1 Month Later
Savannah was so excited. She was finally off crutches, only wearing a walking boot. She got even better news though: RAW was taping in Tampa tonight, and she was going to be returning to work. The smile never left her face as she helped John pack his wrestling gear, as they would be leaving for the arena soon.
"You are truly excited to be going back at work, aren't you?" he asked.
"Absolutely. I have gotten so bored sitting around home. Grant it, Stephanie gave me some paperwork to look over and had me start brain storming some ideas, but I guess I'm just excited to get out of the house."
"Are you excited about anything else?" he asked, sticking his lower lip out.
Savannah walked to the other side of the bed, and wrapping her arms around John's waist. "Of course, I think I am excited to see you back in action the most," she said smiling.
"I was hoping you would say that," he told her as he leaned down to kiss her. "Its going to be good to have you traveling with me again. I get bored without you."
Soon after, John was done packing for the upcoming road trip, and were soon on their way to the arena. "Babe, I have an idea," John said as he took Savannah's hand.
"What's that?"
"How about I stop by your office a little while before my match, and we can look at the next couple of months schedules and finally set a wedding date."
Savannah leaned over and kissed John's cheek. "I love that idea!"
About a half hour later, they pulled into the parking lot, and walked hand in hand inside. Within minutes, they first ran into one of Savannah's good friends, Mickie James.
"OH MY GOD!" she screamed as she literally ran and hugged Savannah. "I didn't know you were coming back! How are you?"
"Getting better every day!" Savannah said beaming. "Within a few weeks, this walking boot should be off, and hopefully one day I will be back to normal."
John just stood there as the two women caught up, laughing to himself as he literally disappeared out of the equation. He finally put his hand on his fiance's shoulder, as she stopped talking.
"I'm sorry John. We didn't forget you were here," she said smiling.
"That's ok. Listen, I am going to go put my stuff away and check to see what's going on. Don't forget, we are going to talk later!," he said as he kissed her cheek.
"Don't worry, I will be there."
"Alright. Bye ladies," he said as he walked off.
The girls both told him good bye, and then linked arms as they started walking toward Savannah's office. "So, John sounded pretty excited you guys are going to talk later. Anything in particular?" Mickie hinted.
"Well, we are going to look at the schedules and finally set a wedding date!"
"Yeah," the bubbely superstar said. "That is great."
"I also want you to be a bridesmaid," Savannah told her. "You have to be up there with me!"
"I will of course be a bridesmaid. I couldn't say no," she said smiling.
A little while later, Savannah was sitting on the couch, typing on her laptop when she heard a knock on the door. She was kind of surprised to see her visitor.
"Hi," he said softly.
"Hi Cody," she said with a half smile, standing up. "What can I do for you?"
"Well, I overheard Mickie say you were back. I just wanted to come and say hi...and you know, welcome back."
"Thanks," Savannah said shyly. Even though she was engaged to the most wonderful man in the world, she couldn't deny how handsome Cody still was.
They were silent for another brief moment as she heard another knock on the door. When John walked in, he was suprised to see the both of them together. "What's going on?" he asked.
"Nothing," Cody told him. "I heard that Savannah was back at work, so I wanted to tell her welcome back," he said as he walked toward the door, and then stopping. "By the way, I heard that you guys are engaged. Congratulations...and John, you have a great girl. Be sure to take care of her."
John only nodded as the two of them watched Cody leave the room. Once he was gone, John turned his attention back to Savannah. "Was that all he was in here for? He didn't try anything did he?"
"Of course not," Savannah said as she playfully slapped his chest, and then pulling him closer. "You are the one one I want to spend my life with. You are the man I want to marry. Speaking of getting married, let me pull out the schedules."
John took a seat on the couch, and Savannah sat closely next to him. They were comparing dates, and one in particular seemed perfect. "How about January 1st? It's a new year, and a new start for the both of us."
"Its perfect," Savannah said smiling. "You do realize that is only like 5 months away, right?"
"Yeah, that is fine," he said smiling. "By the way...I want to apologize for what I said once Cody left. Its just the thought of losing you drives me crazy."
Savannah smiled, as she snuggled into John's side even closer, wrapping her arms around him. "You aren't going to lose me. I'm not going anywhere."
"Good, I like the sound of that," John said smiling.
