Chapter 4

Next day-Gym in downtown Detroit

"You know that new diva Vince signed is kinda hot, I might holla at her later." Carlito said while he lifted weights, he was with Kane, Shelton, John and Edge.

"I wouldn't recommend that, the girls a bitch and you can quote me on that." John said as he stretched his legs.

"Just because she doesn't like you doesn't mean you should rag on her." Edge said.

"I'm not raggin on her, I'm givin it to ya straight."

"Yo, yo guys, ain't that her over there?." Shelton asked, the guys turned to the treadmill area where low and behold Aaliyah was standing there in a tight red tee and black tight workout shorts. All the guys stared in awe as well as other guys in the gym.

"She don't know what she doin wit all that." John said as he worked out his arms.

Then aaliyah bent down to stretch out her legs, the guys titled their heads to the side.

"No." Carlito said while continuing to stare at her breath taking rear end. "She knows what she's doing." All the other guys agreed.

"John, go over there and ask her if she wanna go to the club with the guys tonight." Kane asked.

"Hell no, I don't wanna talk to her."

"Just go ask her, it ain't that hard." Edge said.

"Then why don't you ask her?."

"1 because I don't know her and she don't know me, 2 because Lita would kill me and 3 because we asked you."

"Fine." John mumbled as he got to his feet. "Assholes."

Meanwhile Aaliyah was whispering the lyrics to her theme song which she was listening to on her Ipod, not aware that John Cena was standing next to her admiring her voice. As soon as the song ended she felt a presence next to her and turned to face him, she stopped the treadmill and got off.

"Can I help you?." She asked.

"How's your day been going?." He asked trying to make conversation.

"Well, let's see. It's 10:12 in the a.m., I woke up, got dressed and came here, road on the tread until you interrupted me, so far not so well." She said.

This bitch is a real smartass. He thought to himself, he smirked at her. "Anyway, I just came over here to tell you the guys over there were wonderin if you wanted to go to the club with them tonight."

Aaliyah turned to the group of guys john was talking about, she gave a sexy smile and waved at them, they shyly waved back.

"So you game?."

"I guess so, what time are you all leavin?." She asked.

"Whenever we decide to."

"Who am I riding wit?." She asked.

"Well you were gonna ride with Shelton, Triple H and me, but because of that smartass comment you made earlier, you can get ya own ride."

"Oh my god, how will I live." Aaliyah said sarcastically.

"Hopefully you won't." He said.

"Go fuck yourself." She snapped.

"Go suck a dick." He snapped back.

She gave him the hand. "Whatever." She pulled out her cell and walked away. As john walked back over to the guys, he saw they were laughing at him.

"What the hell are ya'll laughin at?." He said as he sat back down.

"You really need some help on how to deal with the ladies." Carlito said while pointing to himself.

"I don't need no help, I'm fine with the skills I got."

"Obviously not if she just gave you the hand and left."

"I don't give a damn about her, there's plenty of girls in this city, why would I wanna get at her."

"Uh, cause she's hot." Shelton said as if that was a stupid question to ask.

"She ain't all that." John said making the guys gasp in shock.

"The girls got the body of a goddess." Kane said.

"Golden eyes." Said Edge.

"Sexy smile." Said shelton.

"And she got ass for weeks." Carlito said. The three guys laughed at the comment, john rolled his eyes.

"She may have all that, but that attitude just ain't workin for me." John said.

"Why, I like em feisty." Edge said. John gave him an awkward look.

"Okay, I'll see you guys later." With those final words john got up and left.

That night at a club in downtown Detroit the WWE superstars were gathered around the bar ordering drinks for everyone.

"Man this club is bumpin." Booker T stated as he took another swig of beer.

"Yeah and there sure are some fine girls here tonight." Shelton added.

"Yo Cena, where's that hot chick you invited?" Triple H asked.

"Don't know, don't care." John said as he ordered another drink.

"John's not to fond of the new girl." Edge said to triple h.

"Why not?"

"He's got issues."

