(A/N: "AAAAANNNNDDD THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!" The photo shoot. Okay I understand that this chapter is really long, but I had two options, either leave it this long or cut it in half. If I cut it in half, then all of you would be waiting for more of the good stuff and you would be stuck until the next update and since its THANKSGIVING (that is when I am editing this), I AM FEELING GENEROUS! So anyways, I really am happy that Jericho is back but I am hoping that Randy retains his title because every time he gets a belt they never let him keep it for long :-( Also, thanks to everyone who added my story to their favs/alerts and reviewed! As always, it is what makes me get these updates out so fast so big thanks to: xAttitudexLULUCENA7cenazlilbabeethugJClvr and MariaCenaFan The reviews are highly appreciated so keep em' comin'. Now for the recommended reading, I suggest all of you read "Symphony Of The Stars" Which is the sequel to "Addicted to you" (I highly recommend both stories but read addicted to you first!) and both outstanding stories are by Chain Gang Princess. Now moving on… when I promise something, I do deliver... And in this chapter, I definitely did deliver. The chapter is lengthy and the details seem unimportant and useless, but there was no way for me to get John and Maria to the point I needed them at, in this chapter without going into depth on the details of the shoots, i.e Maria's posing, and the OC character in this chapter. She will be popping in when needed, she is not important; the only thing she will be doing is giving Maria some much-needed advice... So read, Review, and as always ENJOY!)
(A few hours later in the limo)
John and Maria were in the limo on their way to the studio for their photo shoot. The pictures from the shoot would be put in the upcoming edition of Raw magazine, and others would be put on the company's website promoting the couple. Maria had her injured foot in his lap as usual and he was rubbing her ankle, the swelling had subsided. Maria played with the rubber on her crutches in silence.
"Ria that massage made me feel like a million bucks." John admitted with a content sigh.
"I'm glad I could help." Maria told him with an accomplished grin.
"So I can come to you when I need a massage from now on?" John asked with a flirty tone matched by a bright smile.
"Of course." Maria told him running her hand over his head smoothing his short hair.
"Yah know what's so cool about you Ria?" John asked the WWE Diva who sipped on her bottle of vitamin water.
"Everything." Maria answered with a large grin.
"Of course, but specifically." John elaborated with a smile.
"No I don't know John, why don't you enlighten me." Maria said turning fully towards him and leaning the side of her face on the back of the smooth leather seat.
"Look at what you're wearing. You are wearing a tank top and sweats to a photo shoot. And I think that it is something so cool to see a Diva do; actually, it is something that I have never seen a diva do. I mean whenever I had to do shoots with Diva's or I have been to Diva shoots they go all dressed up with pounds of make-up on. And I think it's ridiculous because when they get to the shoot, they have to take all of it off anyway, and get their hair washed because they put too much gook in it and they have to get their make-up redone. They are worked up over nothing; but you, you are so down to earth and natural, you are just a really chill girl. I love that about you Ria." John admonished as Maria smiled genuinely and looked at the water bottle that lay in her lap. A few strands of hair hung over her face.
"Thanks, I remember when I first started, Melina called me shabby because I dressed comfortably. That made me feel so stupid, but I knew that if I started acting like her it would only make me hate myself." Maria revealed to John.
"Ria, none of those girls can measure up to you. So don't let them get to you, they can say whatever they want it's no shit off your shoulders. They're just haters because they know you're a threat and they see you as competition." John informed Maria who looked at them shocked.
Maria wondered if John was including Torrie when he said that none of the Diva's could measure up to her. "You cannot be serious John. I'm no threat to those girls, if anything they're a threat to me." Maria admitted her feelings.
"You're not lookin' at the big picture here Ria. Everyone loves you, when you come out to the ring, or on the titantron for interviews, or come out with the kiss cam the crowd goes wild. You are insecure about your ring experience, which can be changed. But the Diva's that talk down to you, they cannot make the crowd like them. Look at Jillian Hall, it doesn't matter what she does at this point, she looks like a transvestite and the crowd hates her. Melina is a whore who seduced Dave into cheating on his cancer sick wife, everyone knows about that now too, thanks to Dave's book, things like that are career breakers. But you Maria, what you have is a career maker. And what you have is your natural, down to earth, wholesome, and loveable personality. Those Diva's would kill for that, because that means more air time, which means more spotlight, which means title shot, which means more money, fame, and glory. They know you have that in your reach; You seriously think a lame Diva like Kelly Kelly is going to get a serious shot at the gold? Exactly, hell no." John explained to the unconfident Diva gently.
