Chapter 3 Adjusting to a new Life/Crushes
John's POV
I was sitting on the couch downstairs with the guys watching XXX eating a slice of pizza. To tell you the truth I really wasn't paying attention to the movie, I was more worried about Aqua, I hadn't heard any noises from upstairs for the past half hour, all of the sudden I heard a light stomp, I turned around and aqua was standing at the top of the stairs in my Celtics jersey. Thankfully it showed a lot of her legs and it hugged her body just right, I couldn't help but stare, little did I know that I wasn't the only one who had noticed. I turned around to see Chris, Book, Eddie, Shelton and Dave all had their mouths opened, I turned back to aqua and I could see she felt uncomfortable.
"You need anything?". I asked, startling her.
"I just wanted to ask you about something". She said quietly, I got up and followed her up the stairs to the room, as I walked in I saw she was staring at the flat screen I put in there. "What's that?".
"It's a t.v.". I said. She gave me a blank look, I put on an awkward look, I thought Scotland had t.v.'s. I reached over and grabbed the remote that was sitting next to her.
"You turn it on with this button". I said pointing to the red button at the top of the remote. "And you use these buttons to channel, turn the volume up and other stuff". She seemed to understand good enough, I turned on the t.v. and started to flip through the channels until she saw something interesting, she made me stop on a channel, ironically wrestling.
"I wanna watch that". She said laying on the bed. I smiled and tossed the remote to her.
"If you need anything else, just ask, I'll be downstairs". I said as I left the room, as I walked back downstairs I saw the guys were looking at me with smiles.
"What in the fuck are you staring at?". I asked as I got back to watching the movie and eating my pizza.
"Don't bullshit us". Book said, I turned to him. "We all saw how you were looking at her when she came down the stairs, you like her".
"What?". I said, pretending I didn't know what he was talking about.
"How long you gonna keep her here?". Shelton asked, truth be told I really didn't know. I mean I was just starting to get to know this girl.
"Awhile, she doesn't have anywhere to go, I'm not gonna put her out on the street, she was almost raped tonight". I said taking another bite for my pizza.
"She was almost raped?". Eddie repeated, I nodded. "You should defiantly have her stay".
"She needs some clothes and stuff, but I'm not good at picking out girl clothes, I'm better at picking out the underwear". I said as we all shared a laugh.
"Hey, I got an idea". Benoit said as we all turned to look at him. "Why don't we call the divas, they can take her shopping tomorrow". We all looked at each other, that was a good idea.
"We'll call them, after the movie". Bautista said, we all agreed and went back to watching the movie. Close to 2 hours later the guys had all fell asleep on the floor and the couch, I walked upstairs to go to bed, but I decided to check on aqua. As I walked inside I smiled at the sight, she was asleep, her back turned to me and Raw was just going off, I picked up the remote off the floor and pulled the covers over her, I kissed her on her cheek and left the room.
"Ironic how she picks my favorite jersey". I thought to myself and smiled as I closed the door to my room to go to bed.
Aqua's POV
I let out a soft yawn as I woke up, as I opened my eyes I immediately closed them at the sight of the sun. I turned away from the window and swung my legs off the bed, I rubbed my eyes open and pulled the covers off of me. As I got up and open the door out into the hall, I didn't hear a single sound, I walked downstairs into the living room and spotted a note that read my name, I picked it up to read it.
Dear Aqua,
I had to go with my friends to the arena (I'll explain why later) one of my friends is coming by. Don't worry he won't hurt you, I'm just training with him. A few girls are gonna come by to take you shopping, I left some money for you, I also had enough time to by you an outfit to wear. I'm not good at picking out girl stuff, so I hope you like it, it's in my room on the bed. The money's on the dining room table, feel free to have you something to eat, I know you must be hungry. See you tonight.
Love John
I smiled at the note and went back upstairs to his room, as I opened the door I immediately saw the outfit. It was a black shirt that read Sexy on it, it was really cut short, but still cute. There was also a pair of jeans below it with a black belt and below that were some black sneakers, kinda like the ones he had on. I was just about to pick up the outfit when I heard the door open from downstairs and close. I slowly walked out of the room into the hallway and I could hear the person from upstairs.
"Anybody here?". They said. I was to scared to say anything. I walked up and stood at the head of the stairs and saw him come out of the living room, he stood at the bottom of the stairs and stared at me.
