Slipped Away
Chapter 1
Damn she’d been working for WWE now for
nearly 3 years. She loved being the Travel Assistant...Basically her job was to
make sure all the wrestlers had their hotel and car rental reservations in
order for every town. Well all the wrestlers for the Smackdown roster that is.
Kira walked into the arena...As she walked in she felt the air conditioning hit
her, and her waist length chestnut hair was still wet from the shower she just
took at the hotel. Kira thought great...Just great, she’d gonna get pneumonia.
Stephanie McMahon walked by and said, “Hey Kira...How was your vacation?” Kira
said, “It was so great.” Steph said, “Right on...You look nice and tanned
girl...Damn...Maybe we should make you a diva.”
Kira said, “Please...I have enough to do without trying to pose half naked.”
Stephanie laughed and said, “We missed you...There’s a meeting in about 10
minutes...Go drop your backpack and grab some coffee.” Kira laughed and said,
“Do I really look like I need some coffee that bad?” Steph said, “No, I’ve been
friends with you long enough to know, when you get that look in your eye, you
haven’t had your coffee today yet.”
Kira laughed and said, “
Kira sat her bag on the floor as she fell back on the ground and stared at the
ceiling. Her knees were bent towards the ceiling...as she closed her
eyes...when she re-opened her eyes there was a tenny shoe over face. Just from
the bottom of the shoe she knew who it was.
Kira yelled, “DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT CENA!” She could hear John laughing his
ass off as he removed his foot and went over to her side and squatted down next
to her. John’s blue eyes sparkled as he said, “What’ca doing on the floor
woman? You just got back from vacation and you’re already slackin’.”
Kira gave John the finger as his mouth came down over her middle finger that
was waving at him in the air and his teeth clamped down around her finger...not
hard, but at first he licked the tip of her finger and then closed his lips
around it.
Kira made a face and wiped her hand on his jean shorts. John said, “I see they
already have the air conditioner on...and you like a dork, have wet hair
again.” Kira rolled over onto her side and propped her head up on her hand as
John sat next to her and rested his elbows on his knees...and said, “So how was
Hawaii...you look a little darker.”
Kira smirked and said, “You show see the body parts I got nice and tanned now.”
John raised his eye brows and said, “Well, if that’s an invitation, I accept.”
John moved around onto his knees and pushed Kira over onto her back as he
lifted her t-shirt and admired her nicely toned abs as he leaned down with much
protesting from Kira and blew raspberries on her toned stomach. And smirked as
she died laughing on the cement floor of the arena. They had been friends long
enough to know where all their ticklish spots were.
John rolled back into a squatting position and said, “C’mon were gonna be late
for the meeting.” Kira sat up and smacked his arm and said, “Yea, well you play
dirty.” John said, “That’s just me...C’mon beautiful, let me help you up.”
John held out his hand and pulled Kira up to her feet and Handed her backpack
to her as they went their separate ways and then met up back in front of the
meeting room, John handed her a cup of Mocha coffee with a little hazelnut,
like she liked and she kissed his cheek as she looped her arm through his and
they walked into the meeting room.
How do you tell your best friend you’re in love with him? Especially when every
thing has the potential for failure and falling down around your head...
Chapter 2
Kira, John and the rest of the Smackdown
roster sat through yet another boring meeting.
John’s head was propped up with his elbow on the table...and Kira had her head
resting on the exposed bicep that was helping prop up John’s head. John felt
Kira lay her head on his arm, and let his head slid down until it was resting
on hers.
Kira smiled inwardly when she felt John’s head resting against hers. She sighed
contently. As they both sat there sipping their coffee and trying to pay
attention to Stephanie.
John whispered in Kira’s ear, “The next time I have some wet paint to watch
drying would you care to join me...I’d rather kill myself with paint fumes
right now, then have to sit through another one of these damn meetings.” Kira
covered her mouth and stifled a laugh as she buried her face into John’s bicep.
John heard her giggling into his arm and couldn’t help but feel the tickle of
the vibration in his arm.
Somehow her chestnut hair had slid over his arm and was hanging down...he loved
to smell her hair...she always smelled like the Sunflowers perfume. John had
never seen someone with such long and thick hair as Kira had...He loved to
touch it...and loved running his fingers through it.
When the meeting was finally over, John walked Kira down to her office as she
got started scooping out hotels for the guys for the house shows on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, John sat down across from her with his foot propped
against her desk.
John said, “Please tell me I’m dead...I hate those meetings...I could seriously
take a nap after one of those for the next 3 days.” Kira laughed as she stuck a
pencil in her hair to keep it up and out of her face and said, “Well...you
don’t have 3 days...but if you want close my door and snooze on the couch for 2
hours...I’ll wake you up an hour before Smackdown starts.”
John said, “You’re a life saver Kira.” John dropped his foot as he closed the
door kicked his tenny shoes off and laid on the couch with his chest facing the
back of the couch. Once Kira heard John’s labored breathing, she went over and
pulled her small blanket out of her backpack and laid it over his arms.
Kira sat at her desk for about 15 minutes and to say she was blatantly staring
at John was not the total truth, but in between reserving rooms and rental cars
for all the wrestlers...she couldn’t help but sneak glances at John. For 30
minutes straight she actually stopped what she was doing to watch him sleep.
Kira knew there was no way in hell she could ever tell John how she truly felt
about him...he was the first person she met when she started working for the
company 3 years ago...He’d become a best friend to her and fast, practically
over night. Most of the Divas hated the fact that John was so close to
Kira...they had all tried to infiltrate his life or system in some way, shape
or form...John wasn’t having any of that.
John didn’t like the Divas...he got along with them for the most part, but by
the second year Kira had been employed with WWE, they had gossiped and lied
about their friendship so bad that Kira nearly walked away from her job and
John. John just came right out and said they were best friends and how dare
they treat another WWE employee so rudely and with such little regard...he had
the whole issue squashed in 4 weeks.
Kira was so thankful to him...she was so excited about being able to stay and
keep her job, she grabbed his face and kissed his lips...John was a little
taken back by it, cause he wasn’t expecting it, but nothing for nothing, Kira
could kiss...She nearly knocked John right out of his Hanes socks and Nike
tenny shoes.
John couldn’t help but actually kiss her back...when she pushed off from him,
she blushed furious and then apologized like there was no tomorrow...John said
it was fine as he walked away thoroughly shocked. The worst part about the
whole kiss was that’s when her heart had decided to let her fall in love with him...
The only thing she didn’t know was...John felt the same exact way...but he just
wasn’t sure if he wanted to ruin a friendship for a couple of months of
fun...which is how long most of his relationships lasted...3/4 of his
relationships didn’t last longer then 5 or 6 months...so after being with her
for 5 or 6 months, would they be able to mend themselves enough to just go back
to being best friends again?
John wasn’t willing to risk it...especially since he knew Kira didn’t feel the
same way for him.
Kira woke him up as promised and watched as he took off to get ready for his
match.
Nope...she’d never tell him...She couldn’t...even if she wanted to...she
wouldn’t.
Chapter 3
Kira was sitting behind her desk yet
again...She’d often found herself just sitting there trying to think up a valid
way to relieve her mind of John Cena. But like all the other times it wasn’t
working.
Kira stood up and was pacing around the room, while going over the hotel list
for the wrestlers...She started thinking out loud and said, “Maybe I could have
a redneck doctor saw the top of my head off...root around in my brain with a
stick and find the part of me that thinks of him constantly and pour acid on
it...that would definitely take care of the problem.”
John smirked as he watched the brunette pacing in her office...he’d been
standing there leaning against the door frame for 2 minutes and when she
stopped talking he said, “Acid? That would hurt like hell Kira. And why exactly
are you pouring acid on your brain?”
Kira jumped and dropped the handful of papers and John laughed as Kira threw
her pencil at him and said, “Hasn’t anyone ever told you sneaking up on someone
isn’t nice...you scared the shit out of my Cena.” John held up his hands in
defense and said, “I didn’t mean to scare you...I’m sorry.” John walked in and
squatted down with the brunette and helped her pick up the papers.
John said, “Besides, I wasn’t sneaking...I’ve been standing there for the last
3 minutes...You just didn’t notice me, cause you was too busy have a
conversation with yourself.” Kira looked at John and stuck her tongue out at
him and said, “Sorry...wasn’t aware I couldn’t talk about pouring acid on my
brain without your permission.”
John said, “And yet again I state...That would hurt like hell...Why would you
pour acid on your brain?” Kira said, “I’ve got a blind date on Thursday...I
don’t really feel like going on it...and I want to kill Stephanie...I swear if
it’s anyone from the roster...I’ll scream...Or kill myself at the very least.”
John smirked and said, “Blind date eh...Those suck...I’ve been on a few...If
only friends knew how much they sucked...They’d just learn to stay out of their
single friends lives for a change.”
Kira and John stood up and said, “Yea...before becoming meddlesome nosey busy
bodies...I really don’t want to go...I’d rather cut off my left boob then go on
this blind date...The last one Steph set me up on was a disaster.”
John smiled as he grabbed his left pectoral through his navy blue T-shirt and
said, “Ouch! Don’t cut off body parts that people might wanna use later on your
blind date.” Kira giggled and said, “I don’t know who this schmuck is...but
he’s definitely not getting me anywhere, where he can use my left boob for
something.”
Kira looked down and said, “Besides I think the girls and me are going to opt
for a light dinner, no desert and run back to the hotel screaming like a mass
murderer is after us.”
John couldn’t help but laugh...Kira always referred to her breasts as the
girls. John had to ask...so while waving a finger in front of her chest he
said, “By the way, I was just curious...You always refer to those as girl...how
do you know they aren’t guys...or maybe one of each.”
Kira sat in the chair behind her desk and said, “If they were guys, they’d get
me into trouble that I couldn’t get myself out of...and if they were one of
each...they’d argue to the point of me just having them both removed.” Again
John grabbed his pectorals through his T-shirt and said, “Damn...Were you a
masochist in your former life?”
Kira shrugged her shoulders and said, “I don’t know...it’s a possibility...Even
though I’m the biggest wimp when it comes to pain...I don’t mind dishing a
little out to stupid people.”
John laughed as he leaned over and rubbed the back of her hand and said, “I’ll
see you Friday...I hope the blind date isn’t as bad as it seems to be...Try
having a nice time...you never know...The guy could turn out to be a real
Prince Charming.”
Kira said, “That shit only happens in fair tales Cena...You know that.” John
couldn’t help but hope the date was lousy and gave her a comfort hug and said,
“Bye.”
Kira waited until he left the room and said, “Bye...Nice eyes...You're
beautiful... You smell good...Will you marry me? I love you.” As her head
plopped on the desk with a muffled Thud.
Thus beginning the next 3 days of blind date preparation HELL.
Chapter 4
Kira decided against going to work
Friday, Saturday, Sunday and yes even Monday...Stephanie told her she could use
the time off to recuperate from her disastrous blind date...which Stephanie
promised to NEVER set up for her again...even if she begged...which Stephanie
knew by the tone of her voice...she’d NEVER request, beg or demand another
blind date as long as she lived.
