Friends maybe more...

Authors note: this is my first attempt at a wrestling fic. I have liked the Maria/John Cena pair for awhile, and got an idea in my head the other day and decided to type it up. Sorry if it sucks. Please review, and tell me what ya think, and what you would like to happen if anything.

Disclaimer: I in no way own anything in this story other then the plot.

Chapter 1

Maria Kanellis sat in the womens locker room, not sure what to make of the events that had transpired tonight. Her lips were still burning from the passionate kiss she had shared with John Cena before their match against Edge and Lita. It had been like nothing she experienced before. He really was a good kisser.

After the kiss, she wasn't sure where they stood anymore. They had been friends for over six months now, and they had gradually became closer each time they spent together. Her feelings for the WWE Champ had been growing steadily over the last few months also, and tonight had just intensified them. She was too afraid to tell him though, not knowing if he'd reciprocate them or not.

She stripped out of her costume, and slowly pulled on her jeans, lost too deep in thought to notice the dark figure that snuck into the locker room. The figure watched her for a few minutes before placing a a single red rose and a note on the nearby couch, and as quickly as he came, he was gone. Maria's head shot up as she heard the soft click of the door shutting. Her head whipped around to the offending noise, and she clutched her shirt to her scantily clad chest. She breathed a sigh of relef when she saw no one standing there.

She caught the site of the rose on the couch out of the corner of her eye, and quickly finished putting her shirt on. She walked over to it, smiling slightly, she picked up the note and began to read it. Her smile quickly turned to a frown as she silently read the letter.

My Dearest Maria,

I have been watching you from afar for sometime now, and was very upset by what I saw tonight. What did that piece of trash 'thug' think he was doing when he kissed you? How dare he touch what is mine! That's right sweet cake, you belong to me, wether you like it or not.

Don't let me catch Cena touching you again, or you won't like the concequences. Consider this a warning. I'll be watching my love.

Until next time.

Maria started shaking as she read and reread the letter. Some psycho was stalking her, and she didn't have the slightest clue who. The letter fell from her hands as silent sobs wracked the young divas body. She rocked herself back and forth or several minutes, crying silently to herself. She jumped at the sound of someone outside banging on the door, wiping her eyes quickly, she picked up the letter and shoved it in her bag. "Just a minute," She yelled, as she grabbed her shoes and slipped them on. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail, and yelled, "come in."

Standing on the opposite side of the door however, was one of the last people she wanted to see right now. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? Cena's spoiled little princess bawling her wittle eyes out? Wassa matter wittle princess?" Lita taunted. "Did you break a nail?" She sneered.

"No...Listen, can we please not do this right now, I'm not in the mood for it." Maria said pushing past her to get out of the locker room, and heading for her car.

"Why not? What could possibly be wrong with you?" Lita grabbed her arm and turned her around.

"Everything, now just leave me alone!" She wretched her arm out of Lita's grasp, and took off at a dead run down the hallway, not stopping for anyone or anything. She only slowed down when she got to the door. Flinging the door open, she jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

She slowly turned around and came face to chest with the champ himself. He looked down at her oddly for a moment, but the look changed to one of concern when he took in her tear stained face.

"Babe, what's wrong?" he asked, brushing a stray hair out of her face.

"Nothing," she mumbled, chewing on her bottom lip and looking at the floor.

John gently lifted her chin, so his blue eyes were staring into her green ones. "Come on baby, you can tell me what's wrong. What are friends for after all?"

"It's...Lita...She's always bothering me, and now since our match with her and Edge, she has been a non-stop bother."

"Are you sure that's it? Cuz it looks like something more's bugging you."

"I'll be fine, I just need to get some fresh air, and clear my head. I'll see you later though. Thanks."

"Bye Ria."

Their exchange over, Maria finished walking the distance to her car. She opened the side door, flung her bag in, climbed in the drivers side door, and headed for the hotel for a long nights sleep.
