Liz was in the kitchen making breakfast for her and John. He was in the bathtub, getting clean. She laughed to herself thinking about how she got him in there.
"I feel so dirty though," John wined as he sat on the edge of bathtub. "Sitting in your own filth is disgusting. And why am I wearing my swimming trunks?"
"I didn't know you were like that Mr.Cena" Liz replied opening the faucet to let the water run into the bathtub. She felt it to make sure it was a little hotter than she would like. It would help soothe his aching muscles.
"Are you just a shy girl Miss Gartens? Because the human body is nothing to be ashamed of!" he stated grabbing her by her hips and slowly running his hands down her legs. She felt herself blush a bit but held her composure.
"No, I just wouldn't want you to embarrass yourself!" she replied back taking his hands off of her and placing them on his lap. "As much as I would love to continue this lovely game were playing, I'm hungry and you need a bath! So if you no longer need my assistance, I will help you into the tub and go and make you some breakfast, okay?"
He looked and her and smiled. As much as she was trying to be serious, he saw the hint of playfulness in her eye. They both knew that he could over power her in a second but he would never do that, he far too much enjoyed their flirtatious game. He moved over a little bit more into the tub and slowly sank into the hot water, leaving his one leg out of the water. It felt so good! He laid back and closed his eyes and just relaxed.
"Well you enjoy yourself and I'll be back in about 20 minutes okay?" she looked down at him and saw him nod his head. She walked to the doorway but looked back once again. "Damn" was all she said inside of her head. He did have an amazing body!
"Like what you see Liz?" John said snapping her out of her trance. She smiled and left the room. He smirked and grabbed the wash cloth.
As hard as she tried she couldn't get the smile off her face. He did have an amazing body and a great personality and he was just perfect for her. But she had to keep her distance from him. He may seem perfect for now but later, he will turn on her. She finished putting the pancakes and bacon in the over to keep them warm and went to check on John. When she came into the bathroom, he was already in his wheelchair with a towel around his waist and ready to go gets changed in his room.
"I see you no longer need my assistance in this area." She said standing back a bit to let him get in his room.
"Well, I didn't think it would be beneficial for either of us because, if see any more of me without my shirt on, your going to jump me and I don't think I have enough strength yet to have sex with you." He playfully replied.
"You know even if wanted to have sex with you, which I don't, you can't have sex until you start walking again," she replied closing the door behind him so he could get changed. She sat at the breakfast table for about 2 minutes until he wheeled himself into the kitchen and sat across from her.
"What do you mean, I can't have sex until I walk again? Is this some kinda rewarding challenge thing again?" he sternly asked.
"No, this is actually a physical thing. When Edge busted up your leg, he hurt all the muscles in it. The pain medication is just there to dull the pain, but something like sex where your moving around a lot, will tear the muscles that your trying to heal. Once you know that you can walk again, it means that the muscles have healed and they can handle strain on them," she calmly replied.
"Well, how soon can I start walking again?" he eagerly asked.
"The soonest I've even heard was 5 weeks but you might be around 7-8 weeks." She replied again, getting up from her chair to grab his empty cup. She grabbed the orange juice and filled it up. "So you'll just have to tell your little girlfriends that your going to be out of commission for a little while."
He was about to talk when the phone rang. Liz went and grabbed it and answered it.
"Hello?……Ya he's right here can I ask who's calling?" she handed John the phone and mouthed "Randy" to him. He nodded and smiled. She left him in the kitchen to talk to his friend. She sat in the living room and turned on the TV. A commercial came on for WWE Raw and the preview of what was going on tonight. Edge was going on about how he ended John Cena's career and how he would remain the WWE Champion for a long time. Then Randy Orton came on and kicked Edge's ass and said they would have a match tonight. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw John watching the TV like she was and saw the expression on his face. He was hurt but kept a serious look on his face as to not show that he was hurting, not like she couldn't tell.
"That was Randy who just called," he said breaking the silence. "They are in town tonight and he wanted to come over and visit me for an hour,"
"Oh that's so nice of him wanting to come visit you when he's so busy." She replied warmingly.
"He also wants to meet you,"
"Me? Why does he want to meet me?" she asked shockingly
"Well, I told him that you were a big fan of his and that you were cute so he definitely couldn't pass this up."
"How did you know that I was a fan of his?"
"I asked your sister in the hospital who your favorites are, and apart from me, she said that Randy Orton, Batista and Rey were your favorites."
"Why did you tell him I was cute?"
"Well you are," he said with a blush.
"You know you and your charm are going to get you into big trouble one day," she replied getting up off the couch and heading upstairs.
