Chapter 3The next morning, Whitney woke up to someone knocking on the door. "Delivery for Whitney Benoit" said a delivery man holding a vase of flowers.
"Thank you. Do I owe you anything?" asked Whitney getting ready to go get her purse for money.
"No. It's already been taken care of" replied the man as he handed Whitney the flowers.
After Whitney closed the door, she set down the flowers and started to look for a card to find out who had sent them. When she finally found the card, she read, "Hey sis. Saw these and thought of you. Happy Valentine's day. Love, Chris." 'How sweet is my brother' Whitney thought to herself as she got ready to hop in the shower and meet a couple of friends at the gym.
When she got out of the shower, she heard her phone ring, wrapping the towel tighter around her, she went to answer it but didn't get to it in time. Looking at the caller id, she saw that it was Grace who had called and knowing Grace the way she did, she knew that Grace would leave a message for her. "Hey Whit, I just wanted to let you know that Jay found a guy to be your date tonight. Call me back" was Whitney heard as she listened to her messages.
Sighing Whitney called Grace back. "Hey who's this guy that Jay found to be my date tonight? I'm just getting this feeling that he's gonna be a total jackass" said Whitney when Grace answered.
"Before you try and judge this guy, just meet him" responded Grace.
"Ok. Now I hate to cut this call short but I gotta go" replied Whitney.
"Mind if I ask why?" said Grace.
Chuckling Whitney said, "first of all I'm just in a towel and I told Jackie and Dawn a couple of days ago that I would meet them at the arena today and work with them and I'm running a little late" replied Whitney.
"Alright see ya tonight backstage" said Grace as they hung up with each other.
Whitney quickly got dressed and left almost running into someone. "I'm sorry" said Whitney without stopping to see you it was or find out if they were ok.
"Hey Whit, it's about time you got here" said Dawn with a smart-ass tone.
"Well excuse me, I had to call Grace back" said Whitney mocking Dawn's smart-ass tone.
"You are such a bitch at times" replied Dawn with a smile.
"I know but you guys love me for it" responded Whitney.
"So what are you plans for tonight?" asked Jackie as they started to work out.
"Jackie, you know what my plans are for tonight, I am going to dinner with Jay and Grace" answered Whitney.
"Easy Whit. I don't know if they had found someone to go so you didn't have to feel like the third wheel" replied Jackie.
Whitney looked at Jackie and said, "I'm sorry. It's just that I have a feeling that tonight is gonna be a total disaster."
Just as Whitney said that, Randy and Dave walked in.
"Oh my god. Randy doesn't have his thing with him. I'm shocked" said Dawn placing her hand over her heart in mock shock. Both Jackie and Whitney just shook their heads and laughed.
Randy spotted the three women and the looked at Dave and said, "I'll be right back. You can start to work out without me."
"Oh no. incoming" said Jackie when she saw Randy walking towards them.
"Ladies I can't help but over hear you laughing so I just had to come over and find out what was so funny" said Randy as he stopped beside Dawn.
"I don't think that any of your damn business" said Whitney.
"By the way Whitney I think that you need to learn how to put up a ringing phone, I called you last night" replied Randy.
"Yea, I know. I purposely didn't pick up the phone because I just knew that you were gonna rub in the fact that I don't have a date for Valentine's day and you do but you know what I do have a date tonight so you can just go straight to hell for all I care because you no longer have any control over me. Jackie, Dawn, I'm sorry but with his big ass head in here there's not enough room so see you guys later" said Whitney as she left nearly running into Dave.
When Whitney returned to the hotel and laid down for a while. That night on RAW everything went as it was supposed to and after the show was over Whitney said that she needed to go back to the hotel because that's where the dress she was gonna wear that night was, so they agreed to meet by her hotel room. Whitney was busy putting the finishing touches on her make-up when her phone rang.
"Hello?" said Whitney as she answered her phone.
"Hey Whit, your date should be there in about 30, 40 seconds" said the voice on the other end.
"Ok Grace, see ya in a bit" replied Whitney as she hung up and started to fix her dress.
Once again her phone rang, "Grace I'll be out in a minute" said Whitney a little frustrated.
"Whitney, it's not Grace. It's Dave Batista" responded the caller.
"oh my god. "I'm so sorry, I don't look at the caller id when I picked up my phone" explained Whitney.
"No problem. Could you open the door?" replied Dave.
"The door's open so just come on in" responded Whitney.
"I would but both my hands are full. I have my phone in one hand and something else in my other" said Dave.
"Alright I'll open the door in second" said Whitney as she hung up her phone.
Dave put his phone away and hid a box of chocolate covered cherries behind his back and held a single long stem rose out in his other hand. When Whitney opened the door, she was surprised to see Dave in a really nice suit.
"Here this is for you" said Dave with a smile as he handed her the rose.
"Thank you" said Whitney with a smile as she took the rose and placed it in the vase with the other flowers that she had gotten from her brother.
"And a little bird told me that these are you favorite" added Dave as he bought the box of cherries from behind his back.
"Thank you again. You know you didn't have to get me anything" replied Whitney.
"I know but I did because I wanted to" replied Dave.
"Do you mind if I ask you a question?" asked Whitney.
"Sure go ahead" replied Dave.
"Am I gonna be underdressed for the restaurant we're going to?" she asked feeling a little shy about asking him that question.
Dave looked down at her beautiful pink and silver dress and said, "No. You look perfect."
Just then Jay and Grace walked up and asked, "You guys ready?"
"Yeah just let me grab my jacket" replied Whitney.
"Here let me help with your jacket" said Dave as he took her jacket and held it so she could put her arms in it.
"Suck up" coughed Jay.
Grace looked at he husband then said, "what was that honey?"
Jay smiled then coughed 'suck up' again. Noticing that Dave was standing shaking his head, Grace asked, "Did we heard you say that Whit looked perfect?"
Looking at Whitney and noticing that she was turning ten shades of red, he said, "Yea that's what you heard me say." Holding out his arm for Whitney to take he added, "Shall we go to dinner?"
Whitney smiled as she took his arm and they started to walk down the hallway.
"Look at this. He's trying to act like a gentleman" said Jay.
"No I think he's just trying to impress Whit" responded Grace.
"Could you stop long enough so we can get to the restaurant?" asked Dave.
Both Grace and Jay smiled and followed them. Once they arrived at the restaurant, they ordered what they wanted and began to talk.
"Guess who called me last night the minute I crawled into bed" said Whitney.
"Who?" asked Jay.
"Randy" replied Whitney.
"What did the bastard want?" asked Grace.
"Wouldn't know. I didn't answer when he did. And then today when I went to meet up with Jackie and Dawn, he walked in and then has the nerve to come over and tell me that I need to learn how answer my phone" replied Whitney.
"You guys I'll be right back" said Dave.
They all watched as he left.
"I feel like such a bitch right now because I'm here talking bad about his friend" said Whitney.
"You're not the only one talking bad about Randy" commented Grace.
"What was the real reason you two wanted me to come with you?" asked Whitney.
"Well Jay and I have some good news. I'm two months pregnant" answered Grace.
"Are you serious?" asked Whitney.
When she that Grace was serious, Whitney said, "I'm happy for you guys." J
ust as she said that Dave walked up behind Whitney and held five long stem roses in front of her face.
"God, you scared the hell outta of me" said Whitney with a smile as she took the roses.
"Sorry. What did you guys talk about while I was gone?" said Dave.
"I told Whit that I'm pregnant" said Grace.
"I'm happy for you" replied Dave.
