Chapter 7

Melanie laughed so hard that her sides ached as she watched Stephanie cover her mouth and double over with laughter while Sasha entertained them with her spot on impressions of Charlotte, and her minion Dana Brookes. Sasha was ready to launch into another round of impressions when she spotted the waitress approach out of the corner of her eye with their 3 drinks, 2 lemon drops for Sasha and Stephanie, and 1 glass of lemon water for the designated driver Melanie, who had called it quits on the alcohol 5 rounds ago. She wiped her eyes and watched as Sasha told the waitress to keep their drinks coming; she felt her phone vibrate and took a quick peek. It was Paulie, she had text him the minute she had stopped drinking to let him know that since Steph was showing 0 signs of slowing down on the alcohol anytime soon, he was probably going to have to come and pick her up once they were done.

Paulie: Guess who's getting lucky tonight? THIS GUY IS! I love it when you and Steph go hang out she always comes back home tipsy and frisky.

Melanie scrunched up her face.

Mel: TMI Paulie, she is my best friend I don't want to hear about your sexual escapades.

Paulie: You just make sure that she doesn't get too wasted or else she will pass out before we have a chance to have any sexy time.

Mel: What about too much information didn't you understand? I will text you 20 minutes before we get ready to leave so you can have your horny ass here to pick up your wife.

Melanie didn't have a chance to put her phone back into her purse before Stephanie gave her a sly smirk.

"Who would you be texting Melly? Would it happen to be a certain 6 foot Samoan?"

Melanie's head shot up "No, why would I be texting Roman? I don't even have his phone number"

Sasha pulled out her cell phone and wiggled her eyebrows in Melanie's direction "I can fix that for you."

Melanie ignored that comment completely as she continued to look at Stephanie.

"Oh I don't know maybe because I saw the way you two were looking at each other at the arena and if I'm not mistaken - which I highly doubt I am" she said as she held up one finger before continuing "You and Roman are attracted to each other." She smiled brightly at Melanie who immediately went into defense mode.

"What? No! I don't know what you are talking about! I barely even know him."

Melanie looked over at Sasha for assistance but this time the tables were turned as Sasha decided to ignore her silent plea for help and simply place her elbows on the table to prop her face in her hands. Melanie rolled her eyes and made a mental note to herself to get some friends that weren't so damn petty.

Stephanie laughed as she watched Sasha silently shut Melanie down "I have known you long enough to know when you think someone is attractive. Hell between Sasha and I, I think we know you better than you know yourself."

"Say that Steph!" Sasha added as she tossed back her lemon drop.

Melanie shot daggers at Sasha before turning back to Stephanie; she was trying to figure out a way to end this conversation before it got out of hand. "Like I said, I barely even know him."

"Didn't stop you two from staring at each other non stop tonight" Sasha said as she looked around for their waitress. Melanie kicked her hard under the table.

"Ouch what did you do that for!?" she whined as she slid her chair back from the table and rubbed her wounded shin.

"I did it because you don't know when to talk, and when to just shut the hell up" she hissed.

Stephanie laughed again "Okay no more fighting I know how to get to the bottom of this."

Melanie cut her eyes "You wouldn't dare..."

"I would and I am! I'm calling a moment of truth"

"Awww Steph come on!" Melanie said as she threw her head back in annoyance as Sasha just laughed before replying

"That's what you get jerk face lets see you get out of this now!"

The moment of truth had been Melanie and Stephanie's thing since they were children. When one of them called a moment of truth the other person had to answer the question honestly. It was a matter of Integrity. They stuck by this simple rule their entire life it is sometimes how they got through difficult conversations especially since a moment of truth couldn't be held against you. They tried to use these moments for conversations that were really important so for Steph to be using it for this it must have been something that she really wanted to know.

"You both are pains in my ass"

"I don't care what you call us now spill it Melly" Steph said as she downed her own lemon drop.

"Ugh I hate you both" Melanie seethed as she looked off in the distance trying to figure out what to say. She finally sat up and looked at both of her friends.

"I think he is a very nice guy" there was silence as Steph and Sasha exchanged knowing glances they both knew they just needed to wait it out now.

"I seriously need to get new friends" Melanie mumbled "Fine...I find him to be the sexiest man I think I have ever met OK" she said as she crossed her arms and sank back into her chair.

Sasha and Steph both smiled "See now that wasn't so hard now was it?" Steph said as Melanie glared at her.

"Do you see yourself having a relationship with him?" Sasha asked as she took a well needed sip of her water.

