"Hey Shorty" the familiar voice of John Cena called as I headed to the curtain for my segment on RAW. "Hi John" I greeted sending him a slight smile, rolling my eyes as Nikki immediately latched onto his arm. "Johnny, how come you don't have a nickname like that for me?" she asked, her nasally voice making my ears bleed "Because he actually likes me" I answered for him walking out with a wave behind me, missing whatever she screeched as my music exploded over the speakers joined by the cheers and the few boos from the crowd. "Echo, why are you not dressed to wrestle?" Stephanie asked her arms crossed over her chest, watching me as I slowly walked up the steps and got into the ring handing her a sheet of paper. "I'm on strict orders of no physical activity until at least next week's Smackdown, you see when you told Nikki to pull my leg out from underneath me last week my head hit the turnbuckle and gave me a concussion. So really, it's YOUR fault that I can't compete until next week" I shrugged smirking as the crowd started booing loudly. "Well, I can't do anything since this is indeed signed by a doctor, so we'll compromise since I had matches set up for you tonight, Thursday and next Monday, you'll face all three of these women in an elimination match next week on Smackdown" she yelled as Nikki, Brie and Alicia walked onto the stage and did a few twirls and bows. Nodding I climbed out of the ring and walked up the ramp pausing between the Bella Twins and laughing manically before I pushed my way through the curtains, winking at John before he was once again attacked by Nikki. 'I'll see you later' he mouthed before I walked off to catering deciding to hang out there until the show was over.
"So when are you and John just going to tell everyone you're together?" Randy whispered as I flopped onto his lap and curled into him. "Whenever he breaks it off with Nikki, until then John and I don't interact outside of work" I shrugged, both of us knowing it was the biggest lie ever but not wanting anyone to overhear and start spreading it around. "YOU! THIS IS YOUR FAULT" Nikki's voice screamed as she stomped into catering and over to me slapping me soundly on the cheek. The crack of skin meeting skin silencing everyone as John caught up to her and pushed her away "No, Nikki this is your fault. Everything has to be made this giant scene when it comes to you." He sighed his hands on his hips as I rubbed my cheek to try and ease the sting. "When Dolph was flirting with you, it was this huge drawn out thing that ended up ME being in the wrong because I didn't freak out and attack him. When Cassie beat you for the Diva's Championship you made this huge scene about how she cheated or how you were so sure she bribed the referee." He listed off "This has been a long time coming honestly. It has nothing to do with Cassie and everything to do with you." He shrugged brushing her off and walking away, my eyes trailing after him as Nikki ran out screaming and crying, Dolph not far behind her. "Go talk to him" Randy smirked pushing me up and smacking my ass before I got too far away. I walked towards the private locker rooms and found John's knocking softly and waiting for the ok before I entered to see him with his head in his hands.
"Wanna hang out at the hotel? You seem like you could use some down time" I sighed sitting beside him only for him to pull me onto his lap and cuddle me close. "No more Randy okay?" he whispered looking at me with tear filled eyes. "No more Randy. I told you baby, as soon as you figured out what was happening I was either all yours or gone." I murmured pressing my lips to his forehead "Let's head back to the hotel, we aren't needed anymore" I sighed waiting for him to grab his things before I went and got mine, meeting him at his rental car afterwards. "Movies, pizza, shower and cuddles?" I asked rubbing his hand with my thumb "Movies, pizza, bath, cuddles" he changed it slightly a smile on his lips, I rolled my eyes but couldn't help and smile at him and how the little things meant so much to him. "Come on Champ" I grinned climbing out of the rental and walking inside with him, "Mine or yours?" I asked as we got on the elevator and waited for it to reach our floor "Yours, I'm sharing with Randy again." He muttered waiting for me to start walking before he followed. "Aren't you sharing with one of the girls?" he asked looking around the room, empty except for my things and the two of us. "No, I've been traveling alone for a while, since Nikki's started bitching to everyone about me actually" I shrugged dropping my bag and kicking off my shoes. "I thought it was against policy to travel alone" he whispered wrapping his arms around my waist and nuzzling his face into my neck.
