Finally John was able to relax for once the whole night—he entered his hotel room and took in the fresh scent of roses. Dropping the key card on the night stand with whatever else was in his pockets, he took off his shirt. Tossing it over a chair, John proceeded to kick off his sneakers. Walking into the bathroom he turned on the shower and then unbuckled his belt. Just as he was about to finish undressing, he saw his cell phone vibrating from the nightstand. Sighing he turned off the water and ran to answer it. Looking at the monitor he clicked the send button knowing it was Randy.
" What up Rand?" John greeted
" Hey man, I just wanted to tell you that the girl who's the editor for that magazine was hired tonight by Bischoff to be a reporter on RAW." Randy replied
" You serious?" John asked
" Yeah, a worker backstage told me after you left." Randy replied
" Alright, thanks man. I'll talk to you tomorrow, I'm about to head in the shower then call it a night." John said
" No prob. Later man." Randy replied as they both hung up. John then headed back onto the bathroom and finally took his shower. The water felt good as it pounded his skin, he turned his back to the shower head and let it hit it in hopes that it would ease his pain. John ran his hands over his head and washed the remaining soap off his skin. Turning off the shower, he grabbed a towel and exited the stall. Wrapping the towel around his waist, John walked out of the bathroom and dried off before he put on a pair of black boxers. When he placed the towel back in the bathroom, he turned off the light and flopped down on the bed. He picked up the remote and started to flick through cancels in hopes of finding something to watch. Landing on FX he started watching Shallow Hal. But soon Shallow Hal was watching him. The last thing that he saw was the scene were Gwyneth Paltrow threw her underwear at Jack Black. As John slipped into dreamland, he let the remote slide down his side and started to snore lightly. Deeply asleep now John soon experienced images dancing around his closed eyes. A dream state took him over and he was fantasying about Julia. Visions of her walking into the room wearing black Victoria Secret underwear and swaying her hips as she moved to the bed. She crawled up the mattress like a cat and easily found her way into John's arms. Without a word John's face moved towards hers, he barely had time to take a breath before her lips closed against his. His tongue slid forward, tasting the skin of her lower lip before darting into her mouth. Moaning, Julia did the same and nibbled on John's lip. Fire shot through his body when her hands moved against his chest, gently pushing him down and straddling his waist. John then proceeded to roll her over, but just as he was on top of her, he heard a ringing sound in his ear. Abruptly waking out of his dream, John reached over the nightstand and was about to smack to hell out of his alarm clock, but realized it was his cell phone vibrating against it. Grunting he picked it up and flipped it open. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, John noticed that it was Randy.
" Do you have any fuckin' idea what time it is?" John greeted drowsily
" Good morning to you too sunshine. And yes I know what time it is, eight a.m to be exact. Time to get up and get some breakfast before we head over to the meeting." Randy replied
" What meeting?" John yawned tossing the blanket off of himself then swinging his legs over the edge of the bed
" Meet and greet—you know when new workers arrive there's a lunch to introduce them to everyone so they don't feel odd during the show." Randy replied
" Grrr I forgot about that…..give me a few minutes to get ready. I'll meet you downstairs in the lobby." John said
" Ten minutes man, I'm hungry. Besides, your just seeing my ass. No need to impress me, just throw something on and move it." Randy replied hanging up. John sighed and tossed his phone across the bed. He dropped back down on the bed and attempted to get a few more minutes of sleep. But, just as he fell asleep his alarm clock started to ring. Cursing, John slapped the annoying device and finally got out of bed.

When John was ready, he picked up his phone, wallet, and key before putting on his black NY cap. He was wearing a black Southpole t-shirt, grey sweat pants, and white G-Unit sneakers. Walking out the door he pressed the button for the elevator—John cranked his knuckles waiting for the elevator to open and as he heard the ding his mouth hit the floor.
" Well I'll be damned." he laughed, John entered the elevator and smiled as Julia lowered her head in frustration. He looked her over noticed she was wearing a pair of Beige Capri pants, a white tank top, and white flip flops. Her hair was pulled into a tight ponytail and she had light brown shades on top of her head.
" Just shut up and enjoy the ride." Julia commented as she locked her eyes on the elevator doors
" Aren't we the morning person." John replied standing next to her, " By the way congrats on becoming a RAW reporter."
