Chapter 20

About half an hour later I was fixing my hair, when there was knock in our door. Dave just grinned and I went sighing open the door. I was quite sure who there was, so it wasn't a surprise when I saw Chris and Trish standing in corridor.

"Christ Tinnie, what is taking so long for you two?" Chris asked.

"I.. We..." I certainly didn't want to tell to my brother, what the reason was.

"You are beaming." Then Chris watched me closely for few seconds. "For heavens sake, can't you keep your hands off each others for few hours?"

"Come on, Chris. Con and Dave clearly enjoy each others company." Trish laughed. "And if I remember right, you tried to get them together with any cost. This is the result."

"And you didn't catch us in the bed." I added before Chris had the change to say anything. That got him silent and I smiled a little.

"Are you coming to the club? Or are you too busy?" Trish smiled when Chris gave her a death glare.

"Yeah, we are coming." Dave came to the door also. "Wait a sec."

We followed Trish, who was grinning to us and my brother, who wasn't grinning, but he looked like he was really hard trying not to think, what I and Dave had just done before they knocked to our door.

Everyone else had already gone to the club and after Chris had called Jay and asked, where they were, we jumped to cab and drove there.

"Well, well. Con and Dave joined us also." Jay grinned, when we appeared to their table on the club. "What was keeping you two?"

"Don't even ask." Chris said dryly.

"Chris is still shocked, even we didn't interrupt anything." Trish laughed.

"So, you were having fun?" Jay grinned to me.

"Yeah." I blushed slightly.

I was introduced to Chris Masters, who had signed to RAW during my maternity leave. I had seen him on the telly, but we hadn't been formally introduced. Then Randy appeared to my side and smiled a little.

"So, you two came too. We thought that you would pass this night."

"Of course we came. I didn't want to miss this by any price. It's my first night after my leave." I smiled.

"You surely took your time."

"Just leave it, Randy." I sighed.

He smiled to me cockily and went to talk to Stacy, who didn't exactly jump for joy. I smiled a little, she hadn't exactly anything against him, but like she had said, she was immune for him.

I sat next to Dave and then everyone, who were on the same table started to ask about Caitlin. Naturally I was happy that they were interested about her, and I almost promised that I would take her with me next time.

After a while I wanted to go to dancefloor and because I knew, that I had no hope of getting Dave there with me, I went alone, though Amy, Adam and Chris joined me very soon. I had spoken with Adam earlier that day and we had made a truce, though I still didn't feel too comfortable around him. Then Chris Masters came to dance with us too, and he got very close to me. I just smiled and didn't pull back, because I didn't want to appear too rude to him. When I got back to our table, Dave pulled me to his lap.

"You seemed very close with Masters there." He whispered.

"You got jealous?" I raised my eyebrows. I found that very amusing, if that would been the case.

"Should I be jealous?"

"Well, I don't know. Masters does have quite good body..." I grinned.

"I guess he has... But I have a million dollar body." Dave smiled.

"Krhmm... I know. But that cockyness of yours just bugs me sometimes." Oh, how I loved to tease him!

"Your brother thinks that he is the King of the World and a huge rockstar. You have spent time with Randy, who is in love with himself." I saw that Dave was very amused. "And my cockyness bugs you?"

He had a point there, I have used to much worse cases of egoism.

"Don't forget AJ." I grinned.

"Oh yeah, the Phenomenon. How could I forget him?"

"I guess it's my destiny to live with cocky guys." I sighed. "But I know how to handle that kind of guys." I couldn't be serious for long and started to laugh.

"Yeah, you surely know how to handle us." Dave grinned.

We stayed in the nightclub for a while still and when we decided go back to hotel, I looked at Chris.

"Are you coming with us? I want to go to bed."

"Are you sure you two will go just sleep?" My brother grinned.

"Chris." I sighed, because I was very tired. "Leave it, I don't want to listen you now."

"Sorry, sis." Chris at least seemed to be sorry.

"It's alright. I'm just tired and I miss Caitlin."

"I think I'll come with others later. You two can go to sleep." Chris said.

"Alright. Let's go." I said taking Daves arm.

We went back to hotel and when I got my head to the pillow I fell asleep immediately.

Next morning when I woke up, I felt like someone was staring me. I smiled sleeply, of course I guessed that it was Dave. I turned my head and looked at smiling Dave.

"It's rude to stare a sleeping woman."

"Sorry, but I just think that you are so cute, when you mumble in your sleep."

"I don't mumble when I sleep." I said. Or at least no one had before said that I do that... But there is no way I could know it by my own experience.

"Yes, you do." He smiled on that cute way.

"Well, what did I say then?" I smiled a little.

"That you love me." Dave winked and then he kissed me.

"You've been dreaming."

"I think you were the one who dreamed." Damn! That man has always the smart answer!

"I don't have to dream anymore." I got a bit more serious.

"No, you don't have to do that anymore." He answered and kissed me again.

I had hardly got out of the bed, when I called to my parents and asked how Caitlin was doing. Our mother told me that she was doing fine and I shouldn't be worried. I wasn't so much worried, but I just missed her. After the call Dave looked me closely and stated.

"You miss her a lot, don't you?"

"Yeah, I do." I answered quietly.

"I know how you feel. I miss my daughers too." Gosh, he looked so sad that I thought, that I would burst into tears. After the breakfast we went to get Chris and Jay, who were coming with our car to the airport and when we got to the parking place, I looked to Dave.

"Can I drive?"

"No!" Chris and Jay yelled in unison.

