She closely watched Ron flirt with a randomn woman, unlike him June had a hard time getting men to bat an eye at her. June felt someone behind her she slowly turned to the the person behind she desperately hoped it was Ron.
“Thomas”
“Juniper“
You know how much he loves you right?” Ice looked at June with a knowing look.
In Kazansky’s dreams she and Iceman both knew Ron would never date her, mostly because she doesn’t look like your average Marilyn Monroe. Juniper Elliott wasnt even close to Monroe in her opinion she’s more of a ugly duckling in her deep dreams would a man like Slider go for a woman like her.
She hated alot things about herself the glasses, her small height and most importantly her stutter she’s gets when Ron comes around her.
The last thing he needs his a woman like myself” June solemnly replied. She allowed a tear to slip down her face, seeing this Ice pulled her into a side hug.
If he doesn’t make a move, I’ll beat the shit out of him” Ice joked softly, which in turn earned a small mouse like chuckle from June.
Your right , I’ve got this”. With that Juniper got up with a big ass smile on her face ,feeling more confident then she’s ever had.
If she couldn’t have Ron , June would just go with the float and get another guy. Their more men in the sea.
Juniper and a man she pulled from the bar named Devon danced to together. His hands slid down to her hips as they danced to wackly to Boyz To Men, she and him danced for felt like hours.
“See ya later J” their he went walking out of the bar leaving her behind just like the others before him.
When was she going to find her Prince Charming?
Juniper Elliott sat down banging her head against the table attempting to knockout her feelings for Ron.
Speak of the devil. “sweetheart you gonna give yourself a concussion”
Could her night get any worse, Juniper slowly raised her head meeting the man she loved.
Ron smirked, looking at her with fondness.“Junie, let me take ya home” he asked her
I-im fine Ron no thanks”
“Sorry darlin im sure as hell not letting you walk home this late at night” Ron did have a point, June mostly walked everywhere and had to catch rides because her car broken couple a weeks ago.
“O-okay if your sure” she swallowed sharply, June felt her face burn and stomach twist into knots.
“Lead the way Ms. Elliott” Juniper and Ron walked to pickup his truck, he opened the door for her , earning a soft thank you from June.
“So Elliott, what happened with you and that man back in the bar?” Ron asked, switching to the slow lane.
“He only wanted sex and nothing else” she tipped her head down, taking her hands and fiddling with them.
“He what” Ron said angrily, no man was going to hurt June and get away with it.
“its fine Ron, his family is to keen on the idea of him being with me anyway” Ron heard the hint June was hinting at. His hands grabbed the steering wheel tightly.
His face softened when he saw out of corner of his eyes of June facing the window. He gently grabbed her left hand taking it into his right hand.
“I love you Juniper Elliott” he whispered quietly, as he pulled into his apartment complex.
Her head dropped sleepily , tugging Ron’s aviator jack tighter. His jacket made her look tinier then she normally does the jacket was swallowing her.
He’s damn sure making her his wife if thats last he thing does.
Juniper Maude Elliott finally got the man she wanted for so long, Ron Kerner made her his wife at the end of 89.
Juniper Kerner, she liked the way it rolled of her tongue , she also loved the way her Ron talked to their baby from the outside.
Juniper“June” Elliott managed to tame Ron Kerner, most say that would never happened but she did with ease.
She smiled into her husband chest thirty three years later and he’s still the man she married.
