I woke up later my cell phone ringing. I woke up and looked at the clock. It was 4:00 pm. I had slept all day. I looked at the phone. The screen was flashing Steph. I answered it.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey, you want to grab something to eat?" she asked me. I groaned. I wanted to say no, but waited to see where and who.
"Who is going?" I asked her.
"Paul, Dave, Ric, Randy, Dad, Mom, and me." she told me.
"Yeah, when are you going?" she asked me.
"We are leaving around 6." she said.
"Fine. I will see you at 6." I told her.
"Want to get ready with me?" she asked me.
"Sure, but I need a shower. So let me get one and I will come over." I told her.
"Ok, come over when ever." She said. We said goodbye and hung up. I got into the shower and let the warm water run all over me. My heart was broken and my body hurt. I was so tired. I took a shower and put on some clothes. I put on a jeans and a black top. I walked over to Steph and Paul's room. She answered the door and pulled me in.
"You look cute." she said. I just sat down.
"Honey, are you ok?" she asked me. I sighed and looked at her.
"Ok, dumb question. I know you aren't great, but it will be ok." she told me. I knew it would be, but it just didn't feel like it.
"Come on. Let's put on some make-up." she said. I knew I needed it so I walked into the bathroom with her. She turned the radio on and we were putting on make-up. The song "I will survive" came on. We started dancing and singing. We didn't realize that they guys, and her parents had come in the door. I was dancing and looked outside. I saw Linda looking at me. I screamed. Steph froze. She peeked outside and waved. She leaned back in the bathroom and we were laughing so hard. Linda walked over.
"Are you two sure you want to go with us? You seem to be having fun." she asked us. We were laughing.
"We are almost ready." I told her. We finished and walked out.
"Nice dancing. Maybe you two should perform in between matches." Vince said as we walked to the elevator.
"Iris can!" Steph said. I hit her.
"You know that might fit into the storyline." Linda said.
"How?" Randy asked.
"She is in Evolution and we do whatever." Paul said.
"I know! She can participate in a dance off between her and Trish for Dave!" Ric said. I was in the corner of the elevator about to die.
"Good idea! You can do that tomorrow night." Vince said. I sighed and glared at Steph.
"What?" she asked me after seeing my expression.
"Yeah, great idea to turn on the radio!" I told her. They were laughing. We all got into cars and went to a nice restaurant.
I rode with Dave, Randy, and Ric. I had fun. We were goofing off. Dave was driving and I was sitting in the back with Randy. Dave kept looking back at me.
We arrived at the restaurant and went in. The entire restaurant was reserved just for us. We were eating and talking. I was having fun until I heard the song that was playing the first time I danced with John. I just sat there. I grabbed a shot and took it. Randy looked at me.
"I was going to take that." he said. I shrugged.
"Get another one." I told him. Vince ordered a lot more shots. We ended up taking shots; except Steph and Linda. I was so buzzed. I loved it. The music started playing and the song was "Infatuation" by Christina Aguilera. I just sighed. Paul asked Steph to dance, Linda was dancing with Vince. I was just sitting there. Ric had already left. He was flying home tomorrow to see his son get married. Dave was on the phone with his ex-wife. I just sat there. Randy got up and pulled me with him.
"Dance with me." he said. I just looked at him. He pulled me onto the dance floor. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. I was glad that I was dancing with him. He was being so sweet.
Paul POV
I was dancing with Steph and having fun. She was beautiful, but I couldn't wait until she was over being pregnant. I looked over and saw Linda and Vince. I smiled and then saw something I really didn't think I would see. Randy was dancing with Iris.
What the fuck? Where the hell is Dave? I thought to my self.
"They look cute." Steph said.
"I guess, but he is just as bad as John." I told her.
"Paul, they are dancing, NOT dating." I told her. She was right, maybe Randy was just being a gentleman. I let it go. We continued to dance. I looked over again and saw Dave sitting at the table. He was watching Iris.
Dave POV
I hate my ex-wife; that is why she is my ex. I miss my girls. I wish she would just let it go. I walked back in from having another fight on the phone. I saw Iris dancing with Randy. She was beautiful, but she deserved better. I wanted to date her so bad, but I didn't because I would be helping Paul. He was getting on my nerves. I wanted to get away so bad! Randy and Iris were coming to sit down.
Iris POV
I was done dancing with Randy. He was so sweet. I saw Dave at the table. He looked upset, so I figured he had another fight with his ex. He was just sitting there.
"Come on. You have to dance with me." I told him. He got up and went to the dance floor with me. He wrapped his arms around me. I loved the feeling I got when I was in his arms. I felt safe, comfortable, and wanted. I felt safe and wanted in John's arms, but I always wanted to make sure he wasn't cheating on me. I just danced with Dave. He held me close.
"You look beautiful." he whispered in my ear. I smiled and looked at him. He tucked some hair behind my ear and kissed my cheek. I felt as if we were the only two people in the room. Everyone else had disappeared.
"I want to talk to you tonight." he told me. I nodded. We eventually sat back down. The rest of the night went fine. We got back to the hotel around 9:30.
I was walking down the hall behind everyone else with Dave. I saw John talking to Chris and they were right across from my room. I was glad I was going to Dave's room. We walked passed them to Dave's room. Dave took my hand and held it as we walked past them. John glared at him. We stopped at Dave's room and he opened the door for us. He pulled me in and shut the door.
Once the door shut, I wasn't ready for Dave to what he did.
