Lita stared up at the ceiling as she laid down in bed. Mickie just left a few minutes ago. She kept asking her about Edge and whether or not she thinks if he actually likes her. She also wanted to know why Edge wouldn't ask her out yet if Lita claimed that Edge did like her. Lita reassured her brunette friend that Edge was just a little nervous and wasn't sure if Mickie liked him. Everyone knew that Edge liked Mickie and everyone knew that Mickie liked Edge, except for Edge himself. His friends thought it would be better for him to find that out on his own. He was convinced Mickie wanted nothing to do with him because she left the room every time he entered. She was just nervous and didn't think she could control herself around him. This all was starting to feel like high school for Lita.
She picked up her phone which was right next to her and saw that it was still only 10:30 pm so she wasn't expecting Trish back any time soon. Actually, she wouldn't be surprised if Trish showed up early because from the way she saw things today, Trish and John weren't even acting like a couple. More like friends. They didn't even show any sort of affection towards one another while they were all together. Maybe they didn't feel comfortable but Trish wasn't one to shy away from showing any type of affection when she was with any of her past boyfriends. Maybe it was John who wasn't comfortable with public display of affection. Whatever it was, the red head wanted to talk to Trish about this. A part of her thought maybe she was just using John as a rebound to get over her ex boyfriend. Trish was heart broken when he broke up with her.
Lita's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of her cell phone. She didn't even bother to see who it was when she answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Li, I need to talk to you." Edge replied on the other line.
Lita rolled her eyes. She had a feeling she knew what this was going to be about. "Yes, can I help you?" Lita questioned as she sat up in her bed.
"It's about Mickie."
Yup. Lita correctly assumed this was about Mickie. She was getting a little tired by listening to her two friends talk about one another. This was not high school. They were all grown adults who could take care of whatever was bothering them by talking about it with the other. "Look. I didn't want to tell you this and I wanted you to figure this out on your own but I think you're just a little slow in this department. Both you and Mickie are starting to annoy me by constantly asking me about one another! Open your eyes! She likes you. She's waiting for you to ask her out. Just do it and put her out of her misery. You'll actually be doing me a favor and putting me out of my misery as well!"
Edge was silent for a minute before he replied to what the red head just said. "So she likes me?"
"UGH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! YES!"
"Okay okay okay. Sorry."
"I'm about to hang up on you."
"Sorry. I didn't mean to get you upset. I just wanted to make sure before I made a fool of myself."
"Well sometimes you just have to take that chance. If you don't mind, I'm getting tired so I'll talk to you later."
"Okay. Thanks and I really am sorry for annoying you or whatever."
"Yea," Lita responded as she laid back down. "I'm sorry for snapping at you just now. I'm just tired."
"Are you sure that's all?."
Lita let out a sigh. "Yea, I'm okay. Just a little tired."
"Alright. And you know if there's anything wrong, you can just call me."
"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. Good night."
"Good night." Edge replied as they ended their conversation.
Lita didn't know why this whole thing with Trish and John was bothering her. Maybe she just wanted to know if her friend was happy. She really thought John was just a rebound for her best friend. Maybe she was just over analyzing things but she really wanted to make sure Trish was happy and wouldn't end up hurting herself, or even John, in whatever this was that was going on between the two of them.
She soon dozed off as she thought about how she would talk to Trish about it without getting her upset.
*Next Morning*
Lita sat up in bed as she rubbed her eyes and let out a small yawn. She looked over to her roommates bed to see if she was back from her night with John. Trish was still asleep but it looked like she was stirring a bit in her sleep. The red head didn't know what time Trish got in last night. They didn't really have to travel that far since the house show for the night was in Washington DC which was about an hour away from the hotel they were staying at in Baltimore. They didn't have to leave for the house show until around 4 o'clock but Lita and Edge were going to leave an hour earlier because Vince wanted to talk to them along with John about something in their story line.
Lita got out of her bed as she went towards her bag to take out her clothes for the day. She wanted to take a shower before Trish woke up because she knew how long the blonde would take if she got hold of the bathroom first.
It was unusual for him, but John was awake since 7 am. He didn't usually room with anyone but he was actually rooming with the self proclaimed Legend Killer. It was really hard for him to stay asleep when Randy was snoring so loud. He already took a shower and was just watching SportsCenter. It was a good thing they were showing the highlights of the Redsox game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It was a good one and he was happy to just catch the highlights.
