Simon's over at your place, you guys are having take out and watching a silly movie. His head on your lap as you massage his scalp with your nails.
"Expecting anyone, Love?" He rumbles sitting up.
"No, who'd be ringing the bell so late?" You say glancing at the clock. It's 9:30pm.
Simon makes his way to the door. He has a rule about you answering the door after dark, "Ya never open it to anyone but me."
He looks through the peephole and scofts, turning back to you with a smirk on his face.
You've told Simon about Jay. He was a shitty boyfriend who thought he was God's gift to women (Simon quickly proved otherwise) and was never happy no matter what you did. On top of that, he freeloaded off of you for months before you kicked him to the curb.
"Hell does he want?" You frown standing up, halting your steps to the door when Simon raises a hand to stop you. "I haven't spoken to him in almost a year."
Simon unlocks the door and swings it open. Clearly Jay wasn't expecting a giant of a man to answer instead of you. He fumbles with his words and takes a few steps back, eyes wide. After a few beats, Simon grunts.
Jay looks past Simon and spots you. Only for Simon to move into his line of sight.
"I ain't gonna ask again."
"I..I didn't know. She, she wasn't supposed-"
Simon laughs, "Wot, didn't think she'd forget about ya so soon?"
You fiddle with your hands, purposely avoiding any involvement with the current situation. Jay stutters, tongue tied.
Simon continues, "Coming er so late, like you were expecting something. Was it gonna be the whole, sorry babe I've changed speal?"
"Who the fuck are you!?" Jay spits out at him.
Simon tilts his head to the side, eyes narrowing. You don't even have to see his face to know how intimidating he looks.
"Im her fuckin husband, come round here again and no one will find your body."
Jay has never moved so fast in all his life as he did running down the hall away from your door. Simon shuts and relocks the door. Herding you back to the couch, he pulls you into his lap. A kiss to your temple has you melt against him.
"So my dear Husband...." You giggle out, "should we finish the movie or call it a night?"
His big hands find your hips. His body heat seeps in through your pajamas. A smile tugs at his lips when you peer up at him.
"Well, Wife, you need your rest before we sign papers in the morning."
"Hmmm, Mrs. Riley huh?" You feel him tense underneath you. "I like the ring to it. Does it come with any benefits?" You tease.
"Comes with anything you fuckin want."
You share a kiss before dragging him to bed.