"You should become a motivational speaker John." Maria told him with a chuckle.
"I should shouldn't I?" John asked with a grin. John rolled his eyes when his cell phone began ringing once again with Torrie's special ring tone. "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.
"Hey." He said rubbing his hand over his face.
"Well right now I'm on my way to the photo shoot I have scheduled for today… It's for the magazine Tor… Oh it's for the storyline"…
"Yes she's here; she's doing the shoot with me. Tor I can't do a romantic storyline photo shoot by myself. That's a ridiculous idea Torrie."
John said with a sigh. Maria felt bad for him; she placed her small soft hand over his large strong one. John smiled at her, thankful for the support. Maria knew Torrie was badmouthing her but it didn't matter, because only a few hours earlier she had just given the WWE champion an excellent massage.
"So you got my message then?" John confirmed with his unhappy girlfriend.
"Yeah, well my flight is at 2:00 tomorrow. So I will see you at about 5:30 6ish." Explained John.
"How are you doing?" He asked not in the least bit concerned.
"Really? I am sure it will turn out alright; your perfume will turn up in one of your suitcases eventually. You always think that you left it behind in a hotel room and then you find it two weeks later. Don't worry it'll be fine." John assured his girlfriend.
"Well Tor, I just arrived so I'm going to go to my shoot and I will call you when I'm done kay?" John lied in an effort to tie up the conversation.
"Me too… Buh bye." John ended the call and looked at Maria apologetically.
"I'm kind of nervous." Maria revealed to John who looked at her with a quizzical expression.
"Why? You do this stuff all the time don't you?" John asked as he put his phone in his pocket.
"Well usually, when I do photo shoots, there's one girl there her name is Tera, she handles wardrobe, and she is really nice, she makes things totally comfortable for me. She was there when I was in the Diva Search, and she was here every shoot that I have done here on after. I don't know where I would be without her, I get uneasy when I pose so she always pops up with awesome music and it gets me going. Nobody else would do all the nice things that she does for me, the other Diva's told me that she's the only one that ever plays music for them. Unfortunately she's not going to be here, so there is going to be somebody else filling in for her in wardrobe." Maria explained with a nervous lop sided grin.
"Well where is Tera?" John asked curiously.
"She's in San. Lucas; the Diva search girls did a photo shoot there yesterday.
"Oh… Well you'll do fine Ria." John reassured her and put his hand over hers. He felt the car slow to a stop. He looked up to see that the limo driver was parking and the WWE champion saw that they were on a very busy street and just to their right was a large sky scraper that the photo shoot would be held in. "Guess we're here." He stated.
"Guess so." Maria exclaimed as the limo driver opened up John's door. John got out of the limo and helped Maria out behind him. First, he took her crutches out and leaned them on the side of the limo. He then helped Maria get out. She put the crutches under her arm and walked toward the building door. John walked behind her to ensure that she would not fall. He then opened the door for her. The pair went to the middle of the lobby up to a large circular desk with a security guard sitting at a computer.
"Hi, we're here for the photo shoot." Maria exclaimed cheerfully.
"Top floor." The guard stated not bothering to look up at them.
"Uhh Which room?" Maria questioned further as John scowled at the guard for having an attitude.
"It's the entire floor hun." The guard exclaimed unenthusiastically.
"Maybe you could try looking at her when she's talking to you." John said leaning his palms on the counter.
"Look I—Oh I am so Sorry Mr. Cena and Ms. Kanellis! It is right this way! I truly apologize, I didn't even know it was you guys, I should have been paying' attention." The guard stammered and stuttered coming out from behind the desk and going to the elevator and pressing the button. The guard waited nervously for the elevator to come down.
"I'm so sorry about that, it's the entire floor, as soon as you get off the elevator you're in the shoot." The guard explained as the two shook their heads in understanding. The pair got onto the elevator and watched the door closed.
"John you're so intimidating sometimes." Maria told him with a giggle.
"Well, I'm just an intimidating type of guy." John said stepping closer and in front of her to prove a point.
"Yeah?" She teased him with his signature Yeah.
