Michelle ended up taking an hour long bath in which Dave was able to get a nap in. Hearing the door open Dave popped up making Michelle chuckle. "Did I take too long?" Her question coming out sarcastically.

"I'll never know how you women can sit in a tub of water for that long…it's beyond me." Dave rubbed his eyes and shook his head to wake himself up some more.

Michelle stared at him. "It's because of you men…that's the only way we can get away from you without being bothered."

Dave glared at her as she dried her hair with the towel. "That's just cold."

"Oh please." Michelle slightly rolling her eyes.

It was Dave's turn to roll his eyes. "Whatever…I'm not fighting with you."

Michelle threw the towel at him. "Because you know you'll never win." She laughed.

Dave stood up and threw the towel at his side. "Woman, I' am not in the mood."

Michelle shrieked as he came stalking towards her. After a little game of chase Michelle put her hands up in defeat. "Okay…I give up…" She spoke in between breaths.

Dave shook his head. "I don't think so." Ignoring her protests he threw her over his shoulders and made his way out of the room.

"Dave, where are you taking me?" She asked as she bounced over his broad shoulder.

"Back to where your fiancée can deal with you."

Michelle frowned at the statement…knowing what could happen if John ever found out about her betrayal. "You're mean."

"I'm not mean…it's just that I can only stand you for a period of time." He stated as he knocked on Michelle's hotel door.

With a cup of coffee in his hand John opened the door letting Dave walk in with Michelle still over his shoulder. "I have a delivery."

John set down his cup. "Where did you find her?" John asked rather enjoying the view he was getting from Michelle.

"Showed up at my door last night and never left…as you can see I had to take matters into my own hands." Dave explained giving Michelle a light tap on the butt. "Hey!" Michelle exclaimed.

"Oh I see…thanks for returning her in one piece." It was John's turn to give her a playful slap.

"Assholes." She said gritting her teeth.

"That had to be hard…she truly can be a handful." John stated as he motioned for her.

Dave laughed as he finally put her down. "I think I'll be heading out now."

John saluted him as he watched him walk away. "Bye Michelle…I love you." Michelle folded her arms and looked the other way. "I said I love you Michelle." Dave repeated.

Michelle mimicked him. "Yeah whatever…love you too." She waved him off as he laughed.

When she turned back to John his smirk had turned into a frown. "Why did I have no idea where my soon to be wife was last night?"

Michelle looked down. "Well, after you called me…I didn't want to spend the evening alone…so I thought I'd go and bug Dave…ending up falling asleep…I'm sorry I didn't call." She had a lot more to apologize for but let's hope she never had to.

John smirked at the sincere look on her face. "It's alright…I needed a night away from you anyways." He joked.

Michelle stared him down cold giving him a slap on the arm. "And here I thought I was going to get kisses and hugs…why am I marrying you again?" She scowled.

John just stared at her with that 'look' of his. "I don't think that attitude deserves anything."

Michelle shrugged and walked away. "Fine…didn't want them anyways…"

John sighed and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Don't ever do that to me again…I was worried sick…"

Michelle smiled as he rested his head on her shoulder. "I'm sorry." Again. Again. Again. And Again.

He squeezed her tighter. "Mm…it feels good to hold you."

"It feels good to be held." She closed her eyes as the thoughts of Randy ran through her head. He had left. Away from her. Away from them. She only had herself to blame.
