Chapter Five - A Ride to Remember

I jumped into the car and Candice hopped into the passenger seat. I was sweating pretty badly. Mainly because the hottest Diva was sitting right next to me, in my car! And what a dump of a car it was!

"Nice car." Candice spoke. She looked around. I couldn't really tell if she was being sarcastic or not.

"Yeah right," I replied turning on the car and putting the heater on. It was pretty cold. She thanked me for doing so. "It was all I could afford really," I continued. She looked at me.

"Not for long," She laughed. "With the money they hand out in this business." We both laughed. I pulled out of the car park and hit the road. I took off towards the hotel. "I had fun tonight," Candice smiled. "And thanks for helping me out back there," She rubbed her wrist.

"That looks pretty sore," I motioned to her wrist where Angle had grabbed her. "It's kind off getting a bit swallow don't you think? Is it sprained?"

"I think so."

"You better get some ice onto it then when we get back." She nodded. She then put her hand on my lap. "But really, I am thankful for you helping me out and sticking up for me back there." I looked her in the eye, then placed my hand on top of hers.

I pulled up into the hotel's underground, near-full car park and parked the car into the V.I.P's section. Well I guess I am an important person after all. I jumped out of the car and ran around to the other side to help Candice out. She hobbled out and I took her hand. We then made our way over to the entrance.

"Great place this is!" My jaw hit the ground as I looked up in amazement as a tall, marble looking luxurious, probably 5 star hotel stood tall ahead of us.

"We do get treated quite nicely in this business," Candice laughed. "I beat your very glad your apart of it now!" I laughed and shook my head. We then entered through the glass doors and walked over to the reception. A good-looking receptionist wearing a blue outfit greeted us. We told her who she was and she gave us our keys.

"Looks like were right next to each other!" Candice pointed to her key. It read 52. I looked at mine. 54. I laughed. We both thanked the receptionist and then made our way over to the elevators. A flash looking lobby and a bar were parked across from the elevators. I wouldn't mind stopping there in the morning. I pushed for the elevator to go up to our level. The doors opened and we stepped in, greeted by some crap pop elevator music. The doors closed and it started to go up.

"This music is so disgusting." I moaned.

"Oh come on its not that bad," Candice laughed and started dancing. "Join in with me." Thankfully the elevator stopped and the door opened up. Candice looked a bit gutted. We both stepped out into a well-lit hallway, with beautiful pot plants lining up against the walls. We started to make our way down to our rooms. Tajiri and Rob walked past us. Rob gave me a 'your in!' kind of look and Tajiri laughed.

"What was that all about?" Candice looked a bit confused.

"Uh, nothing. Just being stupid I guess." I went red with embarrassment. She never noticed.

We reached finally made it to our rooms.

"Thanks for everything," Candice spoke looking me in the eye. "I had fun with you and the guys tonight. Mostly you though." She got a bit closer. I started to sweat from nervousness.

"Hey no problem aye. Anytime rea-" Candice swooped in and gave me a passionate kiss, too which I returned. She finished and I was left a little dazed.

"Good night partner, have a good night" She gave me a little slap on the face, then entered her room, leaving me a little bit flustered in the hallway. A smile started to grow on my face. Boy am I in with Candice! Is what I was left thinking as I entered my own room.
