"Okay seriously that was the last time, we have to focus here." Melina laughed as she sat up in bed. They had to practice self-restraint. Sex wasn't going to fix their screwed up relationship and they both knew it, but that didn't stop them from constantly going at it like rabbits whenever they were on the verge of getting back together. Dave looked over at her with puppy dog eyes but she didn't give in to him. Instead she moved further away from him on the bed and wrapped the covers around herself firmly. "Not going to work. I refuse to leave this unaddressed. I still kind of hate you." That instantly changed his demeanor. She could see that he was slightly annoyed but he was trying not to let it show too much on his face.
He sat up in the bed and turned to face her. "So where do we start this time?"
Where did they start? She wasn't lying when she said she still kind of hated him. It was the honest truth. One look at Brie was all it took to remind her of how many times he probably lied to her face once again.
She shook her head clear. It wouldn't help to start things off with her anger and resentment of his lying. They wouldn't get anywhere if she did that. "First things first, when it happened, when I walked in on you…when I caught you fucking her, how many times had it happened this time before I caught you guys?" Her head instantly began to fill with the images of the two of them on the bed in his house.
She had gone there to surprise him. They had planned on a quiet weekend get away after they had found out that neither of them had to work on the shows over the weekend. The time they spent together away from everyone else was becoming few and far between and they wanted the time alone. But she soon found out that she had some photo shoot over that weekend and had to cancel on going to D.C with him. Of course that didn't go over well with Dave so they argued.
Seven Months Ago:
"It's kind of low key, but it's a really good deal. It came up last minute and I can't say no. I mean they want me! They asked me to do this!" Melina was excited. Some women's health magazine wanted to go and interview and article about her. It was about how she stayed fit and dominated in a male dominated career. It was an honor and she did feel bad that she wouldn't be able to spend the weekend how she and Dave had planned, but it was an amazing opportunity.
Dave stopped warming up and looked over at her. "So this means you can't come to D.C?" They were in the men's locker room, but it was mostly empty because most of the guys were off eating or getting ready to leave for the night seeing as it was only thirty five minutes until the show was over. Hunter of course was in the room and out of the corner of her eye she could see a slight smirk appear on his face as he realized what was about to happen. On the other side of the room Randy turned his back to them and started on a more intense warm up. She could hear Johnny chuckle and Mickie give off a sigh from where she was waiting for Chris to finish packing up.
Melina took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. He hadn't even congratulated her or said anything in acknowledgement of being in the magazine. She knew like everyone else in the room where the conversation was doomed to head, but she tried her best to stop it. She didn't want to argue with him, especially in front of so many people. "I want to go trust me, but I can't pass this opportunity up. That's why I was thinking that maybe instead we could just spend the weekend in L.A. That's where they want to do the shoot anyway and my apartment is there so it would be the same just not in D.C but in L.A."
"It wouldn't be the same. You would be working and I would be left to just entertain my self. The whole point of this was to spend time with each other. But whatever, you go and do that and I'll go to D.C. We'll meet up on Monday I guess." He began his warm up again with forceful swings to the air.
She should have let it go. It would have been the smart thing to do. She should have waited until they were alone but she couldn't help it. "Oh please, even if I did come to D.C with you we wouldn't spend much time together. You would be too busy running around hanging out with everyone else but me. I would be the one stuck in the house bored."
He once again stopped his work out and she could see him clench his fist before he turned around to look at her. "That's because we're always in L.A. We hardly ever spend time in D.C! And you don't have to stay in the fucking house all of the time. You could come out and spent time with my family and friends but you choose not to."
Slowly she saw Johnny, Mickie, and Hunter leave the room. They knew where things were heading and seemed to want no part of it. She felt bad for Randy who had nowhere to go seeing as his match with Dave started in less than ten minutes.
"I really don't want to argue about this David. I'm going to take part in this wonderful opportunity. You can be happy for me, or you could sulk like a damn child and complain about me not being able to spend ONE weekend with you."
"Oh please cut the 'I'm more mature in this relationship than you' bullshit. If it was me who was backing out on a weekend together you would be pitching a bitch fit a hundred times worse than this." Once again he turned his back to her and she wanted nothing more but to punch him to knock some sense into him.
"I would be happy for you if you had something like this. I would understand how important it was. And I don't pitch bitch fits. You're the dumbass who can't see that this doesn't have to be a problem. We can still spend the weekend together but you are being stupid and stubborn."
"Oh fuck you Melina. I don't even care anymore. I don't give two shits what you do over the weekend. I told you to go. You go out there and prance around for some magazine no one even reads and I'll go to D.C. I don't want to spend the weekend with you anymore. As I said before go fly home. I'll see you next Monday at the show." His back was still turned to her as he continued to warm up and she could see red slowly began to seep into her vision.
"No, fuck you Dave. You stupid ass ogre! I don't want to-" Before she could even finish the string of insults that were sure to come out of her mouth, Randy interrupted her.