"YEAH!" He yelled with a laugh. John put his hands on either side of Maria's head, Maria felt her breath soften, and quicken. She would have loved the position they were in, if not for the fact that she looked like a loser on crutches. John pressed his forehead to hers. Maria stared into his dreamy blue eyes and felt her heart flutter. Maria knew John was toying with her; as soon as the elevator beeped, signifying that they reached their destination, John turned around as if he had not done anything.
The WWE champion allowed the Diva to go in front of him on her crutches. He watched her walk out of the elevator enjoy the view; John shook his head 'Damn she's sexy' even on crutches! He thought to himself walking out shortly after. The photographer of the photo shoot walked up to Maria.
"Hello Ms. Kanellis, Mr. Cena! My name is Donovan and I am the photographer for this session today. Okay I am just going to give you guys the run down of the photo shoot, but before that, Ms. Kanellis, Vince informed me of your injury, and I just want you to know we are going to go easy on you, no crazy stuff today. We are going to be doing independent shots for the both of you first. Following those, we will take shots of the two of you together. Okay you guys can both—" Donovan was cut off mid sentence.
"MARIA!" A medium height and slightly chubby girl ran up to Maria and grabbed her in a hug forcing Maria to drop her crutches.
"TERA WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE IN SAN LUCAS UNTIL TOMORROW!" Maria exclaimed with a surprised smile.
"I WAS! BUT I LEFT SAN LUCAS ON A RED EYE! The diva search girls are still there but I wanted to make it to your shoot! So I left San Lucas at 2am and now I'm here!" The girl stated excitedly with a wide grin.
"Oh Tera you didn't have to do that." Maria said her eyes welling up. She was not that sensitive, but Tera had gone out of her way for Maria time and time again.
"ARE YOU KIDDING?! YOU ARE THE NICEST DIVA IN THE WWE! HOW COULD I NOT?! I bought some music for you too. And I have all your outfits laid out, nothing to racy but just right! Oh sorry Donovan! I'll let you finish talking, Maria I'll be in your dressing room." Tera exclaimed picking up Maria's crutches while she apologized to the photographer who rolled his eyes. Tera handed Maria her crutches and ran off.
"Okay, so what I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted was that John will be doing his independent shots first because it will take you longer to get through hair and make-up. Then Maria you will do your independent shots. Then we will take a lunch break, and you guys can take a chance to relax. Afterwards you guys will go through hair and make-up again, actually Maria will John you will just be getting a wardrobe change, then we will do the shots of both of you to promote your new storyline and then we will call it a rap." The photographer explained.
"Sure thing" Maria said happily.
"Gotcha." John replied.
"Okay Cena you can head on over there and Maria you are going to hair and make-up." Donovan, the photographer stated and walked off.
"See Ria, things are turning out just fine." John told Maria who nodded in agreement.
"I'm just surprised she came from San Lucas all the way here just for me." Maria exclaimed shocked.
"Maria, you don't see what I see. You are the kindest, most considerate, most understanding, funniest, most playful, sweetest, nicest, and fantastic girl I know. If I were Tera I would have came for you too." John told Maria who blushed furiously. "Did you need me to help you over to hair and make-up?" John asked Maria worried about her walking over the various cords and crates in the area.
"Yeah that'd be great." Maria told the WWE Champion. John walked with her over to hair and make-up as Tera ran back in forth between clothes racks.
"Oh hi! Your about to go through hair and make-up? HI MR. CENA! I'm TERA!" The girl exclaimed excitedly.
"Hi Tera. Thanks for coming all the way here for Maria." John thanked the girl for being there for his friend.
"OH NO NEED TO THANK ME! I'd do anything for Ria, she's one of the few Diva's that talks to me like I'm a person. And one of the very few Divas' that doesn't yell at me about the clothes covering them up to much." Tera exclaimed with a giggle. Maria blushed at the fact that the two were talking about her as though she was not even in the room.
"Speaking of which, what are the themes for today?" Maria asked Tera who smiled.
"Well Maria your theme is the fall season, so you're going to be in five different outfits some browns, blacks, and tan's, autumn colors. And some metallic's as well. Mr. Cena, your shoot does not have a theme. And the shoot for the both of you has three different themes. One just announcing that the two of you are an item, the next is for the match coming up at a pay per view, where Maria will be the guest referee, and another conveying that Maria is your manager. So you guys have it pretty easy. And I heard about your ankle Maria, I hope your okay." Tera explained as John bowed his head in guilt.
