Chapter 11:Matchmaker
The scenario at the restaurant kept on playing in Alex's head, as Karen and her drove to the arena.
"Hey, what you thinking about, Alex?" Karen asked, as she noticed her friend lost in thought.
"Oh…me…ohm…. nothing?" Alexis replied, as she tried her best to bluff her friend.
"Really? Alex I've known you for a very long time! You can't lie to me. What's up?"
Karen asked, as she turned her attention to the road.
"Oh…ok. It's just that…um…I don't really want to intrude in John's love life. I mean, come on! It's his life. Why should I get involved? He doesn't even listen to anything that I have to say! So why even bother?" Alex asked, as she stared out of the passenger window.
"Look Alex, Mickie really likes John, and I guess, just maybe, they could end up together and she'll thank you later." Karen stated, as she pulled into the parking lot.
"Besides, Trish will help you. So, I guess it won't be that hard." Karen noticed the sad look on her best friends face. She knew something was up but she couldn't place her finger on it.
"Yes, maybe you right. Lets go!" Alex stated nonchalantly, as she jumped out of the SUV.
Karen went to Dave's locker room and Alexis went to John's. As Alexis walked she thought about everything that had happened. The talk she had with the divas at the mall and the kiss she had shared with John the previous night. She had butterflies in her stomach. She then heard her name being called out and turned around to see and ecstatic Mickie James waving at her. "Great! Just great!" Alexis thought to herself, as she put on a ghost smile and waved back at Mickie.
Alexis then came to a halt. She stared at the door in front of her, took a deep breathe in and entered in at a snail's pace. When she got in she noticed John sleeping on the couch. She stared at him for a while and then walked pass him, to go and see the schedule for tonight's match.
"Hey…How long you've been here?" A yawning Cena asked, as he got up and started stretching.
"Oh hi! Just got in. Didn't mean to wake you." Alexis replied, turning her attention back to the schedule.
"No, it's fine. Alex we need to talk." Alexis could feel her stomach rumble. She turned towards John and asked, "Talk? About what??"
"Ha…about what happened between us last night!" John replied.
"Oh…ok…what happened was…You pulled my earphones out, I got up to hit you, Karen walked in, caught me, you said I snore, I pounced on you…and well I kicked your ass. That's what happened." She stated, as she walked up to the mirror and redid her make up.
"Aight! And before that…the part when you kissed me? What happened there?" John asked, staring at Alexis through the mirror.
"I really don't know. But it meant NOTHING to me!" Alexis said, as she emphasized the word nothing.
"Really? Well missy, I wasn't the one who pressed my lips on yours first!" John stated.
"Well, you didn't have to kiss back!" Alex shouted at John.
"You know something…you crazy woman…I…I wanted to!" John yelled, as he flopped on the couch and switched on the TV.
Alexis was astonished. His words just kept on drumming in her head. Just then, there was a knock on the door and Alex went to open it and in came…
"Hey John, Alex." Trish said, as she entered the room. She then went up to Alex and asked her softly if she was ready and all that Alex did was nod.
"Hey, John. Do you mind if we can talk to you?" The Canadian bombshell asked.
"No. Sup?" John asked, as he turned the TV off, to give the ladies his undivided attention.
"Well, um…you see…well…Mickie has a crush on you!" Trish blurted out.
"Well that was very subtle, Trish!" Alexis said sarcastically, as she noticed the look in John's eyes.
"Oh…. Okay. …That's…um…nice." John replied dumbfounded.
"You see…John…Maybe you should go out with her. The girl is obsessed with you." Trish stated, as she sat next to John.
"Trish. You know I don't date divas! Why would you even suggest that?" John retorted. Alexis's had a cynical grin on her face.
"Oh…well…um…Alex suggested it!" Trish stated, hoping to get herself out of the mess, she had caused.
"What?" John and Alexis shouted together.
"It was Alex's idea. She thought that you and Mickie would make a great couple! Go on Alex, tell him." Trish said, as she looked at Alex, mouthing the words sorry.
"Alexis, you have some explaining to do!" John snapped.
"Great. Just great." Alex thought to herself. She remembered what John had said, before Trish had walked in. If John really meant it, then he really did like her. Truth be told, the kiss meant a lot to her too. But she couldn't get hurt again and decided to go with the flow.
"Yah…John…you two would make an adorable couple. Plus, look at the bright side; you two will be together all the time. Isn't that exciting!" Alex stated sarcastically, as she acted all bubbly like Mickie. John realised what she was doing. He hated the fact that he loved her and that she cared about him but denied it. With Trish at his side nagging him and begging him to go out with Mickie, John gave in and said, "Yes!"
"What??" Alexis shouted shocked. Trish squeezed John tightly and kissed on the cheek. She then left the locker room to inform the others girls and Mickie.
"I said yes. You're right. The kiss was nothing." John said, as he exited the room to go find an over-the-top Mickie James, leaving a stunned Alexis alone.
