New Story-Behind Closed Doors
It's a typical Friday night in the city of Boston. Everybody forgetting about the week and looking forward to the weekend. Children of all ages excited glad there is no high school, no college even no kindergarten. Parents doing there last bit of shopping ready for those two days ahead. Two small days that go very quickly but are anticipated and waited on.
As heavy rain began to fall the streets became more and more frantic. People dived for cover. Into the underground, into phone boxes wherever they could go to avoid the torrential rain. Umbrellas went up making the five o clock rush just that more difficult.
Traffic is increasing. Pedestrians increasing. The sound of hundreds of people shouting "Taxi" trying to get home and relax after a long week. Horns are beeping. Tired motorists are shouting displaying road rage where their patience had been tested and tested all week and now it had to blow.
…...
"I can't believe I agreed to do this." Moaned WWE Champion John Cena. The leader of the Cenation.
"I'm sorry John. If I would have asked Ted or Randy they would have just laughed at me." whined the sun of the American dream Dusty Rhodes.
John sarcastically laughed "Ha ha. There im laughing at you too Cody can I please go home?"
Cody looked at John not impressed and replied "Nice try John. I really need your help. I want to get something special for Layla."
John put his hand on his head pretending to think. "Flowers, chocolates, poisonous snake."
"Hey that's my girlfriend." Snapped Cody.
"The snakes for you Cody." replied John as he looked down at Cody in intimidating fashion."
"Sorry John." Replied Cody backing away. As he was backing away a light bulb came on in his head.
Cody walked back and said "You want to poison me."
John smiled and rubbed his knuckles on Cody's hair. "Of course I don't want you dead. I just had big plans for the first weekend off I have had in ages."
Cody quickly replied "Oh yeah what's that then?"
John shuffled a little bit and replied "I was going to sit in my boxers and watch the Dwayne Johnson movie box set."
Cody laughed "Again John nice try. Please help me. That why I came to Boston because I knew you could help me."
John continued to moan. "And if I don't?"
"Then Layla might leave me and I would want to be around my friends as much as possible and …."
John quickly butted in "Ok Cody where do you want to go?"
Cody pointed to a large department store across the road. John and Cody were stood with a huge group of people. At any other time someone would have noticed there was two WWE stars just stood waiting to cross the road but this was Friday. There was only one thing on everybody's mind.
…..
The two of them approached the department store. Cody ran into the store to get out of the rain. As John he looked at Cody strangely as he started to shake the rain water of him.
As John walked over Cody shook himself one last time covering John with even more water.
John wiped the water away from his eyes and said "Cody you looked like a stray dog when you were doing that."
Cody replied "I'm sorry John. I just really hate water."
John laughed and replied "Well that explains the smell if nothing else."
Cody looked at John replying "Very funny. So where first John."
John replied "What am I your personal shopper?"
Cody nodded his head and replied "Yes please. Not only that it helps my reputation if I am seen with you."
John laughed wiping more water from his forehead "I will just tell people you paid me."
Cody put his hands on his hips saying. "Now that would make you look rather gay wouldn't it."
John rolled his eyes and stared at Cody. He then said "No standing and talking like that would make you look rather gay oh dashing one."
Cody quickly moved his arms. "Where are we going first then?"
John pointed to one side of the store and said "The jewellery store would be good place to start."
…..
They both walked into the store. The shop was glistening with diamonds, emeralds, gold, silver, sapphire, and any other jewel you could think of.
Cody walked up to counter and spoke to one of the assistants. He asked "Hello I was wondering if you could help me I'm looking for something special for my partner."
Without any warning John put his arm around Cody's shoulder and said "He proposed yesterday. Im just so thrilled."
Cody quickly moved away as John started laughing with the shop assistant. As they finished laughing the assistant said "We have a number of things that may be suitable I will bring out a selection for you sir."
The assistant went into the back. Cody flicked Johns shoulder and said "That wasn't amusing."
John was still laughing a little "Im sorry Cody I beg to differ."
The assistant came back out with a velvet cushion full of jewellery. He put it down in front of Cody and John. "I hope one of these will be suitable."
