Two days had passed. Dannie had just pulled into Dwayne's driveway. She got out of the car and rang the doorbell. Dwayne answered it.
"Hey." Dwayne said.
"Hey." They hugged. She went inside.
"Simone, aunt Dannie's here."
Simone came down the stairs.
"Hi aunt Dannie." She said.
"Hi Simone." Dannie said. "How are you?"
"Good."
"Good."
"I've been watching you on TV."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah you're awesome."
"Thanks."
"When are you gonna get a shot at the Divas Championship?"
"I have to earn it first."
"I think you have." "You've won a lot of matches and you're way better then AJ."
"Aunt Dannie's time will come soon enough." Dwayne said. "Just wait and see."
Later that night Dannie was sitting on the couch. Dwayne came downstairs and sat next to her.
"So what have you been up to?" Dwayne asked.
"You know just working."
"You did really good on all those talk shows."
"It was hard at first but by the middle of the month it got easier."
"I know it had to be hard for you having to do those shows with John."
"Yeah but it's over now."
"Yeah." "Fruity pebbles can be annoying."
"Yeah." "He's not annoying." She thought. "He's actually really sweet." "God is he great in bed." "Wait what am I doing?" "I have to quit thinking things like that." "John and I can never have sex again." "We're friends."
"Anyone special in your life right now?"
"Huh?"
"Are you seeing anyone?"
"No I've been to busy working for that." "I just to back to the hotel and straight to bed after a show." "Well I'm gonna turn in." "See you tomorrow.
"Ok goodnight."
"Goodnight."
John decided to go back to Massachusetts. He was at the house he owned there. He invited his brothers Matt and Sean over. They were drinking.
"John?" Matt said. "Yo, Earth to John."
"Huh?"
"Jesus are you trashed already?" "That's only your fourth one."
"No he's not drunk yet." Sean said. "It's a chick, I can tell." "He's thinking about his girlfriend."
"I don't have a girlfriend." John said.
"Right."
"I don't." "We're just really good friends."
"Who is it?" Matt asked.
"Dannie Johnson."
"Wait." "Dannie Johnson, as in Dwayne Johnson's sister?" Sean asked.
"Yep."
"I thought you hated her."
"I did." "That was before I knew her." "She's great."
"If she's so great why isn't she your girlfriend?"
"We're friends."
"Oh, cause of Dwayne." "So you two are close?"
"Yeah."
"So you two haveā¦
"Have what?"
"Come on, you know what I'm asking."
"Yeah I do and what Dannie and I have done or not done is none of your business."
"Alright." "So you love her or what?"
"Like I said we're just friends." "I'm gonna go get another beer."
Dannie was dreaming. She and John were having sex.
"This is wrong." Dannie said. They kissed. "The more I fight the more I want you."
"It's not wrong." "If it was wrong it wouldn't be so amazing." They kissed again.
"Oh John." She moaned. "Ohh." "Ohh."
Dannie was awakened by her cell phone ringing. She looked at the alarm clock on the end table. It read 3:00 AM.
"Hello?" She said tiredly.
"Hi Dannie." John said.
"John?"
"Yeah."
"Are you drunk?"
"Yeah." "I decided to go home to Massachusetts." "I invited two of my brothers over and we had a few." "I'm about to go to bed and I wanted to say goodnight."
"It's three in the morning."
"It is?"
"Yeah."
"Oh shit." "I'm sorry."
"It's ok."
"I miss you Dannie." "Is that ok?"
"Yeah." "That's ok."
"Do you miss me?"
"Yeah."
"I wish you were here with me." "I like holding you while I sleep."
"I'll see you on Monday ok?"
"Ok." "Sweet dreams baby." "Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
The next evening Dwayne was cooking out on the grill. Everyone was in the backyard. Dwayne got a text on his phone. He read it and went over to Dannie who was sitting on the patio.
"Dannie I have a surprise for you." Dwayne said.
"What?"
"A few months ago I got a call from an old friend of yours." "I called him yesterday and told him you were here." "He's in town visiting his brother and he wanted to come see you."
"Who?" The patio door opened. Dannie's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe who has standing in front of her. "Oh my god, Lucas."
"Hi Dannie." Lucas said smiling. Lucas was tall. He had light blue eyes and short dark brown hair. She stood up. They hugged.
"I can't believe it." "It's great to see you."
"It's great to see you to."
"Are you still in the Marines?"
"I've been out for a year. "I live in Miami."
"Really?" "I live in Tampa."
"So I hear you're a wrestler now."
"Yep."
"How do you like it?"
"It's great."
"Hey Dwayne."
"Hey Lucas. Dwayne said. They hugged. "Nice to see ya."
Lucas stayed for dinner. He and Dannie talked and laughed about the past. She walked him to his car it was nighttime.
"You've got to come flying with me sometime you'll love it." Lucas said.
"Don't you need a pilot to do that?"
"I have my license and a plane."
"You have a plane?"
"It's not really big but yeah." "I heard Raw's coming to Miami tomorrow I bought a ticket."
"You did?"
"Yeah." After the show, can I take you to dinner?"
"Sure."
"Great." He kissed her. She kissed him back. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight." Dannie went back into the house. Suddenly John entered her mind. She didn't understand why.
