Sorry this took soooo long! College is a bitch and then when I finally had break for a month all I did was sleep…and party. But now I'm back and I happen to have some free time so I thought let's do this. So I hope you like it! WWE owns all you know and I own those you don't! Enjoy!
Jessica's POV
"Okay class time to put everything away and pack up. I hope you all have a good weekend and I'll see you all Monday!" I finished up my lesson and smiled. It was finally the end of the day and it was a Friday which meant my date with John was tomorrow. To say I was excited was an understatement. I hadn't been on a date in a while after my last boyfriend Evan broke up with me. Apparently a teacher wasn't a profession that was "serious" enough.
On the other side I was extremely nervous about tomorrow. This was a student's father. Plus it was only the end of October…we should have waited longer or not done this at all. Maybe I should call the date off. I can get his number from Anthony's emergency contact card and tell him I can't go tomorrow.
"Ms. Irvine?" a little voice shook me out of my thoughts. I look down to see none other than Anthony Cena standing in front of me.
"Yes, Anthony."
"This is for you, it's from my Dad." He extended a little hand out to me which was holding an envelope. I took it from him and he ran back to his backpack placing different books and folders inside it. I looked at the front of the envelope which had Ms. Irvine written across it. Was he cancelling the date? I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me. I waited until the kids all left before I sat down at my desk and opened the letter.
"Dear Jessica,
I've realized that I have not asked anyone out in a long time and I forgot to ask you if I should pick you up or if we should meet at a place, set up a time, or even pick out a place for that matter. So, here's my number, let me know what's best for you.
-John"
His number was written at the bottom of the note. Should I call him? Text him? Was it even too soon to respond to his note? I'll wait till later…when I'm home…I'll make him think I just read the letter. Perfect. I took a stack of spelling tests that the kids had taken today and began to grade them.
~John's POV~
I watched as Anthony came out of school and looked around. I had to start taking half days on Thursdays and Fridays until I found a new nanny. My mom watches him the other three days, but she can't watch him for much longer, she already raised 5 boys she doesn't need to raise another. Anthony finally spotted me and came running over.
"How was school Champ?" I asked as I took his backpack from him.
"It was good, I gave Ms. Irvine the note you gave me." Well, at least I know she has it.
"Good. Now how bout we go play some baseball?" he looked up at me and gave me the biggest smile. It makes me happy to know that us spending time together means just as much to him as it does me.
We walked to the car and jumped in. Within a few minutes we were at the house and I quickly threw mine and Anthony's things into the house and changed out of my suit. I met Anthony in the backyard, he already had the baseball and the gloves and the bat if we decided to throw some batting in. We played for hours before we decided to order pizza and watch a movie. After eating Anthony and I continued to watch the movie before he fell asleep. I stared at him sleeping and frowned, why would my wife ever want to leave this?
~Jessica's POV~
I sat at home washing my dishes when I decided to call John. I glanced at the note while I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up. When he didn't I decided to leave a message.
"Hey John, its Jessica I want to let you know that I got your letter and whatever is easier for you will work for me. If you could call me back and let me know that'd be great. See you tomorrow!" I hung up and waited for him to call back. I cleaned the house a little bit made sure my dog had food and water and the sat on the couch and watched some TV. I must have dozed off because the next thing I know was jumping up at the sound of my cell phone. John was calling.
"Hello?"
"Hey Jessica, its John."
"Hey how are you?"
"I'm good you?"
"I'm good thanks."
"That's good, I want to apologize for missing your call earlier. I was with Anthony outside and I left my cell phone in my coat and couldn't find it."
"Aw, it's okay." I giggled.
"So any way I was thinking I'll pick you up at 7 and we can go to this Italian restaurant in town that just opened."
"That sounds great." I proceeded to tell him where I lived before we hung up for the night. I went to my bed with a smile on my face. It looks like tomorrow was already shaping up to be a good day. I was going on a date with a handsome guy who had the cutest son. I couldn't help but think about his ex-wife. Why would anyone want to leave them?
I understand this was a bit of a filler chapter but I didn't want to put the date in just yet so I went with this. I hope you all liked it and I hope to have the next chapter up soon!
