PART TWENTY-TWO
"What?" Randy questioned as he answered his ringing cell phone, not bothering to check who it was.
"And a hello to you to." Sage smirked.
"Oh Sage, hey babe." Randy greeted.
"Much better." Sage laughed. "Are you guys ready?"
"No, we're not dressed yet, we were watching some weird show on t.v." Randy admitted.
"Ok, when do you want us down?" Sage questioned.
"Um, say ten minutes." Randy shrugged.
"Ok, down in ten."
The girls then flipped on the t.v and ended up watching ten minutes of Spongebob. The girls sprayed themselves with their personal favourite perfumes and left locking the door, grabbing their purses and heading to the elevator. Hayley hit the button for the 6th floor and the girls waited.
"So, is this gunna be like our double dates in high school?" Sage questioned.
"You know it." Hayley smiled. Sage smiled back just as the elevator reached the 6th floor. They got out and went in search of Adam's room. "605, 607,...613, aha! 615!" Hayley smiled like a little child.
"No more sugar for you kiddo." Sage joked while knocking on the door.
"Wow." Adam commented as he saw Hayley first, "Ladies did you dress alike on purpose?"
"Cha, as if." Sage laughed, "So Adam where's your date?" Sage said hooking arms with Hayley.
"Your linked with her." he replied.
"No, Randy said you two were going together."
"And I think you make a great couple." Hayley added smiling. Randy soon came to the door and Adam was staring at him with wide eyes. Sage burst out laughing.
"So it only took you guys ten minutes to get ready?" Hayley asked. They both nodded their heads.
"You stink." Hayley replied.
"Why?" Randy asked.
"It took us over two hours to get ready." Sage complained.
"Oh, so I must be good looking if you took over two hours to get ready to go out on a date with me." Randy replied cockily.
"Ha, as if. Hayley's my date." Sage smirked as the two girls started heading to the car. They looked back and saw Randy and Adam eyeing each other wearily.
"We were kidding, geesh." Hayley replied as the girls walked back and linked arms with their respective men. The four soon made it to the parking lot and decided to just go in Randy's car. Adam and Hayley sat up front with Adam driving and Randy and Sage sat in the back seat.
"Hayz, p.i.a?" Sage questioned.
"Yep." Hayley replied. Randy looked at the girls strangely before going to put his arm around Sage. Sage noticed this so she pretended that she didn't know and lent forward. Randy a tad embarrassed by this pretended that he was only streching. They soon arrived at the restaurant which turned out to be semi-casual so the girls fit in perfectly. They soon ordered and were sitting at a table for four. Hayley accross from Adam and Sage accross from Randy. About halfway into the meal Randy excused himself to go to the washroom and Hayley soon followed.
"So Adam, what do you see in my buddie Hayz?" Sage questioned moving into Randy's seat beside Adam.
"She's the most amazing perso... What are you doing??" Adam exclaimed as Sage was running a hand up and down his theigh.
"Do I really need to tell you?" Sage questioned with a sexy smirk on her face.
"Sage, stop." Adam said removing her hand.
"Adam, it's not like you and Hayz are serious, and for that matter neither are Randy and myself so why not indulge yourself?" Sage questioned moving her face closer to Adam's. With that movement Adam closed the remaining space and kissed Sage. Sage soon pulled away and went to the washroom. As soon as she entered she was bombarded.
"So did he??" Hayley asked all anxious.
Sage's face fell when she had to tell Hayley the news. "Hayz, he did." Sage replied as tears started to roll down Hayley's cheeks. "Hayz, stay in here and I'll go tell Randy me and you are leaving and we'll take a cab back to the hotel ok?"
Sage questioned. Hayley could only nod. Sage stepped outside of the washroom and saw that Randy wad not at the table so she walked into the men's room. She saw Randy off to the side and walked up to him. And let's say she was greeted with a rather small suprise. (Get your minds out of the gutters people...) Randy was signing a little boy's book.
"Ahem." Sage cleared her throat. Randy whipped his head around and noticed Sage.
"Uh, Sage this is the men's washroom."
"I know, I just need to tell ya that Hayz and me gotta go. Emergency. We're taking a cab. Bye baby." Sage explains giving Randy a quick peck on the lips before going back to the table noting that Adam wasn't there, so she grabbed both her own and Hayley's belongings and retrieving Hayley from the women's washroom after covering up her tears. Hayley put on a fake smile as they hailed a cab and quickly got to the hotel. Sage and Hayley made it to their room before Hayley broke down crying.
"Sage what did you mean by he did?" Hayley questioned.
