All Bets Are Off – Chapter 1
A taxi pulled up and out of the taxi came a beautiful blonde with a blatant look of rage in her eyes. She made her way over to two women: first a tall slender brunette and second a small petite Indian woman.
"What's wrong?" asked Gem the brunette noticing the anger expressed on her friends face.
Cj the blonde walked passed her friends and into the café where they met almost every morning for breakfast. Gem sighed at Zak the small Indian girl who shook her head before following a furious Cj inside. The trio sat down at the table and Cj picked the menu up to shield her face but she couldn't decide whether she was shielding her friends from her bad mood or shielding herself from their sympathetic glances.
"I'll have a strong black coffee and some scrambled eggs please" said Cj to the waiter. Cj put down the menu and looked at the table whilst her friends ordered breakfast. Once the waiter left she knew she'd have to look up at her friends and tell all and then came the inevitable…
"Well?"
Cj looked up at her friends and she could feel herself welling up she fought the tears back and shook her head prolonging her reply. Cj gazed into the distance while inside her head telling herself not to cry. She then turned back to her friends.
"He did it; the only guy I ever contemplated a future with broke my heart"
These words coming from the pessimistic and usually emotionless Cj shook something inside both Gem and Zak as they listened to Cj's anguish.
"I told you men couldn't be trusted. Give them an inch and they'll take your heart and stomp on it"
"What happened?" asked Gem
"He cancelled on me for dinner which I didn't mind we don't have to live in each others pockets we were never that couple. So I called Mickey up and we went out I didn't want to be sat in the apartment counting the minutes down. So Mickey took me over to a club launch he'd been invited to and we were inside looking for Mickey's friends and there he was dancing with another woman. I don't know what happened to me I just saw red and stormed down there and he stood there and admitted to me that he was on a date with this girl"
"Oh Cj" sympathised Zak
"He was so nonchalant about it like it was an everyday thing and everyone's doing it and giving me this look like I was the crazy one for not knowing already"
"He just straight out told you he was on a date?"
"Yeah"
"What did you do then?" asked Zak
"I stormed off, left the club, went home and sat waiting for an obligatory apologetic phone call from him"
"And by the look in your eyes you never got it" Gem confidently stated and which Cj didn't refute. A strong silence lingered between the trio as their breakfasts arrived.
"He didn't deserve you anyway. You're too good for him" Zak said trying to boost her friend's confidence.
"Thanks. I just…" Cj stopped and shook her head wondering if she was the foolish one for ever letting him into her heart "…Was I stupid to expect anything from him?"
"No sweetie and I really want to say it gets easier but it doesn't but you will get stronger believe me. Your guys out there but unfortunately you've got to go through the bad ones to find him"
"Why?" Cj asked "Why should we have to go from jackass to jackass to find one of the very few good guys out there? And why is it always the woman who gets scorned why never the guy? It's always the guys who treat the women like shit never the other way around. How many guys do you think sit around with their friends talking about a chick that screwed him over and broke his heart? It's just not fair"
"I know it isn't but we can't do anything about it…"
"Who says?"
"Cj?"
"Oh come on Gem don't tell me you've never wanted to teach a guy a lesson or wished that a guy that screwed you over died lonely and miserable"
"In the heat of the moment maybe yes…"
"Yeah well I'm guna take a stand for womankind and actually do something about it"
"And what are you guna do exactly?"
"I'm going to treat guys the same way they treat us. Playing mind games with us and letting us down"
"So you're guna teach them a lesson by giving them exactly what they want commitment free sex? Think about it Cj you treat them how they treat you and you'll be rewarding them"
Cj sat and thought about what Gem said and realised she was right.
"Ok so instead of treating them the way they treat us I'll just torture them"
"Torture them like red hot pokers torture?" asked Zak
"No that would be foreplay to them I mean torturing them by doing everything they hate. I'm going to be needy, possessive and aggressive. I am going to make some unsuspecting guy pray for his own life and sanity"
"Cj come on we know you're upset but a penis embargo isn't going to make them a better species they're just guna find another victim"
"Why should they be able to use women how they want but we're not allowed to reciprocate and give them a taste of their own bitter medicine?"
Gem looked at Zak and shook her head and then she looked back at Cj.
"Your mind's made up isn't it?"
"Yeah it is"
"Ok, but we're not letting you do this until you tell us what your plan is"
Cj smiled at her friends and prepared to reveal her master plan with a sly grin on her face.
AT MADISON SQUARE GARDENAs the locker room full of wrestlers scurried to get out of the arena to start their night out in the big apple an exhausted John Cena fresh off his match made his way into the locker room just barely getting in the door before half the locker room turned out. Cena walked over to his bag and began to get undressed he wrapped a towel around his waist ready to go into the shower.
"How about you John?" came a voice from behind. Cena turned and saw Jericho stood in front of him waiting for an answer.
"Sorry what?"
"Who are you thinking about?" joked Jericho "I asked are you coming out with us?"
