Chapter 29: Ready or Not
*Author's Note: Yay! Morrison is the World Heavyweight Champion and Katona is the Women's Champion (in this story, of course)! I am in need of motivation from your lovely reviews, people, and so far I've barely gotten any reviews even though I publish chapters regularly. I kinda feel really disappointed at this, and that kind of puts down my motivation to write more…*
…so keep the reviews coming because I know there are totally awesome people out there like violentkisses20 :)
September 28th, 2010: Annapolis, Maryland
I glared at my phone as the alarm went off, frustrated that it had interrupted me from one of the best dreams I have ever had in my life. I dreamed that John and I were all alone on an island resort, making out on the beach like there was no tomorrow. Before I had realized it, one thing led to another, and in my dream, the make out had turned into a hot, steamy, passionate love-making session. In the dream, John was completely shirtless, whilst I was about to strip off all of my clothes until the dreaded alarm that signaled morning went off. So much for a sexual fantasy with the man whom you're insanely in love with at the moment.
I felt John shift behind me after I grabbed my phone and turned off the frustratingly annoying alarm. I turned and looked at John, who appeared to be still asleep. A smile spread across my face as I watched John, asleep so peacefully like that. I loved watching him like this. I loved waking up next to him and having him hold me in his arms. I love him.
John fluttered his eyes open and smiled once he saw me. "Good morning, love," he whispered, bringing a hand from my waist to caress my cheek gently.
"Good morning, Johnny," I replied back.
"Have I ever told you how beautiful you look waking up next to me?" said John softly, slowly getting up, still keeping his hand on my cheek and his other arm around me. He took my hand and pulled me up, and propped me on top of him so that our chests were touching and I was lying on top of him. John took my face in his hands and laid a tender kiss on my lips.
"Guess what's happening soon, love," said John.
"What?"
"Your birthday's coming."
"So is yours," I replied.
"I asked first, love," said John cheekily, kissing me softly once again. He released it again and asked, "whatever you want for your birthday, love, I'll do it for you. Well, except for going to the moon. Unfortunately I don't have the space ship nor do I have permission from the government to do so."
I laughed and leaned in to kiss him again. He is too much.
"You don't have to bring me to the moon for my birthday, John," I laughed, "I'm perfectly fine with anything."
"But it's your 21st birthday, love. You have to do something special," said John, stroking his hands up and down my back.
"Like what?"
"Like a party or something at a restaurant or nightclub, although I know you don't like clubs," suggested John.
"I don't know," I replied, "maybe I'll do something with the girls or something like that."
"And what about me?" teased John.
"Don't worry John, you and I can do something special together," I said, deciding to tease him a bit and lifted up his t-shirt to stroke those heavenly abs of his.
"Miss Katharyn, are you trying to seduce me?" teases John, bringing his hand up my shorts and moving his hand up and down my leg.
"Not for now, Mr. Hennigan," I teased back, kissing his six-pack. Suddenly, John pulled me in and brought our lips together for a fiery kiss. I moaned when he slipped his hand underneath my panties and onto my bare butt and squeezed it slightly. I broke off the kiss when John's hands moved up my tank top and began running his fingers over my cleavage.
"I'm sorry love, you're just so tempting," said John, smiling. I raised an eyebrow and he chuckled, kissing me sweetly on the lips once again.
"Anyway," I continued, adjusting my shorts, "I want to ask you something. Since your birthday's coming sooner than mine, what would you like for your birthday?"
John brought his head to the side of my neck, leaving a trail of kisses up to my ear, where he whispered, "You."
"But you already have me," I replied, rubbing his neck as he kept his mouth moving down to my collarbone, and then up to the other side of my neck, where he licked and sucked on it. John tilted his head up and kissed my cheek before moving his face back in front of mine. He rested his forehead against mine, our noses nuzzling. I looked into his twinkling brown eyes and giggled.
"All I want is you, love," he whispered gently, laying a sweet little kiss onto my lips, "even though you're already my beautiful girlfriend, all I want, and everything that I want revolves around you." He said against my lips.
