Gabrielle was really nervous for her date tonight with John. Not only the fact that she was going on a date with John Cena but she didn't date a lot. She was meeting her sister Michelle for lunch. When she got to the restaurant Michelle was waiting for her. Gabrielle sat down at the table.
"Hi." Michelle said.
"Hi."
They ordered. They were talking.
"Whitney's getting married?" Michelle said.
"Really?"
"Yeah so out of everyone we know you're the only unmarried one." "I'm married, Faith's married, Brittney's married."
"Yeah I know you Faith and Brittney are married, I was made of honor at all of your weddings."
"Don't you ever want to get married and have kids?" "Look at how happy me, Faith and Brittney are."
"I've never really thought about marriage or kids." "If it happens, it happens." "If it doesn't I'm fine with it."
"I would just hate to see your great mothering skills go to waste." "You're great with my girls and Faith's girls and Brittney's girls."
"Being an aunt and being a mom are two different things."
"You shouldn't miss out on it."
"I don't feel I'm missing out." "The reason I don't think about marriage and kids isn't selfish." "I just want to make a comfortable life for myself."
"I'd say you've already made a comfortable life for yourself." "Out of the four of us, you make more then we do in a year."
"Yeah and I want to make sure I'm well set into the future."
"You should at least try and meet someone."
"I actually have a date tonight."
"A date?" She said shocked. "With a man?"
"No with an alien from outer space." She said sarcastically. "Yes with a man."
"Who?"
"You won't believe me but I swear on the lives of all of my nieces it's true." "John Cena."
"The wrestler?"
"Yeah."
"The guy you've been into since we were kids?"
"Yeah."
"Ok we've skipped a few steps." "How the hell did that happen?"
She told her the whole story. "We're meeting for dinner tonight at eight."
"Are you gonna sleep with him?"
She laughed. "Shell it's our first date."
"I know you want to."
She smiled. "Yeah but I'm not a cheap slut." "I may have to fight back the urge but nothing is going to happen."
"Are you nervous?"
"More nervous then I've ever been in my life."
"I'll bet."
Right at eight o' clock Gabrielle showed at the restaurant. She had on a red dress. She was shown to her table. John was already there.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi." She sat down. "Have you been waiting long?"
"About a minute." "You look wonderful."
"Thanks."
"How was work?"
"Busy." "How was filming?
"Good."
"I should be working right now actually." "I have to come up with a proposal for a new client next week." "I don't do this very often."
"Date?"
"Yeah." "I'm always working."
"I can relate." "I work a lot to." "Are you from San Francisco?"
"Born and raised." "My three sisters and I." "I'm the baby." "Michelle is three years older then me, Faith is two years older and Brittney is one year older."
"Boy your parents didn't waste any time."
"No they didn't."
"Are they still together?"
"Divorced." "It's been about ten years now." "They're both happily remarried." "The grandkids see no difference in grandparents."
"So you're an aunt?"
"My sisters each have three girls."
"Wow nine nieces."
"Yep." "The only thing that's annoying though is that since all of my sisters are married with kids, they think I should be to." "Not that I'm against it, I'm just way to focused on my career to think about any of those things." "I just want a good life and that requires money and to get money you have to work." "I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
"I agree."
After dinner John walked her to her car. They were standing there.
"That was fun." She said.
"I'm glad you had fun." "I did to." "Would you like to come hang out at my hotel tomorrow night?"
"Sure."
"Same time as tonight?"
"Yeah." He kissed her. She kissed him back. She smiled. "Ok, I need to leave before I ask you something I shouldn't."
"Like what?"
"Like, if you want to spend the night at my house, which I'm extremely tempted to do right now." "I don't think we should yet." "Not that I feel we should wait a long time either." "That's if you're even interested."
"I am interested." "I'm very interested." "I'll see you tomorrow night."
"Ok goodnight."
He gave her another little kiss. "Goodnight." She got in her car and left.
