Here's another chapter of At Your Service.
Another short one, but there's some drama coming...
I own Magda.
Thanks to all who read, reviewed, etc.
Magda followed Melina down the hall and into the kitchen, taking a seat on one of the stools at the breakfast bar. The Portuguese diva sighed and held her head in her hands. She was full of nerves now that she was here. John was only a couple of rooms away from her now. Her mind was racing with what she would say or do when she actually saw him face to face.
"From the beginning." Melina nodded.
"Well, John turned up at my place and just came out with it that he loved me." Magda explained.
"And what did you say to him?" Melina asked.
"I couldn't speak. I was shocked, but as it started to sink in I realised that I felt the same way." Magda replied.
"Was it romantic?" the California native asked.
"At first. Then things got pretty…heated." The Portuguese diva blushed.
"And what happened after that?" Melina asked.
"I woke up and John wasn't there, so I went to find him and there he was with Ted." Magda explained.
"How did Ted get there?" Melina raised a brow.
"You tell me. Anyway, he called and John answered the door." The Portuguese diva sighed.
"Ted must have been surprised to see John there." Melina shrugged.
"He was. Especially cause me and John weren't exactly fully dressed." Magda nodded.
"Absolutely. Continue…" Melina nodded.
"I thought that Ted deserved an explanation, so I went to his hotel to see him. He started getting upset and he asked me if I would stay with him for a while…" Magda started.
Meanwhile, Ted was ready to head back to the hotel after a match. He picked up his bag and headed towards the rental car, finding an enraged Maryse sitting in the car beside it. The French Canadian frowned at him and got out of the car. Ted sighed, anticipating a confrontation, but was surprised when the platinum blonde gave a smirk and showed no signs of slapping him. The son of the Million Dollar Man gave a confused frown and folded his arms defensively.
"What do you want Maryse?" he sighed.
"Funny you should ask that…" she giggled.
"Go on then. I don't have all night." Ted nodded impatiently.
"You have something that I want. You wanted Magda, but that didn't happen. I would like nothing more than to slap the smile off her face…" Maryse smirked.
"I said I didn't have all night." Ted frowned.
"Ok, let's cut to the chase. I'll help you to get revenge on Magda and John. In return, I want money." Maryse told him.
"How much?" Ted asked her.
"Mm, about $25,000 should do nicely." The French Canadian replied with a smirk.
"You're serious about this?" Ted raised a brow.
"I'm always serious where money is concerned." Maryse chuckled and flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"Deal." Ted nodded and extended his hand.
"It was nice doing business with you. I'll be in touch." The platinum blonde nodded as she shook his hand.
"Great." Ted nodded and got into his rental car.
John rolled over in the bed as he woke up and figured out where he was. He had asked Melina to pick him up from the airport. Looking around the room, he recognised it as his ex girlfriend's bedroom. The Shaman of Sexy could hear hushed voices in the kitchen as he yawned and slipped out of the bed. He was still dressed, so he just opened the bedroom door and walked down the hall to the kitchen.
"Melina?" he called out.
"In the kitchen." She replied.
John stopped in his tracks as he spotted Magda sitting there. She looked tired, like she had probably been crying. His heart immediately ached for her as he realised how hasty he had been in leaving without any explanations. He pushed a strand of his brown hair behind his ear and walked slowly over to where the Portuguese diva was sitting. Magda couldn't bring herself to meet his gaze, so he gently lifted her chin and stroked her face tenderly.
"I'm so sorry. I should never have left like that." John whispered.
"I'm sorry too. I should have known that Ted would be lying again." Magda replied.
"Don't cry." John frowned as tiny droplets appeared in Magda's eyes.
"I can't help it. I thought I'd blown it." Magda sniffed as the hot tears stung her eyes.
"You didn't blow it. I'm still here." John said as he wiped away the tears with his thumbs.
"I love you Hennigan." Magda sighed.
"I love you too Pedrosa." John smiled down at her.
"I'm going out for groceries. You two need some time alone." Melina smiled.
"Thanks." They both replied.
"So, can we put this in the past and move on?" John asked Magda.
"I'd love that." She smiled and nodded.
"In that case…" John lifted her to her feet and leaned down to kiss her.
"Wow…that was nice." Magda said breathlessly when they broke apart.
"There'll be plenty more of those." John smiled and moved in for another kiss.
Ted sat in the hotel room with a note written by Maryse. He had a phone call to make.
"Hello, this is Ted DiBiase. I need a change to the storyline…I'll pay to make it happen. Just get everything else sorted." Ted nodded and put the phone down.
