(A/N: GUESS WHAT PEOPLE?! READ THIS! I updated! This previous saturday night i got in a really bad car accident. These fckers were speeding (about 50mph!) and hit me and sent my car spinning. I was so scared. When they hit me i was practically body slammed into my door (i was by myself) and then my car stopped spinning and i smelt something burning and i saw alot of smoke around my car and i knew that those fckers had hit my gas tank so i tried to open my door and climb out but IT WAS STUCK! i thought that i was going to die in flames! AHHH!!! so i crawled to the passenger side and i still couldn't get out and my body was hurting so bad but i realized my seat belt was holding me back so i pressed the button and i felt out of my car onto the pavement and just laid there until an ambulance came which took a really really long time!... So now i am out of school and my job until the 26th, if not longer... I'm in a neck brace and my knee is in a brace, and i am on serious pain killers (loving the pain killers lol) and my older sister has came to my house to help me and pamper me. (thank god cause i can barely fckin walk! And i know when it's time to take my meddies cause the pain comes back like a bitch) So yeah im dozing in and out most of the day, but when i'm awake I WRITE! i usually end up falling asleep in the middle of my train of thought, lol... okay enough about me and my near death experience...

John sat down next to Maria on the sofa and stared at her; his heart was beating a mile a minute and he was more than anxious to hear her answer. Maria stayed silent for a few moments and just looked away. "Uhh maybe we should call Vince." Maria said slipping away from the question that was at hand.

The frown that fell over John's face went unnoticed by Maria. "Good Idea." He said as enthusiastically as possible while he took out his cell phone and dialed Vince's cell phone and put the call on speakerphone. After ringing, a few times Vince picked up.

"Vince McMahon." Vince answered the phone.

"Vince… It's me John." John stated.

"What happened is everything okay? Where's Maria is she alright?" Vince belted in a panicked tone.

"Well Maria is not okay…. When we were getting off your jet I skipped a step by accident and tripped and when I tripped I stepped on the back of Maria's flip flop and she started to fall and so she grabbed onto the railing to stop herself and I grabbed for her too and she spun around facing me but I was still on her shoe so her ankle twisted and snapped… the limo driver you hired was a jerk; he wouldn't take Maria to an emergency room right away because we had to go to the signing first, and Maria's ankle started to swell up like a balloon. After the signing, we immediately went to the emergency room and Maria got an X-ray and the doctor said that she has a micro- crack… But trust me it sounds worse than what it is. A micro crack is just a tiny crack in the bone, the doctor said it heals quickly and will take like five weeks, or six at the most. He gave Maria pain killers that she has to take every four hours and she has to ice it every two hours except for when she sleeps. But when she sleeps, she has to elevate it on a pillow." John explained to Vince.

"Well I don't want her on pain killers…I want her to take Bayer aspirin. Now I want you to stay on the line while I three way the staff physician." Vince said and made a three way call.

"Benny Credelin speaking." Benny picked up his phone.

"Yeah it's me Benny, and John Cena is on the phone and something happened to Maria's ankle, John's going to tell you what happened and I want you to tell them what to do." Vince told Benny.

(Three minutes later)

John had retold the story to Benny. "Can I speak to Maria?" Benny asked.

"I'm right here." Maria answered because the phone was on speaker.

"Now Maria… how does it feel when you first twisted it?" Benny inquired.

"Well at first I didn't fell anything it was num, then after John got off of my flip flop and my foot went back into it's normal place, the pain rushed into it and it hurt terribly; and I felt this immense aching." Maria described and shuttered.

"Uh huh… Have you started the pain killers?" Benny asked.

"No I didn't want to take them until Vince told me whether I could or couldn't… The only thing that I've done that the doctor told me to do was ice my ankle." Maria told Benny.

"And how does it feel now?" Benny inquired.

"It still hurts really bad… It's still aching, and when I move it, it hurts even worse there's a throbbing sensation." Maria explained.

"Okay well do everything the doctor told you about the icing and the elevation, but take Bayer aspirin every three hours. And stay off the ankle. Use crutches" Benny told Maria.

"Okay no problem. The hospital already gave me some." Maria told Benny.

"Alright well I'm going to go… If that's alright with you Vince?" Benny asked.

"Yeah its fine, thanks Ben." Vince said and hung up on Benny.

"So now that we have that out of the way, I just wanted to tell you guys that you're doing a good job, I don't know if the two of you are aware of this, but you guys have internet fan mail with pictures of you two kissing at yesterday's autograph signing. Way tah go! Keep up the great job, and feel better Maria. Oh, by the way…You two are getting raises for such a superb job. Now I have to go to a board meeting, but Maria just call me if you need anything at all… Now Mr. Cena I believe you have a signing scheduled soon, and tomorrow the two of you have a photo shoot together at 2:00pm. Maria I think you can swing that, but you will be out of the ring until your ankle is fully healed. And we will meet up in Atlanta day after tomorrow… By the way I'm firing that limo driver now and I will have another one outside in ten minutes." Vince told John who smiled.