I let go of the kiss and looked at him skeptically. "John, honesty, what do you want for your birthday?"
"I already told you, love. I only want you. I don't want anything else. I don't just want you for my birthday. I want you for every single day of my life," said John lovingly, caressing my cheeks with his thumbs, "I love you, Katharyn."
"I love you too, John, but you need to brush your teeth," I laughed, getting off of him and rolling off the bed. John chuckled and got up, grabbing my waist from behind and pulling me close so that my back was touching his muscular front torso. I let out a giggle as John moved my hair aside to expose my neck, where he placed gentle, affectionate kisses and occasionally nibbled on it. His hands roamed all over my body, one hand creeping underneath my top and the other one slipping onto my butt. Soon, he turned my head so that I was facing him. I held onto his neck and leaned in for a kiss…
Knock, knock, knock!
Just at the moment John and I were about to kiss, someone HAD to interrupt us. John sighed in frustration and went to answer the door, not before kissing me lightly on the lips. I walked over to the bathroom to clean up and change and before I shut the bathroom door, I heard John answer the door to his good friend Matt Hardy.
John's POV
I was just getting started with my beautiful girlfriend until the door HAD to be knocked on to interrupt our hot little session. Gee, thanks a lot, Matt. Way to interrupt my hot little session with the most gorgeous woman in the universe.
"Were you busy, Hennigan?" asked Matt skeptically, raising an eyebrow and looking past me. I think he was looking at Katharyn, "sorry if I interrupted something important, man."
"Don't mention it," I replied, obviously not amused.
"Hey man, I need to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Your birthday's coming up, and I was wondering what me, Truth, and Jason can do for you on that day," said Matt, "unless you've got plans with your girl…"
"I'm not sure yet, Matt," I replied, "I mean I'm planning on spending my birthday with Katharyn since our birthdays are really close to each other's, but it's cool if you and the boys want to take me out somewhere. I don't mind, really."
"Man, it'll be your birthday. You decide what you want to do," said Matt, nodding his head, "anyway Jason was looking for you. He needs help in planning out the perfect date for his girl, and since you were able to win the heart of the most beautiful Diva in the WWE, you're the perfect person to turn to for romance advice."
"Tell him I'll be there after breakfast," I replied, "see you later, Matt."
"You too, homey," said Matt, walking off. I closed the door and shook my head to myself. It's funny how Jason's the one asking me for advice on how to impress his new girlfriend when he was the guy I turned to for relationship advice
I turned around just in time, as Katharyn had walked out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a lacy red push-up bra and denim shorts. I licked my lips and took a step towards her. She backed away, her smile screaming a tease. I kept walking towards her until I had her cornered against the wall. I took her thigh and lifted it up, massaging it with one hand whilst the other fisted against the wall next to her head. I looked straight into her sparkling blue green eyes.
"So, what happened?" asked Katharyn softly.
"Nothing much," I replied, "Matt said Jason was looking for me so I could help him plan out the perfect date for him and Tiffany. Matt claims that I'm an expert of romance."
"Well you did make me fall in love with you as we grew closer and closer as friends, and you did take me out to the baseball game I wanted to go to so badly," she pointed out, cupping her hand on my cheek and stroking it, "not to mention that extremely romantic date you took me out on when we were in Los Angeles."
"Love, I'm not an expert of romance, but I'm trying to be an expert of satisfying you in any way you'd like," I replied, bringing my face closer to hers. "Now where were we?" I asked enticingly, before meeting her lips for a passionate kiss.
September 28th, 2010: What to Do?
Tonight we had double Smackdown tapings for this Friday as well as the next one, so John and I arrived early at the arena to get ready to run through our scripts and storylines. I still didn't know what to do for his birthday. I had decided to discuss this with my bestie Nattie whilst we changed into our ring attire in the Divas locker room.
"Nattie, I have absolutely no clue what to get for John's birthday," I said.
"Did you ask him what he wanted?" asked Nattie.
