Chapter 3 -Thanks for the reviews. Hope you like this.
"Finally Christmas. The one day of the year we're guaranteed a break." Rene sighed. "I think they're going to make me do much more, now that Elena has joined Smackdown."
"So where is Elena, I have been dying to meet her you know." Sylvain explained picking up a recent picture of Elena on a table nearby. "If she's anything like her picture..."
Rob looked over at the photo. "I hope she moves to Raw. You know, if she gets really good she could be drafted. Then we could take her on as a valet."
Before Rene could say anything, Elena walked into the room wearing a rather revealing blue dress. "Sorry I'm late, let myself in. Sylvain and Rob, Rene's told me heaps about you."
Rene looked up at her stunned. He looked back at his two friends, looking Elena up and down, giving approving smiles, kissing her hand. "Elena come with me and pick out a wine for everyone." Once they were out of sight, Rene took a serious tone. "What the hell do you think you're wearing? Couldn't you have worn something a little more classy?"
Elena shook her head. "I think your jealous that you're friends are paying more attention to me then they are to you. Besides, the whole world has seen me in a bikini so what difference does it make?"
Rene looked at her seriously. "This isn't like high school okay. These are my friends, I'd just prefer it if you weren't trying to flirt with them."
"Look, I know that incident in high school probably scarred you for life, but how many years has it been?" She placed her hands on his shoulders. "Lighten up, okay? I was already asked out this week."
Rene looked a little confused. "By who? If we haven't been catching up you're at the gym. Was it your personal trainer?"
"Actually no, it's John Cena." Elena replied. "He caught up to me after your match."
"John Cena? You can do so much better than him? You are not going to go out with him are you?" Rene asked.
"I'm considering it. Look, I know you two don't like each other but Rene, this isn't about you." She hugged him. "I know, I'd probably feel the same way if you were going out with someone I didn't like, but I'm sure you'd give me this exact same speech."
"I've known him longer than you. He's known for being a bit of a heartbreaker. Most recent being Serena-" Rene thought it would be best to tell his sister exactely what happened with John and his ex, but before he could continue, Elena interrupted.
"Well, if you prefer I went out with one of your friends." Elena walked halfway out the door, before grabbing a bottle of wine and handing it to Rene. "I know what you're thinking, but you'll never win at this."

John had managed to get Elena's address and phone number from a Smackdown roster list. He just had to call her, it wasn't an option anymore. He dialled her house, but she wasn't at home. He figured that she probably went to Rene's, have a family Christmas thing. A part of him was tempted to catch a plane and just show up, but he figured he could wait until Tuesday.
There was a knock at the door, John figured it was his brothers. Though when he opened the door he found Serena standing there. He didn't know what to say. A part of him wanted to slam the door in her face, another part wanted to shout at her.
"Hey John. Merry Christmas." Serena said, smiling weakly. "Can I come in, I have to talk to you."
"Why should I let you in?" John stepped outside, shutting the door behind him. "Want to get your hands on the rest of my money?"
"No. I miss you." Serena explained, biting her lip nervously. "I know that rumours flew around and things were said but why did it all fall apart? I know you loved me. Just like I loved you."
"Yes and if I was just another average joe you would have felt the same way?" John replied sarcastically.
There was an awkward silence. "We were great together John, everyone said so. I know what things may have looked like but I really miss you. Even if I tried to love anyone else it couldn't compare to the moments I spent with you."
"Well I'm with someone else now, so I suggest you go." John said to her. He knew it wasn't entirely true, because Elena and he hadn't officially gone out yet but he wanted to get Serena away.
"Well, I'll just leave then. Though I'm not giving up on you John Cena." With that she walked away.

Tuesday arrived and with it another Smackdown show to do. John walked around backstage, thinking about Serena. He couldn't help but feel nervous about seeing Elena again by everything that happened. The last thing he wanted was to fall hard for someone and end up being used again.
"Hey, there you are. How was your Christmas?" Elena walked up behind him, linking her arm through his and leading him into a random locker room.
"Can't complain." John replied, not wanting to think about that day anymore. "So how was Christmas with your brother?"
"I told him about how you asked me out. Also about how I was going to accept if you aren't doing anything after the show." Elena replied. "How about it?"
John pulled her to him, kissing her by surprise. He pinned her against the wall, lost in a moment he had been waiting for all week and loving the way she was responding. Her kisses were perfect, making him want more and more.
"Cena you have your match in five minutes, they want you in the waiting area." An assistant had walked in, startling the two. He stared at them awkwardly before leaving. "Sorry if I interrupted anything."
Elena laughed. "Well, I guess you have to go now. Hopefully we won't be interrupted later." She gave him a flirty smile and kissed him softly on the lips.
He walked her out of the locker room, holding her hand. "You know, making out with you makes me glad I broke up with everyone I ever went out with. I'll see you in a bit."
John walked around the corner, running into Rene. Rene looked at him coldly. "I know what you're doing with Elena. If you hurt her, I will not hesistate in killing you."
"Relax. I know you're doing the whole protective brother thing. I wouldn't hurt her." John looked back at Rene. "So mind your own business okay."
"My twin sister is my business and I know how you've treated girls in the past." Rene glared at him. "Like the one you left at the altar."
John hated it how people only knew one side of the story. Nobody understood exactely what happened, but they judged him for it. Sure he didn't have the best relationships, but he felt angry for having Rene question his feelings for Elena. "You don't know what you're talking about." He glared right back at him before walking off.
