Crushing on a Werewolf
Chapter 11 – Cries of the Night
Something brushed against the bridge of my nose so slightly, so softly. It reminded me of my mother's touch when I was a young child. I forced my hesitant eyes open to ponder, when I realized I was in a vast open grassy field. The sight was marvelous; everything was so lush and voluminous. I stood up, my nose opening up and absorbing the scent of the wild nature air.
"Randy?" my voice echoed in the infinitely grotesque surrounding.
"Think again, Johnny boy," responded a shrill, cocky, arrogant voice. It sounded extremely familiar, but I was much too disorientated to focus on that matter.
Out of the blue, something swept by me in a quick, powerful gust of speed, knocking me back several feet onto my back.
"Keep away from Orton!"
"It's not your destiny to be with him!"
"You belong with ME!"
With every word of this (completely blasphemous) voice, I was knocked back several feet. My ass cringed in pain every time to the point where I doubted I had an ass any longer. My ribcage was on fire with intense twinge from the vigorous blows of the unknown force.
As I vainly attempted to console my pain, the figure appeared in front of me faster than I could snap my fingers. He lifted me off my feet by my shirt collar, leaving me dangling in the air high above the ground. He was gigantic, though now that I think about it, the ground was now also infinitely vast, so it was hard to actually judge his height.
"Mark my words, Johnathan Felix Anthony Cena. Your ass is MINE."
The figure tossed me roughly, and I began to plunder into the depths of the dark, endless abyss as I slowly lost consciousness.
"John?"
"Hmmm?"
"John?"
"JOHN!"
I woke up out of my slumber in a shock, observing Randy shaking me slightly more-than-gentle.
"Babe, are you okay?" asked Randy is his deep, serious voice.
"I…I'm fine…just a nightmare and all..." I replied, wiping some of the damp sweat off of my sweaty forehead.
"You were shaking and screaming…" said Randy… "and you looked like you were in pain. I've been trying to wake you up for at least five minutes now."
"FIVE MINUTES?" I shouted. "I wonder why I wouldn't wake up…"
"Well, if you're okay…I guess we should try and get back to sleep…"
"Yeah, you're right…" I said, falling back onto my pillow.
There was silence for a while before Randy spoke again. "If you don't mind me asking…what was the dream about?"
"I'd have to find out myself first, Rand," I replied honestly.
Randy and I spent the majority of the morning and afternoon in my bed, just talking and some minor fooling around. We might have been completely nude and only covered by my light comforter, but I felt warmer than ever while I was with him. At the moment, we were making out, and it was leading pretty far, when my phone started buzzing. Evan was calling me, and I was contemplating not answering, but I figured he'd already interrupted the moment and answered it anyway.
"Hey man, Eve and Beth are complaining about how we all haven't hung out as a group, so do you want to go to the Steakhouse for dinner? Daniel and I can come and pick you up."
I thought about it for a second, looked at Randy, and replied. "Yeah, sure, but I don't need a ride. Randy's here."
I instantly regretted telling Evan that bit of information.
"Wait, Randy's there? Did you two…no, did…you…broke up…back…"
"See you there, buddy!" I said into the phone quickly before hanging up.
"What's up?" Randy said.
"Oh nothing…the guys want me to come out to dinner with them…you don't mind, do you?"
Randy raised his eyebrows. "Nahhh, I don't mind. I'll just go home and find something to do."
"You can come, Randy."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Okay…well we should probably get cleaned up, then…" he said, referring to the sticky, sweaty, jumbled mess the both of us were covered and lying in.
~ LATER THAT DAY ; STONE COLD STEAKHOUSE ~
"You brought him?" Evan whispered to me from the left once everyone had gotten settled and ordered food.
"Yeah, I'm here," Randy answered for me.
"Oh, shove it, Fido," replied Evan, but he shut up when I elbowed him in the ribs.
"Will you all please excuse us?" I said, forcefully grabbing Evan by the arm and pulling out of everyone, especially Randy's, hearing range.
"What's your problem, Ev?" I soft-shouted. "You've been acting like a jackass."
"Nothing's wrong with me," he replied in a harsh voice. I could tell he wasn't pleased to say the least.
"No, something is definitely wrong with you. You and Randy can't ever seem to get along." That fact sickened me, and I wanted it to end.
"Since when is it my responsibility to befriend your pets?" he said. "Randy should be at the pound for all he's worth!"
Evan was definitely pissing me off now. What the fuck was his problem?
"You know, Evan, I'd think that you, one of my closest friends, would support me in this," I said, half through gritted teeth.
"It's not every day your best friend is going out with man's best friend!" he shouted.
"You know what, fuck you, Evan. If you can't deal with this, don't, because it doesn't have to concern you. I'm willing to live with it, but if that's too much for you, than you can fucking shove it," I spat, before leaving him standing there and finding the bathroom, zipping down my zipper to take the piss of my life. I stood there after I was finished for a while, suppressing the anger I was feeling down to a minimal point. Once that was done, I washed my hands and dried them, heading for the exit.
"Cena!" shouted a voice from the door of the restroom. I turned his head to see where the voice was coming from. Turns out it was Mike Mizanin, probably looking for trouble.
I sighed dramatically. "What is it, Mike? I need to get back to my friends."
"Chill-axxxxx," Mike said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "We're cool, right? I just want to have a word with you, bro, that's all."
Where has he been for the past several years of my life? I asked myself. It's definitely farfetched to call us friends, and he's calling us bros?
