"Hello?"

"Hello Athena it's me, Michael can we talk please… I am desperate"

"Fine Mr. Desperate. One minute that's all."

"I know I messed up and again I am deeply sorry. I understand that now. I am just calling to tell you that I'm moving on and you do not have to worry about me calling anymore. I even have a new girlfriend named Ann. So I am finally out of your life."

"Well you have a great life with Ann and just don't repeat the same mistakes twice. Good Bye Michael and have a good life."

Linda was sitting on the edge of the bed putting the finishing touches on her makeup.

"So that was Michael again, will he ever learn?" Linda said

I filled Linda in on the conversation. After that update to Linda, I proceeded to get ready. I wore a pair of fitted stretch jeans that showed off all my curves but were very comfortable, a pale pink t-shirt that said John's signature line "You can't see me" I tied the shirt on the side so it showed my hips, and a pair of flat boots with my leather jacket. This time I decided to use a cherry blossom oil I purchased before the trip as my perfume. I put on a plum tinted lip gloss, a little mascara to make my brown eyes pop and made my way to the lobby. John was already waiting for me. I never thought a man could look so handsome in jeans, a vintage Bret Hart t-shirt and baseball cap.

"Hey handsome, ready to go shoot some pool?"

"You look so sexy in my t-shirt, and you smell even better. And you want to play pool. Can you do no wrong?" John said wrapping his arm around me.

"We will see. I have not played pool in a long time so I hope you can help me. Then afterward we can meet up with the other wrestlers and Linda at a bar that's about 15 minutes away from the pool hall."

*Thirty Minutes Later*

"I thought you said you didn't know how to play pool?" John said.

"I never said I didn't know how to play. I said I hadn't played in a while and maybe you could help me"

"Athena you're such a pool shark" He laughed

I ordered mini cheese burgers and French fries and feed some to John.

"Babe you're going to get me so fat."

"John with the abs you have, a couple of burgers and fries wont hurt you."

I was rubbing John's chest and looking into his deep blue eyes.

"My dad said to me when I know, I know. Athena, Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, whatever you want" I said confused.

"How do you feel about us?"

Before Athena could speak a fan walked up to us.

"It's Cena… You can't see me" The fan says waving his hand in front of his face.

"Hey what's your name … do you want me to sign something?"

"My name is Timmy but my friends call me Big Tim"

I almost fell off the chair I was sitting in with laughter. I couldn't believe what the guy just said. Linda was taller then him and she was only 5'5" and that was on a good day. John signed the fans t-shirt and I took a picture of them.

"So back to the question…" John said sitting in the chair next to me.

John took my hand and pulled me into his lap. He pulled me closer and trailed his nose down the side of my cheek. My heart was racing from the warmth of his body, the way he smelled and the way he looked at me it was almost too much to handle. I leaned in slowly and rubbed my nose against his while holding onto his strong arms.

"You want to know what I think about you Cena. I could ask for your autograph or I could do this…"

I put my hand under John's shirt and began to rub his chest. I leaned in and whispered in his ear. "I think I'm falling in love with you". I began to nibble on John's ear and could feel his heart beating faster and faster. John pulled me closer to him and whispered into my ear which made my heart race as fast as his.

"Do you think or do you know?"

I pulled back from him slightly so I could look his directly in his eyes.

"I know."

"Marry me." John said without hesitation

"What did you just say?" I said shocked sitting up straight

"I said marry me." he said with all seriousness

"Was there liquor in your soda John?" I said picking up and sniffing his glass for alcohol then putting it down.

"I haven't had a drink yet and I haven't been more sure about anything in my life since I decided to become a pro wrestler."

"There must have been something in my drink cause I'm saying yes."

"As badly as I want to take you back to my room and show you how much I mean what I said I will wait until you are ready.'

I kissed John and couldn't believe I was now engaged. When we walked out of the pool hall John pulled me close and lifted me off my feet and spun me around. It was getting harder and harder for me to tell John that I couldn't go back to his room. I stared into his eyes and gave him the longest deepest kiss I had ever given him before. When I pulled back I felt my heart racing and was out of breathe.

"Wow" John said "Have I told you that I love the way you look at me with those big brown eyes." John held my face with his hands and kissed me on both my eye lids gently. It always amazed me how forceful and larger then life John was in the ring but he is so gentle outside of it.

"I think we need to head to the bar now. I am starting to lose the fight with my self control." I said

John pulled me closer to him and started to kiss me behind the ear and he inhaled the scent of the oil I was wearing.

"We really need to go." I said, losing the battle with my self control by the second.

John let go and we headed for the bar. I couldn't wait to tell Linda what just happened. When we walked in the bar it was full of wrestlers.

"Where are the regular people?"

"Whenever we are in town the bar closes its doors to the public and all the wrestlers can have a good time and not worry about being interrupted." John said.

I spotted Linda in the corner talking with the wrestler Snitsky. They were laughing and joking around.

"John I'll be right back I'm going to say hi to Linda."

John took a seat as I was making my way toward Linda I was still amazed by all the wrestlers.

Wow, there goes Edge, Christian, Lita, Trish, DX, The Big Show, The Undertaker and his wife, The Rock, Kurt Angle, Randy Orten, Batista, Booker T and his wife and many more.

"Hey Linda."

"Hey Athena, did you just get here?"

"Yeah John and I just got here. There's something I have to tell you before I explode. Do you have a second?"

"You know I always have time for you. Snitsky I will be back, can you order me a burger and fries?"

"Sure Lin, what do you want on it?"

"You decide, anything is fine with me."

"No problem." Snitsky said

"So what's up with you and Snitsky?"

"Nothing, he's married with a baby on the way. He wanted to do something nice for his wife and was asking me for some ideas. He was also keeping me company until Matt gets back from the hotel."

"Oh… I thought you and Snitsky were…"

"No he is a really sweet guy. The exact opposite of his wrestling character. And surprisingly he is really funny. I couldn't believe it. So what did you want to tell me Athena?"

"John proposed to me"

"WHAT!" Linda screamed in shock

Everyone in the bar turned to look in our direction. John stood up.

"Well I guess someone already knows… Athena can you come here please." John said holding out his hand for me to take it.

As I made my way towards John, Lita stood up to see what was going on.

"Trish what do you think Cena has to say?" Lita said

"I have no clue but it must be big if he is announcing it to everyone and he called his girlfriend over. "

"Everyone I have something to announce. Tonight I asked Athena Reed my girlfriend to be my wife." John said

There were cheers and congrats being screamed from all over the bar. Linda couldn't help but notice Lita wasn't cheering with everyone else. In fact Lita looked angry by what she just heard. The bar owner came out from the back.

"Congrats to the happy couple and a free round of drinks for everyone. Just one round though I am not made of money." The bar owner said. Everyone in the bar cheered again.

"John I'm so happy. First I am asked to write another article for WWE magazine then I am engaged. The past two days have been amazing."

"It's all because of you babe. And before I got into the hotel I got a call from the WWE officials and I am getting a Intercontinental title shot against Edge."

"What… why didn't you tell me before. That's big stuff."

"I was going to tell you but just didn't have time with getting engaged and all."

I could not believe how fast my life was changing. I was engaged and happier than ever.

"Okay John I am going to head back to the hotel and let you finish having fun with the guys, I am exhausted from the flight in. I will see you tomorrow. I will be at the arena interviewing some of the divas."

John walked me out side of the bar and waited with me for a cab to take me back to the hotel. We kissed each other goodnight and I got into the cab. It was safer to say goodnight to John at the bar. If I would have said goodnight at the hotel it would probably not have been goodnight but good morning.
