Chapter 11

Rae walked in the tiny restaurant and sat at a table in the back away from the few superstars that were there eating there lunch, needing to be left alone for right now, she order a iced tea then sat with her head propped up in her hand leaning against the table. I never should have believed what he said yesterday, I knew it was only going to end like this. She thought to herself as she watched out the near by window. I was just his mistress the one that he came to when his wife wasn't around, he doesn't love you if he did he would be with you right now instead of upstairs most likely on the phone with Mel. Just my luck I find the right guy for me the one that makes me whole and he's married to someone that he doesn't really love but he won't leave because of the kids. Yup that's how it always goes' Rae reached for her iced tea when the waitress sat in down in front of her and began stirring it with a spoon.

"I think it's mixed up enough don't you?" Rae snapped her gaze up to find Paul sitting across from her. "You look like you could use someone to talk to right about now."

"What makes you say that?" Rae asked with no emotion in her voice or on her face.

"Well it could be the fact that you have been stirring your tea there for the past ten minutes or it could be the fact that I've been sitting here since you order that tea and you haven't noticed." He reached his hand across the table and took her hand in his. "Come on spill what it is." Rae looked back out the window. "It has something to do with Dave doesn't it?" She nodded slightly fighting the tears once again. "Can I ask you something?" Rea nodded as she looked back at him. "Are you two still having an affair?" He whispered.

"We were, he just ended it." A tear slowly fell down her cheek.

"I'm sorry Rae I know that you really care for him."

"You mean you're not going to say I told you so."

"I would never say that to you." Paul moved to sit beside her.

"I kept telling myself that he doesn't care about me that I'm just his fun time when his wife was away, but I know deep down that he loves me, he just told me upstairs that he loved me and I love him. I don't know what to do Paul; he is the only guy that I have ever loved. He makes me a whole person when we're together, I don't know how I'm going to be able to go on." Rae couldn't hold the tears any longer she buried her face in Paul chest and cried softly.

"I know it's hard and I know that you love him, but I promise it will get easier to be around him with time." Paul rubbed her back soothingly then pulled her back to look her in the face. "Rae you are a very beautiful woman, hell if I wasn't married I'd go after you and so would many of the guys back stage. Trust me you'll find that someone else to come along and take away some of this pain." Paul wiped away a few of the tears that had fallen. "Or I could just go upstairs and beat the shit out of Dave until he left Mel and took you back."

"Could you really?" Rae laughed slightly.

"If I thought that I could Rae I would, but I don't think it's going to make any difference right now. I will tell you what could make a difference."

"What's that?"

"You be that strong independent woman you were when I first met you, you show him that you don't need him and that you are getting along just fine without him I can almost guarantee that it'll make him change his mind. I changed mine after Steph did that to me."

"I don't know if I can Paul."

"Sure you can, when you need someone to talk to or just to hide out with you can always come to me and Steph, you know we're right here for you no matter what." Rae nodded and gave Paula hug.

"Thank you Paul I really needed someone to talk to and I'm glad that it was you." Rae gave him a peck on the cheek. "Speaking of Steph where is she?"

"Right here, I know I'm late but traffic was crazy." Steph answered as she sat in the seat Paul had been in before looking at Rae's tear stained face.

Dave walked down into the lobby after he had finished his lunch feeling awful about what he had said to Rae. He stopped in the doorway of the restaurant when he heard the sound of her laughter, he turned and sure enough there was Rae, Paul and Steph sitting around one of the tables in the back laughing. Well she doesn't seem to be hurting. Dave thought as he walked back toward the table.

"I sit up in the room all by myself and I miss out on everything." Dave said as he sat down beside Rae.

"You just missed out on Paul's latest screw up with me in the bed room." Steph replied trying to calm her laughs.

"Isn't that an every night thing?" Dave joked.

"Ha ha very funny." Paul threw his wadded up napkin at Dave. "Babe you are ready to go?" Steph nodded and grabbed her purse. "Room 325 if you need us." Paul said to Rae before him and Steph walked off hand in hand.

"I guess we should be going too." Rae stood from her seat picking up her bag in the process; Dave followed standing in front of her.

"Why did Paul give you his room number?"

"He came down here and we got to talking and I told him a little about what happened, him and Steph said that if I wanted I could stay with them tonight since the hotel is booked solid."

"You can stay with me in the room I already have for us." Dave slipped his arm around her waist.

"That's okay I think I'll just stay with Paul and Steph, I wouldn't want to be a distraction or anything like that to you." Rae started walking out of the restaurant leaving Dave standing there looking after her.

"Rae I'm sorry if I hurt you but this is something that I feel I need to do, if I find out that things aren't working out with me and Mel I would like to pick up where we left off." Dave said once he caught up with her outside the hotel.

"Oh so I'll be your rebound chick, no thank you. I told you the same thing three months ago and then again yesterday on the plane but you just had to fuck me one last time and I gave in to all your promises and everything that you said like I always do with you, well I'm sick of being that girl. I'm glad that you ended it now I can move on to better things and get you out of my system. I hope you and Mel work things out, but if you don't, don't come back to me expecting me to just fall at your feet because it won't happen." With that said Rae opened the door of the rental car and got in almost slamming the door after her.