"Dave, it's time for us to head out to the gorilla." She turned her glare to Randy and he gave her a pointed look back. Dave looked back over to her and shook his head.
"I have a match to go do. I have to go to the Smackdown taping tomorrow, but I guess you're flying home. I'll see you Monday, let me know when you get in, we can do breakfast or lunch or something." He walked over and tried to give her a kiss but she ducked her head out of the way. He sighed and placed a kiss on her forehead and walked out of the door.
It worked. He had succeeded to make her feel guilty. He was the one in the wrong, but she was left feeling like the ass that was over reacting. Now instead of spending the rest of the time with him until she was planning to fly out on Thursday, he didn't want her to go to Smackdown with him and she wouldn't see him again until Monday. She roughly grabbed her things and walked out of the door. She couldn't believe how much of a little bitch her boyfriend was.
Four days later Melina was back across the country outside of Dave's house. She fished out the key she had and opened the door. "Dave?" She looked around the living room but there was no trace of him. His car was in the driveway so she knew he had to be home.
She had finally given in to the guilt and decided to fly back to D.C. She had managed to push up the photo shoot and interview and had finished it the day before. That meant she was free to spend the weekend just as she had planned with Dave and they could get over the argument once and for all. They had spoken to each other and shared quick texts since their fight, but she didn't feel comfortable with the way things had been left.
She set her bags down and began walking around trying to find him.
Because it wasn't the first time, she should have been prepared for what she saw when she entered the bedroom. She should have seen the signs. There were always signs when she looked back on it, but she could never spot them in the moment. Like how the tv in the living room was on, but what ever was playing on it had long ago ended and the screen was left blue. It was the little things like that she bypassed that could have prepared her for what saw.
But when she walked into the bedroom and found Dave there lying in bed with Brie, all she could think was someone was going to die. She did wonder if they planned it so that she always caught them in bed. She always caught him in bed with someone else. He usually just suspected she cheated on him and he never really knew until someone else told him or she just out right told him, never had he caught her in bed with someone else. Not like she always did.
"You're got to be fucking kidding me." They both instantly snapped their heads towards her and Melina had to smile. "I should have known, of course you couldn't keep it in your pants for a couple of days." Dave quickly got up out of the bed and began searching for his clothes. Brie did the same, but Melina just stood leant against the doorway with a smirk on her face.
Dave walked over to her once he had his pants back on. "Baby, I can explain, just come with me downstairs and we can talk." He tried to grab her hand to lead her downstairs but she shook him off.
"Why don't we talk here Dave? What can't Brie hear? You don't want her to hear you put her down once again? Don't want her to hear about how once again she was just a mistake and you regret ever being with her in the first place? You don't want her to hear all of the shit you talk about behind her back and see that everything else you say is just a way to get some free sex out of her? Don't want her to see how much of a lying piece of shit you are?" She shoved him back away from her as he once again tried to drag her out of the room.
Brie who was also finally dressed looked like a deer caught in headlights, but Melina didn't miss the way she slowly gravitated towards Dave and stood by his side. It just made her angrier.
"You're such a fucking slut, both of you are just fucking sluts. I'm so done. I'm not going to deal with this again. You can fucking have him Brie, because I don't ever want to see him again." She wasn't going to cry. She was still in disbelief over the whole thing. They sickened her. She turned to walk away, but Dave was there in front of her blocking the way.
He put both of his arms up in the doorway and stared down at her. "No don't leave yet. Just let me talk to you for two seconds. I can explain if you just listen." She just looked at him, but he didn't move. She tried to push past him, but he wouldn't budge. So she punched him as hard as she could.
His hands instantly went from the doorway to clutching his left cheek. She didn't know if it was from the force of the blow or surprise. She hoped it was from the former, but knew it was because the latter. With his arms out of the way she tried to walk out of the room once and for all, but she was quickly pulled back by Brie.
"Who do you think you are hitting him like that?" Brie had dragged Melina back and shoved her across the room where she roughly collided with the dresser.
"You really don't want to do this Brie." The last time they had gotten into it, they were quickly separated by Dave, but Melina knew it was going to take more than Dave to stop her this time. If Brie wanted a fight then she would give her a fight.
Dave, probably sensing how out of hand things could possibly get walked over to Brie. "Don't Brie."
"No I'm not going to let her come in here and think she can get away with something like that. Maybe this time she'd get that if she wasn't such a bitch all of the time you wouldn't feel the need to constantly be with someone besides her."
"Brie what did I tell you last time? Seriously-" But before he could finish scolding her, she was tackled by Melina.
As soon as she hit the ground Melina got about two punches in before she was being picked up by Dave. But while Dave held Melina with her back clutched against his chest Brie stood up and tried to get in a few hits of her own. He dropped Melina on to the bed and tried to force Brie out of the room, but instantly he felt Melina jump on his back.
