AN: Much love to my reviews for chap 6 Roxxy1984 and OTHlover04. Oh my reviewers are so loved!
Chapter 7: What happens in the air, stays in the air...or maybe not!
Their eyes met for what seemed like the millionth time that night. She couldn't resist him any longer. The moment was just too perfect. She moved herself closer and up to meet his lips. It started out as a light peck but intensified when John lightly met her head with his hand. She wound her arms around his neck and ran her nails gently against the sensitive skin of his neck. He slowly guided her body onto his lap. Only breaking their kiss enough to get situated comfortably. He slipped his hand under her tank top making her moan with every touch of his fingertips. And then everything seemed to become fuzzy, when the phone on the night stand started ringing. They both stopped and she looked over her shoulder. But as soon as she did she felt herself drop. Her body met the floor with a loud thud and that's when she opened her eyes.
"Ain't that a bitch!" Shannon moaned as she slowly put her weight onto her hands and knees. It was a damn dream! She thought to herself and then she heard someone's voice.
"Yes thank you for the wakeup call."
Shannon looked up to meet the gaze of Eva who was sitting up in her bed. She stood up and rubbed her side that met the floor the most.
"Ow." was all Shannon could say.
"Nice dream?" Eva asked with a smirk.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Cuz the moaning and pillow hugging made me think so." Eva giggled.
"Shut up!"
"The whole point of asking the front desk for a call in the morning is to make sure we get up but hey whatever works." Eva said gesturing to the floor.
"Ha ha...oh god and now we have to go to the airport and sit on the uncomfortable plane for I don't know how many hours because I don't remember where were going."
"Yeah maybe we should ask management about that." Eva replied getting up and starting to get ready.
Shannon followed suit just at a slower pace. She threw on her comfy plane pants and her RAW baby tee. On days they had to fly she didn't really care about her appearance that much because she learned after awhile it was better to be comfortable. She put her hair in one of her half together buns and put in a pair of her simple dangle earrings. Slacking some clear lip gloss on she was ready to go. The two girls took their bags out into the hallway and made sure nothing was left behind. Eva had a similar idea of fashion for the day except the put her hair into a pony tail and had put on a baseball cap. Everyone on their floor of the hotel was supposed to leave their locked luggage that would go under the plane in front of their doors so that they could all be collected together. It just made things easier. Everyone eventually filed down to the lobby where they got all their information and tickets.
Once they finally got onto the plane the girls plopped into their seats that were unsurprisingly next to each other. Although Eva got the window seat this time because they switched off every time. There wasn't an actual seating order considering the whole plane was for WWE only but the staff usually sat away from most of the "superstars". It just had always worked out that way. Looking around them Shannon saw that no one was paying attention to the two so she could talk freely about John.
"Ok so you wanna know why I fell out of my bed this morning?" She asked to get her best friend's attention. She then went on and told her what had been rolling around in her mind.
"See, even your mind is telling you to go for it when you're not even conscious."
"I guess I must have fallen asleep while we were watching the movie. Although I don't even remember what movie it was." Shannon sighed. "Was he still there when you got back last night?"
"Yup and he was holding you too. It was so cute. I hope the pictures came out good even though it was pretty dark."
"Eva you took pictures of us sleeping?"
"Yeah that's why he woke up. But you didn't even move cuz once you're out you're dead to the world."
"Can't argue with that. You'll have to show me them."
"Ha you're glad I took them."
"Maybe, depends on how my hair looks." they both laughed.
"Well I'm going to use the restroom before that lady tells me I have to stay seated again."Eva said getting up and heading to the front of the plane. Shannon nodded and looked down catching a glimpse of her carry on. Remembering John's CD she slid it out from under her seat and took the case and her player out. Opening them she placed the cd in the player and put on her head phones. Then there was the letter he had written to her that was stuck to the booklet. She unfolded it and silently read it.
Hey Babygirl,
I know I gave you this last but that's because it took me so long to find the right words. But when it comes to you what can I say? You mean more to me than anyone knows. Even though we have known each other for a little more than a month it seems so much longer. I love when we talk even if it's just teasing each other. We always make each other laugh and smile. I hope we can stay close if not grow closer in the future.
