John POV
I had stayed the night at Kofi and Mickie's; I was still shocked at Jodi didn't marry Dave. I wanted to talk to her and tell her that it was going to be alright. I was still there when Mickie got back; she said that Jodi wasn't doing great. I ate breakfast with them and left to go home. I don't know why, but I ended up at Jodi's. I sat in the truck for a minute before walking to the front door; I finally rang the door bell.
She appeared a minute later in a sports bra and track pants; she looked good. I just looked at her; she didn't look happy.
"Did you come to stare or tell me told ya so?" she asked me and it brought me back to the real world.
"No, actually, I wanted to see if you needed someone to talk to." I said and she smirked.
"Nope, I'm good. I remember that you weren't too good at talking or explaining your feelings." She said and I sighed.
"Well…" I was saying.
"I'm working out…" she said and started to shut the door. I stopped her and walked inside.
"Good, I can be a workout partner." I said and followed her to what should have been the guest house; she had converted it into a workout room with mats for sparing. I took my shirt and shoes off; I was ready when she looked at me.
"Let's work on takedowns." She said and I agreed.
We were sparring and she caught me across my mouth and jaw; she just smiled at me.
"Oops." She said and I sighed.
"Alright, I deserve that." I said and she shrugged.
We went back to grappling and sparring when she shit me again.
"My bad, guess your reflexes are getting slow Cena." She said and I hated it when she called me by my last name.
"Fine." I said and I slammed her to the mat. She gasped in shock and looked at me; I hoped that I didn't hurt her.
"I'm sorry, I just…" I said and she slid out from underneath me. I sighed as I heard the door shut behind me.
"Way to go John!" I said to myself and sighed. I walked outside and she was sitting in the swing.
I walked over to her and sat down; she didn't get up and she wouldn't look at me. I scooted closer as I saw her wipe away tears; I felt like an idiot. I put my arm around her and pulled her to me; she fell into me and buried her head in my chest.
"It's ok." I told her as I pulled her into my lap. I just held her and rubbed her back; I let her cry.
"I'm sorry that I was an ass." I told her after a little while.
"Me too." She said and I looked at her.
"I really am sorry that Dave turned out to be an asshole." I said and she nodded. I sighed and put my finger under her chin; I made her look at me. I didn't want to see tears coming out of her eyes and I wanted to hurt Dave for hurting her. I was looking in her eyes when I couldn't help it. I brushed my lips over hers and she sighed.
Jodi POV
I was sitting in John's lap when he kissed me. I had wanted to kiss him for a long time, but I knew that it was wrong. He was with Liz and after having Dave hurt me I didn't want John to hurt her.
"No, John, you have Liz." I said and walked inside. I had walked away from John twice today and I felt bad both times I had done that. I was standing in the kitchen when I felt John walk up behind me and put his arms on either side of me. I looked over my shoulder to see him looking at me with his baby blue eyes.
"John, you can't hurt Liz." I whispered and he sighed. He placed his forehead on my shoulder and stepped closer to me.
"I know, but baby, I want you." he said and I chuckled.
"Yeah, one good fuck is that it?" I asked him and turned to look at him. He was upset looking at me; he turned me around to look at him.
"No, you are much more to me that one fuck. You are what I want in a woman and what I want for the rest of my life." He pleaded to me.
"Well, then I guess we have crappy timing." I said and he looked frustrated.
"Look, John, I just got out of whatever I had with Dave and you were happy with Liz while I was with Dave. You can't just drop her because I am single. I mean if you are really happy then you need to stay with her. You can't just string her along." I said and he leaned his forehead against mine.
"I know…" he said as he leaned into kiss me and I put my hand up.
"John, no, stop." I said and he turned away from me.
"I'm sorry, I will see you later." He said.
"I invited Mickie and Kofi over for dinner tomorrow night, why don't you and Liz come? I am also going to call Matt to see if he wants to come." I said and he smiled.
