A week had passed. Juliette was still looking for something on John and still finding nothing. Tonight was the Payback pay-per-view. John was in his locker room getting ready. There was a knock at the door.
"It's open." He said. Juliette walked in. "Hey." He said smiling.
"Hi." She sat down next to him on the couch. "Getting ready for your big match?"
"Yep."
"What exactly is an I Quit match?"
"You just beat the hell out of your opponent until he says I quit."
"He actually has to say I quit?"
"Yeah."
"Sounds exhausting trying to get him to say it."
"It is but at the end of the night it'll be him saying it not me." "Are you gonna watch it?"
"Yes." "I have to go start the pre-interviews."
"Alright I'll see you later."
Ok."
As Juliette was watching John's match she thought it was one was one of the most brutal things she'd ever seen.
After the show she went to his room. She knocked on the door. He answered it.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi." "I just wanted to make sure you were alright."
"I'm alright." "I was just resting in bed."
"Oh sorry I'll go."
"No come in."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah." She went in.
"How your back?"
"It's sore but so is everything." They went into the bedroom where John had a pillow propped up for his back. He sat on the bed. She sat next to him.
"That was a hell of a match tonight."
"Thanks I told you I wouldn't quit." "Ow!"
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah I just twisted the wrong way."
"Here lean up." He did. "Where does it hurt the most?"
"My lower back."
"Right in there?" She asked lightly beginning to rub.
"Yeah." "Here." He took his shirt off. "Does that make it easier?"
"Yeah." "I feel it you're really tight right there."
"That feels really good."
"Good."
"Can you do it a little harder?"
"Like that?" She said doing it a little harder.
"Yeah." "Oh." He moaned lowly.
"You know it sounds like we're doing something else." She said laughing a little.
"Trust me if we were doing that I wouldn't be the one doing most of the moaning."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
"What makes you so sure?"
"I know how to please a woman." He said looking back at her and smiling.
"Well not to brag but I would say I know how to please a man pretty well."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Her cell phone started to ring. "I gotta take this." She got up and went into the bathroom. She shut the door. "Hello?" She whispered. "Now's not a good time Frank I'm with him right now." "Ok bye." She hung up.
She went back into the bedroom.
"Wanna watch a movie?" John asked.
"Sure."
Halfway through the movie John fell asleep. Juliette was still wake.
"John." She said. "I'm sorry." She whispered.
Juliette got up and started looking through all of John's stuff. From the medicine cabinet in the bathroom to his bags. She couldn't find anything. She left.
A week later they had a few days off. Juliette was at home. Sarah was visiting her. Without realizing it all Juliette was doing was talking about John.
"You know Juliette if I didn't know any better I would say you missed John." Sarah said.
"I do not." "I'm just still in work brain."
"Where did you get that?" Sarah said noticing the blue monkey.
"John won it for me at the carnival."
"I don't believe it." Sarah said smiling
"What?"
"You like him."
"Don't be ridiculous." "He is so not my type."
"Juliette do you hear that?"
"What?"
"The sound of denial."
"Come on Sarah." "Do you really think I'd go for a wrestler?" "Please."
"Say whatever you want." "I know you like him."
"John is a job." "That's it." "He doesn't mean anything to me."
"Speaking of jobs." "I bet you've thought about giving John a very special one." She said smiling.
"Ha ha." "You're not funny." "Like sex with him would be satisfying at all." "Like he could even make me have an- She stopped
"A-ha!" "So you have thought about having sex with him?"
"He's just an assignment."
"Right."
Later that night Juliette was just getting ready to lay down. Her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi." John said. "What are you doing?"
"I'm about to go to sleep."
"Me to." "I just wanted to hear your voice before I did."
"Aw that's so sweet."
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight." Juliette hung up and smiled.
