Chapter 33

The next day was a dozy one. Kitten woke up laying diagonally on the bed. She looked around and found she had a massive headache. Checking the time, she saw that it was two p.m.. She groaned as she closed her eyes again and moved off the bed. She planted her feet onto something soft. Opening her eyes slowly, she saw that she had landed on Dave's stomach. He was laid out with his hands behind his head and one leg propped up. Kitten laughed and slowly picked her right foot up before dropping it down on to his upper abdomen. He coughed and slowly opened his eyes and looked around at his surroundings. He heard a muffled giggle coming from above him and stared in that direction. He saw Kitten waving at him.

"Morning…" he said as he groaned while he sat up. Kitten giggled before she gave him a kiss on the cheek. She moved her feet over so she could stand up. Once she did, she walked over to her suit case sitting across the room. At least, she tried to to. About five steps out she swayed to the left and fell. She heard Dave chuckle from behind her and turned to gave him a glare. "Guess we shouldn't have drank so much."

"You're telling me? You're the one who started it."

"Did not."

"Did too"

"Did not"

"Did too-- Dave stop! I don't have the energy for this right now. My head is spinning."

"I hear ya. It was a tie. How's that?"

"Fair enough, now come over and help me up."

"Let me see if I can get up first." Dave said as he pulled himself off the floor with the aid of the bed. Once he was stable on his feet, he moved over to Kitten who was on her knees. She took Dave's hand and pulled herself up. Dave pulled her up as well, which caused her to crash into him. She hugged him while she tried to get her balance before looking up. Dave was staring back down at her with a smile. She smiled back. "Hi"

"Hey there" Dave replied back. Kitten moved her hands to the back of his neck and pulled him closer to her. Dave didn't mind as he moved his own hands down to the small of her back. Just as their lips touched, there was a knock on the door. "HEY YOU GUYS IN THERE? The Raw superstars are supposed to be on a flight to Burbank, California!" Hunter yelled from the other side of the door. Kitten sighed and looked at the clock. It was now 2:10 on the clock sitting on the night stand by the bed. "When's the flight supposed to leave?"

"45 minutes. Get your asses up!" Hunter said with one last bang on the door. Kitten and Dave both went to cover their ears. "Alright already!" they both screamed back. They heard both Ric and Hunter laughing down the hall. Kitten sighed and rubbed her temples. Dave was already at his suit case. Kitten went to her own slowly but slumped against the wall it was next to. Dave immediately went to her. "You alright?

"Just peachy… can I ask you something?"

"Go for it?" Dave said as he helped her up.

"Do… do you remember anything?"

"You mean last night? No I don't. All I remember was the match, the casino, and the shot glasses. After that, have no clue. How bout you?"

"Same here. Which is strange. I guess its because I've never drank that much."

"Yeah me either. Do you remember what round we stopped at?"

"Uh no" Kitten laughed. Dave chuckled which told her that he didn't remember either. "Well I'm going to go take a shower and get ready."

"Take a quick one, we don't have much time."

"Heard that." she replied as she shut the bathroom door. Dave went over to his suitcase and got his cloths out and set them on the bed. He looked to where he was laying and laughed. "I don't even remember coming back in here. Let alone how I got on the floor." he thought to himself. He heard the shower turn on and smiled. He walked over to the suit case set it next to the cloths he had set out for his day.

Kitten stepped into the shower and let the water run down her body. As she washed herself, she tried to remember what had happened after the shots. She just couldn't remember anything from last night. She sighed and washed the soap off her body. She would ask Hunter and Ric what exactly happened when she saw them later. She turned the water off and stepped outside before drying off and changing. She dried her hair with the towel so it would drip onto her tank top as she did her make up. She simply put eyeliner and clear lip-gloss on before taking her belongings and walking out.

Dave had gotten both their suitcases ready and set onto the bed. He looked over at her as she walked to him. He grabbed his things and headed over to the bathroom, but stopped when he felt Kitten's hand on his chest as he passed her by. "What's up?"

"I don't know. Something's wrong."

"What? Are you okay?"

"Yeah I am. But I feel like something's up."

"Hmm, maybe its gas" Dave blurted out. Kitten laughed and stared at him. He just shrugged his shoulders. "I'm serious."

"Dave!" she said as she smacked him. "I was being serious. Something is wrong"

"Can we get onto the pl--" Dave's phone had interrupted them. Kitten and Dave both stared at his jacket pocket sitting on the floor before Dave walked to it and opened the pocket. Checking the caller id, saw it was non other than Vince McMahon. He answered the phone looking at Kitten the whole time.

