Chapter 4
"You seem a little distracted, what's wrong?" Elena reached over the table, taking John Cena's hand.
John looked at the surroundings of the late night diner. "I just wish I could have taken you somewhere a little nicer. Guess I should have made reservations."
"Actually, I'd prefer a cheeseburger over food I can't pronounce anyway. I just hope you're not looking for a salad and evian girl." Elena explained, taking a spoonful of the icecream sitting in on the table between her and John.
"Why would you think that?" John asked, curiously. "I want you to feel comfortable eating in front of me."
"Well, many guys I've dated were kind of shocked by it. They saw one image of me in a catalogue and get this whole perception of me." Elena looked up at him, smiling. "You probably don't want to hear about all that though."
"Actually, I know exactely how that feels. I dated a fan two years back. A salad and evian girl as you would put it." John laughed, squeezing her hand. "I just like you, you say what you feel and don't give a damn what anyone else thinks of you."
She looked into his eyes, smiling. "You've only known me a week and you pick that up. I must be one opinionated person."
"I still can't believe someone like you can be related to Rene." John said aloud, a little nervous that he may have offended her.
"He's really great once you get to know him. Though I won't force you to befriend someone you don't get along with." Elena thought back to some of her past relationships, with men who didn't understand some of the priorities that came from being a twin. "I probably should tell you, if you want this relationship to go any further than tonight, you have to accept that I'm a twin and there's stuff that comes with that."
"I understand perfectly and I definately want to see you after tonight. Like maybe tomorrow morning, for breakfast?" John looked at her hopefully.
"Early bus to that house show remember. We won't even have time to get breakfast. Let alone sleep." Elena reminded him. "Though there is New Years Eve."
"I suggest we stay an extra night in Tampa. Just you and me." John suggested, hoping she'd say yes. He slipped over to her side of the booth, smothering her in kisses. "Please please please."
Elena laughed. "Okay. Though we should get back to the hotel now."

Elena woke up to the sound of her cell phone ringing. Sleepily, she reached for it. "Hello?"
"Elena it's me Katie, what's up? As you know it's New Years tomorrow, and as I know you are probably looking for a party. Well I found us one. You know that guy I was working with on that Ralph Lauren shoot? Massive party with loads of his cute friends."
Elena brushed the hair off her face. "I can't. I'm planning to spend it with someone already. I've met this guy."
"Really? Then why didn't you call me straight away? Is it one of the wrestlers?" Katie was thinking about all the guys on the Smackdown roster that she knew of. "You sleeping with a married guy?"
"Don't be stupid Katie. It's John." Elena told her.
"You mean the rich guy that comes out and brags about himself all the time. Well you always said diamonds were a girls best friend."
"I mean John Cena." Elena replied, laughing at her friend's naivity. "The hot one with about 50 marry me signs in the audience each week. He asked me out the moment he met me."
"The freestyling guy? Wouldn't pick him to be your type." Katie replied. "Then again, anything with a dick is your type, girl."
"Shut up slut." Elena shot back jokingly. "I guess I could ask if he wants to come."
"Can you bring your brother along too? Come on, I've done you favours before and you know how badly I've wanted him." Katie replied. She still had a slight crush on Rene, it was the only reason she actually watched Smackdown with Elena in the first place. Meeting him had only made her feel it even more.
"Okay, just don't start giving me visuals." There was a knock at the door, telling Elena that John was waiting for her. "Listen I have to go, I'll call you later tonight and I'll ask them both."
-------
"Come on, just sneak on to the bus with me." John wrapped his arm around Elena. "You won't get in trouble, I promise."
"I can't. Apparently there's this new angle they want to take and they have to discuss it with Rene and I. So I'm sorry, but it will only be a couple of hours." Elena kissed John, not caring that a whole bunch of superstars were standing around and watching.
John watched Elena walk onto her bus. Charlie came up behind him. "So, I'm guessing last night went well. Heard you got busted by one of the crew, making out in the Cruiserweights locker room."
"Yep and we're spending New Years together aswell. At this huge party with one of her modelling friends." John pictured the scene in his head as he walked onto the bus with Charlie. "I get to walk around in a room full of male models and personally rub it in their face that they can't have Elena."
"That's great man." Charlie leaned back in his seat. "Jackie wants to surprise me. I won't know where we're going until I get to the airport. I love when she does stuff like that."
"Atleast she's your valet and you and Rico actually get along. I don't know what I'm going to do about Rene." John thought about the night before. "He gets up in my face last night, accusing me of leaving woman heartbroken and ditching them at the altar. Stuff like that."
Charlie was hesistant in answering, because part of it was true, though he tried to be reassuring. "He's just looking out for his sister. Don't worry about him."
"Yeah, already had that conversation with Elena last night. She said if I want to really be committed to her I have to accept that Rene comes first when it comes to certain stuff. I really like her and I believe she's worth it but what am I going to do if he really becomes a complete pain in the ass?"
"All you can do is prove that he's being paranoid. I'm guessing that he's going to this party." Charlie told him. "Just show him there, it should keep his mouth shut. Elena's worth it, he shouldn't be a problem."
Jackie walked up the aisle. "You better not be checking out the new Diva, because that will cost you." She slipped onto Charlie's lap.
"I'm guessing you didn't see the huge display John and Elena just put on outside. Besides, you're the only girl for me." Charlie kissed Jackie on the lips before standing up. "Just think about it John."
John looked at them before turning to stare out the window. A part of him wished that he and Elena could be like Charlie and Jackie. He knew that he was probably just thinking of reasons to run from another relationship, but he was determined to put it all aside to prove Rene wrong.