Kira survived the blind date from HELL...literally. She swore she had gone out
with Satan...or his spawn...
After her date was 2 hours late and the shitty burned dinner from the whole in
the wall restaurant...Then to make matters worse it had to pour down rain...At
which point the guys car got FLOODED because there wasn’t a hood over the
engine...so instead of the schmuck making sure she got home safely...he walked
across the street and hopped a bus back to his place, while Kira walked through
the pouring rain across town and barely got home without getting pneumonia.
However, she did not escape getting the worst cold of her entire life...She had
a fever of 103 the entire weekend...and then naturally once she was on a plane
Tuesday morning bound for the next Smackdown destination, her nose got stuffed
up and she couldn’t stop sneezing...she was sure even if her nose had been
sawed off her face she still wouldn’t have been able to stop sneezing.
Kira got to the arena, wrapped in her jeans, tenny shoes, 3 T-shirts and a
sweatshirt her hair was in a pony tail. She sat behind her desk and was working
on the travel arrangements...Everyone in the arena could hear the nasty sneezes
generating from her dressing room.
John was in the gym working out when Stephanie passed through and stopped in
front of John while he was working on his arms and chest as usual. Steph said,
“You might wanna go see Kira...Her date didn’t go exactly as planned...and
she’s kind of not feeling well.” John nodded and said, “I was going to after my
last reps and a shower...I don’t want to be sweaty and stinky.” Stephanie said,
“Like she’s not used to that with you Cena?” John chuckled and agreed.
John went ahead and finished his reps and then took a quick shower as he got
his jean shorts and a Nike T-shirt on with his baseball hat on backwards...he
walked down to Kira’s office. He was about 10 steps from her office when he
uncontrollable sneezing coming down the hallway.
John couldn’t imagine what was going on with someone…Once he turned the corner
and stepped into Kira’s office and knew immediately where the sneezes were
coming from. John said, “Damn Kira I can hear you all the way down the hall…”
Kira looked up and through a clouded head said, “Piss off Cena.”
John threw his hands up in defense and said, “Why aren’t you at the
hotel…you’re only gonna make yourself worse by being in this air conditioned
building.” Kira shrugged her shoulders and said, “I already missed 4 days from
the 103 fever I had…I wasn’t about to be a half show tonight.” John shook his
head at her and said, “You stay in this office and stay warm…I don’t want you
to get pneumonia.”
Kira just nodded weakly as John left to get ready for the show…3 hours later,
after Smackdown was over, John had showered after his match and went to check
on Kira. He pushed her office door open and found her asleep on the couch in
her office. John smirked…she always did look cute when she was sleeping…
He pushed her laptop into her backpack and threw it over his shoulder with his
bag and then carefully without waking her up he lifted her into his arms…she
moved around and snuggled against his chest and he carried her out to his
rental and took her back to the hotel…
He sat in the chair next to her hotel room bed…he couldn’t leave her alone when
she was that sick.
Chapter 5
John sat in the chair next to the bed and
watched as Kira slept peacefully...He leaned over and was running his
fingertips around the soft skin on her face...His blue eyes staring at her...He
wanted nothing more then to lean down and capture her lips. John wanted to kiss
her ever since she’d kissed him 2 years ago, when he had convinced everyone to
leave their friendship alone.
John had been shocked and nearly fell over when she kissed him...but he just
figured she would never want to jeopardize their friendship...even though he
was dying on the inside to just ask her on one date...He’d take her out and
really show her a great time...show her that all the dead beat losers she’s
been on blind dates were really supposed to show her a good time and not help
her get pneumonia.
John touched her forehead, he could’ve sworn she felt warm...The only person he
knew who had a kid that could tell if she had a fever or not would have to be
Mark Jindrak...Him and his wife Tammy had a 2 year old and if anything they’d
know. John pulled his cell phone out and called Mark...Him and Tammy were just
down the hall from Kira’s room.
Mark agreed to come down and see what was going on. When he got there John let
him in and Mark said, “What happened to Kira...I heard she had a lousy blind
date, but now she’s sick?” John shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don’t
know...I was going to check on her and when I walked in she told me to piss off
and I could hear her coughing down the hallway at the arena.”
Mark said, “Tammy talked with her earlier and apparently her blind date left
little to be desired...Apparently he was a real dick...she ended up walking
home in the rain which is probably how she got the cold...Where is she?” John
said, “C’mon I’ve got her laying down.” Mark followed John into the bedroom of
the hotel and Mark said, “She’s really pale.”
Mark leaned over and put his lips against Kira’s forehead and pulled back fast
and said, “Mother fucker.” John said, “What?” Mark said, “I think you should
take her to the ER...She is burning up...Her fever has to be spiked somewhere
around 104 maybe 105...If it goes to 107 it can actually fry her brain.” John
said, “Nuff said,” John pulled his sweatshirt on and shoes.
Mark went down to tell Tammy her best friend was being taken to the hospital.
John leaned over Kira and said, “Kira baby...wake up.” Kira moved around a
little and whimpered...Her whole body was in pain this cold was definitely
kicking her ass...John said, “Kira...C’mon wake up girl.” Kira slowly opened
her eyes as she was met by beautiful blue eyes staring back at her.
Kira’s eyes were sluggish and said, “Hi John, is it morning already?” John
said, “No sweetie...I need you to wake up...you’ve got a really bad fever and
it’s not breaking...I’m gonna take you to the ER.” Kira sat up and a pain
zinged through her head, as she held her head she said, “John I hate hospitals.
I don’t wanna go.”
John squatted down in front of her, putting her tenny shoes back on and said,
“I know sweetie...but you’re really sick right now...And I’m not going to take
a chance and have you get worse.” Kira looked at him and said, “Promise you
won’t leave me...Promise or I’m not going.” John looked up and smirked at her
and said, “I promise I’ll stay with you for as long as you have to stay.” Kira
smiled weakly and leaned over and kissed his cheek and said, “Thank you.”
John stood up and carefully lifted Kira in his arms, when he stepped out of the
hotel room, Tammy and Mark were standing in the hallway waiting for them...They
moved quickly and took off to the hospital. When they got there, the hospital
staff took over and said she had walking pneumonia...which wasn’t as severe as
regular pneumonia...but they said there wasn’t much they could do for her at
the hospital.
John called Stephanie and told him what was going on with Kira. Stephanie could
hear the concern in his voice and said, “What do you wanna do John?” He said,
“I’m going to take her back to West Newbury...I’m going to have her stay at my
place...I wanna keep an eye on her and take care of her.”
Stephanie said, “HELLO...What would you like me to tell my dad and the
writers?” John said, “I don’t care what you tell them...She’s my best friend,
I’m not going to just ignore the fact that she’s this sick.” Stephanie said, “Okay...I’ll
figure something out...I’ll put you on emergency family leave...but as soon as
she’s better you two get your ass back on the tour...or it’s my ass with my
father.”
John said, “Thanks Steph.” Stephanie said, “John...Take care good care of her
please.” John said, “I wouldn’t have her stay with me if I wasn’t going to give
her the best care myself.” They hung up.
John got a rental car and drove himself and Kira back to his place in
Chapter 6
A week later, and John was watching as
Kira walked into his kitchen and saw down at the table with one foot under her
bottom and the other propped up on the chair with her elbow resting on her knee
while she was towel drying her hair.
John said, “How are you feeling sweetie?” Kira said, “I still feel a little
foggy and my head hurts, but other then that, I actually feel much better...I
really can’t thank you enough John...You didn’t have to do this ya know...you
guys could’ve just thrown me in my own bed.”
John said, “No chance...I wasn’t going to take a risk and have you get worse
then you already were. And I told you to stop saying thank you...You know I’ll
always take care of you...C’mon girl you’re my best friend.” Kira smiled weakly
and said, “And you’re mine...” John and said, “AND...You’ve taken care of me
enough over the last 3 years when I’d job to some moron because I was a rookie
and whatever...So it’s my turn to pay you back.”
Kira stood up and walked over and stood in front of John as she slowly wrapped
her arms around his neck and pulled him to her...Johns huge arms slowly snaked
around her waist returning the loving hug she was giving him...He wasn’t keen
on hugging people unless it was a fan or Kira...
It was little moments that they shared like this standing in a kitchen...Just
holding each other...That just absolutely made being friends worth it...Kira
wanted so bad to just come out and tell John how she felt...but obviously it
wasn’t going to happen...
Would she ever be able to tell him...she was terrified of what could be said
and done between the two if John didn’t feel the same for her...She loved him
with all her heart as a friend and then as more than just a friend...
John looked down at her and kissed her forehead also checking for a fever and
he said, “You don’t have a fever...That’s good.” Kira nodded weakly and looked
down and her hair slid over her shoulders and between them...John kissed the
top of her head and said, “Go lay on the couch I’ll bring you some soup.” Kira
said, “Okay.” She pushed her hair behind her ears and walked into the living
room and laid across the couch.
John grabbed onto the kitchen sink with both hands to steady himself...Being
that close to Kira and hearing her voice and just sharing that moment with
her...He could feel his body reacting to her. She was without a doubt one of
the sweetest girls he’d ever met...She could be brave and brazen when she
wanted to or innocent and shy when the feeling rose. He almost couldn’t take
it...He loved all sides of her...There was nothing that he didn’t love about
her.
John steadied himself a little more as he finally let go of the sink and warmed
up some chicken noodle soup that his mom had made from scratch and brought over
for Kira when she found out how sick she was and that her son was taking care
of his best friend.
John could see Kira’s hair hanging over the back of his couch and he wanted
nothing more then to run over and jump over the back of the couch and make her
his completely...
John in all honesty hadn’t been able to get involved with another woman since
Kira entered his life...He tried dating a few girls...but every time he
compared them to Kira nothing ever matched up. She was intelligent, beautiful,
witty, shy, but brave, her violet eyes made his whole body tingle when they
were looking at him and her laugh was only something that he’d mostly heard...It
was like a sin to be in love with her, without her knowing it.
John exhaled and couldn’t fight the feelings he was having for her...He’d been
like this for 2 years now...more like 3 since it started before she kissed him.
John knew he was going to have to tell her eventually...The feelings were just
getting way to strong...It was bad enough he was going to have to go without
her being around him for 4 months...Vince had approached him with a movie idea
called The Marine...Shooting wasn’t scheduled to started for another 3 months,
but God help him, he hadn’t even told Kira yet.
He was heart broken because this was the first time he’d ever kept something
like this away from her...well other then the fact that he was IN LOVE WITH
HER...Which for all the obvious reasons he hadn’t said anything yet...He’d
decided to tell her about the movie once they got back on the road, and
hopefully she’d be happy for him...
That’s all he ever wanted was to see her happy.
Chapter 7
- -2 Months later- -
John and Kira were back on the road with everyone else on Smackdown...Kira had
recovered pretty quickly...John had never been so happy to see her so
healthy...It was crunch time and his movie would start filming in a month...he
had to tell her and soon.
