Deja Vu

Shauna stumbled into the backstage with Johnny's aid. Despite how brutal the man was to her, it was a fight after all and given the chance Shauna would've done the same to him. Now that the match was over, Johnny was just another wrestler in Tension. The redhead's legs were fine, but her back was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up straight. She groaned as they got to the locker room. "Damn it...ah fuck..." she continued swearing. As much as she enjoyed fighting, she truly hated getting hurt like this. It made her feel so dependent on others. "Hey...umm..." she started to say but stopped herself.

"Thanks."

Johnny led Shauna backstage through the hallway and intot he dressign rooms. He pushed one door opena nd brought her in, not bothering to clsoe it. He set her down in a couch and smiled. "No way, man." He said and smiled at her. "Believe it or not, I hate beatin chicks up. I like ta wrestle but I don't get any kicks seein ya in pain like this. I wish there was w away to just wrestle and grapple and stuff without all the rest of that shit." Johnny shrugged and walked over tot he mini fridge and pulled out two waters and brought one back to Shauna.

"But i always get put in these brutal matches or up against these chicks that just won't fuckin go down. It's kinda shit but, I hope ya feel better and junk. You WERE really tough, man." He said and flashed a smile before pulling off his shirt and opening the bottle and just dumping half of it onto his head and muscly chest, saving the rest for his mouth which he gulped down in two big swallows.

Shauna carefully sat down on the couch and sighed. She groaned uncomfortably as she leaned back trying to stretch a little. "I like fighting as well...sucks getting hurt but I mean...I want to win too." She didn't think it was hurt own fault for getting hurt. If Johnny just let her win it wouldn't have happened! "Thanks..." she said as she took the water and opened it. Johnny seemed dedicated to using it to cool himself off and show off his body.

I guess that's a compliment. Shauna splashed some water in her face but nowhere near the amount Johnny did. She caught herself staring at his body as he drank his water. At least that explained why everything he did hurt so freaking much. "I feel like I can't beat that," she said as she gestured to Johnny's physique. The redhead was decently athletic and toned herself, but feminine perfection wasn't as bulky as men generally were. Of course, though, she didn't need to take off her shirt to show off her own body. Her revealing wrestling attire helped with that.

"Ugh..." she groaned again but this time with a smile. "You hit like a fucking lorry..." Shauna untied her ponytail so her long ruby hair flowed down around her. With another relaxed sigh, she grinned. "Gravity totally helped you though."

"I've been there man...." Johnny said as he rubbed the back of his head. "I fought this one bitch that had some sort of grudge against my balls. I swear everything she did was aimed right at 'em. I still ain't sure if I'm gonna be able to have kids. Hell, it still hurts when I think about it.' He said and squeezed his thighs together. Johnny laughed, grabbed two more waters and sat next to Shauna, easing into the spot next to her and let out a sigh. it felt good to be off his feet.

"Or, some crazy chick tries to drag you under the ring and cheat her way to victory" He shook his head. "Fuck that noise, man." He looked at Shauna and smiled. "You were tough and you were legit. I think that's pretty cool and junk." He said and smiled. He then looked down at his body.

"But man, I work myself near to death to get a body like this. Ain't no offense man, but if I can bench two of you, I think it shouldn't be TOO much of a challenge to toss ya around int he ring a bit. I'm really not sure why they put babes like you up against gorilla's like me. Hell, I ain't even all that big compared to some dudes. I'm all Japanese and shit so I'm normal compared to regular sized pro dudes.

Johnny wasn't even thinking when he slapped Shauna's knee. "But shit, you put up a hell of a fight. "You're tough but ya ain't stupid. You're crafty enough not to go completely head on with me." He said and grinned at her, pulling his hand away as he took a sip of his water.

As Johnny talked to her about the less than honorable opponents he had faced, Shauna started to feel amazed by how disrespectful some people were. The Irishborn always wanted to tackle people head on. That was her strength and to have to resort to something like lowblows or cheapshots just made her ask why they were even wrestling to begin with. Shauna was quite surprised when Johnny sat next to her as he continued on. "Yea I had to fight one of those...bears of a man before and it wasn't...well it could've ended better." Her senses were very distracted when he put his hand on her knee. Adrenaline suppressed all thoughts of attraction and lust in the ring. But that wasn't the case here.

But the two wrestlers were shirtless and next to each other. Shauna just stared at his hand on her knee. The whole talk of him benching her only distracted her thoughts further. She thought of doing something but Johnny then pulled his hand off her and took a sip of water. Without saying a word, Shauna just took a sip of water. The simple motion made her groan with pain. "But I was stupid enough to get hurt." She had to change the topic just to see if he really meant anything by what he said...and did for that matter.

