MIA POV
"Morning beautiful." A strong southern accent woke me. My eyes fluttered open to see Jeff next to me.
"Morning." I smiled. "What time is it?"
"About 10am." He lay there, his arm under my neck as I rested my arm across his chest naturally, cuddling into him for warmth. We were lying on a double bed in the spare room in Matt's house, which Jeff had seemingly adopted since the fire. Matt had tried to make the room feel more like Jeff's home for him by putting pictures Matt had of Jeff and people in there and other homey touches.
"We only fell asleep at like…" I tried to think of the time but my memory was blank.
"4am." Jeff finished for me. "You do ramble a lot." He chuckled.
"I do not." I playfully slapped him on the chest.
"You do, babe." He smirked. "But don't worry it's cute." I smiled as I curled back up under the covers next to Jeff, still dressed in our clothes from last night. It was Monday morning, and I had been here about 3 days. Last night, we had both been seduced to lots of coffee, which explains why we stayed up so late. Talking about things like the fire to RAW and SmackDown backstage gossip, from TNA to music, and past relationships and family to sex. It had been one of longest conversations in one sitting we had and I had loved every minute of it. It was like I had got to know more about Jeff than I already knew.
"What are you doing today?"
"I've gotta go see the insurance people about the house." He sighed.
"Want me to come? Or am I gonna be hanging out with Matt today?"
"You make it sound like I'm your babysitter or something." He laughed as he turned the TV on and flicked through the channels.
"No." I laughed lightly. "If you want moral support, I'll come or I can train with Matt if you wanna do it on your own. Either way, I'll be happy." I smiled supportively up at Jeff as he smiled down at me.
"Yeah, you with me would be nice. Thank you." He kissed the top of my head as I sat up with him, leaning against the bed head. "Then we could go blow off some steam and train."
"Getting that aggression out?" I questioned him, knowing how he sort of felt. I used to get like that, when everything just gets too much and you just need to let it all out. By punching something. I thought with a content smile. It always worked for me!
"Yeah." He replied simply before he turned to me with a loving look in his eyes. He placed his hand under my chin and raised my head to brush his lips with mine. "I love you." He said as our eyes locked and my heart skipped a beat. "And I'm thankful to have a girl like you in my life."
"I love you, too." I said before he pressed his lips against mine and I smiled into the kiss.
ASHLEY POV
Something moved next to me and I opened my eyes to see John waking up as sunlight streamed through the thin white curtains of the hotel room in New York. "Morning." I mumbled to him with a smile as he sat up and stretched.
"Morning, baby." He smiled a dimple showing smile and I pulled him back down to the pillows and snuggled into him again. He chuckled as I pulled the cover up nearly all of my body. "Cold?"
"Mm-Hmm." I murmured before he wrapped an arm around my shoulder in attempt to warm me up.
"You realize we're gonna have to leave soon right?" He chuckled as I looked up at him, his blue eyes connecting with my green ones.
"Yeah." I responded while his cell phone began to ring.
"Wake-up call." He reached over me to get to the nightstand.
"No." I groaned as I wrapped my arms around him trying to stop him from answering it. He rolled back over with his cell phone in hand and a smile on his face.
"It's Orton, that's twice he's called."
"Booty call?" I joked as a smile played on his lips.
"No." He chuckled. "He probably just wants to tell me about another girl he hooked up with or something." He shrugged.
"In that case, don't worry about it." I took the phone away from him with a small laugh.
"Gimme that." He smiled before he took the cell phone away from me and began to ring Randy back. "Orton, what's up?...yeah, I know…Okay, just tell me about the girl later…See you in the lobby in 30, man." He flipped the phone shut. "We gotta leave for Connecticut."
"We should of just drove there last night and saved all this hassle." I made a valid point and sat upright.
"But you didn't suggest that last night." He jumped out of bed, stood up and stretched. He turned around and caught me starring. "And you told me not to stare." He chuckled while making a 'tut tut' sound. I flung my legs out of bed and sat down beside my suitcase while John showered. I glanced at the clock on the hotel wall. 10:15am.
"I spy a hung over Orton." I announced in a cheerful tone, grinning across at Randy who was slouched on a chair in the lobby with his hat pulled over his eyes. He glanced up at me and shot me death glares at my too-cheerful tone.
"I'm gonna sign us out." John pecked me on the lips before leaving his suitcase with me and Randy and then walked over to the reception desk where other WWE Superstars were signing out.
"I know why you're happy today." He mumbled, raising his hat off his eyes slightly.
"Yeah. Thank you for talking to him, Killer." I smiled at him and perched on the top of my suitcase facing him.
"Okay, seeing as I did something for you. Can you do something for me?" He tried to smile an innocent pleading look in my direction but I just wasn't buying the whole innocent smile that was so un-Orton.
