Okay guys it's the weekend which means it's time for the next chapter in this little story. Like I warned you at the end of the last chapter there is a time jump it is now Valentine's day and romance is in the air. I hope you will enjoy reading this chapter as much as I did writing it.

My thanks to Writer's Madness, Starkittie and Willow Edmond for leaving me reviews for the last chapter you guys seriously rock, also to deanambrosewife2014 for adding it to favourites and to dawnieangel76 and onlybabyxscars for adding it to their alerts, I do appreciate it guys.

As always anyone you recognise does not belong to me, the only things that do are the idea for the story and the OC's


Callie

I stood looking critically at my work, at the moment my work happened to be Kaelen's pretty face and hair, it had been just over seven weeks since Rhea and I had attended the Monday night RAW event where I met my favourite wrestler in the whole world, John Cena. It had shocked the hell out of me when he came out for his match and instead of throwing his hat into the crowd like he normally did he came over and placed it on my head. I don't think I was nearly as shocked as Rhea though, when Dean or should I say Jon kissed her, I think she was floating about five inches off the ground when he let her go. I just wish he hadn't hurt her so much after that, I can see the pain in her eyes when she thinks I'm not looking, Dean Ambrose was her fantasy, but she got Jonathan Good and he treated her like a ring rat, used her and threw her aside. Even though we are kind of acquaintances through John, I don't know if I can forgive him for what he did to her. Of course I know his rep, hell which of his fans don't, it's hard to miss in the dirt sheets, he's a player with a high sexual appetite, I just hoped since we were all there together and Kaelen had been Randy's guest all day he would have treated Rhea a bit better than he did. He seemed so into her when we were at the club, sweet, funny attentive, I guess truth be told, if I had been in the same position, I would have been suckered in too.

Kaelen was really happy in her friendship with Randy, while I was over the moon being friends with John, he would text me virtually every day or send me a tweet, both of them were goofy, fun loving guys, great friends no matter what you see at the shows, and they would always find a way to let us know they were thinking of us when the shows were televised. I really wished for Rhea's sake that she could have the same as us; the guys even got us stuff for Christmas Colby and Joe too, except Jon got Kaelen and I something but not Rhea, I really wished he had not got me anything either, I saw the look on her face when we were talking about gifts and she realised the truth of what he had done.

I pulled myself out of my musing and turned back to my friend, she had a date with Randy tonight and wanted our help getting ready for it since this was both valentines and their first date, date. Sure they had been spending a lot of time together, virtually every day when he was home from the road, but this was their first official date, where she was going out somewhere with him.

Rhea was busy making sure Kaelen's outfit was just so, while I brushed out her naturally wavy hair, checking the way it hung around her head and shoulders, and then added a touch more colour to her eyes. Not too much because she didn't need it, she had that true English Rose completion, that didn't need much enhancement. I studied her for a moment and decided that she was done, holding up the mirror I let her see what I had achieved for her.

She smiled when she saw her reflection. "Thanks' Callie this is fantastic." She told me giving me a brief hug.

I can never get over how shocked Kaelen is when I show her what I have done with her make-up and hair, like I have somehow brought something out, instead of just slightly enhancing what is already there.

"Right now it's my turn." Rhea said bringing over the dress she had finished making a few small alterations to.

I watched as she helped our friend get into it, smiling as I saw how it now hugged her figure the, main colour being picked up by the colours I had used for her eyes. It looked like it had been made for her, which technically I suppose, now Rhea had worked her magic on it, it had been.

"You are stunning hun." I told her looking her over. "He's a lucky guy."

I knew the other guys were wrestling a house show tonight, John had texted me earlier to wish me a happy Valentine's day which I thought was really sweet of him.

Kaelen smiled over at me. "Thanks babe." She responded. "It's no big deal though just two friends going out for a meal."

Rhea and I looked at each other. "If you say so sweetie." Rhea said. "But I think that man is smitten, every time he's in town if he's not with his little girl he's with you, or wanting to be with you, how many times has he taken you over to dinner with his folks, and how often does his Mom call you when he's on the road and ask you over, she sees it too?"

Kaelen looked at us and flushed slightly. "He's just being nice to me, he wants a friend, just like John and Joe want to be friends with you guys."

I laughed softly. "Okay hun if you say so, but you know de Nile isn't just a river in Egypt don't you?" I knew full well that this was a proper date, Randy had been pumping us for information on where we thought she would like to go, and both Rhea and I knew he was going to ask her to be his girlfriend tonight.

"Yeah it flows through Sudan too." Kaelen replied making all three of us laugh.

