Here's the next chapter.
The day before the charity event John decided to take Alexa shopping for an outfit to wear for the event.
"Wow. There are so many outfits to choose from." Alexa said to John.
She felt a hand on her shoulder. "Take your time."
She tried on different outfits, but none of them seemed to match her style. But suddenly she found something that just might work.
She paid the cashier and they left.
"I think you're going to like what I have in store for tomorrow night." Alexa said with a confident smile. John smiled back. "Can't wait."
"Now let's head on over to the spa." John suggested.
Alexa smiled and squealed in delight. "Oh my god. You're the best John." she replied, giving him a hug.
"Of course I'm the best." John joked. "I meant it John. You're the best." she said.
Later that day
"That may have been the best spa treatment I've ever had." she said as they relaxed at their hotel room. "I'm happy to hear that."
"I'm so excited for tomorrow night." Alexa squealed in delight. "So am I." John replied.
"We should get some sleep." "Yeah. Good idea."
Both both changed into their sleep wear.
"John?" "Yeah Alexa?"
"This might be weird of me to ask, but would you hold me while I'm sleeping?" she asked, giving him her best puppy eyed look.
John smiled. "Sure. Anything."
She scooted back until she felt his arm around her waist.
"Well. Goodnight John."
"Goodnight Alexa. Sleep tight."
Alexa smiled to herself.
Alexa is in a dark room, no light, feeling scared. "Hello?" she said loudly. Then a shadowy figure was approaching her, holding a knife.
"No. You stay away." The unknown figure walked closer. Alexa got up and tried to run away, but her legs weren't cooperating. "No! No!"
The person then raised the knife. "Get away!" she screamed.
"Alexa?" she heard a voice. She didn't know where it was coming from though.
"Alexa wake up."
"Wake up."
She opened her eyes. She turned around to see John with a concern look on his face. He pulled her close. She was still whimpering and breathing heavily.
"Oh my god! Oh my god!" she whispered. "Shh. It's ok. I'm here." John replied softly as he rubbed her back in circles.
She started to calm down. "I'm sorry for waking you John." she replied.
"Don't apologize. Just know that you're safe with me." he said.
She smiled up at him. Without thinking she came up and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank you John."
"You're welcome. Let's try to get back to sleep."
She nodded in agreement. Both of them were able to sleep peacefully without anymore nightmares.
The Next Night
"You almost done in there Alexa? The event starts in about an hour." "I'm almost done. Hold your horses." she called out.
A few minutes later Alexa came out of the bathroom, and John couldn't help but be awestruck at her appearance.
Alexa was wearing a short blue dress that's covered in glitter. He also noticed she put on heavy make up. He also noticed her ruby ear rings.
"Well? Do you like it? she asked, doing a little twirl with a big smile.
"You look amazing." John replied softly.
"Really?" "Yeah. You look like a-" he suddenly stopped himself.
She gave him a confused look. "I look like a... What?"
John was blushing. Alexa's eyebrows went up. "We're you about to call me a princess? she asked. "Yeah."
She looked up at him, smiled and walked towards John and hugged him and resting her head on his chest.
"It's ok John. You can call me a princess if you want. In fact..." she lifted her head off of his chest and stared at him. "I'd love to be your princess." she added.
She then suddenly pulled and ran a hand through her hair, feeling a little embarrassed. "This is awkward." she said quietly.
John placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled. Alexa smiled back.
"You ready to head out?" John asked. "Yeah. I'm ready."
At the Charity Event
Both of them were escorted over to the event by a limo. "This is easily one of the best days of my life!" Alexa squealed in delight. "What makes it even better is that you're here with me." she added, resting her head on his shoulder.
She couldn't help but admire John in his tuxedo.
John smiled. "I'm glad to be here with you too Alexa." he replied.
The moment they arrived the driver got out and opened the back door.
John got out first, then he assisted Alexa out of the limo. He kept his grip on Alexa hand, which she didn't mind one bit.
"You ready?" he asked. She smiled. "I'm ready."
They went inside, and she couldn't believe how lovely the ballroom looked. With a chandelier on the ceiling.
The host of the charity event greeted both of them. "Hello. You must be John Cena. Welcome." he said. "It's a pleasure to be here sir."
The host noticed Alexa. "Who is this lovely lady with you?" he asked. "This is Alexa Bliss. A real close friend of mine." Alexa blushed a little. "I invited her."
"Well we hope you two enjoy tonights charity event."
"Oh don't worry sir. We will." she teased.
They were asigned to a table labeled 'Special Guests'. Sometimes some fans came by for autographs. Some of them recognized Alexa and asked for her autograph too, which she was happy to do.
They ate and chat. At one point a waiter arrived with a bottle of champagne.
John poured some in each glass. He raised his. "Here's to an amazing friend. Who's been by my side the past several years through the Ups and Downs."
She smiled and raised her glass as well. They each took a sip. Deep down though she couldn't help but feel a little sad, when he said the word friend.
'Yeah. Friend. I'm just his friend. Nothing more.' she thought to herself.
"Hey. Is something wrong Alexa?" he asked, noticed Lexi looking a little sad. "What? No. I'm okay."
"It doesn't look like you're okay. What's bothering you? You know you can tell me anything."
