Sorry that the past few chapters have been slow, I have a few tricks up my sleeves though! Wait and see! Thanks for reading by the way...

Icy Rabbit - I reviewed your story 'Doesn't Even Notice Me' and I didn't finish what I had wanted to say.. LOL! I wanted to say that... "What did she just call me?" Stacey shrieked. Trish sat next to Stacey, "She called you a byotch," Trish answered. Stacey rolled her eyes, "I know what she called me Trish, God you are so stupid!" ... is my fave line from Mean Girls! In my opinion, although Stacy plays Regina's role, I think Trish would suit her roles a little better, Stacy is too 'sweet'. LOL but I know you wanna pair her with Randy... wink wink

MarTW00, Ana Michelle, Ms. Cena RKO and viper-sa - Thank you, thank you, thank you! For always reviewing this fic! You guys rock and can't even tell you how much you guys own!

Chapter Sixteen

Everyone was fast asleep on the plane. After a heart-wrenching visit to see the troops, everyone was knackered, you could tell by the ear-splitting snores which hollered throughout the aircraft cabin. John turned to Torrie who was wide-awake and gazing blankly into space.

"So we're finally going home…" John smiled as he nudged Torrie to get her attention.

"Yeah," she turned to him, nodding. "I'm glad I came though."

John nodded it agreement as he put his hand in hers. The two of them had to be discreet about their feelings, although there was no point in hiding it. They would be together soon if a few days.

"It was great seeing the troops," John added.

"Yeah," she agreed. "We did a good deed."

Seeing the troops may have been a good deed, but who can forget the bad deed…

"Why don't I feel good about myself though?" she asked. He put his arm around with a chuckle and kissing her cheek.

"We will after we put our little plan in action…" he guaranteed her.

"But having to break up with Randy on Christmas Eve… isn't it a bit harsh?"

"Just do it as soon as possible…" John answered as he cupped her face with his hands and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I have to be with you as soon as possible…"

"I don't know if I can do it…" she pouted folding her arms.

"But you want to right?" he asked.

"Of course I do! But it's easier said than done…"

"It'll work out, just promise me you'll do it?" he asked with his cheeky grin. "Promise?"

"Promise," she smiled faintly. He smiled as he sat back in his seat with his eyes closed, trying to rest. Torrie sighed. As much as she wanted to be with John, she sensed something was wrong. Something gave her the feeling that something would go astray…

She shut her eyes and tried not to think about it too much. She forced herself to sleep by closing her eyes securely, which didn't work. She opened her eyes and shook her head, massaging her aching, confused head.

John had fallen asleep already. She rested her head on his shoulder and felt relaxed already. The scent of his cologne tickled her nose, she felt his hand slink around her neck, bringing her closer.

"Sleep…" he hushed, embracing her tightly. Torrie felt secure and fell asleep in no time…

"We're home!!!" Dawn blared in Torrie's ear, startling her and causing her to jump out of John's arms.

"Whoa!" Torrie cried, sitting up. John woke up too and rubbed his eyes. The plane had already landed.

"We're home! We're finally home!" Dawn sang, with a wide smile splattered across her face. It wasn't only the fact that they were home that made her smile, seeing John and Torrie hugging was somewhat… cute?!

"Man it's good to be back!" sighed Charlie as he stretched his arms upwards, arching his back. They passengers collected their belongings and lined up by the doors, waiting to get out. All of them annoyed at Dawn who kept singing idiotically.

"Shut up… yawned John who lined up, standing behind Torrie. Dawn, who was standing in front of Torrie, kept yanking on her arm and yelling excitedly.

"We're home! We're home!" she screamed.

"Get me out of here!" pleaded Torrie to John. At long last, the doors opened as Dawn rushed out, followed by a line of drowsy wrestlers.