"Eh, I'll be fine." Maria answered as she took a seat in the chair in front of the hair and makeup vanity.
"Well, I better go that guy Donovan seems like a tight ass. Catch ya lata Tera. Bye Ria, I'll see you on the set." John said bending down and kissing her cheek causing Maria to grin like a fool. After John was out of earshot, Tera grinned.
"You like him don't you? SEE! I KNEW IT! He's going out with Torrie, are you sure you're not losing your mind?" Tera checked on her friend as she pulled the racks closer to Maria to talk to her while she worked.
"Well… I like him, but I haven't made any moves… Alright alright, how do you know me so well? Ugh, well I am flirting a lot… And the more time I spend with him the more I figure out that he truly, utterly, and literally hates his girlfriend. Tera the man is absolutely miserable with her, but he is so used to her that he will not let go. Torrie Wilson makes me sick! All she does is complain and whine about me spending time with John. I guarantee you, once we get back on the road with them, that physco bitch is going to put me through hell! I can feel the pain and humiliation already." Maria told Tera who organized Maria's various outfits.
"Well I'll tell you what, you can flirt with John all you want, just let him make the first move in terms of kissing and what not. Because once this all blows up, it will truly have been John's choice to cheat on Torrie. Don't kiss him Maria, let him kiss you. I am warning you, if you kiss him, it will make anything and everything that falls afterwards your fault. Say you kiss him and things get out of control, if he regrets it, you don't want him saying you made him do it. So don't kiss him!" Tera said.
"I already did." Maria admitted to Tera who dropped the bundle of hangers she was holding.
"YOU WHAT?!" She shrieked drawing attention.
"Well, he kissed me actually. But it was at a signing and for a fan." Maria explained further. Tera clutched her chest in relief and bent down to pick up the hangers.
"I already know about that kiss. It is everywhere, on the internet, on you tube. It is on myspace, and facebook! And it was sent to I thought you meant that you guys kissed after that as well." Tera revealed.
"WHAT?! Oh no Tera, I knew the website got it, because Vince knew about it. But I didn't know it was all over the rest of the internet. Shit now Torrie definitely has to know." Maria whined in nervousness. "I think I'm gonna be sick." She exclaimed and limped next door to the bathroom. Maria gagged into the toilet and when she returned Tera had a bottle of mouthwash waiting for her.
"You're a life saver" Maria said limping back into the bathroom to rinse out her mouth. After she returned, she plopped back down into the chair as the hair stylist came over and smiled at Maria.
"Look, you guys are just doing your job; If Torrie wants to penalize the two of you for that, then she's a hypocrite. Look at her old storyline with Carlito. You didn't see John trying to rip his head off now did you? Of course not, because it comes with the territory, WWE equals storyline, which equals romance which equals kissing, rubbing and whatever else comes along. Carlito and Torrie kissed all the time. Torrie's a butt munching bitch, don't pay any attention to her or any nonsense that spills out of her dirty mouth." Tera exclaimed supportively.
"I suppose your right, but yeah, I'll leave all the big decisions up to John." Maria replied as the hair stylist began doing her hair.
(A half hour later)
Maria took off the bandaging around her ankle and limped onto the chair sitting directly off the set. She was wearing an all black silky and tight dress which had a wide V-neck dipping all the way down right before her naval showing off an ample amount of her chest. The dress stopped just at her upper thigh. Maria had on long diamond earrings, a matching necklace, and bracelet. She wore black spaghetti strapped 4-inch heels and her hair was down with large curls. Apparently, Tera had bought music to play for John as well. Maria watched his ease with the camera as Jay-Z's "Blue Magic" boomed through the speakers. Maria could not help but smile and nod her head at the vibe she was getting from the shoot. John sat on a solid black box; the backdrop of the shoot was black as well. He was shirtless and wore a pair of long dark blue denim shorts with crisp white nike air forces. His serious facial expression would speak volumes to the people looking at the photos. The photographer directed him to stand up sideways and look towards the camera. John did so and Maria admired his perfect physique.
