"Oh. My. God." Dolph gasps as I walk out of the bathroom. I smile and give him a twirl. "Where's Lex?" I ask. He points at the door. "Gone to see Rosa" he says. "She said to wait for her in the corridor." I nod, grabbing my bag. "I'll take that" he offers. I smile. "I'm good" I say. "But thanks anyway. For everything, I mean, I kinda gate crashed your locker room..." "It's fine" he says, dismissing my gratitude with a wave. "I mean, we're colleagues, right? Trust me, I've worked around those guys for a long time, I know how they get." "Joe and Colby are fine" I say. "It's just the husband I have problems with. I'd better go meet Lex. Are you coming to the bar with us?" He shakes his head. "I'm meeting someone first" he explains. "I'll see you there later though? I'll let you buy me a drink to say thanks." I smile. "Anytime Dolph" I say, kissing his cheek before making my way out to meet Lex.
"Lora!" Jon yells. I turn to look at him before I realise what I'm doing. "You're missing half your outfit" he growls at me. I shake my head. "Better than missing my other half, Jon" I call back. "Tell me, where's your wife tonight?" He glares at me. "Testing my patience in a work environment" he growls. "I'll deal with her later." "Careful" I warn. "She might not be in the mood to deal with you later. Oh, hey Colby. See you later." I spot Lex at the door to the parking lot so run to her, dragging my bag behind me. "Get me out of here" I mumble as I pass her. She nods and follows me out to the waiting cab. I sigh as I sink into the seat, waiting for her. "Forget him" she says, sliding across the seat and slamming the door closed. "I wish it was that easy Lex" I whisper as she tells the cab driver to drop us at my hotel. "How can I forget him? I'm married to him. I need to face him soon." She shakes her head. "Not tonight" she begs. "Tonight, I want my friend Lora back. The Lora from college." I groan, but nod, knowing a good blowout is exactly what I need. She claps her hands in excitement and doesn't stop talking until we're at the hotel. She gets the cab to wait while I quickly run my bag up to my room, happy I've got my stuff back and don't need to wear the same clothes again tomorrow. I throw it inside the door and run back down to the cab. "Time to party" I say, getting back in. The cab starts to move as soon as I close the door. "Party Central" Lex says as it stops at the bar. I pay quickly, getting out and waiting for Lex. "Come on" she says, hooking her arm through mine. "I'm here, and he ain't getting to you. Not tonight." I nod and let her pull me into the bar.
"Here they are!" Colby yells, running over to us as we walk in. "We were just wondering where you guys had got to, I mean, you left before us." "Had to drop my bag at the hotel" I explain, following him to the bar. He nods at the barman who instantly starts pouring Jack like it's going out of fashion. "You trying to get me drunk Lopez?" I ask. He smirks. "Would I?" he asks innocently. "Yes" I say simply before downing the first Jack. He laughs and hands me another. "You're playing catch up" he explains, nodding over at Jon who has a table full of empty glasses in front of him. "What he does is not my problem Colby" I snap. "Tonight is not about him. Tonight, I'm having a good time, and forgetting I'm married to a man whore." Colby winces but recovers quickly. "Woah" he says. "Who is that with Nick?" I frown, turning around to look. I shrug. "No idea" I say. "But no doubt I'll find out later. Nick is my new best friend." "Ahhhhh" Colby says. "We wondered who's locker room you used. Jon was adamant you used the divas room, he was parked outside there most of the night." I shake my head. "And risk running into sweet little Nay Nay?" I spit. "Not a hope. Considering she's supposed to be down at NXT she was sure lurking in the corridors a lot tonight." "Haven't you heard?" Colby asks. "Regal doesn't want her at NXT either. Says she's more trouble than she's worth. He's unfollowed her on twitter too. Looks like we're stuck with her." I groan, covering my ears quickly as somebody grabs a microphone, resulting in a huge amount of feedback through the speakers. "Karaoke time!" the DJ yells. I groan as Colby laughs. "What's wrong Nicole?" he chuckles. I slap him playfully and laugh as he puts his arm around me. I look over at Jon to see him openly staring at me. The music to "Don't Cha" starts and I laugh loudly. "Who the hell is doing my song?" I ask, looking around. As soon as she starts singing I freeze. "No fucking way!" I squeal as Colby laughs. "Renee cannot sing this for toffee!" he yells. We both watch as she sings it, badly, while staring at Jon. "I can't stick this anymore Colby" I groan, covering my ears. "So go and do it better" Finn says from behind me. I spin around and nearly fall over my own feet, giggling as Finn catches me and saves me from falling on my ass. "My hero" I laugh as he picks me up. "You look fucking amazing Lora" he groans. I smile and cuddle into him. "Thank you" I whisper. "Uh, guys" Dolph calls from behind us. Finn turns us around and I smile. "Hey Nicky" I say. "Hey Lora" he says. "Been on the Jack already? Anyway, I, uh, just wanted to introduce you. Lora, Finn, this is Denise. Denise, Lora Good and Finn Balor."
