Author's note: Reviews make me want to update sooner.
John's POV
"Look, I don't want to talk about it right now." I said.
"Too bad we're talking about it right now." Katie responded.
"It's nothing. I just needed something to take my mind off everything."
"Everything? What's wrong John?"
"My dad…he had a heart attack a week ago."
"Is he okay?"
"He's still in the hospital because his heart is weak."
Katie gave me a hug and held me. We didn't say anything for a while. It felt so comfortable to be in her arms like never could hurt me. I think I'm starting to fall for her.
"You have to stop." She said breaking the silence.
"I know. I will."
"Promise me, John. I don't want to find you dead in your hotel room."
"I promise. Can we go to sleep now?"
"Yeah." She said walking to the bed.
"My room. My bed."
"We can share. Rene can get over it; he's the one who threw me out of my room anyway."
So we shared the bed. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She started crying in her sleep. I held her and kissed her temple.
Katie's POV
I woke up smiling. This is the first in months I have woken up with a smile on my face. John still had his arm around me. I went and took a shower. After I got out of the shower I realize my bag was still in my room. I dried off and put the towel back around me and open the bathroom door. John was sitting in bed watching television.
"Katie, there has been an invention called clothes." John said to me.
"They're in my hotel room, remember? Do you mind getting them for me?
"I'm not you're slave."
"I'll keep your secret."
John was out the door, but back in two seconds.
"I forgot to put on clothes."
"Nice boxers." I said laughing.
He threw a shoe at me and quickly put on his clothes. Then left to get my bag.
Rene's POV
I woke up to a banging on the door. I quickly threw on a pair of sweats and opened the door.
"May I help you?" I asked John.
"Yeah, unless you want your girlfriend to stay naked on my bed." He said with a smirk.
"Why the fuck is my girlfriend naked on your bed." I said very pissed.
"Well see, she needed a place to crash after her boyfriend stole her hotel room. So she came to my room, and this morning she took a shower out of habit and forgot she didn't have any extra clothes. So she's sitting on my bed in a towel, did I forgot the towel part, waiting for her clothes." John said hiding back laughter.
I got her bag and went straight into John's room.
"About time John, I thought you were screwing my boyfriend for a moment." Katie said not even looking up.
"How do I know it wasn't you screwing John?" I yelled.
"Oh, hey sexy." She said. She got up and took her bag giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"Answer my question Katelyn!"
"Don't you ever fucking call me that again." She said going in the bathroom and slamming the door. When she got out she was wearing a pair of her old PE shorts and a blue sports bra.
"Where do you think you're going dressed like that?" I yelled at her.
"You're not my fucking father, and that's where I'm going. I'm going to work out with my father. Is that okay with you? She stormed out of the room.
John's POV
I stood there right inside the doorway watching the whole fight. All I can say is damn. Something really ticked Katie off. I could see it in her eyes. I kind of wanted to chase after her, but I figure it would be easier to talk to Rene.
"Dude what is up with that?"
He just fell onto my bed.
"Honestly man, I don't know. I just got so scared that I was going to lose her. I should apologize." Rene answered.
"Let her work it off. Then tonight apologize for it. I mean she has to come get her bag sometime."
"You're a genius Mr. Cena. You would never steal her from me right?"
"She's the girl that is more like my sister. You know the best friend you could never date." I said out a loud while saying "but wants to more than anything" in my mind.
"Thanks man. I'm glad I can trust you."
Chris's POV
When I saw my daughter, I know something was wrong. Call it father instinct.
"Hola Padre." She said with a fake smile of her face.
"Cut the crap. What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Katie Irvine."
"Wow, that's the first time I have ever been called that." She said shocked.
"Is it okay?" I nervously asked.
"Yeah. I like the ring of it. Katie Irvine. " She said with a smile.
"Now what's wrong?"
"Rene and I got into a fight."
"Why?"
She explained the story. I could understand being a guy why Rene got pissed, but he's still at fault.
"Dad, he called me Katelyn." She said close to tears.
"Why is that so bad?"
"Only he called me Katelyn."
"What?" I asked confused.
"Jason only called me Katelyn. He never said Katie. He didn't like the ring of Katie."
Maria had explained the story of Jason her ex. They had a really bad break up. She never fully healed from it. I'm still missing the details, but so is Maria.
"Maybe you should explain this to Rene."
"I can't. It would mean explaining the whole story. I don't trust anyone with it. I just can't"
"I understand sweetie." I said giving her a hug.
"Okay, I'm done with that. Now explain about you and Mom. Are you becoming something?"
"We have another date tonight, and I'm going to ask her to be my steady girlfriend."
"Wow that feels so weird coming from my padre."
"Padre?"
"El es espanol para padre." She said laughing.
"Now you completely lost me."
"It's Spanish for father. I took 4 years of Spanish."
"Okay now let's get training."
We trained all that afternoon. She really is a natural at this. Afterwards we went to McDonalds for lunch. When we got to the hotel, there was a huge surprise waiting for Katie.
