Chapter 9: The Start Of Something New
Nicole woke up the next morning to voices yelling, a door slamming, and more yelling. She rolled over and slowly opened her eyes. She looked around and noticed that she wasn't in her hotel room. She sat up, swung her legs over the bed, and walked over to the suitcase that lay on the floor. She bent and opened it up, realizing that she was in Batista's room, as it was his suitcase. She tried to stand up, but couldn't. She had a massive headache, and was a little lightheaded.
She slowly made her way to door; she opened it, and walked out. She sat at the nearest chair at the table and put her head in her hands. "You okay?" someone asked her. She looked up into the steel blue eyes of Randy, and nodded her head slowly. He pulled out a chair and sat down next to her. "You hungry?" She shook her head 'no'. He stood up and left, only to reappear a few seconds later. "Here take this" he handed her a glass of water and two Tylenol. "It always helps me when I'm hungover." He sat back down next to her, and continued to watch her.
She swallowed her pills, as she looked around the room. Their hotel room was gigantic. 'They rented out the suite' she thought. There were four bedrooms, one for each member, and they were all big. They had big comfortable beds, like the one she had slept in, and their own balcony. There was a kitchen, with a nice wood table, and chairs. She could see that the living room had two modern black leather sofas, a matching chair, and a huge plasma screen TV.
"You guys go all out," she said.
Randy laughed, "Well we can't be staying in some second rate hotel room; we deserve the best, because we are the best." Nicole smiled; she was starting to actually like Randy's arrogant ways.
The door opened and in walked Hunter, Batista, and Ric. From the looks of it they had been at the gym. Hunter smiled and shook his head, "Finally decided to get up didn't you?" Nicole looked at him, but didn't say anything.
"Come on, just leave her alone" Ric shouted as he made his way to his room.
Nicole looked over at Batista, who was downing a glass of water "Thanks for letting me stay in your room."
Batista smirked, "It was no problem, actually I quite enjoyed myself, and I'm sure you did too."
Hunter and Randy watched as Nicole tried to figure out what Dave had meant by that comment. It finally dawned on her, and she looked on with wide eyes, "Are you sure?"
"Oh ya," Hunter spoke, "You were screaming his name all night"
"I don't remember" she whispered embarrassed.
"I can always help you remember" Batista pointed out. Nicole looked at him, "What happened last night?" she asked.
"You were really upset." Randy began "we came back here, you didn't want to stay at your place with Stacy, so you came too. You had a little too much to drink, and then you were all over Dave. After a bit, Hunter, Ric and I went to bed, and you stayed with Dave. I'm not so sure what happened after" he finished.
Nicole stood up; her headache seemed to have diminished. She tried to remember last night, but everything was a blur. She felt like such an idiot. She didn't even remember sleeping with him; actually she felt more like a slut than anything else.
"Don't worry Princess, I'm sure Batista wont mind helping you remember" Hunter tried to stifle a laugh.
Nicole caught on, "You assholes! I can't believe you would do that to me; lie to me when you know damn well I can't remember anything. And you," she pointed at Batista, "ahhh" she walked over and hit his shoulder "you'll be lucky if I ever even fantasize about having sex with you ever again!" She stormed past them, leaving them all in a fit of laughter. She walked to the living room, and plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV. She flipped through the channels, noticing there wasn't much on. She finally decided on 'The PowderPuff Girls' as Dave walked over and sat next to her.
"So you fantasize about having sex with me do you?" Dave whispered into her ear.
"You only wish I do" Nicole said coolly, not taking her eyes off the TV.
"Come on Princess, I'm sorry. You know we were just screwing with you" he turned to face her. When she didn't reply he took the remote and shut off the TV.
"What the fuck. I was watching that." She sighed. "Fine okay you're forgiven"
Batista smiled, "Do I get a kiss?"
"Don't push your luck"
"So what really happened last night?" she inquired.
"Well, like Randy said you came to stay with us and you got pretty drunk so I let you stay in my room. I slept on the couch if you're wondering. You have to admit, it was a good joke." He chuckled.
Nicole smiled, "I guess, it was sorta funny now that I think of it. But don't you ever do that to me again. And that goes for all of you" she shouted. Nicole turned the TV back on and continued to watch the show. After a while she let her mind drift; she began to think about her friends, or the people who were her friends. She wondered what they were doing right now. The girls were probably shopping, and the guys were probably plotting some revenge against Evolution.
She stood and went outside where her fellow Evolution members were. She sat in the empty seat next to Hunter as she listened to them talk. They were trying to figure out what to do for the rest of the day. They had also decided that tonight they would go out to a club. They all looked at Nicole waiting a response.
"Helllooo, anyone there. Nicole," she looked up at Hunter with an apologetic look, "what do you want to do today?"
"I don't know" she replied. She wasn't really in the mood to do anything. Since she had woken up, she had been in one of her ugly moods. Her headache was gone, but she still felt all weird inside. She had been looking forward to shopping with her friends, but that had gone down the drain.
