CHILLIN' AT THE VILLA

"It's 10:45, I'll give it fifteen more minutes and then I'm leaving," Lori informed her friend.

"Maybe he's working, they don't get off until pretty late sometimes. Give him a chance Lori." Amy tried to convince Lori to stay.

"But we don't even know he's going to look for me anyway." Lori grumbled.

"We do now." Amy's voice grew serious and Lori followed her stare towards the doors. "Look what just breezed in the doors."

Chris came through the doors flanked by two other equally well-built men. On his right walked a man with shoulder length highlighted brown hair and a neatly trimmed goatee. On his left was a man with a crew cut, blue eyes and a physique very similar to his own. Chris immediately scanned the room until he saw the Lori and Amy then he promptly headed straight for them.

"Who's that with him?" Lori whispered eyeing the other two men curiously.

"Sean O'Haire and Chris Benoit. Isn't Sean a dream?" Amy gushed.

"Not bad, not bad but I still think Chris is a dream." Lori commented inaudibly as the guys reached their table.

"Hi there ladies." Chris greeted them. "This is Sean and Chris, they're my friends."

Sean extended a hand first to Lori, "Hello miss?"

"I'm Lori." She filled in for him.

Then he reached for Amy's hand and gently kissed it charmingly, "Then you must be Amy."

"Um..yeah." Chatterbox Amy for a change was speechless.

Lori elbowed her out of her daze.

"Sean, I love to watch you on TV." Amy regained her voice. "I'm a big fan."

"Oh really?" Sean smiled as the band began to play, "Thank you Amy. Would you care to dance with me?"

"Sure!" Amy smiled abandoning Lori with the two Chris's.

"Well then, I guess they hit it off." Chris Benoit commented as he reached to shake Lori's hand, "Please to meet you Lori."

"Glad to meet you too." Lori returned the gesture.

"Hey bud, I'm going to get us round of cold ones." Benoit told Jericho and then turned back to Lori, "Can I get you anything?"

"Ah.just a diet coke, I don't drink." Lori told him.

After Benoit left, Chris addressed Lori, "So I take it Amy filled you in on what I do?"

"Yes, she was really excited about meeting you today. I have to apologize but I've never really watched your program." Lori told him.

"That's why then!" Chris realized with a smile.

"Huh? Why what?" Lori was puzzled.

"Why you asked for an ID at the bank." Chris laughed. "I should know by now that not everyone watches us. But if you never have maybe you'd like to come see us live. I'm sure I could get some good seats for you and Amy if you like next time we're in the area." Then thought to himself, 'Man, I'm being too eager, what am I doing?'

"Sure what the heck I'll go sometime, Amy's got me curious." Lori laughed, "Gee Chris, you're awfully nice to someone you just met. What's the catch?"

"No catch. I think you are beautiful and I'd really like to get to know you better." Chris gazed at her intently.

"Oh." Lori gasped and turned red for the second time today. Thankfully at that moment Benoit returned with their drinks.

"Chris what did you do to her?" Benoit demanded sitting down the drinks.

Jericho ignored him, "Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you."

"It's okay." Lori stuttered, "No one has ever said anything like that to me before."

"Really?" Chris was surprised.

Benoit realized they weren't paying any attention to him and chuckled into his beer. "Chris, why don't you get off your lazy butt and take her out on that dance floor." Benoit poked him in the ribs.

"Would you like to-" Chris started.

"I'd love to." Lori answered quickly.

As luck would have it, the band started to play a slower number. Chris enveloped her into a close embrace. Chris was a divine dancer and Lori felt very comfortably in his gentle arms.

"I'm glad you came." Chris told her softly towards the end of the song.

"I'm glad to be here." Lori rested her head against his chest.

"Can I see you again sometime?" Chris asked.

"I'd like that." Lori looked up at his tender face.

"Looking' good Chris," came a whistle to his left as Sean and Amy came over to them.

Lori immediately blushed and turned away in embarrassment. Chris gave Sean a look that said ' Get Lost '

"Sorry man, I just wanted to say me and Amy, we're going to blow this place, all right?" He gave Chris a knowing wink that Lori missed.

Amy asked her friend, "Will you be okay if I go?"

"Yeah Amy, I will." Lori told her then turned to Sean. "Did you guys all come in one vehicle?"

"Yeah, I was just going to call a cab." Sean answered her.

"That's silly, why don't you take whatever it is you brought and I can give Chris and Benoit a ride back to the hotel." Lori offered.

"Thanks Lori." Sean smiled, "That's kind of you."

"Of course, no problem, uh..unless Chris doesn't want to ride with me." Lori glanced at Jericho.

"I don't mind at all." He smiled back at her.

"K. see you later then." Amy laughed and pulled Sean towards the doors.

"Oh no." Jericho muttered glancing over at the table where Benoit was sitting. Actually, Benoit was slumped over it by this point. "Looks like the fight he had with Janet was worse than I thought." Chris smacked himself in the head. "I should've been watching him closer.uh, do you mind if we leave now?"

"No problem Chris," Lori reassured him following him back to the table.

As they reached the table, Lori's friend Joe; a bouncer at the bar approached them.

"He with you two?" Joe eyed Chris curiously.

"Yeah," Chris muttered feeling the other man's glare.

"Want help getting him out?" Joe asked him.

"Yeah man thanks." Chris was grateful for the assistance.

"Where you parked?" Joe asked.

"They're with me, this way Joe." Lori led the way and held the doors for them as they exited the bar.

They loaded Benoit into the backseat of Lori's black Silverado pickup. Chris and Joe took a moment to regain their breath.

"Thanks Joe." Lori told him again.

"No problem Lori," Joe told her then turned to Chris, "Don't worry I won't say anything to the tabloids about this."

"I guess I'm the only one who didn't know who you were then, huh?" Lori chuckled.

"Hey Lori, be careful and have a good evening all right?" Joe hugged her and then walked back into the building.

"Are you two friends?" Jericho asked Lori.

"Yeah, he's being trying to get a date for years." Lori answered. "He's a good guy but he's just not my type."

"By the way," Chris had turned around and was admiring her truck, "Nice wheels!"

"Thanks." Lori giggled. "Want to go for a ride in it?"

"Can I drive?" Chris asked hopefully.

"Sure, what the heck." Lori laughed and tossed him the keys.

A short while later they had arrived at the hotel.

"Benoit! Come on buddy! Get up!" Chris opened the doors and attempted to rouse him.

By this time the alcohol had worn off enough that Chris was able to get him standing. Pulling one arm over his shoulders he pulled him towards the doors. Lori helped by holding the doors and pressing the buttons on the elevator. After they got to the room where Benoit was staying Chris opened the door.

"Wait out here, okay?" Chris told her. "I'll just be a minute."

"All right." Lori agreed and waited patiently while he got Benoit settled in.
