John was currently on a plane on its way to France. He thank all the gods in existence that he got a window seat and no one had the seat next to him. It gave him time to think and be by himself. It had been a month since he had last talked to Randy. While he still considered Randy the love of his life. He had finally gotten to the point where he could hear Randy's name or think about him and he would not automatically start to cry.
John knew he was finally healing from the heart break. He knew that a part of him would always love Randy. But it was nice to know that he could live, without needing to have Randy near him to feel alive. For the past month, in which he and Randy had been officially separated, he could not help but wonder how Randy was doing. But John was trying to work on those feelings. He knew he would not be able to move on if he was still thinking about Randy.
John was deep in his thoughts about what he was going to do from now on. To be honest putting aside his personal problems. His professional life was crazy. His career was going down the drain fast. He had been beaten by The Rock and if Laurinitis actions lately towards him were anything to go by. He already had a foot out the door in the WWE. Not to mention that there were rumors going around the company that Brock had been signed back into the WWE. If The Rock hated him, Brock was 100 times worse.
He and Brock has history that dated all the way back to their OVW days. Brock never liked him and he had no idea why. The rumor in the locker room had been that it was all because Brock had a crush on him. Others had said it was because Brock knew that John was going to soon be taking over OVW and if John's track record was anything to go by. John was going to take over the wrestling word as well. But all the crap that Brock pulled on him when all past the average school yard games. Brock had been a straight up bully to him. John could honestly say that Brock was the only guy he had ever disliked in any locker room he had ever been in.
So it went without saying that he awaited Brock's return with trepidation. Not to mention that he felt as if his entire body was a giant bruise and he had no days off for another month. John was shaken out of his thoughts when a body landed on the seat next to his. He looked over to see CM Punk smirking at him while licking an ice cream cone. Where in the blue hell did Phil managed to find an ice cream cone at 30,000 feet he might never know.
ΩΩΩ
"So, what are you going to do?" Phil said as he nudged him with his foot.
"What do you mean?"
"Well I know for a fact that you're hurting. I saw you limping to your private dressing room last night. I also heard some nasty rumors going among the lower cards and from the higher ups."
"You want to know what's true."
"No, am pretty sure the thing about Brock coming back is true. I mean Heyman hasn't said anything to me about his return. But with the way he's acting. Am pretty sure it's true."
"Okay, then what rumor are you referring to?"
"One, that I hope is not true and that it will never be!"
"Again Phil, which one?"
"That Laurinitis wants to change the face of the company. I mean I wanted to change the way the world looked at the WWE and all. But I sure as hell don't want to see the face of the company to change at all."
"You're preaching to the choir Phil. I always dreamed to pass the torch to the next guy in the next generation. The way Steve did with me. I also knew that if I ever did get to pass the torch I would pass it on to someone like you. Or realistically that I would pass it on to you."
"John boy, you making me tear up!"
"Shut up, Phil! But it's the truth. To know that Laurinitis has it in for me. That he basically wants to erase me from the WWE's history, after everything I've done for this business. It pisses me off like you have no idea!"
"Am there with you Johnny. So what are you going to do about it?"
"My plan is to wait for the other shoe to drop. I can't really do anything based on rumors even if they are pretty much truth, Phil. I can't go to Hunter or Steph without proof. Am just going to have to wait."
"John that's the problem with you! You're too good! While you're sitting here waiting for the other shoe to drop. God knows what the hell Laurinitis might be planning against you. Take the initiative and confront him like I did. He spilled his guts about trying to screw me on live air!"
"You might be right, Phil. But that's drama that I don't have to deal with for now nor do I want to. I have another month left before we go back to the states. I want to enjoy this month without management drama. I'll deal with it when we get back to the states."
"Fine, John you win this round. But you better be sure as hell, that am gearing up to stick my boot up Laurinitis' ass, if he messes with you!"
"Fine, Phil, you have my permission do that if you want. Now enough about me. How is Alex? Is Jeff feeling any better?"
