Chapter Ten
The next morning John was up before Randy and carefully slipped out of bed to make a call. Sliding the bedroom door shut he took a seat in the living area and dialed his phone. When he finished Randy was opening the door stepping out of the room with Lily
"Did I wake you?"
"No. I never sleep well when you're not there and Miss Lily told me that it's time to get up." John smiled at his husband and daughter. "Who were you on the phone with?"
"No one."
"So you just hung up after talking with no one?"
"Yes." John walked to the bathroom. Randy stared daggers at his husbands back
"He's up to something Lily. Your papa is sneaky." She just stared at him. John walked out of the bathroom and took a warm bottle and Lily from Randy. "Do you want French toast?"
"I'd love French toast." Randy stared out the window of the bus as he beat the egg batter for their breakfast
"Where are we right now?"
"We should be in Florida."
"Is it okay if Li and I just hang out at the hotel tonight instead of coming to the show? We'll be there tomorrow night for Raw."
"Are you still worried Ran?"
"A little. I don't want to be any closer to him than necessary."
"Then stay at the hotel. I want you to feel safe."
That Evening
"I'm going over to the arena buttercup."
"Okay. We'll see you later tonight." John kissed Randy then Lily and left the room. Sometime during the evening Randy fell asleep and woke with a start when he felt the bed dip and a hand caressing his cheek
"Johnny? You're back already?" The hand travelled down his body and stopped at the button of his jeans, popping it open. Randy squirmed and moaned at the touch. The mystery hand then dipped into Randy's jeans and then paused at the realization that he wasn't wearing underwear. John would expect me to not be wearing them. It's not John! Randy immediately opened his eyes to see Cody leering at him
"How did you get in here?"
"Don't worry about that right now. Lay back down so I can finish what I started." Randy jumped off the bed and re-buttoned his jeans
"No Cody. This is not going to happen."
"Randy," Cody stepped closer and took Randy's hand in his. "The heart wants what the heart wants."
"What about my heart? It doesn't want you. Didn't Hunter talk to you about this?"
"He did…right after your little bitch of a husband ratted on me."
"Don't blame John; I called Hunter because John was on his way to kill you. What part of I don't want you are you not understanding? I have a family and it's not with you. It will never be with you. Ever."
"I think if you let me I can change your mind. You, me, Lily we can be happy." At the mention of his daughter Randy saw red and before he knew it Cody was sprawled on the floor clutching his jaw. He licked the blood on his lip and smiled devilishly at Randy. He stood
"Not as hard as John but a good punch none-the-less." Randy balled his hand into a fist and Cody put his hand up. "I'm leaving." On his way out his leaned down into the bassinet and kissed Lily on her cheek. Later when John came back he walked in and saw Randy lying on the bed with an arm over his eyes. Stealthily, John walked over and put a knee on the bed. Feeling the bed dip Randy's arm flew out punching John in the nose
"Ow Randy! What the hell was that for?"
"John? I'm sorry. I thought,"
"You thought what? Damn that hurt."
"I thought you were Cody."
"Why would I be Cody? Did he come here?"
"Yes. I fell asleep and didn't realize what time it was. I thought it was you when he put his hand in my pants,"
"He what?"
"He popped the button on my jeans and put his hand in my pants!"
"I'm going to hurt him."
"Don't bother because I think he gets off on that sort of thing. I punched him and he smiled. Told me I don't hit as hard you do."
"Is that all?"
"Is that all what?"
"Is that all he did?"
"Oh; he kissed Lily on his way out the door." With a primal roar John punched the wall causing Randy to flinch and a startled Lily to cry out. "John!" Randy went to soothe their daughter while John stormed out of the room. When he returned hours later he saw Randy sitting with his back against the headboard holding Lily
"Don't even open your mouth John. I just got her to calm down."
"Did I scare her?"
"What did I just say?" John went to the bathroom and started the shower. He stepped under the hot water and just let it hit his body and ease away some of the tension. A few minutes later John felt a cool rush of air as the bathroom door opened. He could see Randy's silhouette undressing. A second or two later Randy stepped into the shower
"Why do you like the water so hot?"
"I'm tense."
"Let me relax you babe." He said as he planted a kiss on John's shoulder
"I didn't mean to scare you or Li."
"I know." Randy said softly as he reached around and gently started to stroke John's semi-erection. John shuddered as Randy brushed a thumb over his leaking tip
"Ran."
"Shush John and let me take care of you for once."
A Few Nights Later
"This is going against my better judgment but I'm putting you in a match tonight with Rhodes. I understand that the two of you have some unfinished business and if you're going to do anything to him I would prefer if you did it and entertained the fans at the same time."
"Okay."
"Don't do anything to make me regret this John." John shrugged
"I don't know what you're talking about Hunter." Randy sat with Lily in John's locker room with John's hired security posted outside the door. He was very nervous about tonight and he didn't know why. The door opened and John walked in
"What's going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"What was the meeting about?"
"Hunter told me that he was going to put me in a match tonight against Cody." Randy stared at his husband
"Tell me what you're thinking John."
"I'm trying not to actually." Randy sighed. That didn't ease his fears one bit
"Just be careful out there okay?"
"Oh I'll be fine." Randy watched the match from the back and just as his nervous stomach started to settle John hoisted Cody on his shoulders for an AA and slammed him down. He went for the cover while his opponent just lay there. After the bell rang John made sure to stay in character as he checked on Cody
"Leave me and my family alone Rhodes." He hissed in the man's ear and then he signaled for the ref who looked at him. "I think it's his neck, ref." John waited for medical personnel to come to the ring then he went to the back with a smirk on his face
"John."
"Yes Hunter."
"You have broken a golden rule of wrestling…watching out for your opponent. This ends now."
"I wanted it to end a long time ago."
"Cena." John held up his hands
"It's over." While Cody was in the hospital recovering from neck surgery John, being is ever polite self, made sure to send Cody a Get Well gift…from The Cena's
