I don't own any WWE talent. I only own Alex.
Chapter 10
I adjusted well to working with John, and the rest of the company… it really was an awesome job, and I was so happy that I was doing it. We were like a super close family. Everyone was so cool. I really couldn't see myself working anywhere else ever again.
Things took an interesting twist one night, just after I finished interviewing John during the live broadcast for Monday Night Raw. Actually, it's a little bit embarrassing when I recall it, especially with the entire hullabaloo it caused afterwards, but dear reader, it is part of our story, so I will tell it.
Begin Flashback
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time; He's the WWE Champion, John Cena!" I said.
John stepped up to me, ready to start the interview.
"John, a lot of people have been talking about Kevin Federline recently challenging you to a match on New Year's Day…have you got anything to say to him, or to anyone else, about it?" I asked.
"K-Fed…You rotten little puke. You're going to be sorry you ever challenged me. Because on New Year's Day, right here on Monday Night Raw, I'm going to have lots of fun kicking your sorry ass up and down the ring!" said John, with a sneer at the cameras for dramatic effect.
"I don't care if you think you're the toughest SOB in the world…I'm John Cena, The WWE Champion and I'm not going anywhere. If you want some, then by all means, come get some!!" said John. Giving a salute and then giving the middle of the belt a spin.
Just then the camera guys gave us the signal that this was the end of the interview. Or so we thought. Little did we know the cameras were still rolling.
"You were great…" he whispered to me. He leaned in to kiss me on the lips.
Suddenly what I heard on the backstage monitors told me that the cameras had not yet finished rolling.
J.R. responded first.
"King! What the hell was that about?"
"I don't know J.R., it looked like he was about to kiss Alex Platt." Said Jerry.
"Well folks, hopefully we'll find out, after the break!" said J.R. because we were suddenly in a hurry to go to commercial.
John and I looked at each other…
"Oh SHIT!" he exclaimed; realizing what had just happened. "We're dead! Just dig a grave for both of us, right now, because we're going to be dead. Vince is going to kill us!" he said.
Just then Shane Mc Mahon walked up to us.
"You two better come with me. My father wants to see you both in his office, right now!"
Shane led us to Vince's office and took us inside.
Vince was fuming! I'd never seen him this upset! His face was beet red, and he was seething behind his desk.
"John, Alex, sit down please." He said pointing at the chairs.
We sat. John looked at me with fear and even a little bit of shame in his eyes. I could tell he was worried about what the outcome of this would be, would he be fired? Would I?
I could feel my stomach tying itself in knots. I didn't know what was going to happen now, but I knew one thing, I was going to stand up and fight for John to keep his job no matter what it took. I didn't think I could live with knowing that a small smooch had possibly just caused the end of his career with WWE.
"So…I'm listening, and I really would like to hear exactly what the hell you two were doing just now! Do you realize what has just happened here, live on National TV, as well as in front of the thousands of fans here at tonight's event? This is a disaster, it's going to take a lot of long hours and a lot of thinking to figure out how to cover up this fiasco!"
"I have a suggestion for you boss…Why don't we just let it go on exactly as it is. Why don't we just go out to the ring and confess that Alex is my girlfriend, and I love her very much. I have a feeling they'll eat it up…My fans are pretty loyal."
"It sounds like it might be worth a try at least." Said Vince.
"Oh John; darling, I really don't know." I said.
Interviewing backstage was fine with me, but the idea of going out and facing that huge crowd out there, especially knowing that every teen girl, and single woman in the crowd probably hated my guts right about now was making me feel even sicker to my stomach.
"All right, here's the deal, we'll let the Divas match that's happening right now finish and then we'll take a commercial break and when we come back, you two and I will head on out there." Said Vince.
The Divas match ended, with Maria defeating Candice Michelle.
John and I went and took our place beside Vince. J.R. made an announcement that we would be offering some enlightenment on the issue after the break.
I felt my stomach start doing somersaults and I tried to calm myself down during the break.
