Morning came too fast before they knew it they heard a knocking on the window both woke up to find Randy.
"Hey man" John said emerging from the car. He stretched a little and then helped Ashley out.
"Randy it's been so long about a week right" Ashley said sarcastically
"Bout that" Randy said "what happened Trish was in a panic she was going on and on about bad omens, I swear she was about 2 seconds away from calling the wedding off"
"Man relax we ran out of gas and it was late so we slept in the car you look all panicked it's all gravy man"
"What does that mean?" Randy asked looking at Ashley.
"Why are you looking at me like I know?" Ashley asked
"You speak his language" Randy said
"Yeah so I'm supposed to know everything he says" Ashley replied
"Hello still standing right here" John remarked.
"So where is Bam?" Randy asked
"He couldn't make it" Ashley answered
"Oh Trish is going to be so sad when she hears that" Randy remarked
"I seriously think that he is afraid to meet my dad" Ashley said
"What Chris he wouldn't hurt anyone" randy said
"Yeah we know that" Ashley replied
"Well anyways we should go we'll call a tow truck on the way" Randy said
"Yeah he's right" John remarked.
About an hour later they were at Trish's house. Ashley was so relieved when she could take a shower and change her clothes. She was now wearing a pair of low cut blue jeans a red top and flip flops. For once she left her hair down and let it dry naturally.
"So Ash tell us what happened between you and John" Trish said as she Ashley and Amy were sitting in her bedroom catching up.
"Nothing we just talked" Ashley replied
"Randy said you and John were looking pretty cozy in the back seat" Trish said in a sweet tone.
"It was cold out we were close together to stay warm" Ashley replied
"Yeah sure" Amy remarked "girl we all know you want him so just go and get him already"
"Yeah and what about my boyfriend" Ashley said
"What he doesn't know won't hurt him" Trish said
"I am not cheating on Bam with John that ain't my style" Ashley replied
"So you telling John you loved him last night what was that supposed to mean?" Trish asked
"How do you know about that?" Ashley asked
"John told Randy who told me" Trish answered.
"I cannot believe him that was personal between me and him and here he goes telling everyone!" Ashley exclaimed.
"We all knew it would happen eventually" Amy said
"So how's you music been?" Trish asked
"I haven't been able to come up with anything in a while not that I have really had time" Ashley replied
"You should become a diva law school is to serious for you" Trish said
"Sorry girls I'll leave the fighting to you" Ashley said "something about running around half naked doing nothing more than stupid pillow fights it isn't me"
"Yeah I hear ya we should talk to Vince about that see if we can get that to change" Trish said
"It's not like the good old days when women wrestled men in hardcore matches" Ashley said
"When did that happen?" Amy asked
"When there was a hardcore title" Ashley replied
"Being the hardcore champion was fun till you had to defend it" Trish said
"I remember when I was about 10 my step cousin John let the WWE have a hardcore match in his dry cleaners it was Crash Holly against the Mean Street Posse" Ashley said
"Oh my god I remember them weren't they Shane McMahon's friends from Greenwich?" Amy asked
"Yeah" Ashley replied "things were so much better before Vince got that stupid lawsuit I swear the only reason the World Wildlife Fund sued Vince was because they had no money now don't get me wrong I love animals but I loved the Federation more"
"I'm going to have to agree" Trish said
"Oh please tell me you saw that episode of Raw where Chavo Guerrero was talking to Vince McMahon about real estate and Vince goes I've been a billionaire so long I don't remember anything about real estate" Ashley said " I was like no you aren't man you used to be one of the top ten richest men in America and now you ain't so just stop talking now"
"Of course this was the television she was talking to" Amy remarked. " and wasn't that episode of Raw like a year ago.
"Yes and well yeah do you really think I would insult Vince to his face he still has enough money to have me killed and to get away with it" Ashley said
" She's right" Trish agreed "but wait I have an idea why don't you have Steph put you on the writing staff I mean you can't screw it up any worse than it already is"
"Thank you Trish you sure know how to make people feel better" Ashley said.
"That was not what I mean" Trish said
"Well anyways we should probably get ready for the rehearsal dinner" Ashley said
"Yeah she is right" Amy said grabbing her crutches.
"Ames how did you hurt your leg?" Ashley asked
"Adam and I went snowboarding" Amy replied.
"Ouch" both Ashley and Trish said at the same time.