A few Smackdown and Raw people were going to meet up at a local theater and
catch a movie. Riley ran into Lisa Marie (
Smackdown had finished taping and Riley wasn’t sure about who all was
coming...She met up with Lisa, Randy, Mark and Tammy and a few other
people...They sat through the movie and she hadn’t seen John all day not even
at the arena...Something had to be wrong as the worry started to creep into her
mind and heart. She looked around the theater and the group of people she was
there with and even Randy and Mark had asked where John was all she could do
was shrug her shoulders and said, she was sure he wouldn’t miss a chance to see
all his friends from Raw.
It was uncharacteristic of John to not come find her during a Smackdown taping
and bug the living shit out of her...This was a first in the almost 4 years
they’d been friends...As soon as the movie let out...The others went to find an
after hours club to let off some steam and dance the night away...
Riley grabbed a cab and immediately took off back to the hotel and up to John’s
room...And knocked...John mumbled something audible in what he figured was
English as he rolled his sore body off the bed and nearly took a header onto
the hotel floor. His head was killing him...He had 15 stitches to prove it too.
John slowly by holding on to every wall he could find, made his way over to the
door and opened it and saw Kira standing in front of him...Her hands flew over
her mouth as tears threatened to fall from her gorgeous violet eyes...Kira
couldn’t believe the mess he was in, Mark hard told her he had a rough
match...Apparently he’d had a VERY rough match.
John said, “I’m okay so don’t you dare let any of those tear come out of those
eyes of yours.” Kira started to say something when she blinked and the tears
slid down her cheeks...John didn’t miss it...he pulled her into his body and wrapped
his arms around her...Her face went to his shoulder and he tried to comfort her
without grouping her...A woman crying over his present state...and being it was
Kira was all he could do to keep his heart from breaking.
John pulled her into his hotel room and kicked the door closed. Kira said, “Why
didn’t you tell me...You should have called me damn it.” John said, “Okay calm
down first because I can barely understand you through the tears and my t-shirt
is muffling half of what you’re saying.”
Kira stepped back from John, wiped her eyes and said, “Why didn’t you tell
me...You should have called me God damn it.” She accentuated a few words with
some smacks to his arms. John backed up a little and threw his hands up in
defense and said, “You’re telling me, I should of called you cause I got the
shit beat out of me during my match, and you’re beating the shit out of me in
my own hotel room woman.”
Kira smiled weakly and said, “Sorry...I just...I didn’t hear from you at all
today, which isn’t like you, cause if you’re not in the ring, cutting a promo
or talking with the guys, then you’re in my office belching and buggin the shit
out of me...And I didn’t hear anything from you and when you didn’t show up to
the movie...you scared the shit out of me...Then I come here to find you a
bloody mess, you’ve got blood all over your shirt and shorts and you’re God
damn bandage is soaked in blood.”
John without thinking said, “Sorry the writers figured it would be a nice way
of getting rid of me for the 4 months I’m gone for the movie.” John
cringed...He’d let it slip Damn it.
Chapter 8
Kira stopped in her spot and said,
“Excuse me? Did I just walk into some parallel universe?”
John said, “I’ve been meaning to tell you...Vince approached me with a WWE
movie roll...It’s called The Marine...And it starts filming at the end of the
month. So Tonight is not the first ass kicking I’m going to get...I’ve got 3
more weeks of this shit...and then they are going to spread a huge rumor about
me getting stabbed at a club by Jesus and his little moron.”
Kira huffed and said, “You couldn’t tell me sooner and let me get used to the
idea of you being GONE for 4 months? John you’re my best friend and I came here
tonight cause I was scared and worried about you...and you’re teetering...You’ve
got a concussion don’t you?”
John nodded and said, “And a headache.”
Kira nodded and said, “Okay...Well C’mon Rocky Marciano, let’s get you cleaned
up...By the way...I’m proud of you for taking the movie...Even though I’m gonna
miss you like it’s going out of style...I think it’s great that they recognize
you’ve got more then just wrestling talent.”
John got a perverted thought in his mind and decided against saying it in front
of Kira...He was just happy that she was there...Her scent of Sunflowers
perfume had already invaded his whole hotel room...and he could feel his
headache lifting a little...
Kira grabbed a cup and put some warm water in it and a clean wash cloth as she
made John sit on the bed laying at a 45 degree angle...it would slow the
bleeding...and hopefully get rid of the headache taking pressure off his sore
body.
John watched as Kira pulled the blood soaked bandage from his head carefully
and laughed when she made a face at the blood...He knew she couldn’t stand the
site of blood, but was taking it with the grain of salt for him. She dipped the
washcloth in the warm water and rung it out and carefully dabbed his
forehead...making sure to soak up all the blood...
They made small talk as she retrieved her purse and said, “I’ve got something
much better then those lame ass gauze bandages.”
All John could think was please let it be her bra or even t-shirt...No such
luck. Her small hands pulled a bottle out of her purse and she said, “It’s
called liquid Band aide...It seals the cut and protects it from getting
infected...We can’t have you trying to shoot a movie with an infected
brain...you’d never get anything accomplished.”
John thought ‘My brain is already infect with you.’
Kira cleaned up a little and dug in his suit case and found his track pants and
a t-shirt...She smirked and said, “I’ll just assume they are
clean...Well...Anything is really cleaner then what you have on...You change
and I’ll call Mark and let him know you’re okay and you’re battle scars will
heal.”
John nodded as she pulled the bedroom door shut and he got changed...She was
almost as good as having his mom around...She kissed his boo-boos as she called
them, gave him clean clothes and was calling his friends to let him know he was
still alive after the war. He was a good think he put the track pants on cause
his jeans shorts were close to exposing his feelings for her...
Her hands touching him and helping him...it was the smallest act of kindness
and it made her innocent and he wanted to make her un-innocent by pushing her
onto her back and crawling between her thighs and letting her really ‘feel’ how
he was really enjoying her touching him...It seemed to be happening more often
now a days...She’d smile, hug him...touch him in some way and he would instantly
get so hard, he felt like running himself into a wall.
All he thought about was Kira...His life was getting pathetic now...He had to
tell her...Maybe when he got back from shooting the movie...hopefully...Damn
who the hell knew.
Chapter 9
It was the night before John’s flight to
Kira had on jeans, tenny shoes and a white crocheted cropped top, that was
showing off a good portion of her bare mid-drift, and with her jeans down
around her hips anyone could see her toned abs...Plus her navel ring. Tammy had
come over and put curl in her long chestnut hair.
Kira walked into the club with Tammy and Mark and instantly found Lisa and
Randy who were sitting with John talking and have a few beers. Kira walked up
with her thumbs hooked into her back pockets and her hair hanging in waves
around her face, shoulders, chest and hips. Lisa looked up and winked at Kira
who smirked at her.
Randy and John completely stop speaking. John’s eyes looked as though they were
going to pop out of his head. Lisa said, “You’re late girl...Lemme catch up on
drinks...You’ve missed a few rounds.” Kira looked at John and winked as Lisa
took her hand and led her to the bar.
Randy nudged John and said, “See some eye candy you like?” John shook his head
no while sipping on a beer and said, “No I see a woman I’ve been in love with
for a little over 2 years...and been friends with for almost 4 years.” Randy
looked at John to make sure he wasn’t full of shit and just pulling his
leg...John looked at Randy shrugged his shoulders and Randy said, “Why the hell
haven’t you said anything to her?”
John said, “What am I supposed to say? She’s my best friend...Most of my
relationships don’t last for more then 5 or 6 months...I couldn’t put Kira
through that...and hell I wouldn’t wanna jeopardize my friendship with
her...what if we dated and broke up on bad terms...I’d lose the whole
friendship all together.” Randy shook his head slowly and said, “Yea I guess
you’re right...Are you ever going to tell her though?”
John downed the rest of his beer with Randy and took the four shots sitting in
front of each of them and said, “Not tonight buddy boy...I’m getting stinking
ass drunk and going back to the hotel and masturbate until my dick falls
off...and then once I get back from doing the movie...I’ll inform Kira that I
love her, but because of unforeseen circumstances I’ll never be able to
pleasure her because my penis fell off one night after 8 hours of crazy jerking
off.”
Randy couldn’t help but die laughing sitting next to John...Lisa and Kira
looked over and could see the guys laughing so hard...Lisa said, “Don’t you
wonder what the hell set them off tonight.” Kira said, “I’ll be anything it has
to do with penis or masturbation.” Lisa laughed and said, “You know something
you’re probably right.”
Kira downed 5 shots in 3 minutes...And then with Lisa down 6 more. She had a
fabulous buzz going and just wanted to stay that way all night...Not
drunk...but a nice buzz happenin. They walked back over to the table and Lisa
heard a great song getting ready to come on, so she grabbed Kira and pulled her
onto the dance floor with Tammy.
Since the DJ was in a booth...he flipped the sprinklers on...So the girls were
dancing sexy while getting wet...Any guys within a minute of the dance floor
had a hard on...
Lisa grabbed Kira spun her around until her back was against Lisa’s chest as
Kira pulled Tammy in front of her and the three of them started dancing
dirtier...as if it could get any dirtier.

Chapter 10
Another song came on and John with his
drunk self walked onto the dance floor and approached Kira and said, “I want to
dance with you, but you’re all wet now...” Kira smirked and out of no where
grabbed John and pulled him flush against her body and felt the front of his
clothes get soaked from Kira’s body. John laughed and shook his head at
her...He said, “I’m gonna miss you.” Kira smiled and said, “I know...but we’ll
survive...” Kira leaned over and kissed his cheek as the two danced.
John was barely steady on his own two feet by the time the night ended. He’d
gotten so wasted...his vision was blurry and wasn’t exactly sure who brought
him back to the hotel...at that point he didn’t care...
Kira walked John to his room and steadied him against the wall and dug in his
pants for his key card. She pulled it out and got the door open...John said,
“Can I tell you something?” Kira said, “Sure.” John started talking
jibberish...pretty much fluent drunkenise, and couldn’t remember her name to
save his life.
Kira just stared at John...he didn’t recognize her...damn he was drunker then
shit. As soon as the hotel door closed and Kira got John walked into the
bedroom, she laid him down...he looked up and suddenly recognized her...and
said, “Stay with me tonight Kira...Please...I don’t want to wake up alone in
the morning.” Kira bit her bottom lip and just nodded as she turned the lights
off...She went back and laid next to him on top of the covers both still
dressed.
John was running his fingers through her hair...She looked up at him and he
leaned down and kissed her...She could taste the beer and tequila on his
tongue...but for some reason she couldn’t stop kissing him...She could feel
John’s hands all over her body caressing her softly...
*****************************
Over and over I look in your eyes
You are all I desire
You have captured me
I want to hold you
I want to be close to you
I never want to let go
I wish that this night would never end
I need to know
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever...forever
Forever
*****************************
John pulled back and pulled her shirt from her body, as she yanked his t-shirt
off...John started trailing warm wet kisses down her neck and throat to her
breasts and nipples...
His lips circled around her right rosy nipple and Kira moaned out, “John.”
John’s hands came up and unbuttoned her jeans and he pulled them down with her
panties...he could already smell her arousal...she kicked her shoes and socks
off and he discarded her jeans and panties...as he discarded his jean shorts.
