-Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change Once a whore your nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change!-
Laleia groaned and rubbed her head. She had slept all of three hours the night before. Sure, being in John's arms was nice and all, but thinking up a lie to tell her date kept her awake a long while. She ended up going with the 'dead cat' tale, weeping and all, over the phone. It made he a little sick how many times she'd used that excuse on guys after John had worked his magic. Laleia couldn't put her finger on it, but just being barely touched by him made her lose all resolve and control.
To her, he was the definition of irresistible.
It sometimes made her mad how much of an effect he had on her. He tended to taunt her with that simple fact again and again. John may have been her best friend, but being unable to resist his advances was hard on her. Laleia sometimes felt like he used this against her too much.
Nonetheless, she still loved him with all her heart. She had fallen for him many years back. He was her rock, the one thing constant in her life. Part of her hoped he felt the same, but most of her knew he didn't.
Or so she thought.

"Don't push me.. cause I'm close to the edge.." John rapped softly as he made his way into the arena. He bobbed his head to the beat. He grinned to himself. The night before had been amazing in his eyes. For the first time in about three months, he got to touch Laleia again. Her skin was so soft beneath his fingers, just thinking about it made his spine tingle.
John tossed his gear into his locker room and wandered down the hall. Laleia was gone when he had woken up that morning and he wanted to talk to her. This was normal for her, she never usually stayed until he woke up. She always had to make it to work early.
John chuckled to himself, "That girl is so dedicated to that writer's job, its crazy." He thought. If he was half as dedicated as her, he'd be beyond undisputed champ by now. Right now, all he wanted to do was drop the WWE title. It was a lot of pressure on him. He was lucky to get an hour of sleep each night. He was running on coffee, Red Bull, and a passion for his work. As much as he loved being champion, right now, being in a lower card situation and having a vacation wouldn't bother him one bit.
Sadly, that was the furthest thing from his future. Vince was so focused on keeping him champion, he was never going to get a break. As much as he loved the business he was in, this pressure of being on top all the time was hard on him. The fans were the only ones keeping him going, and even half of them were turning on him. Sure he could take the booing, but some of the fans were downright brutal. Throwing anything from nachos to water bottles, spray painting his rentals, even going as far as to spit on him. John may not have gotten bent out of shape over much, but sometimes he had to bite his lip and clench his fists to keep from going insane.
John continued to make his way down the hall and smiled when he saw a very familiar brunette and grinned. He snuck up behind her and poked her sides, "Boo." He stated softly and laughed as she nearly jumped out of her skin.
Laleia spun around and smacked him upside the head, "You scared the shit outta me asshole!" she said, a small smile tugging at her lips. John grinned brighter, "I know, it was fun." he said grinning a grin that said 'Cheesy am I. I am the Cheese.' Laleia shook her head, "Pure asshole. That what you are." She sassed softly. John chuckled, "Did I ever tell you how sexy you look when you're angry?"
Laleia laughed, "Yes you have actually." She said softly and began to retell one of their old stories from their youth.
-Flashback-
"Ley.. are you sure you wanna play this? 'cause if you don't its totally fine with me.." 15 year old John Cena stammered to his best friend.
Laleia laughed, "Cena are you chicken?" she taunted and began the chicken noises. John blushed, "Am not.. its just.. stupid."
"Hey, you proposed that we play this.. so get to it.. there's a car coming.. do it now!" Laleia said, egging him on. John took in a breath. He had suggested this game of human Frogger, but he never thought she'd actually go for it. He mentally kicked himself a few times and sighed.
"Fine.." John finally breathed out and ran across the street screeching like a banshee. Laleia cracked up at her best friend. Anything they did he always had to go all out on. Laleia watched him with a small smile and ran back home, leaving John on the other side of the highway.
"Ha HA!" John shouted in victory. "Ya see that Ley!" He said then turned. He looked from side to side and then across the street.
"Ley?" John stared across the street. "Where'd she go.."
After her pee break, Laleia strode back and hid behind a tree stifling a laugh, "This is too priceless." she whispered softly as she hid from him and from the rain.
John wandered across the highway. "Ley? This isn't funny! Where ar.." John stopped in mid sentence and shielded his eye. Headlights approaching fast and blinded him. He stood there frozen in place.
Laleia's eye widened, "John MOVE!" She screeched at him. John didn't move, frozen in fear. "Oh shit.." He muttered.
Laleia ran for him and pulled him on top of her, just seconds before the car came. His weight on top of her caused them to roll down the hill. When they finally stopped, John was beneath Laleia breathing heavily. Both were completely soaked.
As the rain began to poor harder, Laleia glared at John. "John!" She screamed, "Are you stupid? Why didn't you move!" John looked up at her and started laughing. Laleia raised a brow, "What the hell about you almost dying is funny Cena?" she questioned, narrowing her eyes. John let out a breath and grinned, "Damn what a rush.."
Laleia slapped him, "You idiot! You scared me half to death!" she said, an angry scowl upon her delicate features. John held his cheek, "Jesus woman! That hurt!"
"Good!" Laleia sassed as she tried to get up. John pulled her closer and rolled over so she was beneath him. Laleia looked up at him and blinked softly as water dripped off his face onto hers. "I'm sorry.." He said softly.
Laleia rolled her eyes, "Mmhmm." she said softly. John laughed, "You know.." he said leaning in and whispered huskily, "You're pretty sexy when you're mad." He rested his forehead on hers and smiled, not breaking from her gaze. Laleia began to blush as she realized how close they were. She'd had a crush on John for as long as she could remember. She nuzzled her nose with his softly, "Oh I am huh?"
John smirked, "Damn right." he breathed out softly. His eyes fluttered closed, as did hers. John slowly moved in about to capture his lips in his, when suddenly.
"JOHN FELIX ANTHONY CENA! GET IN THIS HOUSE RIGHT NOW BEFORE YOU CATCH A DAMN COLD!"
-End Flashback-
--I'm holding on your rope, Got me ten feet off the ground, I'm hearin' what you say, but I just can't make a sound You tell me that you need me, Then you go and cut me down..--
John laughed softly, "Yeah mom was a little health conscious.." he said once she had finished
Laleia laughed, "Boy, a little is the understatement of the year." she stated. John wrapped his arms around her and grinned. "Guess what.." he said softly.
Laleia sighed softly, "Please don't let it be the, 'I need to fart..' announcement. I've had enough of your toxic gases to last me two and a half lifetimes."
John laughed and blew a raspberry on her cheek, "Nahh this announcement is ten times better." he said with a small grin.
"Well out with it, Meathead." She said, using his old nickname. "I do have work to do."
"Shut up, Mrs. Webster and I'll tell you." He said, shooting her own former nickname right back with a chuckle. She smacked his face playfully. "Out with it man!" She demanded, poking him incessantly.
John grinned, "I have a date with Maria!" he finally revealed, seemingly happily. Laleia, however, wasn't as impressed.
"That's it? Well at least it wasn't 'I have to shit..' or something to that degree." She said and shook her head.
Laleia pulled out of his arms gently, "I have to go and do scripts. Enjoy your date." She said smiling softly. She then turned on her heel and click-clacked back down the hall.
John's brow furrowed in confusion, "She never gets jealous. Never."
