Only Temporary

Are You Crazy?

Later that night

Angie POV

Esmee and I had decided to speak to Stephen and Drew the same night that way we would be ready if the other needed backup convincing our respective other halves.

I watch intently as my husband emerges from the bathroom towel wrapped tightly around his waist and his torso glistening with water droplets, I bite my lip as he flips his hair back out of his face and it takes me a moment to remember what I'm supposed to be doing.

As he sits down on the bed I ease myself down behind him and place gentle kisses along his shoulder.

"Mmm after I replay of last night?" He chuckles

"Actually I have something I'd like to ask you" I say moving my kisses to his neck

"Well you better make it quick" he says closing his eyes "becuase what I'm wanting to do right now doesn't require words"

"How would you feel about training Esmee?" I ask continuing to kiss his neck

"What?" He says swinging round to look at me "Are you serious?" He asks

"Yeah she wants a match with Carmella" I say "so she wants you and Stephen to help her train"

"Are you crazy!?" We here Stephen shout through the wall

"I'm guessing she just asked him" Drew chuckles "so why does she want a match with Carmella?" He asks

"Well she came to see me today" I explain "turns out it was her that went to Stephanie about you, she said that I wasn't good enough for you, that you didn't want this marriage or the baby and I was making you miserable"

"That bloody woman" he growls "you know I wish I'd never touched her"

"You slept with her?" I ask

"Aye once way before you came along" he says "I regretted it straight after, I was drunk it shouldn't have happened but she has been after me ever since"

"Anyway Esmee walked in on the conversation, she defended me i actually thought she was going to knock her out" I laugh "and that's why she wants the match"

"Ok first things first" he says taking my hands in his "pay no mind to a word she said it's all lies. I love you Angel more than I have ever loved anyone and that will never change. You and this baby are the best thing to happen to me and I hope there will be many more after this one. I regret nothing when it comes to you not a single damn thing and don't you ever forget that"

"I know, I faltered for a moment but I knew in my heart it wasn't true" I smile and he smiles back at me.

"Now with regards to Esmee, if she can convince Stephen to help her then I will be happy to help aswell"

"Angie are you in there?" Stephen calls through the door and Drew goes to answer it

"Hey Stephen" I smile

"Has she told you about the crazy idea she's had?" He asks mentioning to Esmee

"She has and I support her 100%" I say "I assume she told you what happend?"

"Yeah she did" he says turning to Esmee "are you really sure about this baby? The last thing I want is you getting hurt"

"Im sure Stephen. You should have heard the things she tried telling Angie. She cant fight for herself now for obvious reasons." She says turning to look at me

"No offence darling but the pregnancy and all." She says

"None taken" I smile and she turns back to Stephen

"Look it's sweet that you worry about me. Its shows that you care and thats just one of many reasons why I love you but I know that with you and Drews help, I will be fine." She says "Someone has to teach that bitch a lesson and I am more than happy to do the job. I mean imagine if it was us in their place. I would want a friend to have my back, so I will have hers. Please babe, would you help me?"

"I must be out of my mind" he sighs "but yes I'll help you"

"And I'll help too" Drew says "I agree some one needs to teach her a lesson"

"Thank you both of you" Esmee smiles wrapping her arms around Stephens neck and kissing him

"Esmee I want to thank you for defending my Angel today, it means alot to me. I'm glad she has you to be there for her when I can't be" he smiles "and by the time we are done with you Carmella won't know what hit her"

"Not just her. The both of you." Esmee says "What she did hurt both of you. I dont take kindly to people hurting my friends. I would have done this even if she had only hurt you Drew. Now, lets go see what my unathletic ass got."

"Easy tiger" Drew chuckles "we'll meet tomorrow morning in the gym, for now get a good night's sleep, so hands off for tonight Stephen"

"No chance" Stephen laughs "but don't worry I'll make sure she gets a decent amount of sleep"

"See you in the morning and thank you again Drew" Esmee smiles before her and Stephen leave

Drew turns to me and placing his hand on my hips he pulls me towards him so that the only thing between us is my bump.

"Thank you for doing this" I say looking up at him "it means alot to her"

"Aye I know and mark my words Carmella is going to regret messing with my Angel" he says "becuase nobody messes with my wife and gets away with it"
