Much to Evie's dismay, they were up early the next morning. Maybe a little too early for her own liking. Her and John had spent most of the night fooling around and by the time they had gotten to sleep, the sun was starting to rise.

"John, can we please stay in and sleep a little longer?" She said in a tired voice. "We were up a little longer than either one of us had originally planned."

He tried to fight back a yawn, but failed miserably. With one look at her, he decided that they would stay in and sleep. They really needed it, neither one of them could barely keep their eyes open. Besides, it's not like they were on a tight schedule, he could show her around when they were more alert.

"Let's get back to bed." John grabbed her hand and led her up the stairs and down the hall to his old room. "By the time we wake up, we'll still be alone. My brothers probably left last night and my dad is most likely at work."

"Okay, that's fine baby." Evie said, undressing herself down to her bra and panties. "As we long as we get some more sleep, then I'm fine."

He chuckled and watched as she got into bed and practically pulled the covers over head. Quickly, he stripped down to his boxers and turned on the air conditioner. When he was done, he finally got into bed, pulled the covers over himself very much like her, and then pulled Evie close to him, enjoying the feel of her skin against his.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." She mumbled sleepily.

Much later on in the day, the couple was ready for their outing. As predicted the house was empty and would remain empty even when they had gotten back. They had the whole day to themselves, that is until the game of football they boys usually played when John was in town.

"You're not playing, baby." John said, lacing his hand with hers. He figured that it would be best for them to walk since it was a nice day outside and because most everything he wanted to show her was close by. "It's gets pretty rough when we play. We tend to get competitive with each other. It's just not something I want you participating in."

"Do you forget what I do for a living?" Evie questioned, slightly annoyed. "I think I can handle myself in a game of football."

"It's tackle football, not flag."

"Good, flag football is dumb." She said as she took in the sights of the neighborhood. It was a cute and tiny area, almost similar to where she grew up. She liked that it was a small town, she felt like it held more warmth and love then a city did. "Besides, I think it'll be fun if I played. It'd be another good way to bond with your brothers."

"What about my dad?"

"I'm going to help him grill." She smiled.

"You are? I don't remember being in the room for the conversation."

"You were in the room, you and your brothers were just really into the video game you were playing. While you guys were doing that, I was talking to your dad and offered to help him grill, considering you boys are useless." She teased.

He stopped walking, pulled her back, and turned her around so that she was facing him. His arms tightly wrapped themselves around her waist, while she placed her hands on his chest. He pressed his forehead to hers.

"I'm going to let that comment slide." He whispered. "Just keep in mind, I probably won't next time."

"Is that a threat Mr. Cena?" She joked.

"Maybe."

"Mmm, I have something even better in mind, you take your threat back and I won't revoke your sex clause." Evie suggested, a smile on her face the whole time.

"You're bluffing."

"Am I?" She pulled out of his grasp and circled around him. "I don't think I am."

"Evie." John groaned, trying to get her back in his arms. "I can't take this, we need to get back now."

Mission accomplished, she thought to herself. He was trying to deny something from her, so she was going to do the same to him. He was trying to protect her from playing with him and brothers, so she was trying protect him from some of the things she could do.

"Nah, let's finish what we started and then we'll head back to the house. If I want you when we get back, then we'll play our own game of tackle football." She whispered seductively.

"You'll be the death of me." John started walking again.

"I doubt that." Evie caught up to him and laced her hand with his.

"I always use to come to this park whenever something was bothering me." John said as they walked around. "It was just one of those places where I felt like I could think without anyone bothering me. If something ever happened, I would disappear here for hours. Nobody ever knew of my whereabouts and I preferred it that way. This was something I wanted for myself, a place for my head, if you will."

"If you didn't want anyone to know, why are you showing me this?" Evie was touched that he was showing her his secret spot. "It's obviously something that means a lot to you."

"But, you mean even more to me now." John pulled her to him. "Now, you and I have a spot to come to whenever we want to be alone. If there's ever anything we need to talk or think about, I want us to come here. This is one of those things where I want us to have a place to cherish and have memories."

"Who knew John Cena was such a softy?" She teased, poking his chest with her index finger. "I love this John, I'm touched that you brought me here. I'm always going to remember this day."

"Yeah?"

Evie nodded her head and pulled her necklace out from underneath her shirt. "Just like I'm always going to remember the night you gave me this, I'm always going to remember you bringing me here."

"You're really something else."

Evie only smiled as she walked over towards the swings. Without really saying anything, she jumped onto one and lightly pushed herself back and forth.

"So I've been told." Evie smiled, getting higher up the more she swung.

He only watched as she titled her head back and looked up at the sky. A small smile was gracing her face, making her look even more like a baby doll. He liked that about her, she still held a part of the innocence she lost as a teen, but at the same time she was more woman than any of the other women he had been with. She had her moments where she was vulnerable and he felt like he could see the real her, but at the same time she was able to be calm, cool, and collected. With her, he got the best of both worlds. Something he both loved and hated.

"You're such a baby." John smiled.

"Am not." She pouted.

"Are too, baby." He walked over to the swing, put one hand on each chain, thus stopping her from swinging anymore. "I've never seen a grown woman get so excited about the swings or tilt their head back and look up at the clouds."

She blushed at what he said. It was her hope that he wouldn't be paying that close attention to her. Actually, she was hoping that would slip right under his radar. Anyone who knew her, never understood why she did it, which is why she never did it in front of her boyfriends. Just for a moment, when she saw the swings, she forgot about everything, she forgot about John, and just swarmed towards a familiar place where she felt she could let her hair down.

