Chapter 2

Kira, John and the rest of the Smackdown roster sat through yet another boring meeting.

John's head was propped up with his elbow on the table...and Kira had her head resting on the exposed bicep that was helping prop up John's head. John felt Kira lay her head on his arm, and let his head slid down until it was resting on hers.

Kira smiled inwardly when she felt John's head resting against hers. She sighed contently. As they both sat there sipping their coffee and trying to pay attention to Stephanie.

John whispered in Kira's ear, "The next time I have some wet paint to watch drying would you care to join me...I'd rather kill myself with paint fumes right now, then have to sit through another one of these damn meetings." Kira covered her mouth and stifled a laugh as she buried her face into John's bicep. John heard her giggling into his arm and couldn't help but feel the tickle of the vibration in his arm.

Somehow her chestnut hair had slid over his arm and was hanging down...he loved to smell her hair...she always smelled like the Sunflowers perfume. John had never seen someone with such long and thick hair as Kira had...He loved to touch it...and loved running his fingers through it.

When the meeting was finally over, John walked Kira down to her office as she got started scooping out hotels for the guys for the house shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, John sat down across from her with his foot propped against her desk.

John said, "Please tell me I'm dead...I hate those meetings...I could seriously take a nap after one of those for the next 3 days." Kira laughed as she stuck a pencil in her hair to keep it up and out of her face and said, "Well...you don't have 3 days...but if you want close my door and snooze on the couch for 2 hours...I'll wake you up an hour before Smackdown starts."

John said, "You're a life saver Kira." John dropped his foot as he closed the door kicked his tenny shoes off and laid on the couch with his chest facing the back of the couch. Once Kira heard John's labored breathing, she went over and pulled her small blanket out of her backpack and laid it over his arms.

Kira sat at her desk for about 15 minutes and to say she was blatantly staring at John was not the total truth, but in between reserving rooms and rental cars for all the wrestlers...she couldn't help but sneak glances at John. For 30 minutes straight she actually stopped what she was doing to watch him sleep.

Kira knew there was no way in hell she could ever tell John how she truly felt about him...he was the first person she met when she started working for the company 3 years ago...He'd become a best friend to her and fast, practically over night. Most of the Divas hated the fact that John was so close to Kira...they had all tried to infiltrate his life or system in some way, shape or form...John wasn't having any of that.

John didn't like the Divas...he got along with them for the most part, but by the second year Kira had been employed with WWE, they had gossiped and lied about their friendship so bad that Kira nearly walked away from her job and John. John just came right out and said they were best friends and how dare they treat another WWE employee so rudely and with such little regard...he had the whole issue squashed in 4 weeks.

Kira was so thankful to him...she was so excited about being able to stay and keep her job, she grabbed his face and kissed his lips...John was a little taken back by it, cause he wasn't expecting it, but nothing for nothing, Kira could kiss...She nearly knocked John right out of his Hanes socks and Nike tenny shoes.

John couldn't help but actually kiss her back...when she pushed off from him, she blushed furious and then apologized like there was no tomorrow...John said it was fine as he walked away thoroughly shocked. The worst part about the whole kiss was that's when her heart had decided to let her fall in love with him...

The only thing she didn't know was...John felt the same exact way...but he just wasn't sure if he wanted to ruin a friendship for a couple of months of fun...which is how long most of his relationships lasted...3/4 of his relationships didn't last longer then 5 or 6 months...so after being with her for 5 or 6 months, would they be able to mend themselves enough to just go back to being best friends again?

John wasn't willing to risk it...especially since he knew Kira didn't feel the same way for him.

Kira woke him up as promised and watched as he took off to get ready for his match.

Nope...she'd never tell him...She couldn't...even if she wanted to...she wouldn't.