Tera shouted, "Hang on." She tossed Cena a camouflage baseball cap and his title belt. John put the cap on and turned back to the camera. The shoot continued and John's rapport with the camera was amazing. Maria sat up in her chair intrigued by the various shots. As Jay-Z's "Roc Boys" blared through the sound system, It was then Maria really thought about how successful that John Cena was, he was a musical artist, an actor, WWE Champion, World Tag Team champion, a hero to many little boys and girls across the world, and he had looks that made women fall to their knees. Maria admired the WWE Champion in awe. At that moment, Maria realized that the WWE champion was the epitome of American Success. That was when Maria felt not only lucky to be in this storyline with the WWE champion she felt proud, honored even. As if on que the song ended, and the photographer had used up three rolls of film on John.
"Okay that's the end of your independent shots Mr. Cena. Excellent Job, you can go relax for now." Donovan exclaimed as he changed the film in the camera. John walked over to Maria who stood up slowly.
"Wow, not only do you have a way with the ladies, you have a way with the camera." Maria flirted.
"You know it baby." John replied. Maria shook her head with a giggle.
"Ms. Kanellis you're up!" The photographer shouted. Maria limped her way over to the set and sucked in a breath. Maria immediately loosened up as Nicole Scherzinger's "Whatever you like" started to play. Maria leaned her weight on her uninjured ankle. She put one hand on her slim hip and she ran the other through her hair stopping mid way.
"Perfect Maria! Perfect!" The photographer shouted as he snapped various pictures. Maria turned her body slightly away from the camera and looked over her shoulder towards the camera. She pouted her lips and arched one eyebrow making for a great shot.
"Amazing Purely amazing!" Donovan shouted sounding like Santino Marella. Maria turned around with her body facing sideways on the other side. She bent her injured leg back and pointed her foot straight while putting one hand in her hair. She bared the immense pain in her foot with a smile and tilted her head up towards the ceiling, her hair gracefully lying on her back with the volume of the curls.
"BRILLIANT BRILLIANT!" The photographer stated giddily.
'So she massages like it's a pro, simple because she is a pro. She is funny, she is kind, she is sweet, she doesn't complain, she listens to my problems, and she is sexy as fuckin hell. She is exactly that brilliant. Mother-fucking-amazing." John thought to himself as he tried to keep himself from becoming aroused by Maria and her movements, he shifted in his chair uncomfortably as the shoot continued on.
Maria's motivation, inspiration, and adrenaline rushed as Jennifer Lopez's "Do it well" pumped through the speakers. Maria took a dominant stance, bent forward and blew kisses at the camera as the strange photographer shrieked in delight.
"YES! YES! That's it!" He yelled.
"Hang on." Maria said and limped over to the empty black box on the side and slid it over to the middle of the set. She turned to the side and put her injured foot on the box she left her arms drop behind her loosely and she arched her back tilted her head up and closed her eyes.
"Ms. Kanellis you're outstanding! OUT STANDING!" The photographer cheered her on as he was already on his third roll of film. Maria sat on the box and turned sideways. She rested on her hands which were behind her and held them straight. She once again arched her back forward and tilted her head up toward the ceilings. She stretched her legs out in front of her and crossed them sexily. After hearing the camera click a few times, Maria lifted up one leg and bent it so her heel was resting on the side of the box.
"EXCELLENT EXCELLENT!" Donovan screamed from behind the camera. John rolled his eyes at the photographer who kept saying every word twice.
Maria put one shoulder forward and looked at the camera. She gave a sexy smile and lifted her injured foot all the way up and dipped her torso back still keeping her back arched forward.
"OH MY GOD!" Donovan shouted in amazement.
"Okay Donovan, you used three rolls on this one outfit, it's time to change her." Tera cut in and helped Maria wobble off set.
'She goes through all that pain when she's injured for a photo shoot. She is truly dedicated to her work. If that were Torrie, she would have cancelled the shoot completely." John thought to himself admiring Maria's outstanding work ethic.
About ten minutes later Maria wobbled back onto the set wearing a pair of light denim jeans brown strappy sandals and a brown button down silk vest. The vest had a low dip and bared her shoulders and was cut like a triangle at the bottom, thus baring her naval. It was obvious that it was supposed to be worn over something but Maria wore nothing under the vest. Britney Spears "Gimmie More" began to play and Maria got her adrenaline pumping again. She sat on the box and faced the camera she spread her legs and her arms on her knees. She shifted her torso to her left and smirked at the camera cockily. Maria grew tired of the box and kicked it out of the way. She lay on her side on the ground that was covered with a black sheet. She looked up at the camera innocently with her face resting sweetly in her palm and her arm resting on her elbow. After pouting and winking at the camera a few times, Maria lifted her left leg up and let it bend with her heel resting on the ground. The camera clicked again, again, and again.
