Chapter 6
Dave stood in the middle of the ring holding the Heavy Weight Championship belt over his head. He hit all 4 corners as the fans in the Staples Center in LA went complete crazy. The WrestleMania 21 sign shining bright over his head.
Marisol watched as her heart soared for her husband. She could feel the tears sliding down her cheeks as she witness the priceless moment. Stephanie threw her arm around Marisol's shoulders and said, "You're not supposed to be crying honey…You're supposed to be happy for him."
Marisol threw a smile towards her friend and said, "I am happy for him…Believe me." Paul had come back and Marisol had already hugged him…she was just waiting for Dave. She walked back and was delivering a few scripts for the following evening for Monday Night Raw.
Once Marisol finished…she smiled softly as she knocked on the door marked 'Batista'…From the other side of the door Dave's voice said, "C'mon in." Marisol opened the door and stepped inside and closed the door behind her.
Dave hadn't even showered yet and was still covered in sweat. He was standing in front of the chair staring down at his belt…The guys in the back had already screwed his name plate onto the belt. Dave looked up from the belt only to stare back at the face of his loving wife…Whom he could tell had been crying.
Marisol couldn't even say anything to him…He smiled his strong smile for her and she crumbled as she walked over and threw her arms around his neck and he dropped the belt on the chair as he wrapped his arms around her. She buried her face in the side of his neck and he felt her crying again. Dave rubbed her back as he tried to calm her.
Marisol said, "I'm so proud of you…I couldn't possibly be any more proud of you. I knew what was going to happen…but I didn't realize I was going to feel so strongly about it…I'm so happy for you right now." Dave said, "C'mon Mari, calm down baby…I know how you feel…I feel the same exact way…but you know I can't take you crying like this baby."
Marisol looked up at him and said, "I'm sorry…I don't mean to cry honest…I just can't get all my feeling out." Dave said, "It's okay baby…I just don't want you to lean against me too much or you're gonna stink…I haven't showered yet." Marisol giggled as she tightened her arms around her husband and said, "I don't care. You could be drenched in sweat and it wouldn't bother me a bit."
Dave smirked down at his wife and said, "I'll have to remember that some time." Marisol blushed a little and said, "You do that."
Dave said, "By the way…I still haven't made it to the house so we could talk…is there any way I can convince you to come see me?" Marisol smiled softly and said, "Sure…I just figured you've been busy…That's why I haven't pressed the issue…When should I come?"
Dave thought about it and said, "Just pick a day and come over…You don't have to call or anything…just show up." Marisol nodded her head in agreement…She leaned up and brushed his lips with a soft kiss and said, "I'll see ya then champ."
Dave didn't miss the wink as she turned and left the room. He couldn't wait to talk with her…He was really ready to come home considering he never wanted to leave in the first place…He'd been living in that apartment for 4 months now and it was EXTREMELY lonely without the one person he loved more than life itself…his wife.
