Chapter Five
Midway through the re-cap of Randy's arrival to Hawai'i, Lita's food arrived. She explained quickly to her friend before setting the receiver on the bed. The redhead directed the rolling cart to the center of the suite, the food to be set on the table with the bottle of wine placed on the nighstand. After the bill had been signed, the redhead poured herself a glass of Merlot and settled back in to continue the conversation with Dawn.
"Okay..I'm back," Lita mentioned as she tucked the receiver between her ear and shoulder. "Now, where was I?"
"Something about a honeymoon?"
"Right.." Lita paused to take a sip of her wine, "Well here's what happened. I go downstairs, seeking out the services of the hotel .. ya know, take a tour or something and just as I step out of the elevator...I see Randy."
Dawn snickered from her end, "Has he seen the bill yet?"
The redheaded Diva snorted, "Nope and I can tell you now, he won't be happy about it. This suite is the one of the most expensive, in one of the more expensive hotels in the city. Plus, the room service-"
"And two long distance phone calls.."
"Yup..so no, he won't be happy about it, but oh well."
The brunette Diva shook her head, "So .. what happened next?"
"Well, after I got over my initial shock of seeing him there, I confronted him."
Dawn gasped slightly, "About the whole date thing?"
Lita rolled her eyes, "No you ditz .. about why he was in Honolulu. We haven't had the chance to talk about anything else yet."
"Why haven't you?"
The redhead paused to sip her wine again, "For one I really didn't want us arguing..that much..to start things off and for another, we had tours all day today. I mean, we're in Hawai'i. Even if he is one of the last people I wanted to see, I'm still going to enjoy myself."
"Ahh.." Dawn nodded in understanding, "So..where is he now?"
Lita laughed, "Well since he's so interested in dating other people .. I took the liberty of setting him up on a date tonight."
"With who?" The brunette asked disbelievingly, "Li I thought-"
"Let me finish," The redhead sipped her wine again, "I set him up with Larry."
"Who the hell is Larry?"
"He works here..at the hotel." Lita snorted, setting the glass down before it spilled. "He's gay and when Randy was looking for me, Larry was hitting on him like no tomorrow."
"Liiiita!" Dawn exclaimed with a laugh, "How could you do that to your own boyfriend?"
Lita smirked, "He's not my boyfriend Dawn .. remember? He and I are on a break."
"You know what I meant," Dawn rolled her eyes at the phone, "But .. now that you mentioned it, what are you going to do?"
"About what?"
"Duh..about Randy?"
The redhead shrugged, "I'll know after I talk to him later."
The brunette blinked, "You're pretty pissed off at him huh?"
Lita raised a brow at the phone, "What gives you that idea?"
"Well, it's just .. I figured you two would talk it over and reconcile by now. I mean, he followed you there."
"Yeah and?" Lita raked a hand through her hair, rising from the bed then. "What he did...it really hurt Dawn and I'm not about to walk back into a relationship where I'm second guessing my boyfriend."
"Yeah I know what you mean.." Dawn sighed into the phone, "How much longer are you staying?"
The redhead shrugged as she munched on a strawberry slice, "Not sure...not much longer though. We hafta be back for RAW."
The brunette snorted, "Yeah .. somehow, I highly doubt Bischoff would be pleased with that."
Lita smirked, "Bischoff can kiss my ass for all I care."
"I'm sure he would if you let him." Came the solemn reply from the brunette. "Oh, before I forget.."
"What now Dawn?"
"The wedding has been postponed."
Lita almost choked on her second strawberry slice. "What? Why the hell-"
"Calm down.." Dawn chastised from her end of the phone. "You know I wanted a summer wedding right? Preferbly late summer?"
Lita snickered, "Don't tell me you scheduled during Summerslam weekend."
Dawn rolled her eyes, "Well, now I have to find a month were there are no pay-per-views planned or a month when the rosters travel together, since we're inviting a good deal of people from both rosters."
Lita shook her head, "You are too much Dawn..good luck by the way, finding a month without pay-per-views..you'll have better luck figuring out when the rosters travel together."
"Thats what I figured." The brunette shrugged then, "So..now I have to pick the date, get the date changed on the invitations, inform the caterer, the photographer, the DJ, find a new place for the ceremony since it was supposed to be outdoors." Dawn paused for a breath, rolling of a new list of items afterwards: "Plus get everything else together..like the dresses and the flowers and-"
"So, why don't you hire a wedding planner?"
Dawn beamed, "Now why would I want to do that when I have the help of my bridesmaids and of course, my maid of honor?"
"You're kidding me right?" Lita set down the plate piled high with fresh fruit. "Dawn, didn't I tell you that spending that much time around Rob was detrimential to your brain?"
"Well.." Dawn drawled slowly, "Lillian, Victoria, and Ivory already agreed to help me."
"Then that should be more than enough."
"But what if it's not?"
"Daaaaawn!" Lita whined, "I know as much about planning a wedding as you do. And do you know how much that is? None."
"But, between the five of us.."
"Forget it Dawn, I mean we aren't on the same roster so we'll only have a few days a week to-"
"Lita please.." Dawn begged then, "I really need your help."
"Dawn-"
"I'll be your best friend."
The redhead snorted, "You already are."
"I'll make it up to you, I'll pay you..please Lita..I just need your help."
"Even though I have a feeling I'll regret this later-"
"Thank you sooo much!" Dawn gushed then, "I owe you big time Li."
Lita rolled her eyes, "You already owe me for telling Randy where I was."
"When is he supposed to be back?"
"Umm." The redhead spared a glance to the clock, "Around midnight-ish..which is 5:00 a.m your time, I think."
"Alright.." Dawn sent a glance to her own alarm clock. "Call me in the morning or something, okay?"
"Will do." Lita chirped brightly, "I think I'm gonna watch a movie or something...I'll talk to you later Dawn and tell Dave I said hi!"
"Yeah yeah.." Dawn rolled her eyes good naturedly, "Just refrain from calling after 11:00 again, okay?"
"I'll remember...bye Dawn!"
"Bye Li!"
Lita waited until the tell tale dial tone hit her ears before she hung up the phone. It was only going on 9:00 now, which meant she still had three hours to kill. And after she had piled another plate high with food, the redhead settled back on the bed. There had to be something on tv right now. Idly she switched through the channels, finding nothing on local programming or cable that was to her liking. Eventually, however, she settled on watching a movie on pay-per-view. And as she bunkered down for the next three hours, she spared a thought as to how Randy's 'date' was going.
