heeya!

a little recap of last chapter : Jon and Annie reconciles and Jon tries to convince her to get the treatment but Annie firmly informed him she wouldn't...

read on! :)

Jon peered through the window of the restaurant and spotted Annie's familiar form easily. She sat alone and was gazing down the table, reading something. Grinning to himself, he entered the restaurant, which she had chosen and walked in with one intention and that is to approach her so that he could be with her. Being apart for a couple of days almost killed him. He plagued Annie with phone calls throughout the two days that passed, it was Jon's own way of comforting himself that she's fine and still alive.

He stopped in front of her table and cleared his throat, almost immediately causing her to look up. A big, beautiful smile appeared on her pretty face that little while ago was full of concentration while she read the contents of the book she had brought. "Jon!" happily, she got up from her seat, welcoming him with a warm embrace. It enabled Jon to catch a whiff of her familiar scent, from her apple shampoo to her fragrant vanilla soap. "I'm so, so, so proud of you Jon," she murmured against his chest over and over again. Somehow, it surprised Jon more than anything when he felt a sense of complete achievement upon hearing her say those words and he didn't felt that when everyone else said the same thing, from Sami and Rob down to his trainer. It was only Annie's compliment that made him realise that he must've done a great job, even if she know very little about the industry, because Annie was the only one he wanted to impress.

"Thanks sunshine, I did it just for you," he replied, holding her tight and not wanting to let go. With a grin, she looked up at him and Jon had the urge to kiss her, and he did, right in the middle of the restaurant. If people complain, they can go fuck themselves, his hours and days with this woman was counted and that should allow him to kiss her in public whenever he desires.

"You're good at what you do, Jon, I think you deserve it more than anything," face red, Annie informed him as she returned back to her seat after their little public display of affection. "Ohhh, I'm so proud of you, I'll definitely be the first one to buy a ticket for your first match for the WWE," she grinned at him enthusiastically, Jon felt proud like a man who just conquered the world. With a contract secured, Jon will soon be able to have his big break in the WWE where he was told he'll be sent to the developmental territory for the next few months to further train and improve his skills for a big audience. Jon could only hope that kismet, which Annie talks so much about will be kind to them and allow Annie to witness his debut…or maybe kismet would be even kinder and give Annie a break too and relieve her of her terminal disease, but Jon knew he was being ambitious with that thought.

After dinner, Jon brought her to his place. He missed her company during the time that he was gone. Having Annie around felt a lot different than when he have the boys around for company. With Annie, he felt so loved and cared for, he felt special and more importantly, he felt like the only man in the world under her gaze and he liked that. With Annie, he can momentarily stop being Mister-Tough-Guy and soften up. Annie is just a whole different person from the rest because she's special, she's his girl and if fate wants to change that, then fate could go fuck itself because Jon is determined not to allow it to have the last laugh.

"…you brought all this, for me?" there was shock laced with amusement in Annie's voice, disturbing Jon's train of thoughts as he watched her look at the contents of the coffee table. The look on her face was almost similar to the looks little girls have when they see their Christmas presents under the Christmas tree.

Jon chuckled and nodded. "Rob thought that I should get you something romantic after the tour. He suggested lingerie and Sami suggested souvenirs but I remembered Jeff telling me once about how much you love chocolates," he informed her, watching her pick up the packets of chocolate on the coffee table.

"Oh Jon, I could kiss you all night because of this, even though all this chocolate will end up making me fat," she giggled, turning to look at him with a big grin. Jon felt like a man who had accomplished something big upon seeing that smile on her face.

"Well, go one then, sunshine, kiss me all night, I'd be more than happy to allow you to," shoving his hands at the back pocket of his jeans, Jon replied. He was expecting her to turn all red and look away bashfully, which would be her usual reaction to his cockiness but not tonight.

He watched her stand up, letting go of the bags of chocolates she held and with her hazel eyes glued onto his face, she approached him and before Jon knew it, Annie had leaped into his arms like a minx and did the bold move, kissing him hard while holding onto him in all fours. It felt great and Jon smirked against her lips as he tasted her intoxicating taste that he'll never get sick of.

Annie sighed in sheer bliss when Jon had gained control of their lip-lock, his tongue defeating hers in a battle of dominance. She felt her back hit the soft mattress as she continued to hold onto him, never wanting to let him go as she breathlessly ravished his lips. She was losing control but with Jon, she felt that it's okay to do so, that she'll be safe with him if she does. Feeling her clothing slip out of her body one by one as they end up in a pool of rejected mess on the floor, Annie broke away from Jon, giving him a gentle push. Realising where this moment of intimacy was headed, she wasn't sure how confident she is about the upcoming situation anymore.

"What's wrong, sunshine?" voice raspy and thick with lust, Jon asked her, blue eyes peering through her own eyes in search for an answer. Aware that she lay naked before him, Annie looked away, feeling a blush creep on her face. The last time Jon had seen her naked, which was when they skinny dipped, she didn't care less about his impression concerning her body but today was a different day and her feelings from him had escalated from just a silly school girl crush to an intimate feeling consisting of wants, needs and love.

"N-nothing, just feeling a little uncomfortable," she gave him a nervous laugh with her response. Jon tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and proceeded to take his shirt off, tossing the piece of clothing behind him and leaving Annie with the tempting sight of his naked torso, she chewed on her bottom lip. "J-Jon," she sat up, breaking her gaze from his hunky body, "do you really want to have sex with me?" she asked her question as if a woman disgusted by her own body. Jon was left scratching the back of his head, wondering if the question she threw him was a rhetorical question or a trick question.

"I've never seen a woman more beautiful," he told her, usually, he'd say those flowery words to get his way with women but as it left his mouth tonight, he was surprised with himself when he heard nothing but pure honesty in his own voice.

"Y-You think I'm beautiful? Even if my body's all fucked up on the inside?" her soft voice asked him and Jon wanted nothing but to pull her in his arms and comfort her and he did, he held her close, skin to skin.

"Of course I think you're beautiful Annie, from the moment I saw you singing on the stage, taking everyone's breath away. You're a fucking gem and never forget that," Jon whispered in her ear. "Nothing is beautiful without the flaws, sunshine and for you, your illness doesn't affect the way I see you." Annie wanted to cry upon hearing his words. She can feel that although Jon may never say it, and probably never admit it, saying the words he told her tonight was his own way of telling her that she has a special place in his heart, that he may love her just as much as she loves him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer as she kissed him once more. Gently and passionately, Jon returned the act of affection and as they kissed, she knew she wanted this as much as he does.

That night, they didn't have sex, instead, they made love. She had saved herself all these years in hopes that one day, she'd meet the right one, the man she'll love for the rest of her life, the man who'll put a ring around her finger and the man who will be the father of her children… if they have all the time they needed, Annie was almost positive that Jon would be that man. Jon held her tenderly and treated her so specially that it made Annie hope that they could share moments like this forever.

She fell asleep in his arms that night, a smile on her face that expressed her gratitude that kismet had allowed their paths to cross. If she haven't met Jon, Annie couldn't even imagine where her life would lead to right now, at this hard turning point of her life. She finally found a reason to stop her constant desire to travel like a wanderer and it came in the form of Jonathan Good.

okay, i'm probably being boring by not writing a descriptive sex scene or lemony goodness scene as you may call it, but i feel like by doing that, it'll kind of destroy the sweet and genuine romantic moment. also this story is rated T

^That's probably just me making up excuses because I'm terrible at writing graphic sexual moments. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter though. The end is coming woohoohooo
