Chapter 13 – Apologize
"I know, nice, huh?" Danni laughed lightly, just as a small knock echoed through out the room.
"Who the hell is that?" Sarah asked, raising an eyebrow as she quickly sat up from her bed.
"I dunno, probably just one of the girls, they might have left something behind." She shrugged, before walking over to the door.
"Well, tell them to piss off." Sarah replied, causing the older of the two to laugh.
"Alright." Danni shook her head, before beginning to open up the door. "Sarah said piss . . . woah." The brunette stopped dead as she saw who was on the other side . . .
"Hey, err, Danni right?" The blonde man asked with a pleasant smile.
"Yeah." The brunette replied, raising her eyebrow. "Chris, do you have any idea what time it is?"
"Yeah, I know it's late, it's just I need to talk to Sarah . . . "
"Err, okay." Danni replied a little confused. "One second, then."
"Who is it?" The young redhead asked with a yawn.
"Chris . . . "
"What?" Sarah blurted out, her eyes growing wide. "What does he want?"
"To talk to you." Danni shrugged with a small grin.
"But I look like shit!"
"Oh please." The young brunette rolled her eyes. "Just go talk to him."
"Alright, alright." Sarah sighed nervously as she stood up from her bed. "Don't wait up for me, okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't." Danni laughed lightly, before her friend finally left the hotel room, leaving her to some peace and quiet.
Walking into her empty hotel room, Melissa, now better known as Sammie, let out a small sigh as she took in the emptiness of it all. The truth was, she hated being single, it had been too long now since she had had a boyfriend. It didn't help that the one guy who she thought was remotely decent around this place was suspended at the moment.
Sitting down on the edge of the bed, only mere minutes passed before the young brunette couldn't take the deathly silence any longer. Picking up her door card, Sammie yet again made her way back out of her hotel room. Not knowing what else to do, the brunette hoped that a few drinks would cure her sorrows.
"Chris, hey." Sarah smiled lightly as she closed her door behind her for a little privacy. "Is something wrong?"
"Well, I was about to ask you the same question." He laughed lightly.
"What do you mean by that?" She asked, raising her eyebrow slightly in confusion.
"Well, you said you were going to call earlier and you didn't. I just wanted to check that nothing was wrong."
"Oh shit." The redhead quietly added, covering her mouth with her hand. "I totally forgot about it. I'm so sorry Chris, I've just been so busy."
"Hey, don't worry about it." He laughed lightly. "Just as long as you're alright."
"I'm fine." She replied, a grin plastered across her features as she took in the fact that Chris Jericho was worried about her.
"Alright, well, I'll see you tomorrow or something?" He added with another small smile, before he slowly began to walk away.
"Chris, err, wait." The redhead shouted, stopping the blonde in his tracks. "It's cool if you wanna get back, because it is pretty late and all, but I just wondered if you wanted to maybe get a drink or something?"
"I'd love too." He grinned back, before the pair made their way towards the lifts.
Melissa let out a nervous sigh as she stood outside of her hotel room, contemplating whether she should enter or not.
What she had told her friends about Cody having a hangover was in fact a lie. The reason she hadn't spent the day with him was because of an argument the pair had had first thing in the morning.
Letting out another small sigh, the brunette finally opened up the door and walked in, hoping that her boyfriend would be asleep.
"Hey . . . " He whispered from his seating position on the bed, causing her to jump lightly.
"Hey. I thought you'd be asleep." She smiled lightly.
"I was waiting for you." He added, before patting beside him on the bed.
Placing her things down, the young woman slowly made her way over to him and sat down, letting another sigh escape her lips as she did so.
"Mel, baby, I'm so sorry for how I reacted earlier." He began quickly, taking hold of one of her hands.
"I, its okay." She replied with a saddened smile.
"No, it isn't, regardless of what you told me, I still shouldn't have been like that."
"It's understandable Cody. I mean, it isn't ever day you hear something like that, is it?" She laughed lightly.
"No, I guess not." He shook his head with a small smile. "Just know that I'm here for you, no matter what, okay?"
"Thank you, Coddles." Mel smiled lightly, before placing a quick kiss on his lips.
"So, erm, did you get a test?"
"No." The brunette shook her head. "I didn't want to go by myself."
"Okay." He nodded as he brushed a strand of her hair from her face. "We'll go tomorrow."
Tiff smiled widely as she tiptoed into her hotel room to spot John already fast asleep. Quickly changing into her night clothes, the young brunette climbed into the double bed as quietly as possible so to not wake up her boyfriend.
"Hmm . . " He moaned, causing her to sigh slightly.
"Sorry baby, did I wake you?"
"Yes." He raised a playful eyebrow as he rubbed his eyes. "What time is it?"
"Nearly three."
"Seriously? What the hell do you girls find to talk about all this time?"
"Hmm, that's for me to know and for you, well, not to." She grinned brightly.
Rolling his eyes, the young man couldn't stay serious for long and quickly broke out into a soft chuckle.
"I'd rather not know, anyway." He grinned, before pulling the brunette closer to him.
"I wouldn't either." Tiff smiled back as she let out a yawn, before leaning into his huge frame. "Anyway, night Cena." She whispered.
"Night, babe." John smiled to himself, before the pair quickly fell to sleep.
Sammie ran a hand through her dark brown locks as she took a swig of her already third straight whiskey of the night. So far the alcohol was having no affect on her relationship problems what so ever and she was beginning to get frustrated.
"Mind if I join you?" A deep voice asked, bringing the young woman out of her trance.
"Err, sure, take a seat." She replied, managing to send a small smile his way.
"Thanks." He added with his patented smirk, before taking a sip of his lager. "So Mel, what you doing up so late?"
