No one's POV
Maria woke up when she felt someone touching her face. She opened her eyes and saw John gazing at her lovingly. She smiled.
" What are you doing?" she asked. John pinched her nose playfully.
"Just relishing every moment that I have with you." He said as he returned her smile. She smiled and sat up. She looked back at John and found him fully clothed.
"Why are you so dressed? Are you going somewhere?" she asked confused.
"Nope. I'm staying with you. Randy called. He asked if we want to head to the beach today and spend a night or two. I told him that that was a great idea. So, you coming?" he asked.
"Of course! When are we leaving?" she asked getting out of bed. "I gotta pack." She panicked.
"Baby relax. Don't fret. I've done that for you. I realized that that will be your reaction and I get to choose your bikini." He said winking at her while leaning on the headboard of the bed.
"Okay, well I better be getting ready." She walked inside the bathroom and, did the calls of nature, and took a quick shower.
She stepped out in a towel and found John on his laptop. She strode across the room to her closet. And pulled out a pair of denim jeans and a sleeveless tank top.
She gulped when she turned around and John suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist. She grinned as he inched his face forward. She kissed him quickly and tried to get out of his grasp but he doesn't let go. She pulled him by the nape and kissed him again longer and pressed her lips harder. She pulled away.
"Would that do it?" she asked smirking.
"You owe me." He whispered and kissed her with a smack on the lips. She made her way to the bathroom and put her clothes on. She walked out and saw John collecting their stuff.
"I'm gonna put this in the trunk." He asked and walked. He stopped in front of Maria. He kissed her with his hands full and made his way out of the room. Maria grabbed her phone and made her way out of the room and head downstairs.
She stepped out onto the front porch, walked to the car and got in the passenger's seat beside John who was already behind the wheel.
Maria kept herself busy tweeting and doing stuff with her phone. John looked at her and smiled. She looks so cute. Just like a teenage girl. He stared back ahead.
"I can't believe that we only have two more days and our vacay is already over." Maria said out of the blue. John glanced at her and back on the road. She leaned her head on the window.
"Time flies when you're having fun." He said smiling and took her left hand with his right one. "Especially when you're spending it with the love of your life." With one hand on the wheel, he lifted her hand and kissed it.
They arrived at the beach and went straight to the cottage where Mickie was standing at the doorstep and Randy carrying some stuff from the car to the cottage. They parked behind Randy's car. Maria jumped out immediately.
"Mickiiiiiiiieeee!" she shrieked.
"Riaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Mickie shrieked back. They both enveloped their arms around each other.
"I miss you so much!" Mickie said when they had released each other. John went over to help Randy.
"Let me help you with that." He said helping Randy with some supplies. They both stared at the women standing on the porch.
"It's gonna be a long weekend…" John sighed laughing.
"You bet…" Randy replied smiling as well.
"Mickie, it had just been about a week." Maria said
"I know!" Mickie said beckoning her in. They both collapsed on the couch giggling. John and Randy carried in some boxes and bags.
"We should have brought something." Maria said eyeing the boxes of food and drinks that Randy and John were bringing.
"Oh…no worries!" Mickie said waving it away. "We just surprised you anyway. We took care of that one. Right Rands?" Mickie said looking over her shoulder.
"You got that right." He said making a thumbs up. John laughed and smacked the back of his head.
"Let's go! We still have a box or two to carry inside." John said and raced out of the door.
"Cena! You owe me!" he said with a hand on his nape and followed John out the door.
"So wanna change into something appropriate and head to the shore?" Mickie asked turning her attention back to Maria.
"Okay." Maria replied. They took their bags that John and Randy had placed at the foot of the stairs. They head upstairs.
"You and John will share the same room and I'll share with Randy. Here's your room and your key." She said handing Maria a key as they stop in front of a door.
Maria wasted no time and got inside the room. She pulled her black bikini, denim shorts and a button down shirt. She put black bikini on, then her denim shorts, and her button-down shirt. She tied a knot right under her breast. Showing her flat toned abs. She stepped into her flip flops and put a pair of shades on her hair. He let her long red hair fall down past her shoulders.
She stepped out of the room. John was outside their room about to enter but Maris opened the door and stepped out, he stared at her in awe. He whistled.