Love you girl
Your boy
Shannon smiled to herself. She really did want to be with him but she was so paranoid sometimes. Maybe she should ask him out...or maybe he would want to do the asking. They had gone on sort of dates but nothing was official between them. It was mostly instinct acting or flirting. Some thought John was such a player but ever since she met him the image never came into her mind. It was probably just "the character" even though he was supposed to be so real and relative to the fans. And in many ways he was. It was just sometimes that whole persona took over. Try as he might he wasn't just about the smooth talking. He was just a goofball sometimes and man did she wish he was her goofball. Eva came back as Shannon was listening to the CD so she just sat down and started reading a magazine. Shannon stared at the changing signs for seat belts and no smoking. But she paused her player to catch what the announcement was over the intercom. Drinks and snacks would begin being served in a few minutes. A tap on her shoulder made her practically jump out of seat. She smiled when she saw John. To reassure him she was listening to what he had to say, she took off her earpieces.
"Are you as bored as I am yet?" he asked grinning.
"Pretty much. What did you have in mind?" she asked looking up at him.
"Dave and I were wondering if you wanted to trade seats with Dave. I guess he got annoyed after I was asking him so many questions."
"I'm sure, well if Eva doesn't mind then I guess I'll come and keep you company."
"Do you mind?" Dave asked her from where he walked up behind John.
"Do you even have to ask." Eva smiled at Dave.
"I'll take that as a yes." John said pulling Shannon by her hand back to his seat. She followed although kinda felt awkward at everyone staring at them because they were the only ones walking around. She spotted some of the divas she got along with on the way and waved. They finally came upon two empty seats that were across from Randy, AJ, and Eve. Shannon was going to sit on the aisle seat but right before she could, she heard someone further back make a comment that made her blood boil.
"What, now she can sit back here with the rest of us just because she's whoring with him?" Shannon wasn't that surprised that when she looked back Melina was glaring at her. While she had been working for the WWE she had never felt disrespected, because she always tried her best to act neutral with everyone. Even if some of the divas annoyed the hell out of her or some stars seemed to have bigger egos than others. But this bitch for some reason had something against her. She couldn't recall any reason for it but if she was gonna start some bullshit then she deserved whatever Shannon dealt out. Shannon was amazed at the surprised look on Melina's face when she glared back at her. Her next words came out without even thinking.
"I did hear that. Maybe that ratty wig of yours gets in the way of your hearing. Think what you want but all assumptions do is set you up to look like a jackass." with that said Shannon turned back to John.
"Maybe you should have the window seat. Just incase you have an urge to do something."he moved to let her by.
"Hey you think you guys could have a bra and panties match in the air? I mean how fuckin cool would that be?" Randy asked giddily. Shannon just rolled her eyes.
"I'm attempting to ignore the fact that I want to beat her right now. Just remind me later to spill something on her. That seems more lady like you know?" both of the guys chuckled.
Randy got back to his previous conversation and John went back to Shannon.
"So how was that movie last night?" Shannon asked changing the subject.
"For staying up longer, I have nothing to show for it. I still have no idea what that movie was about."
"Yeah I didn't get into it either." She confessed.
"Well if you weren't so distracting maybe I could have."
"How did I distract you?" she raised her eyebrow.
"That is for me to know."
"Oh really? Well we will see about that. You should have stayed though."
"I didn't know how you'd feel about that, if you woke up and I was still there."
"Well now you know for next time."
"I'm liking the sound of that." he smirked.
"Great as if your ego needed anymore of a boost." she sighed
"You're right, we should be working on yours. Let's see...you already know I like your hair."
"And my smile, laugh, and ass."
"So you read my note huh? But how do you know I like your ass?"
"A big animal might have said something to make me think so. Except I don't know how considering I don't have one."
"Oh you have one." Randy piped up saying the same thing as John at the same time. John glared at him. "Man stop listening to us. Go talk to Rey or somebody." he said slapping him on the arm. "So as I was saying you have one, it's just not huge. Which I think is good." She just shook her head not believing they were having a conversation about her ass.
"Moving on! I really liked the note though. It was sweet and thoughtful. Never would have guessed." she grinned at him as he put on a sad face complete with puppy eyes and a lip.
"You can't do that. I 'm only allowed to pull crap like that." she pushed him playfully. Before he could respond the stewardess stopped in front of them and asked what they would like. Shannon scanned the cart for something acceptable considering it was so early. She spotted some cans of coffee on ice.
"Can I just have a can of that coffee?" she asked realizing how tired she still was.
"Would you like the Vanilla or Mocha?"
"Mocha please." Shannon accepted the drink happily
"And for you sir?"
"Just an OJ please." once he got his orange juice she handed them each a bag of peanuts and moved on.