It went on for a little longer with him trying to separate them while getting caught in between them before he couldn't take it any longer. Melina wasn't showing any signs of stopping and she was doing some serious damage fighting the both of them. So he forcefully shoved her into a wall. But that only stopped her for a few seconds before she was up again. But he was right there in front of her. He picked her up, slung her across his shoulder, dumped her in the closet and put his back against the door so she couldn't get out.
"Brie I think you should leave now." She nodded and turned to him with a shy smile on her face.
"Call me." Dave didn't respond but heard Melina give a couple of violent bangs against the door and shout muffled curses. He waited until he was sure Brie had left the house before he opened the door to the closet and let Melina out.
As soon as he stepped away from the door it flew open and Melina stepped out. She looked at him in disgust and sneered. "I hate you." She then kneed him in the balls and left the room as he doubled over and fell to the ground.
Present Day:
That day had been a very bad day for her. She quickly drove down to Virginia where Mickie was staying and told her what had happened. Of course it took Mickie all of two seconds before she said I told you so, but Melina didn't care. She was hurt and betrayed. But most of all she really never wanted to see Dave ever again. She had been beyond done at that point. Yet here she was again in bed with him. It was pathetic.
"It was the first time. I didn't plan it or anything. I didn't even want it honestly."
Melina laughed. "So she just showed up on your steps at your home and threw her naked body at you and forced you to have sex with her?"
Dave let out a chuckle of his own at how ridiculous it did sound. "Okay, it didn't happen exactly that way, but just let me explain. I didn't know Brie was going to come over, but she did. She had Nikki with her and I tried to get them to leave but they wouldn't. And then the next thing I know, they were both all over me. I mean I could have told them to stop, but I'm not going to lie, the idea of sleeping with twins was damn hot. But somewhere down the line, Nikki disappeared and I was left with Brie."
"God, you're such a disgusting pig!"
"Look, I know it was wrong and disgusting and gross and everything, but you left me all alone. You hadn't even remembered our anniversary was that weekend until after the fact. I guess somewhere deep down I was trying to hurt you and I'm sorry."
If it was one thing they had kept constant when they were together it was their anniversary. Even with all of the break ups they had been though, somehow they were always together when the date of the day they first decided to be a couple came around. It was weird, but in the five years it had past, the last one was the only one they hadn't been together for.
"I didn't forget it. It slipped my mind for a little while. But on to more important things…is the sex with her that good?"
Dave slowly raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What?"
"I was just wondering, you always go to her. I mean three out of four times it's been her. I just want to know why. What's so special about her?"
He sighed and looked away. When he finally did speak, it was so low she almost didn't hear him. "It's not the sex. I've told you plenty of times; you're the best I've ever had. But Brie, I don't know it's like she always comes along when I just can't say no anymore. I try to resist her, but it's like she really likes me. I mean in her eyes it's like I can do no wrong, and Mel, I'm not going to lie it's a good feeling. She boosts my ego."
"Do you want to be in a relationship with her?" That was the first time he truthfully told her the entire story behind his pull to Brie. Of course she made him feel that way. She followed him around like a damn puppy.
"Hell no. I told you I tried it before. It wasn't good. She's the needy type. I'm done with her. I'm over her. I don't ever want anything to do with her anymore. You're the only person I want to be with, I swear." He dragged her across the bed in a bear hug and she sighed as she returned it. She wanted to believe him. She wanted to believe him more than anything she'd ever wanted in her life, but she just couldn't anymore.
She pushed back out of his embrace and looked into his eyes. "There are still a few things I have to get off of my chest." She sat down on his stomach and took one of his hands in hers. "I don't believe you. I'm not going to trick myself into thinking that you're going to be faithful this time. I can't. What I can do however is tell you this. I love you Dave, a lot more than I want to, but I do. And if you love me as much as you claim you do, you'll do this for me. Next time you sleep with someone else, just tell me. Let me know ahead of time, I can't promise I won't kick your ass again, but I don't want to catch you in the bed with some slut again. Also you know ahead of time that the next time is the last time and I mean it Dave. I can't do it anymore. I'm giving you this chance to prove to me you don't have to cheat. I want you to prove Mickie and Johnny wrong for me. Because they are my best friends and I've probably lost that by being with you. This is it Dave, I mean it. So tell me now, can you do it? Do you think you can seriously commit or at least have the balls to break up with me before you go out and fuck some slut?"
"I promise you this is it for me. You're all I want. I really do get it and I want this to work between us. I want to show everyone how wrong they are about us. I love you too much to screw up again and possibly loose you forever."
"There's no possibly mister. Screw up again and you will lose me forever." She waggled her finger in front of his face and he quickly took it into his mouth. "Stop it. I'm serious here." She said as she lightly slapped him on the chest.
"Okay seriously, I understand completely. Thank you for giving me a second chance. You won't regret it baby." He then tackled her once again and they got back to having some of that amazing sex.
AN: I though it was important to show exactly how Dave and Melina's relationship works when they argue and fight. Review and let me know what you think of the story so far :)
