Chapter 33 Retard

Punk;

The instant I got into work, I just knew that I was going to pay for it. You wouldn't of thought so from the smile on Jam's face, but that soon changed, and then I knew I was in for a longer day than usual.

"Morning Jamie"

"Mooooorning Puuuuuuunk" Jamie trailed out, that big grin on her face only getting larger and somewhat crazier.

"How are you?"

"Gooooood! And youuuuuuuuuuu?"

"Why are you talking like that?"

"Like whaaaaaaaaat?" Jamie asked innocently, her blue eyes rounding in question, damaged brain or not she knew damn well what she was doing, she had that much control.

"Morning Jamie"

It was the first time in my life that I was actually happy to see Shield member Dean Ambrose, I knew that wouldn't last long but still if it got Jamie out of her weird talking then I would take it.

"Mooorning Deeeeeeeeeean" Jamie trailed out making the younger man look at her oddly.

"Are you ok Jamie?"

"Yeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss"

"Why are you talking like that?" Dean asked softly, as if his words would break her in half, like I wasn't there and hadn't asked the same thing, she actually let him in on the 'mystery'

"Well yesterday someone called me a retard, so I decided to act like one, I mean almost all of you people only had to learn vital things once, I had to learn twice and I guess that's what makes me retarded, so fine I'm retarded"

"Jamie I said I was sorry"

Dean shot me a filthy look, I don't think he was shocked in the slightest that it was me that called her a retard, and by the way now that I think about it, Jamie isn't retarded, (we all knew that) but she was special, because like she said, we only had to learn how to walk eteceria once, she had to learn twice and judging by how she skipped almost every where, she had done well.

"Yesssssssssssssssssss youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes, for someone that didn't like to be compared to a child she was sure was acting like one. Or maybe I was because I was playing right into her little hands, the thought of her little hands was just enough to start a motion of thoughts, touch was something I missed.

"Wait Jamie, what did you call me?"

"Deeeeeeeeeeeeeean"

"So when you're acting like this, you know my name? Interesting" Dean smirked at himself, I doubt it was for me or Jamie.

"Hoooooooooooow is that interrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrresting?"

Dean waved it aside as Kane came our way, could this day get any better? Yeah, throw in that douche bag Rock then it would be a great party.

"Ambrose, we gotta go over the match tonight, and when you tackle my knee, take it easy on the left one, its been giving me trouble"

If Kane wasn't deadly serious, I'm sure Dean would've taken advantage of the knee injury, but kicking his ass on the show was nothing short of acting, in a real fight, well its hard to beat him when he's already kicked your ass into a coma.

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Kaaaaaaaaaane!" Jamie trilled out before letting off a giggle, I don't think she remembered that she was trying to make a point, I think she just liked talking that way. If it wasn't pointed at my benifit in order to teach me a lesson (?) I would've laughed along with her.

"Are you ok Jamie?"

"Yeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss" As if to prove her point,she flashed him a huge grin. "Noooooooow if you will excuuuuuuuuuuuuse usssssssssssssss, we have woooooooooooork toooooooooo doooooooooo"

She took my wrist and started pulling me away from them, I shook from her soft hands, "Jamie, are you really going to talk like that all day?"

She shook her head, blonde locks hitting her face gently, I was happy for a split second but that was soon gone, "Noooooo,"

She was still doing it, which annoyed me and that factor only went up when I handed her the list. Her eyes skimmed it over,

"Soooooooooorry, can't do it, I'm a retard, I can't read"

"Jamie enough, I get it and I mean it, I really am sorry"

"You don't mean it Punk, if you didn't mean it, you wouldn't of said it"

Did that even make sense? I'm not sure, I think it did but I wasn't going to ask, not when she was so clearly in a bad mood already with me.

"I'm sorry" I said simply, it was like a broken record now and usually I would've just said fuck it and moved on, but with Jamie, I don't know, I guess I wanted things to be alright between us, I didn't want her mad at me.

"You keep saying that" Jamie snapped, "But the thing is I'm still mad, really really mad, I don't think I've ever been this mad, except once when you left the hospital and Batman refused to put you back in it, I mean all she had to do was break your leg so you would come back to the hospital but nooooooooo apparently that would get her in trouble, how does that even work? I'll tell you how, it doesn't, thats how."

"You were mad that I left the hospital?"

"Yeah" Jamie shrugged, I'm happy that her brain hadn't clicked that this was a normal conversation and she was meant to be mad at me, keep it like that and things would be perfect. "I hated that you had gone, I never did find another friend like you, I admit, I did try but no one seemed that interested in Laundry Theatre, which by the way is in its fifth cycle"

"Ooh catch me up on the drama! Are the socks still having their affair?"

Her blue eyes lit up which made my heart burn with intense affection, I hated it but at the same time, I had missed it. Missed it badly. "Ohh you would never believe it! The socks got caught with the sheet in the same bed that the sheet shared with her husband the pillow case, oh that pillow case was soooooo mad! Then it tried to kill itself but only wound up in a coma, but I don't know whats happened this season, I missed some episodes"

"Well with any luck the pillow case will come out of its coma, I liked the pillow case"

"You would, he's a prick like you" Jamie let out a triumphant giggle, "And you thought I had forgotten that I'm still mad at you! Oh I remember alright, and I will never ever forget it again!" Jamie laughed again "I've heard that somewhere before but where? Oh man this is gonna bug me all day"

Enough was enough, clearly she wasn't listening to me so it was time to make her listen, taking her slender wrists I pinned her against the wall so she was trapped, she had no choice but to let blue hit green and finally at last she was in the right position to listen. "Jamie listen to me, I am sorry that I hurt your feelings, and I'm sorry that I called you that bad word, and I'm sorry for trying to take advantage of your injury, I'm sorry for being a major jerk and lastly I'm sorry I had to resort to this just to get you to listen to me"

She just looked at me, "Are you done?"

"Yes"

"Are you going to let me go anytime soon, or are we just gonna stay here like this?" Another trail of giggles and I still hadn't let go, "Am I the only one turned on right now?"

Now I let her go, being turned on was the last thing I needed to be especially with her of all people. It was just another heart break that I just didn't need, Lord knows I could've done without the other six, weird thing was I no longer cared (obviously) for those whores, but I just knew it would hurt a fuck load more if Jamie was heart break number seven, after all I already liked her more than I did Maria when I first asked her out, I had to keep falling with Maria but with Jamie, I guess I had already started the falling process and when I stopped I didn't want to be on the end of heart ache, I couldn't take it if Jamie was the one to hurt me, that would just be worse than anything.

"Are you ok? You've gone all pale and stuff" Jamie inquired bringing me back to reality, yes I could now admit that I liked her more than I intended, it was just something about her, she was a flame and I was a moth. Weird but you see my point.

"Fine"

"Ok" Jamie let out a long sigh and gently let her fingers touch my hand, it was tentative at first as though she wasn't sure if it was allowed, but I let her have it for a moment, "If you really are sorry and you didn't mean it, then I guess I forgive you and I'll stop being a jerk"

I let a real smile come to my face for a moment, my heart swelling with happiness, I shouldn't be this happy, so she forgave me? But I was happy and I knew the exact reason why, but I was still in deny mode, I could let little things like this slip, but I refused to let it go any further, I refused to be on the reieving end of heartbreak number seven, or...I could let it happen and break her heart first...lets see how they (women) like it, oh this could be fun.
