A month had passed. Dannie was doing her best to forget about John. It was still so hard for her. She did her best to avoid him. It hurt to just see him. She was visiting Dwayne and Simone in California. She was sitting in the kitchen thinking of John. Simone walked into the kitchen.
"Hi aunt Dannie." Simone said.
"Hi Simone."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing why?"
"You seem sad."
"I am a little but I'll be ok."
"Are you and John fighting?" "It's alright, dad's still at the store."
"I'm not with John anymore."
"Why?"
"We just thought it would be best if we broke up."
"You don't seem like you think it's best."
"It's a complicated situation."
"I'm sorry you're sad."
"Thanks." Simone hugged her. "What's this for?"
"I know it probably won't but I hope it makes you feel a little better."
"It does." "Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Dwayne came through the door. He came into the kitchen carrying bags full of groceries. He sat them on the counter.
"Simone go wash up for dinner." Dwayne said.
"Ok." She went upstairs.
Dannie and Dwayne began to put the groceries.
"Dannie what's wrong?" Dwayne said.
"Nothing Dwayne."
"Are you still sad over him?"
"Yes I'm still sad over him." "It's all your fault."
"Don't go blaming your bad judgment on me."
"Bad judgment?" "That's what you call it?" "You make it sound like it was my choice to break up with John."
"It was the right thing to do."
"Was it?"
"Yeah."
"The right thing for who Dwayne?" "Me or you?"
"You." "John's a bastard." "You just can't see it."
"Really?" "I see only one bastard."
"You're upset." "I know you didn't mean that."
"Yes I did."
"Dannie, John's not right for you."
"Yeah you're right." "Why would somebody who loved me and made me happy be right for me?" She said sarcastically.
"Once you start dating again you'll forget all about him."
"Look I broke up with him like you made me." "Don't expect me to act happy about it." She walked away.
A few days later Dannie was at the arena for Raw. She was in catering making a coffee.
"Hi." John said from beside her.
"Hi."
"I miss you."
"I have to go."
"Dannie wait."
"I can't."
She went back to the Diva's locker room. As she was getting her title and other things ready she broke into tears. Natalya came in. She went over to Dannie.
"Hey." Natalya said. "Are you alright?"
"No." "I just talked to John." "I thought after awhile the pain would stop but it hasn't." "I love him." "It's not fair."
"I know."
"Aw what's wrong Dannie?" AJ said coming into the locker room. "You look upset." She laughed. "Well I guess that's what you get for whoring around with your brother's enemy."
"Fuck you." Dannie said.
"No Dannie, tell me how did Dwayne find out, huh?" "Just a wild guess." "Did somebody happen to send Dwayne pictures of you and John?" She asked smiling.
"You?" "It was you!" "You did this!" "You bitch!" She went to get up. Natalya stopped her.
"Dannie no." Natalya said. "This isn't the way."
"That's right Dannie." AJ said. "I did it." "I made sure the love of your life got taken away from you." "The PI I hired was perfect." "Now your life is in shambles." "Poor Dannie." She left.
Later that night it was one in the morning. Dannie was in bed asleep. She was awakened by a knock at her door. She opened it. John was standing there. She could tell he was drunk. Not completely trashed but drunk enough.
"John what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I wanted to see you."
"Go to your room John."
"No baby." "I miss you." "I don't care what Dwayne wants." "I want you." "I love you Dannie."
"John please don't do this."
"I know you want me back to." "This last month has been a living hell for me."
"I know what you mean." "As much as I want you back, I can't." "Now goodnight." She went to shut the door John put his hand on it.
"No, I'm not leaving until you tell me you love me."
"Fine." "I love you." "Happy?" He kissed her.
"I am now." He kissed her again. She kissed him back. It quickly became more passionate. John went inside closing the door behind him. They backed up as they continued to kiss. She bumped into something it was the arm of the couch. John lifted her up and sat her on it. She had her hands on his belt. She broke the kiss.
"Wait." "What am I doing?" "We can't do this." "I have to stop."
"No don't stop." John started kissing her acrossed her neck. She put her head back and moaned.
"If we do this it doesn't change anything."
"I don't care." "I want you." They kissed. She took off his jeans. He took off her top and pajama bottoms. She took off his shirt. She laid herself back on the couch pulling John with her. He looked down at her. "I love you so much Dannie."
"I love you to John." They kissed.
Afterward as they were laying there Dannie was drifting off to sleep. The feeling of John holding her again was great. She wished it never had to stop but deep down knew better.