'Thanks Vince!" John and Maria said.

"No problem you two. See you soon." Vince said and hung up the phone.

"JOHN WE'RE GETTING RAISES!" Maria said and hugged John excitedly.

"Yeah I know, see how good we are together? Now I have some Bayer aspirin in my bag so I'm going to go get it and get you a glass of water." John said and took the painkillers out of his pocket and absentmindedly threw him in his suitcase when he went into it to get the Bayer aspirin. John got Maria the two aspirin pills and a glass of water. Maria took the pills graciously as John put a pillow on the coffee table for her ankle.

"Now remember when you want to go to sleep put your leg on the pillow Ria." John told her.

"Okie Dokie" Maria said and yawned.

"So after I get done, how about I pick up some pizza, ice cream, and movies and just hang out?" John asked Maria.

"Sure that sounds great. But maybe I can have a salad, because with not being able to work out and eating that, I'll turn into a whale; so maybe a chicken salad and cookie dough ice cream extra fudge…" Maria exclaimed.

"Okay no problem" John said making a mental note of what Maria wanted. He got up from the sofa and turned around to leave, "Did you kiss Brad?" John asked randomly with a hint of jealousy in his voice as he turned around to face her,

"WHAT?!" Maria asked shocked with a laugh behind her reply.

"He had said thanks for the kiss." John explained.

"No silly, when I signed his autograph, I put a lip gloss kiss on it. That way his friends would believe him." Maria told John.

"Ohhh…." John said still a little jealous.

"Why?" Maria asked.

"I don't know…" John told Maria.

"If you didn't have a reason, then you wouldn't have asked." Maria answered sassily.

"I don't know I guess it kind of annoyed me." John admitted shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Why?" Maria inquired further with a chuckle.

"Because we're supposed to be "together" and I guess it's getting to my head a little." John said half truthfully with a shrug.

"Awww John! That is so cute. It's like a little fairytale." Maria said with a chuckle as John's face turned a pale crimson color. 'Getting to your head a little? I hope it gets to it a lot and overloads your brain so you really think we're together!' Maria thought to herself with a laugh knowing that it would never happen.

"So since we're being honest…. How was I making you nervous?" John asked once again still dying to know the Diva's answer.

"Well… you make me nervous sometimes…" Maria told him with a shrug as the spotlight was now on her once again.

"Yeah, but how?" John asked.

"Can I be honest with you? Like totally honest?" Maria asked turning towards him and clasping her hands together. John nodded and sat down.

'Do it Maria… Do it! DO IT! No I can't!' Maria's good side and bad side were at war.

"You're intimidating, I mean, you make me shy. And I'm usually outgoing and everything but you shut me up, literally. There is just something about you that makes me speechless, not all the time but just sometimes. Whenever you're close I can't think straight, and when you are close, I can't talk. You get me tongue tied; maybe it's cause of your good looks I guess." Maria told him with a smile adding on the compliment of his looks to cover up how she really felt about him.

"What can I say? I tend to have that effect on people." John said cockily with a shrug and a laugh. Maria playfully slapped his arm.

"Happy with my answer?" Maria asked with a smirk as she crossed her arms.

"I'm satisfied… For now." John said and lifted one eyebrow as he glared at her. 'So I do have an effect on her; even if it's very small and insignificant it's something. At least it's something.' John thought to himself with a smile. Maria did not know whether to interpret his comment as a joke, or him being serious, or him flirting with her. She just smiled at him adoringly and John rolled his eyes at her sarcasm although he found it to be amusing, just another quality he liked about her.

"Ok, I'm going to go, I shouldn't be gone too long, I'll be back. Call me if you need anything Ria." John said and pecked her cheek. Maria grabbed the remote and turned on the TV and began channel surfing.

"It's gonna be a long afternoon." Maria thought and settled further back into the sofa.

