Chapter Seven: Not A Good Day

Lauren's eyes widened as a familiar face came into the elevator with her. "Uh, hello Snitsky," Lauren smiled nervously. Snitsky had that sick smile on his face, as he started to walk into the elevator.

"Well, hello there, Vixen. My you look lovely this morning," he hissed. "Now, where were we last time we met?" he asked as he put both hands flat against the wall behind Lauren, trapping her between his arms. "After all, you were asleep last time I saw you," he smirked evilly. Lauren gasped as she realized it was him in her hotel room last night.

"Sorry to interrupt this little reunion," someone stated behind Snitsky. He turned to come face to face with all three members of Evolution. "But I believe Snitsky, that you were just leaving," HHH stated. Snitsky huffed and puffed, but eventually pushed his way out of the elevator. "You all right?" HHH asked Lauren.

"Yeah. Thanks guys," she smiled.

"I told you hon, it gets dangerous when you hang with Evolution," HHH stated while putting on his sunglasses.

Lauren knew she had to put on the Vixen act again. She moved in front of him and lifted his sunglasses up to reveal his eyes, with a smirk on her face. "And like I told you, Champ. I don't have to worry with you guys looking out for me. I mean did you see his face when he saw you three protecting your little Vixen?" she asked slyly.

HHH just smirked and put his sunglasses back over his eyes. "I like your attitude kid. Come on, let's head out to breakfast." HHH actually linked arms with Lauren as they walked outside to the limo. HHH held the door open for her and slid in after her. Once Batista and Flair were in, they headed off to breakfast. "All right everybody, where are we going?" HHH asked.

"How about we just head to McDonald's or something," Batista suggested. Everyone agreed and headed to the closest McDonald's. Everyone got a McMuffin with coffee or water. They all started getting more acquainted and swapped stories. Lauren had a mouth full of McMuffin and tried not to laugh at HHH's impression of Randy Orton. "Better be careful, H. You wouldn't want our newest member to choke to death would ya?" Batista laughed. Which got him a slap on the arm from a laughing Lauren. She tried to stop as she got a drink of water to clear her throat.

"Oh god. You almost killed me!" Lauren laughed fake hitting Batista some more. Batista finally caught her hands and twisted them so her back was up against his chest, and her arms were cris-crossed over her chest. "That's not fair!" she cried out laughing.

"Who said we were playing fair?" Batista replied.

"Okay love birds, let's go!" Flair called out to them. They all got out of the limo to find themselves at a photo shoot.

"No one told me we were going to a photo shoot!" Lauren panicked, stopping where she was.

"So?" HHH asked as he continued walking in. Lauren stood there shaking.

"I didn't even get dressed for it! I didn't bring any makeup! I didn't-" Lauren stopped when a large shadow loomed over her. Which happened to belong to Batista.

"Come on," he said and flung her over her shoulder. He ignored her cries and demands to let her go as he brought her in and literally handed her over to the makeup artists.

About a half-hour later, HHH and the others were out in their wrestling gear ready for the shoot. They waited for Lauren to come out so they could get this knocked out. When she came out, they were breathless. She was wearing an Evolution tank top, a red skirt, and boots that almost reached her knees. Her hair was a little straighter and so it bounced a little with every step. With a little bit of makeup, they really noticed her eyes.

"What?" she asked them, wondering if she spilled something on her outfit.

"Are we ready?" the photographer asked rather impatiently. He led Lauren in between HHH and Batista, with Flair on HHH's left side. Lauren had her arms wrapped behind both HHH and Batista, while they both wrapped their arms around her slim waist. Lauren hoped the camera wouldn't catch her blushing with the thought of Batista holding her around the waist. His arm fit perfectly around her waist, and he wasn't holding her too tightly. She didn't know why it made her blush so badly, but she had to deal with it as they all posed for the camera. After about five different shots and poses, the camera seemed like he had just been claimed brilliant. "All right, Batista and H, lift Vixen onto your shoulders. Vixen? Give the sexiest smirk you can okay?"

"Uh..." Before Lauren could say anything, Batista had already lifted her onto his shoulder. HHH joined him but groaned underneath her.

"Wow, you could stand to lose a few pounds there, Vixen," HHH chuckled. Lauren tried hard to keep her smirk on her for the camera, when in her head all she was doing thinking about what HHH said. Once the shoot was over, Lauren practically jumped down from their shoulders and stormed off towards her dressing room. She ignored Batista calling out to her. As soon as the door was closed, she looked at her body in the mirror.

"Am I really that heavy?" she wondered. Lauren quickly changed back into her clothes from before and stormed out of there. "Tell them I left already," she told the photographer angrily and charged right out the door. Lauren didn't even know where she was going, and she didn't care. Her tears were stinging her eyes even as they fell down her cheeks. She had probably gotten about a block away when she heard someone calling out to her. Lauren took a quick look to see that it was Batista. She didn't want him to see her like this and kept walking, only faster then before.

"Lauren wait!" Batista called out louder. She could tell he was running towards her, since his voice was getting louder, faster. Lauren just kept trying to walk faster without actually running. However, she couldn't get away from the Animal, Batista. "Lauren," Batista said finally and caught her arm. "Where are you going? We were gonna-"

"I'm just going for a walk. I'll see you later," Lauren said a bit angrily.

"Now wait a minute," Batista said as he caught her arm again and turned her to face him. "What's wrong? Why did you just run out on us like that?" he asked. Lauren just looked away from him. Until he placed a finger under her chin and tilted her face upwards. "You can tell me." Lauren practically melted in his eyes, but looked away all the same.

"Tell me the truth Batista," she said. "Do you think I'm–you know..." Lauren trailed off, unable to finish.

"You're what? Hold on a second! You're not actually thinking about what HHH said back there are you?" Batista said like it was the craziest thing in the world. When Lauren didn't answer him, he spun her around into his chest and kept his arms around her to keep her from going away again. "Now you listen, and you listen good, kid," he smirked. "You are beautiful, so don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. All right?" Lauren was still overcoming the shock of Batista calling her beautiful. "All right?" he asked again. Lauren just rolled her eyes and nodded. "Keep up that attitude and see where it gets ya," Batista smirked. Just then a big boom of thunder crashed.

"Oh great. There's only one thing to do when there's a storm," Lauren stated slyly. She motioned Batista to bend down so she could whisper something in his ear. "You're it!" she poked him in the chest and ran off as the rain started pouring down.

"Get back here!" Batista called out and ran after her.

"Nothin' like a good game of 'Rainstorm Tag'" Lauren thought to herself, with a smile now on her face again.

A/N: All right, now no one can tell me that this chapter was kind of random! Sorry, but I'm still building up for later chapters. And if you're still waiting for some more Lauren/Batista action, it's coming up next chapter. But I'm gonna need A LOT of reviews to inspire me ;). But thanks to all who has reviewed so far.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the wrestlers or characters except for Lauren. It's so unfair though. Oh well :)
