Chapter 8: Sweetness, Ideas, and Questions
Shannon's POV
After awhile I had to switch seats again with Dave because we were going to be landing soon or so the announcements had said. John and I promised to meet up later. When I met up with Eva, she seemed quieter than her usual chatterbox self after being with Dave. I decided to ask what they had done while I was gone.
"We pretty much just talked. Oh and played M.A.S.H." she said with a slight grin on her face as she passed me the notebook the had written on as proof.
"Dave played M.A.S.H.? No way lemme see." I said pulling the notebook. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the results.
"It wasn't as eventful as making out but it was fun." Eva smirked. I wondered for a minute if she knew about the kiss because Randy actually had done what I asked him to do for once. By the look on my best friend's face, I concluded that I was right on the money.
"Yeah but it was only to give Randy a show. He wouldn't stop bugging us. I swear we should hook him up with one of the girls. Keep him busy and satisfy our curiosity at the same time." I responded. I thought about Randy with a steady girlfriend for a moment and wondered if it was possible. He was a nice guy and all but man did he take full advantage of all his "goodies".
"I'm sure Shannita. So when is the wedding?" Eva piped up bringing me back into the conversation.
"Ha, ha. Trust me we're just friends right now. If we were anything official I wouldn't be hesitant to move further than just a kiss." I said half jokingly.
"At least you've taken the first step and admitted it."
"You know you can drop playing innocent. I'm positive you've thought of Dave the same way on more than a few occasions." I said making her blush. I couldn't blame my friend, I mean if there wasn't the feelings that I have for John, Dave would have definitely been on my list of things to do. (Ha ha... sorry there's laughing in my head) I'm not at all as bad as the other girls around here when its comes to sizing up the guys but when in comparison to Eva...simply she's the angel and I'm the devil. If that made sense. Although I think I've been rubbing off on her lately. Don't know if that's considered a good thing or a bad thing.
Anyway when we finally got where we were going we all piled into limos and rode off to the hotel. This hotel was so much larger than the last one it was freakin awesome. We found out that me and Eva would have connecting rooms instead of 2 beds in one room. I was fine with it and it didn't bother me either way. I grabbed my bag and followed Eva upstairs. I caught John giving me a huge smile which made me wonder what he was up to. When we finally found our rooms I frowned at the key hole. I had gotten used to the automatic doors at the few previous hotels. I finally got myself into the room and was greeted by warm yellows and reds. But what really caught my eye was a gift basket on my bed. I stared at it suspiciously as I made my way towards it. I found a clean white envelope with my name written on it. Carefully I opened it and read the card.
Thought I would surprise you. Had the last hotel's spa send this gift basket with a bunch of bath products that I thought you'd like. But there's one catch. You can't use them until the time is right. I told you I'd be waiting for that bubble bath.
I looked at the basket again and smiled. Then there was a knock on the side door. I went over and opened it to see Eva looking frazzled.
"What's up?"
"He bought me shoes!"
"What?" I asked confused. What the hell is she talking about? I thought inwardly. Then I saw a box in her hands. I grabbed it and took the cover off. Inside were a pair of beautiful shoes, heels to be exact.
"When Dave and I went out walking down the strip I saw them in the window of this store. But I didn't get them because they were way over my budget. He must have went back or something and got them." Eva said happily and then she spotted my basket. "I can see why they're best friends." She went over and read the card. After she did she said. "He so wants in your pants."
"He'll have to wait. I don't care how great and sexy he is." I said. I wish that he wasn't so him though sometimes. He's hard to resist but I don't do one night stands. That's another thing that separated me and Eva from the rest of the pack. A lot of the divas and I won't say any names, would give it away for all the wrong reasons. John would just have to wait until we were in a relationship and he was my boyfriend. If he'd ever ask me out cuz I don't have the balls to do it.
Then all at once there was a knock on Eva's room's door, her cell phone rang and my cell phone rang. Jeez aren't we popular? Eva took her cell and went on her way to the door. I answered mine and found that it was John.
"Did you like it?" he asked when I said hello. I smiled because he sounded so giddy.
"Hmmm...I liked the spa stuff but now I have to take a bath with you. Soooo my opinion is kinda up in the air."
"Well you said no to the shower..." he chuckled.
Before I could come up with a good answer to that I heard Eva practically shriek. I looked over to the door from Eva's bed where I had settled just to make sure no one had stabbed her when she opened the door. I watched as Eva practically, no correction she did jump up on Dave and hug him. If you've seen the notebook then you know exactly what I'm talking about.
"I'll buy you a whole new wardrobe if shoes make you react like this." Dave laughed.
"Very expensive shoes." Eva corrected him.
I guess there are some advantages of Dave being 6'5 and Eva being like 5'6. Hmm...I wonder if me and John can do that. I thought to myself until John interrupted them.
