Well here is Chapter 4 where all the stuff happens! Hope you like!
It was nearing 6 pm and Maria was running around her room trying to figure out what to wear.
"Maria will you calm down? You're making me dizzy with all your running around."said Torrie looking at her friend as if she was crazy.
"Sorry it's just that I have no clue what to wear. I want to look nice tonight but not to dressy! But not to dressed down, but not..."
"Ok I get it but calm down you have time John's not picking you until 8 so calm down. Look I'll help you." Torrie said walking over to her suitcase and helping her pick out something to where. "How about this?" she held up white skirt with a turquoise halter top.
"That's really cute but I don't have any shoes to wear with that."
Torrie smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I have shoes for you. Here you get dressed while I go get the shoes from my room."
Maria smiled after Torries left 'Just stay calm everything will be fine.' she thought to herself. Her mind couldn't help but go back to what fill said causing her smile to fade. 'What if Phil really does try something? John said he'll be there for me. But what if they hurt him?' She shook her head. She couldn't think those thoughts. She knew John could hold his own in and out the ring. She knew he perfectly capable to take care of himself. But the thought of him taking care of her made her smile. 'I can't let Phil get to me. I can take care of myself. I'll be fine.' she said confidently to herself. She may not have been the best fighter but she can always be trained.
Torrie came walking in the with turquoise shoes to match Maria's outfit. "Will this work?"
Maria smiled "Hell yea girl! those are so cute. Thanks so much Tor."
"No prob!"
Maria put a little turquoise eyeshadow, some eyeliner, and some lip gloss on to finish her look. Her hair was straight down. She eamined herself in the mirror and felt like she was ready. She put some things in her white purse. Torrie looked at her and gave her a two thumbs up.
It was almost 8 and Maria was finishing her look when she heard someone knock. "Wow he's early! How do I look?"
"You look great! Have a great time tonight and I want to know everything tomorrow k?"
Maria smiled, "Of course and thanks for the shoes. I must admit I do look hella good tonight!"
Torrie laughed as Maria opened the door to see John dressed in his regular clothes. She still thinked he looked sexy.
"Hey you look great! You ready to go?" John said looking her up and down.
"Yea let's go. See you later Tor!" they both waved.
As they stepped on the elevator Maria looked upat him and asked, "So where are we going?"
"I found a quiet little resturaunt so we won't be bothered. I hear the food's great there."
"Ok sounds good" Maria smiled.
The ride there was silent. Both didn't know what to say. They were happy to be together but still got butterflies when around each other.
When they arrived John had the car valeted. They walked in and John went to the front desk. "Hi I made reservations. Cena party of 2." The waiter nodded his head and lead the two to a table. They sat down and oredere their drinks. "So what are you're plans coming up this week?"
"I don't know. We have a couple houseshoes this week. I wanted to go home for a couple of days but figure that's impossible. I'll just probably rent a few movies and wathc them on my off time. What about you?"
"Probably the same. You know we can keep each other company." she looked up from her menu and looked into his baby blues. "You know if you want to?"
"Yea that sounds good" He grabbed her hand across the table and lightly rubbed little circles on the top. She smiled. They loved being together. When they were together nothing else mattered. They're the only people in the world at that moment.
Thorughout the dinner they continued to talked. About an hour and a half later the two decided to leave. John payed the bill as they left. John didn't want the night to end so asked if she wanted to go to the beach and walk. Maria quickly said yes. When they arrived they walked along the beach holding hands.
Maria was the first to speak," John tonight was amazing! Thank you for showing me a good time. Especially with all that's going on around here."
"Yea you're right! But I'm happy to do anything for you Maria. My lady gets whatever she wants!" Maria smiled. "But I don't want you to worry about Phil or me. I can handle myself and Phil is no threat to me. Trust me. I'll always be here for you know that!" They stopped walking and just stared out into the ocean.
"It's so beautiful" Maria said. She looked up at John as he turned to look at her. Their lips met in a passionate kiss. They kissed for what seemed like hours but what was only minutes. They soon decided to head back to the hotel. When they arrived John walked Maria up to her room. As she was about to open the door she turned to John, "Thank you much for tonight. I had a great time."
