Scary, Crazy, Weird

"Johnny, I'm nervous," Alex said as she zipped up her boots.

"You'll be fine, just don't be nervous. You know what you are supposed to do. You're going to be talking over my schedule and Nitro is going to be in here looking for a fight with Melina by his side. You two are going to get into a bickering fight while Nitro and I talk things over. You're gonna slap her across the face and Nitro and I are going to pull you two apart."
"John I think that I've read the script about 50 times. I know what to do okay?"
"Yeah but I was just trying to make you feel more comfortable."
"Well it's not working all that well." She got up and fixed her outfit. She had talked to Vince about changing her outfit to look more like she was with John and changed into camouflage short shorts and a tan jacket with a black bra with her stiletto heeled combat boots. "I feel really fat today."
"You're not fat I promise. You look amazing."
"Thanks Johnny. Have you been complimenting me more lately or is it just me?"
"No, I've always complemented you this much because I've liked you for a while now."
"For how long," she asked as she wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up to him.

"For about 10 years now."
"Really?"
"Yeah. When you went to UNC and I went to Springfield College, I missed you so much and every girl that I saw I wanted it to be you."
"I thought that I was bad."
"Why?"
"2 years now. Maybe I've liked you all along but I never wanted to say anything about it to you."
"Maybe."
He pulled her into his strong body and held her tightly. She smiled as she smelled his cologne. Man, she never realized how good he actually smelled before. There was a knock on the door and they both sighed.

"Don't worry Shortie, we can snuggle later."
"Good because I don't want our friendship to change."
"It won't."
John opened the door and it was the camera crew.

"Alex go and stand at the desk and bend over a little bit and open up your lap-top. John you stand closely next to her and put your arm around her waist."
"Alright."
"And we are going to pan up from your legs and Alex you're going to start talking when I say action."
"Okay," she replied as she started shaking.
"We have a few takes so don't worry if the first one isn't perfect."
Alex nodded as she went over and opened her lap-top.

"Okay and action."
"So John," she started as he put his arm around her waist. "Tonight you're going to face Johnny Nitro in the main-event. Then on Wednesday you have a photo-shoot for the next magazine. Umm, Thursday you have an autograph signing in Boston and Friday is a show in the state of Texas."
"Okay Alex," he said as the cameras were focusing on their faces. They both stood up and he put his arm around her shoulders. "But there is one small thing missing from that."
"And what is that?"
"Our date tomorrow night."
"Our date," she questioned. "Oh yeah but I didn't need to actually write that one in. There's no way that you would forget that one."
"You're right about that one."
She looked up at him and smiled as he smiled back at her.

"Excuse me," Nitro said as he walked in the locker room.

"What do you want now," John asked.

"I just want to know when I'm going to get a shot at that title of yours."
"How about never," Alex responded to Nitro's comment.

"Excuse me," Melina said in a condescending tone.

John and Nitro talked in the background while Alex and Melina spoke loudly.

"And who in the hell are you," Melina asked meanly.

"I'm Alexis, John Cena's assistant."
"You really look like an assistant to me. You look like every other one of these divas around her. I'm the only one here that has enough self-respect to not walk around here, taking my clothes off, at any opportunity that I get."
"Well maybe I walk around here taking off my clothes because people actually want to see me without my clothes on."
"You don't want to start with me you selfish little bitch."
Alex lifted up her hand and slapped Melina hard across the face. She fell to the ground as John and Nitro paid attention to them. Nitro helped up Melina and restrained her from beating up on Alex. "I'll see you out there Cena and you better hope that your little girlfriend isn't there."
Nitro walked off camera as the director said "Cut." Alex relaxed a little bit. "You guys that was perfect, great job."
"Thanks," they both said in unison. As the camera guys packed up Alex put on one of Johnny's hoodies.

"You did great Alex?"
"Really?"
"Yeah really. You did so great it was just amazing. I mean, the way you acted with Melina was great."
"Impromptu is great I guess. I didn't really mean to sound like I just take my clothes off all the time though."
"Well Alex, it's the way that Vince wants you to act because you can't wrestle just yet."
"Yeah but when I can Melina and I are going to be doing great."

"I can't wait to see that match, I will pay money for that one."
"Well you may have to because from what I understand the next pay-per view is about the time I should be ready to know some in ring action."
"You need to do something in Iraq though."
"Don't worry, I'll be able to do something. You've taught me the basics so it's not going to be that hard to learn how to do the other things."
"Are you really sure about that?"
"No, not really."
"Well it's okay. With me being your trainer you'll be in wrestling shape in no time."
"That's what I'm afraid of."
"We can stay after the show tonight to do some work and then head back to the hotel. Tomorrow we have a show at noon but the rest of the night off so before the show we can work and maybe after it."
"So when is that date of ours happening?"
"Our date? Oh yeah…"
"Johnny I know that you didn't forget."
"Nah shortie, I just wanted you to feel like I did."
"Why are you being so mean to me today?"
"I've always been this mean to you, you just have been realizing everything a little bit more today. I mean you realized that I compliment you a lot and that I'm really mean to you too."
"I don't know, I feel like I'm finally listening to everything that you say."
"And you didn't listen to me before?"
"Nope, I tried to ignore everything that you said."
"Really."
"Yep." John picked Alex up and flung her over his shoulder. "What are you doing Johnny? Put me down."
"No. You've been a bad girl," he said as he slapped her ass.