Ashley changed into a red strapless dress that went up to about her mid thigh and John couldn't help but stare at her. They went through the wedding rehearsal with no problems then dinner again no problems and then it was time for Randy and Trish to say goodbye. 20 minutes of kissing and I love yous they were back a Trish's house. It hard started storming out and there was really bad thunder and lightning outside. John knocked on the guest room door. He heard a reply so he entered.
"I know you are afraid of thunder so I decided to come check on you" he said
"It's pretty close" she said
"Do you want me to stay with you?" he asked
"If you want to but it doesn't matter to me" she said.
He nodded and got into bed with her.
"I talked to Bam today he was really sorry that he flaked out on me I'm thinking about ending things with him" she told John
"I'm not saying that you should do it but I'll be here if you need me" John said
"Can you believe that Randy and Trish are getting married?" she asked
"Yeah I can they are really in love" John said "it was almost you"
"No me and Randy were always just friends" Ashley said
"By the way you looked so hott and in dress tonight" he said "I was having a hard time concentrating"
Ashley whacked John softly on the chest as if to say get you mind out of the gutter but then again she knew John too well his mind was always there.
"Thanks" she said
"You know Ashley I think we have both grown up since we first met" John said
"No you are still a five year old trapped in a 29 year old's body" she replied
"Ha ha" he commented
"Oh come on Johnny I was just joking" she said
"You know only you and my mother can call me Johnny" he said
"Yeah I remember you telling me what once" she replied
"Just like nobody else can call you Shelly because you will always be my Shelly" he said
"That was sweet where did you learn to be so sweet?" she asked
"From Moulin Rouge" he replied with a slight smirk.
"No way I tried to get you to watch that movie so many times!" she exclaimed "how did you end up seeing it"
"Trish made me watch it with her after you left" he said
"See my home girl keeps it real" she said imitating him.
"Leave the gangsta talk to me ok" he said
"Damn I need sleep so shut up" she said
"So then stop talking to me" he retorted.
"We have had this fight before haven't we?" she asked
"Yes and if I remember I know how to end it" he said
"Yeah well that won't be happening because I am going to sleep now so goodnight" she said turning away from him. He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. He knew she always felt safe in his arms but sometimes wondered if she felt the same way about Bam. He shook his head and fell asleep also.
There was a big bang of thunder which woke both Trish and Amy up. Both knowing Ashley was afraid of thunder the decided to check on her. They opened they door to find both John and Ashley asleep.
"Aw Trish do you have a camera?" Amy asked
"Yeah I'll be right back" Trish said walking away to get the camera.
Carefully Trish crept into the room she didn't want to wake either person up she took a couple of pictures. After the flash went off the last time John woke up.
"Trish what are you doing?" he asked
"Just making sure she was ok but looks like you are taking care of it so just go back to sleep" she told him.
"Whatever" he said closing his eyes again.
Trish got out of the room and went into her own where Amy was waiting to see the pictures.
"I love digital cameras" Trish said as she showed Amy the pictures.
"Trish I'm getting an idea" Amy said
"What is going on in that sneaky brain of yours?" Trish asked
"Well it is obvious that neither one of them wants to make the first move so let's give them a little push in the right direction" Amy said
"Meaning?" Trish asked
"Meaning we need to get them drunk" Amy said
"No that wouldn't work Ashley doesn't drink" Trish said
"There has to be some way to get them to admit that they want to be with one another" Amy said
"What if we make Bam think that Ash is cheating on him so then he breaks up with her and then she gets with John" Trish said
"No because then Ashley would be heartbroken" Amy pointed out
"That is why John is there to make her feel better duh" Trish said
"It's not going to work" Amy said "but we have to show these pictures to everyone"
"Of course because I don't know one person that doesn't want Ashley and John together well except for maybe Bam but he is the only one" Trish said.
"Maybe Chris can talk some sense into her" Amy suggested
"It's worth a shot" Trish agreed "but getting them drunk would be a lot more fun"
"Yeah but we would have to get them drunk and married because remember Ashley is waiting for marriage" Amy said
"Damn it" Trish swore.
"If they weren't so stubborn and Kasey hadn't gotten in the way then they would be together by now" Amy said
"I hate that Kasey chick who does she think she is ruining a relationship that I worked so hard to try to get for them"
"Listen Ashley is my 'little sister' she does things in her own time" Amy said
"Well I'm getting impatient" Trish said
"T you are getting married tomorrow one thing at a time" Amy said
"Yeah I guess you are right" Trish agreed.
"Well I'm going to bed see you in the morning" Amy said.
As she walked back to her room she kept thinking about a way to get Ashley and John together.
"This isn't going to be easy" she said to herself.