Kitten watched as Dave talked to Vince. She moved to the bed and packed her things in her suitcase as she tried to listen in on the call. "Hi Vince… now? Sure, I guess… I'll be there as soon as I can… alright, see ya later." Dave said as he finished his phone call. He closed his phone and looked at Kitten who was now seated on the bed putting her last boot on. Dave sighed and set his phone on his suitcase. Kitten looked up at him as she zipped her boot up. "What did he say?"

"Said he wanted to see me and not to get on the plane."

"Huh? Wait… why?"

"That's all he said…" Dave said quietly. He gathered his things again and went towards the bathroom. "I'll get you to the airport, see you off and then head to go see Vince."

"Uh--"

"Sounds good." he said as he closed the door. Kitten just stared at his phone before a knock on the door made her look at the door. She stood up and walked to it before opening and seeing Hunter and Ric smiling at her. "Good afternoon. Sleep well?"

"Shut up. Headaches gone and so is my memory from last night."

"What? Really?" Hunter said as he stared at her before turning to Ric who also had the same expression. They both took a deep breath and said nothing.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing. That's just horrible."

"Yea--" Dave had come up behind Kitten unexpectedly, changed and showered. Kitten looked up at the big man who had both her and his own bags in each hand. "Ready to go?"

"Uh yea. Let's go."

"Alright, let's get a move on. We have thirty minutes before the plane takes off. You guys are lucky that we stayed close to the airport." Ric said as he lead the pack into the elevator. As the door closed, Kitten looked up at Ric and Hunter. "So, I was meaning to ask you guys, what happened last night?"

"Yeah, that's what I was going to ask." Dave pitched in.

"Well you guys drank yourselves pink." Hunter laughed and smiled. Ric did the same. "You guys were really going at it"

"Yeah I remember that, but after the last drink, its fuzzy"

"Well, you guys were really out of it, so I'm not surprised… well you guys began to act weird and so we thought it would be best if we just head in. Kitten passed out in the limo and Ric carried her in. I had a lot of trouble hauling your ass in to your room. I kinda dropped you because I tripped on someone's boots." he said with a faint smile. Kitten laughed when she realized that was how Dave ended up on the floor. However, Dave didn't laugh. He merely smiled as Kitten pointed at him and giggled. Dave pushed her weakly and she slapped him back. "So that was it? We just passed out?"

"Pretty much. Dave was flirting with every person that had long hair." Hunter laughed. Ric and Kitten soon joined it. Dave couldn't help but chuckle as well. "This poor bastard was loosing his mind as Dave started towards him. If I hadn't stopped him… well Kitten woulda woke up alone I guess."

"Shut up Hunter." Dave said as he walked out of the elevator. Kitten, Ric and Hunter all laughed as they went after him and into the limo. Once the driver had helped with the bags, they were off towards the airport. They chit chatted about yesterday and there were some jokes on Dave thrown in. When they arrived, they took their luggage and headed off towards their gate. Dave told the driver that he would be back within the hour and to be close by. He then headed after the others.

They all got their luggage checked in and headed for security. Once past that, they had a good ten minutes before they had to board the plane. Kitten was watching the planes go as Dave talked to Hunter and Ric. He saw her standing on the chair next to the window and smiled. "Kit, whatcha doin?"

"Watching the planes come and go."

"You're such a kid."

"So" she pouted. Dave came up behind her and gave her a kiss on the neck. "Dave…"

"What, I'm not gunna see you for a couple of hours, so I think I deserve some love?"

"You deserve a lot more…" she said softly as she turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck and shoulders. She gave him a gentle kiss on the lips before pulling back smiling.

"I got all I need." Dave replied as he continued the kiss.

"Now boarding flight 92… Las Vegas to Phoenix…" a woman's voice said. Dave sighed and helped Kitten down from the seat she was standing on. He handed her bag to her before taking her hand and walking her to the gate. Hunter and Ric had already gone in. They figured that it would be best to leave them alone.

"I want you to call me as soon as you get off the plane."

"I will Dave. Don't you worry."

"Good--"

"Hey!" John said as he came running behind them. "The plane… is still… boarding… right?" he said as he bent over trying to catch his breath. Kitten giggled as Dave patted his back and laughed.

"No champ. The plane is about to close the gate in a couple of minutes. So you just made it."

"Thank God…"

"You're always early, John. What happened?"

"Not what… who."

"Ohh… who happened then?" Kitten laughed.

"Maria happened…"

"Aw man that's not even funny."

