Chapter 10 – Boody Is Not A Word
"Right so how badly am I getting my ass kicked right now?" John Cena sighed as he looked once more down at the scrabble tiles in front of him.
Kate Wilson couldn't help the smile that lingered on her lips as she looked at the man before her. There he was, sitting cross legged on the carpet across from her, on the other side of the scrabble board that was currently sitting on the coffee table between them. She actually didn't think it was anatomically possible for a man of John Cena's size to sit cross legged, but there he was. The scrabble tiles looks like M&Ms as he pushed them back and forth along the tile holder in front of him with his massive fingers and equally massive hands. The look of sheer confusion and frustration absolutely priceless as it remained on his face.
"Pretty badly Cena," Kate replied, a small laugh escaping her lips as John's eyes finally rose to meet hers "First mini golf, now scrabble. I'm starting to wonder if there's anything you're actually good at."
The Doctor of Thugonomics started wiggling his eyebrows as his mouth opened to retaliate.
"No Cena," Kate quickly interjected "Just no."
Kate laughed again at the pouting look on John's face in response to her interjection.
"Now hurry up and go!" Kate quickly spoke again as she started tapping a spot of coffee table in front of her impatiently.
"Fine," John huffed as he picked up 4 tiles from his tile holder and arranged them on the board.
Kate turned her head so she could read the word the right way up. The brunette cocked an eyebrow as her eyes turned their attention to John.
"'Boody' is not a word John," Kate stated matter-of-factly.
"Is too!" John exclaimed in his defence.
"Well yeah it's a word but not a 'real' word," Kate said rolling her eyes.
"How isn't it?" John stated "I'm going to look it up in your dictionary. Where is it?"
"Why the hell would I have a dictionary Cena?" Kate laughed.
"For Scrabble!" John stated in his defence "To solve Scrabble debates like this!"
"This is not even my Scrabble board!" Kate laughed "It's yours!"
"It is not mine," John said with a cheeky smile crossing his face "I bought it for you."
"You bought me a Scrabble board did you?" Kate said, breaking out into a small smile to match John's.
"Yes I did," John said with a smile in return before he shook his head "But that is not the point."
Kate watched as John sat up slightly onto his knees in order to retrieve his cell phone from his back pocket.
"And what IS the point then my dear?" Kate enquired.
"The point is that 'boody' is a word!" John stated as his eyes remained locked on his phone screen whilst he searched for it "B.O.O.D.Y. As in 'I have a massive boody!' Ah ha!"
John smiled victoriously at Kate as he flipped his phone around and pointed the screen in her direction. Kate rolled her eyes as she read the words on the phone screen in her head.
"You see," John stated "It says right there that 'boody' is a real word."
"Yeah but that's the 'slang dictionary' not the real dictionary," Kate replied before she shrugged her shoulders "But I mean you can have it if you want."
"Oh no no no," John said, eyeing Kate as he pointed a finger in her direction "I'm not falling for that one."
"Falling for what?" Kate replied, trying to feign innocence.
"That," John replied, still pointing and waving his finger in Kate's direction "All that 'Yeah sure you can have it even though it's not a real word so then if you happen to win it'll be because you cheated.' I know where this is going Miss Wilson."
"It's not going anywhere John," Kate replied, although she was finding it extremely hard to suppress the smile working its way across her face "If you feel you have to use a 'slang' word then whatever."
"I am going to get you," John replied, a devious look suddenly appearing on his face.
"What?" Kate asked, her brow furrowing as she wasn't sure what John was actually talking about "John, what…"
Even before she had got the next word out of her mouth Kate saw John slide the coffee table across the floor and body tackle her to the carpet. It all took place so fast though that even though she saw him do it, her body was frozen where it was and she couldn't move to avoid it.
"John!" Kate squealed as she hit the soft carpet underneath her before John started ruthlessly tickling her.
Kate started giggling and throwing her legs and arms in all kinds of directions in order for the tickling to stop, but it was useless. John was a lot stronger than her and he currently had himself pinned on top of her. There was no way she could get out of it.
"John stop it!" Kate squealed in amoungst her giggles "Stop!"
"Not a chance sweetheart," John replied "You and your 'slang' dictionary brought this upon yourself."
"Stop it!" Kate squealed again "John!"
John suddenly stopped and rested his palms either side of her body as he hovered his upper body above her. He laughed as he watched her try and catch her breath. Her eyes closed for a moment as her breathing finally returned to normal. Opening her eyes Kate took a moment to glare at him before she smacked John on the arm with a free hand. The smile on his face only widened in response.
"You are an ass," Kate said, drawing out each word slowly, as she took a deep breath and sighed.
"And you," John replied "You are fucking beautiful."
