Summery: What do you do when you fall for your best friend?
Part 4: I need to tell you
Lita slouched into the room she was sharing with Randy and threw her bag onto her bed. She would usually share a room with John but he was spending so much time with Maria that the redhead was starting to forget what her best friend even looked like.
"Li what's wrong?" Randy asked after seeing the sour look on her face.
"Nothing that murdering little miss sunshine wouldn't fix…"
"What'd she do this time?"
"She was all over him as usual…"
"She is his girlfriend hun…"
If looks could kill Randy would be dead.
"She doesn't have to keep reminding everyone of that every 2 minutes though does she? I wouldn't do that…" she let out a defeated sigh and sat down next to Randy.
"I know you wouldn't sweetie…" the young superstar put his arm around her, the diva leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Ugh…this is so stupid…he's only ever gonna see me as a friend isn't he?"
"I still think you should tell him how you feel Li…"
"And lose him completely? No…I just need to stop feeling like this…"
Randy laughed softly.
"Somehow I don't think that's gonna work…"
"Why can't I just pick a nice, uncomplicated guy? Why do I always have to go for the jerks…or my spoken for best friend?"
"Nothing to do with love is ever uncomplicated hun"
"You and Kelly are aren't you?"
"Yeah…but that's cause we're just having fun, it's not like we're trying to fall madly in love or anything…"
"I wish I could see things like that…" the diva sighed.
"What am I gonna do with you Li?"
The redhead shrugged and sniffed.
"I'm gonna be an old maid aren't I? No one is ever gonna love me and I'll die alone with no one to miss me except my 500 cats…"
"Trust me Li, there's no way that's ever gonna happen…you know what you need?"
"What?"
"A night out…come on, I'll round up Trish and Mickie and we can hit a club or something"
"I don't know…"
"I'm not taking no for an answer…now you get changed and I'll go and find Mickie and Trish." He strode out of the room before the redhead could protest.
Lita changed into a pair of black pants with zips running down the side of each leg and a red corset top. She looked in the mirror and sighed as she put on her make up. Maybe Randy was right, a night out might do her good.
She'd just finished putting on her mascara when Randy came back.
"We're meeting Mickie, Trish, Steph, and Edge downstairs in 5 minutes."
"Steph and Edge are coming?"
"Yeah, Edge is trying to get a date with Mickie and Steph needs a break from the munchkin."
The redhead took another look in the mirror.
"You look fine Li…in fact I think smoking hot would be a more accurate description."
"You're only saying that to make me feel better…thank you." She smiled.
"Come on, you know what Mickie's like if she has to wait…"
They made their way downstairs to the others.
Lita was immediately dragged onto the dance floor when they got to the club, she didn't see John and Maria walking about 10 minutes after the redheads little group got there. Randy saw them and quickly made his way over to the couple.
"I didn't think you two were coming out tonight"
"We weren't until Ria decided she was in the mood to go dancing" John said with a shrug as Maria tried to pull him onto the dance floor.
Randy looked around, hoping the redhead wasn't near by.
Lita was dancing with Trish, Steph and Mickie while Edge was at the bar.
"Micks when are you gonna put the poor guy out of his misery and go on a date with him? Lita asked.
"It's kinda fun making him chase after me…but I guess I should stop tormenting him soon" Mickie giggled.
"Good, I'm sick of him calling me every 5 minutes to ask if I think you like him, he's worse than a lovesick teenager…"
"Aww poor boy…I'll be right back…"
The 3 divas stopped dancing and watched her walk over to where Edge was standing at the bar. Their jaws dropped with the young woman grabbed the blond and kissed him before turning on her heel and heading back to the dance floor.
"I don't believe you just did that…" Lita giggled.
"I think I put him out of his misery, don't you?" Mickie laughed.
The girls went back to dancing until Trish saw John.
"I didn't know John was coming out tonight…"
Lita spun round and caught sight of her best friend. She was about to try and sneak away when Mickie called him over.
"Hey girls…hello stranger, where've you been hiding? I've hardly seen you in weeks Li…"
"I've just been busy I guess…"
"I miss ya Li"
"You've been so busy with Maria…I didn't think you'd even notice I wasn't around"
"Of course I noticed…Li what's wrong? You know you can tell me anything, right?"
"I wish I could tell you John…" she could feel tears running down her cheeks and was glad the other girls had started dancing again, she didn't want them seeing her upset, they'd ask too many questions.
"Li don't cry…it's a guy isn't it? No guy in the world is worth you cryin' over him…"
"This one is and he doesn't even know…"
John pulled her close to him and wrapped his arms around her. He hated seeing her like this, he always had.
"John…there's something I need to tell you…" the redhead said nervously as hazel eyes looked up into bright blue.
"What is it?"
"I…well…I've um…been thinking…"
"John, there you are…I thought you'd run away or something" Maria giggled.
"I have to go…" Lita turned quickly, wiping tears away from her face.
"Li wait…" John called after the redhead as she disappeared into the mass of people on the dance floor.