Later that night Rae gathered her things from the hotel room after the show and walked down to Paul and Steph's hotel room, once inside she changed in to her pj's then climbed into the bed next to Paul and pulled the covers over top her closing her eyes.

"You know Paul I bet this is a dream come true for you." Steph said just before Rae fell asleep.

"Being stuck in between my wife and her sexy best friend, you bet it is. I've dreamt this night would come and now that it finally has." Paul started to move his hand on to Rae's.

"You touch me and I'll beat you into next week." Rae threatened with her eyes still closed.

"Oh come on Steph is all for a three some why not you?" Rae heard Steph smack Paul on the back and laughed. "Okay so maybe I was wrong, a man can try can't he?"

"I just got out of an affair I don't think it's wise that I start up another especially since your wife is in the same bed as us. Not a good move. Now go to sleep Paul and keep your hands to your self." With Paul and Steph both laughing at what she had just said Rae drifted off to sleep, trying hard not to think of Dave.

Rae woke the next morning from a very restless sleep, it seemed like every time she got into a deep sleep she would began having dreams of what happened that pervious day and all the times that she and Dave had made love, she would force herself awake then would lay there and cry herself back to sleep. Rae just couldn't get to sleep and stay asleep. She looked at the clock which read five thirty-three, giving up on sleep Rae threw the covers off her and walked into the bathroom. She started the shower and stepped in after stripping her clothes off she stood there under the water trying to clear her thoughts again being unsuccessful, she began to wash her hair and body. She had her shower almost finished when she began to feel light headed and weak, she had been getting this feeling for the past week or so but it was only in the mornings when she got it, quickly she rinsed out her hair then grabbed the towel from the counter that she had laid out and wrapped it around her body. Carefully she stepped out of the shower and leaned against the counter with her eyes closed, when that didn't work she sank to the floor bringing her knees up to her chest and lowering her head slowly. 'What is wrong with me?' Rae thought when the feeling became worse; Rae laid on her side against the cold tile floor hoping that would help.

When the feeling slightly faded, ten minutes later, Rae grabbed her pj's and slipped them back on then slowly walked back out to the bed, gently she sat on the side of the bed and laid back hoping that she hadn't woken Paul or Steph. She closed her eyes and placed a hand on her forehead as the feeling began to grow stronger. This can't be from not sleeping, but what else could it be? Rae thought.

"Rae what is it?" She heard Paul's voice thick with sleep. "Are you okay? Why are you crying? Is it Dave?" She hadn't even noticed that she was crying.

"I don't know what's wrong with me?" Rae answered softly as she wiped away her tears. "I'm just really light headed and dizzy, I think I might be coming down with something."

"How long have you felt this way?"

"For the past week, I just need to get some sleep. I'm just run down that's all." Rae tried to come up with an excuse.

"Maybe you should go see a doctor when you get home, or better yet leave tonight go home and see your doctor tomorrow." Paul suggested sitting up slightly in the bed beside her, careful as to not wake Steph who was still sleeping.

"I'm fine Paul really; I just need to sleep in once in a while." Rae assured him.

"I'll let you off the hook today but only if you stay in this bed and sleep all day, don't worry about Dave and whatever it is that you have planned for him today, he's a big boy I'm sure that he can handle himself with you out for one day." Paul stood from the bed and walked over to the little kitchen area; he filled a glass with OJ and brought it back to Rae. "Drink this then go back to sleep. I can't have you dying on me." Rae did as he said and drank the juice then lay back against the pillows and closed her eyes soon falling back to sleep.

Rae woke a few hours later when the alarm went off on her cell phone; she rolled over grabbing her phone off the night stand beside her and shut the alarm off. 'I must really be out of it I don't remember setting the alarm on my phone.' Rae thought as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She placed the phone back on the night stand then noticed a piece of paper lying under her phone.

No you're not loosing it you didn't set the alarm I did, Steph and I had an early flight and we didn't want to wake you we figured you could use a few extra hours of sleep. I called Dave and told him not to bother you, you would meet him in the lobby around four, which should give an hour to get a shower and make yourself beautiful, not that you aren't already. If you need Steph or me just call our cell, I know you have the number, and we'll be there no matter time it is just call. We love you like sister, take care of yourself and behave.

Love,

Paul and Steph

Rae smiled as she read the note then looked at the clock, he was right for a change she had exactly one hour to get a shower and get ready, thank god she didn't take much of her clothes out of her bag at least she didn't have to worry about packing all of her things. Rae stood and walked into the bathroom, she felt a little better but not much at least she wasn't as dizzy and lightheaded as before. After her second shower she quickly got dressed, pulled her hair back, brushed her teeth, then grabbed her bags and headed downstairs to the lobby.

She stepped of the elevator hoping that Dave wasn't down there yet, he was always late Rae was convinced that he would be late for his own funeral. To her surprise he was waiting in front of the elevator when the doors opened, 'God he looks so good, this is going to be hard.' Rae thought as she looked him over.

