Chapter 4: In the club
The driver dropped them off at the side entrance where they were told to go so to avoid too many fans. As soon as they entered, the music and lights hit them but in a very good way. It was decided they would get a table first and set up their base. With that decision made came another of what drinks to order. The waiter went around to get everyone's alcoholic delight. When he finally got to Shannon, she decided to just go for a coke with some cherries.
"I know it's been said a million times, but live a little." Dave said
"No problem there, but never was a big drinker. Plus I think I want to enjoy dancing tonight without having the urge to throw up or pass out. But I will seriously think about it later." Shannon giggled.
"Speaking of dancing, my song is on so we have to go dance." Eva said getting up and nudging Shannon.
"Please girl, every damn song is your song." Shannon said."But yeah I can dance to this." she said realizing "Get Right" was on by Jennifer Lopez.
AJ, Eve, and Alicia followed them onto the dance floor. The guys sat this one out , waiting for their drinks. The girls danced together for a bit ignoring the stares of every other guy that went past. Shannon loved to dance especially to hip hop music so when she was out there she was sucked into her own little world, not that she minded. She noticed that after awhile Eva was slowly drifting away and the three divas had gotten lost in the crowd completely. Before Shannon could wander towards her friend again she felt a large hand on her hips. She was about to say something but abruptly stopped herself when a red cherry caught her eye. A muscular hand that Shannon had seen so many times was dangling the cherry slightly above her but just in reach. A smile crept onto her features and she gladly complied, taking the cherry with her teeth and giving it a small tug off it's stem. She twirled herself around to face him.
" Darn I thought it was my dream guy." Shannon said teasingly.
"Aw damn and I thought you were AJ!" John said trying to be serious until Shannon pushed him playfully causing him to laugh.
"That hurt." Shannon pouted back.
"I'll make it betta." John said smirking and pulling her closer by her hips.
"I know you're the self proclaimed Doctor of Thuganomics, but correct me if I'm wrong when I ask aren't I the one with the medical license?"
"Did you get the degree in thug luvin?"
"Hmmm I think I skipped that section."
"Well then I think I got this one. You aight wit that?"
"I guess I'll have to be." Shannon said as she let out a dramatic sigh.
At that moment the DJ decided to play "Just a little bit" by 50 Cent. Neither of their bodies could resist the beat of the music. Basically all their thoughts and worries were tossed aside temporarily as they began to dance with each other. Their bodies seemed to fit together in all the right ways even though he was so much larger in comparison. They danced straight through that song and into the next. While grinding against each other they had stayed silent, not wanting to let on how much they were enjoying what they were doing. Shannon couldn't take it anymore because her mind was wandering around so many naughty but nice ideas. She had to talk.
"You're a pretty good dancer. You know for being white chocolate and all."
By the look on his face he didn't understand exactly what she meant at first. After a moment or so, realization struck his features and he chuckled.
"I knew you'd get to that before I did. I was gonna give you your copy tonight when we got back to the hotel."
"I don't know what you're talking about?...Oh your talking about your cd? Ha, I didn't even realize it came out yet."
"Girl, who are you trying to play? Dave told me Eva let you listen to it and now you want to kill me. But the way you've been on me tells me different. So what do you have to say to me?"
"I was just kidding John... you know me."
"Yeah and you suck at lying."
"Only to you, which is really annoying by the way."
"That's because you want me so bad."
"Now look who's full of it. I think you're confused, maybe you're still in that fantasy you sang about."
"Oh it's only a fantasy now, but it won't be for long. Cuz nobody can resist Cena"
"Yeah ok marky mark. We'll see."
"See you're already starting to change your mind."
Shannon was going to further her side of the debate but couldn't on account of the new arrival of Eva and Rey.
"Looks like you two are enjoying yourselves." Eva said in a sing song voice.
"We were." Shannon answered her friend, exaggerating the word were.
Then the song "Yo me canto" by N.O.R.E and Nina Sky started playing.
"Aight well I'm out cuz I can't dance to this." John said as he began to walk back to the table.
"Yeah I think I'm gonna go get a drink." Shannon agreed.
"Oh no you don't. I'll help you out while Rey Rey guides Shannita." Eva said dragging John back.
"All you gotta do is move your hips and shake that ass around." Rey said twirling Shannon around. She was actually pulling it off unlike John who made Shannon hysterical.
"John, flow with the music not against it." Eva said giggling.
"Aw forget this shit. I can't do it and I'm thirsty." John said
"Yeah, I give up on you. Maybe Shannita can help you with those stiff hips cuz I sure as hell can't." Eva said.