"What are you doing?" he asked wheeling more to the staircase.
"Changing into a better outfit than this, can't let him see me look like a slob!" she replied running into her room. He smiled and went back in front of the TV to catch some football news.
Liz and John were on the couch, he was sitting in his chair, his shorts rolled up a bit, he swabbing an area to administer his pain meds. A voice was then heard through the house that scared the crap out of both of them.
"Hello? John?" came the voice from the front door. The body walked in and saw the two of them near the couch. "Did I come at a bad time?"
"No Randy, come in I'm just getting my meds right now," he winced in pain as she put the needle in. Randy slowly came in as she finished up. She placed the needle in the appropriate garbage and put everything back in her case. She turned around to meet Randy right behind her.
"You must be Randy Ortons, I'm Lizabeth Gartens, " she replied putting her hand out. He gently took and shook it. He smiled at her and she smiled back.
"I hear you're a big fan of me?" He said. She blushed a little and grabbed the bag off the floor.
"I'll leave you two to catch up a bit, I'll just clean up your room John," she replied heading into that direction. Randy went up to his friend and gave him a big hug. He then sat down on the couch and said "You were wrong about her being cute man,"
"What?" John replied shocked.
"She's gorgeous, how on earth did you land her?"
"Her sister was my nurse in the hospital. Worked it so that Liz would be my at home nurse and well the rest is history."
"Nice. Maybe I should break a few bones after you and then I can live with her for a few months."
"Well your going to be waiting awhile cause I get her for at least a year!"
"Did anything happen cause I notice some tension between you two?"
"No, just me and her have this flirtatious game between us. I think I may be taking it a little to far since she's backing away a little now."
"So do you like her then?"
"I have a little thing for her but nothing crazy. She's beautiful and smart and absolutely perfect but I have to live with her for a year so I don't want to come on to strong just yet, just incase that things don't work out between us."
"So you're planning on asking her out?"
"Well, I hope to eventually but I want to wait till we can actually go out, cause nothing spells romance quite like a sponge bath and pain medication." They both laughed at John's little comment and then it got silent again.
"So what's new at the old job?" John asked looking at the floor.
"Do you really want to hear this John, cause your not going to like it." Randy begged.
"I'm going to find out tonight anyway so I might as well hear it from my one friend who I trust"
"Edge played the entire thing off like it was an accident and that him and Lita were trying to keep in character. Vince can't just suspend him or fire him unless he has proof so he's quietly looking into things. Vince is going to come talk to you soon about all this and see what may have cause Edge to go over board." Randy said calmly and concerned. "Do you know why Adam and Amy would do such a thing?"
"To tell you the honest truth, I have no idea. I know Adam was always jealous of me because he has put so many years into this and me I'm like the rookie of the bunch. But I never thought that he would go this far. Him and me seemed to be decent towards one another lately. I don't know how this all happened," John replied.
"Well maybe it was supposed to happen so you could meet Miss Lizzie over there. She definitely seems worth all of this."
"Are you in love with her now?" John asked.
"Well if you don't make a move on her soon, then I sure will!" Randy replied. They both laughed some more and reminisced about everything that's happened over the past week.
John and Liz were sitting on the couch, John lying on Liz's lap as his leg was propped up but the end of the couch. Liz was eating the popcorn off the bowl that was sitting on his stomach. "If someone were to walk in on them, they would definitely think they were a couple", John thought. He kinda like being close to her likes this. They were watching Raw right now. Liz begged John to not watch it because she didn't want him to feel hurt by it but he had to be strong and brave and knew he could handle this. During a commercial, John looked up to see Liz. She had such beautiful features but it was her lips that he was most intrigued by. They were so perfect and just begged to be kissed. Liz looked down and caught John looking at her. She smiled and asked him what he was looking at her for.
"What do you think of me?" he said looking into her eyes. His mother had always told him that you could tell a person's emotions by the look in their eyes. She blushed and looked at the TV. He gently placed his hand on her face and moved it back to look into her eyes. "What do you think of me?"
"Your crazy and cute but very stubborn and your quite the little charmer but still very crazy," she replied.
"Do you like me?" he asked.
"Of course I like you, as a friend," she replied. His face dropped a little but saw her eyes, they were not looking at him like they usually do. He may only have known her for a few days but she would always look into his eyes when they were talking.
"Good," he replied looking back at the TV to their show that was back on. She continued looking at him and for some reason felt uncomfortable with his answer. She felt very close to him, but only liked him as a friend. Perhaps if they had met another way, things could have worked differently but for now, this was their situation, even if she didn't like entirely.
