Chapter Six: Now What
Disclaimer: I own everyone not recognizable
The morning after the wedding Carli and John met for breakfast with the Bautistas. Angie and Carli hit it off quickly and became fast friends. Halfway through the meal, Matt and Amy and Shawn and Rebecca joined them. The girls agreed they'd get together at the next pay-per-view, which was in three weeks. They made a pact to always meet at the PPVs.
"Don't even roll your eyes at me, Shawn." Carli said firmly.
"It's never a good thing when you two get together and now you're adding fuel to the fire. I know how Amy is and if you've suckered Angie into joining the bunch, Dave's in big trouble." Shawn responded drinking his coffee. Everybody laughed as Carli and Rebecca looked at Shawn feigning shock.
"I resent that remark." Carli retorted.
"No, you resemble that remark. I know you too well, little girl." Shawn kissed Carli's cheek and she just shrugged.
"Do I need to hold tight to my wallet?" Dave asked.
"Shopping's not the problem. It's the phone call at three in the morning asking to be picked up from jail." Shawn answered. Carli's jaw dropped and she blushed.
"Shawn, that is so not true!" Carli squealed back. Rebecca sat back trying to contain her laughter.
"Not true, really. How many times have I been called to come get you both from jail, hmm? Two, five, I don't know, try 11 times, Carli. 11 times just this year…so far." Shawn said laughing. Carli's jaw was still hanging open.
"11? Really?" She looked at Rebecca, "Has it really been that many times?" Carli tried to whisper.
"11 with just you two, four with Amy and I lost count with you three, Trish, Stacy, both Lisas, Lillian, need I continue? And that's just this roster; I have no idea about the other. Maybe we should call Mark and find out how many times he's picked up you and Sara." Shawn took another sip of coffee as Rebecca and everybody else laughed loudly.
"Angie, if you want out now, I understand, but in our defense, we had a fabulous time." Carli said trying to be serious.
"At least share with the group why you were arrested." John said.
"Oh we were never arrested, just a little friendly visit with the police." Amy was practically on the floor. Stacy, Trish and Lisa Varon (Victoria) walked up and asked what was so funny.
"How many times have you been in jail while hanging out with Carli?" Shawn asked. All three looked around the room like they didn't hear him. "Go on, we all want to know." Rebecca was close to joining Amy on the floor. Trish coughed an inaudible answer. "I'm sorry, Trish, we missed that." Carli was trying to slide under the table.
Trish looked at Stacy and Lisa and they all whispered as you could see them counting on their fingers. The longer they took the louder the group laughed.
"Ok…which city?" Trish responded. The group couldn't be any louder as they kept laughing. "Hey, it's all in fun!" Trish said as she drank Carli's juice.
"Vince loves it when you all have fun!" Matt said sarcastically.
"Hey, if it wasn't for Carli, we would have been fined or suspended or maybe even fired." Amy defended.
"If it wasn't for Carli, you wouldn't be in jail to begin with, right?" Matt laughed to Amy.
"Maybe that's true, but because she is who she is, everything is fine." Lisa said also defending Carli. John and Dave assumed it was because she was Steph's best friend. "So, Angie, you in?" Lisa said as she wiggled her eyebrows. All the girls lifted their glasses in a toast and looked at Angie.
She looked at Dave and back at the girls. She raised her glass, "Hell yeah!" Dave smiled and shook his head as the girls glasses connected.
Shawn raised his glass, "Welcome to the club, boys." The guys all toasted to what would be an interesting adventure. Shawn looked at John, "Remember when we said Carli's a handful?" John shook his head. "Now you know." John smiled and kissed Carli's temple. He actually found someone crazier than himself. They finished their breakfast and everyone went back to their rooms to pack up and check out. John and Carli made love again knowing it would be awhile before they saw eachother. Carli knew it would be next Monday at the joint live show, but she didn't tell John she would be there. She liked to keep her personal and private life separate, but that would be hard if she was dating someone in the company. She still didn't tell John what she did, she didn't want him to get nervous or panic. As far as John knew, Carli owned a club and sang in a band. She knew he'd find out, obviously on Monday if not sooner, but she'd rather not tell him now.
