Cora-

Colby put his hand on my thigh and squeezed it. I held my breath. Damn his touch.

"I know that look baby", he whispered.

"The look of annoyance", I said.

He chuckled.

"My touch has you squirming in your seat", he said.

"Please", what he said was true, but I wasn't about to admit it to him.

His lips brushed from my cheek to my neck.

"So if I sleep with another woman, you wouldn't mind?", he whispered.

I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"Nope", I said.

I felt him smirked against my neck.

"Yes you would. Just like I would kill any man who touches you", he said.

I turned to look at him. He smiled at me.

"I love you baby. No other woman could ever make me feel the way you do", he said.

"I love you too", I replied, giving in.

"Then can we get back together, please?", he asked.

"I'm just not ready yet", I said, looking down at my now warm beer.

He put a finger under my chin and made me look at him.

"What's going on?", he asked.

"Nothing", I said.

He sat up and eyed me.

"Don't lie to me. You never were good at lying", he pointed out.

I bit my lip.

"Are you seeing someone else?", he asked hurt.

"No", I said, taking his hands.

"Then talk to me", he said.

"I can't", I replied softly.

He kissed me.

"Please, just talk to me", he whispered.

I pulled away from him and lifted my shirt a little. His jaw dropped when he saw the bruise on my ribs.

"What the fuck", he said.

His fingers brushed it and I flinched. He looked back at me angry.

"If you tell me Scott did that to you, I'm gonna kill him", he said, his jaw clenched.

"Don't tell Chris. She doesn't know", I said.

"When?", he asked.

His fists balled up.

"The week after I left your place. He went over to my grandparents house, no one was home and", I stopped.

"Did he rape you?", he asked.

"No, I kicked him and was able to get up and let Elvis in from the backyard. He bit him", I said.

He mumbled something under his breath and I looked over at him.

"Do your grandparents know?", he asked.

I shook my head no. He rubbed his face.

"I'm gonna kill him", he said again.

"Please, just hold me", I said softly.

He took a deep breath and wrapped me in his arms. He kissed the top of my head.

"Does this mean you're back together?", Chris asked smiling.

Her smile fell when she noticed the look on Colby's face.

"What's going on?", Ryan asked.

"I have to tell you something Chris", I said, wiping my cheeks.

I told them what happened.

"Why didn't you fucking tell me Cora?", she asked angry.

"I was scared", I said.

"When do you leave?", Colby asked.

"Tomorrow", I said.

"I'm coming with you", he said.

"No, I'm fine", I said.

He looked at me.

"I'm coming", he said.

I nodded. There was no changing his mind.

Colby-

Landing in Seattle with the girls. Chris let us stay at her apartment. She went to stay with her grandparents. I watched Cora come out of the bathroom. She was in shorts and a tank top.

"Are you okay?", I asked.

"Yeah, just glad you're here", she said.

"Your my woman and no one touches whats mine", I said.

"I'm your woman now?", she asked.

I smiled and nodded. She crawled up the bed towards me.

"Sweetheart I don't think your sister would like us having make up sex on her bed", I whispered.

She straddled me and kissed me.

"It's not make up sex, its we're back together sex", she whispered against my lips.

"Good because I missed you", I said.

"I missed you too", she whispered.

"Your bruise", I said.

"Just be gentle", she said.

The next morning I woke up and got dressed. I made breakfast for Cora in bed.

"You never did this the first time", she said.

"I never thought I'd lose you. Now that I have you again I'm gonna do everything in my power to keep you in love and happy", I said.

"You're not giving up wrestling are you?", she asked.

"If I said no", I said.

"I don't want you to give that up. I might not understand it most of the time, but you love it and I would never want to take that from you", she said.

I smiled.

"That's why I love you", I said, kissing her.

"So what do you want to do today?", she asked.

"Kick Scott's ass", I replied.

"Colby", she sighed.

"He hurt you. You think I liked seeing you like that", I said.

"No but", I stopped her.

"There are no buts here. Where can I find him?", I asked.

She bit her lip.

"Does he still work at the store?", I asked.

She stayed silent. I nodded and got up. She followed, putting her shoes on in the car.

"He's not here, can we go", she said.

"How do you know?", I asked.

"His car's not here", she said.

I nodded.

"Let's go to your grandparents", I said.

Getting there, Chris was coming home from her run with Elvis.

"Hey", she said out of breath.

I ran my fingers through Elvis's hair.

"Good boy", I said.

"So what has you two here?", Chris asked.

"I'm looking for Scott", I said.

"Oh me too", Chris said.

"I'm not visiting either of you in jail", Cora said.

"Negative. Who says we're going to get caught", Chris said.

"She obviously doesn't know who the best damn tag team is", I said.

"Damn straight", Chris said.

I high fived with Chris.

"Oh brother", Cora mumbled.