(During the signing)

John was at the signing, but only physically, his mind was wandering. He was signing, talking, taking pictures, and smiling but All he could think about was Maria, and how truly unsatisfying her answer was. 'What the hell is she supposed to do? Tell me she likes me and wants me to leave Torrie for her? Ask me to be friends with benefits. Why do I keep thinking like this, why do I want her to say these things? What is wrong with me? At least she acknowledges me enough to say that I actually have an effect on her. Maybe she likes me too… Too? Wait, I never said I liked her. Do I like her? I do like her. Don't I? Of course you do, she is wonderful. No! No no no no no! I'm taken. Taken by Torrie… Torrie... Torrie. I haven't seen her in a while, but strangely enough, I don't miss her, at all. That is bad, of course, it is bad. We have been together for 8 months. I should be bawling my eyes out. I should be moping around and texting her all day. But I'm not, and I don't want to. I don't really want to go back on the same road schedule with everyone else. I would much rather stay with Maria for the rest of our careers and spend our time together promoting our fake relationship. FAKE, here I go again; what the hell is wrong with me lately? It's only because she has been around lately so we are bonding nicely. Bonding… Nicely… Nice bond… We bond nicely… WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH ME?! John screamed inside his head mentally slapping himself. I wonder what she is doing right now; I wonder what she is watching. Is she sleeping? She looks gorgeous when she sleeps. I cannot believe I did that to her ankle. I cannot believe I did that to her ankle. I killed her ankle. Her ankle is dead, gone, buried. Not amputated but temporarily out of commission in the ring. I owe her, and I owe her big time. I wonder what time this thing is over I just want to see her and have a good time tonight. A nice fun time, because she's so fun. That's what she is, fun. Fun equals Ria. Ria equals Fun. Torrie equals Terrible. WHAT THE FUCK AM I THINKING?! John shouted again inside his head furious with the negative thoughts he was having about his girlfriend.

(A few hours later)

John held a bag of take out in one hand with Maria's chicken salad inside. The other was their ice cream. To his surprise, when he came in Maria was wide-awake talking on the phone.

"Hey." John said walking into her room through the connecting doorway. He continued into her mini kitchen and put the ice cream in the freezer.

"Hey! Ash I will talk to you tomorrow kay? Love ya too! I will. I WILL… I promise! Okay goodnight ashes" Maria said and hung up the phone.

"You promise what?" John asked with a smile sitting down next to her.

'Not to jump on top of you and rip your clothes off and do what I've wanted to do for the past ten months.' "Oh stay off my ankle." Maria told him with a grin.

"Yeah you better. Okay so here is your chicken salad, and I was thinking we would rent a movie through the hotel? John asked Maria.

"Sure why not!" Maria said excitedly. She looked at John open his food and saw the delicious looking steak sitting inside. She watched John cut the steak in amazement, she wanted to taste it so badly, and the smell was mouth watering. He saw Maria eyeing his food with a longing stare. John cut a piece of the steak off and stabbed it with his fork. He brought the fork up and surprised Maria by sticking it in front of her face. Maria grinned and scarfed down the delectable meat.

"John Cena you bring out the worst in me!" Maria said with a loud laugh as she chewed the savory steak.

"Really? Well I like seeing your bad side then." John told her flirtingly. Maria smiled and picked up the remote. The pair decided on renting Spider Man 3.

After they finished eating, John paused the movie and threw away their food. John sat back down next to Maria and shocked himself by putting his arm around her and pulling him close. What surprised him even more was the fact that she let him, not only let him, but looked up into his eyes and smiled at him reassuringly before looking back at the TV. John took a leap of faith and bent down kissing the top of her head slowly. Maria snuggled closer to him and rested herself in the warm nook of his arm with her head resting on his broad chest. The moment was romantic, perfect, memorable, and unforgettable...Until Torrie called.

Maria smirked when she heard the ring tone John had set for Torrie which was an old annoying woman saying "C'mon pick up the phone! Where are you?! Why are you ignoring me?! Pick up the phone will ya?! C'mon, ya pissin me off! Pick up the phone will ya? C'mon pick up the phone!" John finally flipped open the phone with more of an attitude than he should have had.

"Yes Torrie, what do you want?" John asked agitatedly. Maria could not help but elbow him lightly for his rude demeanor; John looked at her and shrugged.

"I was sleeping, that's something normal people do when they've had a long day. They sleep. They sleep so they're not cranky like some other certain people in the world." John spoke harshly to his girlfriend.

"Well can I go back to sleep? Or are you not done biting my ear off?" John asked rudely. He furrowed his eyebrows when he didn't receive a response; "Hello? Helllooo" John looked at the phone and realized that Torrie had hung up in his face. Maria frowned at the upset expression that washed onto John's face.

"Sometimes, I wish she wasn't such a stuck up bitch." John said and threw his phone on the carpeted floor.

Maria rubbed John's broad chest soothingly and softly stroked his hair with her other hand. "John, don't focus on her. Let's enjoy ourselves and relax. Stress free. No more phone calls. Just the two of us." Maria said wanting him to get the hint but assuming he would not.

"Just the two of us." He responded nodding his head and loving the sound of it. He pulled her closer to him and relaxed into her soft touches.
