Chapter 6

The Next day, that afternoon

"I cant believe she did this." Rey said angrily as he drove to the hotel. He had called up Booker T and he told him where they were staying. Randy was in the passenger seat.

"I don't see what the problem is with seeing him." Randy was beginning to dislike the whole idea of separating Aqua and John. He was also beginning to think Rey was going completely insane.

"The problem? The fuckin problem is she shouldn't be seeing him at all! It will just make it harder for her to move on, she needs to find someone else."

"Rey why don't you just let her grow-up, if she wants to be with John, let her. She's a grown woman and you're treating her like a child, and frankly it's getting on my nerves." Rey took a side glance at randy.

"I'm trying to help her, Randy. I told you it was for the best, she will thank me for this later. Now just shut-up and let me drive." Randy remained silent for the rest of the trip as they headed to the hotel.

"So how long are you gonna be here?" John asked as they walked through the hotel.

"I don't know, I came down here with Booker so he could hang with Trish. But I don't wanna leave you." Said Aqua, John smiled.

"Well, how about this. We can hang in my room for a while and then later you can make your decision, how does that sound?"

Aqua nodded. "I would like that."

"Okay, let's head upstairs." John gently took her by the hand and they headed up to the room.

Meanwhile...

"Finally we're here." Rey said as he parked into the lot. After rey turned the car off the two got out and walked up to the entrance.

"I still think this is a bad idea." Randy said as they walked up to the desk.

"I don't care what you think." Rey snapped as he turned to the man at the desk. "Hello, may I have the room number for Mr. Cena, please." Rey smiled.

"I'm gonna go change my shirt real quick. You can turn on the t.v., have something outta fridge and I'll be right back alright?" She nodded, he smiled and kissed her on the lips. "I'll be right back."

Aqua watched as the bathroom door closed. She turned and looked around the room, it looked so beautiful, the cream colored walls were so calming and peaceful, the furniture looked so brand new and clean. She stared at the flat screen in front of her, she walked up to it and turned it on. Just then she heard a pounding on the door, she walked over and answered it. She almost had a heart attack when she saw who was on the other side of the door.

"Hello, Aqua. Surprise seeing you here." Rey said as he made his way into the room, Randy following close behind. She closed the door and turned to him.

"What are you doing here?" She asked nervously.

"What, no welcoming?" He said with a grin, he dropped it a second later. "So where is the asshole?"

"None of your business." She replied. The bathroom door opened and John walked out.

"Hey Aqua we can order room service if you want, they make the best-." He cut himself off when he saw Rey standing not to far away. "What in the fuck are you doing here?"

"I have a better question, what in the fuck are you doing here with Aqua?"

"She came over here to see me, I thought we'd hang out."

"Aqua, Rey and me came to take you back home." Randy said, he wanted to stay out of the confrontation that was beginning to brew.

"What...no, I'm not going." Aqua said standing her ground. It was bad enough Rey had came and ruined her time with John, now he was trying to take her away from him...again.

Rey turned to face her. "Yes you are."

"No she's not." John answered, everyone turned to him.

"You don't have the right to make that decision."

"I don't give a fuck what I have the right to do, she's not leaving with you."

"What are you gonna do about it?" Rey said as he began to walk toward him. John glanced at Aqua, this was the same reason she left him in the first place. And as much as he felt like punching Rey's lights out, he didn't want to risk anything with Aqua, not again.

"I'm not gonna fight you rey." John said keeping his calm. Rey smiled and turned around.

"Aqua get your stuff our plane is leaving in an hour."

"...I'm...not...leaving." Aqua walked over to John and stood beside him. "I've made my decision and I'm staying with him."

"Aqua this is no time for games, please let's just go." Randy pleaded.

"You guys can go back home, but I'm not going with you. I'm not playing games." She watched as Rey shook his head in disbelief

"So I let you stay in my house, I comforted you through this whole break-up. I brung you back on the road and brung you back to all your friends, I looked out for you and this is how you repay me?" Rey said angrily, he couldn't believe she would pick john over him. Randy looked from rey to john, hoping that the two wouldn't start fighting, he really just wanted to leave.

"Let's just leave man." The 3rd generation superstar said moving towards the door.

"Is this what you want?" Rey asked. John set an arm around her shoulder as aqua moved closer to him.

"I'm sorry, Rey."

