Secrets
Keira awoke the next morning to find John still asleep. When her eyes saw his chest rising and falling she smiled and remembered the night before.
She kissed his chest and rubbed his abdomen in hopes of waking him up. He stirred a little and then pulled her closer to him. After a few minutes his eyes finally opened.
"Hey," he said drowsily. "What are you doing up so early?"
"Couldn't sleep any longer," she said hugging his midsection.
"Come here," John said raising her up and kissing her strongly. "How are you feeling?"
"A little sore," she replied.
"I'll take that as a compliment," he said beaming.
"Go wash up," Keira said laughing and pushing him away.
"Okay," he said getting up and walking towards the door.
"Put some clothes on," Keira laughed.
"Well if you think that it's a good idea," he said getting dressed and then leaving the room.
˜˜˜
Trish opened her eyes and looked around the room. She didn't recognize anything. And this room was also way too bright. But soon the light faded and she was able to open her eyes.
"Well good afternoon Ms. Stratus," the doctor said.
"Hi," Trish agitatedly.
The two briefly spoke about what had happened in the past forty-eight hours and then the doctor asked a question that Trish wasn't expecting.
"Would you like to see the man that brought you here?" He asked.
"He's here?" Trish asked in a panicked voice.
"Yes, he's been here for just about fifteen hours now, asking the nurses if you were alright every ten minutes," the doctor said laughing.
Trish thought about her two options.
"I guess so," she replied.
The doctor called a nurse, said something to her, the nurse laughed and walked away. As the doctor and Trish waited in the room then doctor quickly read over her chart once more. Soon after there was a knock at the door. Trish's head snapped around. She couldn't believe who she saw.
˜˜˜
Keira and John ended up leaving close to noon because the owners insisted that they had a home cooked meal.
"Four hours left," John said as Keira was flipping through cds.
"Aww…I don't want this to end," Keira complained. "This was like the best road trip ever."
"I thought so as well," he said smiling.
"You just liked getting laid," Keira said choosing a cd.
"Not true," John said.
"I know," Keira said kissing his cheek. "But since we're on the home stretch…"
Keira turned the speakers as loud as she could, pumped up the bass and put the top down. She let out a squeal of joy, threw her arms up in the air and started singing to the music.
"There's my party girl!" John yelled to her.
˜˜˜
Trish starred in shock at the blond man who stood in the doorway.
"You?" Trish asked stunned.
"Who were you expecting?" Chris Jericho asked from the doorway.
"Not you," Trish said now puzzled.
"Why not me?" Chris asked sitting on the chair beside the bed.
"You're…you're just not the rescuing type," Trish replied.
˜˜˜
When Keira and John finally reached Salt Lake City Keira was still singing and entertaining John while he was driving.
"We're here," he said pulling into a hotel's parking lot.
"But I'm not done my rendition of Disco Inferno," Keira complained.
"Thank God for that much," John said laughing as he received a punch to the arm. "Oh the pain."
"Don't make fun of my punches," Keira said.
"Is that your mad face?" John asked as he shut the car off.
"Yes," Keira replied sharply sitting in the car with her arms crossed in front of her chest and her bottom lip sticking out.
John got out of the car, walked around to her side and opened the door. She didn't move so John leaned across her and unfastened her seatbelt. Then he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.
Keira screamed and then burst into fits of giggles. He put her down and then kissed her.
"Go check in," John said and gave her a little shove.
"But I don't wanna…" Keira complained the entire way to the entrance.
After Keira had checked in she began to walk away but then stopped. She turned around and looked at the person behind the desk.
"Did Trish Stratus check in yet?" Keira asked.
The woman looked on her computer and shook her head.
"No, she did not."
"Alright, thanks," Keira replied and tapped the desk a few times trying to clear her head. Then she walked away.
˜˜˜
"What do you mean, not the rescuing type?" Chris asked.
"I don't know," Trish said looking at him. "But thank you."
"Don' t thank me," Chris said leaning back in the chair. "How are you feeling?"
"Better now that I've got an IV," Trish joked.
"I meant emotionally," he responded.
"Been better," Trish nodded. "But I'll get through it."
"I know you will," he said smiling. "You were always a strong one."
"How did you know?" Trish asked as she wiped tears away from her eyes.
"I saw him going into your room once, and I got jealous," he admitted. "So I was thinking about disturbing the two of you. But then I decided against it. I was walking away when I heard you scream and then I heard a number of other things and I was worried about you."
