All Bets Are Off – Chapter 3
LATER…
"I don't get it" said Randy
"What's there to get?" asked Cena with a smile on his face
"She turned me down but she's with you? It doesn't make any sense"
"Maybe she just wants a real man"
Randy stopped dead in the street and shook his head.
"The girls obviously out of her mind" he stated as he continued to walk.
Cena smiled at Jericho and the two laughed as an obviously annoyed Randy walked away from them.
A While Later…
"I'm sorry ok? I just don't want you getting hurt again"
"I'm not guna Gem the only one whose guna get hurt in this is John"
"Ok but if it goes too far just promise me you'll pull the plug on this revenge thing?"
"I promise"
The friends hugged over the table as they sat down ready to order their lunch. Moments later the waiter approached the table
"What can I get everyone?"
"I'll have…" Cj started looking at her menu
"A plate of heartbreak and side order of cold shoulder?"
Cj looked up and saw that it was John not the waiter standing at her table. She smiled up at him and put down her menu. Cena crouched down at the table.
"Are you stalking me?" asked Cj
"No I'm here with my boys having lunch" he said as Cj looked over her shoulder to see Randy and Jericho watching on.
"It's just a coincidence that you're in the same restaurant as I am?"
"I got here first so if anything you're stalking me"
"You should be so lucky"
"Anyway I don't know if my cells broken but I haven't gotten a call from you about tonight and I checked at reception and there were no messages from you. Now I'm not rushing you you've got a good five hours to let me know and we wouldn't want you committing to anything because you might get a better offer. I only came over here to buy you ladies lunch so feel free to order what you want it's on me. Now I'm going back to my table to push my food around the plate and wait pathetically by the phone but there's no rush don't feel pressured into it…" Cj smiled as Cena walked away.
"You see what I mean? He's playing a completely different hand of cards to any other guy"
"He's crying into his napkin" said Zak pointing to him Cj turned and laughed at Cena's comical attempt to get her to call him.
"Shall we order?" said Cj changing the subject
The real waiter approached the table and the girls all began to order as they were doing so Cj put the menu down and picked up her bag and took out her cell phone and Cena's card.
"What are you doing?" asked Gem knowing exactly what Cj was doing. "Can you give us a minute please? Gem asked the waiter.
Cj put the cell to her ear and turned to face Cena's table. Cena looked at his ringing phone and shouted across the room.
"Hey look my phone does work" Cena then answered his phone "Hello"
"You lucked out I haven't had a better offer so it looks like I can go out with you tonight"
"What took you so long to call?"
"The fashion psychologist business is very demanding"
"I bet" he said with a smile
"So where are you taking me?"
"You'll have to wait and see but I'll pick you up at eight"
"Does that mean you don't know where you're taking me?"
"Oh I know where I'm taking you don't you worry about that you just worry about being in fashion. Nice outfit by the way"
"Stating the obvious but thank you" Cj smiled over at him and hung up
"Unbelievable" said Randy in disbelief
LATER IN CJS APARTMENT
Cj was in her bedroom getting ready while Gem and Zak sat on her bed watching her run around in a rush.
"Cj come on he'll be here soon" said Gem
Cj appeared from around the corner and revealed her outfit; a dress on top of a pair of jeans.
"You look great aren't you going somewhere special?"
"I don't know he wouldn't tell me so I'm covering all my bases. If I go somewhere fancy I'll take the jeans off and just wear the dress if I end up at a Pizzeria the pants stay on"
"Keep your pants on no matter what okay?" ordered Gem
"Yes Mom!" Cj joked as the door buzzer went "Ok here I go. Remember to lock up when you leave, bye!" said Cj with a smile as she left her apartment to meet Cena downstairs.
She opened the door and stepped out onto the stoop to see a casually dressed Cena smiling up at her. Cena pointed at himself seeking Cj's approval.
"You look good, very comfortable"
"You look pretty good too"
"Why thank you I'm prepared for where ever you're taking me. If we go somewhere like we did last night the jeans come off"
"Somewhere cheap the jeans stay on? Well I was going to buy you some falafel but I don't see a cart"
"He leaves at six"
"Oh well we'll have to make our next date earlier"
"Next date? Let's get through this one first puppy"
"Ok well come on then kid"
Cj walked down the stoop and linked arms with Cena
"So where are you taking me?" she asked
"You'll see"
"Well do I need to take my pants off?"
