I walked towards the entrance of the training gym, ready for my 'lesson' with The Miz. It was super sunny out that day and so I was wearing a halter neck top and shorts, rather than my usual hoodie and tracksuit bottoms.
I was taken out of my thoughts when I heard someone running behind me. I turned to see JoMo, who grinned and slowed to my pace.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Hello." he replied in, what I like to call, his 'Dirt Sheet voice'.
"Did you miss me?" I smirked. He put his arm over my shoulders, nodding.
"Lots."
"Aww. Well I'm back now." I giggled, patting his back.
"Good." he smiled, opening the gym doors for me. I thanked him and then we went our separate ways to train/be trained.
I got up from pinning Kyle - R-Truth's rookie - and helped him up. I was getting really good. I was good before NXT, but The Miz was showing me how to perfect what I already knew, as well as some new stuff, too. I was able to compete with the male rookies, though since the Divas trained on a different day, I really had no choice anyway.
"Well done." Kyle grinned.
"Thanks. Same to you." I replied, heading out the ring and towards the Miz. He was clapping. I bowed, thanking him. He chuckled.
"So I've been thinking." he began.
"Uh-oh, someone call a medic." I grinned. He stuck out his tongue and continued.
"Since you're doing so well, I thought we could start developing your own finisher?" he grinned.
"Yes please!" I exclaimed, excited.
"Awesome. I'll get thinking."
I waved to Miz as he left and packed my bottle into my bag.
"Sarah?"
I turned around to see John Morrison stood there, bag in hand, smiling.
"How can I help, good sire?" I smiled, lifting my bag onto my shoulder.
"Well, I wanted to ask you if you'd like to go somewhere with me tomorrow night?"
"Oh! Um... yeah. That'd be cool." I nodded, smiling wider. He grinned, about to say something but stopped when Miz walked back in, glaring at the floor.
"I forgot my bottle."
I watched Miz storm back out and shrugged. JoMo rolled his eyes and offered his arm. I linked my own arm onto his and we left together.
When JoMo got home, he thought about where he could take Sarah. A restaurant would be too full-on, a movie was too casual. Then he thought of the perfect place. A beach.
Now he just needed her number, and he knew the guy who would have it.
"Come on, Mike. I know you have her number." JoMo groaned.
"No, I don't."
"But I've seen you texting her! Please!"
"Ugh. Fine."
I ran to pick up my phone, trying to tame my breathing so that whoever was listening couldn't tell that I had just been sprinting through my house.
"Hello?" I started.
"Hey, is that Sarah?"
"It is indeed. Who's asking?"
"It's John."
"Oh! Hi." I grinned.
"I was just calling about tomorrow."
"Cool. It's still on, right?"
"Yep, I was thinking we could go to the beach?"
"That sounds good."
"So I'll come pick you up at 5:30 and we can walk down the beachfront/shops?"
"Awesome. I can't wait."
"Me either. I gotta go now, see you tomorrow."
"Bye!"
And then he hung up. I saved his number and went on the laptop for a while. It was strange, though. Miz wasn't online at all the whole night.
It was about 4pm the next day when I started getting ready. I had just gotten out the shower and finished straightening my hair. The clothes I was going to wear were led on my bed, waiting.
I wore my bikini underneath my clothes, in case we went into the sea. A white lacy layered skirt with a pink vest top and ballet flats. My top had a cartoon Godzilla on it. Even though it was sunny out, I decided to wear a hoodie just in case.
The hoodie was black and had grey drawings all over with some coloured in on the front. They looked like tattoos.
After I was dressed, I put on my make-up – lots of eyeliner and turquoise eye shadow fading into black. I was also wearing light pink blush and skin-tone lip gloss. I smiled at myself then re-brushed my hair and put a bow in it, leaving it down.
By the time this was done, I only had 20 minutes until John arrived, so I put my keys in my pocket and went into the kitchen for a glass of water. Then I went to the toilet, so that I didn't need to go while we were out. That would be embarrassing.
After that, I was sure I was ready, so I used to my phone to take a picture of myself and tweet it, telling my followers that I was about to go out on a date.
Knock, knock, knock.
I made my way to the door and opened it. John was wearing a pair of grey denim long shorts and a black shirt with some Nike Airwalks on his feet. I just thanked God he wasn't a sandals and socks kinda guy. His hair was as awesome as ever and he was wearing sunglasses. He had a rucksack on, which I guessed was the picnic. It was one of those cooler bag type rucksacks.
"You look great." He smiled.
"Thanks." I blushed. "So do you."
"Shall we go?" he held out his hand.
"Sure." I smiled, taking his hand and closing the door.
