(A/n: Okay another lovely update for you all, and during Raw… I'm not sure if anyone else noticed it, but Jeff seemed a little fatigue during his match with H, I mean he still performed well but he seems slightly off beat, no? BTW the love of my life just came on (HE LOOKED FUCKING HOT!) and said he would end Ric Flair's career tonight, I hope so, and I know he's capable of doing it, but the creative team are assholes and don't know went to cut an old dog loose. I respect Ric Flair and he is a pillar in WWE history, but I'm sick and tired of seeing him in the ring! He's an old bag of dirt! Also, big shout out to x3BiggestCodyRhodesFanEverx3, her baby is in the ring right now (cody)… Okay there's a few things you need to know before reading this chapter, there are some text message conversations and those are italicized, also the cell phone that I personally have is discussed in this chapter, and with good reason. The phone I have is fucking awesome, its a maroon Sprint Treo 755 palm. It is better than a blackberry, I know because I had a black berry for one day and I was bored with it and I made my daddy take it back and get me a better phone because the black berry was stupid… It's a touch screen and it does anything you can imagine from music to live tv, to email, excellent web site viewing, instant messaging, and of course text messaging, it keeps your text messages up like a regular instant message chat and saves everything for several months at a time as opposed to the usual inbox and outbox on normal phones. So I explained that so you guys will understand what the hell I'm talking about soon! Well this chapter is the bridge back into the real world for Maria and John. I know that you all are still on high from the kiss and the massage but the severity of this chapter means more than all of that, and you all will find out why… I want to thank everyone who added me to their favorite stories and their story alerts, and also to everyone who reviewed the last chapter: LULUCENA7cenazlilbabeethugJClvrMariaCenaFanxAttitudex, and KageMori. Everything that ALL of you do is highly appreciated! Now comes the little trend that I have been doing as of late, (Drum roll please….) Recommended reading! This time I have a few recommended readings which are: "The Champion and The Diva", "Razor's Edge" and "Edge The musical" All by x3BiggestCodyRhodesFanEverx3, Her stories are kick ass and "the champion and the diva" puts me through a lot of emotions! I also recommend checking out all of the stories by xAttitudex especially "These Dreams" and "Such opposites" those stories are AhMazing! Okay enough babbling, on with the story Read Review and as always Enjoy!)
"CHANGE!" Tera yelled worriedly.
Before they got off the set, Klareese walked over to them. "That was awesome, I would have let you two keep going but once you guys got really into it I couldn't get anymore good shots, but I did get a few though." Klareese said with a cackle before walked off. John and Maria didn't have time to speak because Tera came on set and scooted Maria off.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?" She shrieked at her once they were inside Maria's dressing room.
"YES! YES I AM! I cannot believe that just happened!" Maria exclaimed, she was a bundle of nerves, she didn't know if she was happy, or afraid, or excited, she just didn't know. But she did know that she loved the way John's hands felt on her ass and the way his tongue felt in her mouth and the way his lips felt against her own.
"If one of the set hands recorded that and Torrie sees it then you two are in trouble!" Tera exclaimed to her friend.
"But you just said earlier that it didn't matter!" Maria looked at her friend confusedly like a lost puppy.
"Yeah for a PICTURE! NOT A MAKE-OUT SESSION! THAT WAS A MAKE-OUT SESSION! YOU TWO COULDN'T EVEN BREATHE AFTERWARDS! That's why I called for a change! John was a little too happy there! Imagine how embarrassed he was!" Tera exclaimed causing Maria to blush. "Okay, we're going to do damage control now. We're going to put you in your last outfit, and you two are going to act like this never happened and you can talk about it or NOT talk about it! But just do it in PRIVATE! From now on, whatever you two do is you two's business! SO DON'T LET THE WHOLE WORLD SEE IT!" Tera shouted at her friend tossing her a plain white cap sleeved midriff top, with dark blue denim jeans and white pastry sneakers. The hair stylist straightened Maria's hair and removed the make-up leaving her with light foundation and sheer lip-gloss giving her a natural warm glow.
