The ceremony was beautiful but John couldn't help pay more attention to Ashley instead of the minister. He almost forgot to hand Randy the rings. Randy and Trish wrote their own vows and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. During the reception Amy showed every guest the picture of John and Ashley sleeping and of course people took it the wrong way and kept coming up to both Ashley and John congratulating them for finally getting together. Ashley went over to John.
"Did you tell people we were together?" she asked
"No I was about to find you and ask the same thing" he replied
"Then what the hell is going on ?" she asked
"I don't know but we should find out" he said taking her hand.
"Hey Chris what's up man?" John asked Ashley's father.
"Nothing really I'm happy to hear you two are finally together" he said with a smile.
"Dad we're not together" Ashley said
"Then why does Amy have that picture of you two asleep that she keeps showing everyone?" Chris asked.
"That is why Trish was in the room last night" John said " I could have sworn I saw a flash but I thought it was the lightning"
"Excuse me dad I have to kill my best friends"Ashley said
"Yeah and I'd better go with her just in case she actually does it" John said following Ashley.
"Cena you and I need to talk later" Chris said as John walked away.
"Will do" John called to him.
Ashley found Trish and Amy talking she walked up smiling.
"Trisha, Ames you wouldn't know why people keep coming up to me and John thinking we are together?" Ashley asked
"We have no idea what you are talking about" Trish said really fast.
"Give me the picture" Ashley commanded
"Aw who told you" Trish whined
"Never mind how we found out now people think we are together" Ashley said
"We might as well let them think what they want" John said walking up to them.
"Huh?" Ashley asked
"I mean for tonight why don't we just play along it is better than having to tell everyone we aren't" John said " so what do you say will you be my girlfriend for the night?"
"Yes that would be very nice thank you John" Ashley said
"Hey what the hell I have already been your fiancée" John said
"Yeah I still don't get that you can explain later" Ashley said
"Whatever you want baby"he said pulling her into his arms. "we have to keep up pretenses". Then he kissed her and for that short time the whole world stopped it was just the two of them well at least that is what it felt like to them.
"That was fun we should do it again later" he said
"Maybe if you are a good boy" she replied
"I don't know Ames I think I might have saw some tongue" Trish teased.
"Shut up"Ashley said
Randy and Trish danced their first dance as husband and wife to Inside your Heaven by Carrie Underwood. After that Trish came up with a really good idea if she could say so herself.
"Mr and Mrs Orton would like to invite the WWE's newest couple out onto the dance floor to share this next song with them so Ashley and John get out here" the dj announced
"Oh my god I am going to kill her"Ashley said
Randy looked at Trish and she told him that she would explain later. Ashley looked up at John and he whispered that is would be alright and she took his hand. You and Me by Lifehouse started to play and Ashley smiled because this was always her and John's song. She relaxed and put her head on his chest. The song ended too soon and then Ashley realized everyone was staring at her and John. When she managed to get Trish alone for a minute she let her have it.
"I can't believe you did that, I will kill you later" Ashley said her emotions were a mix of annoyance and humor.
"Oh come on if it were me and Randy you would have done the same thing" Trish said
"Ok maybe I would but now everyone thinks we are a couple and what happens let's say tomorrow when I don't know I go back home to my boyfriend" Ashley said raising her voice just a little.
"Sweetie your boyfriend is out there" Trish replied with a smile
"I really hate you right now" Ashley said crossing her arms.
"Hey what are you two doing?" Randy asked putting his arm around Trish.
"Oh nothing I am just going to kill your wife" Ashley replied
"Since when are you and John together?" he asked
"Oh my god we aren't" Ashley said getting frustrated.
"Trish what did you do?" he asked her
"Honey why do you assume I did something?" she asked looking innocent
"Well Ashley is going to kill you and then there was the whole dance thins so I am deducting that you did something" he answered
"Oh sweetie you know me so well" she said giving him a kiss.
"Please you guys I really don't need to see that" Ashley said
"You were just kissing John like about a half hour ago" Trish pointed out.
"Ash why were you kissing John?" Randy asked
"Oh god Trish explain" Ashley said walking away.