She really does want to tell him what she really feels for him. But she believes that if she did, it would tear him apart and their friendship would be broken beyond repair. She just couldn't bring herself to tell him.
"I just wished my parents could've come here. That's all." It was all Alexa could think of to say. "Oh. Well. Maybe I could've send them invites."
"No. It's okay John. They wouldn't have been able to come anyway. They just have a lot to do back at home."
John believed she lied about why she was feeling a bit down, but he chose not to push it. He just wanted her to be happy and have fun tonight.
He immediately saw the dance floor. He got up and offer her his hand. "May I have this dance Alexa?" he asked.
She looked up and smiled, clearly a little surprised. "I'd love to." she replied, letting him grab his hand.
He let her to the dance floor. A bunch of people backed away and gave them both some space. The room began to darken and a spotlight shone on them.
He held her by her shoulders, while Alexa had her hands on his hips.
John couldn't help but how amazingly beautiful she looked. Especially in that blue dress. He always known she was cute, but right now as they danced he started seeing her a different way.
Apparently Alexa was feeling something similar as she danced with him. Her heart pounding harder than it ever has before.
The song suddenly ended, and the lights went back to normal.
Both of them went back to their table.
Alexa smiled brightly. "That felt amazing." she replied. John couldn't help but agree. "I know. It was something unlike anything I've experienced before." "I know right?"
Sometime later a dark haired woman came by. "Oh my god! You're John Cena!" she replied with a Russian accent. "I'm Emily. I'm such a huge fan of your's." she replied.
Alexa noticed Emily was wearing a red dress. She noticed a little bit of cleavage peaking out of the V neck. She could also tell she was a bit drunk.
"Nice to meet you Emily." he replied, holding out his hand for a handshake. But instead she fell forwards and wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. Clearly he didn't expect that to happen.
Alexa couldn't help but feel a bit jealous, but she kept her composer. She didn't want to start any trouble. Not in front of John and especially not in front of the charity people.
Emily finally released him, that's when she noticed Alexa sitting next to John.
Alexa gave her a small smile and said hi while giving her a little wave.
"Excuse me dear girl. Do you mind moving along? We're trying to have a private chat here."
Alexa looked and felt offended. "Excuse me?" Alexa wondered.
"That's Alexa Bliss. She's my best friend." John explained
"Oh. Wait. You're supposed to be Alexa Bliss? I thought Alexa Bliss was an evil heel queen. Not some child who plays dress up and looks like a bloody Barbie Doll wannabe." Emily spat out.
'Okay. Now I'm starting to get mad.' she thought to herself.
"Listen lady. We're just trying to have an relaxing, peaceful evening here. And I appreciate you treat her here with respect." John said. Which brought a smile on Alexa face.
"Oh hey! Wasn't she a fairly like lady long time ago on NXT?" "You know, I just wish you'd turn into a real fairy and fly away so I wouldn't have to look at your filthy, ugly kiddy face."
She couldn't take it anymore. She got up and stood on her toes and got up into Emily's face. "Listen bitch. I can easily put you through a table. Just like I put Becky Lynch through a table one time. And no this isn't Lexi talking. This is Alexa talking." "So I suggest you turn around and walk away. Otherwise you're gonna end up on a hospital bed."
Emily turned to John. "I'd walk away if I were you." She looked back at her. Without saying anything she glared at Lexi before walking away.
Alexa started to calm down as she sat back down.
"I think you handled that very well." John said. Alexa smiled. "You really think so?" He took her hand in his. "Absolutely." he grinned.
Sometime later John was announced to the stage to do a speech. He invited her to come up with him.
They held hands as the walked to the stage.
"I just want to say. I'm happy to be here. Charities are an amazing way to get together. I'm proud to contribute and to help put smiles on people's faces." "Any questions?"
One person shouted "How come you're not with Nikki anymore?"
"Things got complicated, and we realized we weren't right for each other." John answered.
"Are the two of you dating?" Another person asked. John realized the guy was referring to him and Alexa.
Both of them held up their hands and repeatedly saying no. "We're not together." Alexa replied on the microphone. Though deep down she wished they were. "It'd be a bit weird for her to date someone who's over 10 years older than her." John said.
"She's a close friend. Someone that's been there for me for a long time. Just like I've been there for her."
"Isn't wrestling for tall athletes?" One joked.
"Don't let her size fool you. She may be cute on the outside, but on the inside, she's a fighter." John replied.
Alexa smiled up at John, feeling flattered. He went to talk for a few more minutes before he was done with his speech, receiving a standing ovation.
John looked on his watch and realized it was almost 10 pm. "Hey Alexa. We should probably get going. It's getting late."
She nodded in agreement.
They said their goodbyes and the both of them went out front together.
John was looking for a cab. He found one. They started walking when John heard a rumbling.
He turned around to see a car driving going fast on the sidewalk, heading towards them.
"Look out!" he yelled, pushing Lexi away and before he was sent flying towards the windshield and ended up hitting the pavement and the car sped away.
Feeling a little dazed, Alexa looked over at John laying motionless on the street with a horrified look on her face.
"JOHN!" she screamed as she ran toward him. "SOMEBODY HELP!"
People started getting their phones out to call 911.
"John! Please don't die! Please don't die!" she pleaded as she started crying.
God I hope John doesn't die!
We'll find out what happens to John in the next chapter.
