When I Look At You.
Summary- John and Faith continue their reunion.
This picks up at the end of All I Need.
Faith's POV…
Wow, his kisses are still mind-blowing. I was glad I'd told him before Vince announced it. Though I hadn't planned on us getting as intimately acquainted as we did. But then again spontaneity was always one of the things I loved about John. He was a risk-taker in the ring, and always up to try new things in the bedroom.
"Come back to the party with me?" he asked, after a pause to clear his head. I gave him a look.
"Just so I can say goodbye to some of the guys." he said, puppy dog look in place. He knew I was a sucker for the sad face.
"Fine." I huffed, crossing my arms.
"Can we be quick, there are people here I don't want to see." I returned, uncrossing my arms.
"Thank you." he whispered, kissing my forehead. I am slightly claustrophobic and he knows this. Parties with lots of people in a small space don't rank on my list of fave places.
"I should tell Boss Man he can make his formal announcement now. I asked him to hold off so I could tell you first." I said more to myself, but John was close enough to hear me. He chuckled as he's always known exactly what he means to me. Nervously I smoothed down the skirt and halter ensemble I wore, hoping it wouldn't be obvious what had gone down. Smoothing my hair one last time, I let out a sigh and John held out his arm. Indicating I couldn't stall anymore.
"Let's do this." I said, digging into my fearless bitch persona for the courage to get through this. While praying I wouldn't see Melina. Or Drew for that matter. John opened the door, and I let him guide me into the room. He went to the group of guys near the bar, and I recognized all of them, though I only knew Drew. Damn, damn and damn. Well I could deal with him, without bloodshed. As long as he kept his mouth shut.
"Guys, this is Faith. She'll be joining the Diva's on Raw next week." John introduced, and I saw Drew eyes widen. I hadn't talked to him since we broke up. So I knew this would indeed be a shock to him. I looked away from him and to Adam 'Edge' Copeland, who was grinning. I had a feeling he'd be trouble. The fun kind though.
"So you're the Faith he won't shut up about." he meant it to be funny. So I took it that way.
"Depends on what he's told you." I shot back. R-Truth, whose real name I didn't know yet, high-fived John. Everyone laughed.
"Go ahead, laugh it up." I muttered sarcastically.
"Feisty." Jay 'Christian' Reso said. I smiled at the blonde Canadian, then sauntered over to stand in front of him. He obligingly looked down at me.
"You have no idea." I teased, raising an eyebrow and smiling coyly at him. He grinned back, and the rest of the group laughed as I made my back to John's side.
"Well as fun as this was, I was coming over to say goodbye." John spoke after wrapping his arm around my waist. The guys did their whole half hug ritual, while I avoided looking at Drew. Vince found us as we turned to head back out.
"There you are Miss. Calaway, John." he greeted.
"Boss." we said at the same time. He smiled at that, giving us both a quick once over, eyes lingering for a second on the arm John had around me.
"You've told him?" he asked, referring to John. I nodded and he continued.
"What about your Uncle?"
"He's been informed." I replied. Vince knew I'd of told my Uncle before anyone, including John.
"Good I'll make the announcement right away. Are you staying?" he asked. I eyed the group of Diva's off the other side of the room. Melina sat like a queen surrounded by her subjects. I glanced at John out of the corner of my eye. His expression slightly worried. I shook my head, knowing if I stayed things could get ugly. Melina, John and I had at one time been good friends. It was Melina's treatment of John near the end of their relationship that was the final straw for me. She and I had it out, and that was the end of our friendship. A week later, a distraught John showed up at my house, he'd caught her cheating on him. I'd vowed then to beat her senseless the first chance I had.
"Hey Faith? Babe?" John's voice snapped me out of memory lane.
"What'd I miss?" I asked looking at him. His hair was still messy, but not enough that you could tell what he'd been up to. He'd put his shirt back on but left it completely open. Only the skin tight jeans he wore bore no hint of our hallway tryst.
"Nothing, are you ready to go?" he asked with a grin. I knew he knew I was looking him over. It was a common practice to make sure we didn't unintentionally leave clues as to our activities.
"Yeah." and with that we walked out.
A.N. So here we go, the fun has begun. I only own Faith. Enjoy..
