"What a nice place you've picked out." He said as we stepped inside. I laughed. It was far from nice. The sign out front said thirty years of great bowling and it wasn't lying. Inside it looked like it hadn't been remodeled since the seventies. Everything was retro and was either brown, mustard yellow or green. I had passed it while I was walking trying to get away from the divas earlier. Soon as I saw it I knew it was the perfect place.
"Don't you just love it?" I asked smiling.
"Do I? How did you know that I love bowling allies with a seventies theme?" He asked sarcastically.
"Woman's intuition. Now lets get bowling." I said as I walked to the desk to pay for a lane. After that we went and got shoes. I had never bowled before but ti seemed easy. All you had to do was roll the ball down the lane and hit the pins. Simple. Well it wasn't as easy as I thought. No matter what I did my ball always went into the gutter. What made me even more mad was that Chris kept getting strikes. That was not how it was supposed to go. He was not supposed to win. I was supposed to win. After realizing that I wasn't going to win I took matters into my own hands. If I wasn't going to win at bowling I was going to win at something.
---------------------
About a hour later we were being shoved out of the bowling alley.
"Look what you did." I said as I looked at him and gave him one of the deadliest glares I could muster. It was fake of course but he didn't have to know that.
"Are you kidding me? You're blaming this on me?" He then laughed and shook his head.
"Yes I am. You got us kicked out." I then turned away from him and began to head back to the hotel.
"I was only helping you." I could hear how fast he was walking to keep up with my pace.
"How were you helping me by getting us kicked out? All I wanted to do was bowl and now I can't." I had to laugh quietly at that one. It was a lie. I didn't want to bowl. I just wanted out of there.
"I can't believe you're blaming this one me." I could tell from his voice that he was getting frustrated. He really was trying to help me.
"Chris." I said as I stopped walking and turned to look at him. "How can you justify that by beating that helpless guy up you were helping me?"
"You told me that he was trying to feel you up!"
"No I said that he was trying to fill me up. He offered me dinner. Maybe you would of heard that before you went and beat the shit out of him." That too was a lie. I did say feel me up but he didn't need to know that either. I had figured that if I got him to get us kicked out I could really guilt trip him and I'd have him in my hand. "You ruined the date Chris!" I then began walking again.
"I'm sorry but I really thought you said that."
"Well let that be a lesson. Listen before you start going all macho on people."
"Ok but let me make it up to you for ruining tonight. It's still early. Let me take you somewhere else."
"Sorry but I think I've had my round of excitement for tonight. But you will make it up to me." With that being said I walked into the hotel.
When I walked into my room the divas were in there watching something one tv.
"You're back early." Melina said as she sat up off of my bed.
"Yeah."
"So what happened?" I then proceeded to give them a fake story of how the date went. I made it include everything they had wanted to hear. After I told them that they were happy and they left my room.
I took a quick shower and hopped into bed after they left. When I got in my bed I let out the laughter I had suppressed all evening. I was laughing so hard tears came to my eyes and my sides began to hurt. I don't know how long I laughed for but I think I may have laughed myself to sleep.
------------------------------
The next day I wasn't able to sleep in either. I had a signing at some mall at 10. When I got to the mall I almost cried at how long the line was. But I knew that after meeting the fans my mood would change. It always did. Four hours and a hand cramp later I was done. I walked into the hotel with the intention of getting more sleep but I was stopped by Jillian.
"Where are you going?" She asked me.
"To my room."
"Ok well Melina told me to tell you that you have a date with Matt at three o'clock." I looked at my watch it was 2:50.
"Excuse me?" She had set a date up with him without my consent? It was at this moment that I realized that she really was on something.
"She said that he's on the card for the house show tonight so he can't go out tonight."
"Where am I meeting him?"
"Here. Hope you have fun." Then with that she walked away singing something. I didn't know what she was singing because it was off key and hurt my ears. I was surprised when nothing in the lobby broke. I sighed and plopped myself on one of the couches. It would have been a waste of time to go to my room so I sat there and waited. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the back of the couch. I wasn't planning on going to sleep and didn't know I had gone to sleep until I felt someone gently shaking me awake. I cracked one eye open and was looking at Matt Hardy. I quickly sat up without realizing he was standing over me. Soon as I lifted my head it slammed into his.
"Ouch." I said rubbing my forehead and laughing. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." He said. "Are you tired? Because if you are, we can reschedule for some other time."
"No. I'm good. Wide awake now."
"So are you ready to go?"
"Yeah." I then got up and followed him out to the garage. I didn't know where we were going but I hoped it was going to be another short date.
----------------------------
The date with Matt was more fun than I thought it would be. He had taken me to some restaurant and the food was really amazing. I thought that it would be hard to have conversation with him but it wasn't. He was very funny and just easy to talk to. He was sweet too. When he dropped me off at the hotel he walked me to my room and he didn't even go in for a kiss. It seemed that dating him wouldn't be so bad after all. When I entered my room, I was happy to find that there weren't any divas in there. I knew some of them were at the show but I didn't know where the others were and I really didn't care. I happily hopped in my bed kicking my shoes off and sighing as I laid back under the covers. With nothing to do tomorrow I was determined to sleep in.
I was putting my get as much sleep as possible plan into motion when there was a knock on my door. With a quick look at my alarm clock I saw it was one o'clock. I closed my eyes and prayed that it was PM because if it wasn't the person on the other side of the door was going to die. Another look and I saw that it was AM. I threw the covers off of me and stomped over to the door. I opened the door ready to kill whoever was on the other side. When I looked at the person, it was Chris. I gave him one long glare(this one real) and went to slam the door in his face but his arm went out and stopped it.
"What the hell do you want?" He better have a good reason or he was going to die.
"I wanted to know if you were doing anything tomorrow." I took a deep breath and laughed.
"You woke me up at one in the morning to see if I was doing anything tomorrow?"
"It seemed okay when I thought of it."
"I'm going back to sleep." I went to shut the door again but he stopped it.
"You didn't give me an answer."
"No Chris I'm not doing anything tomorrow. Happy? Good now go." He stopped the door again.
"I was wondering if I could make that date up to you tomorrow." I laughed again was he serious?
"Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Whatever." I said.
"So that means yes right?"
"Yes now leave." I was then able to successfully slam the door in his face.
It was as I lay on my bed trying to go back to sleep that I wondered what I had gotten myself into by choosing to date Chris.
