All Bets Are Off – Chapter 5
NEXT DAY
Cena was walking over to the reception desk at his hotel talking on his cell phone.
"Yeah and can you deliver it to the address I gave you about seven o'clock. Thanks man" he said before hanging up and smiling at the receptionist.
BACK IN NEW YORK
Cj laid on her bed with the phone in her hand mid-conversation with Zak and Gem.
"So the bear arrived yesterday?" asked Gem
"Yep"
"And you didn't tell me because…?"
"You were a little uptight" Cj said bluntly
"I'm just being protective"
"Yeah I know you are sweetie"
"So what wonderful gift did he send you today?" asked Zak
"He didn't"
"Nothing?" asked a puzzled Gem
"Nope"
"Why did he stop?" asked Zak
"Probably found himself another woman who will sleep with him" stated Gem
"Gem!" Zak said harshly
"Nah she's probably right a guy like him isn't guna stay single for long and he wasn't getting anything from me"
"He wouldn't have made the effort with the roses and the bear if he had no intentions of seeing you again it would be a waste" said a hopeful Zak
"If he comes back he comes back and if he doesn't so what?" said Gem subtly hinting to her friend she'd be better off without him
"There's still time for a third gift to arrive though its only seven" Cj smiled at Zak's sweet nature always hoping for the best and never giving up on the happily ever after…
Just then Cj's doorbell rang she got out of bed and walked towards her door with the phone still in hand.
"I'm not going to hold my breath ladies now I'm guna have to go someone's at my door"
"It might be him" said Zak quickly
"And it might not be" Gem quickly refuted
"Goodnight ladies" said Cj hanging up on her friends
She approached the door a little confused as she wasn't expecting visitors. She opened the door to a small Chinese guy holding a takeaway bag.
"I didn't order any food" Cj said to the Chinese guy who obviously didn't speak English as he pushed the bag at her. "This isn't mine" as Cj refused the takeaway the little guy placed the bag on the floor in front of her and left. Cj gave him a weird look as he walked away. She picked the bag up shaking her head and walked into the apartment looking into the bag making her way into the kitchen. She placed the bag down on the counter and looked at it wondering who's in the building it could be. She turned the bag around to look at the order slip on the side of the bag and smiled as she read it.
Does this count as a third date?
"No way!" she said in disbelief that John had sent the meal
Just then a phone began to ring and Cj looked around the room for her cell phone finding it in her bedroom but it wasn't ringing. The ringing continued and Cj could have sworn it was in her apartment she followed the sound of the ringing back to the kitchen and back to the Chinese she shook her head as if her ears were deceiving her and double checked she was hearing it right. She started to unpack the Chinese and the ringing got louder she eventually pulled out a carton that began vibrating in her hand she smiled as she opened it to find a cell phone inside she answered the phone.
"Hello"
"Walk over to your window" said a sexy familiar voice
Cj obeyed the instructions and walked over to the window and looked down to see John stood at the bottom of her stoop with his cell phone to his ear smiling up at Cj she smiled back down at him.
"I have a call button you know"
"It's not as romantic" The duo stood staring at each other for a short time. "You guna buzz me in or what?"
Cj hung up on John and walked over to the door and buzzed him in and opened the door to her apartment and waited for him. She smiled as she heard him make his way up the steps and he smiled at her as he made his way to her door.
"You're nuts you know that?"
"No I'm just hungry we guna eat this Chinese?" he said walking passed Cj and making his way into the kitchen.
Cj followed him and watched him open the cartons of food. Cena looked up for a second and smiled at Cj.
"Nice flowers by the way"
"Thanks" said Cj looking at the beautiful arrangement
"From anyone special?" he asked seeking a compliment
"Nah just from some guy who can't take no for answer" she sarcastically replied walking over to him
"I hate guys like that" he replied with a smile kissing Cj once on the lips "Plates?"
"The cupboard right behind you" she pointed and John retrieved the plates
A Little While Later…
Cj and John were sat eating their greasy Chinese and with a mouthful of food John spoke.
"So where's the bear?"
"It's sat in there on the sofa"
"Is that guy as needy and pathetic as the one who sent you the flowers?"
Cj smiled at him and shook her head "No he's just sweet"
"He sounds nice"
"He is"
"You sound smitten"
"No…just intrigued"
LATER…
Cj and John had finished their Chinese and John sent Cj to watch TV while he cleaned up. Cj insisted on helping but John finally pushed her out of the kitchen so Cj resided to the living room and waited patiently for John. In the kitchen John dried the last plate and placed it in the cupboard he dried his hands and smiled as he put down the towel and made his way into the living room to join Cj.
He walked around the corner to see the bad TV programme on the screen and to see Cj laid on the sofa fast asleep. He leant against the doorframe and smiled at her as she laid peacefully with the TV remote laid on her stomach. John moved slowly and quietly over to her and gently moved the remote from her stomach he turned off the TV and placed the remote down.
