After the show, Mike insisted I drive with him and John to the bar. I'd won the match against Eve and they wanted to celebrate. I'd informed them Vince was going to be giving me the Diva's title next week on Raw.
"I wonder why he's here?" Mike said gesturing to unmistakable form of the number one contender for the World title.
"Isn't he still on Smackdown?" John questioned. I glared at the back of Drew's head and nodded.
"Evie, are you up for some karaoke?" Nattie asked coming over to the three of us.
"Count me in, but not until I get a drink." I said still glaring at my ex-boyfriend.
"Isn't that Drew sitting over there with Melina?" Natalya questioned.
"Yes. I should've known he was lying when he said it was 'insignificant'." I scoffed.
"It was her? And she's been pretending to be your friend? Does she know you know?" Nattie asked quietly. I shook my head and went over to the bar.
"Whiskey, please."
"Are you sure you don't want something that will go down smoother?" Cody asked sidling up beside me.
"No, not with Drew rubbing it in my face. Give me something hard, and something fast." I said glaring in the direction of the cheating couple.
"If that's what you want, you shouldn't have to drink." Cody said with a cheeky grin. I rolled my eyes and paid for my drink.
"I should've known something was going on with her." Said a voice from the other side of me. I turned around to look at JoMo.
"You were with her?" I questioned.
"And you were with him. Looks like we make a good pair." John nodded as he downed a shot of tequila.
"I guess we do. Cody can you watch my drink? I think, I'm gonna do some karaoke." I said looking at my friend.
"I'll watch it. Don't do something drastically stupid." Randy said coming over to the bar where the three of us stood.
"I won't, I promise. It's just karaoke." I nodded.
"And none of us will have to hold your head over the toilet at the end of the night, right?"
"It's just one drink. And I haven't touched it yet, so you can't even blame this on the alcohol."
"Go have fun. You deserve it for putting up with the cheating bastard." Ted said coming over to get a beer.
"Thanks, Ted." I nodded. I went over to the tech by the karaoke and told him what song I wanted. The first chords for Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood hit the airwaves and I hit the stage. I made sure that I had gotten Drew's attention, I had left my hair down and wore a super short skirt and tube top. I had intended on just getting someone's notice at the bar, but when I saw him sitting there, I knew I had to do something to let him know that I knew about everything.
"Right now he's probably slow dancing
With a bleached-blond tramp
And she's probably getting frisky
Right now, he's probably buying
Her some fruity little drink
'Cause she can't shoot whiskey
"Right now, he's probably up behind her
With a pool stick
Showing her how to shoot a combo
And he don't know
"I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
"Right now, she's probably up singing some
White-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she's probably saying, "I'm drunk"
And he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky
"Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars
Worth of that bathroom Polo
Oh and he don't know
"That I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
"I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl
'Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won't be on me!
No, not on me
"'Cause I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh, maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh, before he cheats
Oh"
I got off the stage and walked over to where Randy, Ted, Cody, Mike and JoMo were sitting.
"I didn't know you could sing like that…" Cody said gaping at me.
"You never asked," I shrugged taking my whiskey from Randy. "Thanks, Randy."
"I gather McIntyre cheated on you." Mike said.
"Ya think? Really, how did you not figure it out before now?" I asked with a roll of my eyes.
"Love, we need to talk." Drew said coming over to our table.
"I think you should give the lady her space, Drew. You've caused her enough trouble." John said glaring at the Scotsman.
"This isn't your concern, John. Stay out of it." Drew said glaring back at John. He turned to me and said, "Love, we really need to talk about this."
"We've said everything that needed to be said before I left. There's nothing left to say, Drew." I said from across the table.
"Love, I really think we should talk about what happened between the two of us…"
"No, we don't. You said it was insignificant. A mistake. I can obviously see you were lying. You deserved the slap Friday night. I have nothing left to say. Go back to your table and leave me the hell alone." I said gulping down the whiskey.
"You really shouldn't drink that too fast, Love. You know you have a problem holding your liquor." Drew said leaving the table.
"I thought you said we wouldn't have to hold your head over the toilet later on?" Randy asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You won't. I'll see you guys back at the hotel." I said grabbing my coat.
"I'll walk with you. I don't really want to be here. I'm sure Nattie'll understand if we leave." John said grabbing his coat as well.
We walked back to the hotel. We walked in and headed to the elevator to take us up to our floor.
"Do you want to come in and talk?" John asked as we came up to his room first.
"I shouldn't, but what the hell. It's not like either of us have anything to hide." I said as he opened the door. We walked into the room, took our coats off and sat on the couch. There were several moments of awkward silence.
"Do you want something to drink?" John asked standing up.
"Sure." I nodded. He called down to room service and had them send up a bottle of vodka.
