Chapter 5

While Lita hurried to put on her make-up she heard a knock at her hotel door. Oh damn, she thought to herself, how the hell did John get there so fast?

Lita was on all jets now. Her heart was racing faster than she expected it to be. It's not like this is the first time she'd ever been around John, but then again, this was the first time it would be just the two of them, alone, together. The thought practically scared the hell out of her. Rummaging through her bag she found a small bottle of her favorite perfume and spayed the tiniest amount on her neck. She didn't want to make it too obvious that she was trying to impress John. Lita wanted him to see that she was more than just a WWE diva. She was all lady and willing to be his if he wanted.

As Lita hurried to the door she looked through the peep hole. Being a somewhat famous television personality you just could not be too careful these days. As her eyes scanned as far as they could she was surprised to see that no one was standing there. Lita decided to crack the door open hoping that maybe John was somewhere off to the side and she just couldn't see him. Looking to the left and then to the right, the hallway was completely empty, but just as Lita was about to close the door she noticed a box tied with a ribbon laying on the ground. Again, she scanned the hallway and then picked up the box before going back inside to her room.

Could John have possibly sent her flowers? Lita laughed to herself as the thought escaped briefly into her mind. There's no way John would have possibly done something like this, not for just a lunch date. Lita checked the box for a card but nothing. When she opened the box she noticed again a dozen red roses and sandwiched in the middle was one white rose. Her mind immediately traced back to one name...Matt. Lita for the life of her couldn't help but to think that if it truly was Matt leaving her the flowers why he just didn't call her and tell her how much he wanted her back? There was no question Matt was somewhat of a romantic, but this is getting ridiculous. Maybe Lita would just have to call him herself. But then again, if it wasn't Matt, she'd end up looking really stupid and that was something that Lita rarely did.

"How sweet, someone loves you."

Lita looked up startled out of her mind and cursing herself for leaving the door open.

"Shane, ever hear of knocking?" Lita said angrily as Shane stood before her with a smirk on his face.

"Ever hear of closing the door?" Shane replied back to her.

"Listen I'm here on my off work hours, I can do whatever the hell I want. Just because I work for the company your father built doesn't mean you have the right to just pop in any time you feel like it, so whatever it is you want just say it and leave." Lita paused for a moment and then continued. "And this better be work related." She finished.

Lita found it odd that Shane was there standing inside her room, but what was even odder was the fact that he some how thought it would be okay for him to show up during her off hours without ever mentioning beforehand that he needed to speak with her. She hated the fact the Shane thought he could do whatever he wanted simply because of his last name.

Shane laughed at Lita's last statement.

"What makes you think it would be anything other than work related Lita? Wishful thinking on your part." Shane said as his eyes wondered all over her body.

He couldn't help but to notice how she was dressed and that she was in full makeup, and it wasn't even noon yet. It was obvious she was getting ready to go out somewhere with someone she was interested in. Shane also couldn't help but to notice the perfume she wore. Without thinking he moved in closer to her to take in the aroma. Lita immediately backed away.

"Shane, if you were the last man on earth I still wouldn't be interested in you. Now do you mind just telling me what you're here for so I can get on with my day without being harassed. There is such a thing called sexual harassment and you're getting awfully close to it." Lita warned. She knew that she would never be able to battle a McMahon in court without losing her job and her reputation, but she hoped that Shane would at least get the hint.

"Don't worry honey, you're not exactly my type. Why would I waste my time with Matt, Edge and god knows who else's leftovers when I can easily be fucking any diva or ring rat I want?" Shane replied.

He didn't appreciate the insinuation Lita was making at all. Sure he couldn't help but to notice Lita's tightly fitted clothes, especially in the chest area, but he was a guy. He at least had the right to check her out. At least that's the way Shane felt about it and most women for that matter.

"How do you live with yourself Shane?" Lita asked point blankly.

Shane replied with a crooked McMahon smirk.

