Dear John
Chapter 2
After Callie left catering, she walked back to the women's locker room to see if there was anyone in there she could kill time with.
"Hey Mel," She greeted her friend happily as she walked in.
Melina turned around and smile. "Hey you, what's up?" She asked as she adjusted her wrestling gear. "Ready to get your ass kicked tonight?"
Cal laughed. Tonight she had a match against Melina for the diva's championship. "I should be the one asking you that."
Melina looked over and noticed her friend looked like she had a lot on her mind. "Hey, you ok?"
Cal looked up and smiled. "Fine,"
"You sure?" She asked, concerned.
She nodded. "Yeah, just wondering when it's going to be my turn to get that title." She lied. John had been the only thing on her mind since he showed up at her house this weekend. But she couldn't tell Melina that. Melina and John had dated for a while and she wasn't sure Mel would react well when she heard what her ex and her friend had been up to.
Melina smiled sympathetically and rubbed Callie's back reassuringly. "Just because tonight's not the night, doesn't mean it will never happen. You'll get your chance soon. How can you not, you're the best diva on Raw…well aside from me." She joked, trying to cheer her friend up.
Callie rolled her eyes and laughed. "Shut up," She said playfully.
"Come on, stand up!" Callie yelled hatefully at Melina in the ring. Callie found it strange how easy it was to be a heel, especially when it was against her close friend. She rested her hands on her knees and stomped her feet as she waited for Melina to stand up. Once Mel was standing and slowly turned around so she was facing Cal, she lunged forward, turning her body last minute, her arms wrapping around the woman's neck as she got ready to execute a bulldog. But, as planned, Melina pushed her away from her body. Callie's stomach hit the ropes as she was shot back to Melina, who was waiting for her. Melina wrapped her arm around Callie's neck and yanked her head back before Melina shot her left leg up to cross Cal's neck and brought her down the mat, executing her finisher, the reverse leg-drop DDT. Callie grunted at the impact of hitting the mat and it wasn't long before she heard the bell ring and the announcer announce Melina as the winner. She slowly rolled herself out the ring and held her hand up to her neck as if she were in pain. She walked backwards up the ramp, pointing to Melina and yelling out insults. Melina simply smirked as she held up her title and the crowd cheered.
Once Callie was backstage, she waited for Melina to make her way back as well. Mel chuckled and ran a hand through her hair once she was in the back. "Good match," She said.
"You too, it's always nice to face someone who knows what they're doing." Callie commented as she threw her arm around her friends neck.
Melina laughed. "I agree completely," She said as they made their way down the hall. Callie almost stopped in her tracks when she saw John making their way towards them. "Hey John!" Melina called out to him. Though they had been broken up for some time, they were still very good friends.
"Hey Mel," He greeted as they got closer. His eyes moved from his ex girlfriend to Callie and he simply nodded at her. This didn't seem unusual to Melina, because Callie and John didn't talk that much. Callie forced herself to nod back. "Great match," he said, his eyes going back to Melina.
She smiled. "Thanks, she put up quite the fight though," She said, bumping her hip to Callie's.
Callie smiled and shrugged. "Well, if I can't win the title, I might as well make you work for it." She looked at John in surprise when she heard him laugh. She loved his laugh but she didn't usually hear it directed at her.
Melina rolled her eyes playfully before turning back to John. "So what's up? How was your weekend?" She didn't notice John's eyes dart to Callie, who immediately looked down at her feet.
He shrugged, turning back to his ex. "Good, relaxing," Cal looked up, not wanting to stick around to hear these two catch up. She looked down the hall and her eyes lit up when she saw Ted.
"Hey, I'll see you two later, I'm going to go talk to Ted." She said, shooting a smile at Melina before heading down the hall to Ted.
Ted looked up when he heard footsteps approaching. "Hey," He said with a smile.
She smiled back. "Hello," She looked at what he was wearing, which wasn't his wrestling gear. "Shouldn't you be changed by now?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, mom," He said mom sarcastically. "I'm not wrestling tonight." She nodded in understanding. "Hey, I was going to come find you later. A bunch of us are gonna go to the bar tonight, you wanna come?"
She made a face. "Whose going to be there?"
Ted knew what that meant, 'John's not going to be there right?' "Don't worry, as far as I know, he's not coming."
Her lips smiled. "Well, in that case, I'm in."
"Great, I'll come find you after the show and we can head over." Ted said. Callie nodded before excusing herself to go back to the locker room to change.
"Another round!" Callie yelled, holding up her empty shot glass. She was well passed buzzed and on the road to drunk at this point. Some of the guys groaned and said no but she frowned. "Come on pussy's!" She said as she motioned to the bartender to pour them another round of shots.
"Maybe you should stick to water for the rest of the night." Ted suggested as he took the glass out of her hand.