I woke up the next morning, not exactly sure where I was. I knew I was in a bed with someone next to me, but who? John. It dawned on me I had spent the night with JoMo. Awkward. We'd come back from the bar after seeing Drew and Melina together and proceeded to get, well, I guess the right choice of words would be: utterly smashed. I couldn't tell you how we had ended up in bed. I knew I didn't have a stitch of clothing on. It wasn't the ideal way to move on after having your boyfriend cheat on you, but it could have been much worse…it could have been Mike. Or Ted. Or Randy. I cringed thinking about the possibilities.
I tried to get out of bed without waking him. I hadn't realized he'd wrapped an arm around me until he pulled me back against him.
"Morning, sleepy head." He mumbled.
"Uh, John…" I started, but not really knowing what he remembered, just dropped it.
"Did we?" He asked as we pulled away from each other and I pulled the covers up to my chin.
"I think we did…" I cringed.
"We did have a bit much to drink…"
"Is this going to affect our work relationship?" I asked.
"We don't exactly have a 'work relationship'. You have a 'work relationship' with Mike, I'm just along for the ride." He said. "Wrong choice of words."
"I hope this isn't going to make things hard for us at the arenas."
"Is that how we are going to handle things? I could have come up with something much…stiffer."
"I think you already have…" I said glancing over at the blanket that covered his lower half.
"Seriously, we handle it like adults. If you want, we can pretend this never happened and go on with things the way they were yesterday." John said.
I nodded in agreement. "I think it would be the best way to handle this. Right now, I need to sneak up three floors and into my room." I said trying to get out of the bed and find my clothes without giving him a floor show. He noticed this and turned around to give me a bit of privacy.
Once I was dressed I headed over to the door. John had thrown on a pair of jeans.
"I'll meet you and Mike at the car at…what time did we say?" I asked as I opened the door.
"Eleven." John nodded as he stood in the door way. I nodded back at him and looked down the corridor. I noticed Drew down the hall sneaking out, kind of like I was doing. John moved back into the room and closed the door as I moved into the hall.
"Love? What are you doing?" Drew asked.
"I could ask you the same thing? But you know what? I don't really care anymore. You can sneak out of Melina's room all you want. Yes, I know who it was, Drew. Don't bother to deny it, Wade and Cena told me all about it." I sighed trying to get away from John's room before Drew had a chance to say something about whose room I was coming out of.
"Are you sneaking around, Love?" Drew scoffed as he walked over to me.
"What would I have to be sneaking around about?" I asked. I never realized I had forgotten my scrunchie on John's bed. The door we were currently standing in front of opened and John was holding my scrunchie in his hand.
"Evie, you forgot this." He said just before realizing I wasn't alone in the hall.
"So, you were sneaking out of John's room, were you, Love? I didn't think you were like that." Drew sneered.
"She's not. Nothing happened last night, Galloway. She fell asleep on the couch. We were talking and she fell asleep. I couldn't bear to wake her to send her back to her room." John said stepping into the hall, still clad only in the pair of jeans he threw on to walk me to the door.
"John, forget it. Let him think whatever he wants. I don't really care anymore what he thinks of me. You and I know what happened or didn't happen, and that's what matters. It's really not going to affect my reputation any more than sharing a room with him did. And that wasn't much. Everyone knows Drew wouldn't have been able to keep up his end of the bargain." I smirked.
"What would you know about 'my end of the bargain'? You and I never slept together." Drew spat.
"I've heard rumors. Albeit the rumors could be just that, but I wouldn't put it passed someone, say Tiffany, to have put them out there for everyone to hear." I shrugged with a wink.
"Love, you are going to regret breaking things off. And John isn't going to be any better for you than I was. I highly doubt he's going to be able to last any longer than I was before sleeping with someone else." Drew snapped before storming off in the direction of the elevators.
"Thank you for not going on about what happened last night." I said turning and taking my scrunchie from him.
"You're welcome. It was nothing he needed to know. He would have just shoved it in your face anyway." John nodded.
"Yeah, he would have," I nodded in agreement.
"He didn't have to bring up the whole cheating thing, but he did. Just to clear things up, I wouldn't have done that to you. If we choose to get together, mutually, and you aren't ready, I would be more than willing to wait until you were ready." He said pulling me into a hug.
"Thank you. You didn't have to address it." I smiled as I pulled back from the embrace.
"Yes, I did. He was being an ass to start with, but he brought me into it. I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't leave you thinking he may have been telling the truth." John sighed.
"John, thank you for being gown up about this." I said the smile sliding from my face.
"There's no other way to handle it. We're both adults, we need to handle things like adults would. It's not like we're in high school or anything." He smirked.