"What?"
"Get me some aspirin." He groaned before dropping back into the chair, leaving me to laugh as I threw him a fresh bottle of water and some aspirin out of my bag. "Thanks." He swallowed the aspirin quickly, chugging nearly the whole bottle of water down after it.
"Take it you had a long night." I winked at him.
"Oh yeah." He grinned.
"You dirty little boy." I shook my head with a smile. "Who is she? And tell me she's not still in your hotel room."
"No, she left when I got up. She was a model from LA, here in New York on business." He sighed taking another chug of water. "Dark brown hair, gorgeous eyes and a perfect body. And she was also amazing in-" I cut him off.
"Alright. Tell the rest to John." I stood up not wanting to hear the rest of Randy's little sex story. Randy let out a chuckle just as John rejoined us.
"What's so funny?" John asked, watching Randy who had a pleased smirk on his face.
"Nothing. Randy will tell you on the way to Connecticut." I patted him on the chest as I watched Beth leave with Jillian, Katie Lea and Paul Burchill. I glanced around the lobby and saw Mickie James leaving with Lillian Garcia and Kelly Kelly. I miss Mia.
"Ready to go?" A familiar voice asked. I turned around to see Shad and JTG stood beside John. Please do not tell me I'm going to be stuck in a car for about 4 hours with four guys with ego's the size of France?
"All set." Randy confirmed smirking down at me as he patted me on the back in a guy way. I grimaced and pulled my green and white trucker hat over my face. I want Mia back.
"I think I need to hang out with Orton more if he gets girls like that." Shad chuckled with JTG from the middle row of seats behind John and Randy who were up front. Thank God for 6 seaters. Even though we were only 5 people, we had a big people carrier and I had opted for the lonely back seat. I had been dozing in and out of sleep, catching little bits of their conversations even though I had my iPod playing. I pulled out my Sidekick cell phone from my front pocket of my skinny jeans and began to text Trish who was in an airport today. I think. I had chosen to wear skinny jeans, white tank top, brown Uggs with a trucker hat. I had my feet propped up on the back seat, so I was stretched out but still sitting upright with my back against the window.
" In car with CT, John and Randy on way to Connecticut. Help, their ego's need so much room, having trouble breathing! Ax" I texted to Trish, praying that she would reply immediately. Minutes later my phone let out a beep.
"lol Aww sweetie. Good luck I couldn't even last one hour alone with just Randy! Where's Mia? Still with Jeff? Boarding plane to Cologne, Germany. Talk soon x" She texted back. I sighed deeply, trying to drown out the conversation of girls.
"Yep in NC still. Praying for a miracle that this journey is over soon. Speak to you soon :) Miss you x" I texted back, knowing she wouldn't be able to text back because she'd be on the plane. I slided my phone shut and sighed deeply, which obviously caught Randy's attention.
"How you doing back there, Ash?" Randy craned his head round to look at me with an amused look.
"I'm alive." I smiled back.
"Well that's something." He smiled to me. John chuckled as he continued to drive through the streets of Connecticut searching for our hotel.
King: I think the back of Kelly's head hit that turnbuckle hard.
Michael Cole: As you can see on the replay, Ashley lifted Kelly off her feet and carried her across the ring, and then rammed her back into that turnbuckle! Ouch.
I waited for Kelly to stand up. I crouched down waiting as the crowd booed expecting that 'Ashes to Ashes' was coming up. I surprised them when I delivered an enzugiri and Kelly fell to the canvas face first after my foot connected with the back of her head.
Michael Cole: An enzugiri delivered perfectly by Ashley.
King: That may be it for Kelly Kelly.
I flipped her over, hooked the leg and watched as the ref slammed his hand to the mat 3 times.
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore
I stood up as the referee raised my hand up in victory, a smirk appeared on my lips as my hand was released from the ref and I stood over Kelly's body as if I would do something. The ref checked on Kelly as I slowly swung my legs over the second rope keeping my eyes glued on Kelly, I then jumped down off the apron. It had been a relatively easy win, even though Kelly Kelly had improved a lot over the last couple of months. She was athletic and fast but not fast enough to avoid that powerful kick to the back of the head.
