Chapter 35- The dreaded confrontation and more

Katie let out a long sigh as she mentally prepared the speech she would have to deliver the moment she stepped inside her own room where she could clearly picture 4 pairs of eyes shooting lasers at her.

"I'll just get straight to the point. No use in beating around the bush since I'm pretty sure they are aware something is awfully wrong", the green-eyed beauty thought to herself as she approached her own room. Bracing herself once again, she slowly opened the wooden framed door.

She had expected a dozen bullets in the form of questions to rain over her as she stepped in. Surprisingly though, her room remained empty. Before she could let out a sigh of relief, a voice rang in her ears.

Which belonged to none other than her room mate, the Canadian bombshell.

"Katie?" her voice appeared to be coming from the bed room. As Katie made her way through the living room and towards the bed room to meet Trish, she stopped midway in her tracks.

She didn't even have to enter the bed room since the Canadian native stood in the doorway with her arms crossed firmly against her chest a dead serious expression.

"Hello roomie", Katie waved at her, flashing a little smile as she did so.

"Cut the crap Miss Norman, get freshened up and meet me down in the cafeteria". With that, Trish tossed her blond curls back and stalked past the green-eyed native, her lips set in a thin angry purse. She left the hotel room, slamming it hard behind her.

A long sigh escaped Katie's lips as she closed her eyes for a few seconds.

Well, something tells me this is gonna be one long day, she thought to herself as she walked into the bedroom to freshen up. I hope they all aren't as annoyed as her.

Katie ran her hands through her brown curls as she neared the big oak framed doors of the WWE cafeteria, bracing herself for the confrontation with the divas. Before she could reach her hands out to push it open, a voice made her freeze in spot.

A very familiar husky voice.

"Thought you would be late in coming in for breakfast tomboy", an arm slipped around her waist as Katie turned to lock eyes with the Chain Gang soldier who had a wide smirk on his face.

Katie couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "And why is that John?"

He let out a deep chuckle and ran his fingers through his teddy bear brown cut ''Oh well since you had to confess to the bitter crime of falling in love with your old enemy to a throng of angry birds". He smiled again "I thought they would pluck you to death within an hour".

"Haha" the green eyed diva muttered sarcastically. "Very funny." Before John could reply to that, she pushed his arm away and was just going to walk in through the cafeteria doors when she felt a light smack on her ass.

"I like it when you're pissed sweetheart", she felt his deep voice in her ear, his hot breath blowing lightly against it. And now before she could respond to him, she felt his teeth grab the flesh of her ear lobe and bite hard on it.

Instantly, a soft moan escaped her lips as she closed her eyes. She couldn't comprehend the fact that by that one simple move on John's part, her cheeks had automatically flushed red. Within a few seconds, she was brought back to reality when the warm presence behind her vanished and a whoosh of air blew suddenly on her face.

Her eyes fluttered open just to see that her former enemy had walked in through the cafeteria doors leaving her behind. Katie immediately shook herself from the temporary trance she was in courtesy of the Champ and slowly walked in, hoping no one would notice her still flushed face.

Her green eyes scanned the crowded cafeteria for the divas' table. They momentarily fell on the table where John sat with his pack of friends which included the Viper and his best friend, Randy, the Hardy boyz Jeff and Matt, Edge and of course DX.

And lo and behold! Right beside their table was the very place she was searching for, the Divas' hangout.

And from the way Trish seemed to be shooting lasers at her even from that far distance, Katie knew this was gonna be one long confrontation.

She made her way over to them, looking straight ahead despite knowing the fact that a certain blue-eyed heart throb had his eyes fixed intently on her moving frame.

"Hello ladies" Katie offered a greeting as she reached the table. The four blonds however said nothing except for a small greeting offered by the other green-eyed diva, Torrie Wilson.

Katie still kept the forced smile on her lips and sat down on the chair. The breakfast was laid out on the table and the divas were already helping themselves to the platters of their wish. Katie placed the french toast on her plate and a few other food items. A tensed silence hung in the air between the five divas for a while.

That is until a restless Katie decided to break it.

"Listen guys, I know you all want to know what transpired last night and what kept me from answering your calls. You see, well John and I...uhh..how do I put this..." she trailed off.

"Don't tell me you guys hooked up Katie", the Canandian bombshell said sharply.

"No of course not, I wouldn't dream of hooking up with him" the green-eyed diva said defensively, knowing fully well that the man whom she was referring to was listening to each and everything she said since he had purposely exchanged seats with Shawn to stay close to her the moment she had settled into her own seat.

"Then what is it Katie?" the red-head asked a bit more in curiousity than in anger "We wondered what the hell was up with you when Tor informed us your phone was dead. And what do you know, when we called your comrade who amazingly happens to be Mr. Cena, he very cooly says you crashed at his room for the night."

"Yeah and how do expect us to react to that?" Trish glared hard at the West Newbury native. "Jump and dance with joy that you had become another notch on his bed?"

"Look guys, its nothing, I just..."

"Yeah go on, think up of an excuse" Lita rolled her brown eyes.

"Why don't you just admit he finally stuck his balls deep inside you, it would save us a lot of trouble."

That's when something snapped inside Katie.

"You know what?" she suddenly said in voice laced with impending anger. "I can't give a damn explanation if you guys keep jumping on to freaking conclusions like this." Her green eyes locked on to Trish's brown ones and then to Lita's whilst the pair of Stacy and Torrie silently watched the show, not wanting to get a word in.

"I'm not gonna beat around the bush. Let me just get straight to the point. To your question, the reason my phone was dead was because my comrade had smashed it to the ground when we were in the middle of a heated argument."

