I just came back through the ramp after making my first official TNA appearance. It felt very good to be back out in front of a live crowd again.
"Hey, nice job out there." Petey Williams said to me.
"Thanks, you too." I said as I shook his hand and continued my way through the back.
"Good job out there Cena! I bet Vince is proud!" D-Von shouted to me from across the hallway.
"Thanks man!" I yelled back with a bit of a chuckle.
"It's great to see you here, we all really appreciate it." Monty Brown said as he came over to me and shook my hand.
"Thanks, I'm really looking forward to working with you in the future." I responded. It's great getting praise from all these people, but where the heck is Stacy? I thought for sure she'd be waiting here for me.
"Hey John, nice job out there." Jay said as he came over to me right as I reached my locker room.
"Thanks, hey, do you know where Stacy is?" I asked him. Of all people he would probably know, right?
"You'll find her man." He answered as a sly smile spread over his face. What the heck is going on here?
"Loser." I said as I turned to the door and began to open it. Jay chuckled and then walked off.
"Surprise!" Stacy said as I entered the locker room. The room was filled with balloons and there was a cake towards the back.
"What the heck is this for?" I asked her as I stood there dumbfounded. Balloons and a cake? It's certainly not my birthday, but balloons and cake, what's not to like about that!
"It's to celebrate your debut with TNA." She said as she came over to me and hugged me.
"You didn't need to do this." I responded as I looked down at the tall blonde. The tall sexy blonde. Wait a second, what the heck is going on with me?

It was a couple weeks after our trip from Orlando. John was just getting ready to head down there again for the PPV. It was getting too much of a hassle for me to go with him so I was just going to stay home.
"John, are you ready? You're gunna be late for your flight if you take much longer!" I called up to him as I plopped down on the couch, one of the only places that I could comfortably sit now.
"I just need to find my hat!" He answered. Him and his hats. He wears them all the time yet he can never seem to find them when he needs them.
"Did you check the kitchen counter?" I asked him. A minute later he came downstairs with his bag and went into the kitchen.
"Got it." He replied with a smile as he walked out of the kitchen with his hat on. "You sure you're going to be ok here all by yourself while I'm gone?"
"You're only going to be gone for three days. I think I can handle myself." I said as I crossed my arms and looked up at him with a smile.
"Well you know if you need anything you can call my parents, or Marc." He responded.
"Don't worry about it. You need to get going to so you can kick some ass." I said. It was gunna be really weird here without him. I honestly don't know what I am going to do.
"Alright, alright. I'm on my way." He said as he came over to me and leaned down to give me a hug. I looked at him and something was different. I saw something in him that I've never seen before. It was in his eyes.
"Is something wrong?" I asked him as I looked into his normally playful blue eyes.
"I don't want to leave. I'm gunna miss you too much." He responded with shocking sincerity. Does he really mean that? I could feel my heart begin to flutter.
"I'm gunna miss you too. But you have to get going, you don't want to get fired from this job." I said as I reached up and pulled him into another hug. He leaned down and kissed my forehead.
"I'll call you as soon as I land." He replied as he grabbed his bag and headed to the front door.
"Have a good time." I said before he left. I honestly can't remember someone making me feel like I was in high school again. Everything with him seemed so new and fresh. God... I'm falling for him.
