A/N: Hey guys. Remember how I said Saved By A Broski was the prequel to a future fic entitled Secret Crush? Well today's the day Secret Crush makes it's debut to the fanfiction world! There will be several couples including Zack and AJ. The others? You'll find them out as we go! Enjoy everyone! The fic itself is inspired by an old Youtube video entitled Eve Torres – Secret Crush, where Eve and the other Diva Search winners reveal who their secret superstar crushes are. The fic also takes place shortly before the 2012 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, specifically starting on the February 13th edition of Raw.
Cena was chilling in his locker room before Raw on his computer when he noticed a peculiar Youtube video entitled Eve Torres – Secret Crush. Curious, he clicked on it.
Cena could tell that the video was a little old and dated as it was posted back in 2007 but he still watched it it with interest, "Well whattya think about that?" he said to himself with a smile.
"Hey guys, this is Eve, and I'm tagging in to reveal my Superstar Crush. I have a secret to tell you. I have a secret crush. I have a crush on John Cena. His sexy eyes and strong jawline are everything I could dream about in a man..." Eve said on the video.
John still held his smile through the video, his interest growing in both the video and Eve in the process.
Toward the end of the video, former Extreme Expose member Brooke came on. "If I could have a date with any WWE Superstar, it would definitely have to be John Cena. Because he is so damn sexy, he's infamous, so bring it on John." Brooke giggled.
"I knew I was popular but this is ridiculous," Cena laughed at himself. He knew both Eve and Brooke were sexy but he didn't know that both of them fancied him.
Eve meanwhile was relaxing in her locker room, blissfully unaware of what John had discovered.
Once the video ended John let out a happy sigh, "Two divas and only one me. What the heck can I do about this one?" He wondered aloud.
Eve at the time was lacing up her boots for Raw, knowing she had a busy night.
John decided to get ready for the show himself. He started changing out of his street clothes and into his wrestling attire. Shoes, jean shorts, WWE shirt and all.
"I hope Zack's gonna be okay with the segment tonight." Eve murmured, knowing the Long Island Iced-Z fancied her.
Cena tried to put the romantic thoughts aside once he heard he had an interview with Josh Matthews tonight but it was easier said than done given the video he just watched as he left his locker room and headed over to Eve's, wanting to chat with her about what the 10-time WWE Champion had just discovered.
Eve meanwhile had just finished getting ready, totally unaware of the surprises in store.
John was knocking on Eve's locker room door, hoping to get her attention.
"Come on in." Eve said cheerfully, under the impression it was one of the girls at her door.
John Cena came into her room, not knowing that Eve was expecting a diva.
Eve blushed seeing it was John. "Hi J-John. I wasn't expecting you." She blushed deeper, stammering shyly.
"I guess you were expecting a diva?" Cena asked with a little smile.
"Yeah so...what's up?" She asked innocently.
"Well I watched an old video of you online," Cena said innocently, trying to approach this like a gentleman.
"A video? What kind of video?" She asked cutely. John always seemed to make her smile because he was almost never in a bad mood. He was the most upbeat, happy-go-lucky guy she'd ever met.
"A secret crush video," Cena said, scratching his head in bashfulness.
Eve blushed darkly. 'He knows it.' She thought. "Of me? What did I say?" She asked innocently.
"Well without going into detail you said I have everything you could dream about in a man," Cena said shyly.
"I...I did?" She asked softly.
"Yeah. I know it was a couple of years ago or something but I just gotta know something," Cena said, a shy smile on his face.
"Yeah? What is it John?"
"Do you still have those feelings for me?" John asked softly, and shyly. Truth be told he had a little thing for Eve himself but very few knew about it.
"Yes...I do John." She blushed.
"Even though we both know Zack has a thing for you?" He asked gently.
"Yes John. I'll find a way to tell Zack. I hope he understands." Eve replied sweetly.
"Okay. Then maybe we can go out tonight, like after the show if there's time?" John offered.
"Sure..I'd like that." She giggled shyly.
"Good," Cena smiled at her before answering with, "So I'll see you after the show then?" He queried.
"Sure." She smiled.
"Good," John smiled back at her, "I'll see you then Eve," He said before leaving her locker room.
Eve giggled softly at the leader of the Cenation as he departed.
Cena was right in the middle of an interview with Josh Matthews, talking about tonight's show, Zack Ryder, and Kane.
Suddenly screams were heard, and John knew it had to be Eve, thanks to Kane as he ran toward the sound of her screams.