"And as to why I crashed at his room, well I had slept in his car the previous night and being the gentleman, he didn't try to wake me up and instead just took me to his room so that I could continue with my sleep on his bed there".

Her green eyes were now filled with fire. The next words that flew out of her mouth were said with almost no regret or fear.

" Just because you people label him as a damn womanizer, doesn't mean he can take due advantage when I'm vulnerable and put his balls inside me. Truth be told, he has more of a heart than you guys would ever have". Saying this, she huffily got up from the table and stormed away, not caring about the surprised looks her diva friends wore.

Nor did she care if a dozen others were gazing at her in utmost surprise, the ones that had just caught traces of the sound of her angry voice ringing from the centre of the cafeteria.

Katie hadn't meant for herself to go up in a smoke like that. No, that was definetely not on her agenda for the day. She was just sick of hearing people call the man who had stolen her heart a womanizer. And when the divas started to point their dirty fingers at her, the old familiar temper she had seemingly conquered flared up in all its glory.

And that's what drove her to do what she had done.

It seemed like a long time passed but that wasn't really the case. The divas were just having a hard time digesting the recent outburst of the West-Newbury diva.

Just when Stacy could break the stunned silence, another figure from their neighboring table got up, placing his napkin back on its respective place. He turned around and stared hard at the table of four for quite a while and his normally crystal blue eyes suddenly looked strikingly deep blue.

It was the old dangerously calm look he would wear when something was really bugging him.

Without uttering so much as a word, he walked off too.

The divas were now all the more stunned.

Whatever was going on here, it was definetely something between the two West Newbury natives.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Green eyes looked up at the hotel ceiling for a long time, lost in a complete daze. Blurry images of herself as a young girl flashed across her mind followed by images of a thin lanky boy trying to squirt her with a water blaster. The thin lanky boy suddenly became a muscular hunk of a man who had his arms firmly wrapped around an older version of her as they engaged in a passionate make out session.

Gone were the two kids playing around in their own fantasy worlds. They were now two grown indiviuals who had to face harsh realities of life. Like right now. It wasn't wrong really when childhood hatred blossomed to adult love. But according to the society they lived in, it was wrong.

Especially when the man you loved was well known for getting the best lays in town.

She sighed loudly, more in exhaustion than frustration. She hated them all for trying to keep her back. She wanted to be with him, to live in his apartment and keep the flame of love alive. But no, according to them, he was playing with her and that just wasn't done.

She dropped her head between her knees and closed her eyes. For a moment, she wanted to shut herself away from everyone and try to find some inner peace.

But fate had other plans...as usual.

"Katie?", the very sound of his deep manly voice was enough for her to jerk up quickly from her position on the floor. However, she refused to let her green eyes make contact with his pure blue ones. More for fear of letting angry tears slide down her cheeks than for shame of being unable to confess her love for him to the divas.

"Come here" he suddenly pulled her into his strong muscular arms and before Katie knew it, she was locked in a warm embrace by the Champ himself, John Felix Anthony Cena. Instantly, she fisted her hands onto his shirt and clung on to him almost as if holding on for dear life.

"Why do they keep saying you're gonna use me John?" she said in a trembling voice as she pressed herself against him harder. "And why is it wrong if I have fallen for you? I don't care for a moment if you break my heart. It's better to have loved than lost."

She had grown vulnerable again. It was evident from the way she spoke against his chest and from her choice of words. She was better being brash and rude. But when she was vulnerable and hurting real bad, it killed John.

He slowly pulled her away and opened the hotel door against which she had been sitting not so long ago. He didn't care if anyone had seen him pull her in. All he wanted right now was her and complete piracy.

He shut the door tight with one hand whilst the other was still wrapped around Katie's body. Then when that was done, he brought a tender finger to her quivering chin and lifted her head so that their eyes could meet in a deep eye contact for the umpteenth time.

For the first time in her life, Katie actually saw the brimming love filled in his crystal blue eyes. He gazed at her intensely, not like the hungry predator he had been earlier that morning when he spoke to her of his primal desires. No this time, his eyes twinkled with purity, a deep seriousness , with immense love and for a moment, everything stood still around them.

He brought her closer to his face so that she could feel his hot breath blow lightly against her lips. Then he whispered softly, "Don't you ever..", a sweet kiss was place on her cheek "ever...", another kiss on her other cheek "say that I'm gonna break your heart Katie Norman".

With this, he brought his lips for the third time to her face. But this time however, they met her own luscious ones.

This kiss was different, there was nothing animalsitic or raw or passionate about it. It wasn't platonic either nor was it rough. Rather, it was a tender kiss, a gentle love-filled touch of their lips where their tongues molded against each other in perfect harmony. Where their bodies fitted perfectly against each others' and where, there was no clawing at their bodies out of desperation. It was simply and purely love. Nothing could feel as good as the pure kiss they shared out of love.

Until Katie decided to pull away abruptly.

John felt his heart prick when he noticed a small tear roll down her right eye and down her beautifully sculpted cheek. He immediately brought a thumb to brush it away. "Darlin' what's wrong?" he whispered, his tone laced with concern as he never tore his eyes from her forest green ones.

"How can I trust you John?", she asked softly."Could you make me trust you? Could you make me forget everything and just revel in the feel of your arms? Make me forget all my worries and doubts?"

Right then, John knew what he had to do. He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed her fingers one by one, his blue eyes still locked onto hers. Then he whispered against her face "Tonight, come to my room. And let me earn your trust Katie".

Finaaaaalllllllyyyyyy. The update you have all been waiting for! What brought me back were the reviews that requested me not to kill the story! I was almost on the verge to. But i realized I just can't do it. Soooo...I m back again!
