A/N: Thanks to all of my reviewers. I hope you enjoy. I know this chapter is a little short but it took a while to get back in the groove of things.

Side note: Yes, it was a flashback and its timing probably makes little sense but it does lead somewhere...

Chapter 4

-

He woke up around seven the next morning. He had hoped he could sleep in but his body had gotten used to the routine of traveling and he often woke up before his alarm ever went off. He slowly got out of bed and made his way to the shower. He took his time getting undressed and getting in the shower. It had been a long while since he had so much time to pass.

He stepped in the shower and wondered how he could spend the next six hours; after all it only took him a few minutes to get ready. He stood under the steamy water for quite some time. He thought about the events of the last few days and the girl he would be spending time with that night. He was suddenly dragged out of thought by the annoying sound of the phone ringing. He stepped back from the water and dried his hands before answering.

"Hello?"

"Hey Dave," he would recognize that voice from anywhere it was Randy's.

"Hey,.. um what are you doing calling this early. You're never up before eight thirty..."

"Well..." the younger man paused as he thought. "I was just wondering how things went last night..."

"There's not much too tell..." Dave said in an attempt to make the curious one leave him alone.

"Um... Well, I guess that means you don't want to talk about it?"

"Not right now... I'm in the shower," Dave in response to the disappointment he had heard in the younger man's voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Want me to call back later I suppose," Randy said quietly.

"Or you could just meet me for breakfast..." Dave offered. He knew that having breakfast with Randy would pass at least an hour or two. The boy believed in eating and he believed in taking his time as well... not to mention he was quite the gossip.

"Great, call me when you're ready. I still have to hit the shower too," Randy said happily. Dave shook his head. Randy was serious when it came to wrestling but he often left Dave feeling like a babysitter.

"Will do," Dave said desperately wanting to get off the phone.

"Bye."

"Bye."

Dave laid the phone down on the counter then moved back under the steamy water.

Twenty minutes later he was ready to go and had already called his blue eyed friend. He heard a knock at the door after a few moments. He opened it and quietly exited. It was hardly who he had expected but, he didn't mind.

"Hey Chris, what are you doing here?"

"Ames and I decided to stay here last night. So where are you headed?"

"Eh, Randy was dieing to talk to me about the other Randi," the big man said in a slightly annoyed manner.

"Oh..."

"Yeah, I'm going to have breakfast with RK then hit the gym," Dave said.

"Breakfast, with Randy? Are you feeling ok?"

"Well, I've got about five hours to kill before I call Randi back so..."

"Oh... that's why..."

"Yeap. We're going on a date tonight," Dave stopped when he spotted Randy.

"Hey," the tall young man said as he approached.

"Ready to go," Dave asked just after the young man stopped.

"Whenever you are," he said. He was happy that he wouldn't be eating alone this particular morning.

"See ya," Chris said to his coworkers as he headed back towards the room he and Amy shared.

"Bye," Dave said to the short blonde.

"Later, CJ," Randy called down the hall.

'What should I wear,' she thought as she gazed into the dark closet wearing nothing but a towel.

"I think you should wear the purple pleaded skirt and the Motley Crue shirt you made last week," a voice came from behind her. She jumped. Her green eyes opened wide as she stared at the figure who sat on her bed…

"When did you get in," she asked the red head.

"About an hour ago," was the response she received.

"Next time try not to give me a heart attack."

"I'll try."

"Good," she said before turning back to her closet. She grabbed the skirt and the black tank top her best friend had suggested. It was about that time she realized she had not actually asked the question. She glanced at her friend over her shoulder before reaching for a studded belt and a pair of knee high army boots. She then moved to get a black bra and thong set and a pair of socks. She then disappeared into the bathroom.

"... and that was what happened last night with me and Randi."

"Um k. Well..."

"So what happened on your date last night?"

"Well we decided to go grab a bite to eat."

"Where did you go," Dave asked. His mind was already starting to wander from the conversation.

'I wonder what she'll be wearing tonight...'

"...When we got there..."

'She just looked so amazing... I wonder if she would like to go out to eat or something before the show... after all bars don't really have great food...'

"... and so then we..."

'Wow the Whiskey... I've heard a lot about that place... Many big names have played there..."

"... Phoebe and I talked about..."

'He really can talk forever, can't he? I think I'll ask him to help me figure out what to wear after he finishes his spill...'

"That was the greatest date of my life. I seriously need to thank CJ," he said smiling.

"I'm glad it went so well."

"Thank you."

"Say, RK, you wouldn't be interested in hanging out with me for a while would you?"

"Why? What do you have in mind?"

"Well, I was planning on going to the gym then I was gonna get ready for my date tonight with Randi."

"Sounds like fun to me."

"Alright, well what's the damage?"

"Thirty-two fifty."

"I almost forgot how much you eat," Dave laughed. Randy tried to act as though he were offended. That soon failed and he began to laugh as well.

"C'mon man let's go," Randy said after they had stopped laughing. "After all you wouldn't want to be late for the date..."
