Sorry I haven't updated in ages, I had a bit of a writer's block. If you guys like the story and want me to continue it please review. Thanks enjoy
Candice and Dave had just gotten back from the ring and backstage to Candice's locker room. Both were still flushed and had such big grins on their faces, well Dave did at least. He looked to Candice and saw a look of doubt on her face, what happened? He thought to himself, he was sure he saw a big warm smile on her face as they walked backstage together, was kissing her a bad move? Should he have waited until she was ready to talk to him atleast? Did he ruin her moment just as she became the new Women's champion for the first time in her career? He knew what it was like being a world champion for the first time of his career, did he take that feeling away from her all because he wanted her to know how he felt about her?
His questions were soon answered when the reached Candice's locker room and walked inside. She looked at him and he had no idea how she felt at that moment, "Dave what was that out there?" Candice asked, as she put down her new championship belt. Dave sighed and answered her " Candice I'm sorry if I went the wrong way about it but trying to talk to you wasn't getting me anywhere. And I really had to let you know how I feel about you, I don't regret kissing you out there and showing you and the world that I want you." Dave stated. Candice sighed " Don't lie to me Dave, you obviously wanted to show me that you weren't interested in me, when you kissed Melina. And you knew how much she destroyed my life, I trusted you!" She told him. Dave stood up to her and held her hands gently, causing her to look in his chocolate brown eyes, she looked up at him frowning, she didn't want to think about him and Melina together. Dave started explaining "Candice please, trust me when I tell you. I came to RAW that night to see you," Candice looked curiously at him before he continued, " I got backstage of the arena and asked John where you would be, he told me where the diva's lockeroom was so I went there. You were still in your match and all the other divas were somewhere else and I waited by myself, then Melina came in and started saying all these things to try and seduce me. Then she kissed me and I didn't realise what was happening but when I did I pushed her off only to see a cameraman filming us. I knew that it would be on the screen outside and I had to explain it to you but you wouldn't let me. I didn't mean to hurt you Candice, this past month has given me a chance to know you and I know I want you." He finished his comforting words.
Candice looked up at him and walked away facing the other direction, suddenly it all made sense, she could see everything more clearly now "Candice, why did you think I was getting all those inconvenient trips to Raw aye?" He asked trying to bring up the mood a little. Candice just giggled, she had been so selfish and was more focussed on work that she was forgetting how to love again, thankfully Dave had stepped in and made her realise that. She thought about the feeling she had when she walked in her and her ex-fiancee's apartment, she knew her feeling was not one she wanted, and she refused to trust her feeling, only to be prove that her feeling was right. She was afraid it happened again when she was starting to fall for Dave, she thought history had repeated itself and she felt that she wasn't good enough. Dave saw that she was in deep thought he walked over to her, held her hands again and both looked into each others when Dave spoke his gentle, comforting words "I promise I won't hurt you and I'll protect you, if you let me. I know your scared, but you have to trust me, I'll make sure no-one hurts you or they'll have to go through me and I don't think that's something anybody wants to do." Dave joked, they both laughed as Candice looked up to see a big smile on his face, she couldn't help but smile too. " But seriously Candice ever since our match together, I just can't stop thinking about you. I've been having really strong feelings for you lately and judging by the way you've been acting with me lately its obvious that you feel the same way about me." Dave smiled knowingly, "Self esteem has never been a problem for you Dave Batista hasn't it?" Candice asked smirking at him. " Never Babe." He stated, causing them to laugh quietly again.
Dave held her hand and directed them to sit, " Just don't hurt me," Candice pouted. Dave looked at her with a hopeful look; "I'll make sure that if anyone comes close to hurting you, I'll make sure they're permeant living arrangements is in a hospital bed." Candice laughed at his statement, he really did care about her. She finally gave him an answer that he had wanted to know for weeks "Okay, I trust you Dave." His face went back to the big grin he had before; he leaned in closer and could see that she was doing the same. This was the moment they'd both been waiting for, they both could finally move on from being lonely and both have found each other. This is it, Candice thought. No more being alone on nights where the groups had all gone out together as couples, no more watching horror or chick flicks without someone beside to comfort and protect her and finally someone who could protect her if she ever got hurt physically or emotionally.
As their lips were only millimetres away from there second kiss there was a knock followed by excited squeals and high pitched screams on the opposite side of the closed door. Candice and Dave just looked at each other and giggled, Candice should have seen this coming, just as she was about to ignore the ecstatic chuckles of the female voices outside and give Dave the satisfaction of kissing him; she heard a female voice call out. "Come on Candice open the door, we want to see the news women's champ and OMG what happened with you and Batista. Open the door women!" Candice knew that voice belonged to none other than Mickey James, she looked at Dave and blushed in embarrassment, but what she heard next made her face go redder than red if that was even possible. "Now Mickey don't you go teasing Candice, after all she wouldn't want us to embarrassing her telling us what she really thinks of Dave." Candice knew her best friend too well and knew that she was trying to embarrass her. Meanwhile Maria was having too much fun with what was going on, she knew Candice was ignoring them on purpose and that Dave was in there with her. Knowing her best friend to well she knew exactly what to do to open the door and give attention to the impatient divas waiting to congratulate their friend.