(Meanwhile)
John shook his head cursing himself as he splashed cold water on his face. His heart was thumping far too fast, and his stomach felt like it was a washing machine on the spin cycle. He never got this worked up over anything, but the mixture of how pretty Maria looked, the massage from earlier, his hands rubbing freely over her ass and his tongue roaming in her mouth got the best of him. 'Look on the bright side, all those clowns out there wish they got to do what I just did' John thought to himself for assurance. He walked out of the bathroom and Tera smiled politely and handed him a Live Fast Fight Hard shirt. John changed shirts and walked back over to the set and stood there nervously suddenly feeling he was under a spotlight. Which he was the entire time, except now it was all the more obvious. Maria hobbled onto the set loving her outfit and feeling refreshed. She smiled at John and quickly looked away.
"Look! You two got what you wanted, now don't let it fuck up my shoot! So I'll give you two five minutes to talk and you had better work it out! Because when I come back, I want chemistry! None of this shy shit!" Klareese said frustrated and stormed off.
"Look I" Both John and Maria said simultaneously.
"No you first" They said again in unison laughing at their awkward timing.
"I'm sorry" They said again at the same time. John bowed letting Maria speak first.
"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, I guess I got caught up. I regret that we kissed, I mean, you have a girlfriend and I just… uh... it was wrong. So let's just put it behind us and move forward." Maria stated although she didn't want to put it behind her at all. She knew for the sake of the shoot that's what she had to say to ease the tension between the two of them.
"Kay." John replied with a shrug not knowing what else to say. The two stood opposite one another more comfortably now as Klareese came back.
"Okay both of you sit on the floor. Maria, sit in between John's legs. John wrap your arms around her. And take that stupid hat off!" Klareese shouted as Tera this time actually did trip over the lamp trying to snatch the hat off John's head. The two took various pictures looking like the perfect couple, and for a few moments, Maria felt like they were.
"I want you two to kiss! Don't gimmie that look you did it perfectly fine on your own a few minutes ago! C'mon just a light peck!" Klareese ordered. Maria and John kissed softly and Maria pulled away with a childish grin as Klareese continued to snap away. They pecked a few more times throughout the various poses until Klareese finally yelled. "CUT! That's a wrap people you did great!"
(30 minutes later)
John and Maria were now in the limo and on their way back to the hotel. Until now, the entire ride was silent.
"You hungry?" John asked Maria wondering if she wanted to get something to eat with him.
"No not really." Maria answered staring out of her window wondering why she was given short moments of temporary bliss with John only to have it snatched away. Although they had kissed about five times within the past week, Maria was still craving for more from the WWE Champion.
"Did you want to hang out or something? Maybe the pool at the hotel might be good for your ankle." John suggested hopefully. It was now that he was kicking himself for not saying how he felt about the initial kiss they had shared at the shoot. But how did he feel was the real question.
John felt guilty about the kiss. He felt guilty for what he was doing to his girlfriend of eight months Torrie. He felt awful for kissing Maria, and that's what happened, he kissed her, not the other way around, as always John was the one kissing Maria. When the photographer asked them to kiss a few more times John still found himself initiating the small pecks. He felt like a dog grabbing her ass in front of everyone on the set of the photo shoot. The worst part about the entire situation was that he didn't regret the kiss, not in the slightest bit. John found himself wanting to kiss Maria again, he found himself needing to kiss Maria again.
"That sounds fun." Maria spoke softly with a nod.
"Okay we'll take a nap when we get back then go down later tonight." John told Maria who gave a small smile. It was then that Maria couldn't help but roll her eyes when John's cell phone went off with Torrie's signature ring tone.
"Hey babe… I'm still at the shoot I'll call you as soon as I get out." John lied wanting to deal with anything BUT his girlfriend.
"Kay bye." He said and hung up abruptly. He looked at Maria and gave a half smile; Maria turned her head away with an expressionless face. No matter what she did, what she wanted, or how hard she tried to get it, she would never have John Cena, and that was something she was sure of. She flipped open her t-mobile sidekick and began text messaging Ashley, telling her everything that had happened on the shoot.
"Maria that's terrible how could u?"
"I couldn't help myself; I just like him so much that when we're close I just feel overwhelmed, I feel like I can't breath. Like… I don't know he makes me feel like I'm on fire! I think I'm really falling in love with him."
"Your falling in LUST not LOVE! He's taken, you have to stop this, it's insane. You should never mix business with pleasure, Maria you know better than this."
