So I decided this was going to be the last chapter. Have fun reading!


John took a last sip from his drink. He looked around and all he saw were children holding on to their parents, parents taking pictures of their children while ridding a lame ride and the big smiles on children’s faces when they saw a fancy-looking girl dressed as a princess.

“Why are they dressed like that?” John asked Lilian who was sitting beside him.

“Dressed like what?” Lilian asked.

“Like princesses,” John pretended to gag.

Lilian laughed, “Exactly! Because they’re supposed to be princesses!”

John enjoyed her reaction to his comment and pulled her closer to him. “I can’t believe I’m here with you.”

“I can’t believe you’re here either,” Lilian smiled.

John bought her a chocolate shaped like Mickey Mouse’s head. He also bought one for himself. “Have you been here before?” he asked Lilian, as if he hadn’t seen the picture frame in her bedroom at South Carolina. It was a picture of a young Lilian, squeezed between Mickey and Minnie.

“Dad took us her when I was nine,” Lilian said. “We couldn’t forget about Spain at that time so he showed us this place. It was everything a little girl dreamed about. But it wasn’t this big before. How about you? Do you have memories of Walt Disney World?”

John finished chewing off the ears. “None. I would rather go and see wrestling matches.”

“Seriously?” Lilian said. “Well, I don’t think that’s weird considering you’re all boys. I do remember having a wresting action figure that my dad secretly gave me and when my mom saw me, she went crazy.”

They came over huge teacups revolving around and John shook his head. “We’re not going to ride in that, are we?”

Lilian shook her head and smiled. “I don’t think they’d let us in even if we want to. Let’s just walk around.”

John chewed off the last bit of his chocolate. “Walk around? Outside Citrus Bowl will do.”

Lilian had her best puppy dog eyes on. “But we wouldn’t be able to find a princess around Citrus Bowl.” She grabbed John’s arm towards Belle. “Let’s have our picture taken.”

John hesitated. “No way! I’m a big guy and I’m not going to stand next to –“

“Come on!” Lilian insisted. She handed the camera to a tourist who had kindly taken their pictures.

John stood there, Belle between him and Lilian. Then he suddenly imagined himself with a little girl sitting on his shoulders. He wouldn’t mind if his shoulders were aching because of that long day at Walt Disney World. He wouldn’t mind because it was his daughter. His daughter would have long blonde hair just like her mother. Blue eyes that looked exactly like his. And then, her mother’s gorgeous smile. Wait. What was he thinking? Oh yes, he was thinking about their future. Probably the next time they’d go to Walt Disney World. He was thinking about a future with Lilian. Hopefully, she’s thinking the same thing too.

“Thank you so much,” Lilian said as she took the camera from the tourist. “Hey, ever wondered why no one recognized us yet?”

“Because you’re wearing sunglasses that you only remove when we’re about to have our picture taken and I’m wearing a hooded jacket with the hood on my head,” John replied.

Lilian raised an eyebrow. “Well, that’s a valid reason.”

“Or maybe because Disney and WWE are completely different worlds,” John replied. Then he imagined himself holding a small boy’s hand, introducing him to everyone backstage, divas wanting to pinch his cheeks. The boy had a brown hair just like his and green eyes from her mother. When he smiles, his dimples will show off, just like his. There he goes again, daydreaming about his future.

“Lily?” John asked. “Did you believe all these stuff when you were little?”

Lilian smiled, gorgeously, John thought. “Happily ever after or what?”

John was confused, having to deal with fairy tales for the first time in his life. “The part where the princess meets the prince.”

Lilian laughed. “Of course! You just don’t know if it’s a real prince and not a troll in disguise. But the happily-ever-after part? Not so true.”

“I agree,” John said, “though you can try your best to make it last.”

“Wow, you can be a prince charming,” Lilian commented.

Yeah, I’ll be your prince charming, John thought. “Yeah, I’ll be your prince charming.”

“Excuse me?” Lilian almost chocked on her chocolate that she still hasn’t finished.

Did I say it out loud? John thought. “What did I say?”

“That… you’ll… be…” Lilian saw John’s look of disbelief.

How can I say it out loud? John muttered in his head.

“my… PRINCE CHARMING!!” Lilian gasped. “I can’t believe you said that!”

I can’t believe it either, John thought. “Well, I mean it,” his voice sounded serious.

“Seriously?” Lilian asked softly.

“Mommy its John Cena!” a 5-year-old boy came running towards them. “And you’re Lilian! I can tell even though you have those huge sunglasses on! Mom, can I have a picture with them?”

Lilian just kept staring at John’s blue eyes. She didn’t move a muscle even though that kid came. She could feel her heart pounding, as if it was ready to explode.

“I’m sorry about my kid,” the mother told them. “Honey, say you’re sorry.”

“No, I mean, no problem,” John said. “Come on kiddo, let’s have our picture taken.” The kid settled between them and John placed his hand on Lilian’s shoulder. After taking a picture with the kid, he gently guided her, his hand still on her shoulder. “I already told you what I feel, many times, actually.”

“And I bet you’re dying to know what I feel,” Lilian said.

John cleared his throat. “Yes, I would love to know.”

Lilian sat on a bench and motioned John to sit beside her. “What if I don’t feel the same way you do? Will that fact ruin our relationship, as friends?”

“I hope not,” John said. “But I do know that it will crush my heart.”

Lilian rested her head on John’s shoulder. “Of all the men that came into my life, whether it is a friend, admirer or a relative, you’re the best,” John chuckled when he heard that. “Oh, but my dad is still better than you.”

“What are you trying to say?” John asked.

“I’m trying to tell you that…” Lilian saw John staring into her green eyes so she stared at his eyes too. “All those times that I’m helping you with Torrie, I really liked it when I’m doing it but now, I regret doing it. Because all those times that I saw you with her, I feel like there’s something wrong with my heart.”

“So… you mean?” John’s eyes glistened. Finally, Lilian implied it.

“Yes,” Lilian hugged him. “I love you John…”

John stood up and twirled her around. The corniest thing to do at Walt Disney World, but he still did it. He didn’t care about what the people who saw them would say. He finally heard it, she loves him too.

“I love you Lilian,” John said. They shared a passionate kiss but broke it before anyone would notice them.

Now John was sure that his daydreams earlier weren’t going to be daydreams anymore. Someday, it will come true. And they’re one step forward to that future.


Well, I guess that’s the ending. I hope you liked it because I really enjoyed writing it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Reviews are very much appreciated.