I decided to play his game, but only to divulge to his intentions quicker. "Yeah, bro, what's up?" It made me sick to talk to him like this, knowing all the crap he'd put me and my friends through.
He flashed me this smile I found very uncomfortable to receive, and he was looking at me in such a manner it almost made me sick; like he was taking in and admiring every aspect of my body. I continued my act of friendship, however.
"Well, I've been thinking…I've been a complete douche to you and your pals for a long time, and I just want to make it up to you all."
What the fuck?
"For real?" I asked, shocked. "How..?"
"As you know, my parents are multi-billionaire actors," he said, flashing his collar arrogantly. "And they'll be away next weekend, leaving me with the house to myself. You and your pals should swing by for some fun. You know, food, movies, drinks, name it."
I looked at him, searching for some ulterior motive, but I found none. "Yeah, I'll talk it over with the guys," I said, though I half-heartedly had no intention of doing it.
"Thanks bro," Miz said, flashing a cheesy smile. "Hope to see you there."
I noticed his eyes linger on my backside for a little longer than necessary, and I made sure to take note of it as he slowly turned away and went back to his table.
A short while later, I sat down at my table looking distraught, so immediately, everyone's attention darted to me.
"What's wrong, John?" asked Eve, her beautiful eyes glistening with worry.
"Well, it's kind of crazy," I began, not looking at anyone in particular, "Mike invited us to a party at his place next weekend."
Daniel's face turned for the worse. "Just out of the blue?"
"Yeah," I replied. "I was just in the restroom and he came up to me and told me."
Everyone was quiet for a while.
"Well, are you going?" piped up Gail, breaking the silence.
"Should we?" I asked, more to Randy than anyone else. Randy gave me a mixed look and shrugged.
"Hey, it's a party, it couldn't be that bad," said Gail.
What's gotten into her? I asked myself.
"I kinda agree with Gail there," Beth said, taking another bite of her Northern Lights steak. "It's not like he's trying anything. He knows I'll knock his teeth out," she added, showing her fist for emphasis.
"He's probably trying to embarrass us," Evan said. I could tell he was still pissed off at me since he refused to even look in my direction, but I surely didn't care. "He's been a jerk since grade school. I doubt he's changed just based on a party invitation."
"What more could he do?" said Gail, receiving looks from all of us. She noticed this and added, "From what I hear, he's done just about everything in the book to you guys."
Before I could question how Gail could even add her thoughts to this conversation, Daniel stated his thoughts. "Gail's got a point, guys. We've kinda created a tolerance of sorts to his high jinks."
I shrugged and gave in. "Well, if all of you are up for it, I don't suppose why not. What about you, Eve?"
Eve looked at me with her sincere eyes and said, "I guess. I don't have a good feeling about it, but hey, it could be fun, right?" She flashed one of her quick smiles.
A while later after we finished our food, Miz came by the table.
"Yeah, we're going," I told him, knowing what he wanted.
"Great!" he clapped his hands together. "I'm glad you five will be attending."
"Five?" I asked. "Then…"
"Right you are, Johnny, it's only for you and your four pals. I wouldn't want someone like Randy interrupting the fun things we'll be doing," he said in a face that I couldn't read. "Can't wait! I'll fill you in on all the details later." With that, he left.
"Good, we won't have to see somebody and Balto fucking each other's brains out," Evan spat, leaving the table in a huff and exiting the restaurant.
I handed some money to Eve and grabbed Randy. "Thanks for the catching up, guys, I really appreciated it. But me and Randy have something to get done," I said angrily and hastily, leaving the restaurant as well.
As Randy drove the two of us around, I thought heavily to myself. I fucking hated Evan right now. I didn't even want to think of the jackass right now, but I couldn't stop, I was too angry. What's he got against me and Randy being together? I know he knows about Randy's secret, but that doesn't mean he can just act like he did in the restaurant…
After eating at the steakhouse, I decided I'd go and stock up on groceries since I was practically out and my parents left me some money just in case. Once we got back to the house, Randy and I watched a couple of movies before deciding to go up to bed.
I sat up writing in my journal while Randy was in the shower. He finished much faster than I expected, and I nearly tossed my journal across the room when I heard him approaching me.
"Afraid you'll have nightmares again, babe?" Randy asked with genuine concern, probably caused by the flustered look on my face. I was distracted, however, by his shirtless form, and all that came out was meaningless babble.
"Randy, I can't talk to you if you're standing in front of me with no shirt on," I complained. "It's not fair game."
"I'm sorry, is it too hot in here for you?" he replied, his smirk appearing on his face.
"It is, to be honest. Mind stepping out so I can, you know, breathe?" I was being half-serious.
"Well if it's hard for you to breathe now…" Randy walked up to face me directly. "…than this will suffocate you."
I barely could get "What do you-," out before he started kissing me, taking me to that nirvana-like state.
"I love you, Johnny," he said, releasing the kiss.
"I love you too, Randy," I replied, letting him hold me as we laid down together to go to sleep.
The figure from the previous night outside John's house stood there once more, only this time with another figure.
"Soon, my dear, our mission will be complete."
"I cannot contain my excitement, master."
"I hope those two have…enjoyed their playtime…for soon, the human will be mine,"
"And the mutt…"
"Will be…put down…"
The two figures laughed evilly and disappeared into the dark, ominous night, completely unsuspected by the two lovers inhabiting the house.