Kate didn't even have a chance to smile before she felt John's lips descend onto hers. Her eyes fluttered shut as her arms rose to wrap around his neck. Kate felt John smile against her lips and it only made her want to deepen the kiss that much more. Kate loosened her arms around John's neck as she placed each of her palms on either side of his face. She felt his tongue enter her mouth, an action she reciprocated, as she felt one of his large hands bend her leg towards her chest as he grabbed at her ass through her sweatpants. She couldn't help herself when a groan escaped her lips as John hands continued to roam the lower half of her body. It was almost like he knew exactly where to touch her – whether it was because he had had that much experience with women or whether it was just pure dumb luck Kate didn't even care right now. The brunette started to wrap her legs around John's waist when they were suddenly interrupted.
Kate and John immediately stopped what they were doing as soon as Randy Orton's cough made his presence felt. Detaching at the lips Kate and John turned to face the 3rd generation superstar – their bodies still all kinds of entwined on the carpet on the floor.
"As much as I'd love to stay and witness all that," Randy said shaking his head "I'm heading out. I'm staying at Samantha's tonight and I probably won't be back until Monday."
"Yeah whatever," Kate replied turning her head to stare at the ceiling as she gently let her head fall back onto the carpet.
"Yeah, well bye," Randy replied.
"See ya later then man," John replied as he started to sit up and create a little distance between him and Kate, something that didn't go unnoticed by Randy.
"By all means continue," Randy said throwing up his hands in defeat as he glared at John "Don't stop on account of me."
"Really man?" John sighed as he stared right back at Randy.
"Just let it go John," Kate said with a small shake of her head as John's eyes were drawn towards her for a moment.
"Seriously dude it's been nearly 2 months now," John stated, turning his attention back to Randy as he sat back up on his knees "I mean I get that this is your house and all, but if you've got a problem with this…."
And with that John pointed between him and Kate.
"Then just say something," John continued "Cause this right here is awkward as shit and it's clearly not getting any better."
"Whatever Cena," Randy sighed "You and Kate do whatever the hell it is that you want. For all I care you can fuck her right there in the middle of the carpet right there in my living room. Do whatever you want, just don't expect me to want to stay here while it's going on."
John went to open his mouth again, but Randy had already turned his back to the living room. The next thing John and Kate knew he was out of the house with a louder than usual slam to close the front door behind him. John shook his head, not believing that this was still going on nearly 2 months later. He had expected Randy to have a problem with him and Kate early on into all this, but he hadn't expected it to last this long, and frankly it was starting to really get on his nerves. John sighed as he turned his attention back to Kate, who was still lying on her back on the carpet staring at the ceiling.
"Maybe we should just start hanging at yours from now on," Kate said, her eyes finally drifting from the ceiling to meet John's.
"We could," John shrugged as he readjusted himself so he was now leaning his back against the coffee table with Kate's legs stretched out to lie across his lap "But I mean that's not really fair is it?"
"Nothing with Randy is ever fair," Kate sighed as she raised her arms to settle on the carpet above her head "He can bring whatever flavour of the month he's currently fucking back to the house after so little as one date, but apparently for me and the guys I date there's another set of rules."
"He's going to have to get used to the fact that me and you are dating sometime though Katie," John spoke, his eyes fixed on his girlfriend before him as one of his hands reached out to rest on her shin.
John Cena watched Kate as her eyes wandered back up to the ceiling above their heads. Sure he'd been with beautiful girls before, but Kate Wilson was still the first girl he'd officially dated in over 5 years. It wasn't that he was too busy for a relationship, because God only knew how many women he'd made time for to go and come into his life, but over the last 5 odd years those women had been bed company and nothing more. It probably had something to do with the fact that Kate was a million times more beautiful than any other girl he'd laid eyes on, but he was sure it was mostly because she wasn't falling all over herself to be with him.
Having the well-known public status that he had, John had found that every beautiful woman he'd set his eyes on was his from the word 'go'. Whether it was something regular or a one night offer, John had never really had to work for his women. Kate Wilson, however, had made him work for her. Yeah it was clichéd and yeah it was predictable, but it wasn't the reason why he broke his non-relationship streak. Sure the fact that he had to work for her made her that much more appealing but she was a woman of substance, not just a woman of beauty. She was sharp and smart and kept him on his toes. She was challenging and that was exactly why he had asked her for a relationship only 3 weeks after their first date. He didn't have to and he knew that Kate wasn't expecting it but truth be told that when he had spare time he wanted to be spending all of it with her.
"I doubt that sometime is anytime soon though John," Kate shrugged, snapping John out of his thoughts.
John sighed as he turned his attention back to her.
"Yeah I guess," John spoke, his thumb stroking Kate's skin softly as it travelled up and down her shin "I don't think we really make the situation any better though by being caught by him every single time in array of sexually compromising positions."