"Alex is doing great! She started to roll onto her belly last week. Jeff sent me a video of her rolling onto her belly! I have to admit that it made me cry. I hate overseas tours, men! At least when am in the states, Jeff and Alex can travel with me. I feel like am missing out on so much!"
"Oh come on men, don't make me cry! You know I can't take it when you go all daddy on me! How's Jeff? Did he go to the hospital?"
"No, he hasn't, I think he's scared that am right. That what he calls food poisoning, is just that he's pregnant again."
"I see why he would be scared and why you would be screwed! Alex is just six months old."
"I know how old Alex is, thank you very much. I was there when she was born, and it was both a beautiful and disgusting, life changing experience. To be honest, I wouldn't mind having another baby now, I just hope that it is food poisoning. Alex is too young and I don't want Jeff to have to deal with the stress of taking care of a one year old baby and a newborn. Not without me there to help him with the kids."
"I completely understand. So could you tell me where you got the ice cream from?"
"Oh, I asked Kane to go all psycho terminator on the stewardess and get me an ice cream cone! Don't tell Kane this, but I actually like when he goes all psychotic, big red monster. It works wonder when you want things out of people!"
ΩΩΩ
John could do nothing but laugh his ass off as Phil explained himself. He had to agree with Phil on that one. While he had been Kane's target on a few occasions. Every single time he had been Kane's target, it had been all scripted. Backstage and in real life Kane, well, Glen, was actually one of the nicest guy on the roster.
He knew this himself, because every other day Glen would bring treats to his favorite Superstars and Divas on the Raw roster. One more than one occasion Glen had treated him to his favorite ice cream, Phil to his favorite soda, and Jeff to his favorite bag of candy. John and Phil looked up when they heard a throat being cleared above them. When both men looked up, they found none other than Glen, standing above them with a wrapped ice cream cone in his hand. John smiled up at Glen, while Phil just smirked at Glen.
"Well, John boy, I need to go," Phil just smiled at the confusion on John's face, "I need to torment Daniel before we land in France."
John was left looking after Phil in confusion. John did not know what just happened. But he completely ignored it. Phil was a confusing men that only Jeff understood. He stopped trying to figure out the men years ago. So he turned around and gave Glen his attention.
"Hey Glen," John said as he watched Glen make himself comfortable on the now empty seat next to him.
"Hi Johnny, I got this one for you," Glen said as he extended what seemed to be a cherry vanilla ice cream cone to him, "I had to wrestle it away from Booker. So you better appreciate it and be extra nice to me this week."
John just laughed and nodded his head at Glen. As he ripped apart the wrap around the ice cream cone and started to devour the cold treat. He started to blush as he realized that Glen was watching him. He then slowed down and his face turn redder as he remembered his manners. Boy was he embarrassed and even more so, that he was pigging out in front of Glen.
"Sorry," John apologized.
"For what? For enjoying yourself?" Glenn asked.
"But-"
"Johnny, I got you the ice cream for you to enjoy it. Not for you to contemplate how it would taste."
"Okay, then, so what brings you by?"
"Actually, I wanted to ask you a question," John watched as Glen paused then continued, "I understand if you say no. I know it might still be too early for you."
"Glen just get to the point."
"Johnny, I wanted to ask you out on date this Saturday. I know it's only been a month since your break up with Randy. It may be too early, if you say no I will understand-"
"Yes," John interrupted Glen midsentence,
'What?"
"Yes, I'll go out on a date with you."
"Are you sure? I don't want you to feel pressured or anything."
"Glen, if wanted to say no. I would have just said so. I want to go out with you. Am looking forward to our date."
"Okay then Johnny," Glen said, "I get back to you later with the details. Enjoy the rest of the flight."
"You too Glen," John said as he watched Glen walk away to the business class area of the plan.
ΩΩΩ
John went back to his ice cream cone and to look out the window. He knew in his heart that he had already moved on from Randy betrayal. He might not be completely healed. But he was ready to find happiness again. He was past the stage where he wanted a rebound guy but he wasn't at the point where he wanted a relationship. He thank all the Gods smiling down at him. Because for the first time since his heart was broken he was able to look at a men and say, "Maybe".
