Adam and Shelby left the club about the third time Whitney tried to sit in John's lap. Neither of them had any desire to watch the pair make out.
"Wow, remind me to keep alcohol away from your sister." Shelby laughed.
"So what do we do now?" Adam shrugged. "We could go back to the hotel and watch a movie. Or talk. Or we could go somewhere and watch the sunrise"
"That sounds good." They drove to a look point and got out of the car and sat on the hood. They looked out at the view.
"So, Whitney does get a little wild when she drinks." Adam laughed. "I don't think she and John have been out too much lately."
"That doesn't surprise me with his busy work load." She smiled. "So, tell me about you?"
"What about me?"
"Whatever you want to tell me."
John and Whitney arrived at their hotel room after leaving club. It had taken John a little bit to get her out of the club and then once they got to the car, they ended up having sex in the car.
"Do you think Shelby is okay?" Whitney asked as they walked into their hotel room.
"She's fine and this is what you wanted right? Her to meet someone and Adam is great." He replied. He knew she was slowly sobering up but not completely.
"Yeah, you're right." She kissed him and they ended up in bed together.
Adam looked over at Shelby. "Well, you know I grew up in Canada and I always wanted to be a wrestler. I worked hard and here I am." He smiled. "So, what about you? Tell me about you."
"We grew up in Texas. I worked to put myself through school. I always knew I would be my own boss one day. I love the outdoors and reading."
"Nice." He replied. "So, was it fun to grow up with a sibling?"
"Yeah. Whitney and I were like any siblings. We fought and we made up. We were always protective of each other. But while I love my sister, she can be a little pushy. She wants everyone happy like she is."
"Ah, a romantic. A woman after my own heart."
"You? A romantic? I never would have guessed that one."
"I'm full of surprises and contradictions. Real person vs. persona."
"Right." She smiled.
"Well we better get back. I would hate for John and Whitney to worry." Adam said as he looked at his watch.
"Oh I doubt those two even know I'm not back yet. With how drunk my sister was, she and John are probably so wrapped up in each other, they had no idea about anything."
Adam laughed. "We still should get back. Maybe we could have dinner just the two of us?"
"Are you asking me out?" She asked.
"Yeah."
"Okay. How about tonight after the pay per view?"
"Sounds like a date to me."
"Great." They got into the car and headed back to the hotel.
Adam walked her back to her room and then headed to his. Shelby entered her room and got ready for a shower. She checked her phone and saw she had a text from Whitney. She read it and laughed. Whitney could never make sense when she was drunk. She just rambled about nothing. She would call her in the morning.
Adam walked into his room and smiled. He had a date with her. There was something about her that he was drawn too. He smiled to himself and sighed. Maybe Mike was right. Maybe he had fallen in love with her. He shook his arm and rubbed his neck a little trying to attribute the pain and numbness to the long day he'd had. He needed a hot shower and some rest. Everything would be better in the morning.
The next morning, Shelby woke up at seven a.m. and got ready for the day. She picked up her phone and called Whitney. She got John instead.
"Where my sis?" Shelby asked him.
"Sleeping off last night." John laughed. "She should be waking up soon."
"Then how about breakfast?"
"Sure. We will meet you in the restaurant in an hour."
"Alright." Shelby said hanging up.
She got dressed and grabbed her keys, phone and purse and opened the door to walk down to the hotel restaurant smiling when she saw Adam standing there.
"Good Morning." He said.
"Morning. You're up early."
"Curse of being on the road. I was wondering if you wanted some breakfast."
"I was just about to go meet John and Whitney. You wanna join us?"
"Gee, I don't know...two dates in one day?" Shelby laughed.
"Come on, it's just breakfast."
"Alright." He smiled. "Let's go."
They walked into the restaurant and were shown to a table. "So, John and Whitney are coming right?"
Shelby laughed. "Yeah John said they would be right down."
After hanging up with Shelby, John woke Whitney and they got dressed and headed downstairs. They walked into the restaurant and were shocked to see Adam sitting with Shelby. Whitney smiled at the scene. John pulled her close and whispered to her.
"Don't overreact and don't push." Whitney nodded. They walked to the table and Shelby smiled seeing Whitney with a little bit of a hangover.
"Rough night?" She asked as she slid into the seat next to Adam so John and Whitney could sit together. Adam smiled to himself as her leg brushed his knee.
"Yeah." Whitney said. "So, what's the plan for today?"
"Well Adam and I have some media things to do." John replied.
"Ok. So sis how about we go find you a killer dress for the Hall of Fame Ceremony tonight?" Whitney said to Shelby.
"Alright." Shelby replied. She knew how much her sister liked to shop. "What's your dress like?"
"It's a very tasteful evening gown." Whitney replied. "I will show you later."
"Well shopping sounds good. So after breakfast, we will leave the guys."
"Do you have a date for the ceremony Adam?" Whitney asked earning her a look from her sister.
"Um...no. I was just going to go alone and sit with Jay and Denise."
"Why don't you take Shelby? John and I will be sitting with Stephanie, Hunter and Mike and his date anyway. Shelby would be bored to death."
"Uh...yeah okay. If she wanted to go with me. We could leave and got get dinner afterwards like we planned."
"Like you planned?" Whitney asked looking at Shelby.
"Yeah. Adam asked me to dinner. Sounds great. See you tonight." She said as she grabbed Whitney's arm and dragged her out of the booth.
John looked at Adam with sympathy. "Adam, I'm sorry about my wife. She tends to overdo things."
Adam laughed. "She's just a romantic and I don't mind. Because I'm interested in Shelby. She's great." He smiled at John. "And if Whitney wants to help bring us together, who am I to stop her."
John laughed. "Alright but you have been warned. If you let Whitney have her way, you and Shelby will end up engaged by the end of the weekend." Adam laughed.
Shelby stopped walking and let go of Whitney's arm. "Whit, what did we talk about last night?"
"You made a date with Adam?"
"So not the point."
"Do you like him?"
"We talked a little. He's a nice guy."
"So what's the problem? You go to the hall of fame ceremony, you go to dinner, you hang out with him. Not a big deal."
"Whitney, I love you but you have got to stop this match making. Not everyone wants to be set up. I'm happy with my life. I don't need a guy."
"I'm just trying to help. Adam likes you and I know you like him. It wouldn't hurt to get to know him more."
Shelby sighed. "If I agree to be his date for the ceremony and go to dinner, will you leave it alone?"
"Deal." Whitney smiled. "Now let's go shopping."
"Alright, alright. You win." Shelby said laughing.
The girls went out shopping and a few hours later, Adam and John stood in the lobby waiting for Whitney and Shelby. John looked at his watch for the third time and looked at the elevator doors as they opened and Shelby and Whitney came into view. John smiled at his wife as she walked out in her black dress. Her blonde hair was swept up in a soft bundle of waves and clasped at the back of her neck with a set of combs. He looked over at Adam who was still speechless as he looked at Shelby. She was wearing a purple dress and her dark hair was down in soft waves around her face.
"You look beautiful." John said kissing his wife. "Shelby, you look beautiful too."
"John's right." Adam said coming out of his trance. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you." Shelby smiled.
"Well let's head to the ceremony." John smiled offering his arm to his wife. They headed out to the awaiting car and were soon on their way.
