Ch. 10: All Without an Actual Plan
-Lauryyin's POV-
Summer's here, and it's awesome. Skimpy bathing suits and swimming pools. Awesome. I have an awesomely large swimming pool in my backyard. Courtesy of my not-so-dear ol' dad. He and my mom built this house from scratch. Yes, my mom. She was really into that type of stuff. She liked to work with her hands. Actually, she taught my dad a lot of the carpentering skills he uses now. Ugh, lets get off of him. Haven't heard from him since I was twelve and I don't care.
For some reason, I always have a house full of wrestlers on my off days. Today's no different. Mi primos, Chavito and Eduardo are here. Along with my boyfriend. Surprisingly, Eddie's been really cool with seeing us together. Aimes is here, so that means no one from the Hardy's crew is here. Not even Shan. I guess it's gonna take some time. Wounds like that take a long time to heal.
-Mark's POV-
"You gonna do what, boy?" I questioned Jeff. "I said, we gon' get that chick he was wit at the store. I know her. She friends wit my ex. I got her number." He explained.
"What exactly is this chick gonna do? Cause if she go up to Fuego talkin' about Dave cheatin' with her, she gon' get her ass kicked. I promise ya that." I chuckled at that. Fuego would eat the little blonde's ass. Tear her down.
"No, man. She gon surprise Dave in Houston tomorrow. We get Lori ta want ta surprise him, too. Lori walk in, see them two kissin' or some shit, and then it'll all be over." Jeff said with a smile as if it was the best idea in the world. "First off, hell no. I was in it, but now I'm out of it. It's too planned. And Dave might know somethin's up if that same chick he was messin' with in NC shows up in Houston."
Jeff nodded. "Damn, ya right. Back ta the drawin' board." He sighed. "You know what, why don't we just wait it out. I mean, she's bound to catch him one day." I said. As much as I would love for her to find out the truth about that dog, I don't want her to be forced to find out. It's not right. We're still trying to control her if we do that.
Here's the dilemma. As much as it hurts me to see this girl with another guy, it hurts more knowing that I don't have a chance with her.
-Lauryyin's POV-
"Miela, you really need to cover up." Eddie laughed as he draped a towel over my body. I was laying on one of our lawn chairs. I have on a bikini. It's not necessarily revealing. It actually leaves a little to the imagination. "Hey, I'm hot. So I'm gonna show it off." I laughed at Eddie's frown.
"Hey babe, I'm gonna head out. I know I'll get killed if I ask to stay here." Dave said as he helped me out of the chair. "Yeah, you're probably right." I chuckled as we walked hand in hand to his rental car in the front. "Although I wouldn't mind you staying." I seductively said as he pushed me into the car door. "Really, now?" He smirked that seductive little smirk of his. "Yeah, really." I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his face to mine.
"PDA, man. PDA." I heard someone chuckle. Dave quickly stepped back. "Ugh, Matt? Where the hell did you come from?" I asked. "Now, ya know that wherever there's a party, Matthew's gon be close by." He laughed. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. Dave, I'll talk to you tomorrow." I said as I watched him get into his car. Before he closed the door, he handed me a room key card. "Incase you get lonely." He smirked as he closed the door.
I have to admit, he's tempting the hell out of me. I like so want him. "You gon go ta his room tonight?" Matt nosily asked as we headed back into the backyard. "No. And it ain't none of your business, Hardy." I rolled my eyes. "Uh, yea it is. Cause I'm gon be the one yo ass ask ta drive ya there, dammit." He said. We both laughed. "Okay, that's true. But I'm not going nowhere but my room tonight." I said as I yawned.
Alright, today's show is being taped in Houston. Close to home, that's always good. Eddie's back with SD along with Chavito and Randy. All I got is CJ, Lantern, and Aimes here with me. The Deadman's here too, on account of him having time off and this being his hometown. Us country asses stick together.
I had a pretty fun bra and panties match earlier. Vince's Devils just crack me up. I beat Victoria.
-Mark's POV-
I'm backstage today with the Raw crew. Got a few guys back here that asked for my help. I just finished watching Fuego's bra and panties match. Damn. That's it. That was by far one of the most interesting matches I've seen in a while. Lisa only got Fuego's top off, but that was enough. I was sold. That kid has a hell of a body.
"Good match, kid." I complimented her as she headed to catering. She lives in catering. "Thanks, but most people weren't paying attention to my wrestling skills in that match." She chuckled as she grabbed a chair and sat down.
"You know, you're probably right." I chuckled. She is very much right. I wasn't paying too much attention to her wrestling skills either. I was distracted by those two half-exposed bouncing bumps on her chest. Ha!
We talked until the show was over. She said she was gonna stay the night with one of her high school friends that lived in Houston. I was happy, as long as it wasn't Dave.