"Sexy! Sexy!" Donovan said, Maria held back scoffing. She turned her body flat on her back and propped herself up on her elbows. She stared at the ceiling, when the camera clicked multiple times Maria shifted her knees so that they were both bent. Then that one was bent, and then one was lifted sexily. Then one was lifted sexily while the other was bent.
"CHANGE" Tera shouted scooting Maria off the set. Maria came black in time for Jay-Z's "Change Clothes" she was clad in a silver asymmetrical metallic dress that stopped just after her butt along with silver sparkly closed toe stiletto pumps on her small feet. Maria twisted and turned, tussling her hair as Donovan went through the roll of film loving Maria's relationship with the camera. Maria kicked the box back over to herself. She stood behind the box and rested her injured leg on her knee on top of the box. She gave the camera a sultry seductive glare and ran one hand through her hair dropping the other loosely at her side. After posing a few more ways, Maria changed her outfit two more times before her independent shots were done.
"BREAK!" Donovan shouted walking away from the camera. Tera helped Maria wobble off set.
"Oh I brought you some comfy clothes too." Tera told Maria tossing her a plain white t-shirt and basketball shorts. Maria changed into the clothes gratefully and stepped out of the bathroom barefoot.
"Here's your lunch I got you a salami sandwich from a deli down the street and a ham salad. I know you hate the food they serve at the shoots." Tera said.
"Tera you're too good to me." Maria said at the third surprise Tera had given her. It began with her merely showing up, then the comfortable clothes, and finally the food. John came over to Maria and plopped down next to her on the sofa. He had a huge hamburger with everything on it and a mountain of French fries followed by a can of Pepsi.
"Hey where'd you get that sandwich?" John asked scarfing down his food.
Maria giggled at the amount of food on his plate. "Tera bought it for me before she got here." Maria exclaimed.
"Whoa, she gets the royal treatment from you Tera." John told Tera with a smirk.
"She deserves it." Tera said walking off with a smile and taking Maria's outfits with her.
"You did excellent Maria; I had to take a few deep breaths." John admitted causing Maria to blush. She finished chewing the food in her mouth and smiled.
"Yeah that's with music playing. Without the music playing, well let's just say I would have been stiff as a bored." Maria admitted to the WWE Champion.
"Well, I'll tell you one thing Ria, I was stiff as a bored." John said pervertedly wiggling his eyebrows. Maria's eyes widened and she began laughing hysterically not sure, if the Champion was kidding.
"You better be joking Cena." Maria said as Tera walked back over to her with an ice pack.
"Hey I just—Don't mind me I'm just trying to tie this on your- okay got it. See you guys in a bit." Tera said walking away after tying the ice pack to Maria's injured ankle.
"She is sooo sweet." Maria told John with a sigh.
"That's what happens when you're as nice to people as you are." John exclaimed 'If that were Torrie the girl probably would have chucked that ice pack at her head.' He thought to himself with a laugh.
Over their break, the two continued to eat and chit chat. Once it was done Maria and John parted ways. Maria rinsed out her mouth and changed into a sexy tight fitting referee shirt that dipped low between her breasts showing off her chest and it stopped right before her belly button. She also had a cute pair of matching leather ass shorts to match. Tera gave her a brand new pair of all black suede puma sneakers. The stylist re-did the curls in Maria's hair along with changing her make-up making it lighter. Maria and John met on the set, John was wearing a Hustle Loyalty Respect shirt with a pair of long black denim shorts and as usual his white air forces.
Maria immediately looked at the prop on the set which was a unique iron rod chair that was all black. The chair was stylish and chic, thin and sexy. Thoughts ran through Maria's head of what possible shots she could make with the chair. The pair stood on the set awkwardly as Donovan changed his film. Maria looked to her left and saw Tera winking and giving her thumbs up. Flo-Rida's "Low" began to play and Maria sucked in a breath and stretched out her shoulders to loosen up.
"Excellence has arrived." A bossy woman with large sunglasses came into the light with a bag. Maria knew this woman to be Klareese, Klareese handled many of the Diva's photo shoots, and photo shoots for the pay-per-views.
"Donovan, your not needed you can leave now." The women said dismissing the photographer who scoffed in anger. John and Maria laughed as Klareese set up her camera and filled it with film.
