Gianna sat at the foot of John's bed as she dipped her spoon into her pint of Ben and Jerry's "Phish Food" ice cream. She was waiting for John to get out of the shower so they could finally catch up on the past week. She was suppose to wait to he got out of the shower to eat her ice cream, but it was so irresistible. She set the pint between her legs and sighed. Gianna was so glad her and John were finally talking again. She missed having her best friend around to talk to. She told John everything and not having been to talk to him all week killed her.

Well, she told John almost everything. He didn't know what happened between her and Dwayne the night he left. He didn't know about just how much she pursued him in her early years before he broke her heart. He didn't know just why whenever she looked at Dwayne, she loved and hated him at the same time. Gianna planned on telling him before, but she didn't want to go through all that pain again. Just the memory of him walking out of that door and out of her life made her shudder.

"Chills? Probably from the ice cream you ate without waiting for me." John joked.

Gianna looked up and stopped herself from gasping when she saw John coming out of the bathroom. He had a towel around his waist and his chest was still wet from the shower. How come she never noticed how John looked before? She know thousands of women drooled over him at every event, but now she knew why. His abs seemed indented into his stomach and his arms were perfectly toned. His blue eyes drew you in against his skin and with his boyish smile. Gianna looked back down and took another bite of her ice cream. Was she crazy for noticing all this now?

"So, where is my ice cream?" John asked.

"In the freezer so it wouldn't melt." Gianna replied.

She looked back up, and John was now in basketball shorts. She grabbed his ice cream and joined Gianna on the bed where she handed him a spoon. She turned around so she was facing him at the head of the bed.

"So, how was your week sir?" Gianna asked.

"Nothing out of the ordinary. Some radio show interviews, a photo shoot for the magazine. I also met with creative to talk about Wrestlemania." John informed her.

"Oh, Wrestlemania! What did the talk about?" Gianna asked.

"Just about my match with Mike, and what Dwayne's roll is going to be during the show." John replied with a scowl.

"I know you don't like him John. But you will have to put up with him for just one more night. Then I'm sure he will disappear like he did before…" Gianna trailed off.

"You okay Gi?" John asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm glad your week went well though! I wish you would have answered me." Gianna pouted.

"Sorry. I was still pretty mad. We've never fought, did you realize that Gi? That was our first fight. It surprised me and I was really mad at you. Then I realized I was stupid at being mad at you and that was when you came into my room tonight." John told her.

"You had every right to be mad at me. I shouldn't have walked out on you like that. Promise, no more fights?" Gianna asked.

"Well, no more big fights. But promise." John promised with a smile.

Gianna smiled as she took another bite of her ice cream. She felt better knowing that her and John were back on good terms. Gianna's phone rang next to her and she looked to see who was calling. Dwayne's name read at the top, and Gianna ignored his call. John noticed this and instantly was worried.

"What's wrong Gi?" John asked.

"I don't feel like talking to him right now." Gianna told him.

"Still mad about earlier?" John asked.

"Yep. He can go have fun at his little Hollywood party and leave me here waiting for him, like always." Gianna admitted.

"Gianna…would this have anything to do with what happened between you two when he left?" John asked.

Gianna's head shot up as she looked at John. She knew he was going to ask eventually. He always had a hunch something happened with how she acted after Dwayne left. She started showing up late to events, she half-assed all her matches and started to get an attitude with the other wrestlers. She use to be a "babyface" in the WWE, but after Dwayne left and her attitude change, creative turned her into a "heel" to fit her personality. For a while, it worked. She took out her aggression out on the divas and was able to be rude to the audience and other divas without anyone caring. They thought it was just her gimmick she was playing when in reality, it was really her. Since then she softened up and wasn't as bitter, but she wasn't gaining respect or becoming any more likable in the locker room. And now John had to remind her of that fateful day when Dwayne left and when everything changed.

"Gi…what happened? I know something happened between you two. You can tell me." John told her.

"It…it was a mess." Gianna said.

"Gi. I'm your best friend." John reassured her.

Gianna looked into John's eyes and started to tear up. She had been keeping a secret from her best friend for seven years. Now, she knew she couldn't hold it in any longer.

"I instantly was drawn to him when I entered the business. I knew he was older, but he was talented and the way he spoke drew me in. I was just a kid, thinking I had a chance. So I started to talk to him by asking him for wrestling pointers. Soon, I made it a habit to see him at every event. I wanted him, and I was convinced that I could make him want me. One night, he agreed to go out with me after an event one night. I came on to him and he shot me down. It killed me, but I wasn't done fighting. He pushed me away but no matter what, I always came back. Then came his last day here…" She trailed off, trying to collect her thoughts.

The shouting in the hallway. Gianna pleading to Dwayne to just give her a chance. The look in Dwayne's eyes when she wouldn't go away. The sincereness in his voice when he said it wouldn't work. The hurt she felt when he walk out of the door, never looking back.

"Tell me Gi." John asked.

"I…I tried stopping him. I told him that we needed to be together, if he would just give me a chance…He kept telling me that it wasn't right and he knew it. When I asked him why, he said it was because I was too young for him. Not because he was married and that he had a daughter. Only because I was too young. He walked away, and didn't even look back. I was so broken…and now here I am…feeling twenty-one all over again…" Gianna trailed off before bursting into tears.

John pulled Gianna into his arms, knocking her ice cream over on the bed. John kicked it off the bed, the spilt ice cream being the least of his worries. He held her tight as she cried into his chest.

"You kept this from me for seven years Gi. Why didn't you tell me?" John asked.

"I'm embarrassed by how I acted. I was stupid and young and thought I could get a married man to leave his wife for me. I didn't want you to judge me or see me differently." Gianna confessed.

"Gi…nothing could change how I see you. You are an amazing, beautiful, talented woman who knows how to kick ass in the ring, and who will always be my best friend no matter what. Nothing can change that. Nothing." John told her.

Gianna continued to cry into John's chest. John pulled her in tighter and kissed her lightly on top of her head. Gianna wrapped her arms around him as he tried to calm her down. Within a couple minutes, Gianna stopped crying and her breathing slowed. John started to loosen his grip around her, but Gianna pulled his arms back around her. John laughed as he reached over Gianna to turn the lamp off in the room. Putting his arm around her and covering them both up in blankets, John and Gianna fell asleep in each other's arms.
