Chapter 2:
Tuesday, April 20th
Cristina sighed while flipping through a magazine, her and Laura were in the arena watching, well Laura was watching, John practice in the ring.
"Isn't he just great?" Laura said dreamily as she kept her eyes on John.
Cristina rolled her eyes and continued to read the magazine article, Laura looked over at Cristina and sighed, "You know Cristy--You need a man, you deserve to be happy just like me".
Cristina put the magazine down and raised her eyebrow at Laura, "You mean happy as in not having a life and waiting by the phone all day in case he calls? Gee--I'm really missing out".
Laura flicked Cristina off as a response to her sarcastic remark, Cristina smiled and said, "No thanks hun--that's John's job".
"Shut up!" Laura said as she pushed Cristina. "Seriously though--I'm going to hook you up with someone--someone here".
Cristina sighed and lifted the magazine up to finish reading, "No thanks Laura--if I wanted a phone relationship I'd call up one of those personal ads".
"It's not just a phone relationship Cristy--With John and I, it's so much more than that", Laura said.
Cristina looked over at Laura and said, "Oh yes--It's like that movie type love isn't it? Where boy meets girl and girl thinks-no KNOWS he's the one and they get married and live happily ever after? Please Laura--Let me introduce you to a thing I like to call REALITY!"
Laura glared at Cristina, "You know just because you are scared of love doesn't mean it doesn't exists!"
Cristina let out a sarcastic laugh, "Me scared of love? HA! That's like being freaked out about the boogy man, how can you be scared of something that doesn't exsist?!" Cristina threw down the magazine and walked off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cristina was walking around the arena for what it seemed like the billionth time that afternoon when she ran into someone.
"What the--oh hey Garcia!"
Cristina looked up to see John smiling down at her, Cristina sighed and tried to push past him, John grabbed her arm and said, "Hey-what's up with you?"
Cristina snatched her arm back and said, "Nothing-just bored out of my fucking mind".
John smiled and said, "Yeah it gets like that sometimes".
Cristina looked around John, "Where's Laura? I thought you two would be tied by the leg", she said.
John shrugged, "She's with Torrie somewhere--she seemed upset earlier, you know what's wrong?"
"Let's just say that the truth hurts--and in her case it's a hard smack on the face", Cristina said.
John looked confused, "Um okay--well if you're really bored you can come to the gym with me and work out".
Cristina sighed and said, "Sure why not?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About two hours later:
"Damn Garcia--how much do you work out?" John asked as he held the punching bag for Cristina as she hit it.
Cristina continued to punch as she said, "Three times--a week in the gym--I run--the other three days and rest on Sunday".
Cristina stopped and sat down on the bench and drank from her water bottle, John sat down on the floor and stretched out his legs. "You know you're more in shape than most of the women wrestlers", John pointed out.
Cristina shrugged, "When you're a dancer you got to be in mad shape" she said.
John stopped stretching and sat down on the bench beside Cristina and took a drink from her water bottle, "Laura doesn't work out as much as you though", he said.
"Yeah, well she's the type that can eat whatever the hell she wants and doesn't gain a pound, me on the other hand if I eat a steak I'm in the gym for an hour working it off", Cristina said.
John laughed, "Well looking at you; no one would ever know that".
Cristina smiled, "So--three years-when you going to pop the big question?"
John almost choked on the water, "Marriage?"
Cristina rolled her eyes, "What else you idiot? She's been bothering me about it for the past month, "I wonder if he's going to propose? I hope he does I want to spend the rest of my life with him!" It's really annoying at times", she said.
John sighed and handed Cristina the water, "Damn--I haven't even thought about it, I mean I love her and all but marriage? I don't think were ready for that".
"No-you're not ready for it", Cristina pointed out.
"Why are all of our conversations circled around Laura?" John asked.
Cristina shrugged, "Only thing we have in common I guess".