"It's a little presumptuous of you but sure" Cj playfully slapped Cena for his sarcastic remark "Hey but it's your choice see what you think when we get there"
"Ok"
A Little While Later…
Cena and Cj were walking down the street when Cena suddenly stopped and pointed Cj turned her head and smiled as Cena got the door for her.
"Burger King you do listen!"
Cj walked inside followed by Cena and they walked over to the counter and ordered.
"Go sit down and I'll bring them over"
Cj walked away and sat down in a booth and waited for Cena. He finally walked over and placed the food down on the table and slid in next to Cj he then looked under the table.
"What are you doing?" asked Cj looking at the back of Cena's neck as he looked under the table. Cena sat up and smiled at Cj.
"You have your shoes on"
Cj smiled "My feet don't hurt"
"Ahh"
Cj and Cena began to eat their meals as they did they got deep into conversation with each other.
"I didn't like his arrogance" said Cj talking about Randy
"Well he's baffled by you agreeing to a date with me"
"So am I" she smiled "You're full of yourself but you're not arrogant. You're aware of who you are and what you look like and the sex appeal that you have but you don't force it down people's throats…"
"Randy does?"
"Let me guess he's vain to the point where he kisses his own reflection" Cena laughed "He expects everyone to know him and adore him and if they don't he can be very callous towards them"
"Wow!" said Cena shocked at how accurate Cj was
"And he treats women like second class citizens and so lives by the cliché that all women should be in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant"
"Have you dated him before?" Cena sarcastically asked
"I've met too many guys like him but why are we talking about him on our date?" she asked with a smile
The night progressed and Cj and Cena sat inside Burger King until they were thrown out. As the night grew into morning Cena and Cj walked hand in hand back to Cj's apartment as they approached the stoop Cj let go of Cena's hand and kissed him on the cheek.
"I had a great night" she said
"Me too so…" said Cena smiling at Cj. Cj knowing all too well what Cena was hoping for.
"So goodnight" she said walking away and up the stoop to the front door where she got out her keys to unlock the door.
"Goodnight? That's it? I go to all that trouble the reservations at the expensive restaurant the witty banter all night and all I get is…goodnight?"
Cj silently laughed into the door and turned around to see Cena stood waiting for her reply.
"And what did ya want?" she asked already knowing the answer
"Good morning" he said with a sly smile
Cj smiled and pushed open the door to her building and walked inside not replying to Cena but not closing the door behind her. Moments passed and Cena then made his way up the stoop and up to Cj's apartment where the door was also open for him. He walked inside and closed the door behind him and smiled as he waited for Cj who shortly after walked out and stood and stared at Cena.
"Just guna stand there?" she said walking away
Cena followed her and walked into her seating area where she had sat down in her big leather club chair. Cena sat down on the two-seater and patted for Cj to join him. Cj didn't move so Cena patted again this time Cj made her way over to the two-seater and sat next to Cena with her hand wrapped around his neck tickling at the back of his ear with her legs draped over his. Cena moved his hands up her thighs and around her buttocks which he caressed softly before moving in and kissing her sweetly on the lips. Suddenly Cena pushed her down and climbed on top of her and kissed her ravenously while pulling off his shirt only breaking the kiss for mere seconds before placing his lips back onto Cj's. As they're lips became tangled in passion and Cena's hands explored Cj's curves in lust Cj pressed her hands on Cena's masculine chest and pushed him away breaking their embrace. Cena immediately sat up and looked down at Cj worried he'd done something wrong. Cj sat up and got on her knees and stroked Cena's face reassuring him he'd done nothing wrong.
"It's too fast" she said to him his worried expression turning to a saddened one.
"Ok" he said
Just then Cj mounted him and kissed him passionately as the kiss lingered Cena found himself examining Cj's curves once more and pulling off her dress and throwing it uncaringly to the floor. Cj's body pressed against Cena's as their embrace reached explosive heights. Cj could feel Cena's excitement beneath her as he began to tent out with that Cj pulled herself away and walked over to the window and looked down at the people in the street.
