice Diva's she could trust.

"Just let us in so we can explain. Please" She asked in her French-Canadian accent. Ted kept his head down. Lori motioned for them to come in and they brushed past her in a breeze. Sheamus jerked awake.

"What the hell is he doing here?" He asked, standing up. Lori placed hand on his chest, telling him it was alright.

"You have ten minutes before I kick your ass outta here." Lori stated. Ted nodded.

"I want you to understand that I will always love you as a friend and I never meant for any of this to happen." Ted spoke clearly and with authority. Lori nodded. She believed that part.

"You cheated on me Ted and I will never forgive you for that. Ever." Lori was a very understanding person but cheating was one thing that was crossed off in her book. Maryse took her chance to interject.

"This is mainly my fault Lori. I thought he was single and I tried my hardest to get him. In the end it worked and It wasn't until yesterday I found out that I was with him while he was still with you." Maryse started to cry and Lori couldn't help feel sorry for her.

"I understand Maryse and thank-you for your honesty. It means a lot." Lori said smiling, sympathised with the Diva.

"I'm here to ask you if you will be my friend. I heard about what Drew and his little butt buddies did and I want to help." Ted offered, his voice somewhat soothing. Lori felt Sheamus tense up beside him and she leant against his tall frame.

"And how do I know your not siding with those assholes?" Sheamus asked, interested in the idea. Ted shook his head.

"I have never once stopped caring for this girl. Never. And I don't want to see her get hurt." He paused, covering his eyes with his hands. "I couldn't believe I told you in the ring that I had cheated on yo but It was just a heat of the moment thing and I never meant to hurt you." His voice began to get shaky and Lori knew he was being genuine.

"Maryse, could you give us a second with Ted?" Lori asked softly. Maryse nodded and scurried to hte door, closing it behind her. Lori sat down beside Ted, trying her best to reason with him.

"Right. Here's the deal. You and everyone else knows that I don't and never will condone cheating but I need to know, Do you love her?" She asked, looking into his eyes. He nodded.

"I love the girl to pieces. Its something I've never felt before." He explained. Lori sighed.

"Well, then I forgive you. I would have rather you told me and then went to be with her but Life deals us with choices like that. I know for a fact, Love can't wait." She looked at Sheamus and realized that her own words applied to her own experience. She smiled brightly before turning back to Ted.

"So understand that we can be friends but it will take a lot for you to build up the trust again." She motioned to the door and he breathed a sigh of relief as he figured he would get to go. He hugged her on his way past.

"If you get any crap from Drew, you call me straight away. Got it?" He asked before setting off down the hallway with Maryse. Lori grinned as she was pulled back into the room by two very strong arms.

"You dealt with that perfectly." Sheamus muttered, kissing the top of her head. She smiled.

"I was very surprised you even kept your cool." She said back. He jerked his head up.

"What is that supposed to mean!?" He asked, pretending to sound offended. She shook her head.

"Nothing babe." She said before snuggling close to is chest. He reached down to the ground, waving his hands about to try and find last nights trousers. H successfully found them and pulled the little box from the pocket.

"Lori, sit up for a second." He muttered in her ear. She stirred for a moment before finally getting up. He pushed the little box into her hand and immediately her face dropped.

"Dont worry, It's not an engagement ring." He reassured her, her face lighting up this time. She slid her nail along the side and the box popped open revealing a gold band with a small diamond-shaped heart in the middle.

"Its a promise ring. It sounds silly but It's what people do before proposing." Lori shot her head up, thinking that's what he was going to do, he laughed and shook it off.

"It means, I promise to Love and Protect you no matter what. And I promise not to hide your Marshmallow Smirnoff when you get hyper." He kissed her, slipping the ring on at the same time. She giggled before putting her hand in the air, letting the light catch the diamonds and sparkly light flooding the room.