"No-we used to have a lot in common, you know we were friends before Laura came into the picture", John said.
"We still are friends Cena", Cristina said in a "duh" tone.
"Doesn't seem like it--we never hang out anymore, I miss that", John said.
"Well you're always with Laura when your home", Cristina said.
"Yeah and when we invite you to come with us, you never do", John pointed out.
"I'm not about to become the third wheel and besides you guys never see each other, she's supposed to be your first priority, not me", Cristina said as she stood up.
John stood up and grabbed her arm; "you have no idea do you?" He asked.
Cristina raised her eyebrow and said, "What are you talking about?"
John walked closer to Cristina and cupped her face, before he could respond the door opened to reveal Laura on the other side, Cristina jumped away from John and quickly gathered her stuff.
"Hey you two, working out?" Laura asked as she walked over to John and gave him a kiss.
"Yeah, but I'm tired so I'll just go cool down somewhere", Cristina said as she went to leave.
"Hey Cristy, I was gonna ask you if you wanna come to dinner with John and I after the show", Laura said.
"Um--no thanks you two need some time alone-doing whatever it is you do, so I'll see you two later", Cristina said as she rushed out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the Smackdown taping:
Cristina sighed as she waited for John and Laura to drive her back to the hotel, she knew that coming on the road with them would be a bad idea.
"Hey", said a voice from behind her.
Cristina turned around and saw a tall guy with blond hair smiling at her, she sighed, too tired to be her usual smartass self and responded with, "Hey".
"I don't think I've seen you around here, I'm Charlie", Said the guy.
"Cristina, I'm with John", Cristina said.
"Oh you're the girl he's been talking about?" Charlie asked.
"No that's probably his girlfriend Laura, I'm just the friend", Cristina said.
Charlie was about to correct her but decided against it, "do you need a ride to the hotel?" He asked.
"I'm supposed to be waiting for John and Laura but I guess they're too busy", Cristina said.
"Well sorry to say but I saw John and a girl leave like 5 minutes ago", Charlie said with a apologic look.
Cristina sighed and said, "Figures".
"You want me to give you a ride?" Charlie asked.
"If you don't mind", Cristina said softly. She was so tired of all of it that she didn't care how she got back to the hotel, just as long as she got there.
"It's no problem", Charlie said lightly as the two headed to the parking lot.
"So what's the deal with you traveling with them two?" Charlie asked as he drove toward the hotel a few minutes later.
"Call it temporary insanity--Laura wanted someone to entertain her while she was bored and I had nothing to do until fall so here I am", Cristina said.
Charlie laughed, "So how old are you?"
Cristina looked over and said, "Why does it matter?"
"Just asking--you look young", Charlie said.
"Should I take that as a compliment?" Cristina laughed.
"If you want--so what do you do for a living?" Charlie asked.
"I'm in college and I'm also a dancer", Cristina answered.
"Dancer huh?" Charlie joked.
Cristina laughed and slapped him, "Not like that, I do hip-hop dancing", she said.
"Well that's cool too--you going to be one of those backup dancers that wear nothing but thongs?" Charlie joked.
Cristina laughed, "No--I actually want to be a choreographer".
"Very ambitious", Charlie said. "How long have you been dancing?"
"Since I was six", Cristina said as Charlie pulled into the hotel parking lot.
The two headed inside and stopped at the elevators, Charlie turned to her and said, "Well I hope to see you around sometime".
"Yeah, you probably will be", Cristina said.
"I'm sorry about John", Charlie said.
Cristina shrugged, "Not the first time, thanks for the ride though".
"No problem, I'll see you this weekend", Charlie said as he headed in the elevator, Cristina smiled and gave a small wave before heading to her room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**So how was it? I really need opinions on this one, I was thinking on keeping Charlie as a main character and have Cristina possibly get involved with him or should I use another wrestler....or should I just not have her have another love interest? PLEASE Review and let me know what you think!!!!**