I had been waiting that, they both knew that I have, should I say a bit heavy throttle foot... And Chris has never forgiven me, that I crashed his brand new Mercedes five years ago on a tree. The car was totally rumpled, but I escaped only with few bruises.

"You haven't been in her ride, have you?" Chris asked, when he saw Daves questioning look.

"No."

"You should thank God for that. Con is a crazy woman, when she sits behind the wheel."

"I'm not so bad..." I tried to say. "I can't help it, that sometimes I break the speed limits."

"Sometimes? You do it constantly. It is a wonder, that you haven't have to give up your drivers license." Chris snorted.

"So, you are a mad woman behind a wheel." Dave looked me smiling.

"I think those two exaggerate a bit." I stated.

"I don't think so. The first and only time when I sat on your ride, you drove the one- way road to wrong direction." Jay said.

I sighed, of course he had to bring it up.

"So, Dave. You should drive yourself everytime when you are with her. Or at least make sure that your insurance covers everything." Chris grinned.

"Alright, alright." I threw my hands up. "I won't drive."

"Good decision, sis." Chris grinned getting into car.

I just sighed and got to front seat next to Dave, who was driving.

During the next week I got used to my work routines quite quickly again and I liked to be back in work. I saw Dave basically daily basis and that was different too. Before my leave we had that weird relationship, when we both were very attracted to each others and didn't do anything about it, but now we spent all the free time we had together. Chris and others seemed also very happy about it. I missed Caitlin awfully and called to Winnipeg almost daily basis during the first week, though I knew that she was doing well in our parents care.

I was getting the first aid room ready for nights show and I was thinking that the last match of that night might be quite bloody, so I might have a long working day. In the other hand, I hoped that it wouldn't be so. The last match of the night was Dave against Paul in steel cage. In my experience Dave didn't bust his head, or anything else in that matter, open so frequently and in case Paul would be more seriously injured and in cuts, Matthew could take care of him.

Chris had the second match of the evening, so he came to me and I taped his ankle. He avoided of talking about that nights last match and it was wise decision from his part. I was a bit worried about that match, because if something unexpected would happen, I might have more work to do, thank God, Matthew was still helping me. Other wise that evening was quite peaceful, and about an hour before Daves match I went to his lockerroom and while we talked, I helped him with taping his knee and elbows. When I was going back to first aid room, I almost ran to Paul.

"Well, Constantine. Tonight is the night when I will regain my belt." He looked serious.

I sighed, I really didn't want to talk to him. Hell, I would been really happy, if I didn't have to even see him.

" I don't think so."

"I have much more experence from steel cage than Dave." He glared at me.

"You might be right." Actually he was right, but there was no way I was going to admit that to him.

"I am right and you know it. Dave has had his fun with the title, now it is my turn."

"You have had plenty of fun with that title." I snorted. "In ten different occasions, if I remember right."

"You little..." He came closer to me when I backed few steps.

"Alright, Paul. Leave my sister alone." When Paul turned I saw Chris standing behind him. How I didn't have seen him coming there?

Paul just shrugged, because Chris managed to look very frightening, and he had the match against Dave very soon anyway.

When Paul was gone, Chris put his arm to my shoulders.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I am. This wasn't the first time..." I snapped my mouth shut, because I remembered that I hadn't told Chris about that Pauls earlier 'I want my title back'-speech.

"I know. Glen told me." He said.

Chris came with me to the first aid room and we started to watch the last match together with Matthew and very soon Jay, Trish and Amy joined us. I was biting my nails almost whole time of that match, and when there was tight situations Daves point of view, I hardly could watch the monitor. Pauls face was busted open in one point and his face was bloody very fast. Dave managed to win the match and keep the title. When I, Matthew and Chris ran to them after the match, Matthew and medics took Paul on their care and I watched to Dave, who was sweaty and tired, but seemed like otherwise he was alright.

"It was quite a match." I said quietly.

"Yes, indeed."

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I am. I just need a long, warm shower." Dave smiled a little.

"Okay. I can wait you in first aid. I have to clean the room anyway."

Dave just nodded and went to his lockerroom. I went to first aidroom and Chris disappeared somewhere, though he came soon to first aid as well. I didn't see Matthew and Paul there, so I thought that Paul had been taken to hospital, he was in quite bad shape. When Dave was ready to go, he came to first aid, where I was waiting with Chris.

"Are you coming with us?" Dave watched at my brother.

"Yeah, Jay took the car." He smiled.

"Alright." Dave sighed and seemed a bit annoyed with it, but what can one do, when Chris decides that he will tag along? Nothing.

On the hotel Chris went to his own room for relief for us both, Dave and me. We got to our room and when I sat to the couch and opened the telly, Dave watched me seriously.

"You should stay far away from Paul."

I raised my eyebrows.

"What makes you say so? I am your trainer, by the way. It's my job to take care of him too."

"Little bird told me, that you have had two encounters with him after you came back to work." He looked worried.

"Is this little bird known by the name Christopher Irvine?" I asked, because if it was, I would kill this little bird.

"Maybe." Dave smiled a little.

"That little bird is dead bird walking." I said dryly. I didn't appreciate too much that Chris told these things to Dave, it made him just worry for nothing.

"But seriously, Con. Don't spend too much time around Paul." He was very, very serious again.

"Believe me, I won't. I have no desire to do that." Then I cuddled to his side and said the thing, I had been a little hesitant of admitting myself . "He actually scares me a little."

"Don't be scared, I'll be here for you." Dave said quietly.

Yes, he was now there for me, but how long?
