We were sitting in the hotel room watching a movie when JJ's Cell rang.
"Hello? What's up girl? Oh for real? I'm game…I'll send the girl to you, cause I know I'll flip if I see her dressed in that before we get there. Who's all coming? Aims, Ran, Chris, Dave, Sheltand Tor? That sounds cool! I'll send her down to you. See ya!"
"Who was that?" I asked, not looking from the TV.
"BJ…she's going to the beach with some guys, and wanted to know if we wanted to come…you game?"
"Yeah, I'm game!" I smiled. Thanks BJ,I thought
"BJ…she's four rooms down from this room. I want you to go down to her room to change."
"Aight gangster!" I said, teasing my brother's character.
"Hurry up lil pimp." He smirked. I went to my bag and pulled out my cute purple and black bikini and a pair of black short shorts and some black flip flops.
I walked over to BJ's room and saw that she was in her suit already. It was blue and black but the top of her suit came all the way down to right above her belly button. Her bottoms were boy cut and her flip flops were blue.
"What's up Mackie Mack?" she smiled.
"Hey Brook. Cute suit."
"Thanks, I just bought it a couple of weeks ago…go on and get dressed." She said, pointing to the bathroom. I walked into the bathroom and put on my suit. It was a string top and regular bottoms, but because of my annoyingly long legs, my shorts that would fit a normal person well, normally, only came down to cover my butt. I slipped my shorts and my flip flops on and then left with BJ.
JOHN'S POV
I was standing in the lobby of the hotel waiting for BJ and my sister to come down, and I saw this blonde come out of the elevator with these really long legs and these tiny shorts on. She was wearing a bikini top too. Her back was to me, so I was checking her out. I started to walk over to her until I noticed a small scar on her lower back. I froze and gagged a little.
"Uh, Mack?"
She turned around and smiled brightly.
"hey JJ, Brook told me to tell you that she was going to grab her cousin and some other people and then she'd be down in a sec." she said as the elevator opened and BJ came out of it with Shelton, Dave, Amy, Randy Christy and Jericho.
"What the hell are you weraring?"
"A swimsuit?" I said at the same time as Amy and BJ
"You're not wearing anything!" I groaned.
"It's not like I have a killer body or anything…"
"Yeah, but she's got potential," Chris muttered to Shelton, who nodded in agreement.
"HEY MAN, that's my SISTER! And she's only 15!" I said.
"I'll be sixteen in six months." She informed them.
"Shut up," I groaned.
"Bite me"
"I don't know where you've been."
"You don't wanna know."
"OKAY children…enough fighting." Dave said, laughing.
"H/She started it!" we yelled.
"And you like this guy?" Christy said, laughing as she Amy and BJ walked away.
"You coming girly?" Amy asked, looking back at my sister. She stuck out her tongue and ran after the girls.
MACKIE'S POV
Well, Shelton Benjamin thinks that I have potential…wow. And so does Chris Jericho. I thought it was funny as hell!
"Well, that was interesting!" I giggled. We walked out to the car and got in laughing. Christy rented a Convertible…wonderful. In the convertible was me, Christy, Torrie, Amy, and BJ. I sat in the back seat and she opened the top. I laughed as she sped off down the road. We stopped at the stop light and JJ and the guys pulled up next to us in I think Randy's Escalade. Inside, Randy, Shelton, Chris, Dave, John, and Rob.
"Randizle! I screamed, waving.
"What's up Short Stuff?" he said. "How's my favorite girl?'
"I'm fine!" I said at the same time as Christy.
"I'm his favorite girl!" I said.
"He said I was." She said.
"RANDY!" we yelled.
"OOH, Rando's pimp game just blew up in his face!" BJ laughed. We raced the rest of the way to the beach.
We laid our stuff out and I put my towel down next to Amy. We found a football in Rando's trunk and started a game of two-hand touch. JJ was the quarter back for my team and he threw a deep pass to me. I dived for it and landed on a boy. He looked to be about 14 or 15, and he had shaggy blonde hair. His eyes were brown and bright. I smiled and stood up.
"Sorry about that." I said.
"No problem…nice catch though." He laughed.
"Thanks…I'm Mack…McKenzie." I said.
"I'm Nicholas."
"Wanna play? The teams are un even…" I said.
"Alright." He said. We walked over to the group.
"Guys this is Nick, he's gonna be on a team with Shelton, Adam, Christy, BJ and Randy."
"Cool the teams'll be even!" Dave said. We lined up and it turned out that Nick was watching me. I ran out and John threw me another pass. I caught it and Nick caught me before I could score. We were having a good time talking and playing football, till We lost and JJ decided to be a sore loser and throw BJ in the water. Then Dave did the same to Amy. I was too busy laughing to notice Nick behind me. He picked me up and threw ME in. I got out and chased him armed with a flip flop. He ran back to where the dry people were sitting and I tackled him. I started to beat him with my flip flop while everyone else laughed and watched.
