Two weeks had passed Lorraine and Misty were quickly becoming friends. Lorraine didn't know that the only reason Misty wanted to be her friend was to get closer to John. Lorraine was in the hotel gym on the treadmill. Misty got on the one next to hers.
"Hi." Lorraine said.
"Hi Rae."
"How are you today?"
"Fine, how are you?"
"I'm good." "So, you've been here for a few weeks now." "What do you think?"
"I love it."
"Takes you over quick doesn't it?"
"Yeah."
"You know, I really don't know that much about you." "Where are you from?"
"Minnesota." "My mom and dad own a bakery there."
"Have you always lived in Minnesota?"
"Yeah born and raised." "Where are you from?"
"Miami."
"So you don't live with John?"
"No we've never really talked about it."
"How long have you been together?"
"A little over a year." "We knew each other a few years before that but he was married." "It was a really messy divorce." "At first I was only there as a shoulder to cry on." "Eventually we ended up falling in love."
"That's so romantic."
"If you would've told me when I started here three years ago that I would be dating John, I would've said you're out of your mind."
"Weren't you attracted to him before you started going out?"
"Yeah I just didn't think he'd be attracted to me." "He told me you asked him out a couple weeks ago."
"I'm sorry I didn't know you were seeing him then."
"It's ok, it was an honest mistake." "John and I were actually wondering if you'd like to go to lunch with us." "How's tomorrow for you?"
"Great." Lorraine stopped the treadmill. "Well I'll see you later."
"Ok bye."
"Bye."
The next afternoon Misty met Lorraine and John for lunch.
"Hi Misty." Lorraine said.
"Hi Rae." "Hi John."
"Hi." John said. Lorraine looked at John.
"Honey I have to go to the bathroom." She said. "Will you order me a Coke?"
"Sure." Lorraine got up and went to the bathroom. "Do you like it here so far Misty?"
"Yeah." "It's great." "So far I've met great people." "Like Rae and you." "She told me the story of how you guys fell in love." "I thought it was so sweet."
"Yeah she was my rock through it all." "She means everything to me."
"I can tell." "I wanted to apologize again for a couple weeks ago." "I'm sorry."
"You mean when you asked me out?"
"Yeah."
"It's ok don't worry about it."
"Still it would've been fun."
"What?"
"John, I'm kidding." She laughed.
"Oh."
"You should've seen the look on your face."
"You got me."
Later that night they were all at the arena. Lorraine was in the Divas Locker Room about to go out for her match.
"Good luck." Misty said.
"Thanks." She left.
As soon as she left Misty got into her locker and took her eyes. She knew she didn't have much time. She drove to a hardware store. She walked to the desk.
"Hi I need keys copied." She said.
"How many?" The lady behind the counter asked.
"Every one on this ring."
She made it back in ten minutes. Just as she shut Lorraine's locker she walked in.
"Hey." "Did you win?" Misty asked.
"Yeah."
"Good for you."
Two days later everyone had a few days off. Lorraine was at John's house. It was nighttime. John was out running errands. Lorraine had just gotten out of the shower. Her hair was still wet. She put on a t-shirt. John walked in. Lorraine jumped.
"Jesus, you scared me." She said.
"I'm sorry." He smirked at her.
"What?"
"You look really sexy."
"I just got out of the shower."
"Come here."
"What's the magic word?"
"I love you."
"That's three words but it'll do." "So." She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. "Do you want me?"
"Uh-huh." They kissed and laid back on the bed.
Afterward John took a shower. He came out and laid down next to Lorraine.
"Rae, the condom broke." He said.
"Uh-oh."
"Maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing."
"What are you saying?" "You wanna have a baby?"
"If just saying if we do it'd be a nice surprise." "I was thinking Lorraine." "I want you to move in with me."
"Ok." She kissed him. "I love you."
"I love you to."
Misty was sitting at home watching The Marine.
"Soon I'll mean everything to you, John." "We're gonna be so happy together." She thought.