"I did, and the only thing he would ever say is that he wants me for his birthday, but he already has me, so why would he still say that he wants me for his birthday?" I asked. I found it rather odd that John wanted me, and only me, for his birthday even though I was already officially his girlfriend.
Suddenly, Nattie appeared to have thought of a brilliant idea, because her face brightened up and she looked up.
"Light bulb!" said Nattie happily. In other words, this meant that she had a great idea. Nattie skipped over to where I was putting on my top and took both of my hands.
"I have the most brilliant idea ever," exclaimed Nattie, "you know that hot little number from Frederick's of Hollywood John got for you while he was still your secret admirer?"
I raised my eyebrows curiously. "Why would he want lingerie for his birthday? It's not like he's going to actually wear it."
Nattie looked at me like I was crazy. "No, no, no, no, girlie! You need to listen to the whole purpose of it! You see, the reason why the lingerie is a gift is because YOU will be putting it on."
I dropped my jaw in shock. "Nattie!" I exclaimed, throwing the nearest item next to me at her, which was the t-shirt I had changed out of.
"Sweetie, it'll be the perfect gift for you and your honey!" squealed Nattie, clapping her hands, "what better way to spend his birthday with you than in bed in each other's arms? I assume that you haven't had your first time yet."
"Nattie, I don't think this is such a great idea," I groaned, hiding my blushing face behind my sports bag.
"Of course it will be!" said Nattie excitedly, "you haven't had your first time yet, so why not spend it with the man you've been in love with for ages?"
"I don't know if I'm ready for something like that, Nattie," I said uncertainly.
"What's keeping you, girlie?" asked Nattie.
"I just don't know whether it's a smart choice or not," I said.
"Girlie, what do you mean? Of course it's a great idea! Seriously, what's stopping you?"
"I'm scared."
"Of what?"
I let out a sigh as I brushed my hair. "I'm scared that John will leave me if I do give it to him."
The room stayed silent for a moment.
"Girlie, are you worried about this because of Cody? Do you think John's like Cody?"
"Not at all, Nattie. But lots of men are like that. Once they get your dignity, they throw you away like Kleenex," I replied, "I don't want to risk my relationship with John. I don't want to lose John. He's the sweetest guy in the world and losing him will be the worst thing that would have ever happened to me."
"Girlie, John Hennigan and Cody Runnels are not the same people," said Nattie, gripping me on the shoulders, "Cody Runnels left you for some disfigured Barbie doll and before that he constantly pressured you to sleep with him. John Hennigan gave you all the tender loving care in the world from the day you two first met, and he treats you like a queen. Seriously, Kathie! John Hennigan freaking loves you to death! He absolutely adores you! He would give the world to you if he could! Kathie, the man worships the ground you walk on. What makes you think he's going to pull a Rhodes and leave you just like that? John loves you way too much to ever leave your side for even one second. Having your first time with him is only going to make your relationship with him even stronger! It will show that you love and trust him! Honestly, girlie, that would be the perfect birthday present for him. And I guarantee you'll knock him out when you put on that sexy little lingerie for him. You in a bikini already makes him drool."
I thought about what Nattie had told me. True, during the days before I broke up with Cody, he had been acting like a perv, sneaking up on me while I was in the shower, bugging me about wearing skimpy clothes, and constantly pressuring me to sleep with him. And she was certainly right about the way John treats and cares about me. We love each other more than anything else in the world. I know John would never leave me. But somehow, I still had a stir of doubt within me that prevented me in fully believing that he would never leave me.
It's not that I don't want to have my first time with John; it's just the pressure of it, and how big of an impact sex is on a relationship. Sometimes it boosts a relationship, and sometimes it sabotages it. I'm afraid that one night with John could sabotage our relationship. One night could change everything between John and I.
"So sweetie, get your lingerie, put it on the night of his birthday, and give him what you want to give him," said Nattie.
Even with Nattie's consultation, my question remained unanswered. Should I have my first time with John on his birthday? I just don't know how to answer it. I just don't know if I'm ready yet.
