Chapter 14
A silky familiar voice said, "There will be no yelling when John gets here, because John doesn't feel like yelling." Kira's head popped up as John stepped into the ring. Kira scrambled to her feet...She just stood looking at John with his white t-shirt, jean shorts, tenny shoes and his baseball cap on.
Kira was chewing on her lip with John standing not more then 3 feet from her...John couldn't take it anymore and said, "Please come over here and hug me before I die." Kira smiled softly and wasted no time walking over and getting in his arms. John's huge arms surrounded her whole body as he pulled her into his...and her arms went around his neck and shoulders.
John could feel her shaking in his arms...She had the sniffles, he knew she was crying. She had her hand closed and fisted part of his t-shirt...Like she was holding on for dear life. John couldn't help but get misty eyed. John's voice was shaky when he said, "Damn girl, you'd think I was never coming back the way you're holding on." Kira took a shaky breath and said, "It really felt like it." John said, "Do we want to talk here or go back to the hotel?" Kira said, "I don't care...It's really up to you...All you have to do is listen."
John rubbed Kira's back and said, "C'mon let's go back to the hotel...We'll both be more comfortable there." Kira nodded as she pulled away and was wiping her eyes. John reached up and wiped her eyes with his thumbs, trying to calm her down. They headed back to the hotel...once there, she changed into her sleeping attire which was usually boy shorts and a tank top, but she was a little cold and pulled on some soft material black track pants.
John changed into his white track pants as he sat down on the couch and waited for Kira to emerge from the bathroom. She finally emerged and as she sat down she pulled her hair over her shoulder like always. John moved closer as she tucked her knees into her chest and John held out his hand...She looked at John's beautiful blue eyes and let a shaky hand go into his as he covered it with the other hand and rubbed it and said, "Okay...I'm calm...Talk to me."
Kira ran her free hand down her cheek and said, "I guess starting with the truth is good right?" John nodded as Kira said, "The night before you left, you were wasted, but you didn't pass out...I got worried about your safety and brought you back to the hotel...I walked you up to your room and you pulled me in the room with you...I was sure you didn't realize it was me...but I started to leave and you asked me to stay with you...I didn't have an objections, and I wanted to just stay in the same bed with you before you had to leave."
Kira took a breath and said, "I looked up at you and you leaned down and kissed me...and the nasty taste of Beer and Tequila should've been enough of a warning for me to stop it...You was too wasted to stop and I couldn't...and I didn't want too...We ended up making love...When it was over, I guess you could say I freaked out...I didn't have the guts to stay and I sure as hell didn't have the guts to tell you what happened the next morning. I wasn't sure I would of liked your reaction...And I didn't want to find out what it would have been."
John reached over and grabbed a tissue and handed it to Kira...She took it and wiped her eyes...John said, "Is that all?" Kira shook her head no and suddenly started crying harder...John took that as his cue to say, "That baby was mine...wasn't it?" Kira couldn't stop crying and just nodded. John's head fell back against the cushions of the couch...Kira could see his chest rising and falling a little faster.
John shook his head no and said, "Why didn't you tell me Kira? Were you that ashamed to be pregnant from me or scared...or what?" Kira couldn't stop the tears and through several shaky breaths said, "I didn't want to ruin your life." John's head snapped up and said, "What...Why would you think that?"
Kira pulled her hand from John's as she stood up and started pacing and said, "Oh C'mon John...You have everything going for you...You've got a great life time career, you were shooting a movie, and when you get back they are going to give you the US title back and plus a shot for the Heavy weight gold at WrestleMania. I mean c'mon, I was already ruining my life by bringing a baby into the world and not knowing a damn thing about being a mother...I wasn't about to ruin your life too..."
John said, "Come back over and sit down..." Kira walked over and sat down and John pulled her to him...He said, "Calm down please...I can't take you crying like this, you're breaking my heart literally."
Kira calmed down a bit more and John said, "Is this everything?" Kira shook her head no and John raised his eye brows and said, "No?" Kira shook her head again and he said, "Okay continue." Kira said, "I love you." John said, "I know that honey, but keep going." Kira said, "No John...I love you...When we did make love, I couldn't stop you because I loved you so much. I mean hello...tonight marks the 4 years we've been best friends...But I stopped seeing you as a best friend 3 years ago."
John closed his eyes...She did not just admit she was in love with him...he was praying he heard it all wrong...His best friend did not just say she loves him as much as he loves her...Kira touched his forearm and said, "John, Please say something."
Everything sort of went in slow motion, John got his breathing under control as he opened his eyes and looked at Kira, her violet eyes were blood shot from crying so hard, John couldn't stop himself this time, he took her face in both hands and pulled her to him as he captured her lips with his...What really made the moment even better is when she started kissing him back...They kept kissing as he carefully moved her around so her upper body was in his arms as they tongues caressed each other and ever soft space and spot in each others mouths.
John could feel Kira had her fingers weaved into his short hair at the back of his neck and loved the feeling of it being her that was caressing him as he practically kissed her breathless...They spent the entire night just laying on the couch kissing...No words were spoken...Nothing needed to be spoken...everything would be handled in the morning, when they both had clearer heads.