John leaned in and gave her kiss goodnight. Which resulted to more little kisses.
"John would you like to come in?" Maria asked hoping she wasn't being to forward.
"Sure" John said as he entered her room. Maria had been so happy that night that she forgot about much of a mess she had left in her room before he arrived to pick her up. "Sorry about the mess I just had a hard trying to figure out what to wear tonigh."
"Don't worry about it, my room doesn't look the best either." They both laughed and sat down on the couch. They just wanted to hold each other forever. They watched a little T.V. They soon became bored of wathcing the tv. Maria sighed. John looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing it's just there's nothing on tv"
"Yea I know" John smiled at her, "I know something that can keep us occupied" he said as he leaned down and kissed her. She returned the kiss. They began a little make out session. John soon picked Maria up and took her to the bed. Laying her down softly he continued to kiss her. He went fron her lips to her cheeks, neck, and back up to her lips. She pulled on his shirt. They broke their kiss momentarily to get his shirt off. He untied her haltor and it was on the floor in seconds. She moaned in his mouth as his hands traveled down her body to her skirt. Once off she felt for his belt and undid his jeans thowing them on the floor. They enjoyed each others company that night. In more ways than one. They were in heaven and planned to be there all night long.
Throughtout the week John and Maria went out when they didn't have a house show. They started sharing the same room. They were so happy and everyone was happy for them accept two people.
The next week on Raw John had a match with Edge for rematch for the WWE Championship. He and Maria shared a locker room. He asked Maria to come ringside with him. She gladly accepted, but at the moment she was in the catering room with Torrie and Lillian.
"So how are things with you and John?" Lillian asked.
"Great" Maria said " I'm so happy! Wait a minute why are you asking me about my relationship? I hear someone has a cruch on a certain 'Animal'?"
Lillian blushed. "Tha's right and I he's coming to Raw!" Torrie said.
"Ok so I like Dave" Lillian admitted.
Torrie looked at her and said, "That's not all!. What did you tell me before Maria came in?"
"What is it?" Maria said curiously.
Lillian looked up, "He asked me to dinner the other night on his last night of Smackdown."
"Oh my gosh that's so sweet!" Maria said practically jumping in her chair.
Just then John, Randy, and Batista walked into the catering and spotting the girls. They joined them, John sitting with Maria, Randy sitting with Torrie, and Batista sitting with Lillian. "So what are you ladies talking about?" Randy asked.
"Nothing you guys need to know." Torrie said kissing him.
"Whatever" Randy said.
"So Dave what time tonight do make your appearance on Raw?" John asked.
"Right after your match with Edge." he answered.
"Ok cool. Speaking of which I need to go start getting ready for my match. Maria you coming?"
"Yea, I'll see you guys later!" she said as her and John made their way back to his locker room.
When they left Torrie looked abck at everyone with a serious look on her face."Hey remember when I told you about what Phil said to Maria last week?" she said to Randy. He nodded. Lillian and Dave looked confused. Torrie filled them in on the story about what happened between Maria and Phil. "Well I have a bad feeling about tonight. I didn't want to say anything while Maria was here to scare her, but I think Phil may try something tonight."
And Torrie was right. Somewhere in the other side of the arena Phil and Mickie were talking and laughing together. "Ok are you ready?" Mickie shook her head. "Good tonight is just phase one. Tonight we'll see what we're dealing with and we'll find out what we need to do in order to take out John and make Maria come back to me."
"What if this doesn't work?" Mickie asked.
Phil looked at her with a 'are you serious look', "Trust me it's going to work." He laughed.
The time came for John's match against Edge. 'My Time Is Now' blasted through the arena as John and Maria walked out together. John did his usual salute as Maria blew kisses to the fans. When they got to the ring John held the ropes open for Maria. The walked around the ring as if they owned the place. Although it was basically true since John was the champ. All of a sudden, "You Think You Know Me..." Edge came walking down to the ring with Lita on his shoulder. He had a determined look on his face. John knew this would be a tough battle but he was ready to fight.