" How the hell did you know about that?" Julia asked
" I have my ways." he replied as they reached the lobby, " But, seriously why won't you give me the time of day Julia?"
" Because for me fall for you, you have to show me something worth tripping over." she replied as she walked out first
" Is that a request Ms. Martin?" John asked
" No." Julia replied
" Playing hard to get is a difficult game. Be careful cause you might fall for me sooner then you think." he said as she laughed. As John exited the elevator, Randy of course was watching the scene from the sofa arena. John walked over to him and placed his hands in his pockets.
" Why don't you get give up man? Not every woman is going to fall for you." Randy stated
" Looks who's talking, " Mr. I am perfection." You think your God's gift to women just cause Trish called you sexy." John replied
" Well I can't help it, when the man's got it. What can I say." Randy gloated as John sighed, " But what the hell man I'm hungry. Lets eat before the crowd starts pilling in." Randy said as they headed to the dinning hall. They weren't really surprised to see most of the RAW roster already serving themselves to breakfast. John and Randy quickly made their way inside and gathered various foods on their awaiting plates then grabbed a tabled next to Sheldon Benjamin, Shane Helms, and Victoria.
" What? No morning cartoons for you guys?" Victoria asked
" That's on Saturdays Vic." Randy replied already devouring his meal, John didn't even reply as he stuffed his mouth with eggs and beacon.
" You guys seen the new reporter Bischoff hired?" Sheldon asked as Randy glanced at John
" Touch her and die Benjamin." John mumbled while chewing his food
"Already got your eyes on her Cena?" Victoria asked
" But she doesn't even like the best bone of him." Randy interrupted as John threw a rolled up napkin at him. It was then John noticed the divas sitting two tables in front of them. Christy, Stacy, Maria, and Julia were eating and chatting away. John watched Julia closely and smiled as she moved her eyes in his direction. She rolled her eyes and frowned at him. John smiled, she's cute when she frowns, he thought. He licked his lips and blew a kiss at her to her disgust.
" Dude, did you just blow a kiss at me?" Randy asked drinking his orange juice
" What? Hell no! Julia's behind you." John replied, Randy turned around and waved at Christy then did his famous smile.
" Turn around you pretty bitch your blocking my view." John commented as Victoria laughed and Randy narrowed his eyes at him. John's eyes found Julia again and he laughed as she was aiming a fork dangerously in his direction.

At the divas tabled….
Julia continued to eat her food even though she could feel John looking across from her. She just wanted to eat in peace and not be bothered by the so called Champ. Christy looked at her new friend and laughed at how she was reacting to John's obvious liking of her.
" Looks like the doctor is looking for a nurse." she teased
" He can kiss my black ass." Julia replied
" I bet he would love to." Stacy commented
" He's a jerk—I mean I run into his type all the time. He's just some hip hop obsessed white boy….no offense. Looking for a black girl with a big butt to say he had a piece of." Julia said
" John's a good guy Julie….I myself have never really seen him as being the player type." Christy replied
" Yeah well he hasn't been breathing down your neck or staring at your ass Chrissie. He just seems…..like….hell I don't know. I just know he's a jerk and an asswhole." Julia said
" Johnny nothing like that. Trust me, he's one of the nice ones." Stacy stated, Julia chuckled and glanced back at the so called " good guy". He started to mouth something to her and she watched his lips closely to figure out what he was saying. After a few seconds she sighed as he said, " You look sexy today." In return Julia gave him the finger and mouthed " Fuck you" back to him. She was pleased when he continued back to his food and allowed to eat in peace. When all the divas were done, Maria and Stacy left to go to the bathroom. Just as Julia was raising up from her chair, she felt someone breathing by her neck. She wanted to bang her head against the table as John trapped her between his arms and rested his hands on the table. He rested his chin on her shoulder and smiled as she smelled like baby power.
" Can I help you?" Julia asked annoyed
" You know you have a very naughty mouth," John started as lips brushed against her right ear, " If we weren't in public I think you should get a spanking for using words like that."
" You mean like this when I say, what-the-fuck-ever!" she replied
" You know I kind of like it when you talk dirty." he said as Julia grunted in anger, " Ooh she groans, does she moan too?"
" Move! Or I'll fork your ass, you perverted ass clown." Julia warned as John only snickered then gentlemanly helped her out of her seat.
" Can I at least get a thank you?" John asked
" Thank you and kiss off Cena!" Julia replied walking away