The masked wrestler nodded his head. "You know what Aqua, do whatever the fuck you want alright?" He walked towards the door as well, as he opened it he turned back to the two. "Cause I don't give a shit anymore." The door slammed shut afterwards.

John sighed as he tightened his arm around Aqua. He turned to her and could see her staring at the door, tears threatening to fall from her now dark blue eyes.

"Aqua, I'm sorry, I didn't-." He was cut off as Aqua moved away from him and ran into the bathroom. She slammed the door and almost instantly he could hear her began to cry. John walked over to the couch and took a seat and waited until she came back out.

Aqua's POV

I opened my eyes slowly and was greeted by the sunlight. I squinted my eyes and sat up, it was morning. The events of yesterday were a blur, but still clear in my head. Rey had left, he left me, one of my best friends that had helped me through my break-up with John was gone, not only that but he was angry with me. Seeing the look in his eyes before he slammed the door in my face was heart-breaking, as soon as he left I ran into the bathroom and cried my eyes out. I thought I could work things out with john and rey would be happy that me and him got back together, then everything would be back to normal, I guess I was wrong. When I finally came out of the bathroom, it was already 8:32pm. John was asleep on the couch, he probably had been up waiting for me. I changed my clothes and got into bed, hoping to sleep off the incident.

I couldn't let this thing with Rey get to me, I love John and he loves me. If Rey can't accept that then oh well, my mind drifted back over to my dad, my family. I was wondering how mom, Chris and everybody else took the news about John, as much as I wanted to go back to Dana Point and catch up with Chris, I couldn't, not anymore.

I rose out of the bed and saw that the couch where John had been sleeping was unoccupied. Strange, he left, where? Was he mad at me for what happened yesterday? Was he starting to rethink us getting back together? No, no he wouldn't do that. My mind was spinning out of control, I need to take a shower. I walked over to my bags and picked out an outfit, I headed into the bathroom to get ready and clear my head, hopefully John would be here when I got out.

John's POV

BEEP!, BEEP!, BEEP!

I hit the alarm clock silencing the ringing that filled the room. I threw the covers off me and gave out a groan as I stretched. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes I looked over to my left and saw Ashley just waking up, I smiled as I watched her. She was so beautiful in the morning.

"Wake up sleepy-head." I said, after rubbing her eyes she looked at me and smiled.

"Morning baby." She sat up and kissed me. I looked on as she combed and hand through her hair. "What are you staring at?"

"Your beauty." I said with a smirk, she playfully slapped my arm.

"Cute, I'm gonna go take a shower." She rose from the bed giving me a full view of her bare figure, she looked over her shoulder at me knowing full well what I was looking at. "Care to join me?".

With that, I quickly rose out of the bed and followed her into the bathroom.

Aqua's POV

6:56, I had sat on the bed since 6:12. John hadn't shown up, I shrugged it off thinking he might have had something important to do and I would meet up with him later. Deciding to get some breakfast I decided to call up Trish, Booker T had already left late last night and I figured she would want some company. I picked up the phone and looked at it, what number did john say was for room service? Oh 9, I pressed it and put it up to my ear.

"Hello, this is room service. My name is Antonio how can I help you."

"Um, hi. I was wondering if you knew the room number for Trish Stratus." I asked, I heard him laugh on the other line.

"Oh you have the wrong number, that's the lobby. Don't worry I'll connect you to them."

"Thank you." I said.

"No problem, hold on a moment." No more than two seconds later a new voice came on the phone, this time it was a woman. "Hello my name is Violet, this is the lobby."

"Hello, I was wondering if you knew the room number for Trish Stratus."

"Name, please."

"Aqua Marina." I waited for almost a minute before she talked again.

"The room number for Ms. Patricia Stratigias is 183."

"Thank you very much Violet."

"You're welcome, Ms. Marina. Have a nice day."

"You too." I hung up and left to see Trish.

Trish's POV

"God you are the most disgusting asshole on the planet, I told you before stop leaving your fucking underwear next to the bed!". I yelled at my roommate, I carefully grabbed his boxers and tossed them far away from me.

"Yeah well Carlito doesn't like you leaving hair balls all over the bathroom." Came the response from Raw newest draft member Carlito Carribean Cool.