"You look amazing." He said snaking his arms around her waist. She laughed. He kissed her neck then her cheek. His arm moved a bit and had hit a spot where Maria felt ticklish. She wiggled in his arms giggling.
"John, y-you're tickling me." Maria laughed. Trying to get out of his hold.
"Oh, where? Is it here?"John asked and poked his finger on Maria's side on purpose. Right where she feels ticklish. Maria shrieked and laughed uncontrollably. Mickie walked out their room and saw the two of them laughing.
"Ehem." She cleared her throat. They both looked up. "Ready to go Maria?" she asked.
"Of course!" she said finding a way out of John's grasp. "I'll be with you downstairs in a minute." She said while she slap John's hand that was trying to reach her.
Mickie smiled and shook her head. She took the stairs and went downstairs. Maria raced inside the room. She grabbed her hand bag, cellphone, sun block lotion, towel, and some cash. When she stepped out the room John was beside the door leaning on the wall and hands crossed over his chest smirking evilly.
"I'll head to the shore with Mickie. You and Randy can go with us, if you guys want to." She said.
"It's okay. I understand that you and Mickie has a lot of catching up to do. You girls have fun and we guys will have our own fun." He said smirking.
"Okay, bye." She said walking past him. She was surprised when John pulled her by the elbow and caught her face in his hands and kissed her passionately. When they finally pulled away, they looked into each other's eyes.
"You still owe me." John whispered letting Maria go.
Maria's POV
I was sprawled under the heat of the sun. Mickie got us some drinks. It was such a beautiful day. I have to fly back to Smackdown the day after tomorrow. I just wanna relax today. I wanna relieve the stress that my work is giving me. I wanna make the most out of this time that I have with John and my close friends.
"Excuse me?" a small timid voice asked. I lifted my head and saw a little boy standing beside my blanket. "Y-your Maria right?" he looks so cute…awwww…. Those little blue eyes remind me of John's. I sat up and pushed my glasses up to my hair.
" Hey…" I said smiling at him. "What can I do for you?" I asked smiling politely at him.
"Can you sign this for me?" he asked handing me the latest issue of a WWE magazine and a pen.
"Of course. So you like WWE?" I asked as I uncapped the pen.
"Yes! I have 2 idols. You're one of them! And the other is John Cena. I just wanna be like you guys!" he exclaimed. Those blue eyes with innocence. I smiled and scribbled her signature.
" Here you go…" I said handing him the magazine and patting his head. I have no idea that we do inspire a lot of people. Okay, I take that back. I do have an idea.
"And one more thing." He handed me a single rose and hurried away. I was about to thank him but when I looked up he was nowhere in sight. There was a roll of paper attached to its stem. I took it and read the content.
"Remember that my love never dies. "
PS:
Lunch is ready.
-John-
I giggled. What an old-school way to send a message but I admit, I find it sweet.
"What are you grinning about?" Mickie handing me a bottle of water. I gave her the paper.
"I guess this means we have to head back and come back later." Mickie said gathering her stuff and I gather mine. Mickie was like 5 steps ahead of me when I felt my phone vibrate. I slipped it moments in my pocket. I drew it out of my pocket.
"Maria, you coming?" Mickie asked stopping and looking over her shoulder.
"Yeah, I'll be with you in a sec." I replied. Mickie resumed walking. I looks at my phone. It was a text from an unregistered number. I read it.
I can't wait to talk to you. Please let me explain my actions. I'm really sorry.
That was all it said. I stared at it blankly. I figured out that maybe the person entered the wrong number or something so Ii slipped it back in my pocket. I continued to the cottage. I could smell barbecue from the little backyard. I walked up the front steps. I stopped in front of the door when I felt my phone vibrate again. I headed to the right side of the porch and put my stuff on a chair.
Please. I'm really sorry. I care about you so much.
I decided to text the person back.
May I know who this is?
I went inside the house and went straight to the kitchen and placed my phone on the counter. I went over to the sink to wash my hands. I looked outside the window which was over the sink and found John, Mickie, and Randy laughing. I could get use to this. I smirked as I wipe my hands on a towel. I heard my phone vibrating over the granite counter. I grabbed it and was about to open the door. I read the text with my other hand on the doorknob. I was about to open the door but froze as I finish reading the text.
Maria, it's Wade.