-Lauryyin's POV-
I told Mark that I would be going to my friend's house tonight, but I lied. I'm headed to Dave's hotel. He's not expecting me or anything. I'm gonna surprise him. I don't know why, but I think I'm gonna go all the way with him. I mean, I am grown. And I'm responsible. I think he really cares for me. He's told me that many times.
I asked Amy to drive me. "See you later Aimes. Thanks." I said before I got out of her car. "See ya. And don't forget to use protection." She teased as she started up her car. I laughed.
Room number 217. That number will forever be imprinted in my mind. I wore a nice knee length black dress with a pair of black stilettos. I let my naturally curly shoulder length brunette hair flow freely. I slowly put the key card in the slot. When it clicked, I slowly opened the door.
The lights were off, so I figured he was sleep. Then I heard a noise. A strange noise. My hand quickly searched the wall to find the light switch. When it cut on, I nearly had a heart attack.
"The hell? Seriously? Estas muerto! " I screamed as tears formed in my eyes. There he was, half naked, tonguing some bleach blonde. When I spoke, he quickly jumped off of the girl. "Dave, what the hell is going on?" The blonde yelled at a baffled Dave.
"Lauryyin, wait. I can seriously explain." He started. "Explain, yeah. That's your sister, right?" I screamed as I got my phone from my purse. I called the first person who came to my mind. Mark. I don't know why, but he was.
-Mark's POV-
"I'm so sorry to wake you up, but can you come get me." Lauryyin sobbed into the phone. "Yeah, girl. Where are you? What's goin' on?" I asked.
"Look, all I can say is that you and Eddie were right. Hell, even Jeff was right. I just wanna get away from him. Before I do something I regret. I'm at the Marriot." Her voice quickly changed from sad to pissed when she spoke. "Damn, kid. I'm on my way."
-Lauryyin's POV-
"I don't know why you shaking so much, girl. I'm not gonna hurt you. It's not your fault." I growled at the shivering bitch on the bed. "Look, can I explain?" Dave asked sweetly. "Fuck you, bastard! You know, if I could, I would kill you. Not only did you lie and cheat, you had me looking like a dumb ass fool around the people who were telling me you were no good!" I screamed as hot angry tears fell from my face.
"Lauryyin-" Is he serious? "Don't you fucking call my name! Don't. I trusted your ass. I really did. Do you know that I was willing to give myself to you? I thought you were real!" I was filled with so much rage, I dropped my purse and ran into him.
I know I couldn't do too much damage, but I don't care. I scratched the hell out of him, not to mention the few actual punches I got in before someone pulled me away. I thought it was Mark, but it was Chris. "Kid, what's going on?" He said as he took me outside the hotel. Dave's door was open the whole time and I guess I had caused a big scene.
"Everybody was right. Every-fucking-body was right! Since I wasn't giving him what he wanted, he was getting it from others. How dumb can I get?" I sobbed into his shoulder. Chris's short. "You're not dumb. We know you're not. You just don't know guys like us. We are guys, we know how we work." He said.
"Like perros." I growled. "Not all of us are dogs, just the majority of us." He replied. He was trying to make me feel better, but it seriously isn't working. "Come on, Yas. You don't need to be crying over this guy. Don't give him the satisfaction of it. You're better than that." He whispered into my ear. I know this is making him upset. He hates to see women cry.
"What the hell is goin' on?" That deep drawl came from behind me. Chris let me go and I ran straight into his arms.
-Mark's POV-
"You were right. He cheated." She sobbed into my chest. "Fuck, Fuego. I didn't want it to be true." I said as I gently rubbed my hand up and down her back. Isn't it ironic that she caught him in the hotel like Hardy had planned? I guess it was just meant to be.
"Where's Irvine?" I asked as I looked around for him. "He's not behind me?" She asked as she jumped out of my arms. "Por amor de dios, Chris! Come on." She growled as she grabbed my hand and headed inside.
I guess we walked to Dave's room. She knocked on the door. When it opened, she practically pushed him down. She still had my hand, so I followed. "Was Chris here?" She growled at Dave. You can clearly see the hatred in her eyes. Dave didn't speak, he just shook his head no. "Fuck!" she yelled as she began to walk out of the room. She let go of my hand and I stayed in the room.
I was about to close the door, but Fuego stopped me. "Look, this is my problem. Don't do anything stupid, okay?" She sweetly asked with a weak smile. Damn, she melts me. "I'm not gonna do anything stupid. I'm just gonna talk to him. Don't worry." She sighed and let me close the door.
When I turned around, my face went from sweet and sympathetic, to full on Taker. "Look, I ain't here ta hurt your ass, so don't be gettin' all scared. Yeah, ya fucked up, but I need ya ta apologize to me." I growled as I stared him down. "Apologize, for what?" He asked, seriously confused. I chuckled. "For lyin' ta me. You said ya wasn't runnin' around on her. That girl out there is one of the most sweetest and lovin' people I know. And I let ya ass off for her sake. Now, I'm telling' ya just watch ya back." I scowled at him.