He was good looking in his own way. Tan skin like mine, with shoulder length blond hair, nice green eyes, he wasn't as buff as john or his friends, he was wearing a white tank top and some jeans. We just stood there staring at each other, he smiled a little, I liked his smile.
"You must be aqua". He said finally breaking the silence in the room. I nodded as I walked down the stairs, as I got closer to him he extended his hand out to me, I shook it. "Nice to meet you I'm Shawn Micheals".
"Hello Shawn, nice to meet you too". I said as I let go of his hand, he had a strong grip.
"I know I look intimidating, but I'm a nice guy". He said, I smiled.
"I'm just gonna go get dressed, john said some girls were coming by to take me shopping so I gotta get ready". I said. He nodded and walked into the kitchen while I went back upstairs, as I walked back into john room I got undressed from the jersey I was wearing, I slipped on the shirt, it fit well, then I put on the jeans, I looked in the mirror that he had hanging next to his closet. The shirt made my chest stick out and the jeans made my butt look big, but all in all I looked good.
I slipped on the shoes which fit perfectly and went into the bathroom down the hall, I looked at myself in the mirror again, my hair was a little mess up and my eyes had not yet been adjusted to being opened, I basically had the drowsy look. I saw a brush on the sink and began to brush my hair down, after a few minutes it was straight down and neat. As I left the bathroom and went back downstairs I saw Shawn sitting on the couch watching I think what they called the news. He turned to look at me and his eyes widened.
"You look beautiful, not that you didn't before". He said, I smiled and sat down next to him.
"Thank you". I said, I saw a bag in his lap that read "Lays Original", he was stuffing the stuff that came out of it into his mouth. "What are those?". I pointed to the bag.
"My bad". He said holding the bag in front of me. "There chips, you want some?". I nodded and took a little, I put it in my mouth, it didn't taste bad. A few minutes later I heard a knock on the door, Shawn got up to answer it while I watched something on the news about President Bush.
"Hey what's up Shawn". I heard a girl say.
"Nice to see you Shawn". I heard another say.
"Hey Shawny boy". I heard the final one say.
"Nice to see you ladies, Aqua's in there". Shawn said I turned around to where the noises had been coming from to be looking at three girls. One was short with long black hair, she was dressed in a plan white shirt and some shorts. The other was a little taller with long blond hair, she was wearing some black capri's with a shirt that said 100 Satisfaction on it. The other was way taller with also long blond hair, wearing a short jean skirt and a light blue button down shirt. I didn't know what to say so I just sat there.
"So your Aqua?". The black haired woman said, I nodded. "Well hi, I'm Victoria". She walked up to the couch and extended her hand out to me, I shook it.
"I'm Trish". The short blond one said walking up to me and extending her hand, I shook it as well.
"And I'm Stacey, nice to meet you". The taller one said extending her hand to me, I shook it. "You ready to go shopping?'. I nodded. I got up and walked into the dining room, I saw some money laying there and picked it up, then I waved good-bye to Shawn and left with the girls.
"That's a nice outfit Aqua". Stacey said.
"Thank you, john got it for me". I said.
"I thought john didn't know how to pick out outfits". Victoria said as we got into her BMW and drove away.
"So John, Book tells me you got a thing for this girl you picked up off the street". Rene' Dupree said, he was in the gym with John along with Booker T, Undertaker, Orlando Jordan and Paul London.
"She's not a prostitute if that's what your thinking". John said as he began to do push ups.
"I'm not say she is, but you got her off the street". Rene' as he lifted some weights.
"She's a nice girl". John said. "And besides, if I didn't pick her up there was a good chance that she might have been raped". As soon as he said that the 4 guys stopped what they were doing.
"You failed to mention that". Rene said.
"Because it was none of your fuckin' business in the first place". John said as he glared at Booker T.
"Hey, I just tell it like it is". Book said putting his hands up like he was surrendering.
"So when do we get to meet the young girl you saved". Undertaker asked as the guys nodded.
"I'm picking her up tonight, I don't want her to be alone by herself, she should be hanging out with the girls right now". John said.
"I just have one question". Paul said while punching the punching bag he had been at for the past hour. "Even though you've only know her for one night, do you like here?". John stopped his set of push ups, when he first saw her at the beach of course he liked her.
