Chapter 36

Dave had gotten rid of of Melina just seconds before a knock came from the door. He sighed to himself as he grabbed the handle and opened it. Kitten was staring at her boots before she looked and locked her eyes with him. "Hey" she whispered.

"Hey" he said in the same whisper. She gave him a smile as he came down and took her bag on the floor. He never broke eye contact with her, which made his own smile grow.

"Wanna let me in? Or are we just gunna have this staring contest?"

"Oh… uh come on in" he said softly. He moved out of the way so she could walk in. The hotel room looked like it hadn't been touched at all. As Kitten walked in, she took her jacket off and threw it onto a chair near by. She sat down onto the corner of the bed and faced Dave. She smiled as he came in and set her bag on the same chair her jacket was on. Kitten stared at him with the same smile on her face.

Dave was wearing a simple track pants and black tank top. His hair was wet which she figured out was from a shower. She then noticed Dave was looking her over. She she laughed lightly and said, "Something wrong?"

"No I was just taking you in. That's all"

"You've seen me before Dave"

"Not like this I haven't"

Kitten looked down at her self before answering. "Dave, I'm just wearing boots, jeans and a tank top."

"More cloth, less skin… kinda makes a man wonder" Dave said in soft whisper. He took his tank top off before coming over and sitting in front of her on the floor. Kitten couldn't help but smile and raise an eyebrow at him. Her smile widened when Dave began to take her boots off. Her laughed causing him to look up at her. "What's so funny?"

"Something's up. I don't know what it is, but I like it." she giggled.

"Yeah? Me too…" he growled. Before Kitten knew it, she was on the bed, lying on her back, with a very aggressive Batista on her. "Too bad these cloths are so trouble some."

"Okay, now I know somethings gotten into you."

"A guy can't have a little fun with his girl? Especially since he hasn't seen her in Got knows how many months?"

"I heard Melina in the background…" she responded.

"She was here"

"And?"

"Nothing you need to worry your self with. Melina wanted to… you know"

"That little whore." Kitten growled. "Where you tempted."

"No, I wasn't. I screwed up before with you… and I caused a lot of damage. I wasn't about to go down that road again, Kit."

"I know Dave. I just had to ask." Kitten sighed. Dave gave her a kiss just as rapid hard knocks came from the other side of the hotel door. Dave growled before he got up and headed to the door. Kitten soon followed and reached him just as he opened it. "What do you want Melina? I told you to leave me alone."

"We need to talk--" She replied as she walked past him and into the room. She stopped when she saw Kitten staring a hole in her head with her arms crossed. "So talk" she said.

"What are you doing here?"

"Dave's got a little vacation and asked me to come down. What's your excuse?"

"I… I wanted to talk to him."

"Bullshit. Dave told me that you came before and you've been after him backstage… tell me what you want to talked to him about and I'll decided if it's worth his time of not."

"It doesn't concern you." she sneered. "So why don't you go back to Cena"

"John and I are just friends… everyone knows that."

"Do they now? That's not what some of the girls say."

"what do you broads know?"

"More that you hun." Melina said as she sat down on a chair. The tension in the room got real thick and Dave stood between the two just in case. "Cena has a thing for you. Everyone knows that too."

"So? Its not my fault how John feels."

"Wait you knew about that?"

"Duh, Dave I can tell usually when a man likes me"

"You never told me."

"Why should I?"

"Because I thought you were my girl"

"I am. But that doesn't mean I have to tell you everything."

"You should though"

"Why? Its Cena who feels that way not me"

"Well how do you feel about it."

"Me? Well I don't know. I just have to watch him I guess."

"Watch him? Has he made a move?"

"No, Dave you're getting paranoid again."

"Oh am I now?" he replied in a low voice. Kitten recognized that tone and immediately stepped back. Dave smiled as he realized she knew he was serious. "I don't want you hanging with him anymore."

"You can't do that, Dave. John's my best friend."

"So was I and look where that got us."

"Well before I was single, now I'm not and--"

"That's just it. Kitten you're not single anymore."

"I am going to say thing for the last time, John and I are just friends. Nothing more, nothing less."

"I'll see about that."

"Dave.."

"No! I watch Raw Kit, I know what goes on."

"then you know, John needs help with Edge and Lita."

"He lost the title."

"Yeah, and he needs my help." Kitten said softly. She then heard a laugh from behind her and instantly had forgot that Melina was there. "We'll talk about this later."

"No we'll talk now."

"Get rid of her first."

"What if she needs my help?" Dave mocked.

"Fine then help her then." Kitten replied. She got her things before coming back to Dave. "I'm going back to Raw."

"Be my guest. And tell Cena that he can have you."

"…" Kitten didn't know what to say. So she didn't say anything...well she wasn't going to, but her mouth had its own mouth. "For some bizarre reason I knew this would happen. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and hoped to God that you wouldn't do this to me. That you really weren't like that but boy was I wrong. If its a choice between you and John, I'm choosing him. At least he's there when I nee him to be." she said softly. Dave's anger immediately disappeared. His rationality was coming back to him but it was too late. She was gone. Melina who was watching the whole ordeal sighed and stood up. She put her hand on his back before she said, "Well that went well. Serves her right--Ah" Dave had grabbed her arm and threw her out before he slammed the door in her face.