John turned around and scooped Cj into his arms, she stirred momentarily but soon nestled herself against John wrapping her arms around his neck. He carried her into the bedroom and gently placed her down on the bed. He tried to pull the bed sheets back to cover Cj but failed as Cj made herself comfortable on top of the bed. John walked out the bedroom and returned moments later with a blanket which he placed over her. He watched Cj sleeping for a minute and then kicked off his shoes and climbed on the bed with her curling up as close to her as he could and the duo fell to sleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
Cj laid sound asleep as John stirred and came calmly out of his slumber he looked in the direction of the bright light which shone through the open curtains and squinted at the sharp light and looked away. His eyes adjusted and John slowly opened his eyes and smiled as he saw Cj in front of him. He moved closer to Cj and leaned over her and slowly dipped in and kissed her sweetly on the lips. Cj slowly came out of her slumber her eyes wide open as she looked up at the gorgeous man on top of her. She put her hands on his face and pushed him away and gave him a strange look.
"Morning" she said sleepily
"Morning" he replied
Cj closed her eyes and rolled over with her back to John but John pulled her over onto her back and pinned her down as he began to kiss her collarbone.
"John no…not now I'm sleepy" she said slurring as she attempted to roll over
"You've only just woke up you can't be tired" he insisted continuing to kiss her on her shoulder blades as she laid face first on the bed.
"Moofey" Cj muffled into her pillow.
John sat back "What was that?"
"Coffee" said Cj moving her head "I need coffee"
"Ok well where do you keep it?"
"I don't I get it from the coffee shop down the road"
"You go all the way down the street every time you want a coffee?"
"Don't judge me! Get me coffee please" she pleaded rolling over and smiling at John.
John couldn't say no to her and soon stood up and put his shoes back on and kissed Cj before making his way out of the apartment to pick up coffee. The door slammed and Cj immediately picked up the phone and dialled.
"Hello"
"Gem you've gotta help me"
"With what?" asked a concerned Gem
Cj proceeded to tell her friend the situation.
A While Later…
Cj waited anxiously for John's return until finally the apartment door opened. Cj dove back into bed and closed her eyes pretending she was asleep. John walked back into the bedroom to find Cj still laid on the bed.
"Ok sleepy head I've got your coffee now wake up so you can drink it"
Cj opened her eyes and saw the coffee sat on her nightstand the aroma was intoxicating but Cj didn't dare move in case John tried it on with her again. John sat down next to her on the bed and Cj rolled onto her back as John leaned in for a kiss. With nowhere to run Cj was locked in a sultry kiss with him as the kiss lingered the passion became more intense. John climbed on top of Cj who was pulling him in closer. John started to undress first taking his shirt off and throwing it uncaringly to the floor as his masculine physique was revealed Cj bit down gently on her lip admiring the sight before her. John inched his way out of his jeans and as he did so Cj removed her short shorts. John moved his hand up Cj's thigh and around her ass cupping her cheek. John's lips wandered from her lips down to her voluptuous breasts. As he cupped one breast he sucked hard on the nipple of the other leaving a damp patch on the material covering her. John pulled up Cj's shirt to reveal her perky assets supported by a sheer black bra. As John dipped in to suck on her now visible nipple the phone began to ring. Cj was deep in a sexual utopia and couldn't bring herself to answer the phone and stop what was happening between herself and John. The phone stopped ringing and a beep echoed through the room as the answering machine picked up.
'Hi if you're listening to this it means I'm not here or not answering so wait for the beep and leave your message'
"Cj? Cj I know you're there so answer!"
Cj pulled John's head up and kissed him on the lips ignoring the message.
"Cj come on answer the damn phone it's an emergency. CJ!"
With the sound of urgency in her voice John stopped himself and picked up the phone.
"Hey its John she's here" he said handing the phone to Cj. John stood up and walked away to the bathroom.
"Hey"
"What was that about?" asked Gem wondering what took Cj so long to answer the phone
"Oh sweetie calm down I'll be right over. I'm leaving now"
"You were having sex weren't you?"
"I'll be there as soon as I can, stop panicking"
"I don't believe you Cj!"
Cj hung up and climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom where John was washing his face. He turned to Cj and smiled.
"I've gotta go"
"So I heard"
Cj sighed "Ok I better go" Cj walked out of the bathroom and threw on the first thing she put her hands on. "Remember to lock up when you leave bye" she said immediately leaving the apartment and leaving a bewildered John behind. Cj stopped at the top of the stairs and smacked herself repeatedly in the head then made her way downstairs. Cj walked out of the building and looked up to see if John was at the window then she quickly ran across the road and made her way around the corner and walked into a little café where her friends were waiting for her. She sat down in a heap and shook her head.