John smirked as he noticed the smile creep its way across Kate's lips. Her eyes, however, remained fixed on the ceiling.
"Like the other day in the kitchen?" Kate asked, her eyes flicking downwards to look John in the eyes.
"Now that was entirely your fault!" John exclaimed in his defence as he threw up his hands.
"How was it my fault?!" Kate exclaimed back, her brow furrowing in confusion.
"You were the one looking all sexy on the kitchen counter in those skimpy pyjamas shorts," John rambled on as he momentarily gestured towards Kate and Randy's kitchen "When you really should have been making me a sandwich."
"Oh is that so?" Kate laughed as she pushed herself up slightly to rest on her elbows on the carpet "I'll remind you of that next time you want to make out with me in my kitchen."
"I was kidding," John replied with a laugh, rolling his eyes "But seriously, maybe you should just tell Randy the truth."
"The truth about what?" Kate asked, her head tilting on the side as she looked curiously at him.
"That we haven't even had sex yet," John replied, his eyes averting to the carpet in front of him for a second before returning to Kate's.
"Like he would ever believe that Cena," Kate said rolling her eyes.
"Well I mean it's the truth," John reiterated "So he might."
"Would you believe it?" Kate asked, an eyebrow cocked in John's direction.
"Probably not," John said smiling "Especially considering how hot you are."
"How is that relevant at all?" Kate said, a small laugh following her words.
"It isn't," John shrugged, still smiling "Just stating the facts that's all."
"And speaking of facts," Kate commented, hauling herself up so that now she was sitting upright, her legs still lying across John's lap "Remind me again why we haven't had sex yet?"
"Cause I'm not done warming you up for the big game yet," John cheekily replied.
"The big game?" Kate laughed "Oh really?"
"Yes really," John replied matter-of-factly "I mean if you don't warm up before a big game you're going to just end up with an injury,"
"Oh OK," Kate said, trying to stifle her laughter as she eyed John "So the reason we haven't had sex yet is that you're basically looking out for my best interests and trying to avoid injuring me?"
John paused for a moment, his lips pursuing together as he took a moment to process how Kate had just twisted his words around.
"Well when you put it like that it sounds kinda dumb," John admitted.
"Funny that, but a lot of things that come out of your mouth are kinda dumb Cena," Kate replied with a small laugh, her hand reaching out to grab the thick strap of John's singlet.
"Fine then," John said as he turned right around to face Kate.
Before Kate knew it John was effortlessly pulling all 110 pounds of her into his lap, her long legs comfortably wrapping around his waist as he did so. Kate smiled as she felt John's arms band around her lower torso. In retaliation she grabbed the other strap of his singlet and found her hands now resting on his ridiculous broad and muscular chest. God he was a big guy.
"We're going to have sex right now," John stated.
"Oh are we?" Kate asked, an eyebrow raised at John once again.
"Yep," John stated, not fazed at all about what Kate was saying "Right here, right now."
"Right here?" Kate asked, trying again to stifle her laughter at the very serious face John was currently wearing.
"Right here on this carpet," John nodded, his poker face remaining.
"In the middle of my living room?" Kate asked.
"In the middle of your living room," John nodded again.
"Do it then," Kate tormented, her eyebrows wiggling at John for good measure "I dare you."
"You'd like that wouldn't you darling?" John tormented in return, his arms around her adjusting slightly, causing her T-shirt hem to rise a little higher and expose the skin of her lower back.
"Like what exactly?" Kate asked, tilting her head a little to the side as she kept her eyes on him.
"Having sex right here on this spot of carpet," John answered, his thumbs absentmindedly stroking her exposed skin.
"It wouldn't be the first time," Kate replied with a cheeky smile.
"Oh is that so?" John asked, a little surprise evident in his tone.
"It is so," Kate replied with a nod.
"Well," John started as he sighed and just stared at Kate for a moment.
"Well?" Kate asked, edging him to get his reply out a little quicker.
He was toying with her and he knew it. His spoken words were torment enough when it came to him having sex with her verbally rather than it actually happening, but having to wait for his reply was that much worse.
"Well now we just can't do it," John answered, a smile on his lips.
"And why is that?" Kate asked, her eyes narrowing as she eyed him and tried to suss out his intentions.
"Cause it's been done before," John replied straight away.
"Yeah?" Kate replied hesitantly, not sure exactly where he was going with this "I hate to tell you this Cena but sex has been done before."
"Not sex in general idiot," John said rolling his eyes "Sex on this carpet right here"
"I'm sorry did you just call me an idiot?" Kate asked, a small laugh escaping her lips.
"I did," John replied, wiggling his eyebrows as he smirked at her.
"So we're not going to have sex right now because it's been done before on this carpet?" Kate asked, trying to get a little clarification as to what was going on "Is that what you're saying?"