"Okay true." I answered her, as she bent to slip on her heels adding a couple extra inches to her height, no bad thing since she was going out with a guy over six feet tall. "But you know what I mean."

She flushed again. "I'm not going to say that if he asked me I would turn him down." She told us. "The first time I saw him I thought that he was an almost perfect looking specimen of the male gender, he's gorgeous and a really nice guy as well, but you've seen the women he works with, I don't compare to them in any way, come on let's be honest here he could have any girl he wants, what he wants from me is a girl who's a friend, not a girlfriend."

I sighed softly, knowing how insecure she was about her looks, she couldn't see how really beautiful she was, if I ever met her Mother I would smack the bitch, she had done a real number on Kaelen's self-esteem. Rhea and I looked at each other and I knew she felt the same way as I did, I also suspected that Kaelen had not told us half of what her family had done to her over the years. I knew that she was very close to her Dad and that when he died she had not stayed at home too long before she was out on her own. It sounded as if her Mom was jealous of the relationship she had with her Dad and put Kaelen down every chance she got. The poor girl was very insecure about her looks and when we had, had a bit to drink she had told us her Mother encouraged one of her cousins to go after any guy who showed the slightest interest in Kaelen. Rhea and I had tried to bring her out of that insecurity, however if Randy asked her to be his girlfriend that would be a big deal for her. I knew that, that was exactly what he was planning for tonight unless for some reason he changed him mind and I couldn't see him doing that he was far too smitten with her, so tonight was going to be a really big deal for her.

I noticed that he was normally wearing the St Christopher she had given him when he cut promos and did back stage segments. I had seen the smile on her face as we watched RAW and she saw him wearing her gift. I also knew that it was really more than she could afford, she'd skimped on a few things for a month or so after Christmas.

"Kaelen you put those damn divas to shame, hell if you could wrestle you would have all the guys drooling over you when you were on TV." Rhea told her with a smile.

"Who's for a drink?" I suggested wanting to lighten the mood, Kaelen was starting to twist he hands and look self conscious, the last thing we needed right now.

"Oh yeah, just what we need." Rhea agreed with me at once.

Heading into Kaelen's kitchen I grabbed a bottle and three glasses, and then back in the lounge I poured for all of us. We clinked our glasses together toasting each other before sipping on our drinks smiling at each other.

"Well here's to a happy Valentines a day ladies." I said as the cold liquid flowed over my tongue and down my throat.

I had received some chocolates from John earlier in the day, Kaelen had looked at them suspiciously, but then she was weird like that, she always claimed English chocolate was much better than ours, maybe one day I would get a chance to find out. Still I am sure that she, like me appreciated John's gesture, it was a sweet thing for him to do, since he knew I did not have a boyfriend. I had thought Joe might send Rhea something to cheer her up since he knew she was single too, however so far nothing had shown up, I knew there was no way that ass Jon would send her anything.

The knock on the front door sounded very loud and Kaelen looked surprised, it was too early for Randy and it was obvious she wasn't expecting anything else. Putting her glass down she went to the door and opened it revealing the delivery guy there, he was holding a large box in his arms.

"Ladies." He said looking us all up and down. "I have a delivery for a Rhea Addison."

"That's me." Rhea handed me her glass and walked to the door.

"Sign here please?" He asked thrusting the electronic pad at her, she did as he asked and he handed her the box. "Happy Valentine's day ladies." He told us with a smile before walking away.

A bemused Rhea carried the box to the coffee table and set it down, before she looked at the two of us. I knew whoever sent it had to be someone who knew the three of us since we were at Kaelen's apartment, only someone who knew the three of us well would have known to send something for Rhea here today. The number of people who knew that the three of us would be here today, were actually very few, so I wondered if maybe it was from Joe? He was the only one I could think of offhand who would send her something today.

"Well open it girl." Kaelen told her. "It's no good just looking at it."

I silently agreed with her, wanting to know what it was and of course who had sent it. Smiling at us Rhea ripped the box open using the strip at the top and reached inside, she lifted out a beautiful spray of orchids in an ornamental vase.

"Wow, they are beautiful." She gasped putting the vase on the table, the delicate blooms gently nodding from the movement.

"Is there a card?" I demanded.

Searching in the box she found an envelope and opened it quickly, her eyes scanning over it before she handed it to me. The card had a big heart on the front of it and it looked expensive, not that I was surprised about that, the orchids must have cost a lot, things like that were not cheap, especially today of all days when the prices rose due to demand. The writing inside the card was unfamiliar, but it was written with a confident hand and I read it out.