"Yeah sure just give me time to get showered"
"Okay well don't be a woman about it hurry up"
LATER…Cj, Gem and Zak were walking down the street arm in arm with each other making their way over to a bar.
"I can't believe you're seriously going to do this" said Gem
"Hey if it doesn't work at least I'll have fun watching the guy pull his hair out"
"Just be gentle with the poor guy. Remember you're angry with Danny not this poor unsuspecting guy"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah what you fail to understand Zak is that they're all made from the same mould"
"Not all of them some guys are genuinely really nice guys who we as women falsely label as stereotypical males"
"Listen I never believed in the 'genuinely really nice guys' to begin with and the way Danny treated me he just proved my point and made me even more confident that those 'genuinely really nice guys' are nothing but a myth. And I'm surprised by you Zak how can you be such an eternal optimist about love after Justin treated you so badly"
"Oh it wasn't that bad" Zak said defending the man who hurt her so much
"The man left you a Dear John letter Zak. He got what he wanted from you and left like every other man I've ever met; they don't even contemplate love and commitment it's about nothing more than sex to them"
The continued their debate as they made their way to the bar.
INSIDE THE BAR
A group of WWE superstars stood near the bar waiting to be served surrounded by crazy female fans. Randy Orton walked over to his work colleagues with a girl on both arms. He helped them onto the barstools and kissed their hands sending the girls into a frenzy.
"Unbelievable!" stated Cena sucking on his beer.
Randy turned to Cena "You ain't kidding aren't they gorgeous?"
"Not them you, you're unbelievable you're such a player"
"Greens not a good colour on you John"
"You think I'm jealous?"
"It's pretty obvious you're jealous. You wish you had my luck with women"
"Yeah and that's all it is…luck! If you weren't in WWE and tried to pull your moves and lines on a girl you'd get smacked in the mouth. You gotta be real with a woman…no front, just you because it's all guna come out in the end"
"Not if you never see them again" Randy whispered into Cena's ear so his company didn't hear him
"One day Randy you're guna get hit really hard and they'll be a girl who you can't just walk away from then what are you guna do?"
"It's never guna happen I'm having too much fun playing the field. Maybe you need to do that too you're getting a little uptight" Cena smiled "Or does Mr Sensitive have a problem with just good sex? Or are you scared of making an idiot of yourself because you just can't hook a girl"
Cena laughed and Randy helped one of his girls down off her stool and introduced her to John.
"John this is Candy"
Cena gave Randy a look and turned back to Candy and smiled "Hi" Candy then draped herself on Cena who gently pushed her away.
"I don't need your sympathy girl I can get my own" he said walking away pulling Randy with him. "And don't get me wrong Candy looks like fun but I like my girls IQ to be higher than her age"
"Oh so my girls aren't good enough?"
"Randy man…"
"Nah nah you think you can do better John you go prove it. In fact let's make this interesting you go score yourself a girl with a nice…IQ…and lets see how long you can stay interested in the girl before you want a girl with a nice ass"
"Randy..."
"No John make a believer out of me. You find a nice little bookworm Annie and show me you can go the distance"
Cena sick of listening to Randy's shallow assumptions decided to prove him wrong.
"Ok you got it. I'll find myself a girl and prove to you that intelligence is just as important as a nice body"
"Oh no no you're not picking the girl because that would be too easy…I'll pick the girl. Before I do though lets get the stakes of this sorted, if you win…" Randy began waiting for Cena's reply. Suddenly a sly smile crept onto Cena's face.
"You take a vow of celibacy for one whole month" Randy's playful smile soon turned into a concerned frown. "Scared?" asked Cena
"No, alright you win I take the vow of celibacy shit…but when I win you go off script while cutting a promo and tell the world that Randy Orton is the best wrestler in the world and that you're jealous of him because he is one sexy looking man"
Cena laughed "I gotta go into an 'I love Randy' zone?"
"Yep you've gotta worship me. Do you think you can handle that?"
"Ok I'll agree to this but only because watching you suffer for a month is guna be sooooooo worth it. What's the time limit I gotta meet?"
"A month for a month?"
"One month I can do that no problem"
Cena and Randy shook on it in a mutual agreement.
"I'm guna go find your girl now" said Randy walking off
"What about them?" said Cena pointing to Randy's groupies
"They'll be here when I get back" he replied arrogantly
Randy walked off into the crowd in search for Cena's intellectual target.
ACROSS THE BAR
"So have you found your victim yet?" asked Gem
"You know you're really not helping this along"
"I don't see why some poor guy should pay because of Danny what happened to good old revenge?"
"This is revenge!"
"How can you call this revenge Danny doesn't know anything about it and he's not being hurt in the process"
"No but that's because I don't ever want to see him again this will give me some kind of satisfaction and help me move on"
"You don't have to see Danny to get revenge slash his tyres or something"
"That's amateur status I'm working my way towards the pros. Now ladies if you'll excuse me I'm going to mingle" with that Cj walked away from her friends and set out to find as Gem put it her victim.
