Chapter 5-The Secrets We Hold.
"So if you were alone, how come Torrie Wilson was coming out of your room this morning?" Phil's words were circling around John's mind.
Seconds passed, since John had found himself in sudden silence. The mystery involving last night. The secret romantic night he had shared with the beautiful blonde, Torrie could have been revealed.
Did Phil know? How in the world is John going to explain?
John felt the ability to say something, his mindful thoughts had been shot out of the window. There was no thoughts about tonight? The way Survivor Series had ended tonight…none of it. For that moment, Wrestlemania 28 taking place on April 1st wasn't in his mind.
After the Wwe Champion's sudden question, was all Cena could think about.
"….What? W-hy? Why would Torrie Wilson be in my hotel room this morning? What?" John chuckled nervously.
Phil blinked, with his arms folded. "I don't know, that's why I'm asking you?"
John started to feel the breath in his body increase, for the first time in a long time. Cena felt the sensation of nerves building up. "That's just…crazy, are you sure you're not seeing things. Torrie and Me…..we're not…that close…I heard she is in Texas….we are in New York so how, how can you say that?" John said in one breath
"Just crazy." John just laughed, trying to cover up the nervous look building on his face.
"Great way to stay calm….you moron"
Phil shook his head, he was adamant on what he had seen this morning. "I saw Torrie late last night"
John listened to Phil, he heard Torrie's voice echo in his mind. He had remembered Torrie telling him that she had bumped into Phil last night before the night took a sudden turn to romance.
"I'm sorry, but someone saw me, Phil….Cm Punk"
"Oh…that Torrie," with a slow nod, a small grin appeared on Cena's face
"Well what other Torrie Wilson do you think I'm talking about?" Phil asked in a "Duh" tone.
"You know blonde woman, smoking hot. Playboy Cover Girl….cute smile, all about innocence" Punk told.
John stood in front of Phil, while he remembered the softness of her skin. "Yeah, that's Torrie alright"
Phil stared at John waiting for an answer to his burning question. Cena remained standing there in silence. "So…."
John shook his head, "…Yeah that's Torrie alright" he repeated the exact sentence. Cena was speaking, but there wasn't a expression on his face. He was just standing there like a statue.
"John"
He shook his head, snapping out of his trance/slash dream world. He had the light of an angel's smile on his mind. "Sorry what?"
"You still haven't answered my question! Why was Torrie coming out of your room?"
John realised, he hadn't answered that. Once again, he hadn't thought of what to say. It took him by surprise. He needed an excuse. Quick and fast. The truth couldn't be revealed, well certainly not at this moment in time. Phil wouldn't understand…..if John is honest. He didn't quite understand either.
Sure Torrie was an close, personal friend. John had always knew she was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen. He knew she was a kind, strong, desirable, sweet woman. He had built a lovely friendship with her….
Before last night, they hadn't seen each other in almost 2 years. He has bumped into her here and there as he travels around the world with WWE. But he hasn't spent over an hour with her ever since last night.
As the time flew by, the bond had drifted. John continued with his life, while Torrie continued with her own. Sure they were friends, great friends….so how in the world did they last night end up in bed together?
Surely you'll have to feel some kind of feelings before? How can two friends just take their 8 year friendship, to a whole new level…in just one moment.
Why did it feel so right? When in reality…it felt wrong. In the heart of John Cena, it felt right. In the sense of his mind. It felt wrong. Sure last night had left John with conflicted emotions.
"John! Will you love of god answer the question! The show is going to start soon. I want to be enjoying my mum's Christmas dinner by year 2020" Phil spoke.
"Okay…." John paused, he lowered his eyes to the ground keeping his head up straight. He had to think of something right now!
"I saw Torrie late last night, we went to the gym together this morning."
Phil tilted his head, "So where did you see her?"
"The elevator, she got trapped in there….so I helped her by calling the security"
Phil nodded his head. "So she stayed with you"
"Sure, only for a few hours but we went to the gym together"
"What at 5am in the morning?"
John blinked, as he breathed in. "Well you know Torrie's an early bird….so yeah"
"That would make sense, I saw her coming out of your room at 10"
"Yeah she got changed, she's gone now back to LA I think"
"If she lives in Texas why is she going to LA?"