"I can't thank you enough," Trish said trying to smile. She stopped when he cracked lip reopened. She grabbed it and moaned.
"It's okay," Chris said sitting down on the bed beside her and wrapping his arms around her.
Trish buried her head in his chest and cried. He tightened his hold on her just enough for her to feel secure and then he kissed the top of her head.
"No one's gonna hurt you ever again," Chris said running his fingers through her hair. "I'll make sure of it."
Trish cried as hard as she could for close to ten minutes before she regained her composure.
"Sorry," she said still breathing deeply. "I'm acting like a baby."
"What?" Chris asked. "I don't think that you could be doing any better."
"Oh yeah, and crying is going to make everything better," Trish said wiping her eyes with the tissue that Chris gave her.
"If it makes you feel any better I kicked the shit out of the guy that did this to you," Chris said to her. "They took him to a different hospital though. Apparently I broke four of his ribs."
Trish tried to smile.
"And do you know why?" Chris asked.
"No, why?"
"Because I saw how much you were suffering, and it hurt me," Chris said taking her hand. "That's how much power you have over me."
"What if he sues you? Or you're charged with assault?" Trish asked.
"He won't do it," Chris replied shaking his head. "Because then he would have to admit what he did to you and incriminate himself."
"Did he 'do' anything?" Trish asked
"No, I don't think so," Chris said and kissed her hand. "But you're in good hands now."
"Oh God," Trish said. "I have to be in Salt Lake tonight."
"Don't worry, I called Vince for you and he gave you two weeks off," Chris said.
"Chris," Trish said looking down.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Please don't tell anyone about this," Trish said.
"I won't," Chris answered.
"Not even John and Keira," Trish said firmly.
˜˜˜
"What do you mean she hasn't checked in yet?" Keira asked the receptionist. "She was supposed to be here three hours ago."
"Well I'm not lying to you ma'am," the receptionist said trying to remain calm.
"God…" Keira whined.
She pulled her cell out and called Trish. There was no answer yet again. So she got into the elevator, got up to her floor and tried another time. When she looked up she saw Randy.
"Hey," he said casually and walked past her.
"Randy," Keira said turning around. "Have you seen Trish?"
"Not lately, no," he said. "What's wrong?"
"I haven't been able to get a hold of her for three days now," Keira said looking down at the phone. "And she hasn't checked in yet."
"She'll probably be here in a while," Randy said.
"Hope so," Keira replied.
Then there was an awkward silence.
"Pretty cold out there," Keira said after a while.
"Yeah," Randy replied. "It'll probably start snowing in the next couple days."
"Probably," Keira said. "I guess I'll see you around."
"See ya," Randy said and they both turned around and walked in their own directions.
˜˜˜
Chris sat in the hard hospital chair as Trish slept. He hadn't left her side in almost three hours now. He was exhausted and was in desperate need of sleep. Every time Trish moved in the slightest he jumped to make sure she was alright. Then she opened her eyes to notice that his were closed. He was sleeping upright in the hard chair. She smiled and closed her eyes.
˜˜˜
Keira stood on the balcony and looked at the people that were walking by underneath.
"What's up?" John asked coming up behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck.
"She's still not here," Keira said.
"I wouldn't worry about her," John said pulling her closer to himself. "She's a big girl."
"I'm gonna go and talk to Vince," Keira said shrugging John off.
She left the room quickly with John wondering what had just happened.
˜˜˜
Keira walked down the hallway and knocked on Vince's door.
Stacy opened the door and walked out. Then Vince came to the door.
"How may I help you Ms. Langdon?" Vince asked with a sick smile on his face.
"Do you know where Trish is?" Keira asked disgusted.
"Yes."
"Can you tell me?"
"Nope," Vince answered.
"Why not?" Keira asked frustrated.
"Because she didn't tell me to tell you," Vince replied. "I am not allowed to disclose information such as that without permission."
"Oh c'mon," Keira said. "Why wouldn't she want me to know?"
"Why don't you know?" Vince asked.
Keira let out a tiny scream and slammed her foot on the floor.
"Screw you!" She yelled and stormed off.
"Too late," Vince said smiling and going back into his own room.
˜˜˜
Trish opened her eyes to see that Chris was now awake as well.
"You're looking better this morning," Chris said to her.
