Behind the desk

"No, I'd prefer it that way for now," Nolee admitted.

John blinked. "O-Oh... okay then." He said quietly.

Nolee teared up, "I'm devoted to Wade, John. I'll do whatever it takes to make him love me and keep that love..."

"If it came between me and him, who would you choose?" John asked.

Nolee bit her lip, "I told you before I'd choose you..."

John nodded slowly. "Right." He whispered. "Well... I'll make you reservations at a hotel." He said quietly and went over to his phone.

Nolee broke into tears, leaving the condo without Wade.

Wade turned to John, "What happened in there?" When he saw John approach him with an evil gaze, he gulped, "Wh...whats going on?"

John clenched his jaw. "Nolee wants to leave. You best go after her before I snap again." He hissed quietly. "And if anything happens in that match... I will destroy you. Now get out and go after her." He growled.

Wade took off after Nolee, holding onto her arm. Nolee turned, "What!?"

Shawn hugged John, "I'm sooo sorry!"

John pressed close to Shawn. "Why are you sorry?"

"WHat did John say to you? Did he hurt you?"

"Your close to tears babe," Shawn pointed out.

Nolee shook her head, "Why me? When you can have any British high class woman you want, why a low class American?"

"Because... I love you. I want you. British high class woman are stuck up. You're down to earth and real" Wade said softly.

John sniffled. "Am not..." He whimpered.

"John said you and the Corre were no longer strong without...without Ezekial and said you guys coudl get fired soon..." Nolee frowned, "if you did...we wouldn't get to see each other all the time."

Shawn smiled, "What happened in there?"

John wiped his eyes. "We got into an argument... about the match and how the Corre worked. I threatened to get Wade and his little friends in trouble if the hurt you like they did to everyone else." He whispered.

Wade sighed. "I could still travel with you. I'd still be with you."

Shawn smiled, "I can take care of them babe."

"But...but from what I hear you love this..." Nolee frowned.

"I do, and I love you more." Wade said.

John nodded. "I'm exhausted... mentally. All this crap and drama, it's tiring." He muttered.

Nolee smiled, "Wade...I want to meet the other members of the Corre..."

Shawn smiled, "Take a few days off babe."

John smiled and sat in the floor. "I'm gonna take a nap right here." He murmured, laying down on his hardwood floor and drifting to sleep.

Wade smiled. "Sure. You can meet them whenver you like. They're here in town."

"Right there in the floor?" laughed Shawn.

Nolee nodded, "Now?"

John nodded. "Yep. I'm colled down now. And I'm gonna nap right here." He sighed, closing his eyes. Get me my fur blanket." He demanded.

Wade nodded. "If I talk to John, I'm sure he'll let them come over..."

Shawn went and got John his fur blanket, "Want me to make dinner while you sleep?"

Nolee shook her head, "We're getting a hotel."

"Yes, thank you tiger..." He murmured, snuggling under his fur blanket as he fell asleep in the floor.

Wade shrugged. "Okay, fine with me."

Shawn smiled, starting in on the salad for dinner.

Nolee sighed, "We should try to stay though..so...you and John be nice?"

Wade sighed and nodded. "I'll try. I understand he's pregnant and... hormonal." He said.

Nolee and Wade walked back inside where John was sleeping on the floor. She smiled and laid next to him, cuddling up. "Good idea...the floors cool..."