"I don't not have issues." Cena defended turning to edge. "I just know a bitch when I see one."

"And we know a dumbass when 'we' see one." Shelton said. John rolled his eyes and turned back around.

"Oh look, there she is." Carlito said, all the guys turned to the entrance way were Aaliyah and another girl were walking there way.

Aaliyah was dressed in very tight jean shorts and a white tube top the read sexy on it and black heels, her hair was in soft waves. The girl next to her had very curly hair and was dressed in tight sky blue capris, a red tube top and matching heels.

"Hi guys." Aaliyah said walking up to the group of men.

"Hi." The guys answered.

"You must be aaliyah, wow you look gorgeous." Triple H said kissing the back of her hand.

"Thank you, um this is my friend Mariah. Mariah these are the guys off of Raw." She took turns shaking each of their hands.

"H is right, both of you guys look beautiful, don't they John?" Edge said.

John kept his back to the group as he continued to drink his beer. "They look aight." Aaliyah rolled her eyes at his ignorance.

"You must be John." Mariah said making the group laugh. Aaliyah stayed and order a drink while everyone else went to take their seats.

"Hey Liyah." The bartender greeted the woman.

"Hey Andrew." Aaliyah greeted her friend.

"What can I get you?"

"Um, I'll have the Suicide and Mariah'll have the Chocolate Covered Grasshopper." (A/N: These are real names of drinks)

John looked at her weirdly as the bartender made there orders. "Drinks really have names like that?"

"Obviously you haven't been to Detroit many times, the top bartender here Chris makes all the coolest drinks." Andrew handed aaliyah her orders. "Thanks Andy."

"Did you live here or something?"

"2 years before I moved to Boston for 4 ears before I went home to Brazil."

"I knew you had a slight accent." He said, the two turned around and looked out on the dance floor. "Sorry bout what I said earlier, you do look nice tonight."

"Thank you." Aaliyah replied finding it kinda weird that they were actually having a conversation.

Soon after 'I Ain't Mad at Cha' by Tupac started playing, the two watched as the people who were once bumpin and grindin, now began to slow dance. John glanced at Aaliyah, her eyes were fixated on the couples who were smiling at each as they held them closely.

"If you don't hate me that much, you wanna dance with me?"

"...Sure." John held her hand and took her to the dance floor, once they found a spot, he pulled her into his arms while she rested her head on his shoulders.

"Oh hell no." Shelton said.

"What." Carlito asked.

"That lying son ova bitch."

"What." Triple H.

"Looks who's out on the dance floor." Everyone turned to where shelton was looking and they were surprised to see Cena and Aaliyah slow dancing...together.

"What happened to "I know a bitch when I see one"?" Edge asked mocking what john said earlier.

"Maybe he's having a change of heart." Booker T said.

Meanwhile on the dance floor aaliyah now had her arms around john's neck, while his grip tighten around her waist. To john, Aaliyah felt so soft in his arms, it was just like she felt so right or something. He loved the smell of Chanel she wore, to aaliyah, she loved how john's strong arms wrapped around her, she just felt so protected and safe. A few seconds later aaliyah began to feel her eyes water up, she sighed.

"Not again." She said quietly, john pulled away from her a little.

"What's wrong?" He asked seeing a few tears run down her cheeks.

"Nothing, it's just every time I listen to this song, it makes me cry." She explained, she was about to wipe the tears away, but john gently grabbed her wrist and set it down. With his thumb he softly rubbed the tears away, he put on a small smile.

"There, much better." He whispered, she smiled up at him.

"I think they gettin a little too closer out there." Mariah stated.

"Defiantly, I bet their drunk. If they were sober they sho' wouldn't be near each other." Carlito added.

"I'm gonna go break it up." Mariah said as she stood up from the table. After pushing through a few couples she reached the pair. "Aaliyah."

The two jumped a little as they turned to mariah. "Yeah."

"Come on you guys, come sit down." she said grabbing aaliyah and pulling her away, john rolled his eyes as he followed.
