It was Thursday. John's barbecue was this Saturday. Kelsey was going to ask Zack if he wanted to go when she got home from work. She and Angela had just walked through the door.

"Hi guys." Zack said.

"Hi honey."

"Hi daddy." Angela said.

"Angela go in your room and watch TV." "I'll call you when your bath water's ready."

"Ok mommy." She went in her room.

Kelsey sat next to Zack on the couch. They kissed.

"How was work?" Zack asked.

"Fine." "Zack do you wanna go to a barbecue on Saturday?"

"If it's at Brittany's house, no." "You know we don't get along."

"No, it's not a Brittany's house."

"Where is it?"

"I've made a new friend."

"Someone at work?"

"You won't believe it when I tell you." "Well you know who John Cena is."

"Yeah." "You have a crush on him." He said jokingly.

"I do not." She said smiling.

"I thought John Cena lived on the other side of the country."

"He has a house in Massachusetts but he lives right here in Tampa."

"Wait, how do you even know him?"

"Remember when I went to Raw a couple months ago?"

"Yeah."

"On the way home me and Brittany stopped at a bar." "John was there and we got to talking." "Then a week later he came into the diner and I was his waitress." "That's when he told me he lives here." "He was at the beach the other day and invited all of us to the barbecue." "So, do you wanna go?"

"Sure let's go."

"Ok."

On Saturday John text the directions to his house to Kelsey. They drove for an hour to what was obviously a part of town for the rich. The types of houses they saw they'd only ever seen before in the movies. They felt out of place. John told them to just come straight into the backyard when they got there. They went into the backyard. John saw them. He went over to them.

"Hi guys." John said.

"Hi Ohn." Angela said.

"Hi Angela." "Hi Kelsey."

"Hi John." Kelsey said.

"You must be Zack." John said looking at Zack.

"Yeah." They shook hands. "Nice place you got here."

"Thanks." "It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you to."

"You guys can help yourselves you anything to eat or drink."

"Mommy I hungry." Angela said.

"Here I'll take you over to the food."

"What do you want baby?" Kelsey asked turning to Zack.

"A burger and a beer." Zack said. "I'm gonna go sit down."

"Ok."

Kelsey, Angela and John went over to the food.

"Angela what do you want?" Kelsey asked.

"Hot dog please."

"How are you gonna carry three plates of food?" John asked.

"I'm gonna get Angela's and Zack's then come back for mine. Kelsey said.

"I'm glad you guys could make it." "If you ever wanna give your mom a break some days I can watch Angela for you." "As long as I have that day off."

"Ok." John's brother Dan went up to them.

"Kelsey this is my brother Dan he's in town for the weekend."

"Hi." Kelsey said.

"Hi Kelsey." Dan said. "I've heard a lot about you."

A little bit later John and Dan were in the kitchen. John could see Kelsey from the window.

"Quit torturing yourself man." Dan said.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"John, Kelsey has a boyfriend and a kid with him."

"I know that."

"You need to stop this."

"Stop what?"

"Stop spending time with her, inviting her to barbecues, contact with her period."

"Dan we're friends."

"That's bullshit." "You want a hell of a lot more then that with her and you know it." "Ever since I've been here it's been Kelsey this, Kelsey that." "Kelsey, Kelsey, Kelsey."

"I admit I like her."

"I know."

"Her boyfriend if you even wanna call him that, I call him a pathetic excuse for a man." "He treats her like dirt and it's not right." "She deserves so much better." "Her and Angela both."

"You might be right but John she chooses to stay with him." "I don't think there's any changing her mind."

Later that night Kelsey and were at home. They'd just gotten in bed

"I had fun today."

"Mm-hmm."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"What?"

"He likes you."

"John?"

"Yeah."

"Zack, we're friends."

"Come on Kelsey, are you blind?" "Anyone can tell he doesn't just want you as a friend."

"That's not true." "Even if it were you don't have to worry." "Zack, I love you." "I'd never break up our family." "You don't have to be jealous."

"I just don't wanna lose you baby."

"You'll never lose me." "I promise." They kissed.