"What did we tell you?" asked Gem wondering if Cj had heard a word
"Wind your neck in Gem I didn't sleep with him. A minute later though and you wouldn't have been able to pull us apart"
"What's he doing here anyway?" asked Zak
"When I put the phone down on you guys last night I opened the door to a Chinese guy with a food order. I told him I didn't order it and he just dumped it and left. I started looking for an address to see who it belonged to and the order slip they staple to the bag said 'Does this count as a third date?..."
"Aww" said Zak with a huge smile on her face as a less impressed Gem shook her head in disbelief and disgust.
"…And then one of the cartons started ringing so I found it and answered it and it was him he was stood at the bottom of my stoop"
"That is so sweet"
"And you expect us to believe that you've been with him all night and done nothing?"
"Believe what you want Gem. Nothing happened last night I don't even remember how I got to bed so I must have fallen asleep and nothing happened this morning because you stopped us"
"Yeah and at least she had the smarts to call you for a cover up" said Zak trying to defend her friend
"She shouldn't have had to"
"The guy does this romantic gesture even if I hadn't fell to sleep I couldn't have said ok well goodnight enjoy the hotel"
"Exactly"
"Cej you're trying to screw the guy over! Drive him insane! Saying ok well goodnight enjoy the hotel is what you need to do"
"If I do that he will never call me again. I have to drive him wild I know that but I also have to keep him interested. And if that means giving him a lil bit then so be it"
"Oh my God…I can't talk to her" said Gem to Zak
"Listen I know I'm skating on very thin ice with this guy I keep getting too close to having possibly the best sex of my life but Gem you don't have to worry I will always stop. I did today I could have hung up on your told him it was a girly thing like a broken nail and screwed him in the shower but I didn't I walked in said goodbye walked away and told him to lock up when he left"
"You told him to leave?" asked Zak
"Yes!"
Gem looked at Cj and still concerned for her friend but now a little more positive about her friends ability to say no she smiled and grabbed Cj's hand and squeezed it.
"I hope you know what you're doing because you've lost me now"
"I know what I'm doing"
"Hey there he is!" shouted Zak a little too loud pointing out the window.
Cj lowered herself in the chair and watched as an obviously upset John walked out of the apartment building and hailed a taxi.
"Oh he looks so sad" said Zak
"Good job!" said a vindictive Gem
Cj smiled at her friend "That poor guy he doesn't know what he's in for"
"So if you didn't sleep with him what did you do?" asked Gem
"Let's just say I got a preview and if what follows lives up to the preview then oh my God"
"So he's got the goods?"
"Oh God has he! It was actually pretty damn perfect"
"Eww" said a sheltered Zak
Gem and Cj laughed at Zak as they continued their discussion about John's perfections.
LATER…
Cj picked the phone up off the coffee table sat down in her big club chair and took Johns card and placed it on the arm and dialled his number.
"Hello" he said answering the phone
"Hi there"
"Hi"
"I'm sorry about earlier" Cj apologised
"Nah don't be your friend needed you"
"Over dramatised you know how women can be it's always the worst thing in the world"
"What is?"
"Anything! A break up to a broken nail it's always the end of the world and they can't go on"
"They? You don't include yourself in this?"
"No I'm a new breed of woman" John laughed "I'm back home now so if you want to come back…"
"That's tempting"
"Well if you feel like giving into temptation you know where I live"
Cj hung up and smiled.
LATER…
The doorbell rang and Cj jumped up to answer the door she opened it to see a very handsome and happy John in front of her.
"Hi" she said
"Hey" he replied walking in and grabbing hold of Cj kissing her frantically kicking the door shut behind him. He carried Cj with ease into the main room never breaking the kiss.
"Hi!" came a voice from the seating area
John suddenly stopped kissing Cj and looked at her. With Cj still in his grasp he stepped forward two feet to see Gem sat on the sofa watching TV.
"Hi" he replied and stepped back putting Cj down on the floor "I thought it was just going to be us"
"She's still a little upset" Cj lied
"You said it was over dramatised"
"It was but she's still upset and what kind of a friend would I be if I told her to stop being a drama queen?"
"A friend with an empty apartment"
"Oh don't be angry you won't even notice she's here"
"Cej?"
"Yep"
"Can you get me a drink?"
"Sure"
Cj walked into the kitchen followed by John
"I think I'm just guna go and leave you girls to it"
"Oh you don't have to"
"AND A SANDWICH!" screamed Gem
John looked in the direction of the seating area and shook his head.
"Nah it's fine…I'll be in town for a day or two call me when we can be alone ok?"
"Ok"
John kissed Cj and left the apartment. As the door closed Gem ran into the kitchen.
"It worked!" she exclaimed
"I am too nice to be this evil…that poor guy"
"Fun though hah?"
"So much" said a devilish Cj a little proud of herself
An excited Gem hugged Cj and they danced in a circle. Gem suddenly stopped and looked at Cj.
"Where's my sandwich?"
Cj smiled at her friend and opened a draw and pulled out take away menus.
"I don't do food" she said pointing to her bare cupboards
