Chapter Six
Trista sat at the vanity table, getting ready for her date with Dwayne. She wanted this to be a surprise for her friends, so she didn't say anything to them all week that she had plans for tonight. It was just a simple date, dinner and a movie. Attire consisted of tight jeans, nice shirt.
Finishing her makeup, Trista slipped into her jeans and a white eyelet sleeveless shirt. Doing her hair up, she checked herself in the mirror to make sure how she looked. Sitting back down, she put on her hoop earrings and some light jewelry on. A few minutes later, Mark had come upstairs to see what she was up to. Sitting on her bed, he noticed she was all done up in a way. He decided to ask why.
"Girl, where are you going?"
"Oh, a dinner and a movie."
"By yourself?" he raised a eyebrow.
"With Dwayne." She turned around a smiled sweetly. His eye widened for a moment.
After shooting her a look, he let her be, laughing to himself as he walked down the stairs. A few moments passed and she heard thunderous footsteps coming up towards her. That had to be the girls. First it was Shelly and Leia, then Stacy and Mercedes. They all gathered onto Trista's bed except for Trista, who remained at the vanity table looking at the beauty staring back at her.
"SPILL!" All four of them said at the same time.
"I'm going on a date with Dwayne."
Mercedes looked dead at her. "Dwayne Johnson. The Rock. The same guy???" Trista nodded. "Well I'll be damned."
The other girls laughed while Trista began to blush. "He asked me out Sunday night. He came home this morning, called me, so the date is still on." She smiled warmly.
"So what are you going to do Tristy?" Stacy asked.
"Yea! I wanna know too!" Shelly added in.
"It's a casual date. Nothing fancy. Eat dinner at Outback Steakhouse and watch Daredevil at his place." Trista answered.
"And jump his bones." Shelly said.
"No way! I don't get down on the first date!" Trista shot back.
"Bullshit! Tristy I know you. Hell, if you weren't a virgin when you dated Sean, you would have done it within three hours!" Shelly instigated.
"Would have not!" Trista retorted.
"Let's do this the easy way," Leia spoke up. "I'll bet you $20. If you sleep with Dwayne tonight, I win. If not, you save your money."
"Deal!" Trista said, shaking Leia's hand.
Leia laughed. "Tristy is going on a date with the Rock. The same person who a few months ago was hopping around the ring going 'Yay, oh yay! He said Toronto! Hey that's where we live!'" Leia was jumping around, imitating him.
Everyone busted out laughing at her, and joined in on the fun. Each girl did a different promo taking turns. It made for good entertainment, as Mark stood there and began to laugh at the crazy girls.
~~~~~~~~~~
Dinner at Outback was pleasant, and hit the spot. Dwayne had picked her up around 4 that afternoon, and went to eat first before anything. Before it got too busy, they left and headed to Albany, where he lived. There was a soft downpour of rain most of the way there, which was rather peaceful. Dwayne held her hand the majority of the drive, which was okay to her…this, was rather new.
"Trista, are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, just relaxing," she answered back.
"You don't feel uncomfortable do you?"
"No, I'm perfectly fine."
Trista smiled warmly at him, and he returned her smile. He stroked her hand gently with his thumb, concentrating on the road. Trista laid her head back against the seat, admiring the rain. Within a little while, they had arrived to his place. It was rather posh, but this is the Rock. After giving her a tour of the huge house, he led her to the living room, where they were going to watch Daredevil.
The movie ended within an hour and a half. Neither Dwayne or Trista liked the movie too much, so the two decided to cut up and listen to music…right in the middle of the living room. At first, Trista was ad-libbing while she was singing, and being silly, giggling and running around the living room. Since it was a mix, Trista would get happy every time a new song would come on.
Later on, the slow jams began to play. Soon enough, Trista and Dwayne were getting close to each other, slow dancing. She could feel his hands snake around her waist, down her outer thighs occasionally. She swallowed hard and continued to dance with him, ignoring her feelings of intense desire.
As if that wasn't enough, her emotions were now being tested. The song, "Dangerously in Love", by Destiny's Child, began to play. She froze for a moment before getting back in step. She then continued to dance, listening to the lyrics.