"Oh please, I do not leave hair balls in the bathroom, that's a damn lie." I said crossing my arms over my chest. I watched as carlito rolled his eyes and pointed to the bathroom.

"Then what do you call that pile of hair in the sink?" He asked me.

"That's probably from your nappy ass hair, try combing that shit once in a while will you." Carlito narrowed his eyes at me and disappeared into the bathroom. I blew out a sigh of frustration, why did I always have to be stuck with the newbie's?

I heard a knock at the door and went to open it, I was shocked to find Aqua standing there. I squealed in delight and pulled her in for a hug.

"I thought you left with Booker, what are you doing here?" I asked releasing her, she walked inside and I closed the door turning to her.

"Well, I was hanging out with John when Rey and Randy came by, there was this argument and I refused to go back to Smackdown! with him, so I'm staying." Aqua gave a small smile.

"So does that mean you and John are back together?" I asked following her and taking a seat on the bed, she did as well.

"I guess so." She replied.

"Then why do you look so upset?" I asked, she shrugged. It wasn't like Aqua to be upset, especially when John was involved.

"Rey, he's mad at me. Seeing the look in his eyes before he left was heart-breaking." Her shoulders dropped and she leaned down. "Maybe staying with John was a mistake."

"No, no." I said jumping up from the bed. "You made the right decision staying with John. You love him and he loves you, aqua you did nothing wrong. Rey will get over it, you're a grown woman Aqua, you have to make your own decisions, whether you think it's right or wrong. Follow your instincts, if they told you to be with john, then stick with it.

Aqua nodded her head in understandment. "You're right Trish. I should make my own decisions, if I wanna stay with john I'll stay with him, no questions asked."

"That's right." She walked over and gave me a hug, returned it.

"Thanks Trish."

"Anytime Aq." As we pulled away, I looked towards the bathroom and remembered that Carlito was still in the room. "Um, you wanna go downstairs and get some breakfast?"

"Sure, I'm starved." I smiled as I quickly grabbed my jacket and left downstairs with Aq.

Later that night I was seated with Victoria and Christy in the Women's Locker room. Aqua was at the hotel unpacking the rest of her things. I was so happy everything was somewhat going back to normal, just like old. Earlier at lunch aqua couldn't stop talking about all the things her and john did when she came back. We were interrupted when he called my cell, I couldn't keep the smile off my face as I watched aqua talk to him over the phone. They really were meant for each other, seeing the sparkle in her eyes was so heart-warming, my job had been done. Damn I'm good.

"I still can't believe Tony paired you with Carlito, he's such an asshole." Victoria stated as she took a sip from her water bottle. Tony was the road agent on the Raw brand he's also in charge of which superstars are road partners. I made a mental note to kick his ass when I had the chance.

"Newbie's are always a little salty. Maybe after a few weeks he'll start to settle down and learn his place." Christy replied with a shrugged.

"I hope so, I don't know how much more of this I can take, why don't they ever partner me up with the veterans?" Vicky and Christy both shrugged, I sighed and stood up from the couch. "Let's go down to the cafeteria and see what catering brought in."

"I heard they were bringing some chicken in for some of the guys." Christy said as we made are way down the hall.

"Hmm, maybe we can sneak a little before the guys show up." I thought imagining the juicy chicken sliding down my throat, that thought just made me more hungry.

"Screw some chicken I feel like eating a hamburger." Vicky responded. As I was walking into the cafeteria something immediately caught my attention. I quickly left and hid behind the wall pulling vicky and christy with me.

"What, what happened?" Vicky asked obviously shocked by my cautious behavior.

"That son ova bitch." I said ignoring Victoria's question. I looked a bit closer to make sure I was looking at the right person, I was.

"Is it Carlito again?" Christy asked.

I stared on at the heart-breaking scene before my hazel eyes. "Worse." My voice was visibly shaking as if I was about to cry, truth is I was. Christy and Victoria peered around to wall to look inside. Their mouths dropped and I could see they were just as upset as I was.

Sitting at one of the tables was none other than John Cena and sitting on top of him was Ashley Massaro, they were making out right there clear as day. My insides were soon boiling as anger rushed over me, no doubt if Aqua were to see this she would be crushed, there's no telling how see would react.

"I thought you said John told you him and Aqua were back together." Vicky whispered.

"That's what's pissing me off." I said as my fist balled up in rage. "He did."
