Mike and I sat down and ordered two burgers, fries, and two cokes. After the waitress took our order, we started talking. "Mike, how are things going with you and Christine?" I asked.
"She wants to get a divorce."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's ok. I think we just fell apart. But anyway, how are things going with you and Rey?" He changed the subject.
"They're great. We're engaged." He started choking on his coke.
"You're engaged?!? Since when?"
"Last night. After Christine told me that you wouldnt want to sign Ry over to me unless I could give him a mother and a father, I told Rey. Then he proposed to me."
"He couldn't possibly love you to the point of marriage."
"And how per say are you such an expert on my or Rey's feelings for each other?"
"All I'm saying is you guys have been dating only a few days and you're already engaged. What's up with that?"
"Let me explain something to you," the waitress put the food down in front of each of us so we started eating since I had to get back pretty soon."I was in love with Rey back in Mexico. But because I had you at home, Rey and I surpressed our feelings. Who knows, maybe if I had stayed with him instead of you, I wouldn't have had a kid at the age of 18. I wouldn't have waited until I was 23 to get into wrestling. But you know something, if I had chosen Rey instead of you, I wouldn't have Ryan, who I love with everything that I am."
"You know, you're pretty cute when you're mad."
"Excuse me?"
"I'm sorry. Listen Candy, we've had a rough couple of years. I want to be friends now, for Ryan's sake. So let's just put the past behind us and be friends. What'll you say?"
"Ok." I reached across the table and hugged him.
"What the Heck?" I heard Rey scream. I turned around and found myself face to face with Rey.
"Rey, this is not what it looks like."
"Really. Good cus what it looks like is my fiancee is out on a date with a man who she dumped me for before."
I stood up. His tone was driving me crazy. "Are you getting jealous again Rey?"
"I think I have every right to be jealous."
"Look man, that was just a friendly hug," Mike piped up.
"Rey, C'mon we need to talk." I grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the resturant. "I thought we talked earlier about your jealousy. It really bothers me when my boyfriend is jealous because I am one hundred percent monogomas but I do have friends that are guys. And I'm a very huggy person, you of all people should know that."
"I know, but Candy you have to understand, jealous is just the way I get sometimes. I'm sorry."
"Whoa. Now I remember why we never really went out in Mexico. Besides the fact that I was with Mike, you were totally jealous even when we were just friends. Rey I'm sorry, you mean a lot to me, but I really don't think we should be boyfriend and girlfriend, I think we should just be friends."
"Ok, I think that might be best too." I hugged him. He headed back to the arena, and I went back into the dinner. Ryan and Mike were just finishing up their food.
"Candy, I'm sorry if I caused any problems between you and Rey," Mike said.
"No, please sit. Stay with me as I finish my burger please."
"Ok, C'mon Ry. Have a seat." We all sat in the booth. I finished my burger quickly. Then we headed back to the arena. We got there just before the show was to start. I ran to get changed, Mike and Ryan went with Sarah to my locker room while I ran to make-up.
"Hey C.J." Brock said coming up to me while I was getting my make-up done.
"Hey Brock what's up?"
"Not much. So, uh... I just talked to Victoria."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, uh... she told me that she likes me. She wants to go out for real."
"So why are you telling me this?" He wasn't bugging me but it was bothering me that I felt jealous that he was going to hook up with Victoria.
"I want to make sure that there isn't any possibility of us ever being together again before I say yes."
"Brock, I just broke up with Rey. I am not having very good luck in relationships right now, so I'm not going to date anyone. The only guy I need in my life is Ryan. I have my uncle and I have my father. I don't want to fall in love with anyone else right now. So I could care less if you went and hooked up with Victoria."
"Ok. Thanks. I will tell her ok. And Candy, I'm sorry you're having bad luck with love right now, but it's not you. You're perfect." He walked away. The make-up ladies finished and I went back to my locker room. Ryan and Mike were hanging out with Matt Hardy in there.
"Hey Matt, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to talk to you. I know you've got a match in about twenty minutes, but I think you and I need to talk."
"Ok. But like you said I have a match to get ready for. So come with me." I grabbed my wrist band, and went out of the room. Matt followed me.
"Candy, why were you at the dinner with Mike and not Rey?"
"Mike was treating me to dinner. And now, Rey and I have broken up." I walked down the hallway putting my wrist band on.
"You broke up with Rey? Why you two love each other."
"Matt, I'm sorry, but I don't think you're the best one to be giving me relationship advice. You are the one who can't see when THE ONE is right in front of your eyes."
"What are you talking about?"
"Matt, we've known each other for a long time, so I'm gonna tell you this. Amy and you belong together. You should never have broken up. So call Amy and get back together with her. And this time DON'T MESS IT UP!"
"How did we go from talking about you and Rey to talking about Me and Amy?"
"You know I'm right."
"And you know I'm right."
"No. Rey and I are just friends. I should have never started going out with him because I'm in love with someone else."
"Who?"
"Brock," I whispered.
"Why'd you break up with him then?"
"I don't know. I honestly don't know. But he loves Victoria anyway."
"You should tell him how you feel."
"And you should get back together with Amy." I walked off leaving him standing there to think about what I had said. I went backstage. My match with Victoria went off without a hitch.
"She wants to get a divorce."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's ok. I think we just fell apart. But anyway, how are things going with you and Rey?" He changed the subject.