"Just what I wanted, nuts for breakfast." she said sarcastically. She quickly realized how funny that sounded and quickly put a finger to John's lips. "Not a word. You know what I meant." he smiled then kissed her finger. She went back to her coffee having a wave of anxiety wash over her. She felt goose bumps on her arms and it was then she realized she must have left her sweater back at her other seat. Rolling her eyes at her laziness, she squirmed to reach the vent that was the cause for cold air raining down on her. Finally getting it to budge it was now focused on John. He looked at her with a look that said "Thanks so much." He then proceeded to pull out a blanket from the pocket of the seat in front of him. She lifted the hand rest that separated their two seats so that she could inch her way closer to him. Like the night before he put his arm around her, and they were happy. With her head so close to his chest, she could feel the vibrations when he spoke.
"You're making me think the reason you're always cold is just because you wanna snuggle with me."
"And if it was, would it be so bad?" she asked shivering.
"So you are just using me for my body?" he asked in mock shock.
"Naw what would I want with a six pack?" she said wrapping her arms around his torso.
"But if you don't like me being so close to you there's always the option of getting my sweater that's probably under Dave right about now."
"No I like you right where you are."
"Look at the cute couple." John and Shannon looked up to see Randy as he took a picture of them. As he inspected the picture he had just taken on the digital camera he seemed unsatisfied. "Smile this time cuz the last one made John look high and Shannon passed out."
"Aren't you lovely Randy?" Shannon asked. He responded with a glare that told them to smile, which they did. He took it and was happier this time with the result. Then Shannon got an idea and decided to share it with John as she whispered it into his ear. He nodded then got Randy's attention.
"Hey get this one man." John said as him and Shannon joined in a liplock. Randy hurriedly got the picture before they changed their minds. When they parted Shannon giggled.
"What's so funny?" John asked slightly amused.
"Besides the fact everyone is gonna be on our asses forever now? I have to admit Cena you're not that bad a kisser though." He looked to Randy and then motioned for him to give him the camera.
"Hold on I'm gonna save it and then put it in slideshow mode."
"By the way man since when do you have a pink digital camera?" John asked him curiously.
"I don't. I took Eva's to play with." That made Shannon's eyes pop out. But it was too late. "Hey what do we have here? I guess the picture I just took is nothing compared to what's on here."
"Give me the camera Randy. Before I have to seriously hurt you." Shannon said putting her hands out.
"What are you talking about man?" John asked snatching it away from him.
"So that's what Eva was up to last night." John said sharing the view with Shannon.
"Ok so we did look cute." Shannon agreed. "But Randy go give this back to Eva right now. If you lose it or something she will go crazy on your ass. "
"Alright, alright but lemme take one more." in response to his request John raised his hand in a mock you can't see me and Shannon decided to flip him off.
"Oh real lady like Shan." Randy said sarcastically.
"Clever too." she smiled. He finally left them alone to go bug someone else. They decided to go back to cuddling.
*Meanwhile all that was going on Dave and Eva had been keeping each other very entertained. One of them had decided to play M.A.S.H to pass the time. They had just figured out each of their "destinys".*
"Ok Dave if you weren't a wrestler you were going to be a milk man who drove a harley. You would have had a pet rabbit and 3 kids. Oh and you'd live in an apartment. Aren't you glad you have your job." she laughed.
"Well Eva if you didn't work for the WWE you would be a ticket taker who drives a quad. You also have 3 kids so good luck with that and driving a quad. And you'd have a pet snail and live in a mansion. I see our destinys are completly accurate."
"Oh yeah and you know you and the 3 kids should be interesting fitting onto your harley. Oh and can't forget your rabbit."
"No it would be horrible for me to do that." he grinned back at her. Of course Randy had to break the silence.
"Here's your camera. Thanks for letting me borrow it."
"Hey how the hell did you get that? I never let you borrow it." Eva looked at him like he was crazy.
"I have my ways."
Eva just rolled her eyes in response. But then added "I'm scared to see what you took pictures of." He simply winked at her and left them.
"I don't know about you but I want to see what's on that camera." Dave said taking it. And that's exactly what they did.
AN: ooooohhhh i wonder what else Randy took pictures of. Hmmmm I wonder how everyone is gonna react to Shannon and John's kiss. And will John and Shannon finally give in and go out? Stay tuned and you'll have to review to find out. Any predictions? Talk to me and leave a review...don't be a lazy butt lol. Or maybe I'll just stop writing! mwahahaha...ok i suck at the evil laugh.