"Answer the question John". Orlando said breaking john out of his thoughts. "Because if you don't, we're just gonna keep asking".
"Yeah I like her". John said smiling.
"How bout this?". Victoria said holding up a white tube top and some shorts.
"I don't know". Aqua said nervously. "I'm not really used to being that exposed".
"There's nothing to be nervous about, besides you got a great body, if you were wearing tight clothes and what not I guarantee the guys would be looking". Trish said.
"Well can we change the top?". Aqua said grabbing the shorts, victoria nodded and set the top on the hanger.
"How about this outfit?". Stacey said holding up a pink Geisha skirt with a matching halter top. Aqua nodded in approval as she grabbed the outfit.
"Oh this is cute". Trish said showing a jean skirt, a white tee that had Bootylicious on it and a black and white trucker cap that said Gucci.
"Ok I think we have enough outfits". Stacey said as they purchased the clothes. "You have enough clothes to last you a whole year".
"Thank you for taking me shopping". Aqua said.
"It's fine". Trish said. "Besides, we needed the day out".
"So, Book tells us, that you spent the night at john's house, how did you guys meet anyway?'. Victoria said as stacey and trish nodded.
"Well, I was walking around the pier last night and these two guys came up to me asking if I wanted to go home with them, they backed me up into this pole and they wouldn't leave, then john came and punched one of them in the face, while the other guy ran, I didn't have any where to go so he let me stay with him".
"Aw, that was so sweet, do you like him?'. Stacey asked.
"Well he's nice, but I don't know he probably doesn't like me anyway, he was just probably being polite". Aqua said walking ahead of the girls.
"I beg to differ". Trish said. Aqua turned around to see trish pull out some flippy thing and hold it up to her ear.
"This is she". Trish said. "You ask like I said. Paul did. Well what did he say. He did. Oh that's perfect. Talk to you later. By Book". Trish said closing the object and putting it in her pocket.
"Who was that?". Vicky asked.
"That was Book, I called him while you guys went to get make-up and stuff, I asked him to ask john if he like aqua". She said turning to her who had a blank look.
"Nosy". Vicky said, trish rolled her eyes.
"Well what did he say?". Stacey asked.
"He likes her". Trish answered making Vicky and Stacey jump for joy.
"He likes me". Aqua repeated while the girls nodded, a smile soon appeared on her face and the four girls left.
That evening Aqua was sitting on the balcony looking out into Dana Point, the girls had helped her put up her clothes and shoes. After last night the balcony had become her favorite place to relax at, but she felt she was to far away. She stood up and went back into the house, she walked downstairs and slipped on her flip flops and left the house and took a trip to the beach. Once there she took off her slides and walked down the beach where there was a mountain of rocks, she began to climb them, once she was on top she went down until her feet were just a few inches away from the water. She closed her eyes so that Chris would hear her presence, all of the sudden a head pooped out of the water, it was a guy, he had short brown hair that was somewhat spiked, he was light skinned like Aqua and had beautiful brown eyes.
"Hi Chris". Aqua said smiling down at the young guy.
"Hey yourself". He said with a smile.
"How you been?". She said pulling her knees up to her chest.
"Not so good, I miss you to much". He said swimming closer to her.
"I miss you too".
"How was your first night on land?".
"Well I was walking down the pier looking around and these two guys backed me into this pole and they wouldn't leave me alone, then this guy came and saved me and I'm staying with him right now".
"Is he nice?".
"Yes Chris he's nice, he gave me this outfit". She said showing him the suit.
"Good, cause I don't want anybody messin' with my baby girl". Chris said making her laugh, since chris was older than her he always used to protect her, that's why they were such good friends.
"How's everything goin' down there?".
"Bad, your mom can't stop crying because she misses you to much and your dad just stays cooped up in the house, that's why I'm staying with them to keep them company".
"Thanks, did dad say when I might be able to come back?".
"No, we still keep seeing those lights, he still looking around".
"This is all my fault, I should have never gone over".
"It's ok Aq, it was an accident".
"But now I have to stay up here".
"Hey look at the bright side, at least you get to experience something new".
"Yeah, well I gotta go, John's supposed to be picking me up to take me somewhere".
"Ok, bye Aq". He said, aqua leaned down and kissed him on the cheek and watched him disappear back into the water. She let out a sigh and left to go back to john's house.