"He kissed me. But, I didn't stay to find out if he would of gone further." Sage admitted.
"Sage!" Hayley whined.
"Hayley, I couldn't do it. I just couldn't okay. I mean he kissed me isn't that enough?" Sage questioned.
"No."
"What do you mean no?" Sage asked.
"Ask him out tonight."
"We were all just out on a date."
"Ask him to a late night movie."
"Hayz, are you sure? I mean it don't sound like you're thinking straight."
"Sage just do it please!!!" Hayley pleaded.
"Fine." Sage agreed pulling out her cell and dialing Adam's number.
"Hello?" Adam's voice questioned.
"Hey Adam, it's Sage. I was wondering if we could catch a late night movie?"
"Sure, I'll come get ya in say ten?"
"Sure." Sage said before hanging up. "He'll be here in ten so you gotta hide so he thinks I'm alone." Sage informed her heart broken friend. "Hayz, maybe it was just one moment of weakness." Sage said.
"We'll either way we have stuff to work through." Hayley sniffled walking into the bathroom and shutting the door. Soon Adam arrived at the door and Sage left with him. They were silent the entire time until they had to choose a movie.
"Um, what about The Notebook. I mean I never got to see it and the theatre still has it." Sage suggested.
"Sure." Adam said as he paid for the tickets. And the two entered the darkened theatre. It tured out that they were the only ones there for the midnight showing.
"Adam, I lied." Sage commented.
"About what?"
"About me not having seen the movie, I just really wanted to talk to you."
"Look, Sage if it's about what happened earlier I can explain."
"Okay, go ahead. But, just so you know either way I like you."
"Sage, I'm not really ready for a rock solid relationship. When I met Hayley she seemed so innocent but, at the same time sweet and smart. And that reminded me of Alanah. I mean that's how Alanah was, and then she cheated on me. So when me and Hayz got together, I wasn't fully over Alanah and so I started to invision Hayley as Alanah. And today it just came in like this big rush. I could just picture Hayley as Alanah and since Alanah had cheated on me I had to do something back." Adam stated sadly.
"Thank god!" Sage muttered with a breath of relief.
"You mean, you don't really like me?" Adam questioned.
"Sorry Adam, but, I don't go for the whole "old man" type." Sage joked.
"Hey!" Adam protested as the two just watched the rest on the movie in silence and yes, even big-bad Adam Copeland shed quite a few tears.
It had been two days since the whole Adam incident and Hayley had yet to talk to him. Although Adam had yet to find out that Hayley was avoiding him. Sage and Hayley were in the arena's catering area.
"Come on Hayz, smile for me, I mean it is my birthday." Sage asked. Hayley had to smile at that comment, it reminded her of a little incident when they were in highschool. "That's my Haybe." Sage smiled calling Hayley by a childhood nickname that Sage had given her when she couldn't pronounce Hayley yet. The girls then headed back to the women's locker room. The girls walked in and Sage notivced a bunch or roses by her cubbie area. She read the note mentally.
'Sage. we're gunna play a little game of Find Me. Ever heard of it? Probably not because I just made up the name cuz' I couldn't remember the real one. You will be on a search for clue's and each clue you find will bring you one step closer to me. So here's clue number one. I am somewhere cold.'
"What kind of clue is that??" Sage pondered.
"Clue?" Hayley questioned.
"Yea, someone's sending me on a hunt. I guess I'll go looking, if you'll be okay by yourself for the night." Sage stated.
"I'll be fine." Hayley said waving Sage out of the room.
"Somewhere cold....hmmm.... the catering fridge!" Sage exclaimed as she ran off. Sage cut her way through the line and found clue number two there. She read it.
'Hmm, I didn't know if you would get this one but, you're a smart little girl so here's clue #2, I am somewhere that can go far or go near, but when you find clue number three you gotta get the heck outta here.'
"My car." Sage responded as she ran to the locker room to collect her things and left for the parking lot. She soon found her car and got inside, that's when she noticed the clue on the dash.
'You found me! Now onto the next clue. Take this car for a ride and stop when you find the place where it is always day and the sun always shines.' Sage drove for about fourty-five minutes before finding the right place. "Days Inn." she muttered as she pulled into the parking lot. "Hi, my name is Sage Nael and I believe my friend booked me a room here. Am I by any chance right?" Sage asked the hotel clerk.
"Ah, yes, Miss Nael we've been expecting you. Here's your key the clerk said handing it to her and leaving. Sage automatically went into the elevator and looked at her key card, the number was smudged. Sighing she hit the button for the first floor.