Kira scooted towards the foot of the bed and took John’s massive erection into
her tiny hands and stroked him slowly and methodically slid her tongue up his
shaft. John groaned out...as he wrapped his hands in her waist length chestnut
hair. She took his shaft into her warm wet mouth...he was in total heaven...but
he was trying to keep himself from exploding in her mouth...he eased himself
out of her mouth and laid her back onto the bed and crawled up her soft small
framed body, careful not to crush her...
She wrapped her legs around his waist again and his erection brushed against
her soaking wet center. Making both of them groan at the friction...John slid
two fingers into her to make sure she was ready enough for him...he didn’t want
to hurt her...He looked up and she bit her bottom lip as her back arched and
her center was pushed into his hand...oh yea...she was ready.
John moved around and slowly slid his painfully aching erection into her warm
wet center...he could feel her stretching and accommodating his shaft...all of
his shaft...once fully sheathed John sat there for a minute make sure she was
fully used to his size...and then slowly started working his hips back and
forth and working his erection in and out of her.
Every time he would push into her she would arch her back as though she wanted
him deeper. John grabbed her knees and pushed them up and apart and placed his
hands on the back of her thighs and as he pushed into her...he felt himself go
deeper...she must’ve felt it before cause she moaned low and hard.
John lifted her up and pushed her against the wall...and thrusting up...holding
onto the wall...She gripped his forearms for leverage...as John kissed and
licked down her neck and throat...nipping at her flesh with his teeth and then
soothing it with hot kisses...
*****************************
Over and over I’ve dreamed of this night
Now you’re here by my side
You are next to me
I want to hold you
And touch you and taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could never end
Oh baby please
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever and ever Oh
*****************************
John pulled out of her and she went to the bed and beckoned him with her index
finger...she laid on her back and beckoned John to her and John crawled between
her beautiful thighs and slid his erection onto her...this he could handle...he
gripped the bed sheets, while holding himself over her and started thrusting
into her...
Her hands touched his as she leaned up and traced his lips with her tongue and
he pulled her tongue into his mouth with his lips...and she could instantly
feel his erection swell to a larger size inside of her...it must’ve turned him
on a little more...actually A LOT more...
John’s hands went to her breast rolling her nipples and watching them
harden...his hand slid along her flat stomach, across her navel...and down to
her mound...where he found her clit waiting for contact from him....he started
rubbing circles around her clit with one hand as he kept his pace...Kira’s hands
trailing up and down his arms, back and running her hands through his hair
starting at the back of his neck and up as she pulled him to her...
When her hands clutched the bed...John could feel her inner walls starting to
clamp down around his shaft...John leaned over her, pulling her body tight
against his and kissed along her ear and in a low deep voice said, “You gonna
cum for my cock baby...huh...is that sweet little pussy of yours gonna cum for
me.”
Kira started pushing up against him...the hot air of his breath brushed against
her ear and him pumping into her relentlessly, was her undoing as she started
cumming instantly...she started off moaning and ended up screaming,
“JOOOOHHHHHNNNNN!!!!!”
John felt her cum cover his shaft and as her warm juices coated his
erection...he thrusted into her a few more times finally pushing himself all
the way into her and throwing his head back with a loud growl he exploded deep
inside of her. For several minutes they could both feel him spurting inside of
her still.
They collapsed on the bed trying to regulate their breathing.
*****************************
I don’t want any night to go by
Without you by...my side
I just want all my days
Spent being next to you
Lived for just loving you
And baby, oh by the way
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever...And ever Oh
Forever
*****************************
Kira slinked out of bed, when she heard John’s labored breathing...She got
dressed and ran like hell to her room...She laid in bed crying praying he
didn’t remember it...She couldn’t do it...she couldn’t admit her feelings to
him.
The next morning was hangover city for every one involved at the club the night
before...About 15 people standing in front of the hotel with sunglasses
on...watching as John loaded up his bags in the back of the taxi...Everyone
said they goodbyes...
Kira walked up and John said, “What happened last night?” Kira smiled and said,
“You passed out and I had one of the boys bring you back...you light
weight...I’m never drinking with you again...Can’t even hold your own liquor.”
John pulled her into a massive hug and he said, “I’ll be back in 2 months for a
break and some street fighting with the punk and his bitch...and to see
you...Then two more months...and happy days, well back on the road together.”
Kira said, “Okay...Please try to keep in touch.” John nodded and said, “As much
as humanly possible.” Kira smiled her big smile for him and they hugged again.
Kira watched as the taxi disappeared...He didn’t remember...that’s the way she
wanted it...she wouldn’t tell a soul what happened...She smiled as John looked
back and waved...As every one headed out and moved on to the next town.
Kira wiped a few stray tears away and walked back into the hotel to collect
what was the rest of her life and stopped by John’s room...to pick up her heart.
Chapter 11
Kira had been dreading the night she
spent with John...She knew better then to let it continue after the kiss...She
knew he was extremely wasted...and she was only buzzed. But he was to drunk to
stop himself and she loved him too much to even attempt to stop him. She felt
like a sewer rat...actually she felt like a ring rat...
Even though no one knew what had transpired in John’s hotel room the night
before he left...she felt lower then dirt. And now to top it all off...She was
sitting in the bathroom, after having taken a shower with a towel wrapped
around her body looking at the pregnancy test stick. It was positive...She was
positive she was going to throw herself off the roof of the hotel.
Kira ran a shaky hand through her hair. She couldn’t be pregnant. There was
another test in the box and she went ahead and peed on that one too...even
though she knew the first was right...Her period was 1 week late...and usually
you could set a clock by it. She looked at the second test after getting
dressed and oh yea, she was pregnant.
- -A month later- -
John was due back in the states for a week. He walked into the hotel and
couldn’t have been more excited to be back in all his life. He realized it was
only a few days, but he needed it...He missed Kira like crazy. He just wanted
to hug her so bad. He got checked into his room, and was walking down to Kira’s
room, when he ran into Randy Orton, one of his closest friends from the Raw
brand and found out that Smackdown and Raw were having a show together.
John said, “Do you know if Kira’s in her room?” Randy said, “Yea, she probably
is, she’s sick.” John said, “Again? How bad is it?” Randy laughed and said,
“About as bad as having morning sickness and being 2 months pregnant can be.”
John’s face fell and said, “What did you just say?” Randy said, “She didn’t
tell you yet? Man, I’m sorry, she’s about 2 months pregnant...It happened the
night we had the going away drinking club party for you.”
John closed his eyes and felt as though he’d been punched in the stomach. John
nodded a silent bye to Randy as he continued to Kira’s room. He stood looking
at the door for 5 minutes and then raised his hand which he felt like it
weighted a ton and finally knocked.
A few minutes Kira opened the door and smiled huge, John grabbed her and pulled
her into his arms, and just held her while she held him back.
Kira finally pulled away and grabbed John and pulled him into her hotel...Kira
was picking up around her hotel room and John pushed his hands into his front
jean short pockets and said, “So Randy told me about the baby. What are you
going to do?”
Kira looked at John and her bottom lip was shaking a little and said, “I don’t
know...Look I’ll be honest with you John...I don’t know who the father is...”
John got this look on his face like he couldn’t stand to look at her...She
never felt so disgusted in all her life.
John said, “How’s that?” Kira said, “Hell, everyone was drunk that night...I
was no exception to the rule...I just didn’t realize I’d gone to someone’s
hotel and gotten laid until I woke up the next morning naked. I didn’t even
have the guts to say anything to the guy or wake him up...I just hauled ass.”
John said, “How could you put yourself through something like that? Don’t you
feel like a slut or a whore now?”
Kira’s head popped up, as she felt tears in his eyes and said, “Well yea John,
thank you for pointing out my faults as an adult, remind me to repay you some
time.” John said, “I was just asking, cause you don’t look very ashamed.” Kira
said, “Get out.” John said, “What?” Kira said, “I can’t believe you...You’re my
best friend and you just blatantly said I don’t looked ashamed for feeling like
a slut or a whore...Get out of my hotel room now.”
John said, “Listen, if you want to screw around that’s your business, but I
don’t want to be associated with someone who doesn’t even know her own babies
father.”
Kira blinked and tears slid down her cheeks and she said, “I sincerely hope you
mean that John Cena, cause after the way you just treated me a friendship with
you would be nothing but poison and hate...Because I hate you for what you’ve
said...You’re supposed to be my best friend...And you’ve ruined it...Just go
back to Australia, finish your fuckin movie, come back win your stupid US title,
keep living your pathetic life and stay out of mine.”
John walked out the door and said, “No problem, but don’t come crying to me
cause you don’t know who the father is.” As he stalked down the hallway back to
his room.
Kira slammed the door and leaned against it crying and said, “But I do know who
he is...It’s you.”
John couldn’t help but feel he’d made the biggest mistake...He’d reduced his
best friend and the love of his life to tears not more then 2 seconds ago, and
now he felt like someone removed his heart from his chest and was jumping on
it.
The rest of the week flew by and John was gone back to
John hadn’t even been back to Australia for 5 days, when his cell phone rang,
while he was at his hotel, trying to talk himself into calling Kira and
apologizing.
John looked down and it was Randy. John answered, “Hello.” Randy said, “John?”
John said, “Yea Randy what’s up?”
Randy said, “Its Kira...She lost the baby and nearly died.”
Chapter 12
John laid back on the bed...His cell
phone against his ear as he stared at the ceiling. He could feel tears
threatening to swell in his eyes. He blinked and could feel the tears fall.
Randy heard nothing but silence and then he heard John sniffle. Randy said,
“John...Man you ok?” John cleaned his mind and stared at the ceiling and said,
“What the hell happened? I was just there.”
Randy said, “Apparently she’d been having abdominal pains...and was just
ignoring them...She started bleeding badly, once she got to the hospital and
found out she had an Ectopic pregnancy, it’s where the fetus doesn’t finish
going down and gets trapped in the fallopian tube...”
Randy sighed and said, “By the time Kira dropped from the pain...It was too
late...Her fallopian tube literally exploded and she had to go in for
reconstructive surgery. The doctor said the pain had to be excruciating...but
she apparently has a high tolerance for pain. Lisa and I found her bleeding in
her office at the arena.”
John sat up and started pacing around his room and said, “There’s no way I can
get back to be with her...Jesus I was so fuckin mean to her. I want to talk
with Lisa right now.” Randy said, “Okay man.” Randy handed the phone to Lisa
and she said, “What’s up honey?” John said, “I know you talk to Kira...you tell
me right now...Tell me everything I don’t know...”
Lisa said, “John, It’s not my place to tell you anything.”
John said, “THE HELL IT ISN’T LISA! I know there’s something that Kira’s not
telling me...I want to know what the FUCK is going on, RIGHT NOW! She looked
too guilty the day I left, she looked even guiltier when I came back and
questioned her about the baby...I said hateful things to her...She didn’t even
fight back...She just took it...and you know that’s not like her...She doesn’t
take shit from me.”
Lisa said, “John calm down...First off, it’s not my place to tell you anything
and second Kira wants to tell you herself, but she wants to wait until you’re
face to face with her, not over the phone or in some cheesy e-mail.”
