Missed Chances

Chapter 3

"Stace, ready to go?" Rob questioned, knocking on the door to Stacy's hotel room.

"Yeah, just a sec." Stacy called back.

Seconds later she emerged from the room, wearing a short black miniskirt, black strappy heels and a red halter-top. "How do I look?" She questioned, weary of the answer she might receive.

"Amazing." Rob breathed, as his eyes looked her up and down. "I mean, you look beautiful Stace, not that that's anything new."

"Thanks." Stacy replied, a small blush reddening her face.

"We should get going, I know the perfect place to go, it'll help us forget all about our problems."

"And where exactly is that?" Stacy questioned, curious.

"Just a bar, kinda a club slash bar thing. We can dance, drink, and have fun."

"Sounds good." Stacy agreed, smiling widely. "Let's go!"

Nodding, Rob turned and walked to his car, watching Stacy intently, almost in a trance by her beauty. As they approached the car, he helped her in, then got in on his side and drove off.

*~*~*~*~*

"Here we are." Rob announced as he parked in the in the parking lot of the club. Stepping out of the car, he walked over to Stacy's side, letting her out.

"This place looks awesome, let's get inside."

Nodding, Rob led her inside, scanning the room for a table to sit at. Spotting one, he led Stacy over to it.

"So, do you wanna…"

"Rob!"

Turning at the voice, Rob sighed as he noticed Tommy walking towards him. "Hey Tommy, what's up?"

"Nothing, just wanted to grab a beer. Oh, hey Stacy."

Smiling warmly, Stacy nodded at Tommy.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Just hanging out."

"Ok, well I'll let you guys 'hang out' then." Winking at Rob, Tommy excused himself and went back to the table he was sitting at.

"So, what were you saying?" Stacy questioned.

"Um… do you wanna dance?"

"I'd love to." Stacy replied, walking past Rob, out onto the dance floor. Rob followed close behind, wanting to be near Stacy as much as possible.

As they made it to the middle of the dance floor, a slow song started. Grinning internally, Rob pulled Stacy close, wrapping his arms around her waist. In return, Stacy wrapped her arms around Rob's neck, looking him in the eyes.

"You know something?"

"Huh?" Rob questioned.

"I would've never seen this coming."

"This?"

"Me and you, here, together. It's so odd, but so amazing."

Rob could feel himself blushing. "Yeah, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, cuz I know I am." Feeling a jolt of confidence, Rob started to slowly lean in, getting closer and closer to Stacy.

"Van Dam, get your ass away from her!"

Jumping, Rob looked up, only to meet the cold eyes of Test (Andrew Martin).

"Andrew?" Stacy questioned, shock filling her voice. "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to claim what's mine." Andrew stated firmly.

"Yours?" Stacy questioned incredulously. "I'm not yours Andrew, you don't control me."

"So, we have a little fight and you go running to him?!"

"Drew, dude, chill out." Rob advised, noticing how people were starting to watch the scene.

"Fuck you! Don't you EVER tell me to do anything! I'm here to claim what's mine and that's exactly what I'm gonna do!" With that, Andrew grabbed Stacy by the arm, attempting to pull her with him.

Thinking fast, Rob grabbed Stacy's other arm, pulling her towards him.

"Guys!" Stacy yelled. "You're hurting me!"

Instantly, Rob let go. He never wanted to hurt Stacy. "Sorry Stace."

Andrew on the other hand, didn't seem to care. After a second's consideration, he again started pulling Stacy with him.

"Drew, let her go!" A voice from the crowd yelled.

All three looked in the direction of the voice, finding that it belonged to a tall, blonde Canadian.

"Screw you, Copeland. She's mine and he should've stayed away from her."

"Drew, you're not thinking straight. Stacy isn't yours, she came here with Rob. Now, let her go or…"

"Or what? What are you gonna do Adam, talk some sense into me? Screw that, and you, and RVD."

"Drew…"

"Just fuck off Adam, no one's in the mood for your counseling. Just fuck off and go back to jacking off or whatever it was that you were doing before. Me and my girl are gonna…"

Not giving it a second thought, Rob and Adam both went for Drew, each getting in a few punches before he finally let Stacy go.

"Are you okay?" Rob almost laughed at his question. Of course she isn't okay, you idiot.

"I…I'm fine." Stacy replied shakily.

Upon meeting her eyes, Rob noticed the tears forming in them. "Stace, I'm sorry for this. We shouldn't have come here."

"No… no Rob. I'm happy we did. I like spending time with you. I like you."

Grinning, Rob nodded. "Look, why don't we get out of here?"

"Yeah." Stacy agreed.

Sending Adam a thank you smile, Rob walked out of the club, Stacy right behind him.

*~*~*~*~*

"Here we are." Rob said quietly as they approached Stacy's hotel room.

"Yeah." Stacy agreed.

The two stood in silence for a few minutes, unsure of what to say.

"Um… I guess I'll let you get to bed or whatever. I don't wanna bug you." Smiling, Rob turned to walk away, only to be stopped by Stacy.

"No, you're not bugging me. I uh… I like having you here. And, I'm not going to bed any time soon, so do you wanna come in?"

Unable to keep the grin off his face, Rob just nodded, following Stacy in the room.

"So, what do you wanna do?"

"Doesn't matter, it's your room."

Nodding, Stacy plopped down on the couch, instantly turning on the TV.

Sitting down next to her, Rob felt compelled to just wrap his arms around her and hold her close. Unfortunately, he was afraid she'd push him away and tell him to leave.

Finally getting tired of the awkward silence, Stacy spoke. "Rob?"

"Yeah?"

"Just kiss me already, please."

Shocked, yet happy, Rob obliged, lowering his lips to hers and placing a soft kiss on her lips. Deciding not to pull away, he deepened the kiss, quickly getting pulled into the passion, letting himself wrap his arms around Stacy's waist.

Also getting wrapped up, Stacy quickly disposed of the hair tie that kept Rob's hair pulled back. As soon as the hair was free, Stacy began tangling her fingers in it, loving the feeling of his soft hair around her fingers.

Before he knew what he was doing, Rob had stood up, pulling Stacy with him, and walked to the bed. Laying her down carefully, he slowly began to pull at Stacy's top, trying to untie it. He found the act more difficult than he had expected.

"Here, let me." Stacy offered, untying the tie behind her neck.

"Are you sure about this?" Rob asked, giving Stacy the chance to change her mind. He didn't want her to anything she didn't want to.

"Positive."

Having his fears erased, Rob went back to what he was doing, pulling Stacy's top off, then going for the skirt. Within seconds he had managed to undress Stacy and himself.

Not able to keep himself from staring at her body, Rob grinned. "You're so beautiful."

Blushing, Stacy smiled. "Thank you."

Lowering himself down, Rob began to kiss Stacy, first her lips, then he cheek, then her neck, making his way down to her stomach. As he placed a small kiss on her belly button, he couldn't help but laugh as he felt her shiver slightly.

"Cold?"

Laughing, Stacy shook her head. "No, well maybe a little."

"I can fix that." Rob explained, pulling the covers over both of their heads.

*~*~*~*~*

"Stacy?" Rob questioned, turning over on his side. After all that had happened that night, him debuting, Stacy and Andrew breaking up, the fight at the club, then the two of them… making love, he just had one question he *had* to ask.

"Yeah."

"I just wanted to tell you one thing."

Looking up curiously, Stacy questioned him. "What's that?"

"I… I love you."

"I love you too." Stacy replied with a warm smile.

Satisfied, Rob pulled Stacy into his arms and drifted off into the first peaceful sleep he'd had in a while.