"Well that's what she told me" John knew Torrie lived in LA, he just acted clueless that way, it would decrease Phil's suspicions.
"Wow that's strange, running into Torrie like that"
"Yeah when she came out of the elevator, I was shocked…."
"I thought she was trapped in it"
"Well she was, but security got it open. She was quite shook up so I took her back to mine, since I was a friend so we talked for a few hours till she calmed down"
Phil slowly nodded before he laughed. John wondered if it was good thing or a bad thing. Did Phil believe him?
"Oh well that is relief, I thought you and Torrie slept together" Phil laughed.
John looked at Phil, he had to lower his head to floor or else he would have given the truth away. "What? No…I wouldn't have done that….that's just crazy"
"Yeah I know, talk about a sin"
John perked his head up with a sudden look of surprise "Huh?"
"Well you're still married" Phil reminded John.
John looked at Phil, that was the sudden moment it all came back to him. Hit him like a thunderbolt. John felt like he had been suddenly punched in the face by Big Show. Phil's words had blindsided him.
"Yeah, separated but yeah…that's why" Cena slowly nodded.
"Well legally you are still married, so….but luckily that wasn't the case. I knew you wouldn't have been so careless or stupid, or reckless. Or irresponsible…" John looked at Phil, struggling with his sudden feelings.
John gulped down the dry lump in his throat, "Yeah, yeah I get it" Cena interrupted, even though all those words were circling in his mind.
Phil flung the wwe championship on his shoulder, "Well I've got a show to steal"
"Careful Phil, Shawn hears you say that. He will be back before you can say "Best In The World"
"I'm not a stepping in anyone's shoes, buddy. I'm just the Best Wrestler In The World" Punk shrugged with a cheeky grin.
John smiled softly as Phil left the locker room. John watched the door close, leaving him alone. John sat down on the bench. He turned his head towards the wall.
His baby-blue eyes underneath his black baseball cap gazed to the wall. His divorce proceedings were just starting, if his night with Torrie unveils. He could be in trouble knowing his estranged, vengeful wife…she could seriously use it to her advantage.
A Husband spending the night with a former colleague when he was still married…..that could come with a serious backlash.
"Oh I am so screwed…" John let out a sigh of breath, lowering his eyelashes thinking of his recent predicament.
"How could you be so careless….ugh damn you Dwayne?" truthfully as much as he wanted to, he couldn't blame what The Rock did, it was John's choice to return the kiss from Torrie.
It wasn't clear who made the first move, both leaned in for the kiss as the same time. It felt they were on the same edge, Torrie and John just fell together. Now because the magical rhythm had faded. They were separated, the reality of what had happened started to kick in.
"I should have just gone out, if Dwayne hadn't treated me like a moron….I wouldn't have seen Torrie….." John thought.
"I should have just got on with it, went out with Phil. Wouldn't have screwed it up."
"I regret it…." John lifted his head, something strange hit him.
Thinking alone, He didn't regret it, regardless what had happened. What the future could hold? One thing was true.
"No I don't regret it…"
If the secret of last night be revealed, John Cena could find himself in serious trouble.
His personal life & professional life could be in jeopardy.
The secrets he held, deep within his heart. John didn't care of the consequences.
He will just hope and pray there isn't any. One thing, Cena found.
He didn't regret the special night with Idaho Sweetheart.
….
Torrie heard the call, the plane had landed back in LA. When it was safe to let off the plane. Torrie stood up, she got her belongings together and made her way to the exit. Picking her suitcase off the luggage point. Torrie wheeled her black suitcase to leave the airport.
As she made her way to the exit, the blonde was stopped by fans. This was a regular thing, being a WWE Diva for 9 years. Torrie was a well known person in the world. Every time she is stopped by passers by, wanting autographs and pictures.
Torrie always handled it with a polite, warm smile. She'll always stop and take a picture whoever would ask. No matter what kind of mood she was in, she would manage it always with nothing but politeness, warm welcoming.
Torrie went through the automatic doors, she located her car that was parked in the airport. She opened her boot of the silver Mercedes, she placed her suitcase in the car. She walked to the driver door. Torrie unlocked her car, she stepped in her car and drove away from the airport.
Torrie flicked through the radio stations, she always loved driving with music on.
