Ch. 7 For You I Will (Confidence)
After that night, all was pretty good between Ally and John, or so John thought. Ally started rooming with him instead of the Divas, but as the weeks drew she became a little distant. She would intentionally spend as much time out with whomever, rather then spend her time with John. John was trying to spend as much of his free time with her as possible. It came to a head the night before Royal Rumble. Ally came in late and John blew up.
"Where the hell have you been? I've been sitting here waiting for you. Did you get any of my messages?"
"I told you before I left that I didn't have my phone 'coz the battery was dead. I also told you that Ash and I were going to the late showing at the movies. So why are you yelling at me?"
"I'm yelling because you were inconsiderate."
"I'm inconsiderate? Are you kidding me? I'm a grown woman. I can come and go as I please and there ain't shit you can do about it."
John took a breath and looked at her. "What the hell is wrong here? I thought we were good."
"You thought we were good? John, we're not good. I hate to rain on your parade, but we're not good at all. We've been sleeping together for the past 3 weeks and to you it's just like nothing. I don't wanna sound possessive or anything like that, but I can't keep doing this. I need to know what's going on here. I need a commitment ofsort."
John looked at her. "I can't commit right now. You know that. I'm in the middle of this whole thing and I can't do it."
"You can't or you won't? I've seen a lot of wrestlers and their wives together. I'm not asking for marriage, but I am asking for you to be exclusive. If you can't give me that then I need to go back home."
John looked at Ally. He grabbed his hat and his sweatshirt and left. He needed to go for a walk. He walked four blocks to the closest bar. He walked inside and took a seat on the stool. The bartender was a young woman. She had a curvy body and a bright smile.
Wondering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.
"Sweetie, it looks like you can use a drink. I'm Cindy and the first drink is on the house. The rest are negotiable. So what can I get you?"
"Scotch on the rocks and more Scotch then rocks."
Cindy poured his drink and watched him chug it down. "Refill?"
John shook his head. "No, just a beer." She handed him a bottle and then went to tend to one of the other customers.The whole time she wastending to the other customer,Cindy made passes at John.John looked around and noticed a man with a guitar sitting on the stage. He was playing a song, so John listened.
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
As the guy played, John's mind kept filling with images of him and Ally. He drank some more beer and tried to drown out any thoughts of Ally, but the words of the guy's song were steady reminders.
Forgive me if I st-stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, I've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you
Johnpaid his tab and left a tip for the bartender then he walked back up to the hotel. He was halfway to the room when he thought he saw Ally walking out with her suitcases. So he ran down the hall and found he was right.
If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echoes in every room
I would
That's what I'd do,
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
To get through to you
Ally was trying to get her oversized duffle bag out of the room when John ran up. She tried to ignore him, but she couldn't. She didn't say anything as he pushed her bag back into the room and grabbed her hand. He led her over to the bed and sat down.
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
He kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry. I don't want you to go home. I want you to stay with me. I just needed a minute to get my head on straight."
Ally shook her head. "I hope you're better an' all, but I've got a plane to catch. I'm going home...tonight." She stood up to leave, but John grabbed her hand.
"You can't leave. I'm not ready for you to go."
Ally pulled her hand away. "Then give me a reason to stay." She waited for a response. When John didn't say anything, she sighed. "I didn't think you could." She grabbed her bag and was heading for the door, but John cut her off.
"I'm officially making you my girl. All exclusive. No sideshow attractions. It's just you, me, and baby. Now can ya please just sit down and we can relax. Maybe you coulddo that thing with your back?"
Ally straddled over John's lap, "Well, I guess we could give it a try." She pushed him down on the bed and turned off the lights.
