"Well, here we are", Jenna said as she and John walked into her apartment in downtown Birmingham. She still wasn't sure if this was a good idea, but really couldn't imagine him in a hotel by himself for a week. She then started fearing that they would get close again, and he would leave again in a week. Jenna had a lot of questions in her head, but obviously couldn't answer them right now.

"Wow, this is pretty nice", John said looking around and then locking eyes with Jenna.

"Thanks…sorry it's a mess. I'm not here a lot."

"No, its not messy." John then saw a bookshelf full of pictures. He walked over to look at them, and one struck him immediately. "Was this one taken that Christmas 5 years ago?"

Jenna walked over and saw the picture of all 5 Cena boys and herself. "Yeah, that was taken the night you asked me out", Jenna said as she shyly walked away.

"I don't see any boyfriend or husband pictures."

"Well, there shouldn't be any there because I don't have one. Come on, I will show you to your room."

John then followed Jenna into a huge master bedroom, that was decorated with browns and turquoise blues. "Jenna, now correct me if I am wrong, but this looks like your room."

"Yeah it is", Jenna said as she plopped his suitcases on the floor. "Now, you have your own bathroom here, and towels are here…"

As she was walking toward the bathroom, John stopped her by taking her arm. "You don't have to give up your room. I can take the couch."

"No", Jenna said as she shook her head. "You are the one recovering from surgery, and need the extra comfort. I can take the couch, its fine."

"Thank you", John said inching closer. He had felt a sudden urge to kiss her, but knew it was too soon for that. He wanted her to feel comfortable with him again, and to trust him again. "By the way", he said backing off just a tad, "I'm sorry if I hit a sore spot when I talked about the boyfriend or husband pictures."

"No its ok", as they made their way back to the living room. "I did have some fiancé pictures up, but we broke up several months ago."

"Can I ask what happened?"

"We just changed. He was a good guy, but the closer the wedding got, the more we would fight, and I finally just broke it off. How about you, John? Any girlfriend or fiancé pictures at home?"

John then shook his head no. "Nope not anymore. The girl I last dated and I broke up almost a year ago. We were engaged for a bit, but we mutually broke it off not too long after."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"No, its ok." By this time, John and Jenna were both sitting on the couch, and John was caressing her cheek. He REALLY wanted to kiss her, but stopped himself.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have done that."

Jenna just smiled at him. She couldn't talk right now, mainly because she was in awe of his touch. It was beginning to feel like old times.

After lunch, the two decided to sit down and watch a movie. It wasn't too long, and Jenna fell asleep. She was awoken a little bit later by the smell of food. She then noticed that she was in her bedroom, not the couch she had fallen asleep on. How in the world did I get here?, she thought.

As she walked into the kitchen, she saw John find the plates and saw take out containers on the counter. He then turned around and saw her staring at him in the kitchen doorway.

"Hey, how was your nap?", he asked with a smile.

"It was good, thanks", she said walking toward the food. "How did I get into my bedroom?"

"I hoisted you over my shoulder."

Jenna then looked puzzled. "How did you do that?"

"Well, it wasn't easy with my arm, but I carefully got you there."

"Well, thanks for bringing me there. You could have just left me on the couch."

John just shrugged. "Well, I knew that you would be more comfortable in your own bed."

Jenna smiled at him. "When did you get dinner? How long was I asleep?"

"Boy, you are just full of questions!", John said laughing. "You were asleep for about an hour and a half, and after I put you in your room, I took off to find a burger place." He then opened the containers to find hamburgers and fries, and turned toward Jenna. "You still like that right?"

"Yeah its still one of my favorites."

"Good", John said heading toward the living room.

"So, did you want to do something tonight?", Jenna asked while they were eating dinner.

"If you don't mind, I was just kind of hoping to stay inside tonight. I am still kind of tired and sore from the surgery. If you had made plans earlier, don't let me stop you."

"No I hadn't made plans, and actually staying in sounds great. You are probably tired because you hoisted me over your shoulder."

"I wouldn't say it was that. Besides, I threw you over my good shoulder.", John said giggling.

Jenna smiled. The rest of the evening flew by. They were either talking, looking at some pictures that Jenna had and watching some television. "Well, I guess I'm going to head for bed", John said reluctantly getting off the couch. Jenna got up as well.

"Good night."

"Umm…Jenna, could I…um…ask a favor?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Could you help me get my t-shirt off, and help me get into my pajama pants?"

"Umm…sure", Jenna said as the two went toward the bedroom. Jenna was ever so careful taking off John's shirt. Oh my God, he is buff!, she thought. She couldn't help but caress his shirtless abs and sides. He's huge!, she thought as she pulled off his pants, and ever so carefully helped with his pajama pants. She needed to push those thoughts out of her mind, but just couldn't. John and Jenna's eyes never left each other as she helped him, and it seemed as if their lips got closer and closer….