"It is, but what the company doesn't know won't hurt them" I whispered back, my breath hitching when he bit down on a particularly sensitive spot. "It could hurt you though, travel with me from now on" he mumbled his voice a rumble so close to my ear. "What about Nikki?" I asked curious as to why he thought that would be a good idea when they just broke up. "You and Randy are close, everyone backstage knows that, Randy and I travel together, it's completely coincidental." He shrugged before he went back to biting and nipping at the expanse of skin not covered by my strapless dress. "But" I prodded knowing he had more to say "No more sleeping together, no more kissing, no more cuddling" he growled punctuating each no with a bite. "What about keeping up appearances" I sighed tilting my neck to give him more room as my dress dropped from my body, his fingertips dancing across the smooth skin of my back. "We'll talk if it comes to that, tonight you are all mine." He smirked spinning me around and slamming our lips together before he was pulling away and heading into the bathroom to start a bath for us.
"You ready to get out love?" he asked quietly his chest rumbling as he spoke making me giggle at the feeling. I hummed in response before carefully climbing out of the lukewarm water, wrapping one of the towels around myself and holding the other out for John to take as he got out. Clothes were always optional for us when we were together so it wasn't a surprise when he simply switched his towel out for boxers before he climbed into bed and ordered a pizza from room service while I pulled on a bra and boy short underwear. "What do you want to watch?" I asked flipping through the movie channels as I crawled into bed beside him wiggling my way underneath his arm. "Whatever you want Shorty" he smirked kissing my forehead before he got up to answer the door "Randy? Hey what's up?" he asked letting the man inside, he looked like he had just run a marathon "Nikki is looking for Cassie, something about finishing what she started in catering." He stated hands on his knees as he caught his breath. "Randy, be a doll please" I sighed knowing we had to make this really believable or Nikki wouldn't stop bothering any of us. "I'll go in the bathroom" John grunted grabbing his clothes from the floor and walking in to the bathroom while Randy pulled off his clothes just as another knock sounded. This time it was room service so thanking and tipping them I sat the pizza off to the side before letting Randy mess up my hair. I pulled off my bra and underwear and wrapped the sheet around my body as another knock sounded this time accompanied by Nikki's voice shrieking my name. "Just one second" I called back squealing as Randy placed a rough kiss to my lips before he laid in bed and pulled the blankets over himself.
"Can I help you?" I asked as politely as possible when I opened the door to see Nikki standing there dressed for the club. "I know you and John are sleeping together, you stupid fucking whore" she screamed reaching up to slap me, but this time I saw it coming and stopped it. "I'm not sleeping with John" I sighed dropping her arm as she glared at me obviously not believing me "Don't believe me fine" I shrugged opening the door further and moving out of the way so she could see Randy propped up in bed messing around on his phone. "Oh…oh my god…I'm so sorry Cassie. I just, you've been in John's life since he started and you guys used to mess around" she was rambling now "Nikki, I get it, I do love John he's been my best friend since we both started but I don't mess around with guy's in relationships." I assured, and it was true John and I hadn't slept together at all during his and Nikki's relationship because neither of us believed in cheating. "Well…I'm going out with the girls so…I'll see you around" she whispered backing out of the room and closing the door. "You and John really never?" Randy asked thrusting his hips to emphasize his point. "No, that's why you came in" I shrugged half serious but half joking as he rolled his eyes and grinned "I knew you just wanted me for my body." He laughed getting up and striking a pose "Yeah baby, you keep doing that you'll get all the ladies" I teased handing him his clothes and hugging him. "I'm actually going to call up a friend, she lives about 20 minutes away. So if you need me and I don't answer" he faded off biting his lip "I'll see you tomorrow" I grinned kissing his cheek and walking him to the door waving as he left.
"You and Randy done?" John asked walking out of the bathroom fully dressed, I frowned at how angry he looked but nodded. "Yeah he said something about calling a friend and then he walked out." I paused walking over to the man and wrapping my arms around his neck, waiting until he had wrapped his arms around me to continue. "I meant what I said John, I love you. Randy and I are done, it's you and me now." I whispered leaning up to press our lips together as he slowly returned the kiss "You're single, I'm single, we've both been waiting a long time" I whispered pulling his shirt up and over his head, squealing when he picked me up and tossed me on the bed quickly ridding himself of the rest of his clothes before he joined me. Neither of us got much sleep that night after making up for the many months he had been with Nikki, when we showed up to get breakfast with Randy, he looked like he got even less sleep.
