The wrestling living community was peaceful, sunny, and full of relaxation. It was where wrestlers could be themselves and not get bogged down doing kayfabe interviews and appearances. It was a place that overzealous wrestling fans wouldn't harass them on a constant basis. It was place that the wrestlers felt it was their own secret hiding spot.

But to the rest of the world, it was known as Tampa, Florida.

Kicking off the start of the summer, Christian had a BBQ at his home. Many wrestlers from both the WWE and TNA joined in mid-week celebration of good times, good food, good liquor and potential drunken hook-ups to be forgotten the next day.

As Rae relaxed a little in the shade, she was joined by Candice Michelle. To the best of Rae's knowledge, Dave hasn't fucked her—yet. "What's going on, Ms. Rae?"

"Nothing much, how are you, girlie?"

"Nothing, just chillin'." She said as she took spot on nearby chaise. "So…any truth to the rumor of you and Dave?"

"Truth to the rumor? Oh, wait. Let me guess…we're fucking, aren't we?" Rae asked as Candice nodded. "That's it! Tomorrow, I'm going out and getting a T-shirt made that reads, 'Yes, I fucked him too' so there are no more questions!" Rae then rolled her eyes.

Candice laughed. "Sweetie, you have to admit, you knew people were going to start talking about you when you guys started to live together."

"Live together? Live together? No, Dave is temporarily staying with me until he gets his own place."

"Rae, it shouldn't take a man a month to find an apartment around here." Candice added. "Maybe, just maybe…."

"Out with it, Candy."

"Maybe," She smiled, "Dave wants to live with you."

"Maybe." Rae shrugged. She never noticed the fact that it has been a month since Dave showed up on her doorstep nor did she mind. As a matter of fact, she loved having Dave around and could spend hours upon hours snuggling up with him in bed.

Mickie James took a spot on the chaise next to Rae when she saw Lilian Garcia had arrived. "Ugh, I can't stand that bitch."

"Lilian?" Trish questioned as Mickie nodded.

"She's a fucking slut. She loves to act like she's this high and mighty Christian woman, but she's a slut just like the rest of us." Mickie sneered as she looked at Lilian. "Fucking Mariah Scary has-been."

Rae tried to contain her laughter for it was true. She always thought Lilian was too pretentious for her taste. "What? She's not a good little girl in her high heeled boots and short skirts with the barely hanging on halter tops?"

"Barely hanging on because there's nothing there for it to hang on to!" Candice continued as Victoria and Torrie erupted into laughter. "Ask her how she got the job and I will bet money it wasn't because of her…"

"Her singing abilities?" Ashley smirked.

"More like her screaming abilities from what I've heard." Michelle McCool added. "Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhhhhh! I'm fucking coming!" She mocked as all the women erupted into laughter.

"Hi Rae!" Lilian walked over to her. "How's it going?"

Rae smiled. "It's going. How are you?"

Lilian smiled back. "I'm doing well. Say, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"That should be the most enlightening conversation." Victoria muttered before Maria slapped her knee.

"Sure, let's chat over here." Rae said as Lilian followed her to a private area. "So what's up?"

"Um," Lilian turned around and looked at the other Divas, who were watching her and Rae. "I don't want to cause a scene here but I'm just curious."

"No, I'm not sleeping with Dave."

"Oh, I didn't think you were. You're not really his type anyways."

Excuse me? Rae thought.

"I was wondering if Dave has mentioned anything about dating again." Lilian inquired.

"Um, no not really. He's still going through the divorce so I doubt it'll be a while before he dates anyone, really."

"Oh, I see. Well, could you keep me posted? I don't want a good man like him get away!" Lilian smiled.

Rae nodded. "Uh-huh, sure. I'll do what I can, Lilian."

"Thanks, Rae!" She hugged her and walked off.

Rae stood in the entryway to the house. She knew that Lilian would never have a chance with Dave but she wasn't too concerned about that. She was more upset at what Lilian said to her.

And what makes you think I'm not his type?

-------------------------------------

If Rae thought she was getting harassed by the Divas, it was nothing compared to the conversations the men were having with Dave. As the men gathered around the grill, it was also time for Dave's grilling from them.

