It was mid Sunday afternoon and the lobby was nearly empty. One of the few people in there was John Cena, Covington's star quarterback, the golden boy. He was sitting at the juice bar waiting for a drink to cool him off, he had just gotten done with practice and was exhausted. All the runs, squats, pushups, and the numerous other work outs drained the man drastically

Once the high glass of juice was dropped off he quickly grabbed a hold of the cup and chugged it down within all of 10 seconds. The man panted as he knocked on the bar for another, he gazed around the room and observed the numerous people in it.

On one side sat Dean Ambrose and Ron Killings, AKA the top druggies around school. On the other side sat Nikki Bella who was currently flipping pages through her magazine. Nikki was a puzzle John was waiting to figure out, he definitely amused her. One second she was sweet and the next she was sassy, at least it kept it interesting. John was quick to notice that she was completely different then her twin sister, Brie in numerous ways.

He observed her outfit and was honestly quite amused. The woman wore a short white dress that exposed not only her cleavage but her long legs as well, a smirk came across John's lips as he took a sip of his new glass.

Suddenly his view was covered when a certain redhead came out of nowhere. Maria Kanellis stood in front of John with a bit lip and her googley green eyes staring at the floor. Her outfit wasn't that much different than Nicole's. Whenever John saw Maria she was always done up, as of late it was rare to see her without an inch of makeup and nice clothing.

"Hey there Red." The quarterback had a smile pursed across his lips as he greeted his friend, "How are you?"

"I'm good, thanks for asking." A smile came across her lips as well before she continued, "I wanted to thank you… what you did last night was really sweet."

"Don't mention it. I don't deserve any praise, I saw you and need and I tried to help…I would've never forgiven myself if I just let that dick take advantage of you. Really, it's no big deal. Want a drink?"

The redhead smiled at how he changed the subject, all she responded with was a brief smile and nod as she sat down in the stool next to him. Maria grasped onto her cup and took a few sips out of it before starting the conversation back up.

"How was practice?"

"Oh, exhausting. I was there from 8 AM until 4 PM. Not to mention the lack of sleep I had from last night."

"Oh that's horrible." Maria couldn't help but giggle by his facial expressions as he described his evening. She liked being around John Cena, it was good to have a friend who didn't judge or start up any sort of drama. It was a relief to not be scheming for once.

"So, how's things with you and Maryse after last night's incident?" The jock asked, he didn't mean to sound nosy but it just kind of happened.

Just like that the smile that was spread so elegantly across Maria's features began to fade. It shocked her how Maryse treated her last night, it wasn't like they were friends at all it was more like Maria was her doll that she could just throw around.

"We're fine… I mean last night wasn't her fault. She was upset about Mike and needed a distraction, its fine really."

"So that justifies her for leaving you out to dry? I don't really understand how that works…"

"What's your point?"

"I don't have one."

"But you obviously do."

The atmosphere between them began to change. It was no longer light and fun but much more serious and tense. Maria wasn't angry with John or even upset with him it was just that the thought of Maryse right now made her extra tense. The truth was what happened last night did hurt her feelings a lot more than she let on.

"I'm just saying a friend shouldn't do that. You could've gotten hurt… Why'd you even start hanging out with her anyways I didn't really suit you as one of those type of girls."

"What type of girls?"

"Maryse's side kick, those type of girls."

Maria sighed softly as she stared down at her drink. She was eagerly awaiting for him to change the subject away from her and he did just that.

"Look Maria, I got to go. I'll see you around though alright?"

The redhead nodded at John as he stood up from his seat. The man leaned over and placed a soft kiss on her cheek with a faint smile.

"I'm sorry for being annoying." He chuckled faintly which caused a faint smile to appear on her face.

"You weren't annoying, thanks for the juice, Cena."

"Don't mention it Red." John winked with a smile before he walked away from the scene, Maria watched his every step as she was left to sulk in all the points that were just dropped on her.

If Eve Torres had to pack another box she was going to go absolutely crazy. With all the back and forth moving going on in her life as of late she was stressed to the wire. To be quite honest all the moving wasn't the only thing stressing her out, Eve couldn't get last night off of her mind.

Eve didn't know what to follow. Should she follow her heart or her mind? Should she care more about others desires or her own? Should she pretend it didn't happen or would that just hurt her in the long run? All these questions stuck to the brunettes mind and she was on the verge of a breaking point.

The brunette became quicker with her packing after looking at the time. It was 5:36 and Mike's lecture had ended at 5:30 and she didn't really want to run into him so soon. The thought of it made her hands shake in fear. One day at a time the woman thought to herself.

After another 10 minutes all the boxes were packed with the woman's belongings but before Eve could call Barbie to let her in on the news the door opened and in came the one person Eve didn't want to see, Mike.

