First many thanks to sage360, A.J. Cena, and BatistaBabe for the new reviews.
Now here's another chapter!
Chapter 5: What did I do?
Shannon's eyes fluttered open, but quickly shut again. She moaned while turning around attempting to block out the bright light that engulfed the room. With no such luck she began her usual banter of cursing. Don't get her wrong, she loved Eva to death, but antagonizing her in the morning was not a good thing. For some reason Shannon could not comprehend why her best friend insisted on opening the curtains every damn morning. Popping one eye open to look at the digital clock on the night stand, she saw it was already 11AM. Okay so maybe she should count her blessings that she got to sleep that long. Shuffling out of her bed she slowly made her way into the bathroom. She turned on the sink and splashed the cold water on her face to wake up. After wiping her face off with a towel she examined herself in the mirror. Her eyes practically popped out of her head when she realized what she was wearing. She knew whose jersey she was wearing crystal clear. The only problem was, she couldn't remember how exactly she came to be wearing it.
"What did I get myself into?" she frantically asked herself.
She retraced her steps back into the bedroom to collect some sense of the situation. She found her clothes sprawled on the floor between her bed and the window. Her mouth hit the floor.
"We didn't! But there's only one way to really make sure."
Without really thinking her plan out she proceeded towards the door and opened it. Out in the hallway, Dave and Eva stood talking. Completely shocked, Shannon couldn't silence her involuntary gasp which caught the attention of the two.
"Good you're finally up." Eva said walking slowly to the doorway where Shannon stood frozen. That is until Dave let out a loud whistle directed at what Shannon was wearing.
"Aw shit." Shannon muttered as she quickly shut the door in Eva's face.
"Shannon let me in! I wanna know the dirt!" Eva squealed on the other side of the door.
" There is no way in hell I am letting you in this room so you can bombard me with questions."
"Did I see you wearing John's jersey just now?"
"See, perfect example." Shannon answered back.
"You aren't going to stay in there all day, and even if you planned to I have a key card. So you're screwed either way."
"Yes, well I am going to get dressed and take advantage of the peace and quiet without you while it lasts."
"Fine but everybody is going down to the gym to work out in a little bit so I'll meet you down there aight?"
"Yeah I'll be down eventually." Shannon scurried around picking last night's clothes up off the floor and set off to find something gym worthy to wear. She chose a pair of white fitted track pants and a dark purple sports tank. Then she rushed into the bathroom to make herself look publicly presentable. She used the least bit of makeup possible and tied her hair up in a high ponytail, finishing herself off with a pair of her Nikes. She grabbed her room card and bolted out of the door. She casually checked out the hall to make sure no one was looking at her. There was no need for even more rumors to spread around about her and John. She walked across the hall and stopped a few doors away from her room. Then she lightly knocked on John and Dave's door. She silently prayed that if John was still in his room that he was alone. They needed to talk privately big time. No such luck though because Dave answered the door.
"Hey I was just going to see if you were still up for the gym. Eva's already down there with some of the other girls." Dave greeted her.
"Yeah I was still planning on it. Uh is John in there?" Shannon asked with a look that told Dave if he said anything to mess with her, he would be a very sorry man.
"Of course. You and him both take the longest to get ready...most of the time anyway." Dave grinned.
"Aight Dave well I'll see you downstairs, bye now." Shannon said trying to shove him out of the door, if that were possible.
"Alright I get it! Wouldn't wanna leave Eva waiting too long." he chuckled leaving.
That just made Shannon laugh.
"Hey babygirl whats up?" John said from behind her making her turn around. And wasn't he hot. That made her even feel more uneasy about what she came here to talk to him about.
"Hi. Uh we need to talk about last night."
"I figured that was what you came by for. Come on let's go sit on the couch or somethin."
Or something Shannon thought. Real smooth John.
They sat down on the sofa and faced each other.
"So I've already had Eva on my ass this morning about last night and I know once I get with the girls everyone is gonna wanna know what happened. So normally I would know what to tell and what not to tell. The only thing is I don't remember what happened last night." Shannon laughed nervously.
"Well you got a lil tipsy off of some fruit alcohol special that Dave tried out. You know you're a real interesting drunk. You like to share a lot."
"Oh god what did I say? Because when I said I wasn't a big drinker there was a great reason behind that decision. I share waaaayy too much and it really doesn't take much to get me drunk for that matter."
"Well you didn't tell me anything I didn't know before."
"I restate by previous question. What did I say?"
"Just that I was hot and you wanted me so bad you couldn't stand it."
"I didn't!"
"Well ok so you didn't say I was hot, you said I was da sexiest man you'd eva seen."
"Shut up!" Shannon said playfully pushing him. "So I take it you're not gonna be very helpful in explaining what the real reason is behind me waking up in your jersey or my clothes on the floor."
