To Demon Spawn, after the next chapter, I will get to the real action.
Chapter 13 The Anniversary
Monica was extremely happy today, happy then she thought she'd ever be, why, because Enrique was gone, gone back to Europe. Best part was, John was planning a surprise for her that night so she couldn't wait, she spent all day with her friend Melanie, preparing for the big night, at least that's what John said it was, she had no clue he was actually planning their anniversary, and something else.
"So what exactly are we looking for?". Mel asked. They were inside one of the many malls in Wichita Falls.
"Well John is making a big deal outta this, so I guess something special". Monica responded as she went through a rack of clothes.
"Do you want it to be revealing?".
"Of course". Monica said. "I just wish I knew why he was doing this so I could pick out the right outfit".
"I'm sure whatever you wear will be fine". Mel reassured. Then out of the corner of her eye she spotted a drop dead gorgeous dress hanging on one of the other racks. "Ooooh Mooonicaaaa".
It was finally nighttime. Monica was nervously pacing back and forth trying to think of what he had planned, she had tried asking him, but as usual he wanted it to be a surprise. After waiting for what seemed like hours she heard a knock on the door, even though in heels she raced to the door and opened it seeing john in a dashing black suit.
"Ready?". He asked, she nodded hooking her arm around his as they left.
Walking out of the hotel Monica was shocked to see a white hummer limo parked out in front. She covered her mouth to keep from screaming at the sight.
"I knew you'd like it". He said as he walked over and opened the door for her, she got in as well as he and the driver drove off.
"What is all this for?". She asked again.
"I can't tell you it's a surprise". He said with a devilish smile.
"Please". She begged.
"It's not my fault you couldn't remember what tonight is". He said. She pouted her lips in defeat as she slapped the side of his arm, slumping over in her seat. "Come sit on my lap". She followed orders as she slid on top of him, he wrapped his arms around her waist as she rested her head on his chest. "You look really pretty tonight Monica".
She looked down at her outfit. She was wearing a tan evening dress, a halter draped neck, high side slit and closure to keep everything together. Her hair was straightened with curls at the end.
"Thank you". She answered. "You look nice as well". A half an hour later the limo pulled up to an empty restaurant. As john let her out she stared at the building awkwardly before john guided her inside.
"Where is everyone?".
"I rented out the whole restaurant for us". He said as they walked.
"This must be a very important occasion for you to go through all this trouble". She said. John led her down a dark hallway stopping in front of a lonely door.
"Are you ready?". He asked, she nodded excitedly. He slowly opened the door, there was a huge circular table with a long couch surrounding it, on top of the table were different kinds of fancy foods along with dessert and crystal (A/N: The wine). There were candles lit everywhere and a red light made the room visible, but what instantly caught Monica's eye was the banner above everything, it read: Happy Anniversary.
With a smile on her face she giggled happily at the sight, then she turned to john who seemed like he was waiting to see her reaction. "Come here you". She said pulling him into a hug, he embraced it burying his head into her hair, she did the same burying her head into his chest. "I can't believe you remembered".
"How could I forget this day, it's so important to me". He said pulling away from her. He took her over to the couch and they made their selves comfortable before they began to eat.
"Remember how we first got together?". He asked making Monica laugh at the memory.
"Valentine's Day...5th grade". She said, the two thought back to that day.
Flashback
It was Valentine's Day at Mira Vista Elementary school. Mrs. Santi's class were having a special Valentine's Day party.
"Ok class, it's time to hand out our Valentine's Day cards". Mrs. Santi said happily clapping her hands together signaling for it to commence.
"Valentine's Day is so boring". Marc Predka who his friends called Trademarc said annoyingly looking at the people exchanging cards.
"I know, who wants to hear about love and mushy stuff, I can't wait till tomorrow when everything's over, the only good thing about this holiday is the candy". Matt (one of John Cena's brothers) said stuffing a few chocolate kisses into his mouth. "Right John".But he wasn't listening, he was to busy staring at what he thought was the prettiest girl in the room Monica Richards. She was talking to her friend Jamie while exchanging cards to each other, Monica was wearing a red satin knee-length dress with black heels, her hair was back in a tight high ponytail with curls at the end. He thought she looked beautiful, then again he always did, he'd been having a crush on her for about 7 months.
"Hey john". Matt said louder startling the dazed young boy.
"Huh..yeah". John answered.
"What are you staring at?". His brother asked.
"I'll telling you what he's staring at...Monica". John's cousin trademarc said with a grin.
"Dang john, you've had a crush on her for what like 5 moths".
"7". John corrected his older brother.
"Why don't you go over and talk to her?".
"I don't know what I'll say". He said.
"Just go over, you'll know". Trademarc said pushing him forward and slowly john made his trip to her, he was just a feet or two away from her until the class bully Ronny got in his way.
"Move out of my way Ronny". John said bravely, even though everybody knew he was scared of the fat giant.
"Make me". He said walking up to him. Then before he knew what hit him, Ronny had threw the drink he had been holding at john, splattering it all over his new white collard shirt.
Everybody turned to the two and immediately started laughing, Monica's friend was laughing to, but not her. John ran out of the room and down the hall, he slumped down to the ground, his back against the wall. He slipped off his shirt showing off his white tank top. As he tried to squeeze the red soda out of his shirt he saw a pair of black heels standing beside him, he looked up to be looking into the dark brown eyes of Monica.
"Hi John". She said in a soft voice.
"Hi Monica". He said a little embarrassed. She squatted down and sat next to him putting her knees to her chest wrapping her arms around him.
"You look nice today". She complimented. John looked down at his clothes, white sneakers, shorts and what was his white shirt, his hair was somewhat spiked up.
"Thanks, you too". He complimented back.
"Sorry about what happened, if it makes you feel any better your cousin and your brother are beating up Ronny right now".
"Good".
"I don't like ronny either, he's bullied me sometimes too, he like calls me names and pushes me".
"He does".
"Yeah, but after I told, he left me alone, maybe you should do that".
"No, I can handle him by myself, I'm not gonna tell and look like a punk, one day he's gonna get it".
"I see your mad right now so I'll leave you alone". She said. He kept quiet. "Well, happy Valentine's Day John Cena". She turned his head to face her surprising him with a kiss and it wasn't a peck, she had kissed him like they do in those movies, sucking on his top lip. "Bye". She rose to her feet and walked away.
"Bye". John managed to say still shocked at what happened.
End Flashback
After they finished their food, wine and dessert John turned to Monica.
"Um,Monica, you know how much I love you right?". He asked.
"Yes".
"And you sure that you don't love enrique anymore?".
"Positive". She said. "I love you".
"Well, I was gonna do this before you left for Europe". He said reaching into his pocket, his hand came back out holding a pink velvet little box, he opened it showing a mind blowing blue diamond ring. 'Will you marry me?". monica couldn't even speak, she was hoping this day would come, she was blown away this was officially the best anniversary ever.
"I-I". She struggled to try and find an answer.
"Monica I know your married, but Enrique could never be me, I don't wanna lose you anymore, please".
"Yes!...yes of course I will". She said happily, he smiled as he sild the ring on her finger. She pulled him in for a very passionate kiss.
"So what do you have for me?". John asked, an evil grin appearing.
"Well let's go back to the hotel and I'll show you". Monica answered. And with that they left the lonely restaurant for a night of bliss.