Outside Kitten was waited in the lobby for about half an hour before she finally gave up. She walked outside and signaled for a taxi. She rode it to the airport and got onto the next flight back. Two hours later, she was back on the ground and headed towards her own hotel. Just as she was heading up to her hotel room, the doors slid back open of the elevator before John Cena himself came walking in. "Didn't I just drop you off what five hours ago?"

"Yeah I came back."

"Something came up?"

"You could say that." John looked at her closely to see that she was definitely distracted. "Alright babe, what happened?"

"Dave broke up with me…"

"What? Why?"

"Apparently you liking me was all he needed."

"… Who told you I liked you?"

"You just did"

"I mean before that."

"Again you did. Not with words, but with actions."

"Huh… that obvious? Wait how'd he find out about all that…. No wait lemme guess.. Melina?"

"That little whore!" Kitten yelled. The doors flew open as they landed on Kitten's floor and she walked out. John followed her quickly afraid she would go on a rampage. "She was the one who started it."

"She just had to say something."

"Yup, that's her. She said she wanted to talk to him." Kitten growled as she opened her room up. John came in a closed the door behind him before he join Kitten on the bed where she was sitting. "I thought we were really made for each other." she said softly. She wasn't talking to John but more to herself. John put an arm around her which caused all the emotions she had been holding in to flood out. She began to let the tears fall silently. John then moved her towards him so that she rested her head down onto his chest. He didn't ask anything. He just let what ever that was bothering her out.

Kitten had stopped about a minute later as she realized what was going on. "Sorry, I don't know what just happened and it will definitely not happen again."

"No its okay. I know you're going through a tough time and keeping your emotions away won't help you." John replied as she rubbed a small spot on her back.

"You're really enjoying this, aren't you?"

"No… why would you say that?"

"No reason."

"Look, I do like you, but you just got out of a relationship that has many level I wont understand. So, that being said. You're still off limits." John smiled. That earned a soft laugh from her. She stood up and stretched before turning around and smiling. "I'm not going to sit here and sulk. If Dave and I are done, then we're done. Let's get out of here."

"Whoa did you just forget everything I just said."

"I know what you said and I heard it. I just don't want to be here sulking the whole time."

"Oh, okay? Well what did you have in mind."

"Well we'll go work out… hows that?" Kitten said as she walked to her bag and got out her gear. She walked to the bathroom and began to change. Cena who was still sitting on the bed was dumbfounded. Kitten returned in her sports bra and track pants. She came over with her shoes and sat down next to him again. "Aren't you gunna get ready?"

"Oh yeah sure." Cena said. "I'll see you in the lobby then yea?"

"Sounds good." Kitten said as she went to her bag again. Cena left which made the room feel a little less warm. She sighed and grabbed her keys, work out bag, and her phone. She checked to see if she had missed any calls. She had missed about thirty one calls. All from Dave. "No surprise" Kitten then did something she knew she shouldn't have. She called him back.

"Kitten!"

"What Dave? Why'd you call me?"

"I wanted to apologize"

"That time is long gone. We're through. You said it you're self."

"I was angry."

"So? It's your fault you got angry… again"

"I just don't like the fact that you and Cena are so close."

"Deal with it. In fact, he and I are gunna do some bonding now." and with that, she shut her phone closed and turned it off. She then took a shaky deep breath before heading down to the lobby. Right now she didn't want to deal with anything other than her anger. When she reached down to the lobby, Cena was wearing his shorts and a muscle tee. When he saw her approaching him, he shook his head at her. "You called him didn't you?"

"I don't want to talk about it. Let's just hit the gym." she replied as she pinched the bridge of her nose. Cena laughed as he shrugged and followed her to the hotel gym. Once inside, Kitten went straight to the treadmill. She began to jog then run, then sprint. Cena put down his weights when he realized that she had been sprinting for over twenty minutes. He ran over to her and slowed the machine down. "Whoa whoa, what are you crazy? You need to take it slow, Kit"

"I hadn't… noticed." she said as she came to a complete stop. She then leaned onto the machine with both hands before she tried to catch her breath. In all honesty she was tired, and John had figured that out. He gave her her water bottle before coming around and helping her off the machine. "Come on, let's get you back."

"I wanna lift some before I go back." she said as she tried to go towards the weight rack.

"Oh no you don't." John said as she lifted her up into his arms. "You are going back to your room and getting some rest. You've been through a lot. Both emotionally and physically." John said. The whole time John had gotten her to the room and onto the bed, Kitten had argued the whole way. Yet she made no movement to try and get out of his hold. When he laid her down onto the bed, he smiled and brushed some of her hair out of her face. "You just rest. I'll come and check on you in the morning." he said as he walked to the door.

"John?"

"Yeah?"

"Dave and i… broke up… I don't know why we don't work? I just wish we did" Kitten said softly. Tears were dripping down the side of her head as she turned her head towards him. John's gaze softened as he came back to the bed. He turned the light off before taking his shirt off and climbing in next to her. He held her closely and rocked her back and forth till her fell asleep. John stayed away for a couple of more minutes, taking in what had just happened, before he too fell asleep.
