Chapter 13
That night at dinner, John and Rose sat silently, exchanging glances every once in a while. Finally, Rose spoke up.
"So, who won that match today?"
John sipped his coke. "Which one?"
"Our match."
"Oh, I dunno." He shrugged and looked away from her. He began thinking.
Sensing something was wrong, Rose became concerned. "John, what's wrong?"
He looked at her. "Nothin is wrong. I'm juss thinkin." He looked away from her again.
"Thinkin about what?" He didn't answer. "Okay, fine." She picked up the menu and began looking at it.
John finally turned around and looked at her. Rose noticed, but she didn't say anything. "Rose?"
She lowered the menu. "Yeah John?"
"Rose, I wanna ask you somethin."
"What do you want to ask me?"
He paused for a second. He took another sip of his coke and took a deep breath. "Rose, do you wanna..." He paused again. "Rose, will you be my girl?"
She smiled. "That's what you wanted to ask me? And it took you this long to ask?"
He laughed softly. "Yeah, it did take me a while, I guess." He paused. "So will you?"
She looked at him. "What do you think?" She paused, heightening the suspense for him. "Of course I will!"
He let out a sigh. "Whew! I could've sworn you were gonna say no."
"Why would you think that John? You know I really care about you."
"Yeah, I know. But still."
"Okay." She just looked at him for a few seconds. "You wanna know somethin funny?"
"What?"
"I was gonna ask you out tonight." She laughed.
He laughed with her. "Farreal?"
"Yeah."
"So why didn't you ask me?"
She shrugged. "I don't know. I was nervous I guess. Can you blame me?"
"Nah, I can't blame you."
She smiled coyly. "I know." She changed the subject. "So when did you realize that you liked me so much?"
"Today, when I was watchin TV."
"Watching TV made you think of me?"
"Well, I was flipping through the channels and I saw the clip from Smackdown where you beat Miss Jackie. Then I remembered how happy you were when you won. Juss thinkin about that smile on your face made me realize how special you are."
She smiled and began blushing. "My smile made you realize that I'm special? Damn, I feel like luckiest girl in the world right now."
He took her hand and kissed her palm. "Rose, I'm the lucky one here."
She smiled again. "Aw, stop it!" She slapped his hand away playfully.
They sat quietly together for a few more minutes. John slowly got up and sat next to Rose. He tapped her shoulder, and she turned around. He leaned over and kissed her lips. She draped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. He assed a little tongue and started to caress her back. She began to rub his back. Then they stopped and Rose mouthed, Let's get out of here.
John nodded and took care of the check. They walked out to John's car, got in, and drove off to Rose's apartment. When they got there, they walked into the bedroom and shut the door.
After John left, Rose got out her journal and wrote in an entry for the day. "Dear Journal,
John and me are now officially a couple, and I didn't have to ask him. He asked me! And he actually thought I was going to say no. How could he think that? I absolutely love him! And now I know he's a really passionate person. LOL Well, I'm gonna go get some sleep. I have a big day tomorrow. John and I are driving to Los Angeles to go see Raw and to go see Jeff. Good night my dear friend!
Love, Rose"
She closed her journal and put it away. She crawled into bed and shut the lights off. She drifted off to sleep, to later have sweet dreams of her new boyfriend.
