The Date That Change Everything!

Disclaimer: In the first chapter!

After a long night of what seemed like a never ending work night John was heading to the hotel. He had a double date to get ready for and he knew that he couldnt get out of it now. The more he thought about it the more it seemed like he was rushing into things a little to fast, but he knew that he would have to move on sometime so he would get a head start on trying to find that someone that fit him perfectly. As he pulled up to the hotel he looked around at all of the people there walking in and out like clock work put his mind in over drive. He was thinking about all the things that could have been with Liz if they would have worked out, but then there were the bad things that he never talked about with anyone that was driving him crazy. He shook the thoughts out of his mind as he got out of the car and grabbed his things out of the back. He was praying that there was no fans around cause he really didnt want to deal with all of that right now. John was never like that with any of the fans, but he just didnt want them to be asking alot of questions that he just couldnt answer right then and there.

John shook his head shutting the trunk and walking into the hotel really fast and checking in. He watched all these normal couples that were coming in and out and he just couldnt wrap his mind around the fact that he married someone that wasnt the right person for him when he actually thought that she was the one. He never thought that he was going to be the one that was going through a divorce so soon, but now that its happening. Omce again he was brought out of his train of thought when he was handed his key to his room. Once he had the key he took the bags and headed up to his room without a second glance around. As he was in the elevator he was thinking about the whole double date and that was when it hit him that this was the chance for him to actually not think about the whole Liz thing and that is what made his whole mind change about the whole thing.

He walked off the elevator once it stopped and headed straight to his room looking around. As he got to his door and opened looking around before walking in. As he shut the door he took his bags over to the bed and set them down on the bed. He looked around before going through his bags to find something nice to wear out on the double date. Once he had the clothes he walked into the bathroom and started the shower. He got undressed and got in the shower without a second thought about it.

*At Dinner*

Everyone seemed to be sitting there akward and not saying a word. AJ looked around taking a deep breathe this was her first date since her and Daniel Bryan broke up and she knew that this wasnt any better for John since he hadnt been seprated from Liz. Randy watched everyone unsure of what to do with this being his idea and now everyone was there together and no one was talking about anything he had to figure out something to change the mood. Ryleigh watched the group rubbing her hands together when she had the best idea and she was going to start the conversiaon.

"So AJ how have things been since you have been away from Daniel?" She asked

"They have been going. I dont want to say they have been great, but they have really been going slow."

"Why is that?" Ryleigh asked

"Because its like you have someone there with you through everything and then one day they dont want anything else to do with you. It just gets really hard." She said as she noticed that John was listening

"AJ you just have to keep your head up. You know that there is someone better out there for you and when you find them its just going to make Daniel all the more jealous."

"Trust Ryleigh she knows what she is talking about when it comes to things like this." Randy said "Dont you think John?"

"Yeah. She has been in way worse relationships than anyone could have ever image." He said

"She has?" AJ asked

"Oh yeah. She was in a very bad abusive relationship and she took the risk and she walked out." He said

"Oh wow...I didnt even know that she was in that kind of relationship." Aj said

"I was, but like John said I got the hell out and when I did it took me sometime to fix myself and when I did that is when I found a better love in a married man who was going through a divorce himself and look at us now." she said

"Yeah, we are going stronger than ever and I wouldnt change any of it for the world." Randy said

"Thats great." Aj said "I just hope that Im as lucky as you two are."

"Yeah me too." John said

"Dont you two worry. You guys will find someone and when you do you will feel a sense of warmth and compassion that you never thought you would ever feel for someone. And its the most amazing feeling that you could ever feel." They said at the sametime

AJ and John nodded as their food was brought over to them and set down. As they started eating the conversiaon seemed to be going really good. Ryleigh noticed that John and AJ were talking alot more than they were when they first got there. Ryleigh was really proud of herself since she was the one that actually started up everything even when her boyfriend thought that he had everything under control. As everyone finished up dinner and noticed how others were walking in it seemed to be about that time to call it a night, but AJ and John were having such a good time talking and getting to know each other that they didnt really want to head back just yet. Ryleigh figured this would be a good time for her and Randy to head out so they could get to know each other without them right there.