Cause I've lost my innocence
And I'm a stranger, A life changer
I'm a man thats not afraid of danger
I walk my own path, and blaze my own trail
Because I'm not afraid to derail
I walked backwards up the ramp with the same trademark smirk. My music abruptly stopped and was replaced by a huge pop from the crowd I looked around confused and was knocked off my feet immediately by Mickie. My head slammed against the steel ramp and I squirmed, clutching the back of my head in pain. "Bitch." I muttered out loud as I stood weakly up and saw Mickie come at me with a punch. I ducked under it just in time, she turned around and walked right into the superkick I delivered. I laid a couple of punches on her while she was down and then suddenly the crowd began to cheer wildly for the Intercontinental Champion who ran down the ramp to Mickie's aid. I backed away from Mickie and Kofi, He walked closer to me as Mickie stood up and the cheers soon changed to boo's. The Legend Killer ran down the ramp and I smirked as Randy hit the RKO on Kofi on the steel ramp as Kofi turned around. A referee ran down as I walked past a slow moving Mickie and Kofi and stood by Randy on the ramp as eerie music floated through the arena causing the boo's to increase. The referee made Mickie and Kofi move into the ring for their match against Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella. I slapped hands with Beth as she passed me, heading to the ring and Randy and I disappeared backstage.
"Thanks Killer." I smiled over at him, giving him a pat on the back.
"Anytime. I want that title from Kofi though." He eyes became focused as I began to think about the Women's Championship Belt that still remained in Mickie's hands.
After sliding my feet into my flip flops, I straightened the ruffles out of my orange tank top before pulling cell phone out of my light blue jean shorts. RAW had finished about half an hour ago and I was showered and changed after my match, the only person left in the women's locker room was Beth. I put my ring clothes back into my gym bag as Beth sat down on the bench with her phone in her hand.
"So what are you up to tonight?" Beth asked me.
"Probably room service food and sleep. Why?"
"Because Katie is persistent on arranging this girls night in with Layla, Jillian and me. She wanted you there too, as do I because there is no way I'm going to last the night with those three alone." She explained as I laughed and sat down on the bench.
"Strength in numbers. Alright, sounds like fun."
"Good. You wanna catch a lift with me back to the hotel?" Her phone let out a beep.
"Umm yeah sure. I'm just gonna go say bye to John and I'll meet you back here?"
"Okay." She waved me off as I skipped out the door and down the corridor to John's corridor. I knocked three times and seconds later, John swung the door open with a bright smile.
"Hey you." I smiled up at him.
"Hey gorgeous." He leant down and pecked my lips quickly before opening the door wider. I walked in and saw a man a recognized as John's dad sitting on the couch with a smile.
"Oh hi." I smiled across at him and he stood up.
"Dad, this is Ashley. Ashley this is my dad, Fabo." John wrapped an arm around my waist as his dad extended and hand out towards me.
"John's told me a lot about you." He chuckled as I shook his hand.
"All good I hope." I elbowed John playfully who smiled.
"We were gonna get some food downtown. Wanna join us?" John asked me.
"I would love to but Beth just asked me to have a girls night in with the others tonight. I'm sorry."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow?" He smiled down at me.
"Yep." I agreed. "It was really nice meeting you Mr. Cena."
"Call me Fabo, everyone else does." He smiled brightly at John and me. "And it was nice meeting you too, Ashley." He continued before John walked me to the door.
"Have fun tonight." I smiled before he leaned down and brushed his lips with mine. I winked at him before I skipped down the hallway back towards the women's locker room.
JOHN POV
"You seem happy son." My dad said as I shut the door and picked up my bag.
"Yeah, I am." I smiled, thinking of Ashley. "What did you think of her?"
"If you love her, that's all that matters but she seems perfect for you." Fabo smiled as he clapped me on the back before we walked out the door. A smile appeared on my face as I thought of Ashley and how I did love her. I just hadn't said it. I would have, but there just hasn't been the perfect time.
A/N: So John loves her? Cue the Aww's :) So I shall be aiming to do 100 chaps and this story will be going mega AU because John and his injury. Has anyone else noticed that (if neither of them gets injured again) both Cena and Orton are on track to be returning at the same time? I'm thinking at Survivor Series since its John's hometown and also one of the four biggest PPV's of the year! I certainly can't wait to get them back, I miss em already :) Please review!! :)

Jeff and Jerichos girl- Thanks :) 2-4 months sucks :(
RKO.I.F- I'm really am pulling for Jeff at Unforgiven, but I have a slight feeling that it'll either be MVP, Jeff Hardy or Triple H retains. I don't see Shelton or Kendrick getting it officially. John will stay on in the story, just means it'll be mega AU. Yep, that's what I'm doing with Randy. I didn't want to lose Randy since I love writing him, yeah I'm realzing that now. The story wouldn't be the same if I added the injury. Thank you! :)
iNdy MiLk- Randy is out on injury cause he re-bropke his clavicle in a motorbike accident, and yeah his wife had their baby while he was out on injury. I just miss having the Legend Killer on RAW :( Thank you! :) They'll be regular Mia POV now in each chapter, since I've realized everyone loves her! Lol