BACK AT THE BAR
Cena was stood watching with interest as Randy moved from girl to girl wondering which girl Randy would finally choose.
"What are looking at?" asked Jericho as he walked up to Cena handing him a fresh beer.
"Randy!" answered Cena
Jericho pulled a strange look as he saw Randy across the room.
"Hey whatever floats your boat"
Cena smiled and shook his head "Not like that! I think I've dug myself a hole man"
"Oh yeah?" enquired Jericho
"Yeah I've made a bet with Randy that I can commit to an intelligent chick"
"So? It's not impossible"
"No I know that but Randy's picking the girl and I have visions of him bringing a sixty year old school librarian up here"
"Could be worse"
"How?"
"Could be a male librarian"
Cena gave Jericho a queer look "Not helping and I wouldn't put it past him"
"Why did you make the bet in the first place?"
"Randy was acting like a macho God talking about his luck with women and that I'm jealous of him. One thing led to another and now I'm waiting for Randy to put me out of my misery"
"Well I've gotta see this" said Jericho pulling up a stool and watching on with Cena.
AMONGST THE CROWD"Hi" said Randy tapping on the shoulder of a woman wearing a pink wrap over dress with long golden blonde hair.
Cj turned around and smiled at Randy with delight. At the same time Randy was stunned by Cj's beauty and decided that during his search for Cena's target he could find himself a date.
"You know you really look stunning in that dress it's hard to believe that you could look better without it so how about we go back to my hotel room and you can prove me wrong"
With that Cj decided his good lucks, perfect smile and piercing blue eyes were nothing more than a good cover to a slimy, arrogant, pussy seeking jackass. Cj smiled and shrugged.
"Lo siento, no hablo inglés"
"Oh you don't speak English? Well how about I show you instead" he said while brushing her hair away from her face and stroking her soft cheek, he slowly leaned in ready to kiss Cj when she quickly lifted her hand up and placed it on his puckered lips stopping him and causing him to open his eyes and look at her.
"Get a clue Romeo" she said pushing him away and proceeding through the crowd.
Randy watched her leave and smiled to himself. Randy made his way back over to Cena who was curious about Randy's decision. Randy approached Cena and put his arm around his shoulder and pointed into the crowd.
"That gorgeous little blonde number over there in the pink dress stood with the brunette in green and the Indian girl in paisley"
Cena looked over and was shocked to see how beautiful she was a complete 360 to the sixty year old school librarian he'd been expecting.
"She's just your type"
"How do you know my type?"
"She's intelligent and pretty she's every mans type"
"She's gorgeous what's the catch?" asked Jericho
"No catch if I didn't have prior engagements tonight I'd be taking her back to the hotel" he lied trying to keep his credibility "What did you think I was guna bring you a hound?"
"Yeah"
"I'm not that mean"
Cena continued to look at the beautiful blonde across the room.
ACROSS THE BAR
"They're all gorgeous" said Gem looking over Cj's shoulder at Randy, Cena and Jericho "Especially the blonde guy"
Cj looked over her shoulder to see the guy Gem was referring to and spotted Randy and Cena staring at her. She shuddered and turned back to Gem and Zak.
"He's such a creep"
"He's gorgeous though" said Zak stating the obvious
"Isn't that the kind of guy you're looking for a complete creep to teach him a lesson?"
"I am but while I'm torturing him I have to put up with him and that guy oh…I would have ripped his nuts off and choked him with them in the first twenty four hours"
"What about his friend?"
"What about him?"
"Killing two birds with one stone, you'd be torturing his friend and getting your revenge while torturing the creep who will drive himself wild wondering what his friend has that he doesn't. If he's as arrogant as you say he is it will drive him insane"
Cj smiled as Gems devilish nature shone through.
"I like it. His friend?" she said turning to see that Randy had gone but Cena was still staring at her.
LATER…
Cj and Cena were in the midst of a flirtatious staring game with each other but finally Cena was ready to approach so as Cj was stood perusing the rest of the room Cena made his way over and from behind tapped Cj on the shoulder causing her to turn and smile in delight as Cena stood in front of her.
"John" he said extending his hand
"Cj" she said shaking his hand
"I'm sorry about Randy"
"Randy? Oh is that Romeos real name?"
"Yeah I know he tried it on with you and you rejected him and that's the best decision you've ever made"
"Yeah I agree I mean if I'd of accepted his invitation to take my clothes off…" Cena laughed, "…you wouldn't have come down here to apologise"
Cena smiled as he gazed into Cj's eyes "Do you wanna leave Randy and the whole awful experience behind and get out of here?"
"Sure just give me a minute"
"I'll wait for you at the door" he said as Cj walked away to find her friends
"Got one!" she said as she approached them
"The friend?" asked an excited Gem
"Yeah you're a little excited to say you're against this"
"I'm warming to the idea especially since the two guys I've attracted in here tonight have had long and meaningful conversations with my cleavage"
"Girl power hah?" smiled Cj before kissing her friends and leaving with John.