John said, “Then you do know...You know something isn’t right...Please
Lisa...Please tell me. I know it has something to do with the pregnancy and the
night before I left is so fuzzy in my head...I don’t remember passing out...I
don’t remember anything...I was so wasted.”
Lisa could hear the panic in John’s voice and said, “John everyone was
wasted...” John said, “No, I know I was but, I had a dream that felt like it
was too real...I dreamt I made love to Kira...But when I woke up she was
gone...She told me I passed out and she had one of the guys take me back to my
room...When I woke up the next morning I was completely naked...I don’t sleep
naked...The dream had to of been real.”
Lisa said, “JOHN!” John stopped babbling and calmed himself and said, “What?”
Lisa said, “Will you please just calm down...I’m not going to tell you
anything, because I promised Kira...She wants to tell you herself...She’s got a
lot of information for you...but if you’re going to get like this with her when
you’re back, you won’t get anything from her. She had a hard time coming to
grips with the pregnancy that she didn’t expect...And now she’s going to have
an even harder time because of losing the baby, she’d finally decided she
wanted in her life.”
John breathed a little and said, “2 months...It’s gonna be the worse two months
of my life. Lisa take care of her for me please...She’s my best friend...I
don’t know what I’d do without her in my life.” Lisa said, “John, I won’t let
her out of my sit once she leaves this hospital...I swear on my life.” John
mumbled something as he hung up the phone.
John got in the shower trying to process everything he’d heard on the
phone...He was mad at himself for getting so drunk he couldn’t remember
anything...It wasn’t like him to ever get that drunk...But that night he needed
it, he hated the thought of leaving Kira for 4 months...The dream had felt so
real...I guess there are some dreams that you want to come true so bad they
can’t help but feel real.
John was NOW aware of the fact that Kira almost died. John hit the wall in the
shower and couldn’t help but cry...He cried so hard...he’d never cried a day in
his life and when he was suddenly conscious to the fact that the love of his
life could be dead before he had a chance to spill his heart to her.
Chapter 13
Kira survive the last two months without
John...Lisa had take some sick leave to take care of her and she was completely
grateful for Lisa and Randy for keeping her laughing while she was healing.
Lisa had told her John would be ready for that talk Kira had been claiming it
was going to be time for when he returned.
Kira wasn’t really dreading the talk as much as she was the reaction she was
going to get from John. After Lisa and Randy went back on the road with the Raw
roster, Kira and Tammy were spending tons of time together...Tonight was no
exception.
The arena was completely empty...Smackdown wasn’t until the following night.
Kira and Tammy were lying down in the ring; opposite to each other...They were
laughing and talking. Tammy said, “So exactly how terrified of John you are
right now?” Kira looked up and said, “You don’t want to know. I’m petrified.”
Tammy scoffed and said, “Why? You know he’d never hurt you.”
Kira said, “Hell I know that...I just...I kept a lot of shit from him for 4
months, screw that almost 4 years...and as soon as he gets back it’s all going
to come down to me telling him the complete truth...I’m not sure if I’m scared
of his reaction as so much as I’m scared to death he’s going to just walk away
and never speak to me again.”
Tammy laughed and said, “John Cena...Never speak to you again? Kira even if he
tried to do that he’d never accomplish it...You said it yourself you guys have
been best friends for nearly 4 years.” Kira said, “Actually now that I think
about it...Tonight marks 4 years. Damn why does everything have to come down to
timing.”
Tammy said, “C’mon timing is everything...You should know that, as if tonight
wasn’t obvious enough for you.” Kira said, “Yea...you just keep sitting there
and making jokes and I’ll tell you who the real father of your child is.” Tammy
rolled over and faced Kira as they started laughing...
They didn’t notice the person sitting up at the top of the arena seating
watching them.
John moved around in the seat a little to get comfortable. He had his headphone
on and was switching through some radio stations to see what sounded
good...Now...He was never one to listen to country music but for some reason a
country station DJ caught him with some hick band names Big & Rich. John
listened to the music as he turned the volume up and listened to the
lyrics...It sounded like Kira...The lyrics matched her perfect.
*****************************
Somewhere
There's a stolen halo
I used to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine
Wherever she would go
But lookin at her now
You'd never tell
Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get out of her head
And I can only imagine
What she's feelin when she's prayin
Kneeling at the edge of her bed
And she says - take me away
And take me farther
Surround...me...now
And hold - hold - hold me
Like holy water
Holy water
She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She's looking through the faces
And unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she cries
And she says - take me away
And take me farther
Surround...me...now
And hold - hold - hold me
Like holy water
She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she's felt
She wants to feel the healing hands
Of someone who understands
And she says - take me away
And take me farther
Surround...me...now
And hold - hold - hold me
And she says
Take me away
And take me farther
Surround...me...now
And hold - hold - hold me
Like holy water
Like holy water
Like holy water
Like holy water

Tammy looked at Kira and said, “Speaking of my child’s father...I’m going to go
check on him. Wanna come?” Kira said, “And be around all that sappy family
bullshit...Get real...Besides I’m enjoying the peace and quiet while I can. I
have a feeling a lot of yelling is going to be done once John gets here.” Tammy
nodded knowingly as she slid out and walked back to the back of the arena.
John watched as Tammy left and took that as his cue to walk down and talk with
Kira.
Chapter 14
A silky familiar voice said, “There will
be no yelling when John gets here, because John doesn’t feel like yelling.”
Kira’s head popped up as John stepped into the ring. Kira scrambled to her
feet...She just stood looking at John with his white t-shirt, jean shorts, tenny
shoes and his baseball cap on.
Kira was chewing on her lip with John standing not more then 3 feet from
her...John couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Please come over here and hug me
before I die.” Kira smiled softly and wasted no time walking over and getting
in his arms. John’s huge arms surrounded her whole body as he pulled her into
his...and her arms went around his neck and shoulders.
John could feel her shaking in his arms...She had the sniffles, he knew she was
crying. She had her hand closed and fisted part of his t-shirt...Like she was
holding on for dear life. John couldn’t help but get misty eyed. John’s voice
was shaky when he said, “Damn girl, you’d think I was never coming back the way
you’re holding on.” Kira took a shaky breath and said, “It really felt like
it.” John said, “Do we want to talk here or go back to the hotel?” Kira said,
“I don’t care...It’s really up to you...All you have to do is listen.”
John rubbed Kira’s back and said, “C’mon let’s go back to the hotel...We’ll
both be more comfortable there.” Kira nodded as she pulled away and was wiping
her eyes. John reached up and wiped her eyes with his thumbs, trying to calm
her down. They headed back to the hotel...once there, she changed into her
sleeping attire which was usually boy shorts and a tank top, but she was a
little cold and pulled on some soft material black track pants.
John changed into his white track pants as he sat down on the couch and waited
for Kira to emerge from the bathroom. She finally emerged and as she sat down
she pulled her hair over her shoulder like always. John moved closer as she
tucked her knees into her chest and John held out his hand...She looked at
John’s beautiful blue eyes and let a shaky hand go into his as he covered it
with the other hand and rubbed it and said, “Okay...I’m calm...Talk to me.”
Kira ran her free hand down her cheek and said, “I guess starting with the
truth is good right?” John nodded as Kira said, “The night before you left, you
were wasted, but you didn’t pass out...I got worried about your safety and
brought you back to the hotel...I walked you up to your room and you pulled me
in the room with you...I was sure you didn’t realize it was me...but I started
to leave and you asked me to stay with you...I didn’t have an objections, and I
wanted to just stay in the same bed with you before you had to leave.”
Kira took a breath and said, “I looked up at you and you leaned down and kissed
me...and the nasty taste of Beer and Tequila should’ve been enough of a warning
for me to stop it...You was too wasted to stop and I couldn’t...and I didn’t
want too...We ended up making love...When it was over, I guess you could say I
freaked out...I didn’t have the guts to stay and I sure as hell didn’t have the
guts to tell you what happened the next morning. I wasn’t sure I would of liked
your reaction...And I didn’t want to find out what it would have been.”
John reached over and grabbed a tissue and handed it to Kira...She took it and
wiped her eyes...John said, “Is that all?” Kira shook her head no and suddenly
started crying harder...John took that as his cue to say, “That baby was
mine...wasn’t it?” Kira couldn’t stop crying and just nodded. John’s head fell
back against the cushions of the couch...Kira could see his chest rising and falling
a little faster.
John shook his head no and said, “Why didn’t you tell me Kira? Were you that
ashamed to be pregnant from me or scared...or what?” Kira couldn’t stop the
tears and through several shaky breaths said, “I didn’t want to ruin your
life.” John’s head snapped up and said, “What...Why would you think that?”
Kira pulled her hand from John’s as she stood up and started pacing and said,
“Oh C’mon John...You have everything going for you...You’ve got a great life
time career, you were shooting a movie, and when you get back they are going to
give you the US title back and plus a shot for the Heavy weight gold at
WrestleMania. I mean c’mon, I was already ruining my life by bringing a baby
into the world and not knowing a damn thing about being a mother...I wasn’t
about to ruin your life too...”
John said, “Come back over and sit down...” Kira walked over and sat down and
John pulled her to him...He said, “Calm down please...I can’t take you crying
like this, you’re breaking my heart literally.”
Kira calmed down a bit more and John said, “Is this everything?” Kira shook her
head no and John raised his eye brows and said, “No?” Kira shook her head again
and he said, “Okay continue.” Kira said, “I love you.” John said, “I know that
honey, but keep going.” Kira said, “No John...I love you...When we did make
love, I couldn’t stop you because I loved you so much. I mean hello...tonight
marks the 4 years we’ve been best friends...But I stopped seeing you as a best
friend 3 years ago.”
John closed his eyes...She did not just admit she was in love with him...he was
praying he heard it all wrong...His best friend did not just say she loves him
as much as he loves her...Kira touched his forearm and said, “John, Please say
something.”
Everything sort of went in slow motion, John got his breathing under control as
he opened his eyes and looked at Kira, her violet eyes were blood shot from
crying so hard, John couldn’t stop himself this time, he took her face in both
hands and pulled her to him as he captured her lips with his...What really made
the moment even better is when she started kissing him back...They kept kissing
as he carefully moved her around so her upper body was in his arms as they
tongues caressed each other and ever soft space and spot in each others mouths.
John could feel Kira had her fingers weaved into his short hair at the back of
his neck and loved the feeling of it being her that was caressing him as he
practically kissed her breathless...They spent the entire night just laying on
the couch kissing...No words were spoken...Nothing needed to be
spoken...everything would be handled in the morning, when they both had clearer
heads.
Chapter 15
In the morning, Kira woke up and John was
missing from the couch. She looked over and his bags were sitting by the door.
She slowly sat up and looked over and John was sitting in the chair across the
room his head was back against the chair as he was sleeping.
Kira got up and moved around a little and went to take a shower. She got out
and dressed...John was awake by then and moving around the room. Kira walked
over and said, “Hi.” John just looked at her and she walked over to hug him,
and for the first time in his life, John grabbed Kira’s arms and stopped her
from hugging him.
