Callie

Chapter 11

Later that night, a good portion of the divas and superstars were letting loose at the club. Callie had been on and off the dance floor for over an hour. She was currently sitting next to Ted at the table that the superstars were occupying. "Wait, so you could have totally been off the hook with going out with Mike because you had a completely legitimate excuse to not go out with him tonight and then you just asked him to go tomorrow instead?" Ted asked his friend, confused.

She groaned and took a long sip of her mixed drink. "Yes, I know, I don't know why I did it, he just looked so sad, I felt so bad."

He shook his head. "Cal, I think you've been pretty obvious with him thus far that you aren't interested. And then you just threw a monkey wrench in the whole thing. Tomorrow I think you either need to tell him point blank that you aren't interested in him like that or you need to give it a shot. You can't go back and forth."

She sighed. "You're right." She turned to face him. "You know I hate that, don't you?"

He smiled. "The fact that I'm right?" She nodded and he chuckled. "Get used to it baby,"

She rolled her eyes. "I don't know why I'm friends with you." She leaned back in the booth and looked around to see what superstars and divas had shown up. She smiled as her eyes connected with some of her coworkers. She looked up when she saw someone slide in next to Ted. Her heart stopped for a minute when she saw it was John.

"Hey Ted," He said with a smile as they shook each other's hands amicably. His eyes turned to Cal next and he offered her a nod of his head which she returned, though she found it quite difficult to not reach over and touch him. Damn, she thought to herself, it was so much harder to act like she'd never seen this man naked than she thought it would be. She could no longer understand how the two of them had never even struck up a conversation before they'd hooked up. She leaned into Ted's embrace when he wrapped his arm around her shoulders in a comforting gesture.

"Hey John," Ted greeted. "You just get here?"

He nodded. "Yeah, I forgot to bring a change of clothes with me to the arena so I had to run back to the hotel real fast." Ted nodded in understanding and John slapped his hands on his thighs before standing up. "I think I'm gonna go get a drink, you want anything?" He asked Ted.

He shook his head and held up the beer in his hand. "Nope, I'm good man."

John nodded and turned to leave before turning back, almost as if he just remembered Callie was there. Of course, that was completely untrue he was just trying to play the part. "Callie?"

She too shook her head. "I'm good, thanks." She said before he turned to leave.

"Man, he sure puts on a good act." Ted said as he leaned in to speak into Cal's ear so no one else could hear him. "If I didn't know about you two, I would totally believe that you guys barely know each other's name."

She let out a sigh. She could only dream of a day where she and John could openly be together with all their friends and coworkers around. "I don't know if that should make me feel relieved or sad." She said as she looked at her friend with a frown. He frowned too.

"Hey now, no frowning." He said, wanting his friend to have fun tonight. "Come on, let's dance." He said, pulling on her hand to pull her into a standing position.

Her eyes widened in surprise. "Ted DiBiase wants to dance? What?" She asked as she dramatically rubbed her ear. "Am I hearing things?"

He rolled his eyes. "Keep talking and I just may change my mind."

She smiled. "Alright, let's go." She said as she allowed him to pull her on the dance floor.

"You've been holding out on me mister!" Callie said to Ted as she leaned in close to his ear so he could hear her over the loud music.

He laughed. "Hey, I never said I was a bad dancer, just that I don't like it."

She glared at him teasingly. "Remind me to have a long talk with your wife the next time I see her. She should have warned me you were a good dancer." He just rolled his eyes as they continued to dance. As she moved her hips to the music, she turned her head and almost stopped in her tracks when she saw John standing off to the side of the dance floor watching her closely as she moved. He must have sensed she had seen him because he trailed his eyes from her scantily dressed body up to her eyes. She sucked in a breath at the lust she saw in those brown eyes. He licked his lips as he looked her up and down so if she wasn't sure before, she now knew exactly what was on his mind. His eyes found her again and then he jerked his head to the right before moving and disappearing into the crowd.

She took that as her cue to follow him and no way was she going to pass that up. "Hey, I'm gonna go to the bathroom," She said into Ted's ear.

He nodded. "K, meet me back at the table when you're done. I'm about ready for a break anyway, I'll get you another drink." She smiled and nodded as she watched him leave. Once he was out of sight she headed in the direction she'd seen John go. She found him in the very back of the gyrating body's. She walked close to him and once she was within arm's reach he settled his hands on her hips and pulled her against his body. He couldn't hold back the moan that escaped his lips just at the feel of her body on his. "God, you have no idea what you do to me."

