KATELYN'S POV

It was Christmas Eve and I couldn't believe that I had forgotten to get Drew a gift. We had both agreed that we weren't going to get each other gifts, but I knew Drew. He would get me something regardless. I drove to the local mall, stupid mistake I know, and finally managed to find a parking space. As I got AJ out of his car seat and into his stroller, a woman honked her horn at me, obviously thinking that I was leaving.

'Hey, hurry up and get your brat in the car, some of us have to get to work,' she yelled out of her car window.

'I'm not leaving,' I replied calmly. 'I just got here.'

'I just saw you put your bags in the trunk.'

'No, I just got my son's stroller out of the trunk.'

'I don't have time for this shit. Hurry up and move.'

'Listen lady, I just got here and am not leaving. Go find somewhere else to park.' I finished getting AJ fastened in and walked toward the stores, clicking the alarm button on my car keys. I stashed my keys in AJ's diaper bag and continued into the mall. The first place I headed was the music store. I had seen a Les Paul guitar, signed by Slash, in there a few weeks ago and prayed that it was still there. Entering the store, I was greeted by a blue haired girl, around 19.

'Hi, welcome to The Vinyl Countdown. I'm Cary. Is there anything I can help you with today?'

'Yes actually. I came in about a month ago and you had a guitar that was signed by Slash. I wanted to buy it my husband as a Christmas present. Do you still have it at all?'

'Oh, I'm sorry. Somebody came in yesterday and bought it.'

'Damn it!'

'Who is the gift for? Your husband, did you say?' I nodded. 'What sort of bands is he into?'

'He loves Guns n Roses, Aerosmith, Metallica, Zeppelin.'

'Is he a Bon Jovi fan, by any chance? We have a platinum record of Slippery When Wet that is signed by the band.'

'Oh, he would love that.'

'Follow me.' I followed the girl, pushing AJ's stroller through the store to the checkout desk in the back. The girl took a frame off the wall and handed it to me.

'This is amazing. How much is it?'

'It is $2500. It does come with a certificate of authenticity. And I'll throw in the gift wrapping for free.' It was a little more than what I wanted to pay, but I hadn't seen Drew in 3 weeks, since my retirement, and I knew that he would love it.

'I'll take it.' Cary took the frame back off me and began to bubble wrap it.

'Say, do I know you from somewhere?' she asked as she taped up the bubble wrap.

'I used to be in a band. Our Hands Are Tied.' She gasped.

'Holy shit. Yes! Wow, you look so different. You got married, did you say?'

'Yeah. My husband is a wrestler. '

'Oh, that's cool. My brother is a huge wrestling fan. I have basic knowledge of it, but not an expert. Holy cow, today just got better.' I followed her line of sight to find Joe had just walked in. I gave him a wave and he made his way over.

'Hey sweetie,' he said, giving me a kiss on the cheek. 'I hope you didn't spend too much on that gift for me.'

'You're married to Roman Reigns?' Cary asked, looking at me like I was the best thing ever.

'No, Joe is my neighbour and a very good friend. Drew McIntyre is my husband.'

'Ah, the Scottish hottie? Damn, I envy you girl.' She finished gift wrapping the frame for me and I handed over my charge card.

'You wanna grab some lunch?' Joe asked me, taking the frame from Cary.

'Yeah, sure.' I took my card back from Cary and stashed it in my bag. 'Thank you for all your help Cary.'

'No problem. If you ever need anything, you know where I am.'

'Thanks. Hey, do you follow me on Twitter?'

'Yeah, of course.'

'Tweet me later and I'll follow you back. I may need a babysitter sometimes.'

'That would be great. Thanks. Have a lovely Christmas.'

'You too. See you soon.' I manoeuvred AJ's stroller put of the shop and I followed Joe to the food court.. 'What you in the mood for?'

'Chinese?'

'Sure. What do you fancy? I'm buying.'

'I'll grab a 4 piece deal with noodles, shrimp balls, chicken balls and special fried rice.'

'Ooh, that sounds good. I might go for that too. Then I can share some with AJ. You want a drink?'

'A bottle of Gatorade would be perfect. I'll take the little man and grab us a table.' I turned and walked toward the Chinese kiosk as Joe went and found us a table. I joined the queue and took my phone out of my pocket. Drew had sent me a text.

Husband🖤: I might be home later than I thought. Got diverted 2 Chicago, then have a connection in Atlanta. This storm has caused chaos xxx

Me: No worried baby. Get here when you can. I love you xoxo

Husband🖤: I can't wait 2 b home with u and AJ. And I can't wait 2 have my cock buried deep inside u xxx

Me: Is Daddy Claymore horny? 😏😏😏 xoxo

Husband🖤: U know it baby xxx

Me: What do you plan on doing to me? xoxo

'Do you wanna come forward?' the girl behind to counter called. I moved forward and placed my order, two 4 item boxes, Egg rolls, sweet and sour sauce, a Gatorade and a Mountain Dew. After i paid, I was ushered down the line. As I was waiting for my food to be prepared, Drew had text me back.