"I was starting to get worried about you, Paul called me this morning and said that you weren't feeling well and then you're ten minutes late." Dave reached down and picked up her bags for her as she stepped out of the elevator. "Is everything okay?" Dave was concerned and Rae knew it, 'He really does care about me, doesn't he?'

"I'm just a little worn out; I haven't been getting that much sleep here lately. But I guess that'll all change now won't it?" Rae let the last part slip out with a little more anger in her voice then intended; she quickly looked up and saw the hurt look in his eye. "I'm sorry Dave; I didn't mean it like that. I'm glad that you are going to try and work things out with Mel, I'm just really tired and worn out right now and I didn't mean to sound like that."

"I understand Rae, I really do." Dave paused as they started walking toward the door. "You have every right to be upset with me for what I did."

"I'm not upset really, I mean I am but I understand." Rae and Dave stepped out of the hotel and onto the busy sidewalk in front. "I think it's just best if we forget about everything that happened last night."

"You know and I know that we can't just forget about everything that has happened." Dave took the keys from the valet and opened the trunk of the car placing both their bags inside.

"I know but we need to try." Rae opened the passenger side door and got in. "I have us booked in the same room for the rest of this trip; if that's a problem then I can get another room." Rae said as Dave got in the driver's side and started the car.

"I don't mind sharing a room with you Rae, we started as friends and that's how I would like for us to be now. We can share a room and I'll just sleep on the couch or floor if you want." Dave pulled on to the street and began the three hour drive to the next city.

For the start of the trip things were great they were talking and joking around it was like nothing had ever happened between them, just two friends on a road trip. Then about an hour into the trip Rae began to feel sick again, she felt herself becoming lightheaded and dizzy and if she didn't close her eyes and fall asleep soon she was sure that she would have to make Dave pull over so she could get sick. Not wanting that Rae closed her eyes and rested her head back against the seat, 'Maybe I just need to eat something, I haven't eaten anything solid since dinner last night.' Rae thought as she rested.

"Dave would you mind stopping to grab a bite to eat, I'm starving."

"Do you want fast food like Wendy's or do you want to stop at a restaurant and eat? Dave asked as he pulled off onto the exit ramp.

"Wendy's sound good. A cheeseburger sounds great right about now." 'That's strange,' Rae thought as they pulled into the parking lot of the local Wendy's. 'I hate their cheeseburgers, why do I want one so bad? Come to think of it I've been craving all kinds of weird food. I really need to see a doctor when I get home.' Rae thought as she closed her eyes and waited for Dave to pull into the local Wendy's.

Dave shut the car off and got out of the car then walked around to her side as she sat there lost in her thoughts and opened her door for her. Rae looked up at him and gave him a weak smile as she stepped out of the car, they walked inside the little restaurant, and the place was almost bare with the exception of the workers and four other customers's sitting in different parts of the restaurant.

"Do you want what you normally get?" Dave asked looking down at her.

"No," Rae glanced up at the menu. "I want a cheeseburger, fry and a frosty. I'll go find us a seat while you order." With that Rae left a shocked Dave standing at the counter.

'No salad or baked potato, there is defiantly something up with that girl, and I'm going to find out what it is before we go home in two days.' Dave thought as he watched Rae walked to the front of the restaurant and sit at a table by the windows.

After eating Rae felt a little better, she still had that lightheaded feeling but it wasn't as strong, so for the rest of the trip she tried to talk as much as she could with Dave, she didn't want him thinking that something was wrong with her the last thing he needed was to be worrying about her and her health when he was trying to put his marriage back together. They got to the hotel with an hour to spare before they had to be at the autograph session, Dave carried their bags up to their room after Rae checked them in.

"We have a little bit of time if you wanted to change before heading out." Rae said as she set her bag down on the couch. There really wasn't much to the room, there was a queen sized bed against one wall with the standard white blankets, a couch set off the side of that and there was a matching chair that sat beside the balcony door, across from the bed there sat a TV, DVD player and stereo in a beautiful oak entertainment center so you could lay in bed and watch TV late at night.

"I'm fine." Dave walked up beside her and placed a hand in the middle of her back causing her to stiffen under his touch.

"Rae are you sure you're alright? You just don't seem like yourself, I mean come on you ate a cheeseburger from Wendy's you normally won't eat anything from there unless it's a salad or potato."

"Dave I'm fine there is nothing wrong with me, now if you're not going to change then we need to get going. I would hate to see what those fans would do if you didn't show up on time and I would hate for you to have to fire me for not getting you there on time." Rae joked as she walked toward the door. Dave smiled and followed behind her slightly shaking his head, he knew there was something wrong with Rae and he knew that he wouldn't find out what it was until she was ready to talk to him so he might as well give up for now. However Dave Bautista does not give up easily, he would find out what was wrong with her if it killed him, and he hated to see her like this, she wasn't herself, and it hurt him more to think that it was something he did to cause her actions now.