~
Baby I
love you, you are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete if you weren't by my side
You're my relation and connection to the sun
With you next to me, there's no darkness I can't overcome
You are my raindrops, I am the seed
With you and God, who's my sunlight, I'm blooming, grown so beautifully
Baby I'm so proud, proud to be your girl
You make the confusion go all away from this cold and misty world
~
She closed her eyes, fighting her tears. This was her and Sean's wedding song. Mercedes picked the song out for her during the planning. She remembered the dance so clearly, the look in his eyes, the joy she had in her heart.
~
I am in love with you (in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me
Cause I'm dangerously in love with you (in love)
I'll never leave
Just keep loving me the way I love you loving me
~
Dwayne noticed something was up, but decided not to pursue it. He held her tightly and Trista returned it. She wasn't responsive otherwise.
Trista's heart swelled as she thought of the happy memories of her marriage and life with Sean. What led up to the marriage, the wedding day itself. After the wedding. Trying not to cry, she put her arms around Dwayne and kept them snug against him.
~
I know you love me, love me for who I am
Cause years before I became who I am, baby you were my man
I know it ain't easy, easy loving me
I appreciate the love and dedication from you to me
Later on in my destiny I see myself having your child
I see myself being your wife and I see my whole future in your eyes
The thought of all my love for you, sometimes makes me wanna cry
I Realize all my blessings, I'm grateful to have you by my side
~
That did her in. Trista excused herself, saying she needed to get to the bathroom. Instead, Trista ran out towards the terrace, located in the back. Finally making her way there, her tears were now flowing free. She ran to the water fountain and threw herself down, bawling like there was no tomorrow.
She really didn't feel it until now. Her heart was tearing up inside. She missed him, but she didn't know if he felt the same. There was nothing she could do to stop this emotion from pouring out of her. She was breaking down, and she needed to get away from Dwayne before it was too late. She was afraid she was doing this for the wrong reasons.
It was a while before Dwayne even realized where she was. By the time he saw her, it was raining a bit; not too hard, but not too light either. His heart broke at the sight of her crying. Taking a deep breath, he went over to her, hoping he could be any comfort.
"Trista sweetie, what's wrong." He lifted her chin up, looking into her eyes. There was a lot of hurt, unspoken emotion in her eyes. "Is it about Sean?"
She nodded quietly, still sniffling. "That…song….was…was…our wedding song…" she broke down again.
Dwayne could do nothing but hold her. He knew how she felt. He couldn't believe how emotionally tough she was. She didn't crack until now; she didn't shed a tear when she found out. Didn't shed a tear when she confronted him up in the skybox. He heard it from Stacy and Mercedes.
He continued to hold Trista as she cried, eventually taking her up to his master bedroom, which had a bathroom. He got a towel and she dried herself off as she told him all what happened. While she talked, he opened up the French style windows so fresh air could come in. The rain was falling at a steady rhythm.
She told him of the trip they had taken after she met Dwayne. When she told him that Sean had hit her, he was outraged. He couldn't believe Sean would do that, especially to his own wife. That was so unlike him. After about a minute, Trista began to sob again.
Dwayne held her in his arms as Trista softly wept; letting all the pent-up sadness she had been carrying inside of her since the day she found out about Sean's infidelity out. He gently ran his hand up and down her back, feeling her shake and tremble as she cried. How and why would someone hurt such a woman like her was a mystery to him. He had to hold back his fury at Sean and all that he put her through for the moment, not wanting to upset Trista anymore than what she already was. He held her as she eventually began to calm down and her sobbing began to stop. She slumped against him, worn out from weeping and her breathing shaky and ragged.
He took her face in his hands, brushing away the last remaining tears on her face and looking at her tenderly. Trista looked up at him, her gaze meeting his then looking away in embarrassment.
"I'm…I'm so sorry Dwayne, for getting so upset like that. We were having such a great time and I put a damper on it like that," she said. "I kind of ruined the rest of the evening didn't I?
"No don't apologize. You shouldn't have to, you did nothing wrong", he assured her. "You're just going through a rough time right now. And you didn't ruin the evening either, so don't say that."
"How could Sean do that to me?" she asked sadly, looking back up at Dwayne. "How could he promise to love me forever, until death do us part, and break those vows that he made the day we married? How could he tell me that he loved me, and then lay a hand on me in anger?"
"Sweetie, he's blind. Blind to the fact that he had a beautiful, intelligent, kind woman as a wife and doesn't know how good he really has it."
"It wasn't enough if he had to go and sleep with someone like Torrie or someone like Jackie," she said flatly.