She drove John and the Bautistas to the airport. "I'll call you when we land, baby girl." Carli shook her head and kissed John. She hugged and kissed Dave and Angie and they walked inside. Dave had arranged his flight so he would fly to DC with her and then he'd board another plane for tonight's house show. John looked at her heart-broken, not knowing what to say. He cupped her face with his hands, "I'm really going to miss you." She smiled and leaned into his hand. He kissed her lightly and hugged her. They could both hear a few fans asking eachother if that was really John Cena. He kissed her again, pulled his hat low and quickly went inside. He turned one last time to look at her face and she blew him a kiss.
John and Carli talked several times a day and John was doing his best to see her. It was a busy week and he was hoping to get to her over the weekend. They had a house show in Baltimore on Saturday and he wanted to go to Connecticut right after. The Raw and Smackdown joint show was in New York City at Madison Square Garden and he had four days off for sure after the show. Carli said she'd meet him in Baltimore since she also was going to be in New York City on Monday. Saturday finally arrived and John could barely contain himself. Mark, Rey, Eddie and JBL kept trying to distract John to keep him calm. He kept looking at his watch and swore it was broken. They took him out to the ring and the four of them played around. They were soon joined by others, Booker, Rob, Kurt, Paul Wight (Big Show), Billy and Paul London. The Divas gathered round the ring and cheered the impromptu battle royal. Carli arrived at the arena and said hello to those left backstage. She saw Sara who was getting a drink and Sara said they were in the ring. She told Carli how manic John had been so the guys were trying to occupy him. Carli laughed knowing the feeling and she followed Sara to the ring. They walked down the ramp and Carli stood next to Torrie and Sara. Mark body slammed John and he landed right next to Carli. "Hi, handsome." She said as his face lit up. They kissed and John was quickly yanked up and given an Angle slam. Rey was laughing and John grabbed him and threw onto his shoulders for an F-U. Everybody was laughing and John launched Rey from his shoulders. Since Rey was so much smaller and lighter it was easy to add a little extra height to the maneuver. John lay on the mat out of breath from the beatings and they took the opportunity to dog pile him. Carli smiled at him and blew him a kiss.
"You just got knocked the fuck out!" Rey yelled and the group erupted louder. Carli climbed onto the apron and into the ring. She lay on top of John and the laughter stopped and the cat calls began. The Divas and wrestlers went back to the locker rooms and left John and Carli in the ring.
"Where in the hell have you been?" He looked at her with a smile. Carli grabbed his face and gave him a sensuous kiss. John's brain quickly disintegrated and he melted into her. They laid there for awhile quickly catching up when they heard their names over the loud speaker to report to catering. They got up and went to the locker room. Carli changed again and they went to catering. They ate dinner with Mark and Sara and the girls plotted for the evening.
"Am I gonna have to get you from jail?" John asked and Carli and Sara busted up laughing. Mark rolled his eyes and said the same thing to John he had heard earlier.
"Welcome to the club, man." The girls continued and went for a walk when the meeting for the wrestlers began.
"So John doesn't mind that you work at HQ?" Sara asked.
"I don't think he knows." Carli replied. "It shouldn't matter right? I mean I just don't want him to think I'll be working the system to get him hookups. I know he wants to do it his way and on his own."
"Look at Steph and Paul. We all know she has a lot to do with him holding the belt for so damn long. And even though they know it, neither of them likes to be accused of special favors." Sara said quietly. Carli shook her head.
"That's why I'm afraid to tell him. Granted, I have nothing to do with the writing or any of the scripts, and I would never compromise him or my friendship with Steph just to promote John." Carli whispered back. They heard the meeting breaking up and walked around the corner out of ear shot.
Sara said, "Do you want him to find out from someone else or from you? Or do you just plan on walking into the meeting Monday and say 'surprise'?" Carli shrugged her shoulders and Mark and John came around the corner. Everyone went their separate ways and agreed to meet back in catering after the show. Carli thought all night how to tell John. There's no way it's a big deal, she has nothing to do with talent relations or writing. She can't be accused of helping further John's career, could she? John came back from his match and jumped in the shower. Although he loved shorts no matter the weather, he decided to wear baggy jeans and a button down. Carli wore her usual, a black tank top that sat low on her chest and black low rise cargo capris, her taught tummy clearly visible. She wore heels that she knew would be good for dancing, nice and stable. Her hair was down, just the way John loved it. They grabbed their leather jackets and bags and left for catering. They were the last to arrive and the guys were taking bets on how long the evening would last before Carli had them in jail.