*****************************
If you're not the one
Then why does my soul feel glad today
If you're not the one
Then why does my hand fit yours this way
If you are not mine
Then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine
Would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don't wanna run away
But I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you
Then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way
That I can stay...in your arms
*****************************
Kira gave him a funny look as he said, “I think we should talk.” John sat down
as Kira watched him as he ran his hands over his face and sighed heavy. Kira
said, “What the hell is going on John?”
About that time, Kira’s cell phone start ringing...she picked it up and it was
Stephanie. She said the travel person for Raw had retired and she was needed on
Raw more then Smackdown...and that she’d be traveling with Raw permanently.
Kira just said ok as she hung up the phone and looked at John who wouldn’t look
at her.
Kira dropped her phone and said, “You did this didn’t you?” John wouldn’t
answer her as she said, “DIDN’T YOU?”
John stood up and said, “What did you expect...you fuckin lied to me Kira...You
lied about the baby about fucking me...about a bunch of bullshit. All you would
have had to do was tell me the truth and I wouldn’t feel like I had to get away
from you! Yes I did it. I don’t want to see your face anymore.”
*****************************
If I don't need you
Then why am I crying on my bed
If I don't need you
Then why does your name resound in my head
If you're not for me
Then why does this distance maim my life
If you're not for me
Then why do I dream of you as my wife
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don't wanna run away
But I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you
Then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way
That I can stay...in your arms
*****************************
Kira never thought in a million years John would ever say that.
The truth was John just needed some time away from Kira, and with them on the
same roster payroll it would be hard to move on with her right down the hall.
John was dying inside...He was sure after the make out session they had the
night before that everything was being put behind them, and they could move on
to a great future...but John couldn’t get past the lies...
True, he knew she had valid points...and it nearly broke his heart when she
said she didn’t want to ruin his life...He felt like she was lying to him
again...so he called Stephanie and told her the situation...the other travel
guy wasn’t retiring, he was transferred to Smackdown and Kira was going to
Raw...He knew he was a real asshole for fucking up her life like that...but he
needed his space, before he could even look at her again and let his feelings
for her continue.
Kira was pushing her stuff into her bag as huge tears slid down her
cheeks...John felt like such an asshole...But he couldn’t think of another
way...This was the best thing for him...Even if it wasn’t the best thing for
her. John felt like a coward, like he was running away from her...even though
she was the one leaving...John felt like he was running.
John watch as Kira hefted her bag over her shoulder and John said, “I’m really
sorry Kira...I just think...” Before he could finish, Kira looked at him and
said, “I get it John...You’re the star of Smackdown...Why would you leave? If
were finished I have to go, I have a flight home to catch...Thanks a lot Mr.
Cena...It’s been a little slice of Heaven...Good luck at WrestleMania.” Kira
turned and left.
John wasn’t sure what hurt more, the fact that the love of his life just walked
out of his life for probably good...or the fact that she said he was the star
of Smackdown and called him Mr. Cena. John stood by the window and watched as
Kira got in a taxi and drove off.
*****************************
'Cause I miss you body and soul
So strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart
And pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you... whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
I don't wanna run away
But I can't take it, I don’t understand
If I'm not made for you
Then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way I can stay...in your arms
*****************************
Kira walked into the arena...She’d talked to Lisa that morning, who had
recently broken up with Randy, because they couldn’t stop fighting and had
started dating Tyson Tomko out of the blue...She called him goat boy...but said
he was great in bed. She was excited that Kira had been transferred to Raw
again, but not for the reasons behind it.
Out of everyone in her life Lisa knew exactly how much it broke Kira’s heart to
hear John said he never wanted to see her again...Especially the day after she
confessed her love for him...She said they had a big make out session like he
was getting in something free before he pushed her out of his life forever.
Lisa was at the entrance to meet Kira. They hugged for the longest time. Lisa
tried to help Kira settle in. But she could tell the life was missing from her
big violet eyes...She’d never be the same.
And every one knew it.
Randy had heard about Kira being transferred, but not why...He walked down and
found her make shift office and knocked. He heard a some what come in...so he
walked in. Randy looked at Kira’s expressionless face and knew something bad
had gone down.
Randy closed the door and sat down on the couch in her office and said,
“Kira...C’mere.” Kira pushed herself back and walked over and sat next to Randy
and he said, “Tell me.” Kira said, “Tell you what?” Randy said, “Tell me why
you look like you’re half dead.” Kira blinked and tears immediately slid down
her cheeks. Randy wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to him and held her
while she cried...She didn’t even cry this hard when she lost the baby.
Randy got her calmed down and she finally told him the whole story. Randy
couldn’t believe John had done that. He could only think of John as the biggest
asshole friend in his life.
Chapter 16
- -3 Months Later - WrestleMania night- -
Kira was walking down the hallway in the back of the arena...This was one of
the four Pay Pre-views that BOTH rosters would participate in. She knew she’d
see John again eventually...but when she walked around the corner and saw Trish
Stratus in his arms, with their tongues shoved in each others mouths...she was
definitely not fully prepared for it.
Kira came to a stop...and her face fell completely.
John and Trish were suddenly aware that someone looking at them...They broke
the kiss, as John looked up and saw Kira...she’d seen the whole thing.
Kira blinked and couldn’t move. Kira looked down...Trish ran over and grabbed
Kira’s hand and said, “I’m sorry Kira...I should have told you...I never meant
to keep it from you...I’m so sorry Kira...” Kira looked up and her violet eyes
were on fire...
Kira jerked her right hand out of Trish’s grip and then pushed her fist
forward, completely knocking Trish out as she fell over an equipment trunk. As
Kira just stood there staring at Trish’s lifeless body, John walked over and
grabbed her upper arms and jerked her around to face him...Which was probably a
bad thing to do.
Kira was struggling to get her arms free from John...John felt the sting before
he had a chance to see the hand come across his cheek...John’s eye widened when
he looked over and Kira’s eyes were blood shot from crying probably...She
brought her hands up and shoved him away from her as hard as he could as she
turned and walked away and went back to her office.
She leaned against her office door with her head buried in her hands
crying...she was crying so hard...Why did life have to be so confusing and
difficult? Kira had decided she was done trying to figure out this life. Fuck
em all. She walked over and shoved the lamp on her desk off as sparks flew from
it as the light bulb blew from hitting the concrete floor...She shoved every
thing off her desk...and closed her laptop.
She heard someone open her office door and saw John step in and hadn’t even
closed the door as a coffee cup full off coffee came flying past his head and
his the wall in the hallway...and then a coffee cup full of pencils few at his
head and he had to duck and run out of the office as the cup shattered against
the wall right above his head.
She started chucking encyclopedia books him as he was squatted down in the
hallway...He hadn’t even said anything to her...He thought she was losing her
mind...What the hell had he done?
She had three CD cases full of burned CDs that John had done for her...she
started chucking the CDs at John individually...She wasn’t saying a word, she
was just crying and freaking out...Not like she didn’t have EVERY right too.
David Bautisita walked up when he seen John squatting in the hallway dodging
CDs that were actually being flung at him and were actually sticking in the
side of the damn equipment trunks.
David peaked into the office and saw it was Kira...She must’ve found out about
John and Trish...What a crumby way to find out a close friend of yours was
dating someone you were too blinded by love to forget. David took off down the
hall to get Randy...
Kira walked out of the office and stood in front of John and said, “Some liar
huh?” John said, “If you’ll just let me explain.” Kira said, “No thanks Mr.
Cena...I think I can figure it out without being told a story like a fuckin
five year old.” Kira was breathing heavy...She said, “How long have you guys
been dating?” John said, “It’s not important.”
Through clenched teeth Kira said, “How long?” John said, “We started dating
before I left to do the movie.”
Kira said, “You son of a bitch...You sat there and made me spill my guts to you
like it would fuckin matter...You made me tell you shit that would have just
been better left to fuckin die...And then fuckin kissed me like you couldn’t
get enough of me...and now I get to find out that you and little miss hot pants
have been fucking for the last 8 months?”
John started to move and she jerked his hat off his head and shoved him back
down to the floor and said, “You fuckin stay there and don’t move.” John wasn’t
dumb enough to get up...Kira was extremely unstable.
Kira ran her hand through her hair and said, “Why did you do it John...Why...I
told you I’d been in love with you since I practically met you...was it some
fuckin cruel joke...You were my best friend and you treated me like I was a
common whore...and then had me transferred to Raw...You’re a fuckin bastard, do
you know that? I may have lied to you...but guess what...it will never compare
to what you’ve done to me...”
Kira leaned against the wall breathing heavy again...She could literally feel
her heart breaking inside of her chest...Her chest was nothing but a bundle of
pain...She held her hand over the middle of her chest as she tried to control
her breathing...Streams of tears sliding down her cheeks...Nothing could have
stopped the tears...not even if everyone jumped out and yelled ‘April Fools’...
Kira looked at her cell phone in her hand and dropped it on the ground and
turned and started walking down the hallway...she wasn’t sure where she was
going...but she just knew she had to get out of the arena...She couldn’t
breathe the same air as John Cena.
John jumped up and half way down the hall he called after her...She looked back
and then took off running...Randy stepped out of the dressing room just in time
to grab Kira as she started to run by...John said, “Hold on to her Randy.”
Randy kept a hold of her wrist as she struggled to get free...He said, “Kira
what’s wrong...What’s going on?”
Kira stopped her struggle and looked at Randy and said, “I’m sorry Randy.”
Randy looked at her quizzically and felt the pain in his groin before getting a
chance to see her foot kicking him in the balls. Randy let go of her as she
just took off running again.
John stopped to check on Randy as David walked out when he heard the
commotion...Randy was laying on the ground trying to breathe again...but was
having a hard time of it...She hadn’t kicked him full force, which he was
grateful for...but it was enough for him to release her wrist.
Kira had no clue where she was going...She just kept running...She was running
down the rainy streets of LA, crying, trying to get as far away from the arena
as possible...She ran for miles and miles and miles...not having a particular
place of origin...but just wanting to get away.
She finally stopped near a hotel and squatted down leaning against the
wall...trying to breathe...trying to slow her breathing from the run...Her
clothes hair everything was soaking wet...the rain was still coming down all
around her and even on her...but she couldn’t run anymore...She walked into the
hotel...surprisingly enough she got her voice back enough to say, “I’m sorry
I’m a mess...but I had to get away.”
The desk clerk watched as her shaky cold hands pulled a credit card and a
driver’s license out and in a shaky voice she said, “Can I please get a room?”
The clerk said, “Right away ma’am.” He swallowed hard as he ran the card and
got her a room key and made she to get her a personal escort to the room, to
make sure she made it there in one piece.
Kira kicked off her shoes and socks and laid in bed rolled into a small
ball...And just cried her heart out...She cried with everything she had in
her...And ended up crying herself to sleep.

Chapter 17
Lisa, Tyson, Randy, David, Paul, Mark,
Tammy and John were all sitting in Lisa and Kira’s hotel room. They hadn’t
heard from Kira since last night...Randy had called in a favor to a friend who
was trying to run a trace on her credit cards, to see when and where or if
they’d been used last night.
