Gabriella and Dave found themselves out in one of the local clubs. Dave had been persuaded by some of his fellow co-workers in which he said yes thinking that Gabriella needed to get her mind off of one particular person. Gabriella was hesitant at first but after a couple of drinks and some much needed laughter she was actually enjoying herself.

"Come on Gabriella, dance with us." Trish Stratus pleaded. It was the first time that Gabriella had ever met her but it was like an instant click between them. Stacy Keibler, Lisa Marie Varon (a.k.a Victoria), and Amy Dumas were the other girls that had come out tonight. The guys included John Cena, Shelton Benjamin, Carlos Colon (a.k.a Carlito), there was somebody else that was supposed to meet them tonight but Gabriella didn't even take the time to hear who it was.

"Bella go…" Dave persisted. "have fun." Gabriella nodded her head and gave in. Before she knew it she found herself out on the dance floor with the rest of the girls. She hadn't known a time where she had girlfriends to hang out with. This was good. This was fun.

Dave watched on from the table. He had grown to love this woman so much over these past months. She was everything he had been looking for and more. He wasn't the type to enjoy a riff between friends but in this case he hated to say that he was. Why? Because he knew there was always that chance that he would have to let her go to be with Randy. Right now, for him that would be too impossible.

"Glad you finally decide to show up." Dave looked up hearing John's voice. Speaking of the devil. It was Randy. Dave took a swig of his beer as the guys greeted Randy. He watched Randy walk around the table taking the seat right across from him. Randy hadn't even acknowledged him yet or he was just purposely avoiding him. Which in this case Dave preferred he do so.

Randy could see Dave out of the corner of his eye. He didn't know if he should say hi or not. But decided against it, knowing it would only result in a heated tension. When he was invited to go tonight he didn't even think about Dave and Gabriella. Gabriella was here. He tried to not make himself too obvious as he scanned the club for her. Not until his eyes found the dance floor he spotted her with the rest of the girls enjoying themselves. She had a smile on her face. A smile he hadn't seen or enjoyed for a while. A smile was brought to his own face as he recalled the nights they used to go out and have fun together. No matter what they always managed to cheer each other up. Now they couldn't even speak one word to each other without exchanging harsh words. Randy sighed and got up deciding he needed something to drink.

Gabriella laughed as the girls found themselves in a train on the dance floor. Everyone grabbing on to one another. God, this was so much fun. And Dave…Dave he was such a sweet, caring man. What Randy used to be. Gabriella shook her head as his name popped into her head. She knew she loved Dave but yet Randy always found his way back into her thoughts. She needed to forget about him. He was never going to love her, so there was no point in believing so. Right here, right now it was time to move on. Move on from Randy Orton.

"Awesome a fight!" Gabriella heard a person shout. She turned in the direction he had spoken. Sure enough there was a crowd of people gathering around to catch a glimpse of the action. People were so immature. Her being one of them as she found herself being dragged by Trish and Amy. By the time they got there the fight was being broken up. And it was Dave and John who were breaking it up. Gabriella squinted to see who Dave was holding. "Randy?" She rushed through the crowd stopping as she come upon the two men.

"Dave, what happened?" Dave turned to see Gabriella standing there. Randy struggled to get free but he kept a tight grip on his arm. "Orton here had a few too many shots and got into a heated argument with that guy over there…" He nodded his head in the direction he was looking. "which resulted into a fist fight."

"Get the fuck off me Dave!" Randy shouted. Gabriella gave a disappointed look to Dave. "Randy, you need to calm down." She spoke softly as she tried to examine his face.

Randy's breathing calmed hearing her voice. That calming, sweet voice. "Bella?" He spoke her name. Gabriella nodded. "Yes, Randy it's me…" She held his face in her hands. "stay still so I can take a look at what happened." Randy slowly nodded and let Gabriella do what she asked of him.

Just then John rushed over to them. "Dave, the girls need a ride home but my car is already full…could you, you know…" John asked as hestared between Gabriella and Dave.

Gabriella nodded. "Go ahead Dave, we'll take a cab back to the hotel." She replied referring to her and Randy.

Dave simply nodded knowing that this wasn't the time for a disagreement. "See you back at the room then." He replied giving her a quick kiss on the lips. He gave a look to Randy before he followed John and the rest out of the club.

Randy twitched when Gabriella touched a cut on his lip. "I'll be fine Gabriella, go catch up with your boyfriend." Randy scowled.

Gabriella couldn't help but twinge hearing her full name come out of his mouth. Just a little while ago she had told herself to move on and yet sure enough here she was. "Randy, I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now…so co-operate with me so we can get back to the hotel." Randy answered with a grunt but soon got up and held on to Gabriella's arm as they too now made their way out.

X-x-x-X

After a few attempts to let Randy walk on his own Gabriella just grabbed his hand and half dragged him up to his hotel room. As soon as they did Randy passed out on the bed in result of the alcohol and exhaustion. Gabriella grabbed a couple of wash clothes from the bathroom, a first aid kit, and a water bottle from the mini bar.

"Randy, sit up." She ordered as she stood over his lifeless body. He moaned in response but did what he was told. His blue eyes just stared on as she cleaned up his wounds like a doctor would a patient. After all that was done she handed him the water and told him like she had every time that it would help clean out the alcohol consumed. This was not the first time being in this situation. "Hey, do you remember that one time I almost got into a fight with that guy?"

Gabriella came back out from the bathroom. "Randy, you really have to be more specific." She informed as she started to clean up the mess he had in his room. Never failed with him.

Randy snapped his fingers trying to remember. "His name was Eric…Eric Grossman from High School." He smiled to himself for remembering the name.

Gabriella picked up the final piece of clothing from the floor before speaking. "Mm Hmm, I remember him…and the reason you two didn't fight was because his older sister scared you so much that you ended up running away." She smirked at the memory.

Randy frowned remembering the result. "That was so not what happened." Gabriella just shook her head throwing his clothes into one big pile by the door. "Why do you do that?" Randy asked finally noticing what she was doing.

"Do what?" She asked back.

"Clean after me, when you know I hate it." He answered.

Gabriella stopped and turned to face him. "Because, other then your mom I'm the only one who will." She replied.

Randy stayed silent knowing she was right and for the sake of not wanting to get into another argument with her. He watched as she continued to pick up his room. He studied her movements. The way she did things. She paused to pull her hair up into a bun exposing just a little bit of her belly button ring. He had hated that thing when she first got it. Tattoos where more his forte. But right now as he stared at her, he couldn't help but find it attractive. He sighed in frustration wanting to know why all of a sudden that there was feelings for her. Why now? Why?

"Okay, I'm going to head out…" She announced once again grabbing Randy's attention. "I'll be back in the morning to bring you some aspirin and coffee for the hangover you'll have." She informed him as she threw him something comfortable to put on. "Good night Randy." She replied taking one last look around the room before heading back to her and Dave's own room leaving Randy in silence again.

Randy stared at the closed door for a while before finally getting himself ready for bed. Getting himself situated under the bed covers he turned off the light, letting himself stare into the darkness. Not too much longer did he find himself slipping into a deep sleep…much needed sleep.