"do you give?" I asked, still sitting on his back, arm still raised to his him in his head if he answered incorrectly.
"Yeah, I give." He said. I let him up and he tackled me to the ground and tickled me mercilessly.
"N-Nick, QUIT IT!" I screamed.
"Go for her sides man!" Randy said.
"Sh-Sh-Shut up RANDALL KEITH!"
Nick finally stopped and helped me out of the sand.
"Truce?" he asked, holding out his hand.
"Truce," I said taking it. We walked down the beach, and I ignored Christy and Torrie's collective AWWW.
JOHN'S POV
I threw Brook in the ocean and we started to play fight. It was a blast. Then I heard Mack screaming stop and Randy laughing. I look, and I see that Nick kid tickling her. I look at BJ and she makes a ball out of sand and hits me with it. I make my own sand ball and she takes off running. I tackle her playfully to the ground.
"You suck." She said breathlessly.
"Nuh-uh!" I said childishly, poking her in the side.
"Uh-huh!" she said back. I lay back and look up at the sky…it was starting to get dark…and the sky was red and orange and purple…it was pretty cool. I looked over at brook, and she had a far away look in her eye.
"Penny for your thoughts." I said. She lay with her head on my chest and looked up at me.
"Nothing much…I…I just never thought I'd ever get out of Miami…I know it's a huge city and all, but I just can't believe I'm here, looking at the Pacific Ocean, hanging with freaking Celebrities! My mother…she'd flip if she knew what I was doing."
"You don't get on with your mom?"
"Or my dad actually…they're really uppity, you know? And their perfectionists…they threatened to kick me out of the house one time when I was 12 because I asked to go to a performing arts camp! I ended up going for six years because Dave's mom talked them into it. But it's mainly my mother…Dad'll at least LISTEN to what I have to say. I guess you could say I'm a pretty sheltered person."
"You never got the chance to rebel?"
"No, I got it…I got into Rock because if it…and hip hop, they think that rock is the work of the devil, and that hip hop is all about the bitches and the hoes."
"That sucks…"
"Jeff died my hair a couple of times…that really pissed them off!"
"What color is our real hair?"
"Brown…I've died it black, blue, blonde with different colored tips, purple once, and orange."
"Orange?"
"Orange…crayola crayon orange."
"You're psycho."
"If I'm psycho, you're crazy."
"I am crazy…crazy about you." I said, sitting her up and looking at her. She looked at me confused. I looked up at the now night sky and sighed. Then I looked back at her and she narrowed her eyes.
"Come again?"
"Brook, I…I care about you alright? I do. And I know that you've heard stories about me being a player and all, but…I just want to see what it's like to be in a serious relationship, something about you drives me absolutely crazy…I don't know what it is, but you bring out the best in me. I like you woman."
"John…I like you a lot, I think you're a great guy…there's no doubt of my attraction to you…but I don't know if we could do it."
"Do what?"
"US, I mean, we're on two different shows, and we have two different schedules! The next time we'll be together in the same arena would be Summer Slam after Mania!" she sighed.
"We can make it work. We have the same off days…and I can come visit on certain days…we can do it Brook."
"You really think so?"
"Yeah, I do." I said, caressing her cheek.
"Well, let's give it a try…you and me, I mean."
"Seriously?"
"No, Jokingly."
I laughed and did what I'd wanted to do since I'd seen her in the airport that morning.
I kissed her.
"Let's get back before Dave comes looking?" I said.
"Yeah." She smiled. I took her hand and we walked back to the group. They'd started a pretty big bonfire and they were sitting around talking.
"AWWW" Torrie and Christy chorused with Amy. I laughed and sat down, pulling Brook down with me and sitting her between my legs.
"Where's Mack?" I asked, looking around.
Amy pointed and off in the distance I could see two people sitting on the beach. One had their arm around the other who's head was on their shoulder.
"Awww…" Brook cooed.
"Is that…?"
"Yep, it's that Nick kid." Randy said. "Don't worry man, I've had my eye on them…he hasn't tried anything."
"You sure?"
"John, she's 15 man. Calm down…" Adam said, laughing.
"But – "
"John, what did we talk about in the car earlier…?" Brook spoke up.
"Let Mack grow up." I said, sighing.
"So let her grow up…you're her brother, not her dad."
"Whipped!" Randy and Chris coughed. I laughed and flipped them off. I looked back over to where my sister was sitting. She was looking at that nick guy smiling. He wrapped his towel around her shoulders and she kissed her cheek. I tensed up a little. Brook, who was in conversation with Amy Christy and Torrie noticed and looked over at Mack.
