Trenton, NJ
Candice retreat back to Florida that following morning, Jonathan traveled to Trenton, NJ. Once he arrived at his destination, Jonathan knocks gently on the door. "Who is it?" Yells a female voice.
"John." His eyes lands on a tall peitie blonde with should length hair.
"What are you doing here?" The blonde arches her brow.
"Maria."
"She doesn't want to talk to you go to your wife."
"STACY, let him in." Maria's voice in the background spoke.
Before giving him a glare, Stacy moves pass the world champion. "Down the hall on the right." She rolls her eyes going back to her laptop. Maria watches for the door, her heart heavy. Its been weeks since she talk or seen him in person; television never counted. Her green eyes brought up to the handsome features that was hidden a Jets cap. She watches as he turns the cap backwards on his head leaning against the door. He was dress down in tennis shoes, black basketball shorts and a white shirt that hung loosely from his body but you could tell he worked out. Maria laughs lightly while taking a stare at his left hand. "Never saw that before."
Jonathan sighs. "I just came here to apologize…I was going to tell you-"
"Before or after I fell in love with you, before or after the fucking two years! You've been married since I was in fucking high school!"
"Don't make me sound old okay, my wife and you are two to three years apart." John says. " Listen I didn't mean for this to happened-"
"You didn't mean to get caught." Maria said quietly. "Now I realize why you never wanted me backstage -"
"Please, Maria I am sorry." Jonathan says in a fed up tone. "Listen, the two years we were together were amazing and baby-"
"No no I am not your baby as a matter of fact get out get the hell out!"
Jonathan strains Maria on the bed with her wrist pinned above her head. The read head was upset and heaving breathing, Jonathan stares into her light green eyes. They were the same as Candice. "I thought you loved me."
"I do." He place soft kisses on her lips.
As bad as Mara wants to turn away she couldn't. "Maria."
"Stop…go back to your wife." She whispers.
He grips her strongly but in a gently way with a smirk on his handsome face. "Only if I can have you once last time."
Jacksonville, FL
As Candice laid by the pool with a wine in her left hand, she watched her phone as a text came through.
Melinda: Open the door I'm pulling up.
Candice downs the rest of her wine while walking towards the front door of her estate. Melinda eyes widen at the sight of the mother of two. Candice opens the door wearing only a bikini and heels.
"Wow…thanks for making me feel better about myself Candice." Melinda steps in rubbing her belly. "I have to get fat again."
Candice smiles weakly. "Sorry."
"Kidding…girls still at school?" Melinda asks.
"Yup. I'm going to go pick them up soon."
Melinda bites her lip. "The heavyweight champion?"
Candice shrugs. "2 years."
Melinda give her a look. "Huh."
Candice. "2 years."
Melinda eyes widen as soon as she figured out what Candice was telling her. "ARE YOU FUCKING ME? TWO YEARS…THAT'S A RELATIONSHIP I'M GOING TO KILL HIM AND CHASE!"
"Your husband has nothing to do with it."
"Right, but still they're buddies." Melinda said. "So what are you going to do?"
"I don't know, I never saw this coming?"
Melinda sighs. "Really?"
Candice looks at her in shock. "I am the perfect wife-"
"Yeah and so was Halle Barry. Listen, I know you don't understand a thing about wrestling although you been married to a man that's been in the industry since early 90's. But Jonathan…he's a big deal like he's the fucking man. A legend and this is coming from a female wrestler and a wife that is married to one. Your husband is on the road almost 200 out of year, the two women we have to watch is the ring rats and the women who screw the top dogs to get to the top. Unfourtnley that wasn't your case and I apologize about that. But baby are you really going to stand there and tell me him cheating never crossed your mind-"
"No, I'm a single mom mostly. When Jonathan is here, he's here and I am-everything is about him when he comes home. He treats me no differently than the way we first starting dating and before the girls came he- at least I thought he loved me."
"He does I believe so I just…I don't know what to say about that." Melinda was speechless. "Daniel has done some way worst things than this if it makes you feel better."