"What's wrong now?"
"It's too…"
"Fast?" he asked with frustration
Cj turned around and smiled "Sorry"
"Don't worry about it" he said covering himself with a cushion
"You don't have to leave though"
"Oh no?" he said with a little hope in his eyes
"No you can crash on the couch if you want"
"Thanks" he said a little disappointed at Cj's suggestion
Cj smiled knowing she was finally bugging him.
"I'm guna go to bed now. Sleep tight"
"Uh huh" he said as Cj walked into her room closing the door behind her. She leant against her bedroom door and smiled with satisfaction as Cena sat on the other side of the door completely frustrated by Cj.
Later…
Cena unable to make himself comfortable on the couch turned once more in his attempt he laid for mere moments before he sat up and rubbed over his head and neck in frustration. Cena then picked up his shirt and slipped on his shoes and walked towards the door ready to leave and return to his hotel room for a blissful nights sleep. As he reached for the handle he stopped himself and looked over his shoulder and at the closed door that was separating him from Cj. He walked back and carefully opened the door and saw her sleeping contently in her bed. He walked inside and quietly closed the door behind him and continued to watch as Cj slept calmly and motionlessly. He then put his shirt on the dresser chair and proceeded to get undressed, kicking off his shows and taking off his pants throwing them on the back of the chair also. In just his boxers he climbed in bed next to Cj and got as close as he could without waking her. He smiled as he watched her sleep and found himself no longer tired but wide awake staring at the beautiful girl next to him he laid unperturbed as he watched her simply breathe in and out.
Later…
Cj gently came out of her slumber and laid until she gathered herself as she did and things became more apparent she realised that she wasn't alone in bed and looked down to see an arm wrapped around her waste she followed the length of the arm up to see Cena laid beside her she smiled as she noticed how cute he looked. Cj rolled over to face Cena and found herself with a sudden urge to kiss his luring lips. She leaned in and softly kissed him Cena jolted out of his slumber but to a welcomed surprise he continued the kiss and rolled Cj over onto her back as he laid on top of her.
"Good morning" he said with a gracious smile
"Hi"
"You're not guna flake on me again are you?" Cj shook her head "You positive because I don't think I can handle rejection again"
"I promise"
With that Cena lifted Cj's oversized jersey and threw it to the floor to reveal her beautiful physique only masqueraded by her sexy red lingerie. Cena nestled himself between Cj's voluptuous breasts which he kissed mischievously sending arousing sensations through Cj's body. He found his way back to Cj's lips and as he fought with himself to free his excitement from its cotton confinement. In his succession Cj smiled and rolled him over pinning him to the bed and kissing his collarbone and down across his defined masculine chest. Cena found himself in unbearable suspense and rolled Cj over but finding himself and Cj falling off the bed and landing on the floor knocking the nightstand as they fell causing the clock to fall off almost colliding with Cj's head.
"You ok?" asked Cena checking on Cj who nodded her head furiously waiting in anticipation of Cena's next move. Cena then looked over at the clock and his jaw dropped he picked up the clock and showed Cj.
"Is this right?"
"Yeah why?"
"Shit!" he said putting the clock back on the nightstand and getting up collecting his clothes as Cj sat up.
"What are you doing?" asked a dismayed Cj
"I'm late for my plane" he said getting dressed.
"Plane? You're leaving?" she asked
He fastened his pants and slipped on his shoes and walked over to Cj crouching down in front of her. "I'm so sorry; you have no idea how sorry"
"Are you coming back?"
"Definitely! Once you've cooled down and forgotten about this sudden departure right in the middle of…that. What are my chances?"
"I'll have to think about that I'm a traditional kind of girl"
"Traditional? What does that mean?"
"The guy doesn't usually get lucky until at least the third date"
"I was feeling pretty lucky a minute ago"
"I just wanted to give you a taste of what you could have if you play your cards right" said Cj finishing her sentence as Cena nodded his head sarcastically making his way over to her. Cena smiled and Cj smiled back as Cena kissed her once more before leaving.