"Don't you think it is a little too early for me to be fantasizing about a relationship with this man? I just met him all I know is first impressions which is that he seems like a nice guy, seems like a loving father and is possibly the sexiest man I have ever laid eyes on" At this point I too was looking around for the waitress, I needed a drink stat! And it damn sure wasn't going to be water.

Sasha clasped her hands together while Stephanie squealed in delight. Before reaching over to grab Melanie's hand telling her.

"Oh Mel he is such a good dad, he loves his daughter so much and will do anything for her." Stephanie said

"And I can vouch for how great of a person he is, Seth trusts him more than anybody, well it's a tie between him and Dean but we don't hang with Dean as much since we are on Raw" she rambled "but yeah he is so trustworthy, and kind, and sweet, and -" Melanie put her hand up to stop her

"You clearly didn't listen to everything that I said he may very well be a great guy and all of those other things that you just said but I am not interested. At least not right now anyway okay so please no more pushing about Roman."

Sasha and Stephanie exchanged a look but didn't push it any further they knew when they needed to stop. So they changed the subject and continued to laugh and drink for another hour before Melanie called it a night for everyone calling Hunter to come and pick up a slurring Stephanie and walking a stumbling Sasha slowly out of the bar and to the car.

It took her 30 minutes to walk Sasha from the car to the hotel room. It wasn't that it was a long distance by any means it was that Sasha wanted to stop and look at everything along the way. When they got to the lobby Sasha decided she wanted to sit down on the chair, then she decided she wanted to sleep in the chair. Melanie cursed to herself how in the hell did a night out celebrating her turn into her having to babysit her drunk ass friends. She finally had enough and bent down and threw Sasha's limp body over her shoulder making sure to pull the back of Sasha's dress down so that she didn't show all of her goodies. She made it into the elevator and pressed her room floor 5 she waited for the doors to close and just as they were about to shut a large hand stuck itself into the middle of the doors forcing it open. She stood there slightly annoyed until she saw who the hand belonged to. She looked up into the face of Roman he had a troubled look on his face when the elevator opened but as soon as he saw Sasha slung over Melanie's shoulder like a rag doll his face immediately lit up as he began to chuckle.

"You find this amusing?" she said as she stared at him blankly feeling mildly annoyed.

"Oh absolutely" he snickered

"Well that makes one of us" she replied as she stared at the elevator doors as they finally closed.

"What the hell happened?" he asked as he continued to stare in amusement.

"Well someone decided it was a great idea to drink the equivalent of her body weight in alcohol, which left yours truly as the babysitter for the night."

Roman stopped laughing "Wait she got drunk in front of Stephanie?"

This time it was Melanie's turn to laugh "More like she got drunk with Stephanie" she said as she watched Roman's eyes get large before he burst into laughter.

"No way Stephanie got drunk?"

Melanie flashed him a smile before nodding her head.

When the elevator stopped on the 5th floor he stepped out with them, then as if just finding his manners he asked

"Umm do you want me to carry her the rest of the way for you?"

Melanie paused contemplating the gesture "Actually yes it's not like she weighs a lot but at the moment she is dead weight and in these shoes" she said as she flexed her left foot "I just can't" she said in a semi whine at the end as she dropped her head making Roman smile at how adorably irresistible she looked at this very moment. Melanie transferred Sasha to Romans shoulder again pulling the back of her dress down to hide her goods before turning to head to her room. They stopped in front of 585 and she grabbed the key from her purse opening the door. Roman walked in and laid Sasha gently on the bed closest to the bathroom. He stood there silently as she removed Sasha's shoes and put her legs under the cover before pulling the covers up to her waist. She then sat on her own bed and removed her own shoes whimpering slightly as she did so.

She looked up when she heard Roman's soft laughter from the doorway.

"Why do women do that?" he asked

"Do what?"

"Wear shoes that you know are going to hurt after a couple of hours?"

"Well I can't speak for women as a whole but I personally did it because I looked smoking hot in them...Duh!" she said as she shook her head from side to side.

He chuckled but couldn't help but agree that she had looked smoking hot, but he was pretty sure that at this point she could wear a paper bag and still look hot. She looked up at him at that very moment and he shifted nervously before blurting out

"Will you take a walk with me?"

Melanie turned and looked at the clock on the nightstand it was already 3:00am but she wasn't tired enough to go to sleep so she slid her feet into a pair of flip flops, grabbed her purse, shoved her room key in her pocket and made sure she placed a bottle of water on the nightstand next to Sasha along with a garbage can before telling Roman to lead the way.