"Hmmm well that brings me to the little question that I needed to see you about. You're on the pill right?"
"What?" Shannon exclaimed not sure she was hearing right.
"See, being in the heat of the moment combined with your irresistibleness and persistence, I didn't wear protection and so I wanted to know if I should be worrying about any little Cena baking in your oven." John said acting in all seriousness.
"Don't play! If your being serious than your gonna die when I tell you I'm not on any pills. You are also going to die if you're lying because I'll kill you. But if you tell me the truth right now I might just forgive you for your momentary mind lapse. "
"Aight, forgive me then. You can give me my punishment later, but the look on your face is worth anything you can do to me." John said cutting her off."But you're the one who asked to wear my jersey. Now you can say I gave you the shirt off my back. "
"I only asked because when I'm drunk I seem to become just a little more forward with people and ignore the fact that I'm going to get teased about whatever I do later on."
"I know that... now. I like it when you're forward then. Not that you have a big problem with doing that on a regular basis."
"Ha, ha, very funny. Well I was in a hurry so I forgot your jersey in my room. I'll give it to you later or you can come by and get it whenever."
"Keep it I have so many I probably wouldn't notice it was gone unless a hot girl was in it. Which I was lucky last night and got to see."
Shannon could feel her neck get hot. Do not blush! her mind yelled.
"What makes you think I want your jersey to keep? Plus it's 4 sizes way too big for me." Shannon teased him as she got up from the couch.
"What can I say, I just love seeing you in my clothes." he shrugged. "Not that you aren't looking particularly fine in those pants you're wearing right now."
"Nice John just stare at my ass when I'm talking to you."
"Usually I can't so on the rare occasion when I can, I'm taking full advantage." he smirked at her.
"Well we better get down there soon before the whole damn gym starts thinking that we're doing other things...besides talking. Although I'm pretty sure everyone already suspects that. And I have no doubt in my mind you're not discouraging those accusations."
"Well I wouldn't want to be called a liar when you start showing."
"John!"
"I'm just playing with you." he laughed. "I was a perfect gentleman. I even kept my back turned without sneaking peeks while you got dressed. Which might I say, I regret now." John said getting up to walk her to the door.
"Aww well maybe you'll be lucky and I'll compensate you for your troubles one day. But to set the record straight before I leave and throw myself to the mob. Nothing happened that I should know about right?"
"I'm gonna promise 2 things to you. If you and I got together like that, you would definitely remember it." he smiled at her while he took her hands in his. "And if something had happened with us last night, I'd still be right next to you when you woke up this morning."
"That was really sweet. I'll keep that in mind." Shannon couldn't help but blush this time. "Ok I really have to go now. So uh I'll see you when I see ya and you still have to give me my cd!" Shannon smiled as she left. She glanced at her watch. That took way longer than she expected. She jogged the rest of the way to the elevator and hurried down to the gym. On her way down she had decided to brace herself because she knew how everyone was going to be. So she planned to act as normal and unfazed as possible. Finally after asking someone at the front desk for directions she found the gym and stepped inside. Scanning the room she found Eva and the rest of the girls near the stereo and some other various equipment. Ignoring the fact all eyes were on her, she went over to their gathering.
"There you are Shannita!" Eva said pulling her closer to them.
"For awhile I thought you might have crawled back into bed." AJ smiled.
"Believe me the thought did enter my mind." Shannon responded with a smile.
"So Shannon have you seen John?" Alicia grinned
"How did I know that was coming? Look I'm gonna clear up everything right now so I can actually get some workout time today and so you guys can teach me some more wrestling moves. " Shannon said making the girls crowd in closer. "Aight so everyones ready to listen right? Ok so this is what happened... absolutely nothing! Sorry to disappoint you guys but everything was seriously innocent." Shannon watched their expressions change.
"Yeah but give it time, there is no denying how you guys feel about each other." Eve said. "We saw how you guys were dancing last night."
Shannon tried looking away to deny it but she couldn't. She was an open book.
"Well don't worry because if something happens." Shannon started but Eva interrupted her. "When something happens."
"When something happens all of you will end up prying the details out of me anyway." Shannon finished.
"The look on your face will always give you away Shannita." Eva smirked.
"Yeah so it won't exactly be classified as prying." AJ laughed.
"Yeah, yeah." Shannon dismissed them. As if on cue John walked into the gym and over to Dave, Randy, and the other guys on the other side of the room. "Well let's stretch cuz I wasn't kidding about learning some moves." the girls started counting and began their various stretches. At one point Shannon's eyes met John's and he couldn't resist winking at her as he began lifting some weights. She just smiled and shook her head and got back to the conversation between the group.