"You really need to mind who you're talking to Lita. It's a known fact that you like to whore yourself out, which is why I'm here." Shane said hoping to get under her skin with his harsh words.

Just as Shane was about to continue John Cena arrived surprised as hell to see Shane McMahon inside Lita's room.

"Lita, everything okay?" John asked with one eye firmly kept on the younger McMahon.

"Everything's just fine John. Shane was just about to tell me why he decided to interrupt a perfectly good off day by barging into my room."

John raised an eyebrow at the mention of the word "barge". For as much as he disliked Shane before, especially for all the crap he and Hunter have been putting him through in the ring, he hated him even more now. Shane had no right to be there regardless of what it is he had to say.

"John, surprised to see you here, but I'm glad you are. I can kill two birds with one stone." Shane said addressing both Lita and John now. He then continued. "I don't know what it is you two have going on with each other but we have rules in the WWE. Wrestlers are not aloud to date other wrestlers. It's a distraction backstage and in the ring so I suggest the both of you forget what it is you've got started here before you are both are suspended. Kapish?" Shane asked.

John and Lita looked at each other hardly believing what they were hearing. It was obvious Shane was still pissed from the other night and this is how he decided to deal with it. For him to be preaching about backstage affairs was a joke in both their minds. His sister was married to a wrestler, Shane himself had been rumored to have slept with several of the other divas. He was looking for a way to suspend them to make a point and this is the way he decided to do it.

"Okay boss." John said sarcastically as he started to stare Shane down.

You could tell by the look on John's face that at any second he was about to go off on Shane, but he knew better. He refused to make it that easy for Shane to get what he wanted. He hoped only that Shane would be stupid enough to book him in another match against himself and the million dollar prick, and regardless of who Shane would have there to help him along, John would make sure Shane got what he deserved.

Shane winked at Lita and smiled toward John. He loved when things went his way and right now he believed that his point had been made. In reality, he could care less who John was screwing around with, but the more he could make John look like an ass to Lita, to Stephanie to his father, to the fans and to everyone else in the WWE, the more he enjoyed being a McMahon.

"I'm glad we all have an understanding now." Shane said and then looked directly at Lita. "Sorry you'll never get the real man I know you've always wanted." He said implying that Lita actually wanted to sleep with him and not John.

Lita smiled to herself.

"Sorry you'll never be a real man Shane." She said sharply as John smirked at the remark. He was loving every second of it.

Shane's eyebrows furled. As far as he was concerned Lita was nothing more than a bitch who deserved a hard slap across the face. But instead of succumbing to his temptation Shane turned and walked away without another word.

"What was that all about? He didn't try anything on you did he?" John asked.

Lita shrugged her shoulders.

"Thankfully no. If he did he'd be walking funny for a while." Lita replied. John smiled back. He loved her spirit and was glad to see Shane hadn't broken it.

Before leaving for lunch John couldn't help but notice the flowers in Lita's hands.

"You going to bring those with you?" He asked.

Lita had almost forgotten she was actually holding a box of flowers.

"No. I have no idea who left them. Maybe they just got the wrong room or something. There's no card or anything. It's probably best if I just throw them away." Lita replied.

John could tell she was embarrassed by the whole thing and decided not to probe her about it any further. Looked to him like someone had a little crush on Lita. That was the second time in a few weeks someone had sent her flowers. Whoever it was definitely had good taste he thought to himself.

Lita went back into the room and set the flowers next to the TV. Right now she was anxious to get out of there and enjoy her time with John. Even though Shane had managed to put a damper on things, she refused to let that little run in ruin the whole day.

"Shall we?" John asked as he held out his arm the Lita all gentleman like.

Lita smiled and delicately took his arm. She began to tingle from head to toe just from this simple gesture. As for John, he was all cool on the outside, but on the inside he was thinking of his every move. Lita was his baby for the next few hours and he wanted to make the most of it. On the other hand he couldn't help but to wonder with Shane just leaving Lita's room and Lita standing before him with flowers in her hand, just exactly what it was he was getting himself into?