Candice laughs. "Your crazy too so I'm sure your just saying that to make me feel better. You guys are awesome, the perfect couple-"
"No were not, your just on the outside looking in." If she only knew.
Miami, FL
"Prime , Nikki Beach, DeVito.."
Randy listen as Alicia go through names of a restaurant that Layla might like or has never been too. "This is just a date I am not trying to propose Victoria."
"Well you can't take her to play pool either Randal."
He sighs as he was trying on shirts. Alicia stands next to him. "You like her don't you?"
Randy sighs tossing down the shirt. "Ssshhhuuutt up!"
Jacksonville, FL
A few days later, Jonathan arrives at home. "Candice?" He yells through his estate. "Candice?"
As the brunette made her way downstairs, she brushes pass her husband and headed for the oven. She baking chicken for dinner. "Didn't know you were coming home." She said not looking at him.
"I wanted to give you your space. Plus I had a few shows and photos to do here in Jacksonville." Jonathan says as he unloosen his tie. "Can we talk?"
Candice notices the keys to his Bentley that he toss on the island; he must've came home ealier. "Your asshole, there's nothing to talk about."
He rolls his eyes. "Babe-"
"Do you love her?" She asks.
"I am in love with you-"
Candice slams the oven gloves on the marble island of the kitchen. "Fuck you! Answer me tell me the tur-"
"Listen, I love Maria but I am in love you with, why the fuck I did it because I just did okay. I have no fucking excuse I can't go back and change the past. I want to be with you Candice and my kids. I never said I was perfect any fucking ways…you always did."
Candice began to think that putting her husband on a pedestal has backfired, but she was not about to apologize for being a supportive wife. Jonathan moves toward his wife slowly. "I fucked up I admit that, and if you leave me I can understand but I don't want to lose you…can we make this work?"
"We have to see a counselor-"
"Babe I am not about to chat my business to some stranger so it will be everywhere-"
Candice shrugs. "Well your dick should've been kept in your pants over the last two years Jonathan. I don't even know who you are anymore."
"Baby its me. At least I didn't give you a bullshit line on I did because I'm away from home a lot I'm a man I have need I gave you the real deal I did it just because I…just fucking did it." he confessed. "I'm sorry I don't know what else to say or do. And buying you some lavish gift for you to forgive me and cover up what I did is lame so…I don't know what you want from me."
Candice eyes were watering up. "Drop by like always do, I don't want the girls to notice anything different. I need some space. Where there any other women besides her."
"No." He says truthfully. "I'm going to go pick up the girls."
For some reason, Candice believed him she bit her bottom lip knowing that he was telling the truth. Turst was something big to her, it was going to take a while for the wounds to heal.
Atlanta, GA
Instead of a night in Miami, Randy and Layla were both on the road for a house show. Layla picks out a nice casual place for lunch. She was nervous and excited at the same time.
"So, what have you heard about me?"
"Cocky arrogant womanizer bad boy who has the potential of a Kevin Nash and Jonathan Barnett combined."
He arches a brow. "Wow."
"Wow." she mocks him. "This is good." Layla says eating her Cod salad and bake chicken.
"Glad to see that you eat. Love girl that can." Randy give her that seductive stare.
Layla blushes. "So why the date?"
"This isn't a date, it's dinner." Randy says. "So what got you into wrestling?"
"Modeling, Lauranitis saw me and bam my phone rings. But, I start really getting into it by watching Melinda's old matches, The Body, and…you."
"Me?"
"Yeah." She smiles.
"You just made my ego jump through the roof even more." Randy laughs. He take another bite into his well done steak. "So gorgeous…you like your food?"
"Yeah, you?"
"Yup…"
"So what go you into wrestling?" She asks.
"Jonathan and Daniel, and a few others." He sits back staring at her . "So why me?"
" Your flow to the ring and your smooth in the ring. I know you came around a few after I did but still your amazing." Layla cuts her eyes down to her food, she couldn't stand looking him in the eyes while making her confession.
Randy's grin turns into a full smile. "Your awesome too." So where do we go from here?