"Oh Lady Gaga" Torrie smiled as she heard "Edge Of Glory"
There ain't no reason you and me should be alone Tonight,And I got a reason that you're who should take me home tonight
I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight
It's hard to feel the rush, to push the dangerous I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with youWhere we can both fall over in love
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge,I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with youI'm on the edge with you.
Torrie continued to sing along to the radio with a flick of her blonde hair. She turned the steering wheel driving up the road, singing and also thinking of the lyrics of the song.
"God I wish John was here"
Torrie suddenly stopped singing, after the sudden thought. "Wait what?" Torrie couldn't stop thinking about John. The lyrics of the song, seem to get her mind drifting back and forth to John.
"God he has….the most beautiful eyes, and the smile…god and the body" the thoughts just kept sliding through her mind.
Torrie shook her head, doing her best to concentrate on the road. Torrie honestly didn't need to be in some kind of car accident. "Stop thinking about him, just one night, one….moment….one fantastic night"
Torrie gripped her hand on the steering wheel, she parked on the side of the road. She stopped her car. She was being on the safe side. After she took her key out to stop her car. Torrie leaned back on the seat, closing her eyes.
"Just stop it, okay….you need to move on, you need to get hold of yourself or else people will start to guess….." Torrie tried her best to maintain control.
Torrie let her head lean on the steering wheel, she took in a soft but deep breath. Starting the car the once again, she drove back home.
It was clear, the last night had definitely had a sudden affect on her.
…..
"John Cena!" John entered the room, a delighted make a wish child's eyes grew when his favourite superstar entered the room.
John bent down on one knee, to warmly embrace the child. "Well I think I'm doing okay so far" he chuckled as the family smiled.
It was such a blessing, to see smiles on the families face to just forget the life dramas and have the time of their lives. If John can deliver that, it feels such a honour.
John signed a few merchandise, he did his autograph on the side of his "Rise Above Hate" hat. He smiled widely. It warmed his heart to see smiles on the children's face.
He saw the older sister standing by the door, he walked over to her. "You're the sister, I assume?"
The young girl nodded her head shyly.
"I think you're family is amazing"
"I've never seen my brother so happy, thank you" the girl smiled.
John smiled warmly "What's your name sweetheart?"
"KellyMarie" she told.
"That's a pretty name"
"It's kind of a full name, middle name thing. People call me Kelly. Only my dad calls me KellyMarie when I'm in trouble"
John nodded his head while he grinned cutely. "Are you a long-time fan?"
"I've watched WWE since 2001, most of my favourites are all gone. There's only you left, you've been my favourite since 2002. I think you're amazing" Kelly smiled.
"I just wish I wasn't meeting you under these circumstances" KellyMarie lowered her head to hide the tears.
"Aw it's alright, I'm happy to meet you too" John hugged Kelly. "And I think you're amazing too" he winked, sweetly grinning.
"So who were your favourites?" John asked.
"Well you, Shawn Michaels, Edge, my favourite Diva is Torrie Wilson"
John looked at the young girl, "Oh yeah…" why has his life suddenly involved Torrie? What seem to shock him even more. His smile surfaced on his face.
"I Idolise her, she was my favourite. I miss her in wwe. I thought she was kind, sweet, strong, could wrestle. I never used to watch RAW till you both came on to Raw" She explained. John hadn't said a word, but he agreed.
"Well maybe someday, she'll return. You'll see her again"
Kelly smiled "I hope so,"
John just smiled back, before he signed the book, Kelly had. He and Kelly walked back to the family for a group family photo.
What had taken John by surprise, is he hoped one day. He'll see Torrie return.
The secret was, truly John Cena wanted to see Torrie again.
…
Torrie opened her front door, she blew out a breath finally she was back home. She closed her door. As she walked into the living room. There was no welcoming voices, it was just pure silence. All Torrie had for company was four walls, she took off her black jacket. She walked to the couch and laid down.
Torrie lied on the couch, closing her eyes taking in the silence.
A sudden knock on the door, made Torrie's eyes re open. "Ugh just one second" she moaned, Torrie got to her feet.
Torrie opened the front door, immediately smiled when she saw Candice Michelle standing with "Chloe, Stewie and Pepper" Torrie's loyal, lovable puppies.