Lisa ran her fingers through her jet black hair and said, “I can’t believe you
didn’t tell her John...Jesus Christ...I can’t believe this mess.” John said,
“What was I supposed to tell her?” Lisa said, “Oh something along the lines
of...’Hey Kira, I might be in love with you but I’ve been fuck buddies with
Trish since before I left to shoot my fuckin movie.’ That good enough for you?”
Tyson rubbed Lisa’s shoulders to try and calm her down. David said, “What I
don’t get is...Everyone of you knew with the exception of Me, Paul and
Tammy...and no one felt the need to fill her in...Some friends you people
turned out to be.” Lisa said, “I found out 2 nights ago when I saw Trish and
John screwing in the maintenance closet at the arena...I had been calling and
looking for Kira...I was gonna tell her thank you very much. Tyson found out
when I told him.”
Mark said, “Fine...I’ll admit it, I knew about it.” Tammy looked at Mark and
slapped his arm as hard as she could. Tammy said, “She’s mine and Lisa’s best
friend and you couldn’t tell us...PLEASE remind me what I saw in you that I
wanted to get married and have a kid with you.” Mark said, “John asked me not
to say anything.”
Randy said, “I didn’t even know John and Trish were screwing...They started
around the time Lisa and I started fighting constantly...Once we broke up, I
didn’t really have any contact with anyone...I saw Kira when she first got to
Raw...and she told me what John had done...I have to tell you man...That was a
fucked up thing to do...Even though last night is the fuckin topper...Why did
you do it John?”
John ran his hand through his short brown hair and said, “The night Kira cried
and told me everything...I started kissing her and I couldn’t stop...I lost
total control over myself with her...We were so close to making love...and I
didn’t want to do that...I laid their with her sleeping in my arms and I had
every intention of breaking things off with Trish...I didn’t love her...and we
both knew we were only dating because the sex was good...I loved Kira from the
beginning...I never stopped loving her.”
John sighed heavy as he stood up and started walking around the room and said,
“She was right...She might have lied to me, but it will never compare to what I
did to her...I lied to her...I’ve been lying to her for 8 almost 9 months...At
least she told me the truth...But the only thing that bugs me...is why she just
didn’t tell me about the baby.”
Lisa said, “HELLO! John she was terrified of ruining your life.” John said,
“But why though? I’m not a monster...Well I fuckin am now. But I wouldn’t have
gone into monster mode had she just told me.”
Lisa said, “John, you have no clue how much Kira felt for you...Do you? You
don’t have one damn clue...She was so proud of you for winning the us title...and
then getting the movie role...She was BEAMING when she found out about the
movie...She’s been in the company as long as you, and from the very beginning,
she has always said you were gonna be one of the select few who made a name for
himself...”
Lisa wiped the tears from her cheeks and continued, “She saw you going huge
places...Like last night when you won the belt from John Layfield...She
knew...She KNEW you were going to win. Don’t you get it? If she would of told
you that the baby was yours...everyone knows you would have stop chasing the
championship to be with her...She wasn’t about to stand in your way...she
wasn’t going to ruin your life...She may have loved you so much she couldn’t
see straight...but she also loved you enough to leave you alone.”
John could feel the tightness in his chest...He really had made a mess of
things. He lied to his best friend and the love of his life...
And now to make matters worse...She was missing...
Chapter 18
*****************************
I'm awake in the afternoon
I fell asleep in the living room
And it's one of those moments
When everything is so clear
Before the truth goes back into hiding
I want to decide 'cause it's worth deciding
To work on finding something more than this fear
It takes so much out of me to pretend
Tell me now, tell me how to make amends
Maybe...I need to see the daylight
Leave behind this half-life
Don't you see...I'm breaking down
Oh Lately...Something here don't feel right
This is just a half-life
Is there really no escape
No escape from time...of any kind
*****************************
Kira rolled around in the bed...She stretched and felt the pain slowly leak
through her tired body. Her legs and muscles were sore, no doubt from the run
the night before. She rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling for the
longest time...She had decided she wasn’t going to let someone do this to
her...
She might love John, but she refused to let it control her life any longer.
She pulled herself up and could feel the headache making it’s way through her
skull. Her clothes had actually dried from the rain the night before...She
stood and pealed them off and walked into the bathroom, desperately needing a
shower.
She got in as the warm watcher enveloped her body into a warm cocoon of heat.
She stood under the shower just letting the water coat her skin, hair and body.
Kira got out of the shower dried off and got redressed in the clothes she had
on the night before...
She finally felt like she was ready to face the day.
*****************************
I keep trying to understand
This thing and that thing, my fellow man
I guess I'll let you know
When I figure it out
But I don't mind a few mysteries
They can stay that way it's fine by me
And you are another mystery...I am missing
It takes to much out of me...to pretend
Maybe...I need to see the daylight
Leave behind the half-life
Don't you see...I'm breaking down
Oh Lately...Something here don't feel right
This is just a half-life
Is there really no escape
No escape from time...of any kind
Come on lets fall in love
Come on lets fall in love
Come on lets fall in love...again
*****************************
She walked down to the reception desk and handed her key back to the clerk as
he said, “How was your stay ma’am?”
She smiled at him...It was the same guy from the night before. She took his
hand in hers and squeezed a little as she leaned over the desk and kissed his
cheek and said, “Excellent...I feel better then I’ve felt in the last 3
months...Thank you for everything last night...I really appreciate it.”
Kira winked at him as she turned and walked outside. She smiled as she felt the
sun warm on her face...She stood and turned her face upwards to the warmth and
felt it all around her...It felt good to have control over herself finally. She
sighed as she walked across the street and pulled money out of the ATM and the
haled a cab for the hotel she was really checked in at.
Kira watched the busy streets of LA as the taxi driver took her the long way to
the hotel...She loved it...They even drove by a park and she laughed at the
kids playing at the playground. She made small chit chat with the driver and as
they pulled up to the hotel, Kira stepped out and leaned in the front window
and handed the guy a hundred dollar bill...He was about to give her change and
she said, “You keep it...It’s only money...Life is more important then
anything.”
Kira walked into the hotel and up to her room...She pulled the key card out of
her back pocket as she slowly slipped it in the slot.
*****************************
'Cause lately...Something here don't feel right
This is just a half-life,
Without you...I am breaking down
Oh wake me... I want to see the daylight
Save me from this half-life
Let's you and I escape
Escape from time
Come on lets fall in love
Come on lets fall in love
Come on lets fall in love...again
*****************************
Chapter 19
Everyone’s heads snapped around when they
heard someone messing with the door...They were shocked to see Kira push the
door open and said, “I really hate those keys.” As she flung it across the room
and Randy snapped it out of the air. She looked up and saw everyone standing in
her and Lisa’s room. She looked over at John and said, “What the hell are you
doing here?”
John stuttered over a few mumbled words before, Kira threw her thumb pointing
at the door and said, “Get out.” John stood up and said, “We need to talk.”
Kira said, “Yea? I don’t feel like listening or talking...What a surprise eh?”
John said, “This is Lisa’s room too.” Lisa scoffed and said, “Get out John,
While you’re a head...She’s got more shit she can throw at you and this
time...I just might help.”
John walked over to Kira, and she stepped back and John said, “When you’re
ready to hear the truth Please come talk to me.” Kira crossed her arms over her
chest and said, “I think I’ve heard enough truth to last me a life
time...Thanks...I tell ya what...If and when I feel like a good pissed off mood
or a nice long cry...Then I’ll come to you...Until then...Get out.”
John walked out as Mark, Tammy and Lisa grabbed Kira into a huge hug. Kira
said, “I’m okay you guys.”
She was a little shaky...But she would be ok...and knew she really would be ok.
Kira turned around and saw Randy standing there and walked up to him and said,
“I’m really sorry for kicking you...I know it probably doesn’t help the
fact...I just wanted you to let go.” Randy said, “It’s fine...I’m sore, but
I’ll live...I’m just glad you’re okay...You had me worried.” Kira smiled as she
kissed his cheek and he pulled her into a huge hug...As Paul and David being
the characters, came over and joined the hug...
They could hear Kira laughing in the middle and thought it was the best sound
in the world.
Kira pulled out and said, “I need to go take care of something...I’ll be right
back.”
She took her key card from Randy and walked out and down the hallway...And
knocked on the door. A 5’7” blonde with a black eye opened the door and when
she saw it was Kira ducked...
Kira laughed a little and said, “Trish...I come in piece.” Trish said, “Are you
sure?” Kira nodded as Trish let her in and closed the door...Kira said, “I’m
really sorry about last night Trish...You’ve always been a really good friend
to me...and what I did last night was uncalled for...My temper got the better
of me.”
Trish said, “No...I totally deserved it...Every one has known how you felt
about John and when he said for us to keep it between us...I should of at least
told you...I mean...I realize were not exactly dating seriously or
anything...but on our days off and at PPV’s he does keep me company.”
Kira said, “John wasn’t mine...He never was...He was just my best friend that I
had crazy feelings for...And I don’t know if I want him anymore...Being lied to
does something to you. But I don’t hold you to blame for it...you were just
enjoying his presence...like me...well maybe not exactly like me...but it’s
fine...Keep enjoying it...he’s gonna need someone from now on.”
Kira smiled as Trish smiled...they hugged and Kira kissed Trish’s cheek and
left the room.
John had been sitting on the corner of the bed in Trish’s bedroom and heard the
whole conversation. Trish walked in and sat on her feet next to him...She
touched his arm and he said, “I just lost my best friend didn’t I?”
Trish said, “More then likely yea...You’re in love with her aren’t you?” John
couldn’t say anything he just nodded and Trish said, “Does she know?” John
said, “I never got to tell her.” Trish said, “You guys have been friends for 4
years...I realize she’s hurt and upset right now because you lied to her...but
I think if you gave it a little time...You’ll be able to approach her and tell
her everything.”
John sighed heavily and said, “You realize were gonna have to go back to being
friends again right?” Trish giggled and said, “We always were friends
silly...We just had some good benefits to go with it...Besides I was gonna have
to stop seeing you anyways...I have a date with Maven.” John laughed and said,
“Good...I hope you guys work out.” Trish said, “Oh I plan on working him out
either way...He’s too hot to not work out with.”
John and Trish laughed as they hugged and John left to go back to his room and
pick up the pieces of his life...
How the hell was he going to get Kira back into his life?
Chapter 20
- -6 Months Later- -
Kira was sitting in her office like always...Her and Randy had been spending
time together, not on a boyfriend/girlfriend base, but just a ‘need a friend’
base. One night Randy had taken a bad chair shot across the top of his head and
was busted open. Kira walked down and into the medical room and the trainer had
just finished stitching him up.
Since it was the end of the show she went ahead and told the trainer to go
ahead and leave and she’d make sure Randy got bandaged up. The trainer left and
Kira said, “So how bad is it?” Randy smiled a little and said, “It was my own
fault...I forgot it was coming and I didn’t put my arm up to block the damn
thing...I got 10 stitches.”