The man glanced over to Eve but she looked away, unable to catch his eye. Her heart was racing recklessly and her whole body stiffened. It wasn't hard to tell that she was uncomfortable, her eyes trailed to the stacked up boxes as she bit her bottom lip. "Barbie asked me if I wanted to live with her momentarily, I accepted."

"That was nice of her…" Mike's blue eyes stayed on Eve and she could feel her stare which made her stiffen even more. It was expected for her to respond, but no words could come out so Mike took the initiative and spoke. "Eve, we need to talk."

"Yeah, we do…look I'm sorry it was-"

"No, Eve. Don't give me that. Don't say you're sorry because I know what comes after that… you'll say it was a mistake and you just want us to go back to being friends but don't you dare even say that because you know that's not true I know I can't control myself after that to just be your friend Eve so don't you dare say it." Mike's words were passionate, they were just flowing out from him effortlessly as he eagerly begged the woman to speak what he thought was true.

"I'm just looking for what's best long term, Mike. This isn't natural you're my best fri-"

The man began to ease in on her, his blue eyes locked with her green ones and neither of them could look away. "How's this not natural?" Miz added in, his stare was locked on her as he eased in. Eve's heart was racing even more rapidly now but even she couldn't turn her head away. It didn't take long for their faces to be only inches apart.

His blue eyes roamed from her eyes to her lips as he spoke, "Are you really going to tell me you didn't feel that sense of release when our lips touched?" Mike kissed the woman's lips softly when he finished the sentence. The brunette's eyes began to close as she eased into the kiss, it felt very relaxing to have his touch.

Miz broke apart from their embrace as he moved his lips down her neck. He began to whisper against her skin between each and every kiss, "That you didn't feel that sense of satisfaction as either of our lips touched the others skin."

The way his breath touched her skin sent chills down the Latina's body. It started to become clearer and clearer that she wanted this. The shocking part was how badly she wanted this.

The blonde slowly began to pull away so that their eyes could be one on one again, he began to speak tenderly once again. "Look, if it wasn't obvious I like you a lot... that wasn't just a hook up for me and if I'm right, you have some feelings for me as well…"

Eve Torres was mesmerized not only by his actions or his stare but also by his words. Her mouth opened to speak but no words could come out. Her eyes kept switching from his eyes to his lips.

"I'm going to lean in now to kiss you because God, I want to kiss you… if you don't want me too even at all… just speak the words." Mike placed his finger underneath her chin and pressed his thumb against it, tilting her head. The man began to lean in as he delicately repeated, "Just speak…"

Their faces became closer and closer together. No words were released from the Latina's lips because there was no part of her that wanted him to stop, it was her turn to take the initiative.

"Damn it, just kiss me." Eve said while standing up on her tippy toes to push her lips against his, there was no more patience in her to wait for their lips to slowly meet.

The Miz became greedy with the woman as he wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her even closer to them. Eve pushed against his lips to make the kiss grow even deeper, a smile spread across Mike's lips the deeper the kiss grew.

It was amazing how good it felt for her to be close to him and vice versa. Mike Mizanin and Eve Torres? That didn't even sound right, but at the same time, it sounded perfect. It was obvious that this was going to cause complications around the Covington campus but they could no longer care about the thoughts of the other students, even if one of those students were Phil Brooks.

His forehead hit hers for a short tender moment and their breathing was unsteady. A smile was spread widely across Miz's features which reflected onto Eve's face. The man's paws steadily stroked her cheeks while he stared down at her.

"You're right." Eve said between breaths, it was almost hard for her to keep her composure. "You're right, I do like you..." The Latina paused for a second due to her widened smile as she saw his expression, her hands left his shoulders and headed towards his cheeks. "I'm just scared."

The blonde placed his hands over hers and held on tightly, his lips touched both of her hands repeatedly before speaking "I know, but you don't need to be…despite what others say this, you and me, it's natural…kissing you is the most natural thing I've ever felt in my entire life."

Eve stared at him for a second, it was amazing how just those words effected the entire situation. Suddenly, she was calm. There was no fear left in her body at this single moment. The way Mike had answered her soothed her, all that was left for her to do was smile and appreciate the guy in front of her.

And that's a wrap. Just a note I really wanted to do a halloween based chapter but obviously Halloween was yesterday and the time periods didn't actually match up... I am however going to do a thanksgiving (Nov.26)and Christmas (Dec. 23) so be aware.

Secondly, I love your reviews and I really do take them in to thought with this story although I have a lot planned I do critique some characters and other plot twists to suit you guys (If I approve of course) Also never apologize for long reviews! I adore long reviews so much.
