It had been a couple of days since John and Natalya had gone out for a drink. And believe it or not she still hasn't been able to stop thinking about how handsome he looked that night.
Apparently Beth seemed to noticed.
"You like him don't you?" she asked Natalya for the tenth as they were driving to the next Smackdown event.
"No Beth. I don't like him, that way." she said for the tenth time.
"Come on Nattie. I saw the way you were looking at him while the two of you were dancing."
"It was nothing. I swear." Natalya replied.
Beth snickered. "Sure it wasn't."
Natalya's phone started ringing.
"Now I wonder who that could be? Could it be John?" Beth teased.
Natalya let out a frustrated sigh. "No. It's Tyson. Again." Beth stopped smiling. "Really? He's calling you again?" Beth asked, feeling really annoyed.
She answered. "Stop calling me Tyson. I'm done with you!" Natalya shouted in her phone. "After punching John in the face you think I want you back?"
"No I told you we're not dating. And what does it matter to you? YOU BROKE UP WITH ME!"
"Jeez Natalya. I'm trying to drive here."
"I'm done talking to you. Goodbye Tyson." she hung up.
"Sorry you had to hear all that."
"Don't be sorry girl. You had to let him know you're over him." Beth replied.
Natalya put her phone on silent.
"I'm gonna get some shut eye." Natalya said. "You do that."
A couple of hours later they made it to their destination.
They checked in and Beth collapsed on her bed.
Natalya took out her phone, and saw she got a bunch of missed texts from Tyson.
Then he saw a text from John.
J: Hey Nattie. Hope you and Beth are having a safe trip.
Natalya couldn't help but smile.
N: Hey John. We just made it to the hotel. How's your eye?
She then hit send.
Then within a couple of minutes she got another text.
J: It's feeling better. Thanks for asking.
N: I'm glad to hear that.
J: What are you doing right now?
N: Nothing. Beth's sleeping right now. I'm just sitting here. How about you?
J: I'm sitting outside a bar. Randy's inside getting drunk.
N: Have you been drinking?
J: No. I'm just the designated driver. So we don't have to spend our money on a cab.
N: I kind of wish I was there with you. Too bad I'm on Smackdown and you're on Raw.
J: Yeah. That's too bad.
Natalya couldn't help but blush and giggle a little.
"What's so funny Nattie?"
Natalya's eyes went wide.
"Sorry. I thought you had fallen asleep." she replied, her face getting redder.
Beth leaned in and looked over Natalya's phone.
"Aww. You and John are texting. How cute." Beth teased with a smile.
Natalya was about to put her phone away when Beth stopped her.
"No it's okay sister. Don't mind me. I'll try to go back to sleep. I won't bother you for the rest of the night." she said before turning back on her side.
J: You still there? Or I guess you probably went to sleep.
N: No. Sorry about that. Beth caught me texting.
J: So? What's the big deal?
N: She keeps teasing me.
J: About what?
N: Us chatting.
J: Is there anything wrong with that?
N: She keeps thinking we'd make a great couple. Considering we're both single now.
She waited a bit for him to text back.
She put her phone down and turned on the tv. She turned the volume down real low so she wouldn't wake up Beth.
About 20 minutes went by before she heard her phone vibrate.
She smiled when she saw John texted her again.
J: Sorry. Randy came out of the bar before I could finish my message. I'm in my hotel room now.
N: Okay. Good.
J: So Beth thinks we'd make a good couple.
N: I'm just not ready to be in another relationship.
J: I'm sorry if I seemed to come on a bit too forward. That wasn't my intention.
N: No John. You don't have to apologize.
J: I'm not looking for a relationship right now either.
N: Okay.
J: Whenever you're ready to go out and start dating again, I hope you end up finding the man of your dreams.
Natalya smiled. She felt touched at his comment.
N: Thanks. And I hope you find the right woman someday.
J: It's getting late. I have a lot to do tomorrow.
N: Okay. I'm glad I chatted to you. You take care.
J: Thanks. You too Nattie. Hope to see you again soon.
She put her phone away and turned off the tv.
She laid in bed for awhile. She kept thinking about how sweet and sensitive John is. She's still not sure how she actually feels for him.
She didn't want to think about it too much. Like she told John she wasn't ready to be in another relationship.
