Disclaimer: I do not own anyone you recognize. I only own Charlie and my friend owns my other oc Elizabeth.
Note: I don't know if I'm spelling the names right of the guys that are John's friends, but if they're misspelled I'm sorry. I don't know if John has a dog or if it's named what I named it. Remember ITS FICTION! Also for clarification if it says Mark…with a K then it means Mark Jindrak. If it says Marc…with a C then it means Marc Predka or as everyone else calls him Trademarc.
Chapter 7The next day Charlie heard her house phone ringing and got up to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hey princess."
"Hi daddy! How are yall?"
"Roberta and I are doing great. I was wondering your father could ask a small favor from his beautiful daughter."
"Sure daddy what's up?"
"Well you know I bought that house in Boston right?"
"Yeah what about it?"
"Well I was wondering if I could get you to decorate it for me. You know the things I like. Also I'd be hiring you as an interior decorator. So this would be a job not just a favor."
"You're only saying that so I'll take money from you."
"Honey please…"
"Ok daddy. I'll go over there right now and get a good look at everything."
"I take it your car made it there ok."
"Yeah. The Escalade made it here ok."
"Ok honey. Also…your cousin called."
"Which one?"
"Your favorite one."
"How are Kevin and DeLana?"
"Well he's been trying to get a hold of you for the past month or so. He finally found my cell phone number to get your new number…"
"Dad that's probably him calling my cell phone now. I'll talk to you later about the decorating. Love you daddy."
"Love you too princess."
Charlie ran into her bedroom where her cell phone was charging and smiled at the number on the screen.
"Hey Happy."
"Hey Dopey. You are one hard woman to track down."
"I know I'm sorry…shit's been happening. How are you Kevin?"
"Good. Look I need a favor and you're the only person I completely trust to ask since you've kinda been in a similar situation."
"Kevin you know you can ask anything. What's goin on?"
"I know you're gonna be pissed off all to hell because I didn't tell you sooner, but DeLana is pregnant. She's goin in her ninth month here and her due date is in two weeks. I can't be here for her so I was wondering if you'd fly here to stay with her incase something happens while I'm gone."
Charlie sat in shock. Kevin was none other than NASCAR NEXTEL Cup driver Kevin Harvick. He was her cousin and was actually more like a big brother to her. She was hurt that he didn't tell her that his wife was pregnant but it wasn't entirely his fault. She'd been havin so much goin on lately she didn't really call him either.
"Dopey you there?"
"Yeah. I'll do it."
"How soon can you be packed?"
"I can pack tonight."
"Ok I talked to Richard already and he said he'll send a jet for you. Where does it need to go?"
"Boston, Massachusetts."
"WHAT?"
"I moved here a few weeks ago. I've got friends here and a wonderful boyfriend."
"Ah shit Charlie…"
"No it's ok. He's not home much anyways nowadays."
"Why not?"
"No telling Elliott ok?"
"Ok…"
"You are so misunderstanding what I just said. I don't mean that in a romantic interest kind of thing Kevin. My boyfriend is a wrestler and Elliott is a huge fan of his."
"Who?"
"John Cena."
"DAMN!"
"I know."
Charlie and Kevin talked a little longer until Charlie saw John walk into her bedroom.
"Ok I'll talk to you more tomorrow. John just got here so I need to talk to him. I love you Kevin."
"Love you too Charlie."
Charlie flipped her cell phone shut and noticed John standing next to her bed. She kneeled on her bed in front of him and pulled him to lay on the bed with her. John had been busy the past two days and would be leaving tomorrow to go back on the road.
"What do you need to talk to me about ma?"
"Well first off my dad called. He wants me and Elizabeth to decorate the house he bought in Boston. He's gonna pay us and everything. Second my cousin Kevin called me. His wife is in her last month in pregnancy but because of his busy schedule he can't stay home with her."
"What does that have to do with you?"
"Kevin and I are very close. We practically grew up together when I was first born and always spent the whole summer together until this summer anyways. After his wife…I'm his best friend in the world and a person he trusts more than anything. He wants me to come there and stay with them until the baby is born since he can't be there all the time and she can't travel with him."
John sat up and got off the bed quickly. Charlie could tell he was angry.
"Charlie you said you were going to come with me on the road."
"I know honey, but he's my cousin. He'd do the same thing for me if the roles were reversed. He'd just have to leave on the weekends."
"What?"
"My cousin is Kevin Harvick. He's a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup driver."
"I don't really know what to say Charlie. I'm sure you need to pack so I'll let ya get to that."
Charlie just sat in shock as he left. She couldn't believe what was going on. They'd just got back together and things seemed ok. Now it was all back to square one. She packed her bags and got into the car that Richard, Kevin's boss, had sent for her. On the way to the airport her cell phone began to ring.
"Hello?"
"I'm sorry."
"No John I'm sorry."
"For what baby girl? You didn't act like a jackass…I did. I'm just mad because we were just getting good and now you have to go away for a few weeks."
"Well at least it's only until the baby is born. I don't want to be away from you. I told Kevin I was only staying until the baby was born and then I was coming back home. He said that was fine because her family was coming to help after."
"I wish you weren't going but I understand why you are. I'm sorry mama."
"I know baby. I know."
"I love you CC."
Charlie wiped the fallen tears away and smiled.
"How long have you been wanting to say that exactly?"
"Eh…a lil while."
"And you couldn't say it to me face to face huh?"
"Keep up the jokes ma and you're gonna be in trouble when you get back."
"I love you too John."
"Call me when you land?"
"Ok."
"Bye baby. I love you."
"Love you too baby."
Charlie flipped her cell phone shut and when she landed at the airport in North Carolina she kept her sunglasses on despite the fact it was a little dark outside.