"Johnny put me the hell down. Stop slapping me."
"Nope."
There was a knock on the door and John said "Come in."
Vince opened the door. "Hey am I interrupting something."

"Oh no Mr. McMahon," John said as he put Alex down. "We were just messing around."
"That's okay but you guys did great in that promo."
"Thanks," they both said.

"John I knew that you were going to do great but for some reason Alex you stood out to me."
"Is that a good thing?"
"That's a great thing. To have you come on for your first time and do that good is just amazing. John you have to watch out for this one."
"I always knew that she was going to outshine me one of these days."
"Well great job you two and keep it up tonight. Did you two practice the entrance at all?"
"A little bit but I think we can do it naturally."

"Just look good you two."
"We will."
Vince left and Alex smiled. "I didn't think I did that good."
"Well it looks like I'm just going to have to get used to the fact that I'm going to need to share the spotlight with somebody else."
"As much as I hate to admit it John I think you do."
"Now don't be cocky or I'm going to have to slap your ass again and I'll do it even harder this time."
"Oh so you can go hard?"
"Yeah." Alex looked at him with a gleam in her eye. "Not like that you pervert."
"Oh so you can't go hard?"
"Just shut up now okay."
"Why don't you make me?"
John looked down at her like he was going to beat her up. But instead he just turned around and sat on the bench not looking towards her. "Come on John cut it out."
He tied his sneakers up tighter completely ignoring what she was saying. She sat down behind him and put her arms around him. "You have to talk to me eventually," she said as she put her hands underneath his shirt and rubbed them against his strong, muscular stomach. She moved her hands up higher and he finally grabbed her hands.

"Don't do that right now," John said quietly.

"Why not?"
"Just don't." He got up and he looked like he was upset.

"Johnny what's wrong?"
"Nothing shortie, just don't do that now, maybe later."
"Later. Oh my god John, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you…" She held her laughter inside as she thought of her best friend in that way. "Yeah maybe later," she said calming down a little bit.

"After the match we'll just go to the hotel and get some sleep."
"Yeah, sleep. Sleep is good."
The more that she thought of what John was going through, the more she realized how badly that she wanted him. They stood in silence for a little while, both looking at the clock where it seemed like the seconds went by so slowly. Finally it was time for them to make their way to the gorilla position. John grabbed her hand without saying a word and they walked out of the locker room and the photographers were waiting for them as was a camera crew.
"The Champ John Cena being accompanied by Alexis will be facing off against the A-lister Johnny Nitro with Melina next," JR said by ringside. John looked down at Alex and smiled as they saw Johnny and Melina at the gorilla position.

"Hi I'm Melina," she said extending her hand to Alex.

"Hey, I'm Alexis but most people call me Alex. I didn't hurt you earlier did I?"
"No, it stung for a second but then it felt fine."

"Well I look forward to being able to wrestle against you. I've never really done it before."
"I've got some experience but not much so don't worry, you won't look like that much of an idiot."
"That's what I'm afraid of."
Alex then turned her attention to Nitro.

"Hi, I'm John Morrison."
"It's nice to meet you but I've got to come up with a name for you because it's going to get a little confusing."
"Yeah I know. Normally I go by Johnny but that's what you call him so you can't go with that."
"I can call you Mo. I had a friend in high school that was named Mike Morrison and I called him Mikey Mo so I can you Johnny Mo."
"I guess that could work out but congrats on making it."
"Thanks but Johnny got me here, I'm just doing what they asked me to do."
"Good luck out there anyways."
"Thanks you too."
Nitro and Melina's music went on as they headed up the stairs.

"You ready shortie," John asked as he helped her up the staircase.
"Yeah I think that I'm finally ready."
"Remember what we talked about?"
"Yep."
Cena's music went on and the arena burst into cheers. John ran out onto the ramp with his championship in hand as Alex followed behind slowly. He hit both sides while Alex cheered him on. He met her back in the middle and stretched out his hand to her. He held her hand as they walked quickly down to the ring. At the bottom of the ramp they let go and John slid into the ring as she walked to the stairs and slowly went up them. She got to the ring ropes as John opened up the 1st and 2nd ropes for her to go in. He hit the corners as she kept cheering him on and he threw his shirt off to the crowd, picked up his title and met her back in the middle of the ring. She grabbed onto him for dear life and smiled to the crowd. John gave her a kiss on the cheek as he handed her his title and she climbed out of the ring as Nitro go back in. She smiled at ringside as she watched her best friend wrestling his heart out. At the end of the match, Cena got the pin and Alex took the title into the ring with her and handed it to Cena. He smiled at her as she jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his waist. He raised the title up with one hand and held onto her with the other. He kissed on the lips quickly before walking around the ring and celebrating.
