The threesome had returned to the hotel short after Rebecca had showed up. Gabriella showed Rebecca up to her room but let her alone to unpack and get situated. They had planned a night out on the town. Both Dave and Gabriella were hesitant at first knowing they had to catch a plane the next day but after some persuasion they agreed. They had chosen to go to dinner first and then hit one of the local clubs for the rest of the night. Although was still a little hesitant, she knew she needed this night out.

"Do you know what you're wearing?" Dave asked as he searched through his own suitcase.

Gabriella shrugged her shoulders and flopped on the nicely made bed. "I'll find something…plus I really don't feel like searching right now."

Dave threw the shirt he had in his hand back into the suitcase to join Gabriella on the bed. "If you don't want to go…just call her."

Gabriella shook her head. "No, I do want to go…it's just that Rebecca…" Gabriella couldn't finish.

Dave stared on. "What about her?"

Gabriella smiled as she turned to Dave. "She told me she met somebody today…but she wouldn't tell me who it was…I don't know it just seemed weird."

Dave looked down at Gabriella as she played with the strands of her long locks. "Did she give a reason as to why she didn't want to tell you?"

"Well, I guess she had to talk to him first…I'm guessing to see if he'll be joining us tonight…" Gabriella ignored the feeling in her stomach. Why was it bugging her so much?

Dave traced his hands over her neck. "Oh, thank god…I thought I was going to have to be stuck with two woman tonight." He joked as smiled spread across his face.

Gabriella looked at him as she rolled her eyes. "Please, I know how you men think…two woman is every guys fantasy."

Dave looked at her as if he was shocked. "Bella…how dare you think like that…naughty…very naughty…although it would be quite interesting to see." He quirked an eyebrow.

Gabriella sighed and slapped him playfully on the arm. "You better stop…or you might not even get this woman." She pointed to herself.

Dave propped himself so that he was somewhat on top of her. "Oh, I'll get you…because I know you can't resist me."

Gabriella closed her eyes as his lips found her neck. He was right. She couldn't resist him. But the same went for him too. "No, I can't…but you'll have to until tonight."

Dave frowned when she pushed him away. She pouted and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "You can do it big man…" She made sure to rub his inner thigh as she spoke. "Just be strong." She added into his ear receiving a frustrated grown.

"I'm going to start getting ready…you should too." Gabriella suggested back to her normal tone.

Dave just grunted as he got off the bed. Going back to his suitcase to search for something to wear. Gabriella leaned down to kiss his forehead before heading over to her own suitcase and frowned knowing she had to do some searching.

Randy had been staring at the paper with Rebecca's number on it for what seemed like forever. He didn't know why he was so hesitant about it. He was one to usually jump at a chance to go out with a beautiful woman. He shook his head and told himself he was just being stupid. Grabbing his phone he dialed the numbers written on the paper and waited for an answer.

"Hello?" Rebecca's voice echoed over the phone.

"Um Rebecca…this is ah Randy…" He wanted to kick himself for sounding so dumb.

Rebecca smiled over the phone. "Hey Randy…I'm glad you called."

Randy raised an eyebrow. "You are?"

Rebecca laid her outfit for the night on her bed before she continued. "Yeah, my friends and I are going out tonight and I need a date…would you be up for it?"

Randy remembered her mentioning she was meeting her friend earlier. She he go? But instantly knew the answer knowing he needed a good night out. "Yeah, sounds good…what time do we meet?"

Rebecca looked over at the clock on the nightstand next to her bed. "Well, it's four thirty right now…I would say ten till' six."

Randy just nodded his head. "Alright…see you downstairs then?"

Rebecca nodded over the phone even though he couldn't see her. "Yeah, see you then."

Randy heard dial tone and hung up his phone. He looked down at his casual clothing and sighed knowing he'd have to change again.

An hour and twenty minutes later Gabriella and Dave were downstairs as they waited for Rebecca and maybe this "mystery" man to come down.

Finally, spotting her friend Gabriella smiled and waved. "So this 'mystery' guy…is he coming?" Gabriella asked making sure to emphasize the word mystery.

Rebecca nodded as she scanned the lobby. "He should be here any minute."

Gabriella scrunched her eyebrows as they all waited in silence for the last of their party to come. "Oh, there he is!" She partly shouted as she recognized the man from earlier.

Gabriella smiled at her friends giddiness but soon found a frown on her face as she took notice to who was walking up to them. He couldn't be. No.

Rebecca turned back to Gabriella and Dave with Randy's hand in hers. "Well, here he is."

Randy just stared on seeing Dave and Gabriella. These were her "mystery" friends? Out of all the people in this world Rebecca's friend just had to be Gabriella.

"So, you two do know each other?" Rebecca guessed from the looks on their faces. Which she might add were not so pleasant.

Gabriella looked at Randy with a scowl on her face. "Yeah, we know each other…" Turning to Rebecca. "Why, didn't you tell me earlier?"

Rebecca shrugged and just looked at her friend. "Because I didn't know if he was coming or not…and plus I didn't think it'd be such a big deal…but from looking at the expressions on your faces…" She was stopped short.

"I don't think me going is such a great idea Rebecca…thanks for the invite though." Randy replied as went to walk away.

Gabriella saw the frown that appeared on her friend's face. "Randy, wait."

Randy's stomach tightened hearing her say his name. He slowly turned to face her. "Yeah?"

"Judging from the look on Rebecca's face she wants to go with us…I think we can act civil for one night…don't you think?" She questioned as she tilted her head to look at him.

That look was so cold. But yet so tempting. Shaking his thoughts away he nodded at Gabriella's question. "Yes, we can."

Rebecca smiled as she put her arm through Randy's. Dave had been staring holes through Randy the whole time and continued to as the girls flagged down a cab. The four scrunched up in the back of the cab with Gabriella and Rebecca in the middle. Somehow Gabriella and Randy got seated next together.

Randy stared at Gabriella out of the corner of his eye. She was wearing black striped slacks with a pink halter and to go over that was a black tie-up. It was just casual attire but yet to him she looked so beautiful. "With us being civil and all…may I say you look beautiful tonight." Randy whispered in her ear.

Gabriella swallowed feeling his breath on her neck. "Yes, thank you…" He was wearing jeans and a long sleeve white collared shirt to finish it off. She had always preferred him in jeans instead of his usual suit attire that he wore at work. "And you…you look good too." She whispered back in his ear.

Randy could feel his stomach knot up as he felt her lips just inches away from his skin. What the hell was going on? This is a woman he has know for practically his whole life and it's only now that he starts having feelings for her. Had those feelings always been there but he was just to dumb and blind to notice them? He sighed. This was going to be one tough night.

Gabriella felt Dave's eyes on her. She smiled letting him know she was okay. When he nodded she turned attention back up to the front but kept a look on Randy out of the corner of her eye. His head was resting against the back of his seat as he stared out into what was now a dark sky. He was quiet so she knew something was on his mind. Wanting to reach out for his hand she sighed to herself following his gaze out into the night's sky.
