Chapter 5-
"You guys can you please tell me who I will be walking into this restaurant and seeing?" Olivia begged. "Do I know him?" she asked.
"Will you trust us?" Mickie asked.
"Put yourself in my shoes for a second, wouldn't you want to know?"
"Girl if I put myself in your shoes I'd run away with them cause those are too cute!" Mickie said before laughing. Olivia just shook her head and laughed. "And yeah I would want to know, but then that would kind of ruin the whole blind date thing." Mickie added.
"Okay, he's here!" Barbie exclaimed as she ran over to the other two girls after peeking in the restaurant window. "Now just find the man with the yellow rose."
Olivia gulped. "Here I go." She said as she just stood there staring at the door.
Barbie and Mickie each grabbed an arm and began pulling her towards the door. Olivia finally gave in and opened it because she thought they were going to yank her arms off. "Good luck!" Mickie and Barbie whispered as they ran away from the building, leaving her standing there in the doorway. She scanned over the room and her legs about buckled when she saw who it was. She took in a deep breath and began walking over to him. "John?" she asked. John looked up at her and she looked in his hands, he was holding a yellow rose.
John studied the diva in the red dress. "A red dress." He said real low and then looked to the table. Olivia stood there awkwardly. She began to think of ways to strangle Mickie and Barbie. John stood up and pulled her chair back for her. She kindly thanked him and took a seat. After she sat down he handed her the rose. "I believe this belongs to you." He said with a smile. Once again she thanked him.
She nervously fiddled with the glass of water that was sitting on the table. "Um, John can I ask you something?"
"Yeah sure." John said, glad she finally began to speak because he was really starting to feel strange.
"I thought you had a girlfriend. If you did, why would you let Mick and Barbie set you up on a blind date?"
"Well…" he began. "Liz actually broke up with me a week ago. Mickie was absolutely thrilled because she never liked Liz. Barbie too. I don't know why though, Liz is actually a great person. I thought I was going to marry her."
Olivia slowly nodded her head. When those words came out of his mouth, she felt like someone punched her right in the gut. "Why'd she break up with you?"
"I honestly have no idea. Maybe because I'm always traveling? I just don't know. I would really like to find out though. You can't just go and break someone's heart without telling them why."
"Yeah, that's not right." She quietly agreed.
"Why'd you break up with your boyfriend?" he asked.
As soon as he did, she quickly jerked her head up with cause her hand to tip over the glass of water. She quickly jumped up and covered her mouth when she saw the water poured onto John's lap. "I am so sorry." She said while John grabbed a napkin and began to dry his pant leg. A waiter had made his way over to the table and began drying off the water that was on the table.
"Least you didn't purposely pour it on me. Last blind date I was on, which was about 3 years ago, resulted in that." He said with a laugh.
"Really I didn't mean to. I am so sorry." She apologized again.
"It's fine." He reassured her. "So the ex thing was kind of a bad subject to bring up?"
"Oh um, well its just, uh, it's just hard to talk about that one. Today of all days."
"I'm a good listener."
She took in a deep breath and began to talk. "Well back in high school I had a crush one of my two brothers friends, Ty. Of course I told Sabrina all about it and didn't realize my brothers were eavesdropping. Naturally they tell me to stay away from him because he's just a player and he'd wind up hurting me. When Kyle and Justin told me not to do something, I always did it. After I graduated, Ty and I began hanging out became good friends, and then on my 23rd birthday he asked me if I wanted to go out. I told him yes. One year later, I find out he had been cheating on me with quite a few other women throughout that year we dated."
"Wow that's a real jerk right there."
"Yeap."
"Earlier you said today of all days…"
"I ran into this morning when the girls and I went out for coffee, and he was at the show and I couldn't concentrate knowing he was there. At Starbucks he was going on and on with his usual crap and it's just stirring so many emotions through my mind."
"I know how you feel. I feel like my mind is going to explode with all these feelings I'm having."
"You can still fix your relationship though. You did nothing wrong. I think you need to sit down and talk with Liz, figure out why.
"Hey you didn't do anything wrong with Ty. Ty is a jerk who treated you like crap. You deserve a lot better than that."
"Thanks." She said with a smile.
"I got an idea." He said.
"What's that?"
"We get out of here and go to a bar or something. Somewhere where it isn't awkward for two friends to hang out." He told her.
She faked a smile, "Sounds like a good idea."

Cody, Ted, and Sabrina walked into a bar where they all three began to look around. Ted glanced over at Cody and then a small smile spread across his face. "Hello?" he yelled into his phone over the music. "Okay hun I'm on my way right now."
Cody raised an eyebrow when he looked over at Ted. "Hey guys I am really sorry, but my wife just called. She decided to fly out here and she needs me to come pick her up at the airport." Ted yelled to the two.
"Oh ok. Be careful driving over there!" Sabrina yelled back. "And I can't wait to meet here, she sounds like a real nice person."