"Oh my babies! I've missed you so much" Torrie grabbed them all to give them a warm hug. Chloe, Stewie and Pepper all nuzzled Torrie's face happy to see their mother return from her trip.
"Hey babe, how was the trip?" Candice walked in.
Torrie released her pups, they all stayed play on the living room floor. "Yeah it was great, just got back" Torrie relaxed on the sofa.
Candice looked at Torrie, "Great, so are you feeling better about your break up?"
"Yeah I am," Torire smiled.
"Well something is definitely different" Candice spoke.
"What do you mean?"
"The last time I saw you, you were crying in a blanket with ice cream watching The Notebook" Candice said sitting on the sofa.
Torrie walked back in the living room with two mugs of coffee. She extended the cup of Candice, while she let her smile shine.
"Well let's just say…..New York had a surprising healing remedy" Torrie hinted.
Candice looked on smiling amusedly "Well I'm happy to hear it"
"More like John Cena's arms had a healing remedy"
"Yep, I'm all cried out, fell down and got back up ready for the next thing in life" Torrie spoke, while she sipped on her hot drink.
"I'd say it's exactly what you needed"
"Hmm definitely" Torrie smirked. "I'm ready to move on with my life…"
"I see good things in your future" she heard John's voice in her mind, it bought a smile.
"The girl time with Cora and Becky"
Torrie coughed on the gulp of drink, she let out a sudden breath. She had left New York without saying goodbye to Cora and Becky.
"Oh yeah, I need to make a quick phone call." Torrie rushed to her feet, to the hall way to make a phone call letting her friends know. She got home safely. Torrie will have to make up some excuse why she left…without a goodbye.
Safe to say, her senses had definitely been shot out of the window.
…..
John Cena walked down the corridor, it was coming to the end of the show. He had to react to what happened last night, not the secret night romance with Torrie. The events that occurred on the Survivor Series Pay Per View after being shadowed, having it rubbed in his face that Rock is popular than him. It wasn't Cena's night, he found himself on the business end of a rock bottom to send John out of the ring while Rock blazed in the glory.
John continued to walk down the corridor making his way to the black curtain dressed in his usual ring attire, camo jean shorts along with black "Rise Above Hate" shirt, 4 wrist bands two on each wrist, with his black baseball cap on top of his head and black trainers. The silver chain dog tags were visible underneath his shirt.
As he walked along with the corridor, unknown to the camera. Cm Punk caught up with him.
"Hey John, no need to thank me" Phil smiled.
"Thank you? For what?"
"I made you trend worldwide"
John looked on with confusion "What are you talking about? I don't have the faintest idea what you are on about"
"I wrote what you told me on twitter, people say I'm not twitter enough so….need to say no more"
John went as white as a ghost. He felt his heart sink "W…hat? Ohh lets say more" John spoke.
Phil looked at him "There's no need to be embarrassed, you did a good thing last night" he smiled at his friend.
John gulped down "Oh no…please say more"
"I'll show you instead" Phil ended the song he was listening to on his iphone.
John looked over at the lit up screen. "Oh God" he thought while he read the tweet.
He could feel the sudden moment his heart beat almost out of his chest.
"Funny story I heard JohnCena saved Torrie11. She was trapped in a elevator. Nice huh?"
John's eyes read the tweet over and over again. "Oh I am so screwed"
"Like I said you're welcome"
John went to answer, ignoring the rapid thump in his chest. He turned his head towards Punk about to say something.
"John, 2 minutes" the crew member told.
John sighed in relief he made his way to the curtain, Talk about saved by the bell.
Phil waved as the mischievous grin went across his face. "Now I know he slept with Torrie, how stupid does he think I am?" Phil chuckled to himself, turning back to his music.
…...
"So you had a good trip then?" Candice spoke.
Torrie nodded "Yep I did, it's exactly what I needed"
Candice smiled as she curled her legs up on the white couch "I'm so happy to hear you say that, although quite disappointed"
Torrie turned to her friend. "Why?"
"Because I had this whole speech prepared for you, then I hear and see you've completely moved on"
Torrie giggled, "Well I guess I thought, what's the point on crying on something that wasn't in my control. Nick wasn't letting me see a future. What's the point working on something that's not built to last" Torrie spoke.