"How long have you got?" She asked with a small laugh.
"Well, seeing as I can't get to sleep worth a damn, all night." The dark haired man smirked back.
"Alright." She sighed. "I'm just sick of being single." She added, waiting for an amused comment to be sent her way.
"Tell me about it." He shook his head lightly.
"Wait, rewind!" Sammie added, her eyes growing slightly wide. "Randy Orton is sick of being single?"
"Yeah, shocking I know." He laughed. "I just think it's about time for me to settle down, ya know?"
"Yeah, I do." She nodded. "Well, is there anyone you want to settle down with?"
"No, not really." He shrugged. "What about you, there a guy you've got your eye on?" He grinned.
"Erm, like I'd tell you if there was." She shook her head playfully.
"Well it was worth a shot." He added, flashing his million dollar smile. "So, erm, can I ask you something?"
"Shoot." She sighed, downing the rest of her drink.
"Well, err, do you by any chance know a girl called Inah?"
"You mean the girlie's best friend?" Mel asked.
"Yeah." Randy nodded.
"I do, kinda. Why, how the hell do you know her?"
"I err . . oh fuck it." He sighed as he leaned forward in his seat. "Can I tell you something? You have to promise me you won't tell a soul . . "
"Of course, you can trust me." She smiled lightly.
"Alright, well . . ."
"Can I ask you a question?" Inah asked, breaking the silence that had taken over the table she was sitting at.
"If you're going to ask if I'm single then the answer is yes." The young man grinned back as he bit off a piece of bacon.
"Wow, let's get married now then!" The dark haired woman replied sarcastically. "No, I just wanted to know what made you take drugs."
"Oh." He sighed, his eyes widening slightly. "Well to be honest, I just wanted to look good. That's basically what the wrestling business is about these days, you can't afford to look bad. When I did start to lose my muscle a little, I panicked and I didn't know what else to do."
As Inah watched the young man before her confess, a small smile reached her lips. He may have been an arrogant, bigheaded pig but the truth was, that was just a cover. Underneath the act was just a normal, sensitive young man.
"I dunno, there are plenty of guys in the wrestling business that aren't exactly well toned." She shrugged as she took a sip of her coffee. "And I don't see how your look can determine your career. It's how good you are at what you do."
"Wait, you're telling me you're a wrestling fan?" The man added, a smirk quickly appearing on his features.
"Yes, believe it or not." She rolled her eyes.
"Woah, didn't take you for that kinda girl." He grinned yet again. "So, who's your favourite? Wait, it's me, isn't it?"
"You? Please." She laughed as she shook her head.
"Oh come on, even you know that everybody loves me."
Watching the young man as another wide smirk appeared on his face, the dark haired woman decided that the best thing to do would be to ignore his last comment. She didn't want his ego to grow, especially seeing as her answer would be agreeing with him . .
It had been around half an hour since Sarah had left with Chris and it didn't seem like the redhead would be returning any time soon. Danni smiled to herself slightly as she switched off the lamp beside her, before climbing into bed and making herself comfortable. She was happy for all of her friends right now, everything seemed to be going so well for them. If only she had picked one of their men to fall for instead of him . .
Just as this thought left her mind, another knock echoed through out the room, causing the young woman to shoot up from her bed. After regaining her composure, she shook her head lightly as she stood up and walked over to it, expecting to see Sarah on the other side saying she had forgotten her card.
"Hey Danni." He smirked smugly, causing the young brunette's eyes to grow wide.
"What the fuck do you . . " She began, but stopped suddenly as she remembered the plan which was to start whenever she next bumped into him. "What's up?" She sighed, hoping it'd calm her down some.
"Well, I umm, wanted to apologise." He stuttered, pulling a bunch of roses from behind his back and holding them in front of her.
The young woman had to hold in the laugh that was dying to escape her lips at this moment. To say this man had to act each and every week on television, he really was terrible at it. It was obvious that the only reason he was doing this was because he wanted to be in her good books, that way he'd be able to work his way to getting what he had wanted to start with.
If it was under any other circumstances, the brunette would have thrown the flowers back in his face, but she couldn't do that right now. If she wanted to teach this guy a lesson she was going to have to go along with it. For now, anyway.
"You know Dave, I appreciate that." She smiled as pleasantly as possible. "Wait, you came to apologize to me at this time?"
"Yeah, I hope that's okay." He nodded with a smile. "I just couldn't take knowing that I'd upset you any longer."
"Aww, how cute." Danni grinned back, yet again holding in her laughter.
"So, err yeah, here." He replied, passing the roses over to her.
"Wow, these are gorgeous. Thank you." She smiled brightly as she took in the scent of them.
"You're welcome. Right well, I'll let you get to bed because it's late, but one last thing first. I was wondering, if you'd like to go out to dinner soon or something? Just you know, to show you that I really am sorry for how I treated you." He replied 'sincerely'.
"Oh, Dave . . " She sighed, cringing slightly at what was about to leave her mouth. "That would be nice."
"Really?" He smirked lightly.
"Yeah." She nodded with a smile.
"Great." He nodded with a grin. "Okay, we'll work out details another time?" He asked, receiving a nod. "Alright, night Danni."
"Night Dave, thank you for the flowers." She smiled pleasantly as she watched him walk away from her.
As soon as 'The Animal' turned from site, the young brunette quickly made her way back into her hotel room, closing the door behind her. Letting out a sigh, she looked down at the roses which she had been given. This was going to be so much harder than she thought. How was she supposed to lie to him for so long? She knew that he was an asshole, and she knew that he deserved it, but that still didn't stop her from thinking it was the wrong decision. It still didn't stop her from having feelings for him.