John was talking to some of his friends ya know Eddie Rey and others. Ashley came up to him and wrapped an arm around his waist.
"Whatcha talking about baby?" she asked
"You and how beautiful you look tonight and how I am a lucky man to have you" he replied
"Aw you are too sweet John I'm lucky to have you" she said
"I have to say mamacita it is about time you started dating him we were taking bets" Eddie said
"Who?" she asked shocked.
"Well me and Rey-Rey and your dad and Randy and basically half the Raw and Smackdown roster" Eddie answered.
"Sweetie did you know about this?" she asked
"I might have heard about it somewhere" he replied
"You guys are horrible" she said "and what happened if me and John never got together?"
"Then the money would go to John to get himself a nice paid lady" Eddie said with a laugh.
"Sorry boys but nobody else gets my man except me isn't that right honey?"
'Absolutely" he said smiling at her.
"Excuse me I'm going to talk to my dad" she said leaving.
"You'd better marry her soon man before she realizes what a looser you are Cena" Eddie said
"Hey I can always have your wife" John said
"Hey man don't go there" Eddie said
Rey just shook his head. "You guys always get into the same argument I see my wife over there I'm going to go dance with her" he said walking away.
John and Eddie just laughed.
"Eddie we made him go away again" John said
"Yeah I'm starting to think he doesn't like us anymore" Eddie replied
"Come on who wouldn't like us?" John asked
"I don't know Homes but I think I'm going to go grab me esposa so I don't have to worry about you"
"Yeah well adios to you to" John said
"Wow you know Spanish I'm proud I thought you something" Eddie joked.
John went over to the bar and got another beer and then went to find Ashley. She was dancing with her cousin Jeff. After the dance he went to go talk to Jeff.
"Hardy man it's been a while" John said shaking his hand.
"Yeah too long and why am I the last to know everything how long have you two been dating?" he asked
"About a month right sweetie" Ashley said
"You are better with dates than I am so if my baby says a month then she is probably right" John replied.
"Jeff when am I going to meet your new girlfriend?" Ashley asked
"Soon" he replied "well I'll leave you two alone Ash if I don't see you later don't forget dad's birthday is in 2 weeks and me and Matt are having a barbecue"
"No prob" Ashley said
"So honey a month really have we been going out that long?" John asked
"It seems like we just started going out today doesn't it" Ashley joked
"Yeah but I'm loving every minute of it" he said "So am I giving you a ride to the airport tomorrow?"
"Yeah sure" she replied with a shrug. He gave her a long kiss.
"You taste like beer" she said
"Well don't worry I won't get too drunk" he said
"Well that is good because I will be leaving your ass here if you do" she replied
"Damn you have the keys don't you?" he asked
"Yep you gave them to me because I don't drink remember"
Ashley's favorite song Like I Am by Rascal Flatts started to play so she pulled John onto the dance floor.
"This song always did remind me of you" she said. John listened to the words of the song and was touched.
"You think I'm one of a kind?" he asked
"Of course" replied.
Lying here with you
I watch you while you sleep
The dawn is closing in
With every breath you breathe
I can feel the change
The change you've made in me
But will I ever see
All the things you see in me
When you say that I'm one of a kind
Baby, I don't see it but you believe
That I'm so strong and true, I promise you
I'll try to be that kind of man
Because you love me like I am
When it comes to love
I may not know the rules
But there's one thing I know
My heart belongs to you, just you
When you say that I'm one of a kind
Baby, I don't see it but you believe
That I'm so strong and true, I promise you
I'll try to be that kind of man
Because you love me like I am
You show me you love me
With a fire that burns deep inside
When you say that I'm one of a kind
Baby, I don't see it but you believe
That I'm so strong and true, I promise you
I'll try to be that kind of man
Because you love me like I am
When you say that I'm one of a kind
Baby, I don't see it but you believe
That I'm so strong and true, I promise you
I'll try to be that kind of man
Because you love me like I am
- I am
I'll never understand
I don't think I'll ever understand
Why you love me
Why you love me just like I am