"I could have had you" he said breaking the kiss
"Not till the third date"
"In that case I will definitely be back because if that was a taster I can't wait for the whole thing"
Cj smiled at Cena's sweet arrogance he knew he could have her yet he didn't push and sweetly kissed Cj goodbye.
"Bye" he said smiling once more before leaving the apartment
Cj got up and walked over to the window and watched Cena run down the street. As she did she picked up the phone and dialled.
"Hello"
"Meet me for lunch?" asked Cj
"Sure"
"Usual place in an hour?"
"See you then"
Cj hung up and gently touched her lips with her finger still able to feel the tingling sensation left by John she smiled as she walked away to get ready.
Later…
Cj walked into the restaurant and sat down in front of her friends.
"Well?" asked Gem waiting to find out what had happened on Cjs date with John
"Man I'm in trouble"
"Why?" asked a concerned Zak
"He is so adorable that I keep getting these urges to jump on him and have wild crazy sex with him"
"This is your master plan?" asks a sceptical Gem
"There in lies the problem. I've been here before I was here with Danny this raw physical attraction which leads to mind blowing sex for a few weeks but which ultimately ends up in heartbreak and despair…for me…not him the guy walks away thinking 'Yep screwed her good' and that's why I need to do this. I need to treat him like Danny treated me to stop him from treating another girl like that"
"So you're going to date and manipulate every man on the planet?"
"No!"
"Then why are you doing this?"
"Maybe me treating John like crap won't change all the men in the world but it might just change him and lead to some lucky girl finding a decent guy among a mass of pigs"
"So one small step for Cj; one giant leap for womankind?" Gem sarcastically asked
"Maybe yeah but I'll never know until I try will I?"
"Guess not but how on earth are you going to stop yourself from jumping into bed with him?"
"May God give me strength" said Cj with her hands in the praying position
"You could start by not inviting him back to your apartment"
"I only did that to torture him. I thought take him upstairs give him a lil then show him the door and let him leave wanting more. Who knew he'd end up torturing me?"
"Wait what did he do?" asked Gem
"I woke up this morning and he was there next to me and he looked so beautiful I couldn't resist and we were getting into it I mean seconds away and he just stopped himself got dressed and said he was late and had to go and now he's gone"
"Gone where?"
"I duno it's apart of the me not getting close to him idea. He was late for his plane though so obviously he's not in New York anymore"
"Is he coming back?"
"So he says"
"Then we have from now until then to teach you self restraint"
Cj laughed at her friends and picked up the menu Gem pulled down her menu and with a very serious face looked at her friend.
"I'm serious. You need to control yourself I know you Cj you sleep with him and that's it your emotions come into play and I can't see you go through another break up. This is a scheme for you to get a little revenge on Danny and all the male population so you have to learn to control yourself so that this doesn't turn into a repeat of Danny"
"I can control myself I did last night"
"But you didn't this morning"
"We didn't do anything"
"Because he pulled away if he hadn't noticed he was late would you have stopped it?"
"Yes of course I would"
"Cj!"
"Ok so maybe I wouldn't have but sleeping with him wouldn't have been a bad thing"
"It isn't a good thing"
"How do you know you weren't there? All I'm saying is if we slept together it wouldn't be the end of the world and it wouldn't change a thing. In fact it would be icing on the cake I get a little something while I'm getting revenge carefree emotionless sex. What's bad about that?"
"You can't do carefree emotionless sex in fact you do the complete opposite. You sleep with a guy and you build a relationship in your head then when it doesn't pan out the way you imagined you cut out love altogether and become a pessimist and we have to deal with you until you decide you love the possibility of love again"
"I'm not like that"
"Oh no what were you like before you met Danny?"
"I was single not pessimistic"
"You dated that guy…what was his name? Wes?" Cj rolled her eyes "And after he cheated on you with that other girl you swore off men for a good three months and when anyone came to talk to you in a bar you'd interrogate them. What's your name? Occupation? Intentions? Are you just looking for sex or a commitment? You were a psychopath dater"
"If you think about it I was actually playing it safe and being very smart"
"Cj! Just don't sleep with this guy because when you go through all the hell we go through it too"
Cj reluctantly agreed "Fine I won't sleep with him"
"Good girl. Now lets order"
