Chapter 21

Kira was so happy to finally be home...She'd never been so happy in all her life. She had 3 days all to herself before she had to get back for Raw house shows. Boston was so quiet. She realized John was only 1 hour away in West Newbury...but he was actually across the states in California for Smackdown.

Kira flopped onto her couch and leaned over and placed her cell phone on the coffee table on vibrate...she was going to take herself a nap...and maybe if she felt like it, she'd check her messages on her answering machine. She laid back and let the tiredness slip her into dream land...Before she knew it she was out for the next 4 hours.

She woke up and it was close to 8 pm. She ordered some Chinese food and waiting for it...She showered really fast before her food got there...once it did she paid the guy and walked into the kitchen putting it on a plate...Her home phone started ringing, but she'd decided she was going to just leave it...she'd call who ever was trying to sell her some weird 'How to save your love' book tomorrow and tell them she had enough saving and was going to jump off a cliff.

The last couple of weeks since the dance with Randy had felt unusual between then now. They'd started dancing at the clubs after Raw now...and last night was no exception. She'd really come to enjoy her friendship with Randy...but somehow she was torn. She missed John and the Smackdown crew more then anything...but She knew she was starting to have feelings for Randy...but also knew they'd never be up to par for what she felt for John.

Kira's answering machine kicked on...obviously this sales person was determined...

'Hey it's Kira I'm not here right now, cause I'm being abducted by the WWE aliens...if you can't reach me on my cell and you can't catch me here...Obviously they've already taken me to the mother ship...Leave a message...BEEP...'

The line was quiet for a minute, before a voice...a VERY familiar voice said, "Hey Kira...It's...Its John...I know I'm probably the last person you expect to hear from...Hell, I'm probably the last person you want to hear from. Where are you anyways...You should be home already...I hope everything's alright. Look I know this probably sounds stupid...but I called to ask you to go on a date with me...but I should of asked you a long time ago...Please don't say no...Just give me a fast painless yes...and I promise to make it worth your while. I've been thinking about everything that went down at WrestleMania...I have to tell you...I miss having you cheer in my corner...I'm sorry...I really am...I was stupid, pigheaded and the hugest asshole Kira nodded her head in agreement on the face of the planet. I was too chicken shit and too fuckin scared to tell you what nearly every one except you knew...I'm in love with you girl...I realize it might be too little too late...But I had to tell you...GOD I can't believe I just told you all that to that stupid machine...I really hate talking to these things...Please when you get home flush this tape down the toilet and take a crowbar or hammer to that dumb machine...Call me back please...I miss you Kira..."

The line went dead.

Kira just stood there staring at her answering machine. She couldn't believe anything she heard. When she finally got her legs and body to move again she called Lisa and asked her what was going on. Lisa said, "You heard the message...other then that I can't tell you...Are you gonna call him back and accept the date?"

Kira said, "I don't know...I can't believe he told me he was in love with me and I never saw it...I wonder how long." Lisa said, "As long as you've been in love with him." Kira said, "LISA! Why didn't someone tell me?" Lisa said, "It's called love for a reason...it has to happen when it wants to...you can't FORCE it into place...you can't force it on anyone."

Kira said, "What am I going to do?" Lisa said, "Can't help you with that either babe...I gotta run, Tyson is here...he said he's got something big planned for tonight. When you decide let me know...So I can cheer you on." Kira said, "Yea, well when I figure it out...you'll be the second to know." Lisa said, "Who will be the first?"

Kira said, "Me."

They hung up as Kira sat at the desk that had her answering machine on it and re-played John's message about 140 times...Trying to decide...Hell what could she decide?