As the match began John took control of the match. He was beating the hell out of Edge. Maria was on the side cheering him on. In the back of her mind she knew something wasn't right. She felt like something was gonna happen. She continued to cheer and stay calm for her and John's sake. During the middle of the match Edge had breifly taken over the match when he raked at John's eyes. The ref gave him a warning. As the match Progressed John eventually got the upper hand. John set up the STFU and made Edge tap, leaving Edge and Lita furious. They Edge was not having it. He got back in the ring and speared John when he turned around. After he and Lita fled the ring and went backstage. Just as they did Phil and Mickie came out. Phil had a chair in his hand and a furious look on his face. Maria turned around and fear struck her heart. John saw them walk down the ramp. He knew he was in trouble just being speared by Edge. He tried to rise to his feet, he made it up slowly just as Phil and Mickie got into the ring.
Maria got in front of John. "Leave us alone I told you I don't want to be with you." she yelled trying to stand up for herself.
"Well that's not what I want." Phil said with an evil smile on his face.
Mickie stepped in front of her and said, "Yea I want John and I always get what I want."
Maria looked at Mickie as if she was crazy. "Are you serious. You're joining Phil to get back at me because you want John? Wow you must be desparate." she laughed. "Well listen 'sweetie' John is mine and there is no way in this liftime that he will want you so you might as well give up now."
Phil looked angry, "Mickie take care of Maria while I handle John right now."
Mickie went to hit Maria. Maria knew a little bit of fighting so she tried to use what she learned. She blocked Mickie's punch and kicked her out of the ring. Happy with what she did she went back to John who was still trying to stay up. "Just leave us alone!" Maria yelled.
"I don't think so" Phil said smiling. Seeing Mickie get back in the ring his smile got bigger. Mickie came up behind Maria and grabbed her by her hair and threw her down to the mat and repeatedly hitting her. Phil took the chance to hit John with the chair. John fell to the mat. He tried to fight back but Phil continued to hit him with the chair. After many hit Phil looked over at Maria who was on the mat holding her head from when Mickie hit her. He looked at her with a smile. He raised the chair in the air to hit her. John saw this and all he thought about was getting her out of there and to safety. He was somehow able to get up and charge Phil from behind just as he was about to it Maria with the chair. As this happened the crowd begen to scream as Randy Orton, Batista, and Torrie came runnig down to the ring. Randy and Batista started to beat Phil up and Torrie went to beat Maria up. Mickie had fled to the back when she saw the other wrestlers coming to the ring.
John went to check on Maria. "Are you ok?" she nodded even though her head was killing her. Torrie took her back stage.
Phil was able to role out the ring before being RKO'd by Randy. He walked backwards cursing at the wrestlers in the ring. "I'LL GET YOU BACK!" He yelled. 'If that's the way they want it so be it.' It seems I have to get Maria and John alone and I have just the thing to do it' he thought.
John got to the back and went to his locker to find Maria. When he arrived there he saw his locker room was empty. He then went to check the trainers. There he saw Maria getting bandaged up from recieving a cut on her head from Mickie. "Are you ok?" she nodded.
"I'll be fine. I just need a shower and a good night's sleep. My head hurts so bad."
With that said when the trainer finished with Maria he checked up on John. After he was done they left the arena and headed back to their hotel. When they arrived to their hotel room. John plopped down on the bed and sighed. He was sore from his head to his toes. Maria went to take a shower as he turned the tv on a began touch watch the news. Maria came out dressed in her spongebob pajama bottoms and a wife beater. John then went to take a shower. He came out in boxers. they laid down and just stared at each other for a little bit.
Breaking the silence John said, "Hey you ok?"
"John I'm fine. Other than a scratch on my head I'll be fine. Don't worry about me."
"I know. You're a strong woman and can handle yourself but I still want you to be careful. Phils is not gonna stop to get you. I love you and I don't want to lose you." John admitted.
Maria realized what he said, "You love me?"
John shook his head, "More than anything in this world"
Maria smiled and kissed him. "I love you too. And trust me there is nothing Phil can do to take me away from you."
They laid there in each other's arms soon falling asleep. They only dreamnt good things that night knowing they were together and loved each other.
Well that's chapter! More drama to come soon! Please Review! Thanks! I'm about to go watch Summerslam soon!