"Then he doesn't know how good he really had it, and it's his loss. A billion Torrie's and a billion Jackie's could never match one of you."
Dwayne pressed his lips to her forehead, kissing it softly. Trista closed her eyes as his lips touched her skin. She began to feel more relaxed and comfortable being in his arms as they still stood in each other's embrace. She felt time stand still as suddenly he tilted her chin up with his fingers and pressed his lips to hers softly in a kiss. The kiss lasted mere seconds but felt like it minutes. Trista felt fire spread throughout her body as the previously ignored feelings of desire swept through her, at an almost dizzying pace.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her tighter against his muscular tanned body as they kissed. Their kisses started off slowly and softly, and then grew even more passionate and deeper by the second. Tongues lashed and rolled around, exploring each others mouths while hands began to travel over bodies, wreching sighs and groans from one another. Her hands moved up his chest and stomach, feeling his muscular torso from underneath the fabric of his shirt, up to his shoulders and then finally her arms wove around his neck.
"Trista," Dwayne said as soon as their kiss reluctantly ended. "Is this what you want? I'm not going to rush you into any thing you're not ready for."
"You're not rushing me," she responded. "This is what I want. I want you."
He scooped her up in his arms, her holding onto him tightly. She leaned her head on his shoulder as he proceeded to carry her over to the massive bed in the center of the room and laid her down in the center of it. He joined her and the two resumed kissing as they had done before. Hands grew adventurous as they began exploring one another, seeing what made each of them feel good and what aroused them. The soft sounds of their foreplay began to fill the room as the rain poured down outside. Soon clothing was removed and fell to the floor in a small pile by the side of the bed. The shadows of the raindrops falling from the nighttime sky formed patterns on their bare flesh. This was the first time in a long time Trista felt so good and so loved, and she could tell that Dwayne was doing everything he could to please her and keep her thoroughly pleased. Her body ached and craved for more.
He sensed this and he reached over to the small wooden nightstand by the bed, and opened a drawer. Taking out a small foil packet he tore it open and after retrieving the contents of it, unrolled the condom onto his straining erection. Once that was done he moved towards Trista, who was lying on the bed watching him as he made his way up her body, placing soft kisses along the way until he was face to face with her. The look on her face was full of lust and desire and matched his.
Slowly he filled her with his length, groaning at the tightness surrounding him. He laid still for a moment to let her body adjust to him then slowly he began to move. Trista wrapped her legs around his waist, locking them at the small of his back and taking him in deeper. Her hips began to move with his until they matched his rhythm perfectly. She leaned her forehead on his as he rode her body with an intensity and a passion she never felt before in her entire life.
Trista wrapped her arms around Dwayne's neck, holding on for dear life as his motions grew faster and harder. Her breathing became heavier and more ragged along with his. Sweat began to pour down their skin, causing their bodies to make slapping noises as they rubbed up against one another's. He nails began to dig into his back, leaving slight red markings. Their moans began to echo throughout the room and through the open window as they reached their climaxes in a fiery rush. They laid there on the sweat-dampened sheets exchanging slow kisses after their long hot moment of passion.
When their bodies began to cool down he withdrew himself from her body reluctantly, and made his way to the bathroom to dispose of the used condom. After that was done he came back to the bed, laying back down and pulling the covers over him and Trista. She was beginning to doze off, a smile of content and thorough satisfaction on her face. He gathered her body into his arms and together they fell asleep with their bodies twined peacefully and lovingly as the rain began to slow down and then finally stop.
Trista woke up a couple hours later to go to the bathroom and then get her knickers and wash them. Throwing on Dwayne's large shirt, she tiptoed downstairs and stole some detergent. Putting a little bit in the sink and mixing it in the water, she let them soak about twenty minutes before wringing them out. After cleaning out the sink, she set them on the towel rack allowing it to dry.
Trista threw the shirt off and climbed back into bed with Dwayne. How this happened, she didn't know. But right now she didn't care, and besides, it was always one of her goals to sleep with the Rock. A little personal satisfaction never hurt anyone.
Dwayne turned to face her as Trista was getting comfortable in the bed. He pulled her towards him and wrapped his arms around her as she began to fall asleep again. A cool breeze came through the window, making the curtains fall away as the rain began up again, setting a rhythm for the couple to sleep to once again.