"That's what I'm hoping for." He grinned.
"Well you guys can finish together cuz I need a break." Shannon said following the same way John had just gone.
When Shannon got back to the table she found Dave sitting by himself and John heading to the restroom. She immediately went for her soda and pretty much chugged it.
"Thirsty?" Dave asked
"More than ever." she replied sitting down. "Lemme have a sip of your drink." Shannon pouted.
"Just order a refill." Dave suggested.
"No I wanna try something new, and you did mock me earlier for my lack in desire for booze. So gimme gimme." Shannon said holding her hands out.
"Fine." he surrendered and passed her the drink.
"Remind me not to ever take you clubbing again before I teach you how to dance fast." Shannon said sipping the drink.
"That's what you said last time and you forgot."
"Well I won't this time, cuz I'm gonna write it down and put it in my purse." she said writing on a napkin a little reminder. "And what do you know, a slow song just started. Get out there and impress my best or shes gonna think you don't like her. Then I'll have to kick your ass even though that would probably be impossible for me to do. Ahh I could just get John to do it." she babbled
"Ok I get the point." Dave said walking off to dance with Eva.
Shannon smiled as she finished Dave's drink. Hmmm whatever this is, it's pretty good. Always knew Dave had good taste. She thought to herself. She signaled the waiter for a refill and sat scanning the crowd.
*A few drinks later*
"Hey I'm sorry I took so long to get back, but Randy was buggin me." John said sitting down.
"That's ok. I was just here, and then over there, and then over here again. Shannon smiled sheepishly.
"Uh Shannon are you ok? You seem... " John paused looking for a suitable word.
"Tipsy? Yeah and I don't know why. I mean all I had was a coke and some of these fruity thingys that Dave had. Which by the way are awesome. Taste!" Shannon said shoving the drink towards John. He tasted it.
"Babe this has alcohol in it. How many of these did you have?"
Shannon just shrugged. "I'm tired, can you just bring me back to the hotel."
"Yeah I'll call the driver around to meet us." he said calling on his cell.
Once they were in the limo Shannon was beginning to be so tired that she couldn't sit straight up. She lowered her head onto John's shoulder and quickly got comfortable. John pulled out his cell again to call Randy and let him know they had left.
"This better be good." Randy answered his phone.
"I thought I'd save you all some time and let you know me and Shannon left to go back to the hotel."
"I give you credit, you work fast."
"It's not like that. She drank too much so she wanted to go back to the hotel and sleep."
"That's the worst excuse I have ever heard from you. She said it herself that she didn't drink that much if any at all."
" Well that's the truth and she's sleeping right next to me. So just tell everyone we already left and don't add anything in."
"Yeah yeah bye."
John hung up and looked down at Shannon. She looked so adorable sleeping on him and he loved seeing her so close to him. After just a few minutes they were at the hotel again.
"Hey babygirl you gotta get up."
"We're here?"
"Yeah come on I got ya." John said taking her hand. Shannon droopily followed.
By the time they got into the elevator, Shannon's legs buckled and thanks to John's fast reflexes, Shannon didn't have an unpleasant meeting with the floor. She moaned slightly which caused John to laugh.
"Your room card is in your purse right?" John asked as he practically carried Shannon out of the elevator. "Uh huh" Shannon said as she handed it to him. He slid it in the card slot waiting for the green light to go on. As soon as it did he hauled her into the room and laid her on the bed. Shannon started giggling like something funny just happened.
"What?" John asked
"I'm drunk and you're really hot!"
"Yes and yes but what's so funny about all that?"
"I wasn't supposed to say that!"
"No big deal...well until I make it one tomorrow. I'm going to get you some water." John said going into the mini fridge and grabbing a water bottle. He gave it to her and she accepted it happily. "So where are your pjs?"
"Can I wear your jersey?" Shannon asked ignoring his question.
"Yeah sure, it's not like I don't have enough of em." John slowly removed his jersey and gave it to her. Shannon stared at his bare chest for a moment. If she wasn't half out of it, that would definitely have made her blush.
"I'm gonna change." Shannon said as she got up to head to the bathroom. She immediately sat back down on the bed. "Or maybe I'll stay here until the floor stops moving so much."
"Just get changed from there and I'll turn around."
"Okie dokie. But no peeking or I'll kick your ass."
"Well at least I know you're still feisty when you're drunk."
*After a few minutes*
"You can turn around again."
"Aight, babygirl I'm gonna go before I do somethin crazy, cuz you in that jersey is too much for me. Get some sleep and I'll see you tomorrow. " he said going to leave.
"Night." Shannon said turning the light off once the door had shut. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