"What was it that she said about him 'God I like to lick his damn fine abbs right off his'…" Candice rushed to the door, tripping over on the way but wanting desperately to make sure Maria didn't finish the sentence. "Guys! You're here," She said in her way welcoming the divas that were there to celebrate her victory. The divas included Maria, Mickey James, Layla, Kelly Kelly and Brooke, she smiled to each of them showing her appreciation that they were there, except Maria who she forcely shoved a quick 'your-so–dead' look to Maria's direction. Maria just poked her tongue out and smiled innocently and hugged Candice, "Congrats Candy I knew you could do it." "Thanks Ria, it means a lot." The divas chatted some more about Candice's new title reign and the match not even remembering that Dave was still in the room, he coughed gaining the girls attention " Well I can see you've got your hands full Candice so I'm gonna go and come back later." The divas could see he didn't want to leave and she didn't want him to leave either, Layla spoke up for the girls. "Alright alright then, girls I think is our cue to leave. They obviously want to be alone." Layla said winking to Candice, Candice sarcastically asked herself, why am I friends with these girls? All the girls said their goodbyes and said them to Dave as well, with Maria smirking to her saying on her way out, "Remember Candy you're always one to kiss and tell." Candice just smirked back closing the door with a bit more aggression.
Dave just smiled at the whole exchange between the divas but mostly at the friendship Maria and Candice shared. It reminded Dave about his own friendships in the WWE with other superstars such as Rey Mysterio, Triple H, John Cena, Ric Flair and though they were enemies on screen they were as Randy Orton liked to say they were "tight". Dave's thoughts were interrupted when he heard the door close with a bit of extra pressure, he turned around to see Candice Michelle standing with her hands behind her back as if she was guarding the door. He observed her body language she had a nervous smile on her face and she was slightly blushing, Candice was panicking inside, she couldn't think of anything to try and cover up the little situation she was in, she just opened her mouth and let any words come out. "Umm about what Maria said, don't listen to her she was dropped on her head when she was a baby, so she tends to mix up what other people are saying to her and just blurts out the wrong information." Candice simply gave a goofy smile, she wasn't convincing anyone here she was trying to convince herself though it would explain a lot of things about Maria, she laughed at her suggestion. Dave just laughed at her; she's so cute he thought he would have a little fun with what Candice had said about him. "So are my abbs the only thing you want to lick?" He winked at her at her and wanted to see how she would react to his question and got his answer as she just opened her mouth in shock and red had covered her face.
Candice was speechless, she just watched Dave slowly make his way over to her place his big strong arms around her tiny waist and they fit perfectly together. She looked up to him and saw that he was smiling back to her and once again they were both leaning in to one another, "No more interruptions." Dave said before he and Candice had their lips attached to one another once again. Their lips touched for the second time that night and it was as if they would never be able to leave if theirs lips left each other. Dave lifted one of his hands that had been previously around on Candice's waist only to have it placed caressing her soft cheeks first, then letting them run through her hair, just as she liked it. Candice just enjoyed how Dave was treating her, she had all these feelings in her stomach and she felt powerful, confidant and special, all from his touch. She had her hands around his neck as his lips left hers and found their way down her jaw line and she felt his lips kissing and admiring her neck, though she would have loved to have kept going she knew she wasn't ready to go that far with anyone yet, even Dave. She pulled away and saw that he was confused at her actions, "What too soon?" he said raising his eyebrows pretending to be shocked that he was turned down.
Batista may have looked pretty cocky on the outside, but when she pulled away he was worried that he hurt her or done something wrong, but his breath caught up with him when she answered. "Slow down boy, you've still got a lot of making up to do." Candice stated, but that didn't mean she didn't wanna stop their little make out session. She took her fragile hand and grabbed his large hand and directed him to sit and once again his lips found hers, which resulted in Dave nearly sucking her tongue off as she found herself sitting on his lap.
As the new couple just enjoyed what was happening between the two off them Candice's phone had started ringing startling both the animal and the former playboy cover girl. Candice immediately jumped off Dave's lap and stopped the ringing on who was calling her, her suspicions were confirmed when she saw the caller ID 'Aaron'. Realising now that Dave was still in the room and the fact that she was trying to hide this from him so he didn't worry, she came to her senses and attempted to go back to kissing him and forget what had just happened. Dave was so confused on what had just happened why was Candice so cautious of who was calling her. "So who was that?" he asked curiously but joked as he usually did "Another boyfriend?" Candice just ignored that statement/question, she didn't want him to worry about this, it's my problem I'll deal with it she thought. "Dave. Just do me a favour," she pouted. "Yeah babe." He responded she wrapped her hands around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist she said, "Shut Up". He chuckled as they sat down and kissed again. This is what Dave wanted at the moment, he'd find out what was up with Candice later, but right now he was having a great time just spending time with his girl – aka the new WWE Women's Champion; Candice Michelle.