"Oh yeah, I'm sure I'm looking lovely," she said smiling.
"Are you hungry?" He asked.
"Actually I am," she said pleased.
"That's good," the nurse said coming in with a tray. She turned to Chris. "Would you like anything hun?"
Chris laughed. "No it's okay," he said.
"That's nonsense," Trish said. "He'll have something whether he likes it or not."
The nurse laughed. "Alright, I'll be back in a few minutes, I have a few other rooms to serve first."
"No rush," Chris replied.
When the nurse left Chris had a look of excitement on his face.
"What?" Trish asked while she was eating.
"The doctor said that you can check out in a few hours," he said.
"Really?" Trish asked happily.
"Yeah," Chris confirmed.
Then her face dropped.
"What?" He asked concerned.
"I don't wanna be alone," Trish answered.
"You don't have to be," Chris said. "I'll stay with you."
"You can't, you have a career to think about," Trish said.
"No, I'm on vacation for the next two weeks," Chris said. "I've had these two weeks off for months now."
A smile started to form on Trish's face. "But I'm sure that the last thing that you want to happen is having to baby-sit for your entire vacation."
"Trish, you are the last person who would let any person baby-sit them," Chris said laughing. "We'll just hang out for a few days, have some fun."
"Have fun with your ex?" Trish asked.
"Quit fighting with me," Chris said laughing. "I'm gonna go to the hotel for a few minutes, get both of our stuff, come back here, get you ready, and then we'll catch a flight to Winnipeg."
"You're finally letting me see your house?" Trish asked.
"Yes Stratus," Chris said rolling his eyes. "I'll be back in about half an hour." Then, without thinking, he leaned over the bed and kissed her forehead. "I'll be back as soon as I can."
˜˜˜
Trish finished getting dressed and walked out of the bathroom.
"That feels so much better," she said.
"You look a lot better," Chris said. "There's a lot more color in your face."
"Thanks," Trish said holding her side. Then her cell phone in her purse started to ring. The quickly rummaged through her purse and found it. "Hello?"
"Well finally!" Keira screamed. "Where the hell are you!"
"Hey…" Trish said nervously. "What's up?"
"What's up? What's up!" Keira asked laughing. "You've had me worried sick! I've been calling you for three straight days and you haven't answered, you haven't phoned me back and now apparently you call Vince to tell him where you are and you totally forget about us! What's going on?"
"I'm so sorry," Trish replied. "I just got really busy."
"So where the hell are you?" Keira asked.
"On my way to Winnipeg," Trish said cringing.
"Winnipeg?" Keira asked laughing. "Why the hell are you going to Winnipeg?"
"I saw the doctor after you guys left and he said that I had three bruised ribs and that I should stay out of the ring for two weeks," Trish said and looked at Chris who winked at her.
"So why are you going to Winnipeg?" Keira asked confused.
"I just wanna go to a city where I'm not gonna know anybody," Trish lied.
Keira was silent on the other end of the phone.
"I'll see you in a couple weeks then?" Trish asked disconsolately.
"Whatever," Keira said and hung up.
"Great," Trish said dropping her phone onto the bed. "Now my best friend hates me."
"She'll get over it," Chris said trying to reassure her.
"Hopefully," Trish said. "She's really good at giving people the guilt trip."
˜˜˜
Keira walked back into the hotel room to find John laying on the bed watching TV.
"Find out where she is?" He asked and then he saw her face. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," she said laying down beside him and kissing him forcefully.
They continued to kiss and John's hands made their way down her sides and onto her hips. He pulled her roughly against his waist. She nodded as she felt him get hard. She pulled his shirt over his head while he kissed her neck. She threw her head back while he continued to pleasure her. Then she threw him back against the bed and kissed a trail from his neck down to his abdomen. She unbuttoned his pants and he quickly kicked them off. To him the pleasure that she gave to him seemed to be only seconds but he knew that it was longer. She pulled her dress over her head and let him finish undressing her. The task took him mere seconds and before she knew it he was inside of her. She kissed him passionately while he worked and when he became exhausted he fell on top of her. She kissed his ear and then made her way to his mouth.
"That was great baby," Keira said still breathing deeply.
When he found the strength he pushed himself off of the bed and rolled by her side.
"Why didn't we start doing that sooner?" He asked her.
She let out a laugh and then snuggled closer to him.
"I love you," she said to him.