Cody said "Thank you appreciate that."
John looked at his watch. As the seconds started to tick John thought "He better not take ages about this."
John watched as Cody picked up every item and looked at it for ages. "This necklace would look quite nice on Layla don't you think?"
John tried to help Cody "I think it would look very nice on her. You have to think is it something she can wear a lot or is it just going to come out on special occasions?"
"Your right John. I think I will still get her this necklace but I want to get her something that she will be able to use. I'm not sure jewellery is a good idea." Cody agreed with John.
As he motioned for the assistant to take the cushion away. He saw something and asked to take a look at it.
The assistant handed Cody a diamond sapphire ring. It was beautiful and glistened in the light. As Cody looked into it he could see his face.
"Hey John take a look at this." Said Cody
John turned around to Cody. As Cody lifted the ring up to show him a shiver went through John's body. John put his hand on the door frame as his head started to spin. The ring looked familiar to him but no in a good way. John was overwhelmed by a rush of emotions. He wanted to laugh. He wanted to cry. He wanted to pick the ring up and stamp on it over and over again. As he looked at the ring his blue eyes shined inside the jewel.
As the ring seemed to orbit around his mind John was snapped out of his trance by Cody talking.
"So how much is that ring then?" Cody asked
The assistant replied "Twenty seven thousand dollars sir."
"TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS" Shouted Cody.
"Yes sir it is a quality personified sir." Replied the assistant.
John listened to Cody's disbelief at the price of the ring. John knew exactly how much the ring was worth. He knew everything about the ring. That ring was a big part of what John had eating inside of him.
"John have you seen this?"
"Yes Cody I have seen it."
"I mean look though John twenty seven thousand dollars."
"I heard Cody."
"Im all for showing love and commitment John but that amount for a ring that is just stupid."
"Ok Cody I hear you."
"I mean come on John what if someone brought that ring and it didn't work out."
"Ok Cody"
"You wouldn't know. One of them might not like what the other one does for a living."
"Why are you still talking Cody?"
"Someone might not be home enough for the marriage to work John."
"That's enough Cody"
"Or you know someone might even cheat on the other one and make things even worse John."
"I'm losing my patience Cody."
"And that person could be left all alone with a cheating wife and a bill for a twenty seven thousand dollar ring."
"WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP CODY." Shouted John square in front of Cody's face
Cody fell down to the ground in shock as John shouted at him. Cody reached his hand up and handed the ring back to the shop assistant. Cody started to shuffle along the floor with his bags. He looked up as John was stood by the door frame.
John's left hand was on his forehead. As Cody looked up John wiped a tear from his hoping that it would go unnoticed. Cody continued to shuffle out of the door
John stepped over Cody's shoulder to stand in his way. "Where are you going?"
Cody looked up with fear across his eyes. "I was going to the bathroom. I may need to change my trousers."
John held his hand out and helped Cody to his feet. "Im sorry Cody. Look have you brought something for Layla now."
"Yeah I got her that necklace." Replied Cody still a little shaken up.
John answered "Ok then we better get going. I just need to stop off somewhere."
"Ok John no problem thank you for your help today." replied Cody
Cody paid for Laylas necklace and the two of them left the shop. John walked further down the store. Cody dragged his feet a little behind. Cody was a little nervous around John after John had snapped like he did. Cody wasn't the smartest tool in the shed but he had realised it was probably something to do with his wife.
Cody just followed as John headed into a storage depository.
"What are we doing here John?"
"I just have to pick something up Cody ok." Answered John
With each word John spoke Cody noticed his mood lowering. His voice changing. His body shape slouching. Johns pace had got slower and slower as the afternoon had gone on.
Cody asked "John are you ok?"
"Im ok Cody." John snapped as he dropped his keys to the ground trying to unlock his box.
Cody and John both bent down behind a table to pick up the keys. All of a sudden the room started to turn black. John and Cody looked up as the last little bit of light disappeared. The sound of the huge metal depository door echoed around the small room.
"Oh that's just perfect" Muttered John
