When I got back to my room I laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling. I had no idea how Stephen could know about my previous wrestling days. Well actually it would have been pretty easy for anyone to find out. There were YouTube videos of me wrestling and I'm sure it was on my Wikipedia page. Wait do I have a Wikipedia page?
I grabbed my computer and logged onto the internet. I had only been in the WWE for a few months; it had never occurred to me to check if I had a wiki page. Son of bitch I had Wikipedia page. I quickly read over what people had written on it. It was actually pretty accurate...almost creepily accurate. The explanation for my sudden change in character was just a switch in brand. At least people weren't super into my personal business.
So Stephen could have just googled me to know about my former wrestling. On Friday I would just ask him about how he knew. Mostly because that would be a good excuse to talk to him again. I really should just start talking to people more anyway. I need more friends at work than just Aj. Maybe I should start with Daniel I have already talked to him quite a bit since he and Aj are in a storyline together. OK new goal to make friends starting Friday.
I spent the rest of the day relaxing in my room. Wednesday went the same as the day before, but before going into the gym I creeped outside looking in the window to make sure Stephen wasn't there. On Thursday I went and did two desperate radio interviews for local stations. Neither asked about my performance on Monday which surprised me a little. I guess neither were very big fans of wrestling.
On Friday I woke up to a call from Aj who wanted to meet at the hotels restaurant for breakfast. I got ready quickly in something a little nicer than sweats and got in the elevator. When I got to the restaurant Aj was waiting outisde. She saw me and jumped into the air waving her arms before running up and jumping on me. I started laughing, but held her up. She's lucky she was so much smaller than me or else I wouldn't have been able to hold her.
We then walked into the restaurant we were quickly seated an given menus. We didn't talk at all until the waiter came and took our order. I got French toast and she got waffles. Then I told her all about my encounter with Stephen in the gym.
"He knew your old name! Maybe he's secretly in love with you and has been stalking you." I stared at her as she sipped from her juice.
"Why does that make sense."
"I'm a hopeless romantic." I looked at her with an eyebrow up.
"Since when is stalking romantic?"
"He's interested in you and your intrests, just embrace and embrace him." Aj put her fist on the table before we both burst out laughing. Then from to the side I saw John Cena walking up to our table. As he got close he held his arms to the side.
"There's my little ass kicker!" We both looked at him shocked and confused. He smiled at us before pulling out a chair at our table. "Eva you were fantastic! You ended the match in a flury of awesome!"
"Oh, thanks John."
"I went online and looked up all your old matches. I'm totally hooked! You're my favorite diva ever! I have to have your autograph." He leaned back in the chair and pulled a sharpie out of his pocket. Then he looked around for something to write on before grabbing my napkin. He held out the napkin and pen towards me.
"I'm not signing the restaurant's clothe napkin." He didn't move.
"I'm John Cana it's fine. Sign, sign, sign." I took the napkin and signed it.
"No sign it as Averil, too." I smiled at him.
"If you did so much research you should know she doesn't sign autographs." I handed him back the pen and napkin.
"Damn, I was hoping to sell for the big bucks." The waiter came up with refills and looked at John confused.
"Hey, I'm going to be joining the ladies here so can you make sure my meal comes here." The waiter nodded slowly as he set down the drinks. "Also were going to need another napkin because it looks like she didn't get one." He pointed at me and tilted his head eyebrows raised.
Aj and I looked at each other and tried not to laugh as the waiter hurried away. Once he had disappeared back into the kitchen we all started laughing before hurrying to get it back together as the waiter returned with a new napkin. I took it with a smile before he left again saying our food was ready. He returned with our food before we could start talking. John was really easy to talk to and lunch was a lot of fun.
John had to leave pretty much tight after we were finished because he had an interview to go to. I followed Aj to her car as she grabbed her bag then we headed back up to the room. When we got there Aj immediately went through the TV channels and found the movie channel before laying back on the bed. She then rolled over onto her side and propped her head with her hand.
"New plan you embrace John and never let him go." I laughed.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind and what makes you think John will appreciate my embraces."
"He loves you! Your his favorite diva." I sat next to her on the bed.
"OK so John is now magic in your eyes?" She nodded and sat up next to me. "An hour ago you wanted me to latch onto Stephen what changed your mind?"
"Stephen's great. Accent, pretty eyes, tall; total package, but not making a move. Stalking you is all well in good, but if he isn't gonna break into your house it's useless." My mouth dropped.
"Breaks into my house?" She shifted her eyes back and forth.
"I was trying to stick with a metaphor. Long story short he's great, but hasn't made a move."
I looked at her and thought. I had been waiting for Stephen to make a move for a long time now. Maybe I should move on, but it's not like we had really talked very much. Or at all. It was more me staring at him from a distance as I listened to his accent. I would give it a month. If nothing happened between Stephen and I in a month then I would move on.
