Chapter 37: Girl Problems

After hanging up with her brothers, Elena called Christy to invite her and Stacy out to dinner with her. "Hello?" Christy answered.

"Hey girl, it's Elena. I just wanted to know if you guys wanted to get something to eat with me." she said.

Elena heard Christy yell to Stacy what Elena had said to her, "Sure! We'll meet you in the lobby in half an hour."

"Sounds good. Bye." Elena hung up and went to wash her face in the bathroom. While she was in there the entire argument replayed in her head. I know I'm wrong in this situation. I never should've said those things to him. But he didn't have a right to tell me who I can hang out with! And he didn't have to call me a... Elena couldn't even think on it anymore. She had been called that word many times in her life, but it never hurt as much as when Dave called her that. Which really only meant one thing, I really am in love with him. Oh god! I knew I would screw this up! I always do! She yelled to herself and hit the wall with her hand.

Elena turned off the water and tried to keep her composure for when she met her friends for dinner. She put on a tanktop and skirt with sneakers and grabbed her purse to head out the door. When she looked up in the hallway, she was surprised to see Dave still standing there. He was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. Elena didn't want to speak to him just yet, but she had to walk past him to get to the elevator. She felt like he was the troll under the bridge, and tried to quietly pass him.

The diva thought she was home free when she heard his voice behind her. "Where are you going?" Dave asked. The tone in his voice wasn't demanding, merely curious, as if he was concerned.

Elena was still plenty pissed, and the only alternative to crying in front of him, was to continue being mean to him. Without turning around, she said over her shoulder, "Having dinner with my friends. Hope you don't have a problem with that too." Elena then quickly tried to get to the elevator, knowing that if they continued talking she would burst into fresh tears.

"Elena, wait." Dave called out exasperated.

"I have to go. I'll see you around." she replied, waiting for the doors to open.

"Damnit Elena would you listen? What the hell has gotten into you?" he exclaimed. Elena didn't respond, praying that the doors would open soon. "Forget it then. I don't know why I bothered." he growled, deciding to take the stairs, despite his leg.

Elena watched him leave, a tear slipping down her cheek. When the doors opened she stepped inside and did all she could to get herself together before seeing her friends. She pulled a mirror out of her purse and checked to see how she looked. When she was sure no one could tell anything was wrong, she stepped out onto the lobby and saw her friends waiting for her.

"Hey guys!" she greeted and ran over to them.

"Hey girl, ready to go?" Christy asked. Elena nodded and noticed Stacy had her head down, and was pretty quiet. Elena knew she was upset from their conversation earlier, but it wasn't her fault. Elena smiled at her friends and linked arms with them.

"Let's go paint the town red, shall we?" Elena chuckled, winking at Stacy, who smiled back at her.

"Let's," Stacy replied, all the girls laughing as they walked out to get some food.

They decided on a Chinese place and sat down to wait for their waiter. "So I heard that you and Dave took a little road trip," Christy smirked.

"That we did. We went to Dallas to go to the aquarium there, it was really fun." Elena stated, knowing that this wasn't the end of the conversation.

"Well I also heard that you guys slept in the same room." Christy continued, the obvious notion in her head and tone.

"Yeah, it saved me more money. But instead of every conversation being about my personal life, let's talk about yours. When are you gonna get out there and get yourself a man?" Elena asked her.

"Well you took the last good one," Christy chuckled, Elena and Stacy joining her. "Seriously though, I saw this one guy backstage at the show one night and he was so cute. But I haven't seen him since and it sucks. I thought maybe he worked with us and I just never met him, but then again I know just about everybody. He looked like he was there with his brother."

Elena looked up at her in confusion, "What are you talking about? When was this?"

"Um...it was maybe two or three weeks ago, the tag-team match between Batista, Rey and MNM and you and Melina got into it. They were waiting outside the women's locker room." Christy said, trying to remember. "I remember hearing them talking outside so I went to see who it was. I didn't get a chance to talk to him because he was talking to Dave, Rey and Chris."

"Oh my god. Did you think they were cute?" Elena asked, about to laugh.

"I thought the shorter one was the better looking one, he was so funny! I just wish I could've gotten the chance to talk to him." Christy sighed sadly.

"I can't believe this," Elena said laughing hysterically.

"What's so funny?" she asked a little insulted.

"Well there are a number of things that are funny. For one, I have his number in my cell phone. Two, I went to dinner with those two and Dave after that show. Three, they're my older brothers Kenny and Scott." Elena laughed.

"Are you serious?" Christy exclaimed, Stacy laughing along with Elena.

"Yes! Dave brought them both out to see me as a surprise and we all had dinner together after the show. The shorter one is Scott, and the taller one is Kenny." Elena explained. Christy started blushing, feeling like an idiot. "Don't feel bad girl, I know for a fact that they both think you're hot."

"Really?" Christy asked. Elena nodded, Stacy still laughing at the entire situation.

"I'll tell you what, next time I talk to him I'll ask him about it. Hell I'll give you his number right now," Elena said pulling out her cell phone and call out the number to Christy. "Now you can talk to him yourself."

"But I don't even know what I would say to him," she said nervously.

"Well you don't have to call him right this second, just think of good reason to call later on." Stacy added. "Oh! Like how about you call him and say Elena told you to call him because she lost her cell phone or something!"

"Oh I like it! Then you guys can just start talking and see where it takes you," Elena said, excited.

"Okay, if you guys really think it'll work." Christy stated quietly.

"Trust me, I know my brother, and he would kill to have a WWE Diva call him on his cell phone. I'll tell you what, we'll meet up after Friday's show and we'll help you out, okay?" Elena asked.

"Thank you!" Christy exclaimed, grabbing Elena's hands.

"All right! Calm down!" Elena laughed, and then looked to Stacy. "Now then, one down and one to go."

"Who me?" Stacy asked, seeing Elena give her a 'Yes you' look. "Oh...well I have had my eye on one guy, but I doubt it would ever happen."

"Well that's the kind of attitude that makes it not happen," Christy stated, Elena agreeing. Stacy looked at her friends unsure and then rolled her eyes.

"You see these conversations are more fun when it's about you," Stacy said pointing to Elena who just chuckled. "Okay, I've kinda had a crush on..." and Stacy mumbled the rest. Both girls told her to speak up, earning another roll of the eyes. "I said...(mumble)."

"Who?" they both asked.

"HHH!" Stacy exclaimed, not meaning to be so loud.
