Ch. 11: the truth
Serena's pov
I was walking backstage as randy and I had just got done. I was almost to the divas locker room when I heard my name being called behind me. I stopped and turned to see who was call my name. And sure enough it was randy.
Hey Serena" he said as he caught up to me. I could tell he was still catching his breath "hi Randal". I said with a smile. I started continue walking I noticed randy was following. We started to make small talk until something he said caught my attention." What are you doing tomorrow morning?" he asked in a rather curious tone. I quietly thought to myself for a minute before simply replying "nothing"
I watched d as a small smile came across his face." Well since you not doing anything I was wondering if you wouldn't mind joining me for breakfast tomorrow." On the inside I couldn't believe what he just said. Was randy asking me out on a date? This was a surprise.
Without looking at him I said." Is the viper asking me out on a date? I heard him chuckle as I felt his eyes watching me." You can take that any way you want to "he said. We had finally reached the divas locker room. I put my hand on the doorknob but before I opened the door I turned around to face randy and said. "Well since I'm not doing anything tomorrow morning I guess I'll be seeing you for breakfast tomorrow.'
I watched as that small smile came back on his face. "It's a date" he said with a wink. I let a smile come across my face as I felt my cheeks get a little hot. Randy and I said our goodbyes and I opened the door and got ready to go.
Jon's pov
I knew Serena Had just got done and she was probably getting ready to go. I stayed after so that we could ride back to the hotel together. After all we are rooming together.
I was walking the hall minding my own business when I looked up to see randy coming my way. I got angry as I thought of what randy had told Serena, I knew he was up to something and that something wasn't well.
Randy and I were getting closer to each other. I watched him looked up at me and smirk. As randy and I walked right pass each other randy shoulder bumped me making me stumble a little. Randy continued to walk as I heard a chuckle escape his mouth. By this time I had stopped walking and I was pissed.
I turned around and said" Hey Randal, you thought that was cute huh?" that got Randy's attention. He let out a chuckle before turning around "what are you talking about Jon?" he asked in an innocent tone. He knew exactly what he did. Or more like what he was doing.
"You know Dam well what you're doing. " I said as I started to walk toward Randal. I watch as he folded his arms and the smirk appeared on his face." Something is saying this about more then what just happened." He said as he walked toward me.
"You stay the hell away from Serena" I said in a demanding tone. He let out a chuckle." So this is what this is about he said as the smirk grew on his face " your no good for her so I suggest whatever it is that you have planned ends before I put a end to it". I could tell that he was rather amused with what I had just said. He walked closer to me.
"So you want me to stay away from Serena" he said as he continued to walk closer. We were now face to face." Aww does Jon have a little crush on Serena he teased. "I don't think I'll be staying away from her, besides I have breakfast date with her tomorrow morning and that would be pretty rude of me if I didn't show up"
The moment the used the words Date and Serena in the same sentence was enough to send me over the edge. I pushed randy up against the wall I balled up my fist and was getting ready to punch him square in the face when all of a sudden my phone started to ring. I looked at Randal with a serious face and said "stay away from her" before I shoved him and walked away.
As I walked away I pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked at my phone to see it was Serena Who was calling me. I quickly answered.
Hey Rena. I said trying not to sound angry. "Hiya Jon" she said .the minute I heard her voice I started to calm down a little bit." Quick question aren't you still here" she asked "yea I am need a ride" I asked I stared walking to the parking lot "year I do actually. I'm already in the parking lot" "cool I'll see you in two minutes" "awesome. See you two she said and with that she hung up.
I finally made my way to the parking lot and sure enough Serena was waiting for me. We packed our stuff in the car and drove off.

