"So now what's happening?" Mickie threw her hand over her eyes and leaned closer to Randy.
"Oh spare me…" Lita rolled her eyes and reached for the popcorn. Why am I doing this to myself… I can't stand her!
Randy diverted his attention from the movie to Lita who sat quietly on the couch opposite him. She unconsciously swept her fire red bangs behind her ears and bit at her index finger as she watched the George Lucas movie. Randy would have continued to eye the daringly beautiful diva had it not been for a knock at the door.
"I'll get it!" Lita popped off the couch and ran to the door. "Please be some one with half a brain…" She drew back the door and exposed Hailey. "Lye!" She couldn't help but scan her best friend. Hailey's onyx black hair sat contently on her shoulders and complemented the diva's emerald eyes. The Hollister jacket she wore rode comfortably on her hips and exposed mere inches of her touchable almond stomach. As always, Hailey's jean sat snugly on her hips and clung to her perfectly feminine legs.
"Hey Lita…are you okay? Haven't killed anyone yet?" Hailey walked in the door and plopped on the couch in time to catch the credits roll on the first movie.
"Nope! Aren't you proud of me?" Lita sat next to her best friend and laid her head on Hailey's shoulder.
"I most defiantly am… " Randy got up and searched for a second movie.
"Well, what about me?" Mickie got up and walked seductively over to Randy's side. He flashed her his infamous Orton smile and nearly lost it as she accidentally rubbed up against him.
Lita and Hailey exchanged looks and silently cemented a plan. "Well, um, while you guys pick out the next movie, I think Lita and I should-"
"Uh, go get some snacks!" Mickie threw the end of a sentence in Hailey's mouth, never breaking eye contact with Randy.
Lita was fine with Mickie's cooperation, but it annoyed Hailey slightly. For the greater good, Hailey played it off, but not before Lita could notice. Silently, the two girls made their way out of the suite.
"HA! I knew she'd annoy you eventually!" Lita was all but doing cartwheels down the hall. "I give it days 'til you hate her as much as I do!"
Hailey laughed a little, "I could never hate someone that much, but yes, she's getting a little annoying." Hailey and Lita continued to talk, at first about Mickie and then about any and everything else as they made there way to a local Circle K.
"So what are we supposed to get?" Hailey scanned each aisle in the dinky corner store.
Lita followed behind her and smiled, "I guess what ever we want!" Both girls splintered and met up at the counter with a good fifty dollars worth of junk food, candy and energy drinks.
Hailey nodded her head in contentment as the cashier rung up the eccentric purchases, "You know what's missing?" Both the cashier and Lita shook their heads. " Can I have a fifth of Absolut Vodka please?"
"Ah…that's why I love you!" Lita grabbed one of the bags and with Hailey, made her way out to the car.
Hailey sped all the way back to the hotel, in hope of catching Mickie and Randy in the act, The ran up to the room and swung up in the door, exposing exactly what they predicted they would.
Lita let a cynical smile span her face. "Oh, am I interrupting something?" Randy and Mickie were like deer in the headlights as Hailey came in the door. She drew out a box of condoms and threw in front of the two.
"Orton, I'm sort of disappointed…" Hailey and Lita laughed as Randy hung his head in shame. The girls exited the room and purposely left the door wide open as they, and the fifth of vodka, headed to the rooftop
"That was great…" Hailey locked arms with Lita and basically skipped up the stairs to the rooftop patio.
"Yeah, it was priceless." For the second time that evening Lita caught herself peeking at her friend.
Hailey met the gaze a smiled curiously, "LiLi are you sure you're okay?"
Lita opened the bag and broke out the fifth and a huge bag of tropical Skittles, "Yep, I'm absolutely positive. The two girls ate, drank and were merry until about one o'clock that morning. They tried to inconspicuously make way back Lita room and miraculously, they succeeded.
"Thing I should call John?" Hailey scream/whispered, as drunks often do.
"Nope…" Lita encouraged her to play it off, "Would he call you?" As Lita asked the question, she found herself in a pivotal position. Is there trouble in paradise? A moment of sobriety took over.
Hailey sat on the edge of Lita's bed and bit her lip in deep thought (which was probably triggered by her sixth or seventh shot), "I don't think he would…we never talk anymore…."
The next minutes were a shared consensus that men were over-rated before Lita and Hailey both passed out on the King-sized bed.
"Ugh… I hate that sound." Lita swatted at the phone next to her for a good ten seconds before Hailey reached over her to answer it. "Hell, Devil speaking…"
"Hey, where are you?" Randy was known for asking stupid questions.
