When Ronda finally woke up, her head was buried underneath the covers like it usually was. When she pulled the covers down and looked around the room, she was all alone. She got a little nervous and called out to Dwayne, thinking that maybe he was in the bathroom. When he didn't answer she looked around to see if his clothes were on the floor, which they weren't. She rested her chin on her knees and decided to get in the shower when the door opened.

"Ronda? Oh, good, you're awake. I got us some breakfast." He sat the bags on the table then came over and gave her a kiss. "How did you sleep?"

"Very well, thanks to you," Ronda replied smiling, and he smiled back.

"You're just waking up?"

"Yeah. What did you bring me?"

"Nothing too complicated, just some pancakes, 'cause The Rock loves pancakes (Ronda rolled her eyes), some bacon, and an egg white omelet for me." She got up, put on a robe and joined him at the table. After breakfast, she took a shower and made sure that she locked the door. When she was done, she saw him sitting on the bed with his arms crossed.

"No fair locking the door." She laughed.

"I knew you were gonna try to come in, and I knew what you wanted to do in the shower and I don't have time for that. I have a plane to catch and so do you."

"Alright," he sighed, "I'll go shower in my own room. Come and get me when you're ready." He kissed her, then left. She decided to call the house she shared with Stephanie to see if she was there but she got the machine, so she hung up and went home to her mom's for the next few days.

On Sunday, she saw Steph in catering. Ronda walked over while she was drinking a cup of tea and whispered quickly, "I slept with DJ on Tuesday, I'll tell you about it later." Stephanie dropped her cup, grabbed Ronda's arm and dragged her into her dressing room.

"You WHAT?! Oh my God, you had sex with him! Tuesday! Tell me absolutely everything right now. Okay, he walked into your room, then what?

"Well, I can't tell you everything, like, verbatim."

"Well, you better try! I don't care if he just asked for a cup of water and your clothes fell off, I wanna know everything!" Ronda sighed.

"Alright, so at like, 3 in the morning I hear somebody banging on my door..."

"...You went off on him?!"

"I thought he was trying to play me!" Stephanie shook her head.

"Well, go ahead and finish."

"So, he grabbed me and kissed me and it just happened. I know it's not bullshit when people say that now."

"Wow. So then what?

"He brought us breakfast."

"Aw! well, now you are officially the Girlfriend." When Steph said that, Ronda got a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. Just then, the door opened and Dwayne came in.

"I thought you were in here. Can I talk to you for a minute?" Stephanie smiled, then got up and left.

"I take it you told her?" Ronda nodded, then started playing with her fingernails. "It's okay, I know you two are best friends. So, how are you?"

"I'm okay," She said as he walked up to her.

"Then you won't mind if I prove it," He said, lifting her chin up and kissing her. But before the kiss could get any deeper, Ronda pulled away. He paused.

"Okay, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just don't want anyone to walk in on us or anything," She lied. She'd seen Steph lock the door from the inside before she left. Sensing this, he raised his eyebrows and put his hands on her shoulders.

"Ronda, don't lie to me, I hate when people lie to me. So, what's really going on?" She sighed. There was no use in hiding it from him, and she wanted him to trust her.

"It's just something that Steph said before you walked in. See, after I told her what happened and I told her that you brought us breakfast, she just said something that bothered me," She paused.

"Well, what'd she say?"

"She said that now I'm officially your girlfriend." She went back to biting her nails. He thought it over and smiled.

"Well, is that such a bad thing?" She took her fingertips out of her mouth to say something, then a thought popped into her head and she looked away. It was Dany, his wife.

"I know that I'm married," he said, as if reading her mind, "And I don't know how to rationalize this, but I knew that I couldn't go another day watching you walk, and seeing you smile without wanting to grab you and rip your clothes off."

"Well, that wouldn't be a good idea, just ripping my clothes off...but if you had kept kissing me like that it would've been hard to say no."

"Maybe I can help, then," He said, raising her chin up again into a kiss, and sure enough any doubts she had faded away. She broke away and hugged him, her face snuggled into his chest.

Kinda short chap. But I had to write one nice, peaceful chap before everything hits the fan. Stay tuned...