They all stepped out of the airport and breathed a sigh of relief. The cool winter air refreshed them all and instantly brought smiles to their faces. Everyone was in the Christmas spirit. Lights, banners and ornaments decorated the airport terminals and arrival halls. The gang joyously chattered away, talking about Christmas plans as they hopped onto their luxury coach.

"Thank goodness it isn't a van!" Rey chirped. Eddie and Show cheered with him as they all raced onto the bus. Torrie and John stood aside, watching the others go in first and wishing them a Merry Christmas.

"So you're not coming on the bus?" asked John with a frown.

"No, Randy's gonna pick me up…" answered Torrie as she picked up her bag and pulled it over her shoulder, "He should be here soon…"

"So will this be the last time I see you?" he asked with a sense of disappointment on his face.

"I guess so," she shrugged with a sigh. "Unless I see you on New Year's Eve or something…"

"Which reminds me…" said John, remembering he had something important to ask her. "You remember my family right?"

"John what do you think I am?" she chuckled. "Of course I do! How could I forget?"

"And how could I forget yours!" he laughed. "Well anyway, we're having dinner on New Year's Eve at my place and I was wondering if you wanna come… unless you have plans with your family and stuff cos that's cool…"

"I'd love to!" she smiled gracefully.

"Ok then!" he chuckled excitedly, accidentally letting out a snort. John looked embarrassed as Torrie just laughed it off and pulled him into a quick hug. John looked over Torrie's shoulder and saw Dawn grinning stupidly at him, talk about ruining the moment…

"So I'll see you then!" she smiled as she waved goodbye at him.

"See ya!" he waved back as he boarded the coach.

"Don't forget what you're meant to do!" winked Torrie.

"I won't, trust me!" he chortled.

"Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year," Dawn said to Torrie with a tight hug.

"Yeah you too, I'll miss you!" Torrie added.

"I'll miss you too babe, take care!" Dawn said waving and getting onto the coach. Torrie waved at everyone on the bus, they waved back. The automatic doors of the bus shut with a vacuuming sound.

"It's so sad to see them go…" sobbed a familiar voice. Torrie turned around only to see Randy there with a fake pout on his face. "Boohoo!"

"Hey you!" she chuckled, she jumped forward and hugged him. She closed her eyes and tightened the hug, there was something about him that was so welcoming and familiar… his cologne maybe? It smelt a little like John's…

"Don't I get a kiss?" he asked cheekily, interrupted her train of thought. Torrie laughed as she pulled his face closer and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Now that's more like it!"

"You like that? I've got more of that for you tomorrow night!" she teased him with a wink, he raised his eyebrows in delight with the lop-sided grin on his face. He collected her bags for her as they proceeded to the car.

"Well could I get a sneak preview in the car perhaps?" he joked, loading her things into the boot of the car. "I have been a good boy!"

"Is that so?" Torrie asked slamming the trunk.

"Yes, I've been very good!" grinned Randy cockily as he sat in the driving seat. "As a matter of fact, I have something for you. You'll see it tomorrow."

"I can't wait," she smiled as he smiled back.

She fastened her seatbelt with a sigh and turned around to see Randy with a puzzled expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Jet lag," she lied. He nodded, thinking that she probably would have been tired due to that long flight.

"Did you sleep well there?" he questioned. Torrie froze and didn't reply. "Huh?"

"I didn't sleep much…" she answered as she brushed blonde streaks of hair away from her face. Which was true as she was off doing 'other things' and even when she thought she was sleeping, she was up to something mischievous.

"Was it the time-difference?"

"No, not even that…" she smirked slightly. "I missed you,"

"I missed you too," he cooed, rubbing her lap lightly. The two remained quiet as they drove out of the airport car park. Torrie watched him quietly. There was a look in his soft blue eyes that she just couldn't resist, or maybe it was his dimples or that cocky, adorable smirk of his. Whatever it was, it made it harder for her to break the news to him. She didn't want to let him go, she had such strong feelings for him. But those feelings were incomparable to those she hadfor John. But still, something wasn't right…
