Colby-

I couldn't get the thought of Scott putting his hands on Cora out of my mind and it pissed me off. Cora turned off the tv.

"Ask", she said.

I turned to look at her.

"How many times has he hit you?", I asked.

"Twice, Chris caught him before he could hit me the third time", she said.

"This pisses me off. I want to go find him and beat his face in", I said frustrated.

I stood and paced the living room. Chris came in slurping her soda.

"You're gonna make a hole in the floor if you keep pacing like that", she said.

She looked at Cora and then back at me.

"You told him", she said.

Cora nodded.

"Did Scott try to hit you again?", Chris asked angry.

"No, but he put his damn hand on her", I growled.

"Please tell me you hit him?", Chris asked me.

"I wanted too", I said.

"Are you okay?", Chris asked Cora.

Cora nodded. I sighed and reached my hand out for her to take it. She did and I took her to her room.

"Talk to me", I said.

"I love you", she said.

"I love you too babe, you know that", I said, cupping her face.

"I just wanted to hear you say it", she whispered.

"I'm gonna say it for the rest of my life", I said, kissing her forehead.

Cora-

Colby had gone back to Iowa. I sat in the kitchen watching Chris pack for school.

"Job hunting today?", she asked.

I shook my head no.

"Might just relax for a couple more weeks. I'm just glad to be away from Scott", I said.

"Why didn't you just quit before?", she asked.

"Scott has never bothered me before, all he use to do was stare and then he see's me with Colby and he goes all psycho ex on me", I said.

"Well I think you deserve time off. Why not go spend a couple of weeks with Colby", she suggested.

"Maybe I should", I agreed.

Colby-

I had just gotten back from training, the living room was dark. I flipped the switch on and found Ryan making out with Stella on our couch. I turned my back to them.

"Sorry, didn't realize you had company", I said over my shoulder.

"Its cool man, we're taking this to my room", he said.

"Hi Colby", Stella said.

I sent her a wave and went to my room. I closed my door and tried calling Cora, no answer. I sighed and let myself fall back on my bed. Loud moans could be heard coming from Ryan's room. I got up and decided to take a shower, not wanting to hear her fake moans. I'm pretty sure Ryan knew they were fake too, but I'm sure he didn't care as long as he got laid.

I chuckled to myself. I hopped in the shower. A few minutes later, I felt a pair of hands on me. I turned to see Stella naked next to me.

"What the fuck are you doing?", I asked.

"We both know you want me. Come on Colby I won't tell if you won't", she said.

I got out and wrapped a towel around my waist.

"Get out", I yelled.

She laughed but didn't move, she was still naked. I grabbed her by her arm and pulled her out. Opening my bedroom door, Cora stood there. I looked at Stella who smirked.

"It's not what you think", I said quickly.

Cora turned on her heels and started for the front door. I called for Ryan. I caught Cora by her waist from behind.

"Please baby, I would never", I said.

Ryan came out and stood there. I was trying to hold Cora with one arm and hold my towel with the other.

"Get her out of my room before I lose the love of my life", I growled at him.

"What are you talking about?", he asked.

"Stella got in the shower with me", I said angry.

Ryan disappeared into the hall, then I heard yelling. Stella had put her clothes back on and left our apartment in a hurry. I dragged Cora back to my room. Ryan stopped me.

"Cora I promise you, Colby didn't touch her", Ryan said.

Cora looked from him to me. She pulled her arm away and went into my room. I followed and closed the door behind me. Towel still around my waist.

"She saw you naked", Cora said.

"I didn't think she would come into my room and into my shower. She was with Ryan when I got in", I said.

"Colby, I don't think I can do this", she said.

"Baby, how do you think I felt when I saw Scott with you or when I see other men eyeing you when we walk by", I said.

She was gonna say something, but I stopped her.

"I don't like seeing other men look at you, but I know that you're mine", I said.

"Whats your point?", she asked.

"My point is that, yes other women are going to want to be with me just like I know other men will want to be with you, but I know you would never look twice at them", I said.

"Because I'm yours", she said.

I smiled and rubbed my thumb softly on her cheek.

"And I'm yours", I said.

She looked down at the towel still around my waist.

"Can I slap her next time. She saw you naked", Cora said.

I chuckled.

"Defend your man", I said.

She straddled me and kissed me.

"I love you", she whispered.

"I love you too", I said.

A knock at the door.

"Come in", I said.

Ryan walked in and set Cora's bags down by the door. I looked back at Cora.

"Whats going on?", I asked her.

"Well, work isn't holding me back right now, so I thought why not spend a few weeks with you", she said.

"You mean I get you for more than a week?", I asked.

"If you don't mind, and you Ryan", she said.

"Not at all", Ryan said, leaving the room.

I smiled.

"I get to keep you", I smiled.

She giggled and nodded.