He started to think about yesterday and how it was actually fun hanging out with his girlfriend and her best-friend. He didn't know what this thing with Trish was. It seemed like Trish was taking it more seriously than he was. He really didn't know how she felt about him but he thought she definitely had more feelings towards him then he did towards her. He wasn't looking for anything serious right now. If something serious were to come up, he'd be fine with it.
He really didn't understand at all as to why it mattered why he got along with Lita. But whatever it was, he guessed it didn't really matter because they did start to get along a bit and that would be helpful since they did have that story line to deal with, especially since McMahon was trying to do something else with their story line which would probably extend it for a longer time. Maybe she wouldn't intentionally try to kick him in his balls anymore in the ring when they didn't even plan it. That still pissed him off a bit whenever he thought about it but he did give her the FU a couple of times. But then again, those FU's were actually planned. He thought Lita could be a real bitch but she was fun to hang with even if she was a little on the violent side.
He was still a little tired and was starting to get bored watching highlights of different games so he thought why not wake up the main reason why he didn't get enough sleep. He thought of waking up his friend in a fun way... Well, a fun way for himself and a not so fun way for Randy.
He got up from the couch and grabbed a cup that was on the table and went into the bathroom to fill the cup up with water. He thought he would fill the cup up with hot water but thought that would be too cruel so then he thought to fill the cup with cold water and settled with that. Once the cup was full with cold water, he went near the head of the bed on which Randy was sleeping. Without another thought, John dropped all the water out of the cup and onto his friends face who in return stated to yell and scream which made John fall to the ground in a fit of laughter.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT CENA?!" Randy was not too happy, but then again who could expect for him to be happy when he was waken up the way the current WWE Champ woke him.
"I was bored. I mean, you were snorin' and I couldn't fall back asleep."
"SO YOU HAD TO DROP WATER ON ME?!"
"Yea. And could ya stop yelling." John smirked as he stopped laughing and got up off from the floor. "It's too early for that."
The Champ soon found himself on the receiving end of a glare. "And it's not too early for you to drop cold water on me?!"
"Not really. Like I said, I was bored and I needed somethin' to amuse me and guess what? Throwin' water on ya amused me."
"You know, I'm gonna kick your ass when I'm more awake and aware. Gives you a chance to hide."
"Whatever." John said as he went to the door. "I was bout to head out anyways. See if Edge is awake yet."
The St. Louis native fell back in his bed as John closed the door behind him. "I'm gonna kill him."
*Half an Hour Later*
Lita was sitting in the couch in the hotel room aimlessly surfing through the channels on tv. Nothing was on except for morning shows and kiddy shows but that was to be excepted since it was 9 in the morning on a weekday. She sighed as she turned the tv off and started to look through her phone to see a couple of text messages Edge had sent her late last night while she was sleeping. He sent her multiple texts apologizing to her about Mickie all the time and he thanked her for putting up with her. She rolled her eyes as she read the texts and decided to call him.
"Hello?" The blonde Canadian answered.
"Hey. You're awake right?"
"Hey you. Yup. Just talking to your new best friend." Edge smirked at the person sitting across from him. The person in return rolled his eyes.
"And that would be...?"
"Cena of course."
"Okay, whatever. Anyways. I just wanted to tell you that I received your millions and millions of texts you sent me last night. I already apologized last night for getting all pissy at you so you should know that I'm not mad or upset with you. Just a little annoyed, but not anymore really."
"Well, that's nice to know. You know how much I can't stand it when my little Lita is upset with me."
Lita rolled her eyes as Trish emerged from the bathroom. "Shut up. Look, I have to go so I'll talk to you later. We're still going to the arena together right?"
"Of course. Just make sure you meet me in the lobby by 3 o'clock sharp. You know how crazy DC traffic can be."
"It's just gonna be the two of us or did you invite someone else?," Lita asked.
"Well, John just asked if he could come with us because he was gonna go with Orton but uh, he decided to wake him up by throwing water on him." Edge chuckled.
"Mmm So he's just being a wimp and hiding from Orton?"
"Yes indeed he is just being a wimp." The Canadian smirked at John.
"Hey Red," John said as he grabbed the phone from his current onscreen rival, "I don't appreciate you calling me a wimp."
"That's it." Lita said as an idea popped into her head. "That could be your new nickname. Pick between jackass or wimp. Or wimpy jackass? That works."
"I don't think so."
"Doesn't matter what you think. Tell Edge I said bye." The diva said as she shut the phone.