"Very funny. I'm on good behavior tonight, sorry to disappoint you." Carli announced and hugged and kissed those she hadn't seen earlier. John thought to himself he had been here a year and a half, how come he had never heard this before or seen her. Mark and Sara and Billy and Torrie rode with John and Carli in her rented Expedition. They went straight to the club and the girls made a bee-line for the bar. A group of guys approached the girls at the bar and asked them to dance. The girls paid them no mind and continued with their shots. One of the guys pressed himself against Carli and placed a hand on her ass. John was ready to kill. Mark and Show both put their arms out to stop John and the others all watched the poor guy with his hands on Carli.
"Here we go guys; this didn't take long at all." Show said. Sara looked over at Mark at the same time Torrie looked at Billy. Carli did her shot and looked at the guy's hand on her ass then to his eyes.
"Remove your hand." Carli said quite pointedly as she looked back at the guy's hand on her.
"I didn't hear a please." The poor sap said as he squeezed her ass and pressed himself against her harder. John tried to get over there again and Mark still held John back.
"Just sit back and watch, Johnny boy." Mark said. Carli placed a $100 bill on the bar, winked at the bartender who knew Carli, and she turned around to face the stranger. They both blatantly looked eachother up and down as she leaned against the bar. She licked her lips and pushed off the bar. She put her hands on his chest and got close to his face. Sara and Torrie shook their heads and looked at Carli.
"You like touching me?" The stranger shook his head. "What's your name, little boy?" The guy gave a cocky smile and looked at his friends. He told her his name and tried to puff out his chest. Carli tried to contain her laughter as did the other girls. She gave her best silly school girl giggle and looked at her friends. She gripped his shirt tight and pulled him swiftly to her and slammed her head into his nose. The bartender and security all turned their backs. He bent over as the blood dripped from his nose. He started calling Carli all kinds of names and her closed hand connected with his ear. She pulled his shirt over his head trapping him inside his own clothing. Her left arm put him in a headlock and her right grabbed his waistband. Her right knee met his ribs and as he fell, she punched him in the kidney. She got in his ear, "You still like touching me?" He screamed in pain and she pushed him to the floor with her hand. Carli looked at the other guys and they quickly gathered their friend and headed for the exit. They ran into a few brick walls and their eyes grew wide as they looked up and saw familiar faces. John bent down and whispered in the victim's ear.
"You touch her again, mother fucker, and I'll give you a beating that will give you nightmares for the rest of your miserable ass life." He looked up at John and shook his head. They tried desperately to get through the guys who weren't moving. John went straight to Carli who was doing another shot with the girls. She grabbed him and kissed him, her tongue dancing on his and letting him know what she was drinking. A suggestive song was played and the girls went to the dance floor. They danced a slow, erotic dance with Carli between Sara and Torrie. She looked so tiny between them. Carli watched John watching her and it drove him wild. He could feel himself getting slightly aroused despite the public setting. Torrie was in front of Carli with her back to her and she bent forward. She threw her head back and moved her hips. Torrie kept her eyes on her husband, Billy. Sara was behind Carli and she squatted down behind her. As she stood back up slowly she ran her hands up Carli's legs, stopping on her hips. Sara kept her eyes on her husband, Mark. When Torrie bent over and Sara squatted, Carli leaned back placing her right hand on Torrie's back. She leaned her upper body at a left angle, closed her eyes and let her head fall back and her lips part. She ran her left hand through her hair and let it fall through her fingers. She licked her lips and locked eyes with her man. "Oh…my…god." John said almost dropping his beer. All eyes were on the three girls. Torrie dropped to her knees and Sara flipped Carli around so she was facing her. Sara held her waist and Carli was pulled backward by Torrie. Carli's head went to Torrie's right shoulder and their faces were right next to eachother. Torrie's hand was on Carli's throat both of their lips parting. Torrie slowly stood up bringing Carli with her. All three girls stood as if glued together and they looked at the guys. Carli's hands reaching behind her and resting on Torrie's thighs. Sara's hands were on Carli's hips and Torrie's hands were crossed over Carli and on Sara's hips.
"If they fuckin' kiss, I will cum right here." Rey said aloud.
"Yeah." The guys said in unison almost in slow motion. "That's fuckin' hot." John said. "Yeah." They all said again.