"Yep," John replied with a nod "And that's not how our first time is going to go down."
"Oh really?" Kate asked.
"Really," John nodded again "Cause since it's been done before I'd expect you to think I'd be a little more original than that."
Kate laughed at his response. He genuinely had an answer for everything. Not even just an answer either; it was always a witty answer. He was good, he was quick, and he could match her. That was why their conversations were always fun and why they always made her laugh.
"You want to be remembered do you?" Kate asked, her hands flattening out on his chest as she spoke "Is that it?"
"Hell yeah," John replied with a wink in her direction "John Cena is always memorable."
Kate laughed again, this time stretching out her arms in front of her so that she could wrap them around John's neck. John smiled at her. She was absolutely beautiful when she laughed. It made her green eyes light up when she did, and it made him smile when he watched her.
"So Mr Memorable," Kate replied, drawing John out of his stare "What exactly did you have in mind then?"
"Now that's no fun," John replied.
"What?" Kate asked.
"It'd be no fun if I were to tell you my game plan," John said with a smile.
"Why is every sexual reference you use related to sports?" Kate asked with a laugh.
"It'll be much more fun to catch you off guard when it does happen," John continued, ignoring Kate's question.
"And I do love surprises," Kate replied, wrapping her arms a little tighter around John's neck.
"Oh I know you do," John smiled, his arms responding by wrapped themselves a little tighter around Kate's body.
"It sounds like you think you know everything about me," Kate commented.
"Not true," John replied, shaking his head "Which is the best part."
"And why is that?" Kate asked.
"Because I'm having the best fucking time getting to know you," John simply replied.
"And cheesy John Cena strikes again!" Kate exclaimed with a laugh.
John smiled back at her.
"You do realise how much of a smart ass you are don't you?" John questioned as he drew Kate in even closer towards him.
"It's all part of my charm," Kate winked at him as she leaned her head forward so that their foreheads were now touching.
"Come here you," John said before he closed the last bit of distance between him and Kate.
He felt her lips on his and it was purely intoxicating. The taste of her lips, the feel of her lips, the way she kissed him. Everything about her kiss was intoxicating and that was the problem. Truth be told he had wanted to jump her bones on their first date when she had tried to rape him in the front seat of his car, but he had controlled himself. Every time she kissed him though, it became harder and harder to control the urge he had to take her right there and then. He knew he couldn't hold off for much longer but he had wanted to try and hold out for a little while, and that was why they still hadn't had sex.
After that first date John was sure of it that Kate had resisted seeing him because of what Randy had instilled in her mind about how he was with women. Now although that was true, John had no idea that his rep had been that bad. He loved sex – every man on the planet did, but what he loved more than sex was proving people wrong. The fact that Kate and him hadn't had sex had slightly been driven by the fact that he was actually having a fantastic time getting to know and dating this girl, but the majority of the drive had come from wanting to prove Randy Orton wrong. He wanted to prove to Orton that Kate wasn't just a sexual conquest. He wanted to prove that he could actually date women, rather than just bedding them. Kate was the guy's best friend too, and although pissing Orton off was fun, he didn't want to get on the wrong side of him for screwing over his best friend. Orton had always been a good friend to him, and although things were tense between them now he didn't want to make them any worse.
Kate broke the kiss suddenly and that was when John was finally snapped out of his deep chain of thoughts.
"You OK?" Kate asked, eyeing him curiously.
"Yeah sure," John immediately replied with a smile "Why?"
"Cause we were in the middle of a hell awesome kiss when it was almost like you went to sleep on me," Kate replied with a smile in return.
"Just lost in my thoughts that's all my dear," John replied before he leant in for another kiss.
Kate, however, backed off slightly, which caused John to eye her in confusion.
"What?" John asked.
"You sure you're alright?" Kate asked again, not quite convinced of his initial answer to her question.
John sighed. He reached one of his hands round to Kate's front and reached up to tuck a stray strand of brown hair behind her ear and off her face. Kate smiled at him as he did so.
"I like you a lot, but Orton is my mate and as much of an idiot that he's being about all this I probably need to respect his boundaries when it comes to you," John replied.
Kate sighed and took a moment before she nodded.
"I'll talk to him," Kate replied.
"I would, and I will, but it's probably better than you talk with him first so he….," John started again.
"It's OK," Kate replied, cutting him off with a smile "It's about time I talked to him about this anyway. It's not like I can avoid him forever."
"You probably could if you wanted to," John commented "Your damn house is big enough too!"
"Shut up Cena," Kate replied before she quickly pressed her lips on John's once more.
John smiled against her lips as he kissed her back. He then flipped them over so Kate was now flat on her back on the carpet again. His lips detached from hers in order to assault her neck as he started to ruthlessly tickle her again. Her uncontrollable giggles filling the room again.