Ted's smile was quickly wiped away. When Cody noticed this, he tried so hard not to laugh. "Thanks. She is. Well I'll see you two later!" he said and then quickly left.
"Looks like it's just you and me now." She told Cody and patted him on the shoulder.
"Looks like it. Well do you want to grab a drink?" he asked.
"Yeah." She said and then followed Cody to the bar. "So did you always know you wanted to be a wrestler?" Sabrina asked.
"Not really. I thought about doing something different, but realized wrestling is my life. It was meant to be." He said with a smile before taking a sip of his beer. "What about you?"
"Well my sister and I always wanted to be famous. We were actually going to pursue a singing career but my mom signed us up for modeling. Ticked me and my sister off, but we didn't complain. Our agent worked with us a lot because she said we had great potential. Her husband is actually an owner of a Gold's Gym in Florida, so she sent us to him to kind of get in shape or whatever. After he thought we were ready, he introduced us to someone who works with OVW. After that, that was when I knew we found what we were meant to do. Of course like I said before about my brothers, they got us into watching wrestling when we were 8 so that also played a huge role in it."
"That's really cool. People always tell me I got in the easy way. That I got in just because I am a 3rd generation."
"See I think completely opposite. The way I look at it, ya'll bust your butts just as much as everyone else to succeed in the business. If you aren't a good wrestler whether you're a 3rd generation superstar or someone that has been training since they were little, you won't make it very far."
Cody smiled. "Exactly."
Sabrina smiled back and looked down at her drink. There was a brief moment of silence before Sabrina began to speak again. "I can't believe Vince is adding more to the storyline."
"You and me both." Cody said just before taking a big gulp of his drink.
"I hope I am ready." She said.
"You've done great so far. You were born to do this." Cody told her, with a warm, comforting smile.
She couldn't help but smile back. "Thank you. You are a very sweet guy you know that?"
"Yeah, I know." He smirked.
"A bit cocky I see."
"It comes with the name." he said throwing his hands up in his defense.
Sabrina laughed. "You're crazy."
"How's everyone doing tonight?" the owner of the bar yelled as he got up on stage. "I want to thank this wonderful band right here behind me. They've done such a great job so far tonight." He said and then everyone began to cheer. "WHOOOOO!" he yelled. "Alright alright alright, there's been what I like to call a karaoke challenge." He said. "A very famous someone is here tonight and I told him if he got up here and sang a song, I'd order his shirt. To my surprise he agreed as long as I got the hat to go with the shirt. Ladies and gentlemen may I introduce to you, WWE diva Olivia Young and WWE superstar John Cena!"
Cody and Sabrina quickly looked at each other before jumping down and running onto the dance floor trying to get closer to the stage.
John: "Now I've had the time of my life. No I never felt like this before. Yes I swear, it's the truth, and I owe it all to you."
Olivia: "Cause I've had the time of my life, and I owe it all to you."
John: "I've been waiting for so long, now I've finally found someone to stand by me."
Olivia: "We saw the writing on the wall as we felt this magical fantasy."
John and Olivia: "Now with passion in our eyes, there's no way we could disguise it secretly. So we take each others hand, cause we seem to understand the urgency."
John: "Just remember.."
Olivia: "You're the one thing.."
John: "I can't get enough of."
Olivia: "So I'll tell you something."
John and Olivia: "This could be love because, I've had the time of my life. No I never felt this way before. Yes I swear, it's the truth, and I owe it all to you."
Cody and Sabrina were laughing and dancing while watching them up on stage. "This is great blackmail!" Sabrina said in between laughs.
Olivia: "With my body and soul, I want you more than you'll ever know."
John: "So we'll just let it go, don't be afraid to lose control."
Olivia: "Yes I know what's on your mind when you say 'stay with me tonight'."
John: "Just remember, you're the one thing.."
Olivia: "I can't get enough of.."
John: "So I'll tell you something,"
John and Olivia: "This could be love because, I've had the time of my life. No I never felt this way before. Yes I swear, it's the truth, and I owe it all to you. Cause I've had the time of my life, and I've searched through every open door, till I found, the truth, and I owe it all to you.
John: "Now I've had the time of my life. No I never felt like this before. . Yes I swear, it's the truth, and I owe it all to you."
John and Olivia: "Cause I've had the time of my life, no I never felt this way before. Yes I swear, it's the truth, and I owe it all to you. Cause I've had the time of my life, and I've searched through every open door, till I found, the truth, and I owe it all to you."
Once the music stopped the crowd exploded. John looked over at Olivia who had covered her mouth with her hand and was laughing. He picked her up and sat her on his shoulders while the crowd cheered. Cody turned to Sabrina who was just smiling and laughing. When she felt herself being stared at she turned to look at Cody. As soon as she did, she was shocked with a kiss.