"Randy I'm really beat so I think we should call it a night." She said

"Ryleigh come on. Its early." he tried to protest he got smacked by her "Okay its a good idea for us to head out now."

"Awww...Come on guys." AJ said

"Yeah its not going to be the same without you." John said

"We promise to hang out again, but right now we just need to get some rest." Ryleigh said

"She is right, I do have to deal with some interviews and picking up my daughter to." He said

"Okay." They said

"Have fun guys." Ryleigh said taking Randy's hand as they walked out.

John watched them walk out before looking back over into the New Jersey Native's eyes. He never noticed how beautiful her brown eyes were. He had never seen more beautiful eyes in his life and he just couldnt stop staring into them. AJ smiled looking into his eyes and she knew that there was something different about him and that was something that she wanted from a man. She was so tired of being with the same old guy that always put her down or always made her feel less special, but with John she could tell that he was going to make her feel things that she never thought she could feel before. She was known for being the crazy chic in World Wrestling Entertainment , but outside o fthe ring she is completely different and that is what makes her the best person she can be or so she kept telling herself.

"So what would you like to do now?" John asked

"Im down for whatever." She replied

"How about we get out of here and take a walk just to get to know each other."

"That sounds like a good idea John." She said

He nodded getting paying for their food getting up and helped her up out of her chair before leading her out. He led her to the park that was across the way. AJ followed him looking up at the night sky smiling she couldnt believe that this was actually happening, but then again she was more worried about what could happen if things didnt go right. As they reached a bench they both sat down looking around. John was trying to find the right words to say something, but it was kind of hard since he really hadnt done this in about three years. AJ on the other hand has had dates, but they never really seemed as interesting as John did and she wanted to know more about him, but she just didnt know how to ask him. Just as she was getting ready to ask something John beat her to the punch.

"So why did you and Daniel break up?" John asked

"He just got to cocky and more into himself and it just seemed like I was more of his arm candy than I was the girl he was suppose to love." she said

"So your saying that he just became an asshole that didnt give a damn about you?" He asked

"If that is your nice way of saying it then yes."

"That really wasnt the nice way of saying it AJ. That was more of me being serious cause no man should ever treat anyone woman that way." he said a little irrated.

"John I didnt mean." She started

"No AJ dont you dare say your sorry because your not the one that should be sorry. That asshole is the one that should be down here making you feel more beautiful and more worth something than he did and the fact that he didnt just pissed me off." He said

She nodded looking down.

John saw her looking down and that was when he lifted her chin up and made her look into his eyes. "AJ Im sorry that I lost my temper the way I did. Please forgive me." he said

"John there is no need to apologise because everything that you said was true. Its just really hard for me to hear it that way and when its coming from another guy just makes things seem all the more real and things shouldnt have ever gotten that bad between us not like that."

"Well your out of the relationship right now. So I say you make your self feel better and dont take cramp off of anyone." he said

"That sounds so easy, but I dont know if I can."

"AJ you can do anything you put your mind too."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes I am." He said

"Okay. Ill give it a try."

"Good." he said

As time went on they talked and talked about everything they could think of and the more they talked the more they actually found out they had in common. Things seemed like they were actually falling into place and it just didnt seem all that real to them. John looked over at the time and his eyes widen "I think we should head back to the hotel and get some sleep."

"That sounds good." She said

He nodded taking her hand and leading her back to the hotel. After they got off the elevator he led her to her room just to make sure that she got there okay. They both said their good nights before John headed back to his room. Once he was inside his room he sat down on the bed and looked around smiling before laying back. He couldnt believe how well the nights had went and he was more than happy that Randy and Ryleigh pushed him into going out that night. He just couldnt wait to see what the next day would bring for him and his new found glory.