"Mr. Cena you haven't met me before, I'm Klareese, and you two are ready right?" Klareese asked rhetorically. "FIX THOSE DAMN LIGHTS!" She yelled Maria and John squinted under the heated lamps. "NOT THAT BRIGHT YOU IMBESLLES!" She screamed as they adjusted the lights again. "FAN! SOMEONE GET ME A FAN!" Klareese shouted. A fan was placed directly under the camera and turned on. Maria's hair started to blow. "ARE YOU RETARDED?! YOU ARE GOING TO BLOW HER HAIR OUT! TURN IT DOWN SOME!" She shouted as John chuckled at the photographer's rude demeanor.
"TAKE THAT DAMN HAT OFF! We want as little clothing as possible in this shoot!" Klareese yelled as Tera practically tripped over a lighting stand running up to John and snatching the hat off his head.
"Shirt, take off your shirt" Tera whispered, John took his shirt off and Tera smoothed over his hair.
"Maria I've been to many shoots with you; let's see how much you've learned from me." Klareese challenged. Klareese did many shoots with the Divas and she actually cared about her work. She taught the Divas one thing, "take the shoot". "Own the shoot", she told the Divas countless times; if you take control, then you will not be forced to do anything you are uncomfortable with. If you own the shoot, the photographer can't; therefore, he is following your lead, and the ball is in your court. Hence why Maria took no direction from Donovan earlier. Klareese taught the Divas this to protect them from doing things that compromised their dignity at a photo shoot just because a photographer told them too. Maria hobbled over and moved the chair out of the way and pulled the box back onto the set with John looking on confusedly.
"Kay, John sit here." Maria told him softly. John sat on the box. "Face side ways." Maria whispered. John faced sideways and Maria stood behind him and took a deep breath. She placed her hands delicately on his shoulders and looked at the camera with a confident smile as John glared at the camera with a serious expression.
"That's it Ria! Your not hopeless, you proved me wrong." Klareese was one for constructive criticism. Maria shifted her position a few times, after feeling it was time for a slight change she bent down and wrapped her arms around John.
"THAT'S IT!" Klareese said approvingly as John held her hands with his. Maria slid back up leaving her arms placed on John's shoulders. John slid his hands over Maria's as the camera clicked more.
"Tera pass John his belt." Maria shouted off the set. Tera gave John his belt. He put it on his shoulder; he and Maria took various shots with the belt before Maria got John to stand up. Maria kicked the box out of the way and told John to face the camera. Once he did Maria bent down and sat between John's legs leaned her head and back on one leg and curving one of her legs around his other. Klareese was highly impressed and took several shots before Maria got on her knees and wrapped one arm around John's leg and placed the other on the ground firmly. The WWE Diva then sat on the outside of one of John's legs and wrapped her arm around it and her leg. She looked up at him as if she worshiped him (which she did) and Klareese took multiple shots of them in that position. Maria rose to her feet and dragged the chair back to the middle of the set, she placed the chair in the middle and the two posed the same way as they had done with the box. Maria then told John to stand up and get behind her. Maria stood behind the chair and bent over bracing her arms on the back of it. Baby Bash's "Cyclone" began to play causing Maria to focus on the camera. Naturally, John put his hands on Maria's hips as she bent over the chair with a naughty grin. She picked the title belt up that was lying to the side. She held the title belt in her hands and also onto the chair and bent over once again as John took dominant stance behind her holding onto her hips allowing the shot to show of the championship belt.
"This is hot!" Klareese exclaimed loving the chemistry between the two.
Maria stood back up and leaned back into John's chest. John took the title belt and placed it around Maria's waist and put his arms around her as Klareese hooted.
"WOW THAT'S SOME POSE! You guys are great!" She shouted surprised. Maria took her injured leg and placed it over the back of the chair sexily. She rested her heeled foot on the seat of the chair and John stood behind her. One arm resting on her waist and the other holding up the WWE championship.
"Ouch you two are a dangerous pair." Klareese stated clicking the camera. Maria turned towards John and stepped closed to him so that their bodies were pressed together. Maria put her hands on his shoulders and arched her back and lifted up her injured leg. She tilted her head to the ceiling as John gave the camera a stone cold glare as he held up the WWE Championship. For an inter-gender photo shoot, there wasn't much a male could do; it was the female's job to work the camera.