Trish rolled her eyes as she realized her friend was talking to John. "Hey Li." Trish said as she tossed her wet towel on the bed and grabbed the brush to start brushing her hair. "Could I ask you something?"
"Yea, I need to talk to you about something too."
"Okay," Trish said as she continued to brush her blonde locks. "So you had a good time yesterday. Correct?"
Lita nodded her head as she sat down on the bed near where Trish was standing. "Yea. Surprisingly. Not that bad."
Trish put the brush down and turned around to look at the red head. "So then why did you abruptly leave? I thought we were all having fun."
"Yea. But didn't you and John want some alone time? I mean, I was a third wheel, I just wanted to give you two some privacy."
"If we wanted some privacy, I would have told you. Yesterday was about you and John getting to know one another."
"And we did. He's from Massachusetts and has a billion brothers. He's a jackass I can actually stand sometimes." Lita smirked as she continued. "I also learned he's a wimp. He threw water on Randy as a way to wake him up and now he's afraid to catch a ride with him to the arena. What else is there to know?"
"Okay then. That's great! Now you and John can continue to find new things out about one another."
"O yea, just peachy." Lita sarcastically replied.
"So you just wanted to give us some privacy?" Trish asked.
Lita thought whether or not she should say something to Trish. She decided she would just talk to Trish now instead of wait. "Yea. But um, I actually... Um, I want to talk to you about something but you have promise me you won't get upset."
Trish look confused as she looked at the Atlanta resident. "Why would I get upset?"
"I know how you are Trish but I can't just leave it. I just don't want you to get hurt."
Trish looked more confused than before. "What are you talking about?"
The high flying diva was very hesitant about what she was about to say. "Okay. So the thing is, a part of me thinks that this whole thing between you and John isn't going to end well..."
Trish interrupted Lita before she could continue any longer. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Would you let me finish before you get angry please? Hear me out first and then react or whatever."
"Fine. Continue."
"Like I was saying, I don't think your relationship with John is going to end up well because... well... I think you're gonna end up getting hurt and he's also going to end up getting hurt because... because..." Lita let out a breath as she was kind of scared of what her friends reaction would be.
Trish was starting to get annoyed. "How the hell are you going to start something and then not finish it? Will you just tell me already?!"
"Okay okay okay. I.. I think you're using John as a rebound to get over..."
"What the hell?!" Trish angrily said as she stood up and got off the bed.
Lita followed suit and got off the bed as well. "Look, maybe I shouldn't have had said something but..."
"But what?! What the hell?! Now you said something so let's finish this. How could you even think I'm using John as a way to get over Chris?"
"Because Trish. I know how much Chris hurt you when he broke up with you. I also know how much you loved and probably still love him."
"No Li. You're wrong. I don't love him and I'm not using John as a rebound."
Lita wasn't buying it. She thought Trish being defensive was a way of proving that yes, she was using the West Newbury native as a way to get over Chris Jericho. "Okay, Fine, whatever. Honestly, I felt like I couldn't just not say anything. You know how much I love you and I just don't want to see you get hurt or hurt someone else."
"Why does it matter if I hurt John? You weren't even amicable with him until yesterday because I asked for you to give him a chance."
"It doesn't matter how I feel about him. The fact is that he's human and so are you. I don't want you to get hurt and I wouldn't want another human to get hurt too."
"So you really think that I'm a vindictive bitch that I would use someone else to get over or to get back at someone else?"
"OhMYGOD! I did NOT say that! I said I just don't want to see you get hurt! I don't want to see anyone get hurt! People have emotions. You shouldn't play with them. But whatever. If you said you're not using John as a rebound then fine, you're not using him as a rebound. I only said what I thought was right. I'm not about to apologize for saying what was on my mind. Look. You don't even act like a couple when you guys are around one another."
"You never have been around us until yesterday really so how would you know?"
"Probably because whenever you were around Chris or even that creep Kevin, you guys actually looked like you were in a relationship and had some kind of feelings towards each other. I don't see that with you and John."
"Okay, fine. I have shown some PDA with Chris and Kevin but have you thought maybe John isn't comfortable with PDA?!"
"He's a guy. What guy do you know would feel uncomfortable about PDA? Maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut but..."
"Maybe you should have." Trish interrupted her before she could say anything else.
"Whatever, I didn't know you were gonna act like this. I knew you were gonna get mad but I didn't know you were gonna act like a bitch. I'm out of here."
That went well. Lita thought as she grabbed her phone and her purse and left the hotel room.
