John waited patiently for Trish at a table in the hotel's restaurant. He had been there since 8:30, and it was now 8:55. 'Shes not going to show up' John thought to himself. 5 minutes later, at exactly 9:00, Trish walked into the restaurant. "Damn, she's beautiful." John said quietly to himself as he waved to her. Trish smiled, waved back, and made her way back to the booth John was sitting in.
"Good morning John!" Trish said, as she hugged him.
"Great to see you, Trish. You look great."
"Thanks." Trish blushed.
There was an awkward silence that was broken by a waitress. "And what can I get for you and your girlfriend, sir?"
'My girlfriend? I wish she was...should I correct her?' John thought.
"Actually ma'am, we're just close friends...and I'd like just a cappucino for now, thanks." Trish said. 'Shit, what did I just do...I should of just let her think I was his girlfriend...'
'Looks like she beat me to it.' John thought to himself...it sort of hurt that Trish was so fast to correct the waitress.
"And for you, sir?" the waitress asked.
"Oh, just get me a coffee-black, please." John answered.
"No problem...that'll be 5 minutes." With that, the waitress left.
"I can't believe she thought you were my girlfriend" John said trying to be funny.
"Yea..." Trish forced a laugh out. 'Too bad I'm not.'
"So anyways, where are you and Rene going out?"
"Oh we don't know yet. But if I make other plans, I might uhh...blow him off, say I have to visit my parents or something." Trish answered.
"Ah, is that you being sneaky, or just not really wanting to go out with him?"
"Actually, I'd rather be going on a date with someone else this weekend...but I think they might be busy."
'Shit, who does she like?' John thought.
"Here you go, a cappucino for you miss, and a coffee for you, sir. Are you ready to order, or would you like some time to think?" the waitress asked.
"Just give me your breakfast special. I could eat anything, I'm so hungry." Trish answered.
"Yea me too. I'll have the same." John said.
"Okay, 20 minutes. If you need anything, I'll be around." the waitress said before walking away again.
"So, who is this guy you like, Trish?" he asked.
"Well, he's very young, handsome, strong, funny...he's fun to be with..." Trish said.
"Come on now, give me a name." John said.
"Well...for that you'll just have to wait until after breakfast." Trish said.
'Okay, so she obviously doesn't want to talk about who it is then...but who?!...Who the hell does Trish Stratus like?'
"Alright, alright. I'll be patient...but anyways...don't you have a photoshoot coming up?" John asked, changing the subject.
"Yea, for SmackDown magazine...it's actually coming up in 2 weeks." Trish answered.
"Oh really? What kind of photoshoot is it...and who else is gonna be there?" John asked.
"Oh I'm just being featured in the magazine because I just debuted over here on SmackDown...it's just me...they're flying me to Toronto to do kinda a home-town thing." Trish answered.
"Man, it must suck going to those things alone."
"Yea, but I've gotten used to it. The Babe of the Year shoots are always just little old me...but I'm allowed to bring a travelling buddy if I want...they get time off if they come, it's not too bad of a deal for them I guess." Trish answered.
"Well who were you thinking of bringing?" John asked. 'Maybe if I can get on her good side...hell it's not enough time..'
"I don't know, the only person on SmackDown I've really gotten to know is Dawn...other than that, you, and I don't think either of you would be too interested in going up to Canada just for my photoshoot." Trish said.
"Why do you say that? Toronto's a beautiful city...and you're a beautiful woman." John said.
Trish blushed. "Are you, Mr. Cena, suggesting that you come with me?"
"Never." John replied sarcasticly. Trish eyed him. "You know, you're a good friend and I could use some time off, so I'd go with you if you wanted me to." John replied. 'Shit, you just sounded like a complete loser...shit, shit, shit.'
"John, you're the best...we're gonna have a great time. I can show you my house that I've been working on, and all my favourite places..." Trish said with a smile.
John smiled. 'This is great...but we're still just friends...'
"Here you go, two breakfast specials." the waitress put their food down on the table, asked if there was anything else they needed, and left.
"John, you really don't know how great this is. I get so lonely when I travel by myself, and now that I've got a friend coming along...we're gonna have a great time."
That word cut like a knife. 'FRIEND...just tell her John, tell her.'
"Trish, you're so happy about this...I just hope Vince will let me come up with you..."
"Oh he will." Trish said before he could finish. "He can't have a sad diva do such an important photoshoot...can he?" Trish laughed.
John loved the way she was so in-control. She knew how to get her way in any situation. And now with their trip to Toronto, he finally had a chance to spend some time with her-even if it was only 3 days.
JOHNS POV
This is great...I would have never thought she'd let me come with her. This woman is amazing...I don't think I'll tell her though that I care about her as much as I do quite yet...I don't want her to reconsider the trip.
TRISHS POV
I can't believe that John would want to come with me! But now I can't be honest about my feelings...he might decide not to come otherwise...he might think I'd try to put the moves on him or something. I'm so excited for the trip though...I always thought it was stupid that they let us bring people to the shoots...apparently they're smart people, the planners.
"Good morning John!" Trish said, as she hugged him.
"Great to see you, Trish. You look great."