"I'm guessing Eva found her shoes?" John asked through my cell.
"Yeah and the mix of Dave coming over kinda creates that effect."
"So what will happen if I come over to your now private room thanks to my connections?"
"I knew you had done something but I thought it was the basket. Aren't you clever. Still not gonna happen though."
"Do you always play hard to get?"
"Only if I really like you." I giggled. The phone on the night stand started ringing. "Hold on while I get the other phone." I said as I moved over and picked the other one up. "Hello?" I asked.
"Where the hell is Eva? I tried her cell and she never picked it up." Alicia's voice sounded through the phone.
"Yeah there was this frenzy with shoes and Dave." I replied trying not to laugh at the two . "I'll explain later."
"Well me and some of the others wanted to know if you and Eva wanted to go down to the pool and swim. You know instead of actually heading to the gym." Alicia replied.
"That sounds good. I don't think Eva has anything to do yet...so uh I'll meet you down there in a little bit." I said hanging up.
"Alicia says you have to pick up your phone when she calls." I said to Eva.
"Oh, I totally forgot my cell had even rang." Eva smiled at Dave.
"Ah speaking of cell phones." I paused and grabbed mine. "Sorry Alicia wanted to know if we'd go down to the pool with the girls."
"That's ok. Oh that reminds me though, can you give the phone to Dave for a minute." John responded.
"Sure." I replied and passed it to Dave who gave a questioned look. I just shrugged and told Eva who agreed to go down to the pool with me. We watched as Dave nodded and said "Yeah I'll be there." and hung up.
"So, Dave you wanna go to the pool with us?" Eva asked.
"Me and John have to go to a meeting to talk with Vince but you two have fun and maybe the four of us can go out to dinner later." he said leaving.
Me and Eva shrugged and just decided to get ready. About 10 minutes later we were ready and going down to meet at the pool. When we got there I spotted AJ, Alicia, and Eve who we usually hung out with. Then I noticed Michelle, Layla, and Kelly had also gathered around the pool. They weren't really considered our friends but more of acquaintances that we would smile at and wave if we saw them. And what do you know we were doing just that. I lay on a lawn chair in between Alicia and Eva. We all continued to chat and sun bathe for awhile until I decided enough of the baking and that I needed a drink. Eva, AJ, and I headed over to the pool side bar. While we waited in line we made small talk.
"See girl I knew that color would look great on you." AJ said talking about my bathing suit I had bought on our shopping spree. It was a simple crimson bikini with a little flaring on the waist line that kinda made it look like a really short skirt. The top tied around the neck.
"Yeah well I envy both of your tans. No matter how hard I try it never gets as dark as either of you. Those pastel colors look great with a tan." I pouted. Eva was wearing a lilac bikini and Joy a coral colored one. They both just laughed.
"Hey you guys." The twins said coming up behind us.
"Alicia wanted to know if you'd get her a fruit punch or something." Brie spoke up.
"Yeah no problem." I said turning around to give the guy my order. "I'll have one fruit punch and a lemonade."
Once we had all gotten our drinks we started to head back. I had turned around for a mere second it seemed so I could get a napkin from AJ. But when I turned back around I ran into someone and ended up spilling Alicia's red drink all over the white bikini that was in front of me. I realized that it had been Melina who just stood there shaking. She looked so embarrassed that for a second I actually felt sorry for her. That lasted about a millisecond as soon as she opened her mouth and shrieked.
"What are you blind! Look at my brand new white bikini!"
"Hey it was an accident." I said trying not to scream back at her. But that high pitched shriek she always seemed to use was not helping to calm my nerves.
"I don't give a fuck what it was. Because what it was, was you ruining my NEW suit!"
That was it! I didn't give a shit anymore. "For a second I was sorry, but now when I think of it, I'm glad this happened. Because if you just bought that, you need to go out and buy something that actually fits. It might be hard with those balloons of yours, but give it a try so that I don't have to see you spilling out all over the place." I said to her seething.
"One day you're going to pay. Don't think I won't hurt you!"
"Try it!" I burst out but Eva held me back. I watched as Maryse, I think the only female friend Melina has, covered her with a towel and got her to leave. Eva forced me back to our seats.
"I should be mad that my fruit punch was wasted on that bitch." Alicia contemplated. "But that was just too satisfying to watch." she laughed.
I shook my head and just grinned watching the pool. Deciding to swim, I walked over to the deep end and dived in. Correction, I pretty much leaped and fell in because I can't dive even though I'm a great swimmer. How sad, oh well. Getting my exercise for the day I swam around for about two hours. I was getting tired so I decided to head back up to my room and take a nap. I wasn't really big on doing that but uh was I tired. Between the going to bed kinda late last night and getting up super early this morning I earned it.
