A/N: I needed some cheering up so I wrote this for myself. In my own lalaland this is how it really is. Disturbing isn’t it? XD



“Son of a bitch!”

Steven saw David’s eyebrows shoot up a second before a crystal vase went soaring throw the air, tulips and all, and crashed against the wall. All that was left of the once-intact clear vase was shattered glass soaked in water and the remnants of the pinkish purple flowers.

“I didn’t say that you had—”

“I don’t give a fuck what you said I didn’t have to do Ryan! I don’t have to do anything!”

Steven and David watched as the legendary player backed slowly out of the living room with his hands held high. Who would have thought a man that could handle hundreds of fearful defenders would be afraid of a five foot four woman?

“No you don’t love but—” Ryan tried again but was once again interrupted.

“But nothing! Don’t tell me what to do Ryan.”

“Okay, I’m sorry!”

Steven ducked his head so that his best friend wouldn’t see him trying not to laugh. He knew that she had a temper, he knew it very well, and he knew how malicious that tongue could be.

“Don’t think I don’t see you Gerrard and you too Beckham.”

Stevie ducked his head even more in reprimand while David tried not to laugh. He understood what Ryan was going through, it wasn’t easy to deal with a hormonal woman. Victoria could be bloody awful sometimes.

“Love, please…” Ryan started in a pleading tone with his hands lowered to by his side. “Please don’t be upset, I don’t like seeing you this way.”

She turned and looked at Ryan. “Are you going to tell me what I should or should not do anymore?”

Ryan gave her a pained look. “Please love, don’t…”

“Are you?!”

Ryan sighed and then did what Steven would never have dared risk. Ryan moved closer, albeit slowly, and put his arms around her carefully and hugged her close. Steven and David heard him say something but couldn’t hear the actual words.

Ryan brushed his lips by her ear softly and held her close despite her trying to push him away. He whispered softly and rubbed her back lightly.

“Please don’t be upset with me princess. I love you terribly and I just don’t want you to get hurt. I love you too much for anything to ever happen to you. I would never forgive myself…”

She sighed and slumped into his arms and he held her closer. She muttered into his chest. “You restrict me; you don’t let me do anything at all.”

Ryan kissed her temple softly and rubbed her back. “I just don’t want you to stress yourself love.” She leaned into him and felt his hand move from her waist to rest over her abdomen. “If she has your temper… Lord help the rest of us.”

“It’s not that bad!” She replied indignantly and he just chuckled and kissed her softly.

“If you say so love.” Ryan smiled and kissed her head lightly.

“Okay, now that you two have kissed and made up, can we get back to playing cards?”

All Steven got in response was a pillow to the face.