Just outside, however, a certain observer and stalked the two since they left the arena. She had intended to watch Johnny to see what he was going to do now that he won the match. With a hooded jacket and her mask on, Dark Angel was leaning her back against the wall just beside the open door. Angel had seen this move by Johnny before. Hell, he used it on her. She wasn't going to just sit by and let him harass another new girl.

Johnny shrugged and took another sip of water. "Man, I don't think you were stupid. You were just fightin hard and junk. Only way you knew how. If I was fightin some bigger dude, I'd probably do the same thing." He said with a nod and smiled.

Johnny leaned back. "But, I gotta say." He said looking her up and down. "I wasn't expectin such a hard match at first. I know ya ain't no waif or anything, but you're really cute an junk. I sorta figured you were gonna be a pushover." Johnny chuckled. "I guess that's what I get. for thinkin that way. Hard to find a girl who's cute AND tough though." Johnny said with a grin. "Your boyfriend must be pretty lucky. Johnny knew from experience. He was the luckiest man alive. There was no way in heck that a girl like Shauna wasn't already taken. Maybe he could even be pals with her boyfriend. Taylor always said he needed more male friends and Shinobu and his career weren't exactly the most reliable source of bro-action.

Shauna was surprised by how obvious Johnny was when he looked her up and down especially from how close they were. She looked right back at him unsure how to react to this. I mean, why else was he being so visible with his body? And so close too! He even called her cute. The normally courageous and aggressive girl suddenly found herself blushing and unable to say a word. It was so...unusual getting compliments from someone so attractive and close. The Irish girl couldn't control herself.

The redhead placed her hand on Johnny's shoulder and leaned into him with a kiss. This wasn't new territory for Shauna but it didn't make it any easier.

Johnny had thought that everything that they were speaking about was only on friendly terms and only as close as the bond that formed between two people who put their bodies on the line against one another could be. Which was actually pretty strong. Johnny was not expecting what happened next. As he politely waited for an answer, he slowly watched Shauna turn and then press her lips against his.

His eyes widened when he felt the soft lips and his cheeks went red. He was startled into immobility for the moment but when he felt her suddenly begin to open her lips to deepen the kiss, his hand came up and he pressed his hand firmly against the top of her breast and stiffened his arm. He gave her a firm press and pushed their lisp apart and looked at Shauna.

"I'm sorry..." He said. "I..." He let go of her and brought his hand up into her view. "I'm married and junk. I love my wife man. I wasn't tryin ta. I didn't think you would..." Johnny turned his head and stood up. "I'm sorry, man. I should get goin."

He stood awkwardly for a moment. "Um.. it was a good match and junk." He said as he grabbed his shirt and made his way quickly towards the exit.

Shauna's eyes were closed through the entire kiss. It felt so right to her at the time. But then she felt Johnny's hand lift up and push her away from him. For a moment, she had a look of utter rejection on her face. She really did misread this whole thing. He had brought her into the back where it was just the two of them, practically strip-teased for her while pouring water over himself and even making physical contact with her. She was so sure. But he really did have a ring on his finger and looked legitimately uncomfortable thanks to her.

As Johnny began to leave, Shauna opened her mouth to apologize but no words came out. She felt paralyzed with guilt at what just happened. As he was about to leave the room, she tried to get up and say something but her injury made her groan and sit back down. "I...I'm sorry..." she finally managed to say as he left. "Ah fuck..." she said as she slapped her forehead with both palms. That was so stupid. What was she thinking? After a few moments passed, Shauna finally managed to get to her feet.

"Don't worry. He does that," a voice from the doorway said suddenly. Shauna turned in surprise to see that somewhat familiar mask looking at her. Angel was holding her phone in her hand as if taking a picture of Shauna. But she wasn't. She already had the picture she wanted. "You're better off not knowing him."

"What the FUCK do you want?" Shauna barked angrily. It was a rhetorical question since clearly she was here to lecture her on Johnny. She just wasn't about to listen to Angel. Not when their first meeting simply consisted of Angel nearly kicking Shauna's head off. She was injured, but she wasn't about to let this girl intimidate or scare her. She wasn't even that tall.

"Nah, nothing. I have what I need." Angel smiled and put her hands in her pockets along with her phone. Not that Shauna could see the smile of course. "Take care of yourself hun," she added before walking away. Shauna stared with a blushed face very embarrassed by what had just happened. She imagined someone was going to yap about what just happened and she'd get mocked or something. She was about to angrily kick a chair over but decided it'd be less painful to just frown.
