Title: Sooner or Later
Author: Adrian Jade
Summary: John Cena goes to a bar and meets this girl. He doesn't tell her what he does and she doesn't ask. Never did he imagine he would see her again. But he does and the charade begins sooner or later he'll have to tell her the truth. Sooner or later she'll have to do the same thing.
Disclaimer: I own Eve only. The rest of the people own themselves and their likenesses belong to both the WWE and ECW accordingly.
John Cena groaned as he got out of his car, he was sore after his match with RVD. He walked into one of the local bars and had a seat and the bar.
"What can I get ya?"
The voice had come from the back room. It was distinctly southern but it was pleasant to listen to.
"I'll take a beer"
"What kind?"
"Doesn't matter" John replied.
The bartender walked out holding a Corona. John looked her over, she was about 5'8 with dark brown hair that was up in a ponytail. She was wearing a black t-shirt with white lettering that read YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THIS.
After drinking his first beer he ordered another by the time he had finished his second beer he had forgot all about his aching muscles. He looked around the bar and noticed for the first time that he was the only customer.
"Kinda dead tonight huh?" he asked.
"What can I say I tend to scare people" the bartender said good-naturedly.
John was enjoying talking to her. He wasn't sure why but she was really easy to talk to and she was pretty which was always a plus. But there was something about her eyes that seemed to attract him. They were a pale blue but they also had a hint of grey.
"You have amazing eyes" he found himself saying.
The bartender blushed a little "Thank you"
"Hey you wanna play a game of pool?" John suggested.
"Might as well cuz I can't leave here till 1 anyways"
"Let's make it interesting… if I get a ball in a pocket then you have to take a shot and tell me one fact about yourself" John said
"Ok and if I get a ball in you have to take a shot and remove a piece of clothing" she smirked at him.
John racked up the balls and took the first shot he got two striped balls into the corner pocket"
"Looks like you owe me two facts" he smiled at her.
"Ok well my full name is Genevieve Marie Fuller but people usually call me Eve and I'm originally from Patterson, Georgia, I lived there till I was 10 with my mama then we moved here" she said before downing two shots of tequila.
"Looks like you've had a few shots before" John said.
"I was raised by my mom for most of my life and didn't meet my dad till I was 19, he was and still is a really big drinker so I do shots with him sometimes"
"Oh" John said.
John shot once again but missed. It was Eve's turn she grabbed a pool stick and chalked it up. She eyed the table for a few minutes before shooting. She got a ball in.
"Ok my friend off with a piece of clothing"
"My name is John I'm not sure if I told you that" John said. He didn't give his last name in fear that she might be a wrestling fan. He was having fun talking to her and liked that she wasn't treating him funny.
John took a shot and removed his shirt.
A half hour later John was really starting to feel the effects of the alcohol he had consumed. He was now down to his white wife beater undershirt and his boxers.
"By the way John I am an awesome pool player" Eve smirked.
"Yeah well I let you win" John said rather drunkenly.
"Ok big boy it's after 1:30 what do you say I close up and then give you a lift to where you are staying" Eve suggested.
"If you say so" John had a seat at a table and immediately put his head down and fell asleep.
Eve laughed silently to herself as she looked at him. Then she began to close up the bar.
"Shit how am I going to get him dressed?" she said to herself.
She somehow managed to get the man dressed and out to her car without much trouble. She drove out of the parking lot and nudged the sleeping man in the passenger seat.
"What do you want?" he asked half asleep.
"Where are you staying?" she asked.
"The Marriot" he yawned falling back asleep.
She pulled up in front of the Marriot and luckily for me she spotted one of my really good friends Tom Laughlin also known as Tommy Dreamer.
"Hey Tommy can you give me a hand" Eve yelled over to him.
"Playing designated driver again Evie?" he asked.
"Yeah I guess" she replied "he said he was staying here"
"By the way what are you doing here?" she asked.
"ECW has a show here tonight" Tommy replied "I thought your dad would have told you"
"Must have slipped his mind… oh well I'm sure he'll stop by and have a few drinks tomorrow"
"Probably" Tommy rolled his eyes.
"Well if you see the old man tell him is oldest daughter says hi" Eve said.
Tommy helped her grab the now practically comatose John out of the car.
"I'll take him from here" Tommy said "go home and get some sleep"
"Thanks Tommy and it was nice seeing you again"
"You too Evie you should keep in touch more"
"Will do"
Eve got into her car and drove away. It was weird that her father hadn't stopped by at all to see her or even called her and told her he was in town. But then again her dad did what he wanted when he wanted to do it.
"Well he'll come by when he wants too" she told herself while entering her house.
Upon entering the house she noticed that her answering machine was blinking so she hit the little button to play her messages.
Genevieve honey it's your mother. I'm just calling to check up on you and make sure everything is alright. Call me when you get this message.
Eve rolled her eyes while listening to the message sometimes she wondered if her mother knew she was 28 years old because sometimes she acted like Eve was 12. But then again it had always been just the two of them for a long time so she had to cut her mother some slack. The next message she knew right away.
Eve it's your dad… I'm in town and I got you tickets for tomorrow nights ECW event, call me if you want to go. Bye.
"Dear old dad" Eve thought as she got into bed "always one to care"