Quickly getting into the shower I washed all the gross chlorine off and out of my hair. That was the only thing I could not stand about hotel pools. The chlorine smell made me wanna gag sometimes. Anyways I put my wet hair into a bun and threw on a pair of cute Gumby boxers with a blue tank top. I proceeded to lovingly crawl into the comfy soft bed and it seemed not soon after I was sound asleep. I awoke to warm breath on my neck and whispers in my ear.
"I have my own sleeping beauty. I wonder if I kiss her, if she'll wake up."
"You could have tried except I'm already awake." I giggled turning around and facing him. "What time is it?" I asked this time it was more like a tired moan.
"About 6:30, around there." he answered with a smile playing on his lips.
"How'd you get in?"
"Eva let me in through her room cuz you weren't answering your door."
"Yeah well I must say this wake up call is a lot nicer than the one this morning."
"I'll keep that in mind."he said kissing me so softly on my forehead it was almost as if he hadn't.
And of course my stomach had to growl and ruin the moment.
"That reminds me. I haven't eaten anything except those peanuts this morning."
"You want the 4 of us to go out and eat."
"I don't really feel like getting dressed." I pouted making him grin.
"How about we order some food up and play some playstation?"
"Make it lots of pizza and you have yourself a deal."
"Aight, lets go over to my room and I'll hook it up." he said lifting me off the bed.
"Put me down, you're gonna drop me." I said worried. Defying gravity wasn't really common for me so being carried felt really weird.
"Trust me you're light as a feather. If I can lift the Big Show and JBL's heavy ass then you shouldn't even worry." he said making me laugh.
Soon I was scoffing down slices of pizza and playing one of my favorite wrestling games. Me and Eva had created our own characters and put them into story-lines. Kicking ass on the game some how made me feel peaceful. But after awhile my hands started to hurt so I took a break.
"Hey I got copies of the pics on my camera for you while you were asleep." Eva said handing me a small stack. I started looking at them and smiled at the ones of me and John. He started looking over my shoulder and snatched the one of us kissing.
"I'll be keeping this one." he said with a sly smile. "And this one." he said taking the cute one of us smiling together. I glared at him.
"Eva you need to make me some copies of the ones John just took." I said shuffling through the rest in my hand. I noticed a pattern forming though. "Hey Eva why are there like 10 pictures of body parts?"
"I guess Randy has a crush on someone." Eva laughed causing me to smile. I'd definitely get to the bottom of that.
3rd person POV
Dave nudged John to get his attention. He cleared his throat to get the attention of the two girls who had settled themselves on John's bed and started to watch television. They looked to him curiously.
"I thought it would be a good time to talk about what me and John discussed during our meeting today." he stated
"Yeah because it concerns both of you." John cleared up. In response they got raised eyebrows. "We had been talking the other day with some of the other people from the locker room and we came up with a great idea." John continued.
"So we went to Vince and saw how we could work it all out. He liked our ideas and so he wanted the two of you to think of your images and how you wanted to come across to the fans." Dave said.
"Wait... what? I'm not fully getting what you guys are talking about." Shannon said confused.
"We convinced Vince that you guys would be good for the WWE and so he's thinking of having you sign some contracts to wrestle or well be new divas. We came up with how to work you two in. All you have to do is come up with a "character" or something and get it passed by the big guys. Then the writers can put together some story lines."
"You've gotta be kidding." Shannon said shocked. She had always thought it might be fun to be out there and really wrestle and all that, but then again women really weren't...really portrayed in a way Shannon liked that much. "Would we actually wrestle or just be another piece of eye candy? Cuz I'm not being in some damn lingerie pillow fight. If I were some kinda diva I'd have to beat bitches up like my girls Lita or Trish."
"That's how we got the idea. We were thinking how the women's division needed to be expanded and add more women interested in wrestling." Dave replied.
"One big problem with that. Me and Shannon really don't know how to wrestle." Eva pointed out.
"Edge asked Lita if she'd be interested in training you guys and she agreed. Training will take a couole of months of all out dedication and then we can put you in and see how you do and go from there. All you guys have to do now is decide if you wanna sign the contracts and make it official or not."
"I don't know, I mean I never really thought about it. And I'm not sure I'd be that good in handling fans or whatever." Eva replied. "I'll do it if Shannon does though." That made everyone look to Shannon.
"What do you say Shannon?"John asked looking at her.
A/N: What do you know a cliffhanger? Guess you'll have to find out their decision in the next chapter. Even though I'm not actually sure what their decision is. What do you guys think it should be? If they say yes then I'll have to decide on what their "characters" should be. Hmmm... well if anyone has any ideas lemme know. I'm all ears. Well not literally cuz that would be kinda weird lol. Drop me some reviews! Much love to those who have and will.