Husband🖤: Wait and see 😜 xxx

My number was called so I picked up my tray and walked over to the seating area, looking for Joe. When I spotted him at a booth in the corner, I meandered my way through the maze of tables and set the tray down on the table.

'So, what are you doing for the holidays?' I asked Joe as we tucked in to our food.

'I was meant to be going to spend a few days with my folks, but I have a hospital appointment on the 26th, so it's just gonna be me on my own. Galina isn't letting me see the kids because she's taken them to Fort Lauderdale to visit her family.'

'Why don't you come and have Christmas dinner with us? It's just going to be me, Drew and AJ. I don't mind cooking, so long as you make some of that famous stuffing of yours.'

'You sure Drew won't mind?'

'Of course he won't. And I can even drive you to the hospital the next day, if you like. You shouldn't be doing this alone.' I reached across the table and squeezed his hand.

'You're too good for this world Katelyn Galloway.' I dipped my egg roll in the sauce pot and took a bite.

'Just being a good friend.'

After lunch, Joe and I did a little bit more shopping and then we decided to call it a day because he was getting tired. I could see how the chemotherapy was taking it out of him, zapping him of energy. Oh yeah, Galina had filed for divorce shortly after Joe found out his cancer was back. I already hated the bitch, but this just proved that she was an evil woman. I pulled up in my driveway, got AJ out of his car seat, trying hard not to wake him, when Joe walked up the path.

'I thought you could use a hand with your bags,' he smiled, opening the trunk and getting my shopping bags out. He closed the trunk again and we headed for the front door.

'Thanks Joe. Would you mind watching AJ for a few hours later? I have to go and pick Drew up from the airport and I think little Mister is out for the count.' I unlocmed the door and we walked into the house. I closed the door behind us and turned on the heating.

'Sure, I'd love to.'

'Here's a thought. Why don't you stay over tonight? It is Christmas Eve and I don't like the idea of you being alone. We usually just watch Christmas movies and eat junk anyway.'

'Yeah, that would be cool. I'll pop back home later and grab some stuff. Where do you want these?' I headed for the stairs to put AJ down for a nap.

'You can bring them up to my bedroom, I need to wrap them before Drew comes home.' I walked up the stairs, AJ still asleep in my arms, and into the nursery. Putting AJ in his crib, I grabbed the baby monitor, left the room and headed into mine. Joe was sat on the bed, staring at the canvas on the wall of Drew and I in Vegas the night we got married. I sat down next to him and he put his hand on my thigh.

'That should've been me,' he said sadly.

'Joe, in a different life, I would say yes, but things haven't changed. You know I love you, but I love Drew more.' Joe turned and kissed me fully on the mouth. No matter how much my mind was screaming at me to push him away, I couldn't. Instead I melted into his arms and kissed him back. Before either of us knew what was going on, we were undressing each other and sending clothes and pillows flying around the room. I hated myself, but in that moment, all I could think about was how much I wanted Joe. Joe pulled me onto his lap and I began to grind on his lap. I could feel his erection rubbing against my clit and I had to stifle a moan.

'Let it all out baby,' Joe said into my hair. He pushed my panties to one side and filled me completely.

'Oh God, Joe,' I breathed, my eyes rolling into the back of my head. Fuck, I didn't realise he was so big. Not as big as Drew, but still impressive. Joe began to pump in and out of me and I met his every thrust. He ran his hands up and down my sides, resting his hands on my ass.

'Fuck, Katelyn, you are so beautiful. I wish you were mine.'

'God Joe, don't stop.' He picked up the pace and before long I was reaching the precipice and ready for a release. 'Oh my, jeez, oh God! Joe, that's it, right there.' After another minute, I was done, I let my orgasm take hold and fell into Joe's chest. I felt him cum inside me and then he let me climb off him. I grabbed my silk kimono and slipped it on. I walked into the bathroom to clean myself up.

'Damn, I haven't fucked like that in a while,' Joe laughed. I looked at myself in the mirror and felt disgusted with myself. I had just fucked one of my, and my husband's, best friends. In the bed that I share with my husband. 'Hey, what's wrong momma?' I hadn't heard Joe walk into the bathroom. He had gotten himself dressed, his button up shirt still open.

'I can't believe I just did that. I'm a horrible person.'

'Are you forgetting that Drew slept with my soon to be ex wife?'

'No, but two wrongs don't make a right.'

'You're saying that it was a mistake?'

'Yes.. No... I don't know. We both wanted it to happen...'

'And now I can die a happy man, knowing that I got to fuck the woman of my dreams.'

'Oh really?' came Drew's voice from the doorway.