Sara whispered in Carli's ear, "He's perfect for you." Their eyes never leaving their men.
"I agree." Torrie replied as she came back up.
"Poor guy." Carli said and they all laughed. The song stopped and the girls went for another shot. The guys were all jolted back to reality as they came off the dance floor. "Hey, baby." Carli shot her tongue in John's mouth and it sent shock waves through him. She ordered a round of shots for everybody. He couldn't take his eyes from her nor could he speak. He was having a hard time not grabbing her and fucking her on the barstool. The rest of the night was more of the same, girl on girl dancing and shot after shot. The club stayed open an extra few hours just for them and they tipped big for it. When they finally left, they were drunk and exhausted. Mark had had the least amount to drink so he drove them back.
When they arrived at the hotel, they all said their goodnights and would meet tomorrow for lunch. John and Carli went to their suite and John plopped down on the couch. He put his head back and closed his eyes. Carli looked around and saw all the candles and John's radio. He always traveled with that radio. She lit the candles and found a good station. John looked up at her and she looked back seductively. She was just out of John's reach and she started dancing to the music. She turned her back to him and slowly removed her tank top while she moved her hips to the music, her arms staying above her head. She leisurely turned around to face him. Carli ran her hands down her face and leaned her head back as she ran her hands down her neck. As her hands continued slowly little by little down her chest, she raised her head and locked eyes with John. Her lips parted as her hands went down her tummy. Her hips still swayed as she undid her capris and turned to the side as she bent over and pulled her pants to her ankles. John was at full tilt by now and was ready to pounce on her like a lion to its prey. She had on her black Chantilly lace bra and matching boyshorts. Carli removed her pants and bent at the knees in a squat. She turned to face John and spread her legs, rotating her hips to the music. She kept her eyes locked to John's as she ran her hands on her inner thighs and she gradually stood. Both of her hands went to her center and she threw her head back, moaning and grinding her hips to her hands.
He couldn't take it any more and John was at Carli quicker than you could blink. He roughly kissed her as one hand squeezed her ass and the other captured her breast. He moaned into her mouth as he pressed her to him. He kept this position as he walked to the bedroom. At the bed he spun her around so her back pushed into him. He guided her legs onto the bed so she knelt at the edge. He persuaded her thighs to spread apart as far as she could handle it. His right hand was low on her belly and he held her firmly against him. His left hand sought her center and his fingers played with her over her boyshorts. She could feel his warm breath on her neck and it sent chills all over her. Carli let out a high pitched moan and threw her arms back so they wrapped around his head; her brow crinkling from pleasure and her mouth hung open. His right hand came up to her neck and moved her head towards him. His left hand went inside her panties and his fingers plunged into her at the same time his tongue dove into her mouth. Her body shuddered under his touch and she thought she'd die from bliss. She broke the kiss and gasped for air as his fingers thrust into her and rubbed her button. She screamed as she reached the pinnacle of ecstasy; her body constricting against him. John stayed with her until she finished and relaxed. He let her collapse on the bed but he only gave her a few seconds to prepare while he stripped of his own clothes. He literally ripped of her boyshorts and opened her legs as wide as they'd go. He thrust into her a little too fast and she screamed from pleasure and pain. He was drowning in the moment and didn't stop for Carli to adjust; he pumped deep into her and quickly found his release. His groans matched hers. He collapsed on her and laid his head on her chest.
Tears formed in the corners of her eyes and she held back sobs. The lump in her throat threatened to choke her. John felt her body tense and realized what he'd done. He looked at Carli and knew he'd hurt her. He rolled to his side and hugged her tight. She broke down and cried. "Oh god, baby. I'm so sorry." He kissed her shoulders and her head and did his best to rock her. "I'm sorry." He looked at her and wiped her tears. "I'm so sorry I hurt you, I'll never ever do it again. I love you." She kissed him and got up from the bed heading for the bathroom. She did her best to calm down and recover. When she came back she saw John sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands. She walked to the other side and turned down the sheets. She crawled in and patted John's side of the bed. He looked at her and his heart was clearly breaking. Carli gave him a reassuring smile and he climbed in next to her. She kissed him tenderly and flipped over pressing her back into his chest. He wrapped his arm around her as tight as he could and fit his body to hers. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"I love you too."