"TURN OFF THAT DAMN FAN!" Klareese shouted as the fan was immediately cut.
"You too are heatin' up the room!" Klareese said now on her second roll of film. After a few shots were taken in that stance, Maria turned her back to the camera and John stood behind her facing the camera. He took the WWE title and placed it towards the camera over Maria's backside he held the straps of the title as though they were keeping Maria in place pressed against him. Maria placed her hand on his head and turned her head around towards the camera with a sultry stare.
"DAMN YOU TWO ARE ON FIRE!" Klareese shouted as she clicked the camera multiple times. Maria turned her and John sideways and leaned her forehead to his as though they would kiss any second. Maria lifted up her injured leg and rested it on John's hip as John held up the WWE Championship toward the camera.
"AMAZING! PURELY AMAZING!" Klareese said as the chemistry made for a great photo shoot. Maria placed her right hand on John's cheek and her left on his chest as they continued to face the camera side ways. She looked up at him in adoration as John stared at the camera with a fierce intensity as he continued to hold up the WWE championship.
"CHANGE!" Tera shouted wanting to get in the other outfits. John helped Maria off the set and the two quickly parted ways. Maria changed into a black business skirt suit. The jacket was petite and chic; under it, Maria wore nothing except a visible hot pink bra. The pink bra matched the frames of the chic sexy glasses that Tera put on her. The skirt to the suit stopped just before her upper thigh. On her feet, Maria wore matching hot pink heels. The make-up stylist put hot pink lip-gloss and eye shadow on her while the hair stylist swept her hair up sexily in a clip with a few curls framing her face.
"There now you look like a naughty lawyer" Tera said to Maria as they looked at her in the mirror. Maria giggled at her friend's humor before hobbling back over to the set as John showed up wearing a black Beware of Dog T-Shirt and a long pair of black denim Roca Wear shorts. Tera tossed Maria a black leather folder. "it's a planner, use it as a prop." Tera exclaimed to Maria who nodded. Will I Am's "Damn Girl" began to play and John sat down in the black chair and Maria stood closely behind him placing one hand on his shoulder and pretending to be interested in the contents inside the folder. As John stared at the camera. After various shots, Maria sat in John's lap on one of his legs and crossed her own once again looking in the folder. Maria moved the chair out of the way and stood face to face with John. She placed her right arm around his neck, removed the clip from her hair, and let it fall gracefully behind her. She tossed the clip off the set and took her glasses off and put the arm of the glasses in her mouth sexily.
"That's one hot mama!" Klareese shouted from off the set. Maria put her glasses back on. John sat in the chair again and Maria straddled him letting the heels on her feet rest against the inside of the front legs of the chair. She and John took multiple shots in this position. Maria took her glasses off. John had his hands resting right above Maria's backside.
"Don't move, I want to take a bunch just like these. Cena move your hands down! Don't be so shy!" Klareese ordered knowing Maria well and what she was and was not comfortable with. John moved his hands to the one place he had wanted to hold for the past few days. Soon J Holiday's "Bed" began to play bringing a different vibe to the set.
"Maria move your face in!" Klareese ordered being vocal with their movements.
Maria inched her face closer to John's as the shots continued. John stared into her eyes; he noticed a slight tremble in her lips as she sat on top of him. Maria didn't know if it was her imagination or if John was actually aroused. Slowly as though they were two magnets, John's face inched closer to Maria's as well. Klareese was about to tell them to change positions when she saw their lips connect. It was just a barely there brush at first, but that quickly changed.
Tera gasped when she walked over to the side of the set and saw Maria kissing John heatedly. Or was it John kissing Maria? Yes, Maria was on top, but John was the one with his head forward and he was moving his one hand up to the back of her head to pull her closer! Maria couldn't help but moan into John's mouth as he pressed her tighter against him. Maria felt one of his hands gripping her backside and the other tangled in her hair. She shifted on top of him so she was literally sitting on his arousal; John groaned into her mouth as Maria stroked the back of his neck with want. To Maria's delight, she felt John's tongue asking permission to enter her mouth; of course, she welcomed it in. Maria and John's tongue dueled in a delicious dance. The two continued to kiss as if they were the only two people in the room.
All of the hangers Tera was holding dropped causing a loud splatter on the cold cement floor. The noise did not stop them from kissing, but it did bring them back to reality. Maria slowly pulled away from John's mouth as he moved forward still wanting more.
