Chapter 25
In the Car
After the WWE Security went to the room, they ask her many questions, but Denise was too shaking up to respond to any of the questions. John decided to take her to his home in West Newbury because they were about 2hr away.
"Do you want to go back to the hotel?" said John
"Felix, I just want to be safe." Said Denise.
"You'll be safe with me… would you like to go to my home?" said John.
"I just want to be with you, its doesn't matter where we go, I just want to be with you because you make me feel safe and relieved", said Denise.
Both superstars sat in the car very silently. John turned on the air conditioner and radio on. He reached his hand back to the backseat and took out his blanket.
"Denise are you cold?" said John.
She nodded yes.
At a stop light, he wrapped her with his blanket that his mom made him. On the radio, TLC's Unpretty played.
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Denise started to sing along with the music as she looked at the stars and the racing lights in the sky.
"Every time I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
at the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'"
John felt so sorry for his best friend. All that kept running through his mind was if he came in one second late, Apollo would have rape her. She would have been scorned for life. She would have left the WWE and he would miss her so much. John had so much sorrow and remorse in his eyes while she was so terrify and shocked in her eyes. John looked over at Denise and she was silently crying. He felt powerless because he couldn't
help her. John placed his hand on her hand. She turned and lipped thank you.
"Are you okay?" said John.
"Yeah," said Denise.
"I talk to Vince, and he's fired and charged. James used to be so different. I can't believe him!" said John.
Once again they sat in silence. Denise fell asleep while John drove home. They got to his house in West Newbury, Ma.
"Denise, wake up. Come on we're here," said John. John and Denise walked toward the house. "Denise, now I haven't been in this house in like 2 months so, it might be a just a little bit dusty and cold. But if you give me a couple of minutes, I'll have food, clothes and other things for you." Denise nodded yes.
John and Denise went into the cold house. He went into the living room and she followed. She then asked where his bathroom was and he pointed to it. He lit the fireplace, and made some soup. He went into his room and got some blankets and clothes for her to switch into. The room was starting to get nice and toasty. John put a blanket in front of the fireplace. He lit the scent candles around the room. John also turned the radio on to
an R&B/Neo-soul station Aaliyah's I care for you" was playing.
"Hey my baby
Why you lookin so down?
Seems like you need lovin"
Denise walked down the steps, and saw John running around trying to make everything perfect. A smile crept on her face.
"Felix, what the hell are you doing?" said Denise.
"Well if you're going to use my middle name then I'll use yours Janet. I'm trying to make you feel comfortable in this cold house," said John.
"Well it looks nice. I brought the first aid from the bathroom," said Denise.
John and Denise sat in front of the fireplace.
"John, will you hold me?" said Denise.
Denise curled up into John arms; she could feel the tightness of his arms around her, smothering her with his love. They sat there eating creamy soup, and admiring the sparks in the fire.
"John, Can I take a shower?" said Denise.
"Yeah, I have some clothes for you and I'll order some food okay because this soup isn't good enough. " said John.
"Okay then, I'll be right back," said Denise
30 minutes later.
John approached the bathroom and heard Denise crying over the sounds of the water.
"Denise, are you okay?" screamed John.
She emotionally said "Yes!"
"I will always be here for you!" said John.
"Hold on!" she said.
The water stopped, Denise got dressed and opened the door.
"Are you okay?" said John.
"I just needed to cry," said Denise. John and Denise hugged.
"Well I order Chinese food! Let's go pig out at 4am!" said John.
Denise started to laugh.