"Didn't you call Lita's room? Wow Orton, You've spent way to much time with Mickie!" Both Lita and Hailey laughed or a good minute.
"Shut up! That was un-cool last night…" Randy could barely withhold the laughter himself, "Well, it worked, she won't talk to me and she left here mumbling something about on your first-borns…"
"I'm sure we'll get over it. Anyways, so talk to John?"
"Yeah, he said he's back in his room now, if you care."
Hailey bit her lip and felt bad about not letting her boyfriend know what was going on, "Okay, Orton. Thanks." She hung up the phone and flopped back in bed for a last moment of serenity before throwing herself together.
"Are you leaving me?" Lita sat up a brushed her crimson hair out of her face exposing her beautifully deep eyes.
"Yepperz. I guess my boyfriend wants to spend some time with me." Hailey gave a pathetic smile and kissed Lita on the forehead. "Thanks for last night though…see you at lunch."
As he best friend exited the room, Lita threw herself back in bed, "Great…a 'morning after' without a 'night before'…."
Hailey knocked on the door to John Cena's room. After about thirty seconds worth of procrastination, John made his way to the door and cracked it open. "Hey!" he exclaimed jokily, "I know you!"
He let his girlfriend in an hopped in the shower. Minutes later he came out in a white tank top and a pair of black basketball shorts. "How was your night?"
"Okay…"Hailey smiled as she sat on the edge of his bed. "Me and Lita hung out on the rooftop 'til like one. Did you end up doing anything?"
John nodded. "I went and hung out with Randy for a minute." John was being evasive, which annoyed Hailey, because she knew he had nothing to hide.
"So we're playing these games?" Hailey laid back on the bed, knowing an argument would soon ensue.
"Baby, what game are we playing? I'm not playing anything. I told you where I was last night! What more do you want from me?" John continued to search through his beg for the shirt that he wanted.
"I want a decent conversation…" Hailey mumbled.
"Well then don't leave me sleeping in your bedroom and go out and drink all night…" John retorted with the same defiance as Hailey had.
"Cause we both know you've never done that to me…"
"Lye…I really don't want to fight. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped." John inched towards the bed and extended a hand to Hailey.
She accepted it and sat up, "I should have told you what was going on last night, I'm sorry." John leaned down to kiss Hailey once before going, but got pulled onto the bed by her.
"Babe, I don't think I have time…." John would have protested further had in not been for the second 'take me now' kiss. "Okay… I can spare five minutes." John took the opportunity to flip his girlfriend over and lead the next kiss. Spending no time on romanticism John unzipped the hoody she was wearing and skillfully freed her of the lace bra under her camo cami.
As John's kisses wondered from Hailey lips, to her neck and to the edge of her top, she stripped John of his tank top and awaited his next move. He unbuttoned her super tight jeans, and his cell phone screamed out, " Stop what you're doing and answer you phone!" in Vince McMahon's voice.
Like a kid caught on prom night, John threw up his hands. "Sorry Babe….I forgot to turn it off."
Hailey caught her breath and gave John 'the look', "Don't you dare answer that phone."
John gave her a pleading glance before he flipped open his cell phone. "Hey Bossman! Yeah, you're daughters here….no. Ha, you're a funny guy." John looked over at his heated girlfriend and handed her the phone.
"Hey Daddy."
"Doll! How are you?" Vince had a soft spot for his youngest daughter.
"I'm okay, Dad. Was something wrong?" Hailey still gave John the death eye as her father explained her just wanted o see why she wasn't answering her phone and hung up.
"So is everything okay?" John tried to avoid the conversation he knew was coming.
Hailey stood, re-buttoned her jeans and re-zipped her jacket. "Yeah, but as much of a horn dog as you were when we stared dating, I never thought we'd have an issue with sex…"
The incredible low blow caused John to stand in shock momentarily as Hailey made her way out of the room.
"Whoa, she said that?" Randy finished that rep of ten and then looked over to his friend.
"Yeah, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now…" John finished spotting Batista and swapped positions with him.
"Well," Dave help the metal bar above Cena, "why don't we ask Mr. Romance himself? Any ideas Flair?"
Ric Flair came off the treadmill and joined the group of guys. "You got to show her you mean business?"
John finished his rep and sat up, seemingly disgusted, "My mother said never hit a woman!"
Paul (Triple H) came over from the butterfly press and playfully slapped John on his neck. "No dummy, Flair means 'romance her'. Get the presidential suite… set up the Jacuzzi have roses…you know the whole nine yards."
