Author's Note: Prequel to my story The Heights of Love where John and Brianna first meet, and how they struggle to develop a relationship through the telephone. Also, let’s just pretend that John started as a heel and was already doing the raps and wearing the throwback jerseys.
A/N #2: I'll try my hardest not try to keep this cannon for The Heights of Love if I make a mistake don't hesitate to tell me :)
“I’m wrestling you,” John groaned sitting in the metal chair leaning back as Randy pulled on his boots.
“Ha!” Randy said pointing at John, “I’m going to kick your ass.”
“Sorry to disappoint my friend,” John grinned. “I also got a glimpse at the crowd, it’s jammed packed!”
“And they’re all here to see me,” Randy laughed loudly.
“You’re insane,” John said shaking his head “You better hurry your ass up we’re up first.”
“How long till the show?” Randy said sitting up to attention.
“Twenty minutes pretty boy, hurry up and get ready, we’ve got 10 minutes for the match,” John said looking at his watch before putting it back into his bag.
“Let’s plan,” Randy said nodding quickly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Brianna c’mon!” Craig groaned as Brianna lagged behind him trying to get to their front row seats.
“You try walking through all of these people without falling over!” Brianna frowned at him as he sat down next to his girlfriend as she adjusted her hat.
“I just did, now just shut up and sit down, the show starts in five minutes,” Craig said over his shoulder as she quickly fell into her seat.
“Rude,” She said frowning. “Hi Dylan.”
“Hi Bri,” Dylan said leaning over Craig smiling at Brianna. “Excited about college?”
“Excited as you can get,” She smiled at Dylan as she straightened her shirt. “We’re driving up middle of next week to move me in.”
“Do you know your roommate yet?” She asked quickly getting an angry look from Craig, because the show was starting.
“I met her earlier this week for lunch, I’m sure we’re going to get along just fine,” Brianna grinned.
“Do you two mind?” Craig asked quickly glaring at them.
“Sorry,” Brianna and Dylan laughed settling in their seats. Brianna smiled to herself as the ring announcer started the show by announcing the first wrester in the opening match.
Brianna stared open mouthed at the wrestler who walked through the curtain, she couldn’t take her eyes off of him, and his eyes shined brightly even through the heel face he was putting on. Her heart leapt into her throat as he rolled into the ring and went to his corner and leaned against the turnbuckles waiting for his opponent. She could’ve sworn that he looked her way and stared at her.
“Bri close your mouth you’re drooling,” Dylan said quietly as the announcer introduced his opponent.
“Who’s he?” Brianna whispered back as the crowed cheered for the opponent.
“The guy in the ring?” Craig asked pointing to the man waiting in the corner.
“Yes him,” Brianna said unable to take her eyes off of his body.
“That’s John Cena,” Craig laughed rolling his eyes, “If you paid attention to the announcer you would’ve heard that. Stop drooling.”
“Sorry,” She said quickly taking her eyes off of John. “He looked at me.” Brianna added brightly.
“Your imagination runs wild on you Bri,” Craig said keeping his attention on the match.
“I wasn’t imaging it,” Brianna huffed folding her arms across her chest. “At least I don’t think I did.”
“Out of all of these people why would he look at you?” Craig laughed grinning, moments later he realized he said the wrong thing as she looked like she was going to cry. “Bri I didn’t mean it that way! I was just saying that he could just be looking at the crowd in general!”
“You’re so rude to me! I don’t even know why I came with you to this stupid show!” Brianna said looking angry at her cousin as she got up from her seat and quickly walked away.
“What in the world did you say to her?” Dylan asked quickly taking her eyes off the match as John Cena was drop kicked to the mat by Randy Orton.
“The wrong thing apparently,” Craig said scratching the back of his neck. “I better go talk to her.”
“Just wait it out,” Dylan said grabbing Craig’s hand.
Sure enough a few minute later Brianna came walking through the crowd and sat down next to her cousin without saying a word to him. Folding her arms she smiled at John who was beating on his opponent. The only reason she came back was to see the end of the match. She flinched when John was thrown to the outside of the ring by Orton, who slid out after him.
Suddenly he was standing in front of her using the barrier for support. Orton walked over to him and hit him hard right over the barrier and into Brianna’s lap causing her to fall out of her seat. Craig and Dylan stared in amazement as Brianna smiled at him.
“Hi,” John mouthed pretending to be recuperating.
“Hi,” She smiled back at him as he pushed himself up to his knees.
“Meet me outside in twenty,” He said quickly before he climbed back over the barrier getting met with a right hand from Orton.
“Bri,” Craig said helping his cousin up, as she stared blankly at the spot where John was just sitting talking to her. “Are you okay?”
“I’m—I’m fine,” She smiled weakly as she sat back in her seat.
“Well I’ve never seen that happen before,” Dylan laughed.
“Me either,” Craig said looking at Brianna worriedly as she continued to stare at John Cena. He wished he could’ve heard what he said or seen what he did to Brianna to make her all dreamy eye.
“What’s wrong?” Dylan asked as the crowd cheered and jeered as the referee held up Cena’s arm in victory as Randy Orton rolled out of the ring.
“When that Cena fell into Brianna’s lap,” Craig said spitefully “Which I don’t think was by accident, he said something to her look at her, she’s all lovely dovey all of a sudden.”
“What you don’t believe in love at first sight?” She asked frowning at her boyfriend.
“It’s not that I don’t,” He frowned as Brianna picked up her purse and quickly walked away without a word “It’s just this worries me.”
“She’s probably just going to the bathroom,” Dylan said holding onto his hand to stop him from going after her. “Leave her be.”
“I just have a bad feeling about this,” He frowned as she disappeared into the crowd.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Why did you have me kick you into that poor girl?” Randy asked wiping his face off with a towel “You probably hurt her.”
“I didn’t hurt her,” John laughed nostalgically grabbing for his shirt. “I just knocked her out of her chair with my arm.”
“Still why did you do it,” He frowned at his friend as he stood up. “Aren’t you going to go take a shower?”
“I have to go do something quickly,” John said quickly reaching for his hat.
“Are you going to tell me why you fell into that girl?” Randy asked loudly as John shut the door behind him. “What’s gotten into you?”
John quickly ran through the halls ducking behind pillars and stacks of boxes if one of the higher ups happened to cross his path, he couldn’t get her out of his head. He really didn’t know what came over him, just the moment he saw her sitting there, something sparked in him—he had to talk to her. Reaching the back exists he looked around to make sure that no one was around.
Quickly opening the doors he looked around for her, as the door shut behind him, his heart raced as he started to walk toward the front of the building. He wanted to see if he would cross paths with her. As he neared the side of the arena he saw her standing there, looking around for him. In the dim light of the streets he could see the worried look on her face. She must’ve thought he was crazy for asking her to meet him outside. Yet here she was waiting for him. Standing quietly for a few minutes, he wanted to see if she was going to leave, when she didn’t he plucked up the courage and walk up to her.
“Glad to see you didn’t think I was creepy,” He grinned brightly at her as she quickly turned around.