"To the most beautiful woman I know." I read out to them. "The sun, the moon and even the stars pale in comparison to you, you are the light that brightens my world, even the orchids pale in comparison to your delicate beauty, love from your secret admirer." I looked at Rhea who had a smile playing on her lips. "Well damn it girl it looks like someone thinks a lot of you, don't recognise the hand writing, do you have any idea at all as to who could have sent them?"

"No idea." She replied looking at us both, her fingers caressing one of the delicate blooms. "They are beautiful and whoever sent them is sure a sweet talker."

Kaelen and I had to agree with that, and it was nice to see the happy smile on Rhea's face again, it had been missing a lot of late, ever since she had met Jon she had been a lot less inclined to smile and I was sure what had happened with him played on her mind. She stood there looking at them with a thoughtful look now, and I could not help wondering what, or maybe that should be who was going through her mind.

"I wonder who sent them to me?" She murmured, just loud enough for us to hear.

"Your secret admirer." I said with a smile of my own, she looked over at me, and I held up my hands. "No way was it us, we don't have the money to spend on flowers like those on a normal day, let alone Valentines."

She smiled again. "Good point." She admitted coming back to get her drink. "It's kind of exciting." She confessed taking a sip of her drink. "I really have no idea who they could be from."

Kaelen and I looked at each other, it was good to see Rhea happy, I had no idea who had sent the display to her or written the sweet words, but I was grateful to them. I knew how much she regretted what had happened with Jon, she had known about his reputation before she met him, but I also knew from what she had said that he made her feel special, so she disregarded what she had read and had ended up getting hurt.

The three of us finished our drinks while Kaelen finished getting ready for her date, and then we killed the bottle. It seemed like no time at all till there was another knock on the door and when I opened it Randy stood there. He looked smart, in nice dress pants, shirt and jacket.

"Hey." I said as he lent in and kissed my cheek. "She's just putting the finishing touches to her outfit."

"Hi Callie, Rhea." He said looking at us both. "How are you both?" He looked over at the table spotting the flowers, and frowned slightly.

"They're mine from a secret admirer." Rhea said showing him the card and making him smile; I was betting he was thinking someone had sent them to Kaelen.

"Beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady." He said gallantly making Rhea smile at him. "And talking of beautiful ladies, here is the most beautiful of all." Kaelen had entered the room from her bedroom. "Wow you look just incredible."

He moved to her and took her hand kissing it like some guy from a period movie, she had a delicate blush colouring her cheeks at his words.

"You look stunning Randy." She replied to him leaning in and placing a light kiss on his cheek.

"Why thank you, it's always good to know I scrub up well." He replied with a grin. "Are you ready to go?"

She nodded her head a smile playing on her lips as he pulled her to his side and tucked her arm into his.

"You two go on, we'll lock up." I told them, and they both smiled at me.

"Have a good time and have her home before curfew." Rhea teased her hands on her hips doing a great impression of her Mom.

"Sorry, she won't be home till well after dawn." The Viper replied with his trademark smirk.

We all laughed, as the pair of them headed out of the door, I really hoped this was the first of many dates for them, they made a good pair and it was obvious to us that he was really into her. Rhea and I took the used glasses to the kitchen and washed them up, before tidying things up and leaving, heading over to my place, since we had plans of our own, a video chat with John and Joe. I drove her car, as Rhea had her beautiful flowers to take care of, there was a little smile playing on her lips every time she looked at them.

Once at her apartment we opened another bottle and then I fired up my laptop and we sipped our drinks while waiting for the guys. At seven a ping from my machine told me that we had a video chat request and I grinned before accepting, seeing the screen open up and John and Joe grinning at us.

"Happy Valentine's day ladies." John told us with a grin.

"Happy Valentine's baby girl, Callie." Joe added. "Did Randy and Kaelen go on their date okay?"

"Yeah." I said with a grin on my face. "And someone, who shall remain nameless has a secret admirer; you should see the flowers she got."

"Really you got flowers?" John looked a bit concerned as he asked the question.

"No not me." I said, did I imagine the look of relief on his face when I said it wasn't me. "Someone sent Rhea some orchids, they must have cost a fortune today of all days." I told them both.

"Wow way to go Rhea." Joe responded. "Any ideas on who sent them?" He looked interested.

"No, they were posted from somewhere in St Louis, but I don't recognise the handwriting." She replied to him, hmm I thought to myself Rhea has studied the packaging on her flowers. "It's kind of exciting having someone out there who likes me enough to spend that kind of money on me." She gave a dreamy smile and a sigh. "I wonder who it could possibly be."