Eve was forced to be a pawn in Kane's plan to make Cena "embrace the hate". She was scared out of her mind and obeyed him by heading into the ambulance.
Cena quickly came after Kane trying to get at the big man from behind.
Kane wasn't expecting Cena to attack. He was forced to fight defensively and he was clearly losing as sounds of combat filled the hall.
John sent Kane into a nearby wall of equipment before rushing back to the ambulance. "Eve, Eve open the door! Unlock the door!" Cena called out.
Eve wasted no time unlocking the ambulance door and jumping into Cena's arms.
Kane was unaware Eve had escaped and drove off with the ambulance. Eve trembled in John's arms.
"Are you alright," John said showing obvious concern for her.
Eve's only response was to kiss him passionately.
John was surprised but kissed her back.
They passionately kissed for about a minute before Eve noticed Zack was there, and she immediately started to panic.
Eve looked at Zack with sheer surprise and panic. She didn't know what to say, especially since she knew Zack had some feelings for her at one point.
"Eve, Eve its okay. I'm not mad." Zack said understandingly.
"Y-You're not?" she asked in curiosity.
"Nah. I found a broskette in need of me, come on over AJ." Zack said cheerfully.
AJ walked over to Zack's side, wearing a blue and white variant of her wrestling attire. She gently put a hand on Zack's shoulder and smiled, "I'm AJ" she greeted.
"Weren't you dating Daniel?" Eve asked softly.
"Yes I was. Until I realized just how much of a loudmouth coward he was," AJ said, showing no love for her ex.
"He was?" Cena asked, having no clue of AJ's plight.
"Yeah." AJ nodded, "Luckily I ran into Zack during a Smackdown house show a couple of days earlier and I found out that I could talk to him instead of Daniel."
"Aw stop babe.." Zack blushed.
"But its true," AJ cooed. She smiled clearly for all to see. Not once did she ever smile like that when she was with Daniel Bryan.
Zack hugged her close. "It's okay, I'll protect you from him baby."
"Thanks Zackie," AJ said sweetly, hugging Zack back. Eve smiled at the young couple, touched by their devotion and love for each other.
"Well we'll see you guys later." Cena smiled, fist-bumping with Zack as he and Eve left together.
Meanwhile the current World Heavyweight champion, Daniel Bryan came into the hallway and immediately looked at Zack and AJ, walking right to them, "Hey!" The heel vegan champion yelled.
Zack glared at the cocky young world champion. "What do you want? You used to be one of my best broskis, but after you treated AJ like garbage bro, well that's it for you and me." He growled.
Daniel stood his ground and ignored Zack, "This isn't about you and me Zack. You have much bigger things to worry about, really," he said implying Zack's current issues with Kane and his current championship commitments as he continued, "You know with that being said AJ doesn't need to be with someone who has a target on his back, what do you think baby?" The submission specialist looked right at AJ.
AJ paused for a moment, just to build her confidence up, "I don't care about that," she said meekly.
Zack wrapped his arm lovingly around AJ before he glared at Daniel. "She's not your baby! You threw away the right to pet names the second you started mentally abusing her, you bastard!"
"Well at least I kept her safe! No matter what happened I always made sure that nobody got away with harming her and I doubt that you of all people can do the same," Daniel patted his world championship, "This big gold belt means that I have what it takes to defeat any man in this company on any given night."
AJ finally perked up, remembering something, "That reminds me, you have a title defense tonight on Raw against Randy Orton. Enjoy holding that championship while you can, baby," She smirked.
"And unlike you Daniel, I don't put my woman in danger to retain my championship. Woo woo woo..."
"You know it!" AJ exclaimed, sticking her tongue out at Daniel.
Zack just to play head games with the world champ, kissed AJ lovingly on the lips, while his United States Championship glinted proudly on his shoulder.
Daniel scowled at Zack. He even balled his hands into a fist but he walked away in frustration, formulating a plan already for revenge on Zack.
Zack grinned at AJ. "How was that baby?" He asked sweetly.
"Oh yeah you're definitely a better kisser than Danny," AJ grinned back.
Zack blushed. "Well...I try." He said, trying to be modest.
AJ giggled, "And you're more modest than him too," she gushed, loving how humble and sweet Zack was in comparison to Daniel.
"Really?" He asked cutely.
"Mm-hm." AJ giggled.
"Ah well I do what I can." He smiled.
"Now how about we head into the locker room and enjoy the rest of the show huh?" AJ suggested.
"Good idea baby." Zack agreed.
AJ walked hand in hand with Zack back to his locker room, beaming all the while at her boyfriend.
