CH.13 Blackmail

Yelena didn't roll out of bed until one p.m. the next day, feeling hungover. She thanked her lucky stars that there was a house show tonight and she wouldn't be needed. She stumbled into the bathroom and brushed her teeth, not bothering to turn on the light to avoid burning her eyes out of the sockets. She decided that she would order room service and spend the rest of the day in bed to catch up on her reading. She'd just grabbed her book and snuggled back into bed when she heard a knock on her door. she casted her neglected book aside and went to the door, looking through the peephole before opening the door

"I come bearing a very important message" Phil said as a greeting

"How do you manage to look so hot after rolling out of bed?" Mike asked

Yelena rolled her eyes playfully. She hadn't bothered to cover up before she opened the door, clad only in a pair of skimpy shorts and a tank top, her hair still slightly tossled

"It's a secret. If I told you, I'd have to kill you." she joked

"Will there be handcuffs involved?" Mike snorted, wiggling his eyebrows at her

Phil smacked him upside his head, not missing a beat

"Ow! Watch it, I still have a headache!"

"Like I was saying," he said, rolling his eyes at the scowl Mike was shooting him "I have a message to relay" he said, pulling out his phone "And I quote: 'Come have lunch with us or the I.D. swims with the fishes'.

Yelena couldn't help but smile.

"Tell Randy that I'm too hungover to take his threats seriously." she said leaning in the doorframe

Phil's fingers flew across the keypad as he typed the message and pressed send. Randy's reply came back not even a minute later. Punk laughed

"I don't think he's messing around. I suggest you do what the man says" he snorted, showing her the screen.

Yelena laughed at the picture of Randy, dangling her I.D. above the fountain outside the hotel that housed a few Koi fish. Before she could voice a smart mouth reply, Mike picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder and carried her towards her bedroom

"Do what the man says, I'm starving over here!" he said, tossing her unceremoniously onto the bed

"You're such a caveman!" Yelena shouted incredulously. She couldn't believe he just did that.

"It's one of my best qualities. Nice underwear, by the way. Now get dressed."

She let out a groan, grabbing some clothes from her bag and headed into the bathroom. Fifteen minutes later, she emerged, dressed in a t-shirt and a pair of jeans

"I think I liked the shorts better." Mike said when she returned to the living room area where the two men were seated. Yelena resisted the urge to flip him off

"Ready?" Punk asked

"As I'll ever be." she said, grabbing her purse and room key. She followed him out the door, Mike on her heel. Once outside the hotel, Punk escorted the two to his rental. She noticed that Mike was eyeing the passenger seat

"Shotgun!" she called, knocking Mike to the side with her hip so she could get in.

"Nu uh, shrimps ride in the back" he objected, sizing the small brunette up. She was only five foot five, no match to his six foot two

"I'll Rock, Paper, Scissors you for it" she offered

Mike sighed, placing a fist on his open palm

"Rock, Paper, Scissors, shoot!" they chanted. Mike had paper and she had rock

"Ha! Get in the back, short shit." he laughed, hopping into the passenger seat. "Don't forget to buckle up." he snorted, slamming the door

Yelena rolled her eyes, climbing into the back, buckling her seatbelt

"All settled in children?" Phil cooed

"Yes father" Yelena said smartly

"All good here." said Mike

Phil started the car before backing out of the parking space. They drove for about ten minutes before they pulled into a pizza place parking lot and got out. Upon entering, Phil spotted Randy and Wade and lead them over to the table. Phil and Mike sat on one side, leaving the only free seat that just so happened to be next to Randy. She said a polite hello to Wade then turned to Randy

"You know, I'm getting real tired of you blackmailing me." she said, sliding into the seat next to him

"Blackmail is such a harsh word. I prefer 'persuasively demand'" he said, flashing her a mischievous smirk that made her heart skip a beat.

The waitress came and took their order for drinks. She ordered water, not wanting to overdo it. She was already digging herself into a hole with the pizza she was going to consume

"Fine, then I 'persuasively demand' that you give me my I.D. back."

"Nope. Can't do that." he said, taking a sip of his soda

"And why is that?" she inquired, playing along with his little game

"If I give you your I.D. back, how am I going to 'persuasively demand' you to have dinner with me?"

"You could ask me like a normal human being. That's a good start." she said, trying to reign in her blush. Had he really just asked her out? And where had her new-found courage come from?

"Where's the fun in that?" he asked. She playfully thought about it for a second "Touché"

They ordered two pizzas: One with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon and the other half chicken, spinach, and olives, half Anchovies and pineapples

Yelena grimaced as Mike bit off half of a slice of the later "Ew"

"Don't knock it until you try it." he said, between bites

Phil rolled his eyes "You are such a freak"

"That's what she said." Mike said with a grin

Conversations started flowing, some with the whole group, others amongst others. She and Wade managed to get to know one another and she found him very laid back and charming. Randy kept her entertained also, asking her random questions about herself before the others joined in.

"Okay, Chick flicks or Horror movies?" Punk asked

"Horror movies, definitely."

"Rainy days or sunshine?" Wade through out

"Rainy days. It's the best time to take a nap."

The guys muttered in agreement

"Who's your favorite DC villain?" Punk asked

"Bane."

"Hmm... favorite candy?" Wade asked

"I love Lemon Heads" she answered

"What's your favorite type of flowers?" Randy snuck in. She tried not to let on that she found his question cute

"Sunflowers" she said, shooting him a sweet smile, which he returned. The little encounter didn't go unnoticed by the other three at the table.

"What's your favorite underwear? You look like a thong kind of girl" Mike asked, earning him yet another smack to the skull by Phil

"Don't answer that" he said

The rest of lunch went smoothly. Oddly, Yelena hadn't realized that she was the only girl with the Superstars and this was her first outing with them without Aksana. She realized that she had misjudged them. They were all sweet people and she was glad to call them friends.

I know it's short, but bare with me. So I've decided that I'm going to post a chapter every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to help me write faster with less pressure. I hope that's okay with you guys. As always, thank you for reading :-)
