Chapter huit (I think that's 8 in french?? Haha, I know I got some girls that'll be on my back if it's wrong...)
Wrapping her arm around her brother, Lidia and Randy smiled big for the camera in front of them. The two of them were going to be a cover story on Raw Magazine and were having their pictures taken at a backstage Raw.
Seeing John watch from around a corner made Lidia a bit uncomfortable. She knew he was going to want to talk about the recent blow they had where Lidia made a comment about his man hood, and she knew this was going to be the conversation where John would again beg her to take him back, and promised to prove to Lidia and Randy that he is the nice guy that they read about.
"OK! Break time! You guys have your interview in fifteen minutes!" One of the assitants called out to the chaos around them. Barely hearing the assistant, Randy breathed a sigh of relief and dragged Lidia by the arm toward the food table.
"Tell me you are going to talk to him," Randy begged. Lidia nodded. "Good. You know he's a wreck, right?"
"Yea, I'll talk to you later, k? Madison is with Jericho and his kid, so if she goes up to you and ask for money, give her some cause Trish said something about a shopping trip." Randy nodded his head as he took a bite from a piece of apple.
Shoving her hands in her pockets, Lidia walked over to John, her head down and a sly smile on her face.
"Hey," she whispered, still not making eye contact with him.
"How long are you on a break for?" John asked, holding out his hand for her to take.
"Fifteen, but I can extended it to thirty. I am an Orton." Taking his hand in hers, John and Lidia began to walk down the empty hall way that led to where the ring was being set up for that nights Raw.
Walking down the ramp, their hands quickly detached from each others as they saw Edge, Matt Hardy, Lita, Victoria and Chris Benoit, all having fun by having a girls against guys handicap match. Once Edge saw Lidia, he jumped off from the ring apron and ran up the stage, greeting her with a hug and spun her around. Seeing John after he put Lidia down, Edge bit his bottom lip, an uneasy feeling in his stomach appeared as well.
"Hey Cena."
"Copeland." Silence. Chewing the inside of her cheek, Lidia began to think: 'How could I get myself out of this situation?' She began to walk back up the ramp and sat behind the drum set that was set up on the stage; her band was performing on Raw tonight, their first time on national TV. Butterflies rose to her stomach and goosebumps showed up on her arms; it was going to be the biggest adrenaline rush the band has ever felt.
John began to walk over towards the drum set, hands shoved in his pocket, dog tag reflecting off of his skin.
"What are you doing after Raw tonight?" John asked, standing behind Lidia.
"Heading back to the bus probably, why? Going to try to serenate me like you used to after my shows?" Lidia joked, standing up in front of him.
"Actually, yeah, I was." Putting his hands on her lower back, John pulled her closer to him. Putting her hands on his chest, Lidia stopped him.
"John, don't, please. I don't want this again," she told him as she removed his hands from her back. Looking up at him, she could see the hurt in his clear blue eyes. "Can we talk somewhere else? Like over there?" Lidia pointed over to a bunch of empty seats past the barricade. Agreeing, John walked down the steps that led to the ground, not bothering to help Lidia walk down the stairs like he normally would've.
"Here?" John asked, sitting a few row ups past the barricade. Lidia nodded her head. Sitting in a seat next to John, the two sat in silence for a bit, just watching the match that was in the ring.
Finding the silence uncomfortable, Lidia began to talk. "Look, I know you probably have nothing to do with us, or at least I hope you don't, I got this phone call last night, from a pay phone. Do you know who it was?" John looked at Lidia, eyes wide in shock.
"No dude, I don't. As soon as the pay per view ended and you made fun of me, I went back to the hotel and watched some porn with Jindrak and Hassie, don't tell Jackie though. Honestly, that's what I did. I don't even know your cell phone number," John confessed. "If you want to know the truth...I took Kiebs phone to get your number off of her. She doesn't know I have it, and I thought since you probably wouldn't have given me your number...."
"John, why would you do that?" Lidia asked, cutting John off in mid sentence. "You know that phone is her life!"
"I know, Liddy, I know. But you probably wouldn't have given it to me, right?"
"Yea, you're right," Lidia agreed. Tugging at the hem of her Legend Killer Tour shirt, she sighed. "Are you sure you don't know anything about that call from last night?"
"Definitly. What'd they say?"
"That they knew where I was." Seeing Lidia shiver, John put an arm around her shoulders and brought her closer to him. Unsure of what to do, she leaned into John, putting an arm around his midsection. "Can Madison I stay with you tonight?" Lidia asked out of nowhere.
"Yea," John agreed. "Sure you can. Mark won't mind...But unless you want the couch, you'll have to share a bed with one of us."
"That's OK, I just want to bed held." Nuzzeling closer to John, she took a deep breath of his scent, the scent that she has gone almost a year without smelling; It was a mix of cleaness and Adidas cologne, her favourite.
"I missed having you like this. Now I got to fight for you against Edge," John told her, stroking his fingers through her dreads. Lidia laughed, her hand trickiling up and down John's side. "Seriously, do I have to fight for you now?"
"Nah. He's just a good friend. Honestly, we only held hands last night cause I knew you were watching, and I wanted to make you jelous," she admitted. Still holding each other, they watched as Lita and Victoria hit matching moonsaults onto Matt and Chris. Edge ran into the ring and counted the three count, and raised the girls hands in victory.
"Good luck tonight," John whispered as he clapped for the winners. "Don't forget to breathe." Looking up at John, Lidia pulled at John's collar on his jersery and pulled him closer to her, planting a kiss on his lips. Realizing what was going on, John returned the kiss, pulling Lidia all the way onto his lap, ignoring the whistles and cat calls they were reciving from the ring below.
Pulling away from John, Lidia smiled bashfully before leaning her forehead onto his. "This is me taking you back, just so you know," she told him smiling.
"This is me accepting you taking me back, just so you know," John told her, giving her another kiss.
"Get a room!" Lita and Victoria called from the ring. Giving them the finger, Lidia stood up, grabbing John's hand in hers, and walked down the steps.
"You know, you're mighty lucky that Andre isn't around anymore," Lidia said to John, leaning her head on his arm.
"Andre?"
"Yea, Andre the Giant. Whenever he came over for dinner, he would sit me on his lap, and he would be like, 'Lidia, dear, you be careful about de boys you pick. They break hearts, and I break necks, and I be more den willing to break any necks dat break your heart," Lidia told John, laughing at the memory. Shaking his head, John wrapped an arm around Lidia, bringing her closer to him. Feeling her cell phone vibrate in her back pocket, John got it for Lidia.
"Hello?" he answered.
"You watch what you do with her." Then they hung up. Arching an eyebrow, Lidia took her phone away from John, and say it was another payphone call.
Author Note: There ya go! Hope you liked it. Sorry if it seemed that I rushed Lidia and John getting back together, but I thought that they should be together while Lidia goes through this problem with Brown Eyes. So yea...Read and review and we'll be best friends forever! Oh, and if anyone wants to know who Marina Blue is.....Just read the review she gave me for Disarm!
