Wicked Game (Dean Ambrose Fan Fic)

Try Again

I was really anxious to get back home. I was stuck in traffic and this was the first day that I had to leave Tyler at home with a new babysitter. I was so freaked out about leaving him home alone with anyone that I didn't know well or trust. I let Jon handle hiring this girl and all the questions. He made me feel a little better about it by reminding me that a nurse would be coming by every afternoon to check on him. He still needed some after care and since Jon was on the road and I work full time the hospital is sending a nurse every afternoon to make sure everything was going well with his rehabilitation. I finally made it to my exit and practically sped my way home. I rushed up the stairs and walked through the door. I set my keys and purse on the table and noticed Colby sitting on the couch. I slowed my pace and stopped behind the couch

"What are you doing here?"

"Well, hi to you too!" he laughed

I smiled "sorry. Hi, Colby. Why are you here?"

"I asked him to come and watch Tyler for us so we can go out."

I ran over to Jon and gave him a hug. He squeezed me tight and kissed my cheek. I missed him while he was gone, but I always do. I took a step back and realized he was dressed to go out. I smirked at him and went into the bedroom to change. I put on a new dress and shoes I bought on a whim last month and curled my hair and did my make up. I took my clutch out to the kitchen to load the essentials in it. I felt arms around my waist and I smiled

"How do you expect me to behave myself if you're dressed like that?" he whispered in my ear

I blushed "Well, you better find a way."

I went into Tyler's room to check on him. He was sound asleep so I left and Jon gave Colby some last minute instructions. He took my hand and we walked down to the car. I looked over and smiled. Jon caught me smiling and smiled back. I quickly looked away and blushed. He still gives me butterflies when he's being sweet. He took my hand and kissed it. I smiled. I was really hoping that he was serious this time. We still hadn't talked about what he wanted. Maybe that's what tonight was for. I had no idea. I was just rolling with it. I knew in my heart what I wanted so it was easy for me. We went to eat at Ciao Italia for dinner. I was excited. I'd driven by the place several times, but never actually stopped in to eat. I reached for the handle of the car door to get out when Jon gently grabbed my left arm. I looked over at  him and smiled. 

"What?"

"You look really beautiful tonight."

"Thanks. You look nice too.  Anything else on your mind? I can tell you're trying to say something, but can't get it out"

"Ashley...I...never mind. Let's just go eat and then we'll talk"

I felt like dinner was kind of awkward. He had something on his mind and that had me distracted. I wanted to know what he was thinking about over there. I kept staring at him looking for answers that just weren't there. The way he acted in the car. He was so good at bluffing though for all I know there's nothing wrong and he's just messing with me. He reached across the table and took my hand. I smiled and he smiled back. His thumb ran over my engagement ring and he slid it off my finger. A wave of panic took over as he took it and put it in his coat pocket. My eyes welled up and I ripped my hand away and excused myself to the bathroom. I shut the door and locked it and started to uncontrollably sob. My make up was running, but it didn't matter. I couldn't believe what was happening. I wanted to crawl into a hole a die. There was a knock at the door. I took some paper towel and cleaned my face and unlocked the door. Jon was standing outside the door. I ripped my purse from him and stormed out to the car. He followed trying to catch up to me. He finally caught up to me and grabbed me by the arm and spun me around. He cupped my face in his hands and pressed his lips to mine. I pushed him away and turned towards the door. I just wanted to leave. He took my hand and pulled me back

"Ash it's not what you think"

"Then what is it? Because right now you don't want to know what I think"

"I'm not going to do this here, but please Ashley don't be upset. It really isn't what you think."

He opened the car door and I sat down, buckled my seat belt, crossed my arms and stared out the window. We drove for a while, but it was dark and I couldn't tell where. Every so often I'd quickly wipe a tear away, but I never looked over in his direction. I'd hear him sigh every now and again, but I never looked over. He stopped the car and got out. My door opened and I reluctantly got out. I stood there with my head down. I didn't want to do anything more on this date. I wanted to go home and crawl into bed and forget this night ever happened. He stood in front of me and put his hand under my chin and gently lifted my head

"You always jump to conclusions Ashley. It's not what you think."

He held my hand and got down on one knee. He was proposing all over again and now I felt like a fool.

"Ashley I took this last week to really think about us and what I wanted. It's always been the same. I want you and only you. I love you.  I know I've hurt you and done and said things that I shouldn't, but you really are my everything Ashley. My life sucks without you. It really does. I want us to be together forever. No more games. No more lies. You're too important to me to ever let go.  I'm so sorry for everything. I love you Ashley...with all my heart. I want to try this again...will you marry me?"

I smiled "Yes"

He reached in his pocket and gave me back my ring. I put it on my finger and leaned in and kissed him. He stood up and kissed back. We started making out and he lifted me onto the hood of the car. My legs wrapped around his hips. He pressed against me as he trailed kisses down my neck.

"Jon...aren't there gators out here?" I asked breathless

He stopped for a second and thought about it  "probably"

He started kissing me again and I pulled back

"I kind of don't want to be eaten by one"

"Then we'll make it quick"