"So let me get this straight…" John said as he took a sip of his Bud Light. "You and Rae—one of the hottest females I have laid eyes upon—are not fucking?"

Dave took a sip of his beer. "No, we're not."

"Dude, are you gay?" Carlito asked.

Dave did a slow head turn towards the younger Superstar as all of the men slightly stepped back. "Who told you to speak?" Hunter commented to him.

Christian chuckled. "As stupid and naïve the kid may be, Dave, he does have a point. I mean, look at her." He motioned towards her.

"And dude, you've been staying with her a month? And you haven't hit that?" D-Von Dudley said.

"It's not that I don't want to, alright?" Dave said as he glanced at Rae and smiled at her. "Now isn't the time."

"When is the time?" Edge asked. "I mean, she's pretty tasty and she's not going to wait around for you forever."

"I'll taste her any day of the week." Carlito commented.

Hunter looked over at the younger wrestler again. "One more comment and I will knock your nappy ass out."

Carlito nodded and stepped aside as Chris Jericho laughed. "Oh, the fresh meats are just getting smarter and smarter nowadays. Fifty bucks say three months from now Vince will be wishing him the best in his future endeavors."

"Hey, Chris, you're not being fair." Hunter chimed in. "You gotta give the talent waste at least six months."

---------------------------------------------

"They're talking about you, Rae." Maria nodded towards the men's direction.

"How can you tell?" Victoria asked.

"Well, they keep doing this." Maria made a motion with her hands that was the universal symbol for a hourglass shape, with strong emphasis on the chest. "And let's be honest, between the five of us, she has the bigger tits."

Rae didn't bother to look over. "Well, I should probably give them something to talk about, huh?" She then walked over to the fruit bowl and grabbed a banana. She then pretended to make conversation with the Divas. "Now ladies I'm about to teach you all a lesson on how to give a man blue balls.

"First, you slowly peel the banana off and toss it away like this." She demonstrated. "And then you take this whole banana and stuff it in and ease it out of your mouth, like so." As Rae slowly moved the banana in her mouth, the area where the men were standing became noticeably quieter.

"Wow." Edge commented.

"That's fucking fantastic!" Shelton Benjamin said, his mouth still wide open.

"And finally, once you got all of their attention." Rae said, delicately still holding the banana. "You squash this motherfucker to bits!" She put the banana down and began stomping on it, erupting loud disappointment from the men.

Dave just smirked. He had already seen the trick before but he still appreciated it.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night, Dave and Rae retired back to her apartment where they both collapsed on the sofas. The summer kick-off BBQ definitely wore them out. "I think I ate too much food, Dave."

"When did you eat? Every time I looked over, you had a margarita in your hand."

"Well, I think I drank too much, Dave." Rae corrected. She slightly sat up and faced him. "And in case you haven't heard the word, we're officially fucking and in denial."

"Oh yeah, I got questions all day."

"Oh? Like what?"

Dave shook his head as he remembered all of the questioning. "Not important."

Rae rolled her eyes. "I haven't been harassed so much since people begin to wonder about my last name."

"Rae, in all due respect, not too many biracial girls have Schaffer for a last name."

Rae hiccupped before she began to speak. "Well, not too many Greek men have Bautista for a last name but you don't see anyone trying to dissect your ethnic makeup."

Dave nodded. "And I think it's time for someone to go to bed now."

"I don't wanna."

Dave picked up Rae and carried her to her bedroom. "It's time to go night-night."

"I'm not a little kid, David."

Dave laid Rae on the bed and began to undress her. He took off her capris and covered her up with the sheet. "Good night, Rae."

"David?"

"Yes?"

"Lilian wants to suck you off."

Dave bit his lip to contain his laughter. "Okay."

"And David?"

"Yes?"

"So do I." Rae said as she passed out.

Dave moved a nearby trashcan by Rae's bedside in case she got sick in the middle of the night. He then took off his clothing and got in the bed with her. As he laid beside her, he thought about what she said. He knew she wasn't joking about what she said and he definitely wouldn't stop her if she felt the need to carry out her action.

But he also knew that sleeping with Rae right now would not be a smart idea. Especially if he thought he could have a future with her.
