Chapter 38- Years Gone By

~ 3 Years Later: October 4, 2021~

"Jon."

I jumped on his back and he started laughing.

"Hello, beautiful."

He pulled me off his back and I was face to face with him. He leaned in, ready to kiss me. I put a finger on his lips.

"No, no. You have to wait for that."

"Come on, Marci. You're killing me."

I laughed and got in the ring. Today, I was practicing with Jon. I had a big match coming up and Jon was helping me train.

"Alright, I want you to throw me."

"Throw you? You're heavy."

"Thanks."

"I didn't mean it like that. You know what I meant."

"It will be fine, just throw me."

I sighed and grabbed one of his arms. I picked him up and he jumped. I threw him and he landed on his back. I went over and put a foot on his stomach.

"1, 2, 3! And the winner is Marci Jenkins!"

He smirked and pulled my leg out from under me. I fell onto my back right next to him and I started laughing. He started laughing too. Soon enough, I saw him above me. I looked at him and even after a year, I still couldn't get over how gorgeous he actually was.

"Do I get a kiss now?"

I pushed him away and he fell on his back. I sat on his stomach and leaned down. We started kissing him and I couldn't think I could be any happier. He pulled away and sat up.

"I want to ask you something."

"Ok."

He cleared his throat and got out of the ring. I was so confused. He ran over to his duffel bag and started playing some cheesy romantic song. He seemed nervous as he sat back down in front of me. His hands couldn't stop shaking. He sat up on his knees.

"I know this probably isn't the best place to ask this but I can't take it anymore. I have to ask."

"Ok. Jon, what is the matter?"

He pulled out a box and opened it. Inside, sat a diamond ring.

"Jon..."

"I love you, Marci. Will you marry me?"

Tears filled my eyes. "Yes."

"Really?"

I nodded and Jon put the ring on my finger. I pulled him to me and we started kissing. Training ended early as I continued to kiss him. I don't know how long we stayed in that ring just talking and laughing.

"Rings are for wrestling."

We stopped kissing and I saw Joe smirking.

"Joe, she said yes."

And then he smiled. "I knew she would. I told you there was nothing to worry about."

"Joe, you knew?"

"Of course I did. I helped the idiot pick out the ring. He was scared you were going to say no."

I looked at Jon. "Why would you think that?"

"I just thought, you know, that you wouldn't want to."

"Of course I do. I love you."

He smiled and he helped me out of the ring.

I looked at the time and realized we wasted an hour. "Well, I have to go. I've got a signing before RAW. I will see you two later."

They nodded and I started getting my things. I could still hear them talking as I was getting my stuff. They were trying to be quiet but completely failing.

"You hear that you know who is coming back tonight?"

"No, I didn't hear that. Does he want us to come and pick him up?"

"He asked for me to come pick him up."

"Not me? He is still angry?"

"Seems like it."

Jon scoffed. "It isn't my fault."

"Yeah, well, I definitely wouldn't show up. He would be really upset if he knew about the engagement."

"So, I'm supposed to just, what? Sacrifice my happiness for him? I've done that too many times already."

"I know that. And I'm sure he knows that too. I would just like to avoid drama today as much as possible. Please, Jon."

"Fine, but if he starts something, don't expect me to just stand there and take it."

"Fine. Thank you."

I kissed Jon before walking out the door. Colby was coming back into town? Great. I hadn't seen Colby in a year. After I started dating Jon, tensions between Colby and Jon went to an all time high. I remember when Jon told him. It was awful. Then Colby got a really bad injury that took him out for a long time. He had been scheduled to come back within six to nine months but then his recovery didn't go so well so they extended it to now. It had been about a year since Colby had been in the WWE. The last time I saw him... it was terrible. I was nervous to see him again. Especially with me being now engaged to Jon. I wasn't sure how he would handle it. I sighed and got in my cab. I couldn't worry about that now. And as much as I tried to forget it, it still sat in the back of my mind.
