Chapter 6: Surprises
Ashleigh and Mercedes had finally fixed their relationship. Everybody thought it was about damn time! Well, everybody except John, that is.
He barely got to see Ashleigh anymore because she was spending all her time with Mercedes. He was hurt that she'd just drop him like that. But, she did call every day or two; it's just that it wasn't enough for him. Although he thought it must have been for her.
Ashleigh knew John was feeling hurt, so tonight she took the night off at the bar and told Mercedes that she was going to visit a good friend that she hasn't seen in a while. She walked into her room and threw on a pink halter top and a pair of black low risers. Mercedes understood and practically shoved Ash out the door. 'Weird' Ash thought. But none the less, she got in her car and drove until she got to her desired destination. Ashleigh looked in the rear view mirror and put on some lip gloss. She got out of the car, walked to the door, and rung the doorbell.
She could here footsteps and smiled as she knew the person on the other side of the door would look through the spy hole. (A/N: Better than peep-hole, is it not? That word is gayer than Jai Rodriguez, no offence.)
The door swung open and arms were soon flung around her tiny figure.
"It's good to see you too, Johnny." She laughed.
"I've missed you!" he told her. 'Oops! That wasn't supposed to come out…nice going Cena'
"Awwwwwwwww! You missed me!" she teased. "I missed you too, big guy."
"Nice clothes. They look new. I take it you've been shopping a lot with M's?" John asked.
"Thanks. But I know all you wanna do is just take them off me anyways." She winked. "And for your information that's all she's made me do for the past two weeks. I'm kind of getting sick of it. And I think she's getting sick of me all together, now."
"Ha-ha. And why would that be Ms. Nichols?"
"I don't know. She practically pushed me out the door when I left. It makes me think something's going on behind my back that I don't know about…"
"Interesting." John said, fairly amused by the situation.
"So anyways, what brings you to this side of town?"
"Just catching up with one of my bestest buddies is all." Ashleigh replied.
"Oh, I see."
"Ya. I took the night off to come see a friend who I'm sure is glad to see me, since he just about broke me with the big hug." Ash teased.
"Hey, you liked it and you know it."
"Ya, ya. Whatever."
The night went on as the two sat around and talked. Sooner or later (well actually way later), Ashleigh looked at the clock.
"Holy fuck, John! It's 3 in the morning!"
"Oh shit I have a flight at 6." He started. "Hey, wait a tick. You should come with me to the show tomorrow."
"What? Why? I have to work."
"Take it off. Think of it: you get to watch the show from backstage, you get to meet everybody on the roster, and you get to see the beautiful city of Monterrey, Mexico."
"OMG! Sienna lives there! I can visit her, too!"
"See! You should come with me!" John pushed.
"Hmmm…I dunno Johnny." Ash thought.
"Come on Ash, it'll be fun." He whined.
"Ok, fine. I'll call work on my way back home to pack. I'll come back here and pick you up at 5."
"Thank you!" John called after Ashleigh because she had already run out the door.
- - - - -- -- -- --
Ashleigh drove home quickly, parked her car and ran into the house.
"M!" she yelled.
"Upstairs!" was the reply she got.
Ash ran up the stairs and met M's in the hallway. She quickly grabbed M's arm and dragged her into her room.
"What's the big news?" she asked her best friend grouchily, rubbing her arm where Ash had grabbed her n left a big red mark.
"I'm going on tour with John tomorrow and I need to pack right now."
"Well fuck Ash, I was SLEEPING. That's what most people do at 3:40 in the morning, ya know?" she scolded.
"Well sorry, but sleep can wait. I'm going on tour with John in like 2 hours so help me pack!"
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?" Ashleigh begged. "You know how much I like John."
"Fine, whatever."
- - - - -- -- -- --
2 hours later, they had finally finished packing and Mercedes had finally got to sleep after bidding Ashleigh farewell for a few days.
Right now, Ashleigh was driving her car back to Johns while listening to music.
Come with me
Stay the night
Just say the words but boy it don't feel right
What do ya expect me to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You take my hand
And you say you've changed
But boy you know your begging don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game (You know it's just too little too late)
So let me go now
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know...
It's just too little too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You're just a good chase
So be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)
Yeah yeaaahhh... It's just too little too late... Mhmmm
Ashleigh pulled up in John's driveway, got out, walked to the door, and rang the doorbell.
"Coming!" she heard from the other side of the door, so she walked back to her car and got in.
John came out shortly after and Ashleigh popped the trunk for him.
He got in the passengers side and stopped the music.
"How's it going? Are you excited to be coming on the road?"
"Hell ya! But I hope you're not expecting me to stay awake during the plane ride, cuz I'm shit tired."
"No problem." John laughed.
A few minutes later, they were at the airport. And after they went through security and everything, they eventually boarded the plane.
"K, it's sleepy time for me!" Ash told John.
"Ok, I'll way you up when we get there."
John watched a movie while Ashleigh slept. Nothing too exciting happened on the plane ride. Well, other than a little kid running around 20 times back and forth and having to be told to sit down every single time. Only, that wasn't really exciting. It was more like torture.
The plane was landing and John decided to wake Ashleigh up.
"Ash, wake up." He whispered in her ear.
His breathe against her ear sent shivers down her spine. Yep! She was awake now!
"I got someone special to pick us up from the airport."
Ash's eyes went wide. "OH DEAR GOD, PLEASE TELL ME IT ISN'T RANDY!"
"No." John laughed. "But the look on your face was priceless. Oh my god, you should've seen it! It was like this!" he mocked.
"Oh shove it, Cena."
"No seriously, though. Someone special to me is going to be out there waiting for us."
'Family' Ashleigh thought. But boy was she wrong.
Trish Stratus.
"Hey baby!" John greeted.
'Baby? BABY? Oh hell no, you have GOT to be kidding me!' Ashleigh seared with anger.
"Trish, I'd like you to meet my new best friend Ashleigh. Ashleigh, meet my new girlfriend Trish."
OH SHIT.
It's just too little too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You're just a good chase
So be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)
Ok ppl, plz don't kill me! I had to do something to stir up the pot a little tho! The song was Too Little Too Late by JoJo. R&R n I'll love you forever!