Kira said, “Okay well, champ...go shower and come see me in my office...I got
something for it, rather then a bandage.” Randy nodded and headed off to the
dressing room and showered and then went to Kira’s office. Randy walked in with
black dress pants, dress shoes and his blue button down dress shirt that made
his eye stand out more.
Randy walked up and pushed her laptop closed and said, “So when are you going
to join the social scene again?” Kira looked up and said, “Sure, cause that’s
my thing.” Kira stood up and pulled the liquid band aide out of her purse and
Randy sat on her desk...as he looked down and she cringed when she saw the
stitches...She took a tissue and blotted around the stitches where blood was
still coming out a little.
Randy sucked in a breath and Kira said, “Sorry...I know it must be painful.”
Randy said, “No it’s fine, I just wasn’t expecting you to touch it.” Kira said,
“Sorry.” Randy said, “Stop apologizing...Are you going to answer my question?”
Kira carefully applied the liquid band aide over the stitches and held onto
Randy’s head as she was blowing on it, for it to dry faster.
Kira said, “What question?” Randy said, “Hello, remember social play time...You
used to go out with us, before WrestleMania and then you stopped...You know
every one misses you.” Kira tossed the bottle into her purse. As she walked
back over and leaned against the desk next to Randy. Kira said, “I miss every
one too...I really do...I’m just not ready to be the social butterfly I was
before.”
Randy pulled Kira over and wrapped his arms around her, while she was still
facing away from him and said, “You still haven’t heard from John have you?”
Kira said, “I ran into his at the last PPV you guys had with Smackdown, and he
asked if he could call me sometime...and I said I wouldn’t mind...but that was
3 months ago...I get the feeling he’s not really ready for that talk yet...But
then again, I could’ve called him also...But I haven’t, so obviously I’m not
ready either.”
Randy said, “I have an idea...if you’re willing to listen.” Kira said, “Sure
what other options do I have? Any idea is better then none.”
Randy grabbed Kira’s hand and spun her around to face him...She was a tiny
girl...5’9” and 125lbs. She had on jeans, tenny shoes and a black long sleeved
cotton shirt under a red t-shirt that said Punk Princess in black across the
shirt...Her long chestnut hair was down in waves.
Randy said, “You’re coming with me tonight...and I’m not taking no as an
answer.” Kira said, “I don’t know Randy...I’ve not really been in a mood to do
much lately.” Randy hopped off the desk and said, “I refuse to lose you because
John can’t get his head out of his ass...You’re coming with and that’s final.”
Kira smiled as she hugged Randy and said, “Thanks...You don’t know how much
you’re friendship means to me.” Randy said, “Oh I got a clue though.”
Kira gathered her things as Randy took her bag and his and made their way out
to the parking lot to his SUV rental and over to the club. Everyone who was
there from the company practically tackled her with hugs when she walked
through the door. Randy kept a hold on her though with his arm around her
waist...He was worried she’d bolt if it was too much at once.
A slow song was starting to come through the speakers and Randy grabbed Kira’s
hand and said, “C’mon...Come be social with me on the dance floor.” As he winked
at her and she smiled and took his hand and followed him onto the floor...
It was almost as if every one else in the club disappeared...Randy wrapped his
right arm around her waist as he pulled her flush against his body and held her
right hand in his left...and held it against his chest. Anyone watching them,
if they didn’t know they were friends...they’d think they were in love...The
slow music of the song crept across the floor and almost enveloped only them
into the sound waves.

No rush...though I need your touch
I won't rush your...heart
Until you feel...on solid ground
Until your strength is found...girl
I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river lead you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm...the one
Somebody else...was here before
He treated you unkind
And broken wings...need time to heal
Before a heart can fly...girl
I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river lead you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm...the one
Trust in me...and you'll find a heart...so true
All I want to do is...give the best of me...to you
And stand beside you
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm......the one
*****************************
Neither Randy nor Kira noticed John watching them as they danced comfortable in
each others arms...like they belonged there.
Chapter 21
Kira was so happy to finally be
home...She’d never been so happy in all her life. She had 3 days all to herself
before she had to get back for Raw house shows. Boston was so quiet. She
realized John was only 1 hour away in West Newbury...but he was actually across
the states in California for Smackdown.
Kira flopped onto her couch and leaned over and placed her cell phone on the
coffee table on vibrate...she was going to take herself a nap...and maybe if
she felt like it, she’d check her messages on her answering machine. She laid
back and let the tiredness slip her into dream land...Before she knew it she
was out for the next 4 hours.
She woke up and it was close to 8 pm. She ordered some Chinese food and waiting
for it...She showered really fast before her food got there...once it did she
paid the guy and walked into the kitchen putting it on a plate...Her home phone
started ringing, but she’d decided she was going to just leave it...she’d call
who ever was trying to sell her some weird ‘How to save your love’ book
tomorrow and tell them she had enough saving and was going to jump off a cliff.
The last couple of weeks since the dance with Randy had felt unusual between
then now. They’d started dancing at the clubs after Raw now...and last night
was no exception. She’d really come to enjoy her friendship with Randy...but
somehow she was torn. She missed John and the Smackdown crew more then
anything...but She knew she was starting to have feelings for Randy...but also knew
they’d never be up to par for what she felt for John.
Kira’s answering machine kicked on...obviously this sales person was
determined...
‘Hey it’s Kira I’m not here right now, cause I’m being abducted by the WWE
aliens...if you can’t reach me on my cell and you can’t catch me
here...Obviously they’ve already taken me to the mother ship...Leave a
message...BEEP...’
The line was quiet for a minute, before a voice...a VERY familiar voice said,
“Hey Kira...It’s...Its John...I know I’m probably the last person you expect to
hear from...Hell, I’m probably the last person you want to hear from. Where are
you anyways...You should be home already...I hope everything’s alright. Look I
know this probably sounds stupid...but I called to ask you to go on a date with
me...but I should of asked you a long time ago...Please don’t say no...Just
give me a fast painless yes...and I promise to make it worth your while. I’ve
been thinking about everything that went down at WrestleMania...I have to tell
you...I miss having you cheer in my corner...I’m sorry...I really am...I was
stupid, pigheaded and the hugest asshole [Kira nodded her head in agreement] on
the face of the planet. I was too chicken shit and too fuckin scared to tell
you what nearly every one except you knew...I’m in love with you girl...I
realize it might be too little too late...But I had to tell you...GOD I can’t
believe I just told you all that to that stupid machine...I really hate talking
to these things...Please when you get home flush this tape down the toilet and
take a crowbar or hammer to that dumb machine...Call me back please...I miss
you Kira...”
The line went dead.
Kira just stood there staring at her answering machine. She couldn’t believe
anything she heard. When she finally got her legs and body to move again she
called Lisa and asked her what was going on. Lisa said, “You heard the
message...other then that I can’t tell you...Are you gonna call him back and
accept the date?”
Kira said, “I don’t know...I can’t believe he told me he was in love with me
and I never saw it...I wonder how long.” Lisa said, “As long as you’ve been in
love with him.” Kira said, “LISA! Why didn’t someone tell me?” Lisa said, “It’s
called love for a reason...it has to happen when it wants to...you can’t FORCE
it into place...you can’t force it on anyone.”
Kira said, “What am I going to do?” Lisa said, “Can’t help you with that either
babe...I gotta run, Tyson is here...he said he’s got something big planned for
tonight. When you decide let me know...So I can cheer you on.” Kira said, “Yea,
well when I figure it out...you’ll be the second to know.” Lisa said, “Who will
be the first?”
Kira said, “Me.”
They hung up as Kira sat at the desk that had her answering machine on it and
re-played John’s message about 140 times...Trying to decide...Hell what could
she decide?
Chapter 22
- -6 Months Later- -
Kira had been out jogging this morning...It was nice to be home again...Boston
had been the only home she’d known, since she was a little girl...She bounced
up the stairs of the two story house as she passed through her bedroom into the
bathroom and let a small giggle slip when she saw his body still sleeping in
bed.
She slipped into the bathroom for a quick shower, then slipped back out drying
off and towel drying her hair just enough, and then combed all the snarls out
of it...she pulled on her red tank top and her short khaki shorts.
Kira padded across the wooden floors from the bathroom to the bedroom...She
noticed the body had turned over onto his stomach and his arms were up under
the pillow...She ogled at the expanse of his huge back...He always did have a
nice back with toned muscles. She crawled onto the bed on her hands and knees
and made her way up beside him.
Kira looked down as the little bit of sunlight that was peaking into the room
bounced off the three stoned diamond ring on her left ring finger. She smiled
sweetly as she leaned down and placed feather soft kisses across his back.
They’d only been married for 3 months...but it had been the best 3 months of
her life...She ran her hand across his back and up to his soft brown hair.
She heard him chuckle a little as he grabbed her hand and said, “That tickles.”
She said, “C’mon lazy boy, time to get up...It’s already 11.” He turned over as
she laid on his chest partly and felt his arm go around her waist and
immediately to her butt and gave it a squeeze. He rubbed his eyes with his free
hand and focused around the room a little.
Kira leaned up and kissed his lips softly...His arm went back around her waist
and pulled her to sit straddled across his pelvis. She sat up and rubbed his
chest, abs and his hands on her hips steadied her from moving much. Kira leaned
over and kissed his lips and said, “Are you awake now?” He said, “I’d be more
awake if someone who shall remain nameless...uh...you...wouldn’t have kept my
ass up all night last night.”
Kira smirked as she moved off him and laid next to him...His arm went around
her waist again as she put her head on his chest and listened to his heart
beat. He kissed the top of her head as he squeezed her ass again.
They laid there content for about 10 minutes, she looked up and noticed his
eyes were closed again...and she smirked as she looked down and saw the white
waist band of his Word Life boxers...She reached down and pulled the elastic
band up and snapped his waist...He growled a little as she giggled into his
chest.
He said, “You just refuse to let me sleep...don’t you?” Kira looked up and
said, “John...Do you think it was worth it?” John’s blue eyes opened as he
looked down at her and said, “Do I think what was worth it?” Kira said,
“Everything...The friendship, the fight, WrestleMania, the dance I shared with
Randy that made you wake up...The date? Everything?”
John thought about it for half a second and said, “Are you insane woman? Of
course it was fuckin worth it...I had to get my head out of my ass somehow...I
mean don’t get me wrong, being friends with you was a bonus, but the fact that
you loved me as much as I loved you...That was the ultimate perfect...well kind
of like wrestling...You were my ultimate championship...I don’t need a belt
around my waist if I have you my arms and in my heart.”
John rolled them over as he pulled her body against his and her leg wrapped
around his thigh...John looked into her violet eyes and caressed her cheek and
said, “Now that you’re my wife...It’s even better...I mean you almost slipped
away from me, that was the lowest point in my life...but I got you back...I got
you forever...You’re worth more to me than anything I could ever get. Just
having you in my arms, sharing my life, sharing my bed, planning a future
together...Oh Yea...It’s damn sure worth it.”
Kira smiled as she said, “I love you John Cena...Forever...I promise.”
John smiled as he kissed his wife’s lips softly and said, “I love you too Kira
Cena...With all my heart.”
