A/N: This is my first WWE fic! The pairing is Cena/Maria. Read and review.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. The plot for the first two chapters is based on the events of RAW on February 6, 2006. After that, the events become mine, though the characters remain property of the WWE.
Chapter One: Love's First Kiss
John Cena was lacing up his black boots when his tag team partner for tonight, Maria Kanellis, hesitantly entered his locker room. Her worried expression prompted him to say, "Hey, what's up? We've got a big match tonight."
Maria shyly approached John's crouched position, biting her lip nervously. She still didn't answer, and continued to bite her lip in uncertainty. John, concerned for Maria's well-being, asked, "What's wrong?" She still didn't answer. "Come on, what's wrong?" Maria took a deep breath and began a fast-paced stream of consciousness.
"John, I really didn't want to come in here—"
"That's okay."
"B-but, I just can't do it! I can't do this match tonight. I-I-I, mean, Lita, and she smacked me—"
"Listen, I saw—"
"—She pulled my hair—"
"Don't worry about it—"
"She almost pulled all my hair out. And I almost got speared!"
"Relax, it's cool—"
"And, and, we're going to lose—"
"Calm down—"
"—I don't want to make you lose! I don't want to make us lose. And if we lose, then, then—"
"Relax, I got it—"
"Then, then Edge can pick his own referee, and he'll pick Lita, and, and we just can't do it, and—"
Cena cut off her incessant rambling with a long, passionate kiss. He was surprised to find that her lips molded perfectly to his. Cena tilted his head to the right for better access. He mentally noted her soft lips and velvet tongue. He broke away regretfully, only to lean back in to leave a soft, chaste kiss on Maria's lips. He disentangled his fingers from her hair and turned to reach for his title belt, ready to leave the locker room. Maria stood in her place, eyes closed, entranced.
She slowly murmured, "I feel…much better now."
"Good," Cena enthusiastically replied. He smacked her on the ass, reassuring her, "See you out there."
Maria could not believe her predicament. A smile slowly spread across her face as she raked her eyes over the WWE Champion's retreating figure. She was in deeper than she thought.
