CHAPTER TWO
The next day Jon was ready around noon when Sami was scheduled to be there. He was nervous but he didn't know why. It was just Sami after all. To try and relax, Jon made them some lunch so that it would be ready by the time he got there. He was getting ready to put the steaks on the table when the doorbell rang. He went to the door and opened it to his old friend that he hadn't seen since the first of the year, Sami Johnston, who was better known as Sami Callihan.
Jon smiled and Sami came in and they briefly hugged. When they broke apart, Jon shut and locked the door and led Sami into the dining room where lunch was waiting. "I made lunch, so I hope you're hungry. You look great by the way," Jon said as he looked him over. He was wearing a pair of black jeans, t-shirt, vest, and his trademark headband on his head. He sighed deeply
Sami smiled and said, "You bet. You know I love your steaks."
The two of then sat down and ate lunch, keeping the conversation pretty light. Jon kept sneaking glances at him, wondering what had been so important that he had wanted to come out. He looked good though, happy, and he wondered if it had anything to do with him getting signed to WWE and being on NXT within the next couple of months. If anyone deserved it, Sami did that was for sure.
After lunch, Jon put the dishes in the dishwasher and then turned to Sami. "So what's up Sami? How come I'm only just now hearing about you getting into NXT?"
Sami sighed and looked at Jon and crossed his arms across his chest. "I'm not sure. I guess with the way things were left back at the first year of the year, I didn't think you wanted to hear from me. It's like I said on the phone."
"Come off it Sami. We've been friends for longer that I can remember not being friends. You know that you can tell me anything," Jon said as he started to make his way into the living room, trusting Sami to follow close behind him. He could hear him behind him and he went and sat down on the couch and waited for him to sit next to him. When they were both seated, Jon turned to face him and said, "So what is going on?"
Sami smiled and said, "Well I have some good news for you."
Jon looked at Sami quizzically and wondered what he could tell him. Was there any hope that maybe Sami has begun to feel the same way about him? His mind went back to the day that Sami told him he was going to be getting divorced from Chrissy. Jon had almost told him about his feelings for him which he knew could have ended up in disaster so Jon had just walked away without saying anything. He supposed by doing that he had made Sami feel that he didn't want to hear from him anymore.
"So what is the news?" Jon asked him.
"Well, after things went south with Chrissy, I didn't think that I would ever find anyone that I wanted to be with but I have found someone, someone that I want to marry and I want you to be my best man."
Jon looked at him and he thought for a moment that he was going to pass out. This couldn't be happening. Not again. Sami couldn't get married again. He almost didn't survive it the first time. When he finally found his voice, he said, "Excuse me? You're getting married?" Jon stood up and started pacing. "Getting married…"
Sami looked at Jon confused and wondered what was going on with him. It wasn't exactly the response that he hadn't expected. He knew that it would have been a shock but it wasn't that much of a shock. What was wrong with him? "Jon? What's the matter man?"
Jon stopped and looked at Sami and frowned. "Are you really getting married or are you just fucking with me?" Sami had to be pulling his leg. After what he went through with Chrissy, why would he put himself through that again? And he wanted him to be his best man. This wasn't happening. This couldn't be happening.
Sami frowned. This wasn't exactly the response he had expected. "Jon, what the fuck are you talking about? I thought that you would be happy for me."
"Happy for you? Happy for you? After the hell you went through when you were married to Chrissy, you'd think that I would be happy for you that in just under six months you're getting married again? I'm sorry Sami, but I think that you're making a big mistake."
Sami sat there for a minute not really registering what Jon was saying but then he stood up and said, "Fuck you Jon. I just wanted to come and tell you what was going on and ask you to be the best man and this is what I get? Are you fucking kidding me?"
Sami went up to Jon and even though he was about half a foot shorter than Jon was, he stood up to him. "Why can't you be happy for me?"
Jon didn't know what to say to him to make him understand. Why couldn't he see what was right in front of him? He loved Sami and it hurt like hell that Sami didn't feel the same way. Something came over him then, something he never thought that he would do. "Sami…" Jon said right before he put his hand behind Sami's head and brought him forward and kissed him hard on the lips. After a few seconds, Jon pushed away from Sami and just stared at him. "That's why I can't fucking be happy for you."
