The girls hung out with Terri until Dave's match was over and he had showered. When Dave knocked on the diva's locker room door, Trish answered, "Hi! Didn't expect to see you knocking on our door." Trish said with a smile, "I bet you're looking for your girls."
Dave nodded, "Yeah, we're gonna get going."
"Well, I'll make a deal with you, I'll give you your girls back if you can help me find a ride to the next town. I was supposed to ride with Victoria but she took off already." Trish replied.
Dave laughed, "Gee that's a hard one, why don't you ride there with us? We've got enough room."
"Are you sure, this is your time with the girls, I don't want to intrude." Trish asked cautiously.
"Yes I'm sure, it'll be fine. Besides, they'll be asleep the minute we hit the highway."
Trish smiled, "Then I'd love to. But I'm buying dinner. We've established that they're hungry."
Dave laughed and walked in with her. Out came Aly and Jenni, they're hair was curled and they were both wearing make up and little tops with jeans and high-heeled boots. "Hi Dad!"
Dave looked at Terri, "What did you do?"
She smiled, "Well, I let them go through some of the stuff that I bought Dakota at the mall and I did their hair and makeup."
Dave grinned, "Why don't you girls get changed and we'll go grab something to eat."
The girls nodded and ran off. Terri was on her way out the door, Dave smiled, "Thanks for keeping them occupied."
Terri grinned, "Not a problem, I love playing dress up."
After Terri was gone, Dave looked at Trish who was trying not to laugh, "Did you see how they were dressed?"
Trish stifled a laugh, "Um, yeah. Why, didn't you like it?" Dave shot her a glare, "Way too much make up and too much stomach showing."
Trish looked at him, "Look who dressed them."
"Thanks, you're helpful."
Trish stuck her tongue out at him. "What can I say?"
The girls came out with their clothes and Terri's in a separate bag. "She said we can give them to her at the next venue." Aly advised Dave.
"That's fine. Let's go. Trish is going to come with us if you don't mind." Dave informed them as they walked to the truck.
The girls looked at each other and smiled. Trish was one of their favorite divas. "Sounds good." Jenni finally responded. "This is so cool!" Jenni whispered to Aly.
Aly nodded in unison, "I can't believe she's riding with us tonight and we get to hang out with her tomorrow!"
The girls did their secret handshake with each other and hopped in the truck.
They went to a restaurant to eat dinner. They decided to go somewhere sit down. They were seated and Dave talked to the girls about school and their extra-curricular activities. The girls talked to them about the business a little bit. Dave snuck up to the register and took care of the tab before the waitress brought the check to the table.
They sat there a little longer when Trish started to look around for the waitress, "I wish that she would bring us our bill so we could get going."
Dave slowly grinned, "Oh, it's been taken care of already, let's hit the road."
Trish playfully slugged him, "I told you that I was getting it."
"Yeah I know, but I couldn't let you do that." Dave responded.
"I'll get you back, when you least expect it." Trish replied putting her jacket on. "And you can count on that."
"Oooh, I'm scared." Dave replied, "I'm shaking in my boots."
"You'd better be."
The girls were laughing. Aly leaned over to Jenni, "Do you think she likes dad?"
Jenni smiled, "Maybe, why?" "Well, maybe we could get them to talk if we act like we're asleep. Remember, dad said he really didn't know her that well."
Jenni grinned, "Good thinking, let's see what we can hear."
The girls raced each other out to the truck and climbed in the back. Dave opened Trish's door and helped her in.
Soon Dave looked in the rearview mirror and seen that the girls were asleep. "So tell me about yourself Trish."
Trish tried not to blush, "What do you mean? What do you want to know?"
"Tell me about you. I don't know you very well, so I'd like to know more about you."
Trish smiled, "Alright, let's start at the beginning. My real name is Patricia Stratigias, I was born on Dec. 18, 1975. I grew up in Toronto, Canada and I still live there today. What about you?"
Dave smiled, "Well, My real name is David Bautista but the WWE dropped the 'U' and it became Batista. I was born on January 18th, 1969, and I grew up in Arlington, Virginia and that's where I live now.
Trish smiled and nodded. "I never knew you had two kids, do you have anymore? Does your wife miss you while you're on the road?"
"Nope, these are my only two, I wouldn't have minded more but Angie said not if I was going to be a wrestler, so it's just Aly and Jenni. Angie and I divorced about a year or so ago, so nope not married either. That's why I'm going on that double date with Brock, remember?"
Trish nodded, "I didn't think about that. You don't sound very excited about your double date."
"Well, I started dating Angie in high school, so the brief time we were broken up years and years ago was the last time I dated anybody, but Brock insists that it's time to move on with my life, so he's setting me up with a friend of his fiancee's. I guess I'm just nervous. I would rather get to know someone first and then start seeing each other, but maybe I'm just old- fashioned." Dave explained.
"NO, no, I agree. I was never any good at that blind date thing. A lot of men wind up being intimidated by me. Either it was because I was a fitness model or because I'm a wrestler. I never did real well on the dating scene." Trish agreed.
"Yeah, I never had to worry. I'm one who enjoyed being married. I may not look like it, but I'm a big family man at heart. I love my girls, and I love to make people happy. I know that I have a lot of love in my heart left to give, but I just don't know if I'll ever find that someone again. You know what I mean?" Dave knew that he was going out on a limb being so open with Trish, but he couldn't help it. He just felt really comfortable with her and he wasn't sure why.
Trish smiled, "I know exactly what you mean. I would love to be with someone who I could share my love with. Someone who I could make happy and know that I was making a difference in their world. The last relationship I was in was a HUGE disaster. I was dating this guy who would not give on anything. He would never compromise, I was always the one giving. I live in Toronto and he lived in Ontario and if I wanted to see him I had to go to his house, he wouldn't come to mine. If I wanted to surprise him, I had to run it by him first. There was no such thing as compromise and finally I had enough. So I totally understand where you're coming from." Trish wasn't sure what was happening, but she found herself wanting to know everything about Dave. He was dark and mysterious, yet he was so normal. She could tell that he was normally very private just from locker room interaction, so she wanted to know everything.
They arrived at the hotel at about 6:00 in the morning. Dave woke the girls up and handed them the room key, "I'll be right up." They nodded and headed towards the elevator. Jenni turned to Aly, "Did you stay awake?"
"No I fell asleep," Aly replied slowly, "What about you?"
Jenni shook her head, "No, I fell asleep too."
They both pouted and headed to the room to go back to bed.
Dave helped Trish with her stuff to her room. "Well, this is it, thanks for helping me with my bags and letting me tag along, I had a great time."
Dave smiled and nodded, "I had a good time also. We should do that again sometime."
Trish shook her head yes a little to soon, and with a big smile and a little rosy color to her cheeks she replied, "I would love to!"
"Well, I'll drop the girls off tonight and you can tell me if I look ok or if I should wear something else." Dave said to Trish.
"You've got it. I'll see you at 7:00 p.m." Trish replied.
"Sounds good." And with that Dave headed to his hotel room.
Trish went into her room and shut the door. She wasn't sure quite why but she felt all tingly and bubbly inside, but wasn't quite sure as to why.