"But my business is a pleasure! Don't you see? Me ending up in this story line is one of the best things that has happened to me. I know he's not mine, I know I can't have him, but a girl can still dream. Why don't you understand where I'm coming from Ash?"
"I do sweetie, I really do, which is why I'm so worried, this is only going to end up being a big mess! And I don't want you caught in the middle of it. I'm friends with Torrie too, and I know how she is, and if she finds out about all this, she's going to want to get revenge on you, which means I'm going to have to kick her ass because I won't let her hurt you. Maria this time, just listen to me and stay out of the way."
"How? How can I stay out of the way when Vince is forcing me in the middle? I'm trying my best but I really like him, and sometimes I just am so wrapped up in how much time we're spending together and I forget reality. When it's just me and him it's just wonderful ash…"
"Well it better get un-wonderful real quick because you two are coming down from your heavenly vacation tomorrow and you will be back on the road with the rest of us, so when that happens the two of you will have to curb your enthusiasm.
"I suppose so, but the closer and closer we get the more I realize that John would be better off without that bitch. She's ruining his life. All she does is nag him, criticize him, and hold him back from doing his job 110. I don't know why he puts up with her antics, I honestly don't.
(At the same time, John was text-messaging Randy)
"Man what the hell is wrong with you? Do you know that those pictures are going to be everywhere? There are already thousands of pictures of you two in Long Island together, and then there are some of you guys in some really dimly lit restaurant feeding each other… You two need to cool it, and quick!"
"I can't help it, I just think she is gorgeous, and when she's around me I just feel like our lips are magnetized. I just can't help myself Randy. And I'm starting to not care what other people think about seeing those pictures."
"HELLO! YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND… Remember her? Her name is Torrie, and she's a very pretty but not so nice girl, what happened to that? You guys just celebrated your eight-month anniversary right before you and Maria went on this storyline.
"Randy you know how miserable she makes me… Is it inhumane of me to want something else? Someone else? Someone better? Someone that makes me happy? Maria makes me happy! She's funny she's smart, she's lighthearted, she's sexy, she's HUMBLE, she's easy going! She's caring, considerate, sweet, she gives a nice ass massage. What do you expect me to do? Ignore her? Sorry but that would be impossible in any dimension."
"Look all I'm saying, is you mixing business with pleasure isn't going to end up with roses and sunshine. You're going to unintentionally get alot of people involved, and hurt as well. You have to think about other people than just yourself."
(Houston Texas)
Ashley sprinted through the back halls of the Toyota center during the house show. She was up in four minutes and had spent the ten minutes that she should've been heading to the gorilla text messaging a distraught Maria, and she still was!
Just as Ashley was sprinting through the back halls of the Toyota Center, Randy Orton was walking around looking for catering in the unfamiliar Arena while text messaging his best friend John Cena.
WAM!
Ashley was clothes lined merely by her speed when she hit Randy. Randy stumbled back dropping his blue treo 755 palm. Ashley fell flat on her back her dropping her blue treo 755 palm as well.
"Oh shit Ash I'm sorry." Randy said immediately pulling her to her feet.
"You okay?" He asked ruffling her hair.
"NO! I have to go out there like now. I'll see you later! Sorry for the tussle!" Ashley apologized and snatched the phone off the ground leaving Randy to pick up the other phone which back had fallen off and the battery had fallen out. Randy turned his phone back on and continued walking. Once the phone powered up, he went back to his text messages and looked at the phone with a confused face. That is when Randy realized Ashley had taken the wrong phone.
The interesting thing about the treo 755 palm was that the text messages were saved as though they were instant message chats that saved the conversations for months in one window. It was for easy access reference, and right now, Randy had VERY easy access. He looked through the long list of conversations and could see part of the last message sent. When he saw his best friend's name, he couldn't help but pry. He clicked into the conversation and his eyes widened. Not being able to help himself, Randy forwarded the entire conversation to John's phone. By the time he reached his locker room, he received a reply message.
"Ash you feelin' okay? I mean, isn't that kind of personal stuff?"
"No you retard it's me... Randy… Me and Ashley accidentally switched phones… Do you care about anything you just read?"
