Dannie woke up the next morning. She looked at John who was still asleep. She realized now that the empty feeling she felt was John not being around. There relationship would be tough to keep together once Dwayne knew about it, Dannie knew that. She also knew that she loved John and she wasn't going to let anyone stand in the way of that. John opened his eyes.
"Morning." Dannie said.
"Morning." They kissed. John smiled.
"What?"
"I'm just really happy."
"Me to."
"I really missed you these last couple weeks."
"I missed you to." "Now you're stuck with me."
"Good." "Come home with me next week."
"To Florida or Massachusetts?"
"Florida." "Eventually I'd like to take you to Massachusetts to."
"We could to that." "Alright I'll come home with you."
"Good." "I'll cook you dinner."
"Then it's only fair that I cook you breakfast."
"What are we gonna do in-between?" John said grinning.
"I'm sure we'll be able to think of something." "Something really fun." She kissed him. "I'm sorry for sleeping with Lucas." "I didn't mean to hurt you."
"It's ok."
"If it makes you feel any better." "It didn't compare to being with you."
"It didn't?"
"Not in the slightest there was no emotional connection."
They both got up and dressed. Dannie walked John to the door.
"I'll see you later, ok?" Dannie said.
"Ok." "Come here." They hugged. "I love you Dannie."
"I love you to John." They kissed.
"Bye."
"Bye." He left.
A few minutes later Dannie's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi." Lucas said.
"Hi." "Lucas we need to talk."
"Ok."
"I can't see you anymore."
"I've recently started seeing someone else."
"Oh."
"I'm sorry."
"No." "I understand."
"It all happened very suddenly." "I still wanna be friends."
"It'd like that."
"Good."
"Listen, if it doesn't work out with you and this guy call me."
"I will."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Later that night Dannie had just arrived at the arena. It was a Monday Night Raw. She went into the Diva's locker room.
"Hello." Dannie said smiling.
"Did you and John make up?" Natalya asked.
"We did a little more then that."
"Did you have sex again?"
"Yeah but that's not the important thing." "Nattie, he told me he loved me."
"Aw." "What did you say?"
"I told him I love him to." "We're together now."
"Congratulations." They hugged.
"Thanks." "You were right all along." "Nattie I don't know what it is, I've been in love before but never like this." "The way I love John, it's different."
"Maybe he's the one."
"Maybe." "Now comes the hard part."
"Telling Dwayne?"
"Yeah." "Oh god, that's gonna be a disaster." "I don't even know how to start." "Or when to do it." "He's gonna hate me forever."
"Or maybe he'll see how happy John makes you."
"I'd love that but I highly doubt it." "They hate each other to the core."
"Did you hear about the big Diva battle royal tonight?"
"No."
"The winner becomes the number one contender of the Divas Championship."
"Really?" "Am I in it?"
"Every Diva on the roster is in it."
"Well may the best woman win then."
"Hopefully it's one of us."
"Did they say when the winner would get the title shot?"
"At the Royal Rumble next month."
"Is doesn't matter who wins the Diva's battle royal tonight." AJ said coming into the Diva's locker room. "You know why?" "I am the Divas Champion." "No one on the roster can beat me." She went up to Dannie. "Especially you Dannie." "Just because you're The Rock's sister doesn't mean shit." "You've never beaten me in one on one competition and you never will." "Even if by some miracle you do win the battle royal tonight, the Divas Championship is staying with me."
"Sounds like the words of someone who's scared AJ." Dannie said.
"Ha." "You're not a threat to me." "No one in this company is." AJ got something from her locker and left.
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." Natalya said. She opened the door. She came back with roses, a box of chocolates and a little brown teddy bear. "Dannie these are for you."
Really?"
"Yeah." She handed her the stuff. The teddy bear's stomach said "Press Here" so she did.
"Hi Dannie, I love you." John's voice said when she pushed it.
"Aw that's so sweet." Dannie said. "I'll be right back."
Dannie went to John's locker room and knocked on the door.
"It's open." He said from the other side of the door. Dannie went in. John was sitting on the couch. "Hi baby." He said smiling.
"Hi." She said smiling back. She sat down next to him and kissed him.
"I guess you got the stuff."
"Yes I did." "I love it all." "Especially the bear thank you."
"You're welcome." He kissed her. "I heard about that big battle royal tonight." "Are you nervous?"
"Yeah."
"Don't be." "You can do it."
"I'm gonna tell Dwayne about us, after the holidays." "Christmas is in a couple weeks." "I don't want to ruin it."
"Ok but after that you need to tell him."
"I promise I will." "I have to go get dressed."
Later that night Dannie was competing in the battle royal. AJ was doing guest commentary. Tamina had just eliminated Brie Bella. It was down to just her and Dannie. Dannie was on the ground. Tamina picked her up and put her over her shoulder. Tamina walked towards the ropes. Dannie knew she was going over. As she was she hooked Tamina's head in a headlock pulling her down with her and over the ropes. To Dannie's surprise only one of her feet hit the ground. Tamina fell out of the ring. Dannie couldn't believe it. Neither could AJ who had an angry look on her face.
A week later Dannie and John pulled into his driveway.
"You know what's funny?" Dannie said. "I only live fifteen minutes from here."
"Really?"
"Yep."
Later that night she was laying on top of him on the couch. He had his arms around her.
"I love this." John said.
"Me to." She looked at him. "Did you ever think we'd end up together?"
"Honestly, not in a million years."
"Me either." "I'm glad we were wrong."
"Me to." "Now that I have you, I couldn't picture my life any other way."
"Me either." They kissed.
"I love you baby."
"I love you to."
