Chapter 5

"What the hell is going on here?"

Lily was forced into consciousness at the sound of her father's deep, aggravated voice. She shot straight up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes and realizing someone was beside her. She turned and jumped when she saw John, who was looking guiltily up at her father a hint of fear in his tired blue eyes.

"John! What?" Lily said, looking confused.

"It's all right, nothing happened, I promise," he assured her.

"That's not what I was seeing!" Glen yelled, his angry gaze demanding an explanation.

"I swear, we didn't do anything! We rented a scary movie to watch after you freaked out about the peanut butter. Lily fell asleep and kept whimpering, so I decided to stay and keep her company just in case she had a nightmare. I must have conked out, my fault." John explained.

Glen's expression wavered as his temper waned and Lily climbed out of the bed. She walked right up to her father and looked up into his mismatched blue eyes.

"Dad, nothing happened, I know it might not have looked that way, but I swear nothing happened. I fell asleep in the middle of the second movie," she explained, looking determinedly at her father.

He still did not look convinced so Lily sighed in frustration, "Dad, I'm still a virgin, you can stop looking at me like I'm a whore, save that look for Candice Michelle."

Glen smiled at her remark and nodded, "Alright, alright, but you have to get dressed, you and a group of Superstars are going to a photo shoot for Raw magazine."

"Wait, why am I going to be in Raw Magazine?"

"They're doing a special piece on me and I told them they could use you in the piece as well, so go get ready!" Glen said, motioning for her to go in the bathroom.

Lily shooed the two men out of the bedroom and jumped in the shower quickly. She left her hair down and pulled on a tiny black pleated skirt and a white tank top with her clack Converses. She did not bother with any makeup, for she rarely wore it anyway and waltzed into the living room where John and her father were waiting.

John's jaw dropped when he saw her and Glen shook his head disapprovingly.

"You like?" Lily smiled at the look on her father's face.

"You look great!" John said, eyeing her figure with interest.

"Hands off, John, she's not here to impress you," Glen snapped. "And if I had my way you would not be wearing that, but we're running short on time. Let's go you two."

John hopped to his feet quickly, "See you at the shoot," he nodded and left the room.

Glen led Lily out to the parking lot and the tow rushed off to where the shoot would be held downtown. As soon as Lily walked in she was rushed into makeup with the other Divas.

They did not do much, only adding some cherry flavored lip gloss and mascara before she was rushed to hair. The same woman who did her makeup, styled her hair, pulling half of it into a ponytail and curling it. The photographer, a man named Sean, rushed over to her as she finished.

"Lily, the first photos we're going to take are going to be with Kane, okay?" he said, guiding her to where his cameras were set up.

"Yeah, sure, am I just wearing this?" she asked as her father approached her in his ring attire.

"Yes, you look ready to fight, here put this hat on backwards," he suggested handing her a black and white Chain Gang hat that John was supposed to wear.

Lily put the hat on and looked at Sean for direction. He positioned her so that she was glaring at her father, her fists raised. He glared back at her as Sean flashed picture after picture. Lily did various shots with her father, mostly posing as the angry teenager with attitude toward her father.

"Okay, Lily, you stay here, I want you to pose with a couple of the Superstars, you're an excellent model," Sean said as Glen walked away.

Lily placed her hands on her hips as Sean bustled around his various cameras. He hurried away for a moment and returned, dragging and excited Chris Masters with him.

"Oh, come on," Lily complained at the look on Chris's face.

"Flower! Nice to see you again! Maybe we'll get lucky and appear in the magazine together!"

"I'd rather die."

"Don't be silly," Sean said from behind one of the cameras. "Now, Chris I want you to lean against the wall and Lily I want you to be denying him."

Lily grinned evilly and nodded, doing as she was told. She posed with the entire roster, including the Divas. Sean saved the best for last, bringing a giddy John into the room. Lily beamed at him as he swung the WWE Championship over his shoulder.

"You know John well?" Sean asked.

"Yeah, we're tight," Lily laughed as John wrapped his arm around her waist.

Sean looked at the two and a smile crept onto his face, "Alright, here's what I want you to do…"

First Lily was supposed to pose with her back pressed into John's chest as he draped the WWE Championship over her shoulder. The second pose Lily had to rest her head on John's chest as he wrapped his arms around her. Sean snapped multiple of these, making John rest his chin on, and kiss , the top of her head. Lily was shocked at the last pose, for she was surprised at John's willingness. Sean made Lily wrap her leg around John's waist and her arms around his neck.

"Now, John, I want you to kiss her, and make it a good shot for me, okay?" Sean said.

John nodded and looked down at Lily who looked completely taken back. He smiled assuring at her and returned his gaze to Sean. The photographer motioned for him to kiss her so he glanced down at Lily before claiming her lips with his.

At first Lily was hesitant as Sean snapped picture after picture. She was soon so drawn in by John's kiss, she deepened it, opening her mouth and letting John's tongue explore hers. She pulled him closer, wrapping her arms tighter around him. A small moan escaped her lips as John kissed her and she smiled when they broke apart.

"Well, I'll leave you two alone," Sean said and left the room.

Lily blushed and stepped away from John looking at her feet guiltily. John leaned forward, lifting her chin so she'd look at him. He kissed her again, gently, and smiled.

"What do I do now?" Lily asked shyly, looking up into John's deep blue eyes.

He laughed, "I dunno, but that was amazing."

"Did it mean anything?" Lily questioned, her ice blue eyes darkening.

"Of course it did, it meant I want to be more than friends with you, Lily," John said quietly.

"So that males us a couple?" Lily stated.

"Only if you ant us to be."
