How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 56

*Jeff*

We came backstage and came up with this wicked plan for Morgan to scare Ethan. I told Matt about it and lets just say, for all he's done to me, Matt wanted to see Morgan scare the hell out of him.

I distracted Tyrus while Morgan went to go "talk" to Ethan we kept on distracting Tyrus. I swear he must've had a brain the size of a speck because we kept him distracted for a long time. Suddenly, there was a scream and a thump and we knew that we couldn't distract him anymore. Morgan walked out with a smirk on her face and we peaked in to see Ethan on the floor, passed out. Matt started snickering, I snickered lowly and Morgan started full blown laughing. Morgan described to Matt how Ethan looked so scared, that his eyes were about ready to pop out of his head.

Matt suddenly pretended to kidnap Morgan and we dashed down the hall laughing and screaming. After about 5 minutes, Matt put Morgan down in a secluded hallway and left us there alone. I took this opportunity to wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her on the cheek and neck. While I was kissing up her neck, her chest roared with giggling. I had to stop one time when Spud came up to talk to us.

"Thank you for not hitting me tonight. You did the right thing. I know that Ethan can be a total jackass and that he deserved what he got tonight," he said patting my arm.

"No problem. I've been wanting to hit him for a long time," I said smiling at him, which he gratefully returned.

"Well, I just came by to say thank you. See you around," Spud nodded, walking away.

I then turned my attention back to my beautiful wife. I grinned at her before I wrapped my arms around my waist before I kissed her neck again. She backed up slightly, and for a moment, I thought she was regretting doing something like this. She then smiled at me.

"Not here. I don't wanna be caught," she said blushing lightly.

"Don't worry, baby. No one will find us. Spud just happened to walk by, but that's all," I said going to kiss her again, but she backed up and blushed.

"But still," she said. She had her hands balled up slightly and her knuckles were on her lips in a very cute, shy/innocent girl look. I couldn't really resist even if I wanted to. I started laughing as I kept my arms around her waist.

"Okay, baby," I said kissing her forehead. "Then lets get out of here and go back to the hotel."

We wanted to celebrate my new-found freedom by doing something that I've done with dozens of girls, but never with Morgan. I should've shared my romantic side with her and only her. I kissed her softly and wrapped my arms around her as she smirked and giggled. I layed her out on the bed and shut the lights off as we went at it.

*After...well...ya know*

We were wrapped up in each others arms and I sighed contently. For the rest of the night, I watched her as she slept and at around 5:30 am, I fell asleep myself.

Later on, we grabbed all the EC3 shit that he embarrassed me with. We were gonna take the stuff out to the back of the arena after the preshow and do a bonfire to burn the shit. The goal was for me to feel some relief and feel peace with myself.

As we walked in, Ethan grabbed me by the arm and threw me up against the wall. "You are going to pay for quitting, Hardy. You're going to pay hard," he whispered, holding me up against my neck. He kicked me in the gut a few times before walking off.

Well...that was unexpected...