"Don't blush." John said, with a hint of happiness in his voice. "I think it's cute. It adds more to you. And the more little things like this come out, the less of a mystery you become. I love it. Don't be embarrassed about it."

"You don't understand why I do it." Evie whispered, looking in his eyes, her lower lip quivering. "Nobody ever did, not even Ted."

His blood started to boil at the mention of the young superstar. Ever since he had found out about Evie's previous relationship with him, he started to dislike Ted DiBiase.

"Let me be the first to figure it out then." John leaned in closer to her, their lips almost touching. "Let me be the only one."

"You're on your own, baby." Evie challenged.

"I'm going to need your help."

"It's not figuring it out if I tell you." She pushed him away from the swing and then hopped off.

John quickly adjusted his hat and started after his girlfriend of four months. When he caught up to her, he wrapped his arms around her and held her closely to his body. He rested his chin on her shoulder and looked out at the rest of the park.

"I'm going to find you out, Evie." John whispered. "You won't be alone ever again."

She blinked back the tears she felt at the edge of her eyes. She really wanted to believe his words, but she felt like if she did, then she would be setting her up for the fall. After all, Ted had told her the same thing and look at how that ended.

Swallowing back her doubt, she melted into his touch and smiled at his words, knowing that he only meant well.

"Evie!" John shouted. "You're not playing."

She smirked in his direction. Their argument from earlier in the day had returned when it came time for the game to start. While, his brothers were up for her playing, John wasn't too happy about the idea. He knew how they got when they played ball and all he was doing was protecting her.

"Are you afraid I'm going to beat you?" She taunted.

"Fuck this, John." Dan laughed. "She's playing this game with us. Even better, she's on my team. Besides, we'll actually be even considering Marc couldn't make it out today."

"Dan, she's not playing." John said. "She just came off a bad rib injury."

Evie rolled her eyes. "I'm not a fragile doll, John. My ribs are fine now, nothing bad will happen to them. I promise."

"Evie."

"John." She mocked him.

He was trying to fight back a smile, but eventually the humor of the situation caught up to him and a smile came across his handsome features.

"You were going to play anyway." He said, football in hand. "Have we got teams?"

Everyone nodded their heads. After a quick rundown of the rules, everyone separated into teams and went to different sides of the yard. When they were ready, Matt signaled for their mom to come out and referee the game.

An hour and a half later and the game was coming to it's end. John's team was in the lead by one point. Every few seconds, Evie would look over to his side of the yard to see what he was doing. She rolled her eyes when she saw how seriously they were taking the game. Laughing to herself, she turned her attention back to her teammates.

"Okay, they're winning by one point." Dan reasserted. "We just need one more touchdown to win the game. We've been doing good today, but we're going to need to step it up now."

"I've got John." Evie said, catching John looking in her direction.

"Are you sure, Evie?" Sean questioned. "He's been pretty tough for this whole game."

"I'm positive." She reassured them. "Wether or not he gets the ball, I've got him. He made this personal when he tackled me earlier on."

Dan and Sean smiled at each other. They were all dirty and scratched up, and not once did they hear her complain about it. She had been tackled a couple of times and she just went on like nothing happened. Hell, she had even made a few points. At one point, she had even stolen the ball from John.

"The more time I spend with you, the more I like you." Sean smiled. "You were made for this family."

"Do I've got John?" She asked, touched that his family would be so accepting of her so fast.

"Yes, you do." Dan said. "Whatever it is you're going to do, make it good."

Evie only smiled as they broke a part and got into the positions they were playing.

"You're mine." John mouthed to her.

She only shook her head, smirking at her boyfriend. "Bull shit." She mouthed back with a smile.

Before she knew it, the ball was tossed in the air and Dan caught it. Quickly, she ran for John and did what she could to block him. Her attempts were feeble and John had almost caught Dan until she jumped into John's arms, causing them to fall down. Her hands pinned his down to ground and she pressed her lips to his, hoping it would distract him from the game.

When she saw that Sean had caught the ball and made the touchdown, she jumped off John and ran to her teammates. They each smiled, laughed, and joked around. Obviously, excited by their win in an unimportant game.

Way after the game, everyone sat outside and hung out, eating the food Evie grilled with John's dad. They kept talking about the game and how well she was able to handle herself. With every compliment handed to her, she blushed and said it was nothing.

"I can't believe she pinned you down to the ground." Sean said, astounded. "You're like four times her size."

"I'm not even going to say it." John said, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"It's better that you don't." Evie had an underlying tone of threat in her voice.

All the Cena brothers caught the threat and started teasing John. None of them could believe that he found her and hoped that she stuck around. They felt like she was the only that could be with John and accept him for who he was.

"Well, I better get to sleep." Evie got up. "I want to get up early and spend some time with your mom before we leave tomorrow night."

John nodded, got up, and followed her into the house. When they got to the room, he once again locked the door and pulled his girlfriend in for a kiss. He had fallen even more in love with that day and decided that he would never let her go.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For accepting my family so fast."

"Baby, I fell in love with your family over the past day and a half." She smiled. "I can't wait until the next time we come back."

"I can't either." He replied. "While we're still on the subject of this, when am I meeting your family?"

"In a couple of weeks." She smiled.

"Okay, good."

Without saying much else, the couple changed and crawled into bed. The feeling of each other comforting them. Things couldn't be getting any better, they both thought. However, only of them hoped it would stay like that.

A/N: A whole lot of nothing, but just a little more insight into their relationship. The next chapter is going to feature Ted and Evie. Possibly, Evie might even have a little run in with Kristen. Insert evil laugh here. Review!