She giggled. "You do great things for my confidence."

He smiled and cupped her cheek with one of his hands. "You look absolutely gorgeous tonight." He said and punctuated his words with a kiss on her lips.

"Thank you," She said though she was just wearing a simple black dress.

He leaned forward again and kissed her. This time he deepened the kiss and snaked his tongue into her mouth, eliciting a moan from her. His hands moved down to her butt, giving it a squeeze and pushing her closer to him. Another moan.

"John," She said as she pulled away breathlessly. "Not here," She said as she glanced around. "Too risky."

"Why?" He asked as he kissed her neck.

She closed her eyes at the touch. "Why? Everyone's here, anyone can see,"

He looked at her and grinned. "That makes it more fun, the thrill of getting caught." Damn, it seems like she'd created a monster. She wanted their relationship to be more than just in the bedroom and now here he was, wanting to take her right here in a club that all their friends were at.

She honestly couldn't think of a time she had wanted anyone more than she wanted John right now. But while he wanted to think short-term fun, she had to think long-term reality. "As fun as that sounds…you know we can't."

His eyes darkened. "Then let's go."

"Now?" She asked.

"Cal, I need you now." He said huskily.

"Ok," No need to tell her twice.

Callie yawned as she opened her eyes the next morning. The minute she did she immediately was faced with John's bare chest and all memories of last night came rushing back to her. She smiled and tightened the arm that was wrapped around his body before closing her eyes again, content to just lie there with him.

A few seconds later John turned his body so he was facing her and gently brushed some hair away from her face. She looked up and smiled at his smirking face. "Good morning."

She sighed. "Mmm, morning. How long have you been awake?"

"Just before you." He answered as he leaned down to kiss her. "I could get used to waking up to a beautiful woman every day."

She lifted a brow. "Really?" She was more than excited that they had actually spent the night together and (that's a huge 'and') there were no regrets. He actually seemed to look forward to next time.

He let out a laugh. "Don't act so surprised."

She closed her eyes when he kissed her forehead. "I wish we could."

"Yeah but unfortunately we both have roommates." He said, running his hand over her hair.

Her eyes popped open. "Shit, roommates!" She said before sitting up.

"Relax, I already checked, Ryder's not here. Don't worry I tracked him down last night and told him I was gonna need the room for the night." He said as he sat forward, wrapping his arm around Callie's waist as he laid a series of kisses on her shoulder. "He's under strict orders not to return until I give him the Ok."

She let out a sigh of relief. "Ok, good." She said as she allowed herself to relax but then she remembered she had her own roommate. "Crap, what am I gonna tell Melina?"

He didn't seem concerned. "You'll think of something."

She turned around and pressed a kiss to his lips. "I gotta go," She said standing up. She searched around for her clothes for a while before kissing John once more. "I'll see you later."

Callie slid open her hotel room door slowly and quietly so she wouldn't wake her roommate. She walked further into the room and raised a brow in surprise when she saw her friend was not in her bed. In fact, it was perfectly made. She looked in the bathroom just to make sure and sure enough her friend was nowhere to be seen. She smiled. "Yes!" She couldn't believe her luck. After taking a shower and getting dressed, she turned on the TV and sat on the couch so she would appear completely normal when her friend walked in. She didn't want her to know she hadn't come back to the room last night. She glanced over at her bed in alarm before running over and pulling the sheets back, making sure to mess it up and make it look like she'd actually slept in it the night before. She heard a keycard enter the slot outside her door and she quickly went back to the couch.

Melina walked in the room quietly as if she didn't want to wake Callie. Cal smiled as she saw her friend dressed in her club gear from the night before. "Well, well, sneaking in Missy?"

Melina's head snapped up. "Shit," She mumbled to herself.

Cal laughed. "And where have you been all night?"

Her friend looked up and blushed. "Wade."

Her eyes widened. "Barrett?" She nodded. "Damn girl you work fast."

Her cheeks grew redder. "No, it's not like that. We were hanging out at the club last night and he invited me back to his hotel room. Nothing happened we just talked all night and eventually fell asleep."

Cal raised an unbelieving eyebrow. "You expect me to believe that?"

Mel smiled. "Yes but if you don't you can ask Heath Slater. He is Wade's roommate and we definitely didn't wake him up with crazy sex noises."

Cal laughed. "Alright, alright, but spill the details girl! Just yesterday morning you were telling me about your crush on him and now you're spending the night? What's going on?" Mel laughed as she joined her friend on the couch and told her all about her night with Wade.