"What are you two going on about?" Kitten said as she shoved both Dave and John. "Maria is a great girl."

"She's also quite the talker, Kit. Once the girl has a subject, she won't stop yapping." Dave responded. Kitten shook her head and both Dave and John chuckled. "So, what death trap she use?"

"Her shoes."

"Men… I'm leaving." Kitten laughed as she headed over to the attendant next the gate. Dave and John soon joined her. She showed the attendant her ticket and John did the same. John noticed the Dave didn't show his ticket. Kitten walked over to Dave and kissed him bye.

"Whoa, what do you mean bye? You're not coming with us?"

"No I'm not. Vince called me and said we needed to talk. So I'm heading to the arena after you guys take off."

"Bummer" Kitten said to herself. Both champions stared at the diva before laughing. "Oh sorry…"

"It's alright. At least we know we're boring you."

"No!. You can't bore me that quick. I was just thinking how boring the flights gunna be without Dave."

"Oh that is a bummer, well its not that long of a flight. So we'll see each other soon" Dave said as he gave her a hug.

"And besides baby girl. You got me." John said as he wrapped an arm around her. "You'll forget all about Dave."

"…" In that instant, the air between the WWE Champion and the World Heavyweight Champion thickened ten-fold. Kitten felt the intensity from Dave eyes, even though he wasn't looking at her. She looked over to John. John knew he had struck a nerve with that one. He didn't mean anything by it, but he knew Dave was a territorial kinda guy. It was just his nature. John also knew the the term 'Animal' wasn't just Dave ring persona. It was a very scary reality.

"Uh… I was just kidding, big guy. You know kit's not gunna forget you."

"He knows that" Kitten pipped in. She shoved Dave a little making Dave's gaze travel to her. Instantly, Dave's gazed softened which made Kitten release the breath she was holding. She shook her head and gave him one last kiss before heading over to the gate. "I'll see ya later, big guy."

"Remember you're promise."

"I know." she smiled before she turned and walked through the gate. Once Dave knew she was out of earshot, Dave's Animal instantly came back out. John felt the air thicken again making him slowly turn to a Dave. "Look, I didn't mean anything by it. What you guys have… that's really special and I'm really happy for you guys. I'm not that kinda man who takes a friend's girl. That's not me, and you know that."

"…"

"But… I guess that doesn't matter."

"No it matters. I'm sorry, but that's just the way I am. I can't help it."

"Man! You and Kitten really are made for each other."

"What do you mean?"

"Remember back when you, Kitten and I, were backstage and Christie came and gave you a kiss?

"Yeah, what about that? I told Christie that it was over."

"Yeah we know but just listen… the air around Kitten thickened. I bet you couldn't even cut it with a knife."

"Yeah I know that."

"What? Really?"

"Yeah I noticed it a couple of weeks before. During my match against Hassan and Davari"

"You're match was with Hassan. You just took it to Davari… not that I'm complaining."

"Anyways… Something was up with Kitten… she was enjoying it too much."

"Well, that not exactly what I was talking about… Kitten looked like she wanted to tear Christie's body… piece by piece."

"Yeah, I could sense that. That's why I ended it quickly. I woulda let Christie down a little gently but it was either me being rude, or Kitten." Dave chuckled. John did too. "I'm not complaining though. It's sorta the way I am… but I don't want her to become that"

"What if she's already been like that. I mean think back to Evolution. Was she this…"

"Devious? Yeah, but not at this intensity. She always surprising me"

"And the rest of us" John chuckled.

"Well what ever it is, I just wish it doesn't consume her"

"You wouldn't let it get to that. And neither would I"

"Thanks man… you better get on board"

"I'm going… see ya around" John said as he shook Dave's hand. Dave nodded and shook his hand but stopped and tightened his grip. "Uh, Dave?"

"Just take care of my girl huh?"

"You betcha… can I have my hand back, or you still have a couple of more bones to break"

"No I think my point's been made" Dave smiled, letting the hand go. John chuckled as he flexed and massaged his hand. He gave Dave a small smile before turning to the gate and walking through it. Dave sighed and walked to where Kitten had been watching the planes take off. He sat down and watched the attendant close the gate doors.

On the plane Kitten had sat behind Hunter and Ric. They were talking about Dave's little mishap last night in the casino. John came by and sat next to her holding his hand. "What happened to you?"

"What you mean?"

"You're hand" she pointed out.

"Oh… uh, slammed it on the way here."

"Liar" she giggled. "Dave did it"

"How do you possibly know that?"

"I know my Animal." Kitten giggled.