"Alright, what do you want us to bring?" he asked me.
"Just drinks. Mickie is getting dessert." I said and he nodded.
He left and I called Matt. I had already talked to Mickie and she thought it was a good idea. Matt was up for it and I was glad. I knew that Phil was at Joe's and he was only about an hour away from my house. I invited him Joe, and Joe's wife. Joe and I got along great since I had helped them pull that prank on Phil.
I worked on storylines that night and I was getting ready to go to bed when my phone rang; it was Athena. I talked to her for a long time before going to sleep. I had to go to the store tomorrow to get ready for the dinner party I was having. I knew that Matt would show up early because he wanted to; I didn't mind.
Matt POV
I was glad that Jodi had called me; I hadn't really hung out with her since she started dating Dave. Dave controlled her more than most of us liked. I pulled up and walked inside; Jodi was in the kitchen.
"Hey!" she said and hugged me.
"Hey, thanks for the invite. I brought alcohol." I told her and she laughed at me.
She showed me around the house and finished the casserole she was cooking. She got done and we went to sit in the living room. I really liked her house.
"So where's Dave?" I asked her.
"Oh, um, I broke it off." She said and I felt like an idiot for asking.
"Sorry." I said and she laughed.
"Don't be; I'm not." She said and I smiled.
We were talking when everyone else got there; I was glad to see Joe and his wife.
Phil POV
I was glad to see Jodi and I move glad to hear that she had left Dave. I had to do everything not to jump up and down for joy. She deserved so much better. I knew that I would talk to her about it later. I had fun with everyone that night and I noticed how John couldn't keep his eyes off Jodi. I normally would have been jealous, but I had Amy; I was happy with her.
We ate and were sitting outside on the patio, Jodi had a little firepit and it kept us all warm enough. We left around 11 pm that night and were heading back to Joe's.
"Jodi is really nice." Joe said and I agreed with him.
"Yeah, I am just glad that she is done with Dave." I said and they both laugh at me.
"Don't tell me that you are going to dump Amy and run to Jodi, are you?" Joe asked me.
"No, I am really happy with Amy." I said and he nodded. He probably only half believed me.
Liz POV
I was glad to see everyone and Jodi seemed happier now that she wasn't with Dave. I knew that John was glad that she wasn't with him. John and Jodi were very close, but I wasn't worried. Jodi was honest with me and I knew that she didn't like being cheated on. We had discussed cheating when Drew did it to her.
We all left around midnight and I was driving. John had drank a little too much.
"I am so glad that she is away from him." He slurred and I agreed. I had heard what Dave had done to her while they were dating. He was a prick and didn't deserve her.
"John?" I asked him.
"Yeah, Liz?" he replied.
"Are you going to dump me to date her?" I asked him and he looked at me shocked.
"What?" he asked me.
"Are you, John? I know that you have liked her since we dated after you broke it off with Mickie? I mean are you just delaying the inevitable with us?" I said and he sighed.
"Liz, you know I love you." he said.
"Yeah, but John you love her more." I said and I knew that I was right.
"No, I LOVE YOU!" He said and I was glad he was home because he was now upset about it.
"Alright, John, I'm sorry…" I was saying when he kissed me.
"Marry me." He whispered and I was taken back.
"What?" I asked him.
"Marry me; it should show you that I am serious about you." he said and I smiled.
"Yes." I said and he kissed me.
He pulled me inside and took out a box in his dresser. He pulled out a large diamond ring and slipped on my finger. I was surprised because it was the same ring that he had proposed to me with when we were in college. I kissed him and we fell asleep; I was happy.
Jodi POV
I fell asleep that night and I was ready to be back on the road. I was glad that my friends were here tonight and that I was over Dave. I knew that John and I had chemistry, but I was going to be a good friend and be happy for him and Liz. I just came to the realization that maybe I was supposed to be alone for the rest of my life.
A/n:Will John remember proposing? How will Jodi react? What will Jodi do when she sees Dave?