She pouted. "Teddy, I'm fine." He rolled his eyes and passed out the shot glasses as the bartender poured the drinks. They all raised their glasses in the air before bringing it to their lips and swallowing the liquid.
"That's the last one Cal, we do have work tomorrow you know," Adam Copeland said sternly and a couple of the other guys murmured their agreement. She pouted again but didn't press the issue.
She shrugged and turned back to the bartender. "Guess it's just for me then." She said as she ordered herself another shot. After that shot she took a break from the alcohol. She surveyed the bar. It was pretty crowded. Her, Ted and a couple other superstars were sitting at the bar with more superstars and a couple divas standing around them as they made conversation. "Oh! I love this song!" She said and turned to Ted. "Teddy, dance with me!" She stood up and grabbed one of his hands.
He shook his head and chuckled. "No way, Cal. Ask someone else."
She frowned and looked at the men standing around them. "Cody! Dance with me!" She said as she latched onto his hand.
Cody Rhodes laughed and nodded. "Alright, alright." He said as he followed her out on the dance floor. Because it was a bar, people were more interested in drinking than dancing, so the dance floor wasn't packed, though there were quite a few people out there.
"This good?" She asked him, referring to the spot on the floor she stopped, as she turned around to face him. Cody nodded as he put his hands on her hips as they began to move. She wrapped her arms around his neck, moving her hips. After a few minutes, the song changed into a slower tune so Cody pulled her closer and she rested her chin on his shoulder. She looked pass Cody's shoulder to see what the crowd was like on the other side of the dance floor. She bit her lip when she saw John. He was dancing with one of the Bella twins but he was watching Callie. His eyes bore into hers. She saw lust burning in his eyes.
This was always when she knew he would be showing up at her hotel room that night. Their eyes would connect and neither one could pull away.
"Hey," Cody's soft voice in her ear interrupted her thoughts. "You've got an admirer." She forced her eyes away from John and looked at Cody's face, afraid he somehow knew of her lustful stare down with John. Cody pointed behind her and she turned and saw Mike, standing with the other guys, staring at her. When he saw her looking at him, he grinned and waved. She smiled back before turning back to Cody. She glanced behind him and saw John, still looking at her. The music had changed and it was now a fast paced hip hop song. The twin standing in front of him wasted no time in rubbing her ass against his crotch but he looked like he didn't even notice, his gaze still on her. She looked back at Cody.
"Will you take me back to the hotel?" She asked. To any other guy, except maybe Ted, that would sound like an invitation to spend the night, but Cody was a close friend and he knew she was just ready to leave.
"Yeah, I'm about ready to go anyway. Let's go grab you're jacket and we can leave." He said, sliding his hand to the small of her back before leading her to where Ted was and grabbed her leather jacket.
"You leaving?" Ted asked when she approached.
"Yeah, I'm tired." She answered, sliding her jacket through her arms.
"Want me to come with you?" He asked.
She shook her head and rested her hand on his forearm. "No, you stay, Cody's taking me. I'll see you tomorrow," She said before placing a kiss on his cheek and turning around. "Oh, hey Mike," She said when she saw him standing right in front of her.
"I just got here and you're leaving?" He asked with an amused smile at his lips.
She smiled. "Yeah, I'm ready to hit the sack."
He nodded in understanding. "I'll see you tomorrow?"
She nodded. "Definitely," She walked around him to Cody before they walked out of the bar.
Callie yawned as she closed her hotel door behind her. She and Cody had split up at the elevator, each of them on different floors. He offered to walk her to her room, but she refused, claiming she could find it just fine on her own. She threw her jacket on the bed before sitting down to pull off her high heeled boots. She mentally reminded herself to call Ted in the morning to bring her her gym bag, which she put in his car after they left the arena.
She just got both her boots off when she heard the knock on her door. She walked to the door, having a good feeling she knew exactly who was on the other side. She opened the door and grinned when she saw John. He smirked back, running his eyes over her body. She was pretty covered up in skinny jeans and a stylish tank top though her outfit still showed off her figure but the way he was looking at her, made her feel naked. John put his hands on her hips and walked her backwards so he could walk into the room. He closed the door behind him and leaned his head down, pressing his lips to hers. After the kiss became more passionate, he pulled away and pressed a single kiss to her neck before his hands that had been resting on her hips, trailed up, catching the hem of her shirt, pulling it up and over her head. Their eyes connected and John's lust overcame his desire to be a good friend to Mike. He slid his hands down to rest on the back of her thighs. He used his strength to pull her up, her legs wrapping around his waist as he walked them over to the bed.
Callie knew this time wouldn't be any different from their past times together. She always secretly hoped he would lie in bed with her after, holding her in his arms as he whispered sweet nothings in her ear before they both dozed off to sleep together. But it never played out like that. And as much as she wanted that fairytale ending, she was willing to settle for just being with him as often as possible, even if it meant him regretting it after.
