Dannie woke up the next morning. She opened her eyes and looked at John. She was glad his injury wasn't that serious. John opened his eyes.
"Morning." He said.
"Morning." "How are you feeling?"
"It's still a little sore but I'll be alright."
"Good."
"It's so sweet of you to be worried." He said smiling.
"Oh, shut up." She said smiling back.
"I think we can safely say you like me."
"Of course." "I like all my friends."
"I like all my friends to." "None of them are as beautiful as you are."
"Do you normally compliment your friends like that?"
"Only the ones I really care about."
"It took me awhile to see it but you're a really sweet guy."
"I know."
"Ha ha."
"You're a great woman." "I'm glad you let me see these other sides to you." "I like them a lot."
"Did you ever think you'd be friends with the sister of the man you hate?"
"No." "I can see now that you're not like him."
"Dwayne's a good guy John." "He is."
"Well of course he is to you." "You're his sister."
"You just don't know him the way I do."
"I know all I need to know."
Dannie's cell phone started to ring. She went out to the living room where her purse was to get her phone.
"Hello." She said. "Hi Simone." "How are you?"
Dannie talked for a few minutes then went back into the bedroom. She sat up in bed next to John.
"That was my niece." Dannie said.
"You have a niece?"
"Yeah." "You didn't know Dwayne had a daughter?"
"Oh yeah, he does have a daughter." "What's her name?
"Simone."
"Do you have any pictures of her?"
"Yeah." She pulled up a picture on her phone. "This is her."
"She's pretty." "How old?"
"Twelve." "It seems like she was only a baby yesterday." "I was eighteen when she was born."
"You ever think about having kids?"
"Eventually." "I've never had that serious of a relationship." "I was engaged once but I was just a kid."
"I'd say an engagement is a pretty serious thing."
"I was only eighteen." "My boyfriend proposed to me the day we graduated high school." "I stupidly said yes."
"What did your parents think about that?"
"They were happy they loved Lucas and so did Dwayne." "I started dating Lucas our sophomore year." "I really loved him."
"So what happened?" "Did he cheat on you?"
"No nothing like that." "After high school he joined the Marines." "After a year the strain of the long distance relationship took it's toll." "We amiably decided to break up." "There was no hard feelings between us."
"Where is he now?
"Last I heard he was still in the Marines." "I haven't seen him in eleven years."
"Was he cute?"
"Yeah."
"Cuter then me?"
"Who said I thought you were cute?" She said jokingly and smiling.
"Ouch Dannie that hurts."
"I mean sure you're fantastic in bed." "I don't know about cute though."
"Really, fantastic huh?" He said smiling.
"Yes." "You're pretty cute to."
"Dannie are you flirting with me?"
"No." "Just giving you a compliment."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"I've been meaning to ask you." "Is your name short for anything?"
"Yeah." "My real name is Danielle." "Danielle Alexandria Johnson."
"That's a pretty name."
"Thanks." "Well I gotta go."
"Why?"
"Our flight for Seattle leaves soon and I have to pack."
"Once we get to Seattle wanna go to lunch?"
"You shouldn't be on your knee that much."
"My knee will be fine." "Stop worrying."
"I'm not worried." "I'll meet you in the lobby after I check into the hotel."
"Alright."
John walked Dannie to the door. They hugged.
"See you in a few hours." He said.
"Ok bye."
"Bye."
A few hours later Dannie was in Seattle at the hotel. She was in the lobby waiting for John.
"Hey." Natalya said coming up to her. "What are you doing?"
"I'm waiting for John." "We're going to lunch."
"Aw." "You two have a date?"
"It's not a date."
"Yes it is."
"No it's not." "We're just friends."
"Yeah, friends with benefits." Natalya said smiling.
"No." "No more benefits." "I've cut off the benefits."
"Right."
"No really." "We slept in the same bed last night and didn't do anything."
"Why did you sleep in the same bed last night?"
"After he hurt his knee I just wanted to make sure he was alright."
"Aw, you were worried about him."
"I was not." "When I hurt my ankle he was there for me." "It seemed only fair that I would be there for him."
"Uh-huh."
"What?"
"I always knew you two were attracted to each other." "I didn't think I'd see the day that Dannie Johnson and John Cena fell in love."
"We are not in love Nattie, ok?" "We're friends, just friends that's all."
"Who are you trying to convince? "Me?" "Or yourself?" "Look." "Go." "Have a good time." "I'll see you later."
"Ok." Natalya walked away.
A few minutes later John came up to Dannie.
"Ready to go?" John asked.
"Yeah."
Later that night Dannie was bored. She decided to go to John's room. She knocked on the door. He answered it. He was dressed in workout clothes
"Hi." Dannie said.
"Hi."
"Can I come in?"
"Sure. She went in. "Missed me huh?"
"No." "I was just bored so I thought I'd come by and see what you were doing."
"I'm about to go down to the gym."
"You can't go down to the gym."
"Why not?"
"The trainer said not to put any extra stress on your knee."
"My knee will be fine." "I'm SuperCena, remember?"
"Well why would you wanna put your hands all over weights, when you can put your hands all over me instead?"
"I thought you said no more sex?"
"I'm willing to forget about that for the night."
"You just don't want me to go to the gym."
"You're right I don't." She walked up to him. "You'd rather go to the gym…She kissed him. instead of having sex with me?" She grinded against him. He groaned. "That's what I thought." She broke the kiss. "All you have to do is come get me." She unzipped her jeans. She began to slowly pull them down before disappearing into the bedroom. John followed her. When he got in the room her jeans were completely off. She was naked from the waist down. John went to her. They kissed. She took off his shirt and shorts. "Lay down." He laid down. "I know you like to be on top." She said as she got on top of him. "So you don't get hurt I have to be." "I promise it'll be just as good." She took off her shirt. She noticed John smirk as he looked at her bra. "Does SuperCena want me?" She said ginning down at him.
"Yes." "Now." She leaned down. They kissed. "You're so sexy." John mumbled against her lips. He undid her bra. "Your body." He slowly ran his hands down the front of her.
"Ohh, god." She moaned feeling that familiar tingle that only John's touch gave her.
Afterward they were laying there. Dannie's head was on John's chest. He was running his fingers through her hair.
"That was amazing." John said.
"Yeah but don't get used to it." "This was a one time only thing." "A slip up."
"It was a fun slip up." "Pretty clever on your part."
"I knew that would get you to stay."
"You know after tomorrow we have that two days off." "As a friend you can come over to my place." "I can cook you a nice friendly dinner." "Maybe we could open a bottle of wine."
"I can't."
"Why?"
"I'm not going home." "I'm going to California to see Dwayne and Simone."
"Oh." She could tell he was disappointed. She looked up at him.
"I'm sorry h- John."
"It's ok." "I understand." "They're your family and you need to spend with them." She kissed him. "What was that for?"
"It just felt like the thing to."
"Stay the night."
"Ok."
"Don't leave until I wake up."
"I won't I promise."
"Ok." They kissed. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight." "Why did I almost call John, honey?" She thought. "That's strange."