"Hey Dopey."
"Hey Happy."
Kevin wrapped his arms around his cousin and soon felt tears falling onto him from her eyes. He just hugged her tighter feeling horrible from pulling her away from John after she'd told him what they'd been through.
"Don't apologize Kevin. I really don't want to hear it and it isn't even necessary. I just want this time to fly by quickly so I can meet my new baby cousin and get back to John."
Kevin nodded. Two weeks later in West Newbury, Marc and John had just arrived at Bass Camp.
"I'm tellin' you John it was her."
"Dude Madison moved away years ago. There's no way it was her Trademarc."
"John I know what I saw. She's back."
John just shook his head as the two walked into the area where all the guys were sitting.
"What's up man?"
"Trademarc is insisting that Madison's back."
"He doesn't believe me. Chaos man you were there with me that day. Tell him."
"He's right John. It was her. I don't know why she's back but she is."
John sighed and slid down the wall onto the floor. He couldn't believe it. Madison Winters was back. His ex-fiancé was back and he didn't know what was going to happen and that scared him more than anything.
"Hey guys…long time no see."
John looked up in shock. Madison was standing right there in front of him. Her once short blonde hair was now long and flowing down her back. Instead of the normal jeans and T-shirts she wore, today she wore a pink skirt, white halter-top, and pink flip-flops. Now the thing John worried about the most was if he could turn down his feelings that had flown back up and the temptation.
"Hey girl what are you doin back?"
"Well Chaos I moved back to take care of my mom. She's gotten really sick and so here I am. Hey John long time no see."
"Hi."
Madison smiled and walked over to where he now sat on one of the couches. She sat on his lap and gave him a hug. When Madison didn't move off of his lap, John caught his cousin and Chaos glaring at him. Later that night everyone was at John's having a small party to celebrate Madison's return. Madison had gotten beer spilt on her shirt and asked John if she could have a shirt of his to wear. He nodded and when he showed her to his room to get a shirt out of his closet she noticed a picture of him and a woman next to his bed.
'I didn't come back here to just see him with another woman. He was once mine and he will be again. Too bad he doesn't realize he's playing right into my trap. I knew getting these babies was well worth it. He's always been a breast man.'
"Here you go Madison."
When John came out of his closet to give her the shirt he was shocked to see her standing there with her shirt off already. As he looked up and down her body he felt one too many familiar feelings stir up. Certain parts of his body were starting to become affected as she walked right up to him. Madison took shirt from his hands and soon he felt her lips on his. John felt himself responding for a moment and then pushed her away softly.
"Madison I can't…"
'Time to put up the act…'
"Oh God John I'm so sorry. I've just been drinking way too much tonight with my mom and everything…I'm so sorry."
John just pulled the dropped shirt he'd he handed to her over her head and helped her slip her arms into it. As the two made their way downstairs, John noticed his cousin standing by himself.
"Hey man where's Lizzie?"
"She had to stop and get something first."
John nodded figuring she went to make a beer run or something. He pulled Madison into the kitchen and began talking to her since no one was in there.
"John again I'm really sorry."
"Maddy it's ok."
Meanwhile Elizabeth and Charlie entered John's house looking for Marc and John. Elizabeth noticed her boyfriend and let Charlie know Chaos had just told her that John was in the kitchen. Charlie nodded and smiled. She couldn't wait to see John. They'd talked on the phone every night but now she could finally see him in person and tell him she loved him in person.
"John thank you for everything. I knew I could count on you."
Out of the corner of her eye Madison recognized the woman now standing in the doorway as the woman in the picture. She placed a hand on the side of John's face and had to admit she was surprised when John leaned in to initiate the kiss this time. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed the happy look fade away and smiled while kissing John. Charlie couldn't believe what she'd seen. If she would have walked in a few minutes later she would have given John the chance to explain, but seeing him being the one to kiss this woman…that broke her heart. She felt someone walk up behind her and turned to see Randy with his mouth open in shock.
"JOHN!"
John pulled back from Madison and turned to the voice. He saw Randy standing there and then saw a woman pushing past Randy.
'Shit! I forgot she was coming back today.'
"CHARLIE!"
Madison smirked as she watched John leave.
"You realize by him running after her he doesn't want you right?"
Madison looked to her right and noticed John's cousin Marc.
"If he didn't want me he wouldn't have kissed me."
"You need to leave Madison and go back to wherever you were before."
"Can't. Mom's sick."
"Bull shit. Your mom isn't sick. I saw her earlier. She's fine. You heard John had finally moved on seriously and you didn't want that."
"What?"
Madison looked up at John who'd just come back into the kitchen. She glared at the woman that he'd had thrown over his shoulder and had just set down.
"Guys don't let her go anywhere. I have a feeling she and I both need to hear this explanation."
"I don't want to listen to anything. Your little whore there can have you cause I sure as hell don't want your cheating ass anymore. To think I came back early for fuckin nothing."
"What?"
"DeLana hasn't had the baby yet. They saw I wasn't happy so they told me to come back. So go on to your whore there John cause I'm done."
"Who are you callin a whore?"
"You don't know me and I sure as hell don't wanna know you. According to what we just overheard you wanted to break up me and John well congratulations bitch ya won. Its obvious the wanting isn't only one sided so I won't even fight you for him."
Charlie paused and looked at Randy, Marc, and Chaos who were blocking her exit.
"Now Randy I'd seriously advise you to let me go right now before I hurt you. You know I can too."
"Let me at least drive you home little bit."
"Ok."
John watched sadly and angrily as Charlie left with Randy. With each step she took his heart broke a little more, but he knew it was his own damn fault. He just hoped she'd give him another chance…even though he knew from his past mistake with her that she probably wouldn't.