"AWWWWW!" she cooed again. The girls looked and cooed too. I looked back and saw that she was kissing him. It was closed mouth, but it was still a kiss. I jumped up and went over to them. I kept quiet and listened to them talking.
"That wasn't anything like kissing guys from West Newberry." She laughed.
"Well, you don't kiss like those bimbos in Venice Beach." He said. "It's better."
She giggled and then looked up at him.
"Are we gonna see each other again?"
"I don't know…I'd like to…but we live on opposite sides of the freaking country. My dad would kill me if I ran up the phone bill like that." He said.
"Same here…you know, I'm surprised that my brother hasn't come up here yet…he's uber-overprotective."
"You're related to a superstar?" he said.
"Yeah, John…Cena."
"I am too."
"Who?"
"You'll see tomorrow…trust me." He laughed.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"You really wanna know?"
"YEAH!" she said.
"Kiss me and I'll tell you."
"Tell me and I'll kiss you."
"Alright…it's…" he whispered in her ear and Mack's jaw dropped.
'HE'S your DAD?"
"Yeah, can't you tell?" he smirked.
"Well, yeah, I can…now that I'm looking."
A cell phone rang and Nick picked it up.
"Hello? Hey dad. I'm still at the beach…not exactly…a bunch of people…no they were superstars actually…no they don't know who I am, well, one person dies, but they are the only person…alright, I'll be at the hotel in…half an hour. Alright, bye." He hung up the phone. 'Well, the time has come…I gotta go."
"Well…put this number in your phone…" she said. Nick put her cell number in his phone and they stood up. She put her arms around his neck and his around her waist. They kissed. For a while I came out of my hiding place and spoke up.
"Mack!"
They broke apart.
"JJ…hey."
"I think it's time that Nick here…went bye bye." I said, crossing my arms over my chest. Nick kissed her on the cheek and ran to a red mustang convertible…it was nice. He started the car and I think it might have been slipknot that filled the air as he drove off.
"John before you wig out…"
"Too late for that Mack…you're 14 years old and you're practically making out with a guy you've only known for a few hours!"
"It's not like he's the first guy I've ever kissed or something! You're totally over-reacting, it's not like I was screwing him!"
"Yeah, well I'm your brother, I'm supposed to be crazy and over react!" I sighed.
'But JJ, I'm 15…almost 16, and you're still treating me like I'm 9. I love you JJ, you're my favorite big brother…but I hate when you act like this…Nick's a really cool kid…he's 16, and he's a sweet guy. We were talking for almost 4 hours, since he threw me in the water, and for the record…I kissed him, not the other way around…he never hit on me like that." She said, walking back towards the fire.
"GIRL, SIT DOWN RIGHT HERE AND TELL US WHAT HAPPENED!" Amy said, smiling.
"Nothing."
"BULL! We were watching…" Shelton teased.
MACK'S POV
I was kind of embarrassed…I laughed and thought back to our conversation
"So Mackie, tell me about you…"
"Well, I live in West Newberry, Massachusetts; I'm 15 and the baby and only girl of 5. My brothers Shawn, Dan, John and Matt are way over protective, but the worst is JJ…he's the one over there with the buzz cut…he's my favorite brother…then Matt. What about you?"
"I'm 16, and the youngest of 2…my older sister Brooke is a singer…she actually went on tour with Hilary Duff…dad's way over protective of her because she's a California bombshell, according to my friends. I live in Venice Beach, California."
We'd talked about everything from our favorite wrestlers, to who we thought would win at Mania, to our favorite colors and foods…we argued over the better baseball team…I was a Red Sox fan, and he's a Yankees fan…we argued.
"So Mack, what do you know about that Nick kid?" BJ asked.
"Well, he's 16, he lives in Venice Beach, he's the youngest of 2, his favorite food is chicken on a stick, his favorite wrestlers are Dave, Randy and JJ, he's a Yankees fan, and he's a really good kisser…" I smiled.
"You kissed?" Amy asked exitedly
"Twice."
"Damn girl, you work fast…"
"And it turns out, he has a family member in the business too…"
"Who?"
"you'll see tomorrow at the hall of fame ceremony."
DAVE'S POV
Well, Brookie and John are finally together…I'm happy for them, and I thought it was cool. I looked across the fire at Amy who was sitting next to Mackie laughing and talking. God was she beautiful. She drove me absolutely crazy. I'd liked her for about three or four months now…I put my dark glasses back on and smiled as Mack talked about the Nick kid. Wonder who he's relate to? We'll have to find out tomorrow at the ceremony.
I know, I know, it took years and decades to get this up…I started on Family is more than a word and completely neglected this story! I'm so sorry! Here it is…review please?
