**THANK YOU for the reviews! I hope you continue the story!**

John went down to load up on the continental breakfast at the hotel and ran into his buddies Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. "Wassup guys?"

"Hey Cena," They both replied.

"So…guess who's coming into town?" John asked.

Randy shrugged as he doused his waffle in syrup. Cody asked, "Your parents?"

"Nope, my girlfriend Sadie."

"No way! That's great! I can't wait to meet the girl that has turned John into goo." Randy teased.

"Oh! That's cool. Are we all going out tonight?" Cody asked as he took a bite.

"Well…maybe. Probably. Although, there is something about Sadie you guys should know about before she gets here." John said nervously.

"What's wrong with her, she got 3 tits?" Cody asked

"400lbs?" Randy suggested

"No rhythm?"

"Dresses like a nerd?"

"STOP!" John said harshly. "Damn, the two of you suck. There's nothing wrong with her…she's just Deaf."

"WHAT?!" Cody exclaimed. "You're dating a Deaf chick?"

Randy practically choked on his bite, "John…seriously. I know divorce was hard on you…but there are single girls that can hear that you could be dating."

"Why haven't you said shit to us about this before now?" Cody questioned.

"It was a shock to me too, but honestly she's really great. And I didn't bring it up because I didn't want you guys to judge her on being Deaf versus the person she is. Sadie has a wonderful heart and is a blast to be around." John said defensively.

Both guys shook their head. "And what does your family think about all of this?" Randy asked in heavily sarcastic tone.

"My family is very supportive. They were skeptical at first, but now they're very happy for me. They can't wait to meet her. And in fact, they are even going to look into a community ed class to learn a little bit of sign language for when they meet her." John shot back.

"Wow! I'm pretty fuckin' shocked that your parents are into this." Cody replied. "But hey, this is your life. You know I'm here no matter what."

"Yeah dude, you know I've got your back." Randy replied.

"Thanks, I appreciate that. Sadie will be coming with for all of the weekend festivities and I can't wait for her to really see and understand this side of my life." John said as he finished off his food. "So I can count on you guys to be nice and friendly with her."

They both nodded and talked about Sadie a bit more, then John headed back to his room to clean it up and get ready.

What seemed like eternity later, John finally got the text that Sadie was down in the lobby of the hotel. John quickly responded that he was on his way down and practically flew out of his hotel room to head downstairs.

Sadie was looking at the news board when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and smiled when her eyes locked with his.

John waved hi and Sadie rushed to him and held him. They kissed sweetly for a minute or two, and then finally separated.

"I'm so glad that you're here! I've missed you so much." John said to her.

"I've missed you too. It's so good to see you in person and not just on a screen." She signed as she spoke.

John had to admit, she was kind of hard to understand, but the more he watched her sign, the more he was learning. He had worked very hard to convince her that speaking around him even if they were out in public didn't embarrass him. He enjoyed hearing the sound of her voice.

"I just got done with an interview and a short meet and greet at the station. If you're hungry, we could go out to lunch with a couple of my buddies and maybe their girlfriend and wife. I don't know if they're here yet or not." John offered.

Sadie smiled and nodded as she signed, "Sure, I'd like to meet your friends."

"Great, let's get up to my room so you can put your stuff away and freshen up as you want."

Sadie signed ok and took John put his arm around her and held her close as they headed to the elevator.

"What do you think this chick is going to be like?" Cody asked Randy.

"No fuckin' clue dude. I wonder if she's just as John described her, or if it's true that love is blind." Randy replied as he shook his head.

"I just hope John knows what he's doing. This is pretty big and he's really fallen for this girl. I think it'll be good for us to meet her and feel her out a bit to see if this is legit or if this is all one big game and maybe she's a scam artist." Cody replied in a concerned tone. He wasn't trying to be an ass, but he was worried about John.

Randy nodded, "Yeah, I know he was pretty upset about his divorce. But I think it helps that he didn't rush into this. Today will give us a good idea."

John and Sadie walked to Randy's room and John knocked on the door. Randy opened up the door and smiled and waved, "Hey, come on in!"

"Randy, Cody…this is Sadie." John said introducing everyone. Then he turned to Sadie and fingerspelled their names to her as he spoke, "Sadie, this is Randy and Cody."

"Nice to meet you both." Sadie spoke shyly as she signed and then she shook their hands.

"Let's head out to lunch so we don't run too late for the ceremony." John suggested.

Randy and Cody grabbed their coats and shot each other looks as John and Sadie walked out to the hallway. They weren't sure what to expect on this date.

**How do you think it'll go? Will Sadie win them over? What will the media think when John arrives to the Hall of Fame ceremony with his girlfriend who happens to be Deaf? Please read and review! Next chapter will be next Tuesday; we're going camping for the weekend. Thanks!**
