Sherri had been living with John for two months. He'd just spent the last month on a movie set. He and Sherri had spoken every day he was gone. It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when John walked through the door. Sherri was sitting on the couch going over a soap opera script.
"Honey, I'm home." He said jokingly.
She laughed. "Welcome home dear." She said jokingly.
"What are you doing?"
"Just going over this script."
"How was your flight?"
"Fine."
"Dinner tonight?"
"Sure."
"We'll go to that place we like."
"Can you get us a table on such short notice?"
"I made us a reservation two days ago."
"Cool." "After I get done with this script, I'm gonna get on Twitter and say how much I missed my love." She said smiling at John.
"I'm gonna go take a nap." "We'll get ready to go when I get up."
"Alright."
A few hours later Sherri was getting ready. John was walking by her room.
"John."
"Yeah?" He said stopping.
"Can you help me with my necklace?"
"Yeah." He went into the room and got behind her. She held up her hair. "You look nice."
"Thanks so do you.""
"This is a pretty necklace." It was the necklace John had given her for her birthday. "I wonder who gave it to you." He said smirking.
"My boss, oh I'm sorry I meant my boyfriend." She said laughing.
"What's that you have on?" "You smell like vanilla."
"It's a new lotion."
"I like it." "It smells really good."
They were at the restaurant.
"Are you excited about WrestleMania?" Sherri asked.
"Yeah, I can't wait to get back in the ring."
"That's next month right?"
"Yeah."
"It'll be fun."
They just gotten home from the restaurant. It was a warm clear night. Sherri and John weren't drunk but they were a little buzzed.
"Do you wanna go for a swim Sherri?" John asked.
"Sure."
"Would you like some wine?"
"Yeah."
"I'll open a bottle."
Sherri got downstairs first. She was in the pool. John came out about five minutes later.
"How's the water?" He asked holding a bottle of wine and two sat down at the edge of the pool pouring two glasses. She swam over to him. "Here you go." He said handing her a glass.
"Thanks." They each took a sip and put their glasses down. John got in water.
"You're right it is pretty great." "Hey Sherri."
"What?" He splashed her. She screamed. "That's it." They took turns splashing each other and laughing for a few minutes. They stopped.
"I'm glad to be home." John said.
"I'm glad you're home to." "I kind of missed you."
"Yeah?" "Well I kind of missed you to."
"Really?" She said smiling.
"Yeah." He drifted closer to her lips.
"I want you to but we can't." She thought. "I've never slept with a boss and I'm not starting now." She pulled away at the last second.
"What?"
"I've gotta go."
"Don't."
"Goodnight John." She got out of the pool and went inside.