Randy, Dave, Paul and Ric laughed as the proverbial light bulb lit over John's head.
!#(Meanwhile…)
Lita walked over to her door and cracked it open, "Yes…"
"Lita…let me in!" Hailey pouted and after she was let in, Hailey told Lita the whole entire story.
"So are you mad at him?" Lita poured a glass of orange juice for Hailey and herself.
"No, it's just… it's like we aren't even dating anymore. We don't hardly talk…we don't have sex at all…. I think he needs to either step things up or…" Just then Hailey phone rang. "Hey Steph…"
"Hey girlie…so you know I know what happened right?"
Hailey hung her head, "Yeah…so are you gonna tell me what he said?" Hailey sat and listened as her older sister exposed John's plan to her.
"You know how I feel about the subject, so take it how you want to." Stephanie blew kisses to her baby sister over the phone before hanging up.
Lita smiled as she looked at the irritated face Hailey made. "So what did you're guiding light' say."
Ley giggled a little, "Um...John, after being advised by the romantic master minds of Evolution, has planned a rendezvous for him and I were his is to show me how much I really mean to him."
Lita laughed too, "Well how are you gonna respond?"
"I'm not sure yet…."
Lita and Hailey got dressed and headed to lunch with a couple of other divas. The pulled into the small Italian Bistros parking lot next to a large red Navigator, Stacy Keibler's signature rental. Upon entering the nearly deserted restaurant, they spotted Stacy and Melina seated in an isolated booth towards the back.
" Hey ladies!" Stacy stood up and hugged tow of her closest friends. "What's going on with you two?"
Hailey filled the girls in on her four months leave, but keep that morning's events to herself. Lita, having been with the girls across the booth everyday for no one knows how long, answered with a simple. 'Fine.'
The girls shared general chit-chat for a good five minutes before their orders were taken and their food arrived. The foursome was a ways into the meal when Hailey's cell went off.
"Aww…who is that?" Melina raised in eyebrow at the PCD 'Stick Wit Chu' ring tone.
Hailey rolled her eyes as she answered the phone. "Yes…"
"Please don't be mad at me…I had to answer it…" John defended himself.
"No, you didn't, but I'm over it. What's going on?" Hailey knew John knew that she was still upset, but counted it as reparation for earlier.
"Can you come back to the hotel…you and Lita?" John sounded a little concerned and quickly opened her purse, throwing fifty bucks on the table.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" She stood up and waited for a response.
Cena laughed a little, "Nothing's wrong, I just need you guys to come back here, can you?"
"Yeah, were on our way." She hung up the phone, parted ways with Stacy and Melina and was back at the hotel in less than ten minutes.
"So what's this about?" Lita locked arms with her semi-anxious friend.
"Not sure, " Hailey slid her key into her room's door, "But I hope-" Before she could finish her sentence, she opened her room door and exposed the elaborately decorated room. All the cheesy little hotel decorations had been removed, as had the couch. In the center of the common room stood two massage tables surrounded in a plethora of scented candle and unique rocks. Hailey approached the tables and on one noticed a note and a single red rose.
Hey, I figured I owed you a little something. I'm glad you're back and I care for you. Please enjoy… John"Wow…I guess I'll see you later…." Lita turned and headed towards the door.
Hailey ran up behind her and drug her back to the second table. "Read your note first if you're gonna ditch me…" The raven-haired diva handed Lita the note on the other table.
You deserve a treat to Lita, but don't expect a 'happy ending'
John
"Aw...isn't he sweet." Lita and Hailey both dressed in the robes provided for them and waited for the masseurs.
They talked to each other in the waiting time and well into the massage, eventually, they ended up on the topic of John.
"Is it weird that after a year he hasn't told me he loves me?" Hailey felt dumb asking the question, but desperately needed some one besides her married older sister's opinion.
"Honestly… it's a little odd, but it's obvious he cares for you…he even said so in his note." Lita hated to see her friend depressed. How could someone make her hurt like that? He's beyond lucky to have in his life. She's supportive, hilarious, smart…beautiful.
The massage came to an end and Hailey sat up, tears in eye. "I don't think I can do this anymore, he's gotta really commit." She clenched the robe around herself, feeling insecure. " I know he 'doesn't want to rush anything for my sake', but I can't wait forever. The longer I wait to hear it, the less I believe it's coming… It's like he's hurting me with good intentions, you know?"
Lita got up and walked over to her best friends. She wiped a single tear from Hailey's eye and held her, "Yeah, I know the feeling…"