"Love you too," he said and kissed her strongly.
She started kissing his neck again but let her eyes wander around the room.
"Oh shit," Keira said jumping up. "We're almost half an hour late!"
"What?" John asked turning around to look at the clock.
It read six o'clock.
"Shit, shit, shit," Keira said quickly getting dressed.
John laughed as he got dressed. "Don't worry about it," he said. "I don't think that we're going to be fired if we show up late once because we were going at it."
"God!" Keira screamed. "Where's my bra?"
John was almost hysterical. "In the corner," he said pointing and then holding his stomach.
"Shut up!" Keira yelled as she finished getting dressed.
"Ready?" He asked as she finished her hair.
"I still have to put my make up on," Keira said running into the bathroom.
"Do it in the car," John said grabbing her arm and pulling her out the door with her make-up kit and purse.
˜˜˜
When they made it to the arena they snuck past Vince's office and into John's locker room.
"Go have a fast shower," he said almost shoving her into the other part of the dressing room. "And do it quietly."
"Okay," she hissed and then quickly got undressed. As a joke she threw her bra at him.
Then the locker room door opened and Vince stepped in.
"Cena, just the person I wanted to see," Vince said. "Where's your little girlfriend?"
"Haven't seen her," John said as Vince turned around.
John quickly kicked Keira's bra under the bench and out of Vince's sight. He turned slightly to see if he could see her.
"You know I could've swore that I heard her voice just before I came in here," Vince said sitting down on the bench.
"Yeah, I had her on speakerphone while I was getting ready," John said turning his attention back to his boss. "Do you want anything in particular or did you just want to talk to her?"
"I just wanted to speak to her for a while," Vince said standing up. "But since she's not here I might as well talk to you now instead of later."
"Alright," John said beginning to relax.
"You have a match tonight against JBL," Vince announced. "I have no idea why but he said that Keira would be willing to explain."
"I'll be sure to talk to her about that," John said. "When is it?"
"Main event," Vince said as he opened the door.
"Then I'd better finish getting ready," John said and then Vince closed the door.
"Well that was an interesting conversation, especially when you're listening to it and your naked," Keira said from behind the wall. "Could ya pass me a towel? It's a little cold in here."
John quickly threw her a towel and then sat on the bench.
"So you wanna tell me about what this whole thing is with JBL?" John asked her as she was getting dressed.
"I bumped into him, we had a little tête-à-tête, I made a few mean comments and then pushed past him," Keira said and started working on her hair.
"What kind of mean comments Keira?" John asked holding his head in his hands.
"From what I can remember they were about his weight," Keira said timidly.
"Great," John said rolling his eyes. "You coming tonight?"
"Of course," she said sitting down beside him. "Still love me?"
"Unfortunately," he said putting his head on her shoulder. "Did you find anything out about Trish?"
"Yeah, apparently she saw a doctor after we left and he said that she was unfit to compete so she wanted to get away. The part that confuses me is that she chose Winnipeg," Keira said still baffled.
"Her choice I guess. Turn on the monitor and watch what happens while I read ready," he said getting up and turning the showers on.
Keira did what she was told and watched the ending of Chris Benoit and Kane. Kane won because, well because of the obvious, that dude could beat the shit outta anyone. She was surprised when she heard Randy's music come on next and he came out, in street clothes, with Stacy's hand in his.
Randy took the mic from the ring announcer and then smiled at Stacy.
"Lately some things that have been going on around here have completely baffled me," Randy said looking around in the audience. "Like Trish's attack last week on the beautiful Stacy." Stacy smiled. "However, I went home, watched the tapes of everything going on back stage and I was, how should I put it, outright appalled." Now Stacy had no idea whatsoever as to what was going on. "Maybe, just so everyone understands, we should show them some footage, everything take a look."
Everyone looked up at the huge screen. The first clip was of Stacy with Vince. The second clip was of Stacy and Dave Batista. Then the third clip was of Stacy with Eddie Guerrero.
When the camera returned to Randy and Stacy Randy had a cruel look on his face.
"Calm down," Stacy said with tears in her eyes as she backed up. "You weren't supposed to…"
"Well obviously I wasn't supposed to have seen that," Randy said maliciously. "And, at this point in time, I don't even want to hear an excuse."
Stacy was in shock. When Randy was turning around Stacy grabbed his arm and tried to turn him around, instead, she received an RKO in the middle of the ring.