"Weren't you supposed to go shopping with your friends?" Randy asked her.
"Which friends?" Nicole asked bluntly. "I'm sorry Randy, I didn't mean to snap... again."
Hunter looked at her and sighed, he hated to see her like this. As much as he hated to admit it he didn't like seeing her hurt and upset. He knew how much it would hurt her to turn on all her friends; he just didn't think it would hit her this hard. He had put her up to this, and even though neither of them had pressured her into joining, he felt responsible for her being like this. She just looked so helpless sitting with her knees pulled up to her chin in nothing but an oversized Evolution t-shirt. It reminded him of when he had first met her, she had been fifteen, but she was much more beautiful now.
He wanted to make it up to her, he just didn't know how. But, it finally dawned on him, "Go take a shower" she looked at him confused, "were going to go shopping."
"Hunter..." she began to protest.
"No, we can all profit from this. I need some new stuff, and you wanted to shop. Go get ready."
"I don't have all of my stuff here. I need to go back to my room and get it."
"Alright lets go," Hunter said standing up.
"No," she placed a hand on his, "I need to go alone, just in case anyone is there"
Nicole rode down the elevator to the room she had shared with Stacy. She hoped that no one was there; she wasn't in the mood to fight with anyone. She slowly walked off and reached her room, she walked in and breathed a sigh of relief when she found it empty. She packed up all her stuff, double- checking that she hadn't left anything in the bathroom, etc.
As she placed her notebook into her suitcase, a picture fell to the ground. She picked it up; it was a picture of her and Chris. They looked so happy together. It had been taken at her 21st birthday party, five months ago. They were sitting in a booth at club Velvet, his arm was around her shoulders, and they were both beaming. She remembered that day so vividly; she had told all her friends she didn't want a party for her birthday, but they panned her a big bash instead. All of her friends had been there and she had been so surprised. She brushed away the tears that were starting to form in her eyes, and placed the picture back in the notebook. Heading for the door, she took her keycard and placed it on the small table. She turned her back and with one last glance around the room she left.
Within an hour she was ready to go shopping with the boys. Ric had decided he had "better things to do than waste his money" as he so lightly put it, so it was only Hunter, Randy and Dave who were joining her on her quest. She changed into a pale yellow Juicy Couture dress and a pair of matching yellow Chinese slippers. She pinned back some loose strands of hair, and they were out.
For about 4 hours they shopped in every store on Rodeo Drive. Randy, Dave, and Hunter had each picked up 3 new suits at Armani among other things. Nicole too, decided that she should buy a few suits, as she was now apart of Evolution. They then went to Christian Dior, Prada, and all likes where she picked up many new outfits. They then ventured into a newly opened Manolo shoe store and a Louis Vuitton store where she obtained a new purse courtesy of Hunter.
By six o'clock, the three men were tired of walking around holding dozens of bags. Hunter had never seen any woman shop so much in the matter of hours. She had spent so much money, but she didn't even seem to care about the prices. He watched on in awe as she paid $800 for a pair of Manolos. When they left the last store he called the limo to come pick them up. He then turned to face Nicole, but she wasn't there. He asked Randy and Dave and they said that they hadn't seen her. He searched and finally saw her looking into the window of a pet shop across the street.
He ran over to her and put a hand on her back as he too peered into the window, "Thought I lost you for a second"
She smiled up at him, "Oh Hunter aren't they cute."
She pointed to a small white dog that was looking at them, "So why don't you just buy one?" he asked.
She looked at him, "Hunter..." but before she could finish he had pulled her into the pet shop. Before she knew it, Hunter was buying her the small white dog from the window. She tried to protest with him, but finally gave in; she knew he was a very stubborn man and wouldn't change his mind. The saleslady informed them that it was a Bichon Frisee, and that it would not grow any bigger. Nicole walked out of the store with a big smile on her face, and a new puppy.
After arriving at the hotel, Nicole put all her new purchases away. She was very contented with what she had bought; it had been a good shopping day. She had had a lot of fun with Hunter, Randy and Dave. She hadn't expected to have that much fun with them. She looked over at the clock and saw that it was now 7 o'clock. She had a couple hours before she knew she should start getting ready for going out. She was a little tired so she decided it would be best to take a little nap.
She walked over to the living room, Tinkerbell- for that was what she named her dog- in tow, where Hunter was currently watching TV. She sat beside him as the puppy made itself comfortable on the carpet. She tried every which way to make herself comfortable, as Hunter looked on amused. He inwardly smiled as he continued to watch the show. Unexpectedly, he felt a pillow being placed on his lap, and then Nicole lay down placing her head upon it. He looked down at her and smiled and he began to stroke, and run his hands through her hair as she fell into a deep slumber.
Author's Note: WOW this chapter was really bad, yes I know. But its not my fault, I'm having some writers block at the moment. Hopefully next chapter will be better; it's going to be the club and whatever else. Review, thx.