Candice looked at Torrie, a little more than usual.
"What?" Torrie noticed Candice's stare.
The mother of a baby girl glanced at her good friend. "Nothing, just something about you is different."
"What do you mean?"
"You have a certain glow… I'm not just talking about….your recent attitude"
"I'm absolutely fine" Torrie spoke.
"Well if there is something, you know you can tell me" Candice pressed.
"Yeah I know, Candice I'm more than fine. There's no need crying over something that isn't my choice. Nick didn't want a future with me. So instead of crying, I'm going to look to my future" Torrie explained.
"I know there is a life out for me," Torrie smiled on.
Candice had a twinkle in her eye, "Well I'm glad" Torrie hugged one of her best friend's. Fellow TLC member.
"Hey Candice, you fancy watching Raw with me?"
"RAW? You mean WWE?"
"Yeah, I fancy seeing what is going on" Torrie walked to her television, flicking on the channel that broadcasted Monday Night Raw.
Candice looked on curious, Torrie watches here and there to see what is going on? But it has been a quite a long time for her to sit down and watch it. Torrie walked back to her couch, she curled up her legs up watching the screen. Stewie, the chunky chicaucha cuddled on Torrie's lap.
Candice leaned back, turned her attention to the screen. It was clear, something had changed for Torrie. "Oh Tor,"
"Hmm" Torrie said keeping her eyes fixed on the screen, it was a break.
"Lilian phoned me, she's coming over tomorrow. She has some really good news"
Torrie sipped her coffee cup. "Okay thanks" once again, her eyes didn't faze from the television screen when Monday Night Raw came back from the final commercial break.
Torrie's eyes sparkled, when the music of John Cena plays through the Television screen.
"Well he's still handsome as ever" Candice smiled seeing John Cena on the screen.
Torrie nodded her head, "Definitely. Heart Of A Champion" keeping her eyes fixed on the screen. Her smile slowly surfaced on her face. Even through a TV screen, seeing the handsome smile coming across his face it brought the smile to sparkle on Torrie's face.
She felt close once again, unknown to only two people in the world. Torrie had shared a special moment with the guy on the television.
Torrie kept watching the end segment of the show, John Cena reacted to last night's events involving his opponent at Wrestlemania 28, The Rock. He commented on the aftermath of the match.
They had consisted as a team, then after they had won the match. The Rock called Cena back to the ring, and played "who can get cheered the loudest" after a few words exchanged. Cena went to leave, Rock turned him around to deliver a Rock Bottom sending John Cena out of the ring.
Awesome Truth. The Miz & R Truth interrupted. Proclaiming that John Cena was painting a pretty picture of Rock and Cena teaming up. Rubbing it in John's face that
The Rock stole the show from Cena, he was forced to stand in the shadows. John told them to shut up, and warned there was only one member of the CeNation for them to worry about, and that's John Cena himself.
Cena turned the tables on Awesome Truth, having them turn against each other blaming each other for the loss. Cena left the ring with the last word, as Awesome Truth split for good after The Miz turned his back on his partner.
The Rock may have picked up the pin fall last night, but Cena was the one that ended the threat of Awesome Truth for good.
Torrie turned the channel after Raw had ended, the glow of the sweet grin was still in her face.
Candice curled her hand around her cup of coffee, "Something has definitely changed"
Candice was happy that Torrie wasn't crying, with a blanket wrapped around her. Eating from a ice cream tub with tissues around. Candice was happy Torrie wasn't curling up in a heartbroken mess.
She was happy, her friend wasn't the broken-hearted girl….but from the signs. The young mummy was quite suspicious. Was there more that meets the eye?
Candice may have her suspicions, but the truth is something she hadn't even thought of. Far from the truth.
The secret, Torrie was currently holding had changed her, if even she couldn't notice it. Others can. What will happen once the secret has been revealed?
One thing, Torrie didn't want to give up too soon. She may not know it yet. Torrie didn't want to let go of John. She wanted him back in her life. After all no one had held her heart, embrace like him.
Will her future include John? Unknown…..the fate of the shadows had already made the decision.
Very soon, Torrie& John will find their destiny tied together. They will only have each other to hold and get through the tough times ahead.
The shadows were slowly becoming into the light.
