Chapter 8: Falling in love…is hard on the back
As Alexis carefully covered the Boston native, to her surprise he woke up and an unexpected incident occurred.
"What are you doing?" John asked Alexis as he opened his eyes.
Alexis was startled and tripped and using his quick reflexes and upper body strength, John caught Alexis and they were inches apart.
For the first time since they met, John stared at Alexis. He hardly ever got a chance to notice how incredibly beautiful she was. She had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen and he could get lost in them. Whilst John stared at Alex, she acted out of impulse and their lips met.
John was stunned but he gave in. The two lip-locked for about 2 minutes but it felt like forever. Once they broke the kiss the two just laughed at what just happened between them and John still had Alexis in his arms.
"Guys…we're back!" Karen yelled, as Dave and her entered the room.
Immediately John dropped Alexis on the floor and there was a huge THUD!! Alex then hit John hard on his hand.
"Ouch! What was that for?" John asked surprised at Alexis's sudden reaction.
"You dropped me you moron!" Alex yelled and left the lounge as she went into her room.
"Well nothings changed. The two of them still hate each other and you were worried. See Karen they're fine." Batista stated as Karen showed him a monkey face.
"Anyways night John. We're going to bed." Batista told his friend.
"Aight, night Dave and Karen!" John yelled from the lounge.
"Damn, what's happening!" John said to himself as he remembered the encounter that he had with Alexis.
The entire night John was tossing and turning, thinking about Alexis, the coffee incident, the first time they fought and now the kiss. He couldn't stop thinking about her. The more he tried not to; the more she was in his thoughts. John woke up and decided to pay Alex a little visit in her room. John knocked on her door about 6 times and then finally the door swung open.
"Hey…um…Alex…we need to talk?" John told a dazed and confused Alexis Triton.
"John, I don't wanna talk. We can talk tomorrow okay. I need to get some sleep. Oh and by the way your bed is dressed!" Alexis grumbled, as she pretended to be asleep. John decided to sleep in the other bed, which was already prepared for him.
Thoughts of Alex kept running in his mind, and the very fact that they were sleeping in the same room, made matters worse. John just stared at Alex from his side of the room and he thought to himself, that she looked gorgeous when she was asleep.
Alex could sense John's eyes on her and she decided to turn the other side, so that her back faced him. Little did John know that Alexis was thinking about the entire situation she got herself into.
"Why did I kiss him? What's wrong with me? Didn't I learn my lesson before with Keith? Why can't I get John outta my head?" All these thoughts and questions were ringing in Alex's head and she tried her best to ignore the fact that something existed between the two of them.
Mean while in Karen and Batista's room…
"Dave!" Karen woke up and went to the bed Dave was sleeping on.
"Dave…Dave, wake up!" She said shaking him.
"Uhm… what's wrong honey?" Dave asked Karen groggily.
"John's not in the lounge and well, tonight the two of them are sharing a room together… and well…um… I think that they either strangled each other or worse…so, can you check on them?" Karen stated worried.
"I'm sure everything is ok!" Dave stated, giving Karen a reassuring kiss on her forehead, then he went back to sleep. "Fine if Dave doesn't want to see if their still alive, I'll go!" Karen stated, as she walked out of her room to the room that John and Alex were in.
Alexis and John both couldn't sleep. John kept tossing and turning and Alexis was listening to her ipod, which was blasted, that contributed to John's insomnia. John decided that he had enough. He needed to get some sleep and when he wanted to talk to her, she was so sleepy and now she was listening to music. John woke up, went to Alex's bed side, pulled out her earphones, put the ipod on the nightstand, said good night and went back to sleep.
Alex was upset that John had the nerves to do that to her. She picked up her pillow, walked to John's bedside and just before she could hit him on the head, the lights went on and there was Karen, staring at her friend shocked and furious.
Chapter 9: You have got to be kidding!
"Alex! Out…now!!" Karen yelled at her best friend.
"Ok…" Alexis said as she dragged her feet end her pillow, like a five year old who had lost his TV time. John couldn't help but laugh a little. " She looks cute!" john thought to himself.
"What was that, Alexis Triton?" Karen asked her friend.
"It…um…he started it!" Alexis yelled as John came out of the room.
"John care to explain?" Karen asked John as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Well…um…it was my fault!" John said. His eyes met with Alexis and she was stunned yet she smiled at him slightly. Karen just looked at John and told him to continue.
"Alex was sleeping and so was I and then…" John thought for a second and then decided to tell Karen the rest.
"Then Alex… well… Um…how do you say this…Alex started snoring!" John said with a devious grin plastered on his face.
"I did not!" Alexis spat at John.
"Well Alex, it's understandable. Many people snore…but you… you sound like an elephant who-" John was cut of, as Alex jumped on top of him and started pounding him. Karen managed to stop the whole thing as Dave came to her rescue.
"You two act like children! You both need to grow up!" Karen yelled at John and Alexis. Dave then suggested that he and John would be roommates and Karen and Alex could be on the other room, so that nobody got hurt.
While lying in bed Alex couldn't get over what John said. She didn't snore, or did she? With that troubling her she decided to ask her best friend for her opinion.
"Karen, do I snore?" Alex asked optimistically, hoping that the answer was no.
"No… you don't! You just jump a lot, play loud music and asks stupid, meaningless questions at 3 o clock in the morning." Karen said as she turned to face her long-time friend.
"Alex…can I ask you a question?" Karen asked, as she stared at her friend intently.
"Yeah sure…what's up?" Alex said facing Karen.
"Since when did you care about what other people think, let alone what John Cena thinks?" Her friends thought provoking question had Alexis dumbfounded. Karen was right! She never really cared what people thought or said about her. Her life was hers. No one could change the way she felt about certain aspects, or make her to actually worry or care if the outfit she ware were all black, but John Cena had her changing so quickly, and yet she hardly even took notice.
"Oh, I just wanted to know…didn't want to keep you up all night. Night Karen." Alexis said as she placed her head on her pillow and drifted off to sleep