"Holy shit John!" Keira yelled from her position on the couch.
"What?" He asked from the other room.
"Randy just RKO'ed Stacy!" Keira yelled laughing.
"What?" John asked as he watched the replay.
"It appears that Stacy wasn't only satisfying Vince but most of the locker room," Keira said.
"Well she got what she deserved," John said now fully dressed. "C'mon, we're next."
˜˜˜
Keira started walking to the ring with John, but someone needed to talk to him so Keira continued to walk to the ring but stopped when she saw Randy.
"You alright?" Keira asked sympathetically.
"Better now," he said.
"Sorry about that," Keira said turning around. "Are you coming?"
"One sec!" John yelled back to her.
"See you around," Randy said and walked away.
John came up beside Keira. "Let's get this over with," he said as his music started.
The crowd went wild the whole time they walked to the ring. John helped Keira up the stairs, got into the ring, held the ropes open for her, and then she helped the crowd go into even more of a frenzy by taking John's shirt and throwing it into the crowd.
When John's music ended Keira went up to him. "You ready?"
"Hell yeah," John said.
JBL's music came on and he made his usual entrance with his limo but Keira was shocked when Orlando Jordan came out of the limo with JBL.
"Did you know about this?" Keira asked John.
"Not in the slightest," he said as JBL and Orlando Jordan made their way into the ring.
After JBL and Orlando Jordan finished their entry John held the ropes open for Keira and she made her exit and Orlando Jordan stood on the opposite side of the ring.
Keira looked around and the crowd had settled significantly so she threw her fist up in the air and started shouting 'Cena'. Soon most of the crowd was behind her and carrying the chant on on their own. She turned back to the ring just as the match began.
They were closely matched at the beginning, but thanks to Orlando's help on the outside, JBL had gained the unfair advantage and was taking control.
"C'mon ref!" Keira shouted.
"Cool it or you're outta here!" The ref shouted at her.
"God!" Keira screamed slamming her open hand against the mat.
After a good fifteen minutes JBL was starting to get frustrated when he couldn't pin John so he deliberately knocked the ref out of the ring and then Orlando Jordan received his cue. He climbed into the ring and began to help JBL. Keira had seen enough. She quickly entered the ring and hit the Running Enzuigiri on Orlando Jordan, knocking him to the mat. When she turned around she ran into JBL. Her eyes went wide and she started to panic. But John quickly spun JBL around and picked him up for the FU. Keira dropped down and rolled out of the ring. She helped the referee up and slid him into the ring. She was happy that it was only Brian Hebner. John hit the FU and pinned JBL, 1, 2, 3.
Keira jumped up in joy and high fived with someone in the audience. John rolled out of the ring and Keira walked to his side. He put his arm around her shoulders for support.
"That was awesome!" Keira said as they walked up the ramp.
John stopped at the top of the ramp, Keira left his side, and he celebrated with the fans.
"Cena!" JBL yelled into the mic from the ring. "I'm gonna make you wish that that whore was never by your side!"
John shrugged and then raised his fists high over his head with Keira pointing at him and nodding.
˜˜˜
"So tired…" Keira said as they reached his locker room.
"Lie down on the couch for a while then," John said. "I'm gonna have a fast shower, talk to a couple people, see Vince and then I have to…"
When John looked at her she was already fast asleep. He knelt down beside her, kissed her cheek and then left to have his shower.
As soon as John finished his shower he put his a jacket over her and quietly left the room so he didn't wake her.
JBL was just around the corner and watched John leave without Keira. So he snuck into the locker room and saw her sleeping the couch. Then a sick and sadistic smile appeared on his face.
He kneeled down on the floor and began to stroke Keira's arm.
"Hi John," Keira said almost as a sigh.
"Hi," JBL replied just as quietly.
He wasn't completely lying. His name was John too. Her was her fault that she didn't specify.
"Is it time to leave?" She asked, still half asleep.
"No, not yet," JBL answered in a whisper.
"Okay," she said rolling over onto her other side.
"Wanna have sex?"
"What?" She asked turning around.
She went was taken aback when she realized that it wasn't her John. JBL still had the same sick smile on his face as he watched her shake and try to move away only to find the wall. It was his turn to be surprised when she let out several earsplitting screams without warning.
Within seconds John was in the room and was enraged when he saw who was the reason for Keira's screams.
˜˜˜
