A heart is a frigile thing..

[angelica]

Angelica laid in her bed staring up at the ceiling.. Days remained until the PPV and Angelica wondered what took Landon and Xander so long for them to show their faces.. She hadn’t heard anything from Pegasus either.. Would he be thinking of her as much as she was thinking of him.. Angelica turned to her side and brushed her long hair from her eyes as she glared out the bedroom window.. Sure she could try and get some sleep in but the heat was preventing her from doing so.. Angelica slid out of bed and put on a white silk robe before heading out of her room and down the stairs.. The clear night sky welcomed her along with it’s many stars as Angelica stepped out on to the porch.. Black Fury had noticed her as he stood in the field and came rushing over.. Angelica smiled tenderly and made her way to the fence..

Angelica : Do you think he is thinking about me..

Black Fury pressed his nose to her hand and Angelica softly brushed her hand over his nose and petted him gently..

Angelica : What do you think Black Fury.. Should I close the doors to my heart once more before we go to far.. Or.. Is he..

Angelica sighed and thought to herself.. Look at me.. I am talking to a horse about my love life.. Angelica turned around and walked back to the house.. Once inside she went into the kitchen and got herself a glass of ice-tea.. That Lina had been here was obvious as the fridge was stacked with food and drinks of high energy levels.. Angelica sat down and took a sip of the ice-tea and stared out the kitchen windows up towards the stars and wondered.. Should she let Pegasus come close to her heart.. Or should she rebuild the brick wall that protected her heart from those willing to crush it.. Should she go to him now.. Just do what Lina had told her and ask him.. Or should she wait and see.. It started to rain.. softly at first but soon after the rain came pouring down.. Anyone in this storm would be soaked to the bone.. Where was he.. Would he be laying in bed comfortably and asleep.. Or was he awake like her.. Was he thinking about her.. Like she was thinking of him.. Angelica ran her fingers through her hair out of frustration and cursed out loud..

Angelica : How could he have gone through the barricade I had put up around my heart.. He hadn’t done anything..

The frustration evident upon her face as she thought out loud..

Angelica : How did Jon break through.. I believed I had closed my heart of to all.. Using the looks I had as a deception to what I truly am..

Angelica got up and paced back and forth..

Angelica : He got to me.. But how.. Why.. And does he know..

Angelica shook her head and finished her tea before making her way back up the stairs and into her bedroom.. The storm had brought along cool air and had slowly replaced the moist heat for cool and fresh air.. Angelica stepped into her bed and pulled the satin sheets over her body.. Minutes later Angelica finally fell asleep totally exhausted..

~Dream~

Angelica stood in the ring and felt a rain of fists coming down upon her.. She recognized the face of the man striking her down.. Her ex-boyfriend.. The one man she had trusted with her body, mind and soul.. His jealous rage caused him to hurt her more then just a couple of hard hit blows.. Angelica trusted no man near her heart.. The rain of fists stopped and there she saw the image of a man striking down the man who broke her heart and her spirit.. An arm around her shoulder.. A gentle touch upon her face as she looks up and sees Pegasus standing over her.. A smile upon his face.. The image faded and Angelica found herself alone a brick wall reaching as far as the eye could see stood towering in front of her..

Angelica : Pegasus… Jon…

Angelica searched for him but couldn’t find him.. She pounded on the wall but to no avail.. Angelica collapsed down to her knees as she cried softly.. A brick fell down next to her.. Angelica looked at it while tears streamed down her face.. Another brick came crashing down to the floor.. Angelica got up and took a few steps back as she saw the wall come crumbling down.. Like the wall around her heart had melted away at Pegasus’s touch..
Angelica : How.. Why..

… : For he is pure of heart and of reason..

Angelica : Is he..

… : Don’t deny what you feel Angelica.. For he did nothing but yet he went through that thick wall you had build up around your heart..

Angelica : But can I trust my heart.. It has deceived me before..

… : When someone is always on your mind both awake and in your dreams and pure of heart as he is.. Then it is true Angelica.. Don’t deny yourself that..

Angelica nodded and knew why the familiar voice had said what she had been to afraid to say out loud for herself.. The wall had crumbled down to form a pile of rubble.. Angelica saw a figure of a man standing in the distance.. She smiled for she recognized him.. Just as she came closer everything turned white..

Angelica : Jon!!

Lina : Nice dream you had..

Angelica sat up in her bed looking Lina straight into her eyes before searching the room.. Angelica jumped out of bed and grabbed a pair of tight fitting jeans and a top.. She needed to go..

Lina : What are you doing..

Angelica : I have got to go..

Lina : But your training.. Your match with..

Angelica : I don’t care.. Not now.. I need to go somewhere..

Lina : Your going to see him..

Angelica spun around with a smirk upon her face and nodded..

Lina : Look just don’t forget that your promo airs at 5.. If you watch it in his arms or on the couch alone.. I would rather have it be in his arms.. But.. Aw well.. Go already..

Angelica ran towards Lina hugged her quickly before running out of her room.. Angelica made her way down the stairs real quick when she nearly fell and slid down a stair or 2.. She laughed as she regained her balance and jumped the last flights down.. Angelica ran to her truck and made her way inside.. She sighed as she started it up and drove away from the ranch house.. Once Angelica reached the main road the doubts came over her.. What if he didn’t want to see her.. What if she was being foolish and the love she felt was in her heart alone.. What if.. Angelica shook her head and drove on.. She had to say it.. It was eating away at her and she needed to tell him before her match.. Angelica made her way to the hotel and parked her truck near Pegasus’s truck.. His truck was there but was he.. Angelica gathered every bit of courage she had and stepped out of the truck and made her way into the hotel.. She noticed the weird look upon the employee’s face but ignored it for now..

Angelica : Excuse me Miss..

Receptionist : Can I help you Ma’am..

Angelica : I am looking for Jonathan Nordby..

Receptionist : Aw him.. Let me see..

Angelica received the room number and the directions to how to get there.. Angelica made her way through the hallways and felt her heart pounding in her chest.. She stood outside of his room and knocked on the door.. No reply.. Angelica knocked again a little louder this time and the door swung open.. Angelica frowned and made her way inside and closed the door behind her..

Angelica : Jon.. Hello.. Jon are you here..

Angelica realized that he wasn’t there.. What should she do wait.. She shook her head and sat down on the bed.. The smell of his cologne was still present in the room and Angelica laid back on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.. The room was hot and she noticed that the air-conditioning didn’t work.. She closed her eyes for a moment but how long the moment had lasted she didn’t know or realize when she felt a hand upon her cheek and a voice nearby..

Pegasus : Angel.. What are you doing in here..

Angelica : Jon.. I..

Pegasus laughed.. And Angelica blushed for a moment..

Angelica : I came to talk to you.. You weren’t in and I guess I fell asleep..

Pegasus : I guess you did.. What did you want to talk about..

Angelica smiled and slowly sat up.. She looked into the emerald green eyes of Pegasus and felt herself drowning in them..

Angelica : I had to see you.. You haven’t been out of my thoughts since we last saw each other.. I had to come.. I think I.. No.. I know I love you..

Angelica looked into Pegasus’s eyes and fear laid in her eyes.. Visible for all to see.. If he wants to he could crush her heart by the use of a few simple words.. Would he do that.. or..

TBC : Pegasus..

ooc : Good to see ya back.. I missed you..
