This will probably be one of my last updates before I go up to Canada but I promise that there will be plenty more once I get back because seriously what I am I going to do on a bus for twelve hours. I'll have plenty of time to write. Anyway things for all of the reviews, I'm loving it. I never thought that this many people would want to read my stories. I also updated my other story Never Alone for those who are reading that one too.
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Dave's P.O.V.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Jessie. She was standing in front of her hotel room with her back facing me.
I smiled to myself, quietly walked up behind her and put my arms around her waist. I felt her jump slightly before she turned around to face me.
"Love the greeting," she told me.
"Forget about the greeting," I smiled back at her. "So what's on the agenda for tonight?"
"Movies, pizza, all the fun stuff."
"Sounds good to me. So are we going to go in the room or stand out in the hallway all night?"
"Oh, I guess we can," she said and opened the door to her room. "I'll order the pizza. What kind do you like?"
"I don't care. I'll eat just about anything," I told her, walking over to the window and noticing it was starting to cloud up. "I guess it's a good thing we didn't go out tonight."
"Why do you say that?" Jessie asked, picking up the phone.
"It's starting to look kind of nasty outside."
"I heard on the radio that we're supposed to get some thunderstorms tonight."
I nodded and walked back over to the bed and lied as Jessie called in our pizza orders.
I stared up at her as she talked. I noticed she was dressed in just a pair of low-rise jeans and a t-shirt but she still looked as beautiful as ever.
"What are you looking at?" she asked, hanging up the phone.
"You," I answered simply.
"Why would you want to do a thing like that?"
"Because you're gorgeous," I smiled, pulling her onto the bed with me.
She laid on her side, quietly, messing with the small cross necklace that she wore.
I tilted her chin so that she was looking at me. "Why don't you believe me when I tell you you're gorgeous?"
"Because no one has ever told me that before," she said, softly. "No one before you."
"Well, I guess everyone else is either blind or just plain stupid because you are the most beautiful woman I've ever met. Both inside and out."
I could see her cheeks turn a bright crimson. I smiled to myself before leaning down and kissing her.
She was tense at first but then relaxed and put her hand at the base of my neck. I ran my fingers through her soft hair as our kiss deepened. My hands eventually found their way to the bottom of Jessie's shirt and started to pull up on the fabric. That's when she broke away.
"Dave…I can't do this," she told me, getting out of the bed.
"Jess, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that," I apologized, sitting up.
"It's not your fault. I just don't feel comfortable with that ever since…you know," she said, quietly, tears welling up in her eyes.
I nodded. "Come here," I told her, patting the bed.
She slowly walked back over and sat beside me.
"I promise I won't do that again unless I know you want to," I whispered in her ear as I pulled her close. I took in the scent of her hair…strawberries, very sweet strawberries.
Before we knew it there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it," I said and got up. I opened the door to see a kid about nineteen standing in front of me with our pizza.
"Holy shit! You're Batista!" he yelled.
"Yeah…um… how much do I owe you?" I replied, taking out my wallet.
"Ten seventy-five. Dude, what's it like working with Triple H and Ric Flair/"
"Just great," I told him, searching through the multiple bills but finding nothing lower than a fifty, "Do you have any change?"
"No, how much do you bench?"
"A lot," I answered, now somewhat annoyed.
"Is something wrong?" Jessie asked, walking to the door.
"No," the pizza boy replied. "Just getting to know Batista, but I'm sure you know him really well considering you're sharing a hotel room with him and all. God only knows what you were doing before I came here."
That was it. I took a fifty out of my wallet, shoved it in the guy's chest and took our pizza.
"I'll come back with your change," he smiled.
I handed the pizza to Jessie before turning to the kid. "If you come within a fifty mile radius of this hotel room ever again, I'll beat you within an inch of your life. How's that sound?" I smiled before closing the door.
"Stupid kids," I muttered to myself as I sat down next to Jessie.
She and I sat around, talking and eating until around one in the morning. By that time, it was thundering so loud, it sounded like we were in the middle of a war zone.
"It's getting really bad out there," Jessie commented as lightning lit up the room.
"Yeah, I know," I said, looking at my watch. "I should be getting back to my room."
"But don't you room with Randy?"
I nodded in reply.
"I don't think it's the wisest idea to share a room with him for a couple of days."
"I don't have anywhere else to stay."
"You can stay with me," she offered. "I don't mind. Plus, it'd kind of be some comfort, I don't really like thunderstorms."
"I don't know, Jess."
"Dave, it's only going to be for a couple days anyway, since you just had to go and get yourself suspended."
"Haha. Very funny," I said, sarcastically. "Only if it isn't a problem with you."
"What did I just tell you?"
"Okay, then, I guess that makes us roomies."