"HOLY SHIT RANDY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? SHE LIKES ME! SEE I TOLD YOU SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME!"
"Yeah, now the question is, what are you going to do about it?"
"Dump that dirt bag Torrie."
"You're a real asshole. I mean I'm all for you and Maria getting together. But not at Torrie's expense. I think it would be better if you made her break up with you. Think about it man, as soon as you break up with her, it'll be a big scandal. You don't want that do you? It would be better if you made her want to break up with you instead. Then she can't blame you for seeing someone else."
"No I guess your right… Yeah you're right. It just feels good knowing Maria wants me."
"Are you gonna cheat?"
"Honestly Randy, I don't know. I've been tempted to a couple of times but it never gets to that point."
"Well good luck, see you when you get back man. Don't text back because I'm deleting this convo and I'm turning off ash's phone like we never had discussed this."
After Ashley's match, she returned backstage and picked up her phone by the sound check behind the gorilla. She turned it on and she tilted her head to the side. These weren't her conversations; these weren't people she even knew! SHIT! She had Randy's phone! THIS MEANT HE HAD HERS! Ashley began walking around the arena looking for the Legend Killer. Curiosity got the best of her and she looked at his text messages. She read over his most recent conversation with the WWE champion and she thought she would pass out! She immediately forwarded the entire conversation to Maria.
(Meanwhile)
Maria looked over at John with her eyes bulging out of her head. The WWE champion was sleeping. Maria bit her lip wondering why his best friend would send her the conversation; she didn't know what else to do so she chose to not reply as a million thoughts ran through her head. A few moments later, she received another message.
"MARIA ITS ME ASH! I ACCIDENTLY TOOK RANDY'S PHONE! AND WHAT I JUST SENT YOU IS THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN RANDY AND JOHN FROM LIKE.. JUST NOW!"
"ASH THIS IS FANTASTIC! SEE I TOLD YOU I WASN'T CRAZY! I KNEW HE HAD A THING FOR ME!"
"Yeah, but did you read the end? You have a lot of waiting ahead of you. I mean, he said he was going to make Torrie break up with him. Sooo… You better sit and wait patiently and twiddle your thumbs, Randy's right if you guys do this the wrong way it's going to blow up in your faces!"
"I agree. But there's still one big problem, John doesn't know I like him, and I have to PRETEND that I don't know that he likes me! This is going to be really hard Ash."
"Yeah tell me about it. But this is the only way to handle things without ripping everyone else apart. Just please pretend you don't know. And I'm going to give Randy back the phone and pretend like I never spoke to you about this. So don't text back, I'm deleting this!"
Maria's lips curved into an evil smile and she deleted the conversation on her own phone as well; she looked at the WWE Champion sleeping peacefully. She didn't expect him to profess his love for her, or even admit that he liked her, she just wanted to give him reassurance and initiative that he was doing the right thing in splitting up with his current girlfriend of 8 months Torrie. Maria leaned her head over and laid it in his lap. John slowly opened his eyes and smiled down at Maria. Maria fiddled John's fingers against her own looking into his eyes every so often and glancing back down at their hands.
"Listen Ria about that kiss I..." Maria sat up and shook her head.
"No me first… I lied to you… I didn't regret that kiss. Or any of the times we've kissed…And I know that it's wrong of me to feel that way because you have a girlfriend and what not, but I really don't care, that's just the way I feel, and I just wanted to be honest with you. I also want you to know that I don't expect anything from you, not a relationship or a commitment because I know how much you care about Torrie so I'm just going to back off." Maria told him knowing he wanted anything BUT for her to back off. John looked out the window thinking about everything that his current love interest had just said. John couldn't find the words to explain to Maria what he was thinking about, he didn't even know if he should tell her what he was thinking about, she herself said it was wrong to feel the way she did because he had a girlfriend, so if he told her how he felt would she think he was a bad guy for doing that to Torrie? John was completely lost on what he should do; the WWE champion knew he had to at least give Maria some type of reassurance that he understood where she was coming from. John reached across the back seat and took Maria's hand in his own, he then stroked her palm with his thumb. When Maria looked back at him, she saw his small yet warm reassuring smile. She knew that once they got back to the roster, she would get what she had wanted for the past nine months. That being John Cena.