Serena' pov
Jon and I had arrived at the hotel about 10 minutes ago. The ride to the hotel was pretty quiet. Surprisingly Jon was pretty quiet the whole ride. It seemed like he was pretty, angry.
I was currently in the bathroom taking off my makeup. And I was thinking about tomorrow morning. I thought back to Randal's an I's conversation there was absolutely no way that was starting to like randy... was there? I needed somebody to talk to about this whole Randal situation with and maybe Jon could help.
"hey Jon' I said loud enough for him to hear me. "Yea?" I heard him reply. "So this whole situation with randy is getting interesting. Randy asked me to go have breakfast with him tomorrow". I looked back at the mirror and continued to take off my makeup.
I didn't hear Jon say anything. All of a sudden I heard something hit the wall hard. I peeked my head out of the bathroom door. "Jon?' my eyes scanned the room and sure enough I found him he was still sitting on the couch staring at the TV. I finished taking off my makeup and I put my hair in a ponytail. I turned off the bathroom light and exit the bathroom. I went and took a seat right next to Jon. "Jon are you ok?"
Jon remained silent and didn't bother to look my way. I had never seen Jon like this before and I had to admit it was pretty scary. I looked over the floor and saw the remote in pieces. I heard footsteps moving away from me. I quickly turned my attention to the footsteps to see Jon leaving the room. Jon ignoring me was really starting to make me angry. So I followed Jon.
I was leaning up against the wall with the arms folded. I was watching Jon get his duffle bag and started to put inside." Jon what's you problem?' I asked with an attitude. Jon Chuckled as he continued to put his stuff in his bag." You really want to know what's wrong with me, don't you Serena?' he asked
I could hear the sarcastic tone in his voice which only made me angrier." Well I would want to know considering the fact that the remote is now in pieces" Jon continued to ignore me. That was it I hated being ignored that was my last straw. "Jon what the hell is your problem? He finally stopped putting his stuff in his bag and turned to me.
"What's my problem, you want to know what my problem is Serena?" "Then I'll tell you what my problem is." "My problem is that you're going out to breakfast with a manipulating, self- centered asshole."
I was pretty surprised. I never heard Jon talk about randy like this "so you're angry that I'm going out with randy tomorrow?" Jon starting putting stuff in his bag again. He didn't answer my question. "Why in the world does me going out with randy make you so angry?" Jon had now zipped up his duffel bag and was now walking to the door. I followed Jon as he was right by the door. "Jon I said in a calm yet agitated tone he was still ignoring me. I was beyond mad now. Jon placed his duffle bag down.
'Jon what's your issue with me going out with randy tomorrow and why do you care so much. I yelled at him. He looked at me with a angry face and yelled
"I liked you Serena … I like you a lot ok...
There was now an Eire silence in the room. Jon and I were staring each other down. I didn't know what to say. I never knew Jon felt this way about me. Jon turned around slowly and placed his hand on the door. He picked up his duffle bag and opened the door. He walked out the door with his duffle bag on his shoulder and closed the door.
I was speechless. I was now in a hotel room all by myself and all these thoughts going thru my head. I didn't know what to do.

Closing the door to Serena and I's room I just wanted to go back and apologies to her. I knew this was going to happen. I had had enough of Randal today and Serena talking about him sent me over the edge. Nut on thing was for sure. That was not the way that pictured telling Serena about how I felt about her.
I knocked on Colby and Joe's door. Within a few seconds Joe opened the door."" What are you doing here and why did you bring your duffle bag?" I sighed loudly and walked into the room. Colby turned his attention from the TV to me." Jon what are you doing her? I looked at him" it's a long story" "well we got time said Colby as I watched him put his hand thru his
10 minutes later
I told Colby and Joe everything that happed" well you know you have to apologize " yea I know but I figured that we need sometime apart, to cool off. So I figured I'd crash her I said as I looked at them and with that we finished our conversation. I really hope Serena was going to be ok. Beside I'll go apologize to her in the morning.

The next morning
I was already dressed for the breakfast I was going to have with randy. I was currently putting my hair up in a ponytail when there was a knock on the door. I went to get the door. When I opened the door there was Jon on the other side. We stood there awkwardly for a few seconds before I invited him in. as I closed the door I knew this conversation was going to be interesting.

Serena and I were in our hotel room awkwardly. In silence. This was definitely not the way I wanted to start my day. My thought were interrupted by Serena closing the door. I turned to Serena and observed her. She was wearing there teal color skinny jeans and a white ruffled shirt. Which I had to admit she looked hot.
I shook my head as I erased my thoughts .Serena was now sitting on the couch... So I decided to take a seat next to her we both sat there awkwardly for what felt like forever.
So we both said in unison we stopped and looked at each other. For the first time since the fight I saw a smile on Serena's face she had a million dollar smile.

I looked at Jon as he had a smile on his face. I could help but smile. I was about to speak when Jon said maybe I should go first" he took the words right out of my mouth. I nodded my head giving Jon the go ahead to speak.
He got up and started pacing before he began to speak.
"About yesterday I'm so sorry for making you so angry. It's just that I couldn't listen you talk about somebody who doesn't deserve you" he paused" "Serena I liked you since the first time I laid eyes on you". "Your beautiful, kind funny, hell you're perfect." He chuckled. "I didn't know how to tell you how I felt because I was nervous of your reaction." "Normally I wouldn't be nervous to tell a woman how I feel but you, you're different". "But I totally understand if you don't feel the same way because I'm a total prick but"-
I got up from the couch and stood right in front of Jon I brought my lips to Jon as we kissed I could feel the sparks.
As we broke the kiss I looked at Jon "what was that for" Jon asked still surprised that I kissed him "I had to shut you up, you were starting to ramble" I told him as he chuckled. He smiled revealing his dimple. Jon and I continued to gaze into each other eyes. That was until my phone started to ring.
I looked back up at Jon and then my phone. Jon knew who it was that was calling. His eyes were filled with jealously. Once my phone stopped ringing I pulled away from Jon "I guess I should get going" I said in a low voice "yea" was all Jon said.
I started to make my way to the door when I stopped. I turned around and made my way back over to Jon before kissing him on the lips for the second time. I broke the kiss and looked at Jon the jealousy in his eyes were replaced with happiness as he smiled.
I then turned around and made my way to the door. I opened the door and turned to Jon to see him smiling. I let a small smile creep across my face before saying goodbye to Jon and with that I closed the door….