He made me chuckle again with the look on his face. "Are you threatening me?" He asked as he stood up. "Not at all. It's not a threat, boy. It's a fucking promise." He still had that look of fear in his eyes.
Before anything else could go on, Fuego had came back in. "That's enough." She said as she grabbed my hand. We didn't even get to the door good when Irvine came barging his short ass in. You can tell he was pissed. Pissed the fuck off, to be exact.
"I backed your ass up! I defended your ass. I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I argued with Eddie and Mark over you. Do you know what a risk that shit was? That's my fucking godchild! You hear that, my fucking godchild! You've been lying to all of us, not just her! You sniveling ingrate! And you wanted my sympathy because her family didn't like you with her!" Damn, was Chris steaming.
I was about to pull him away, because he was practically pressing against Dave. "No, don't. He's not gonna hit him. Just let him get some of the steam off." She said as she rested her head in my chest.
"Dammit man! Did you even think of her while you were doing this? She didn't deserve this shit, at all. I mean sure I've heard locker room talk about you doing this, but I figured it was just rumors. And now to find out this shit is true. I guess that saying is true, once a cheater, always a cheater. You're dead to me. Wait until Eddie gets in tomorrow morning." Chris growled.
After Chris stormed out of the room mumbling, we started to leave, too. A very defeated and sad looking Dave whispered one more thing. "Lauryyin, I really care for you. I'm sorry." Her only response was her middle finger in the air as we walked out of the room.
When we got to the lobby, we found Chris, Amy, and Helms. "Thanks for coming. I really didn't mean to wake you up or anything. You were just the first person who popped in my head. I'm sorry." She weakly smiled. "No problem, darlin'. I'm glad ya called me." I smiled back. "Well, goodnight. I'm gonna stay with Aimes tonight."
"You sure you gonna be alright?" I asked with a hand placed on her shoulder. "Relax. I've got enough people pulling their hair out over me. Your hair's too pretty to be pulled out, okay. I'm gonna be fine." She smiled a little more. That one actually looked happy, even though I know she's hurting inside. "Okay. I'm calling you tomorrow to check on you."
"Nah, you're gonna see me. I'm going to SmackDown this week with Eddie. I'm probably gonna get drafted to SmackDown next week anyway. I hope not, cause that bastard's gonna be there." She sighed. The venom in her voice when she refers to Dave is a major turn-on. I don't know why at all. It just is.
-Lauryyin's POV-
"You okay, sweetie?" Chris asked as he pulled me into a hug. "I feel like a damn fool, Chris. I'm such an idiot. The signs were in my fucking face." I felt the tears start back. "Uh-uh. No tears. None. Don't cry over that piece of trash." Shane growled. "Shane and Chris are right. He just made the biggest mistake of his life, girl." Amy said.
I really appreciate all this support, but I just want to cry. No matter what they say. "Alright, kiddo. I'll see ya in the morning. No more tears, okay. Love ya." Chris said as he gave me one last hug before I left with Amy. I gave Shane a hug and told him not to worry and we were out of the door.
When we got to Amy's hotel room, the tears started up again. I sat on one of the beds and just let them flow. "Don't tell me not to cry. I can't help it." I screamed. Can't help the screaming, I'm frustrated as hell. Amy sat beside me and pulled me into her arms. "I know. Sometimes, you just have to cry. No matter what anyone says. I'm here for you."
I kept her up half of the night with my tears. When I did end up going to sleep, I was awakened by Eddie. "Miela, come on. We gotta go." he said. We got a plane to catch. Eddie's gonna be late cause he made a trip here to get me. Good thing I was packed up.
After I said goodbye to everybody, and thanked them for their care, we were off. We're in the car now. "We need to talk about this." He began. I knew this was coming. "Yeah, I know." I sighed. "Now, Chris told me that you were blaming yourself." He said. "Well, it is my fault. I mean, you told me countless times that he was no good. I didn't listen."
"Did you tell him to go and cheat with a bunch of willing ring rats? Hell no. So it's not your fault. You're not dumb and you're not stupid. And I don't want to hear you say that. You're so much better than that. There's plenty of decent guys out there, miela. One of 'em's for you."
I smiled. He's a miracle worker, that cousin of mine. "Thank you Eddie. I actually feel a little better." I said. I leaned over to him and gave him a big kiss on his cheek. "Ah, I get all the love." He laughed, which made me laugh.
We're in Oklahoma City now. SmackDown taping. Everyone's checked on me today. I think that's so sweet. I pretty much avoided everyone but Rey, Randy, and Chavo here on SmackDown. Those three were ready to jump Dave.
I stayed in the men's locker room the whole show. Chavito stayed with me the whole time. He's supposed to be on Raw, but this week, he's on SD!. I didn't even tell my sisters, but I'm pretty sure they heard something. Or Eddie, Chavito, or Chris has filled them in already. I hope they did, cause I'm not for explaining this whole thing to them.
