Seeing old faces can bring back a humbled past...
"Are you nervous about how everything is going to work out for you at this little meeting?" Jon asked Desiree in the shower as he was in the shower with her. The warm water poured from the shower head to the top of their heads, wetting their hairs and bodies. Desiree scrubbed herself around with her favorite purple loofa with the body wash. When Jon sneaked up on her in the shower for the first time, she freaked out entirely. It was the night after their first time having sex, and she was still shaken up about the event the night before. She didn't know how she would bring it up to Jon. She wasn't sure if he liked it or he hated it entirely, so seeing the sight of him entirely naked frightened her a bit. She'd never seen a man in that particular way nor did she ever planned to expose herself that way to any guy. So, he assured her that he really loved what transpired the night before, that he felt something that he hadn't felt in a long time and that was love.
Desiree turned around to look at Jon's face, even though that her hair was covering her eyes, "I'm a tiny bit nervous. Hunter and Stephanie just want what's best for business—that quote is so old, but I'm hoping to say the right things and not get them to hate me," Desiree turned around and picked up a shampoo and gave it to Jon, "Shampoo me," she commanded and Jon knew what to do, "The WWE has been getting back on track as of late, especially with the new stars and Joe being WWE World Heavyweight Champion. I feel like I am going to need to do things that will make him look good. I don't want to make anyone look bad. I don't want to make you look bad or I don't want our relationship to be the reason for your future success."
Jon placed the shampoo to his hands and lathered it on Des' light brown hair, making sure that he got all the areas on her hair, "You're not going to make anyone look bad. You're part of the WWE Board of Directors. Just don't let them manipulate you into agreeing to do something that you don't think is the right thing to agree upon. You're a smart woman and I know that you will make the right decisions." he encouraged her, like a supportive boyfriend would. Even though he believed that the people in the WWE Board of Directors were a bunch of scum, she knew that she wouldn't let them be manipulated by them. He finished lathering her hair with shampoo as Desiree rinsed off the shampoo out of her hair.
"I just don't want our relationship to be affected because of this new position. I just want to be a good girlfriend and do the best I can to not only be that, but a good working woman as well. I know that you're not all thrilled about my new position, but I just want you to know that you're always number one in my life and maybe when my hearts in it, you can pop the question down the road," the thought of Des being open about a proposal made Jon happy. He wants her to be as happy as he is whenever he's with her, "Conditioner." she told him, handing him the conditioner bottle.
Jon put a dime size amount of conditioner on the palm of his hands, rubbed it and applied it to her hair, "The proposal can wait, let's just get you back to work. Besides, I haven't thought of a setting for when I plan to propose to you. I just want it to be right. It has to be the right setting, time moment. I just need to feel it! You'll never see your proposal coming." he claimed with a smirk on his face as Desiree giggled.
"I'll never see it coming?" she asked him, chiming along to whatever game he's playing.
"You'll never see it coming, Desiree. I just got one question to ask you," slowly, he began getting to one knee and that's when Desiree's heart fluttered. Was this going to be the moment that she would call herself an engaged woman? Wait! Did she really want to get married, even with that voice on her head that tells her that all that spark that she has with Jon will disappear from her life forever? Does she want her and Jon to result to divorce if all of this goes bad? Jon looked at her with her blue eyes and wet hair.
This moment was coming.
"Desiree, will you…apply shampoo on my gorgeous brown locks?" Jon popped that one question that was on his mind. Desiree giggled as he saw Jon holding up his own shampoo bottle specifically for his hair type.
"I'd thought you never ask."
Jon and Desiree entered the arena nervously. This would be the first time that they would enter a WWE arena as boyfriend and girlfriend. Never did they go back to the arena that night when he professed his love to her. After their romantic kiss, Jon drove her and Dustin to the airport and said goodbye to Desiree. Two weeks later, when she was in Philly, he visited her and they went on their first date—they saw Frozen, which made them break out into song after the movie was over. Jon had kept his relationship private from the WWE locker room. The only ones that knew about their relationship was Colby Lopez, Joe Anoa'i, Randy Orton and JoJo Offerman. It wasn't that he was hiding their relationship, but he hated for everyone to know about his personal life.
"Wow! This place has changed from the last time that I've been here. I've seen that the some of that talent that were in NXT are now on the main roster like Paige, Adrian Neville, Bo Dallas, Corey Graves, and Sasha Banks. It's so crazy, seeing them go from NXT to the main roster. There are less and less guys that I knew from my intern days. I like seeing new faces." Desiree smiled as Jon smiled back.
"I prefer seeing the old faces."
Desiree and Jon turned around as Desiree beamed a smile at the man that she hadn't seen since Darwin's wedding, Colby Lopez. She ran to Colby and gave him a giant hug, "Colby! I have missed you so much. I am so sorry for not keeping in touch with you and emailing you back, but I've been busy as of late with trying to get a job and all that stuff. I've seen you wrestle and you've been one hell of a main eventer! I'm told you that creative will have something for you!" she punched Colby on the arm gently as he chuckled.