That was something I would like to know too, I just hoped it was some nice guy not some sort of creep. I heard a door slam and looked at the guys on the screen; Joe was looking over his shoulder and turned to face us again.

"Jon." He said by way of explanation.

I frowned not liking the fact that, that ass had been listening in on our chat, I risked a look at Rhea, there was a sad look on her face, then however she smiled and I felt a little better. I was hoping she would get over him soon and be able to move on, maybe the flowers and knowing someone was interested in her would help her forget Jonathan, bloody, Good.

We stayed chatting with them for a while, before they got called to get ready for the show and we had to call it a night with them. They both wished us a happy Valentine's Day once more and blew us both Valentine's kisses before breaking the link and getting back to work.

I closed the computer down and we headed into her kitchen to get ourselves something to eat, we did not say anything about the video chat we had just had, as we fixed our meal. I knew John was moving on with his life now that he had gotten Nikki out of his house and his life, we had become really good friends in the time between me meeting him and now, he called me his anchor and told me that I helped to keep him grounded and sane. I knew he wasn't seeing anyone, I wished I could have more than just friendship with him, I also knew that, it was highly unlikely things would go any further than that with him at least for now. He just wasn't ready for anything more than being friends, I did hope that when the time came though, that he might see me as a little more than his friend, oh well a girl can dream can't she?

I noticed that Rhea's eyes kept drifting to her flowers as we ate our meal, a little smile playing on her lips, it crossed my mind that Joe might have sent them to her. The big guy was a good friend always talking to her, like John did with me; he made some sort of contact with her every day. Maybe the pair of them would get together, I was sure she liked him and that was a good way to start a relationship. On the other hand Joe had seemed quite pleased when Jon stormed out of the room; maybe he was just happy the jerk knew that Rhea had other people interested in her.

Once we had finished our meal we put on a movie and kicked back relaxing, we were watching a light hearted comedy and were soon laughing our heads off. The film was almost finished when my phone rang, I grabbed it wanting to answer it quickly while Rhea paused the film, glancing at the screen I saw that it was Kaelen calling. I flicked it onto loudspeaker and answered.

"Hey hun how did the date go?" I asked looking over at Rhea, who was also paying attention.

"It was fantastic." She sounded a little breathless. "He took me to this really nice restaurant, it was all candle light and flowers, we had a really nice meal together and he gave me a beautiful necklace for valentines and then, then he asked me to be his girlfriend."

I could tell she was smiling and that she was happy, I was so glad he had finally asked her, they made a nice couple and he was good for her, he made her feel good about herself.

"That's great hun." Rhea got in while I added my congratulations to her for snagging the Viper himself.

"Hey ladies." I heard Randy's voice on the line. "Did Kaelen tell you we're now officially a couple?"

"Yeah, congrats on your beautiful girlfriend." I replied. "You're a lucky guy Orton."

"Don't I know it?" He replied. "Later ladies, we have a little more celebrating to do."

I heard Kaelen give a little indignant squeak and figured that they were going to have a bit of a physical celebration and she didn't want us to know about that. I could just imagine her glaring at Randy and flushing a little, knowing that we knew she was going to be getting some.

I put the phone down and Rhea and I high fived each other, John and I, as well as Rhea and Joe I figured, had discussed the possibilities of our friends getting together. I was really happy for Kaelen, Randy seemed like a really nice guy and I was sure he would be good to her. I looked over at Rhea trying to decide how she felt about the news; I was guessing her thoughts had gone to Jon again, she was probably thinking about the fact that our friend now had something that she would love to have herself; mind you I was willing to admit I would have loved the same for myself too. While I thought probably for the millionth time that it was a pity that she had, had to fall for a heartless jerk that had, and was, treating her like dirt.

"You okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah." She nodded and took a gulp of her drink. "It's just, you know, I was thinking about him again." She didn't say his name but I knew who she meant.

We finished watching the film, then it was time for me to head home, I hugged my friend, admired her flowers again before my cab arrived to take me to my apartment. Soon I was tucked into my lonely bed, thinking about one dimple faced John Cena, I was happy for Kaelen of course I was, but that didn't mean that, even though John and I were good friends I couldn't hope for more, couldn't hope for what Kaelen had for myself. I fell asleep thinking about my friends and the men in our lives. I wondered once more who could have sent Rhea the flowers, I had a feeling that she had hoped they were from Jon, I had a feeling it was not the sort of thing he would do, those were the thoughts I fell asleep to.


So Rhea has herself a secret admirer, there is a clue in there who wrote the note any idea's who you think it might be?

Next up will be Jon's chapter.

Any and all reviews gratefully received, if you have time I would love it if you would leave me one.