"It's fine. I've been busy as of late. How have you and Jon been? He says things are frisky between the two of you—is that true?" Colby said it so playfully seductive. Was that supposed to be an inappropriate comment that she wasn't quick on her feet to catch? Desiree thought about what Colby said.
"Frisky, Jon? Really? Any word in the English dictionary and you choose frisky?" Desiree couldn't believe that Jon used that word to describe their relationship with Colby. Damn it Colby, always wanting to know about their love lives. He must always have something over the woman that was once a teenager intern.
"Would you have loved me to use a much colorful word like," Jon paused as he thought of a word to replace frisky, "Frolicsome," there was something about the word that made Desiree think of the word in a sexual way. It freaked her out, but she was surprised that Jon had a wider range of vocabulary than she originally thought. Jon got closer to his girlfriend and whispered to her ear, "Would you have liked me to use the world frolicsome?"
"On a second thought, frisky just became a better word to describe our relationship." Desiree concluded as both men laughed at her comment. The innocence that she still had left inside her was always an amusement to anyone that would have a conversation with her.
"I've always been disturbed about the two you guys comments."
The two former Shield members and intern turned around to find Joe Anoa'i standing there with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder. As the face of this company, he hasn't been having the time to talk to his former Shield buddies about life. He's been focused doing media, which are the flaws of being a champion. It was nice that every T.V. talk show wanted to interview him. For example, Desiree watched him on Live! With Kelly and Michael, where he was talking about WrestleMania XXXV, which was going to be in London, England at the Wembley Arena. The same country where Jon and Desiree had their first kiss. Even though England in the U.S. had major time differences like it would be Monday for England, when WrestleMania is live, but these WWE fans are the best and are willing to stay up to watch the show.
"Joe!" Desiree almost tackled him to the floor in an attempt to hug him.
She hadn't seen Joe in the same amount of time that she hadn't seen Colby. Joe gave her one of his bear hugs, which were strong enough to squeeze her. Before he could squeeze her body in half, he released her, "Desiree Harper, long time no see. I apologize for not responding to your emails. Ever since becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion, my schedule has been hectic. Lots and lots of traveling, but I've been meaning to respond to you just to say what's up and stuff. How have you and Jon been?" he asked with a smile on his face.
"Frisk—"Desiree elbowed Jon harshly on the ribs, knowing what certain word was going to come out of his mouth. Jon yelped in pain, underestimating the strength of his girlfriend, "Just peachy," he looked back at Des, who had a smirk on her face, "Got anything against the word peachy?" he asked her in an angry tone as she shook her head.
"Nope," she gave the nope that same way that Jon said it in his first interview in the main roster, "Peachy is just a lovely word," she grinned all proud of him, before turning his attention to Joe, "No worries about the emails, Colby has been busy as well and I've been focusing on trying to move in with Jon and getting a job. That's why I'm here. I got offered a job." she announced as Colby and Joe looked surprised at one another; did she get a job here?
"You mean like a job in the WWE?" Colby asked, wanting to know whether to congratulate her yet or not.
"Yeah, as a Board of Directors member. I mean, it's a big position and it pays well, which is good for the future. So, you might see me around with Stephanie or Hunter, maybe Mark and Jane from management. Jon has known for so long that I've been dying for a position back in the WWE and this could be my position to come back and see all the wrestling and what has changed about it." Desiree explained, sounding so excited.
"Wow! Congratulations! I hope to see you around here. I'd be like the four of us again. Just like good times," Joe grinned, happy about the news that was given to him, "I mean, there are some things that I want to talk to you about Amber and mine's wedding. Just having a female perspective around might help me say the right things. Besides, I don't think that Cena and Orton are the best people to talk about women to, knowing how their marriages ended."
"Do you think that you can separate yourself from Cena and Orton?" Colby asked, knowing that ever since Joe became WWE World Heavyweight Champion that John Cena and Randy Orton have been talking to him nonstop. They have been inviting him to the coolest bars, restaurants, and making him buy the coolest jet and fast cars. Due to him hanging with Cena and Orton, he has been ditching him and Jon, but hoping with Des around that he would hang around them a lot more.
"I don't need Cena and Orton's permission to hang out with you guys. Just looking at Desiree is bring me back to those humbled days of mine. If you care to know, I like hanging out with you guys than I do with those other two, but anything to get to the top of the WWE, right?" Joe shrugged his shoulders with a smirk.
"Well, at least try too. I think we can arrange something for us to talk. I'll let my people contact your people." Desiree smirked as Jon slugged an arm over his shoulder, unexpectedly.
"I'm her people," Jon informed the two other men, and then looked back at her, "Ms. Harper, I think we better get going, before you're late for your appointment." he gestured for her to walk ahead of him as she did.
"Well, it was nice seeing the two of you." she smiled.
"Won't be the last time we cross paths." Colby responded, and that was the truth.
So, who missed Colby and Joe? I know I did! :) Thank you to: SoftballSass143, justkimmy, Guest, Dixiewinxwrites12, DeeMarie426, emma, Ronnie Leigh and JINX1824 for your reviews! Please favorite, follow and review! :)
