Chapter 34
The flight to Phoenix wasn't too long of a flight, but it was still grueling. John and Kitten talked all the way there. She told him about what had happened last night with the guys and how Dave had his trunk spill. John laughed so hard when she told him about Dave and the poor man with the long hair. John fell out of his seat making the people around them stare at them. There were three little kids laughing as well, not at her story, but at the chain gang leader who was on the floor. John looked over and smiled before getting up and seating again.
"You okay?"
"Yeah. That was a good one." he replied.
"Are you two done?" Hunter laughed as he turned around and laughed.
"Yes dad" Kitten replied to Hunter. He had a smile on his face as he turned back around. Kitten kicked his seat causing him to supposedly give her a death stare. She just smiled at him, making him shake his head as he turned around.
"Is he always like that?"
"Yeah, pretty much. You shoulda seen when we were in Evolution. There was no end to his nagging--"
"I heard that." Hunter laughed.
"You were meant to" she replied. John chuckled at the both of them. It was hard for him to believe that not just twenty-four hours ago, these two were at each other's throats. Once again the captain's voice interrupted them. "We will be landing in five minutes, please stay in your seats till we land and completely stop. Thank you!"
Five minutes later, the plane had landed and stopped completely. Kitten had told Hunter and Ric that she would see them later. Hunter had said that he needed to call Steph. Ric said he was going to go sleep. Kitten had said bye to them and then turned to John. "I told Dave that I would call him once the plane landed."
"I'm gunna go get the luggage, the rental car and then I'll be right back."
"Sounds good." she smiled. John nodded and headed over baggage claim as Kitten got her phone out and called Dave. His phone went straight to voicemail. Kitten figured that he was probably on a flight here. "Hey big guy. It's me. Just wanted to tell you that we landed. Call me when you get this. Love ya! Bye."
"Did you get a hold of him" John said as he came up.
"Nope, went straight to voicemail"
"Oh, then he's probably on his way here."
"That's what I figured. So I just left a voicemail."
"Good, well then let's get some grub."
"I second that" she said as she followed John. "Where is the rental?"
"Oh I had one of the security guys watch it for me"
"Can you do that?"
"I dunno, but I just did." John winked. Kitten laughed as she followed him out to the car. The security guard was talking to someone. When he saw John he excused himself from the conversation and shook John's hand. "Here you are."
"Thanks." he replied. Kitten smiled faintly at the guard before walking over to the car. Cena was known for his taste in cars and had chosen something Kitten wasn't exactly used to… but she wasn't complaining. It was a Dodge Magnum. A yellow Magnum with 24' rims. Kitten couldn't help but stare at the car. Cena who went out to the passenger side door opened it, turn around to see Kitten checkin the car out. "Something wrong?"
"What… oh, no. It just that its not exactly what I'm used to."
"Lemme guess, B-mers and Cedes?"
"No, Bmers, Ferrari's, and Lambos" Kitten smiled.
"Yeah, I can see where that can be a problem."
"What problem?"
"You're not used to American cars, hun"
"Yeah I know"
"Well there is a first time for everything. So hope in and I'll show you what I can do."
"Hopefully you don't run us off the road."
"Oh hush and get in." Cena laughed as he closed the door as she sat in. He hopped and slid over the hood of the car to get into the drivers seat. "You like that."
"It was amusing." killed laughed. Cena just gave her a smile before he started the car. They turned out and left for the freeway. Along the way, both Cena and Kitten had gotten a better understanding of each other. Their friendship had gotten stronger within forty five minutes. When they arrived into the city, John had taken them to a small restaurant where he knew there wouldn't be that many people.
After they ate, John had decided that he wanted to go sleep, so they headed to the hotel. They both said their byes and headed to their rooms. Kitten had checked her phone again many times over, as she waited for Dave's phone call. Then it did, she jumped off her bed and ran to the dresser across the room. "Hello?"
"Any news from Dave yet?"
It was Hunter. "sigh… No not yet."
"Come on down and hang out with us then. The show doesn't start till later anyways." Hunter implied. Kitten smiled at him. She knew what he was doing. "Hunter, thanks but I really want to be there when Dave calls"
"Kitten listen to me, you cell is wireless. You'll be there, trust me" he replied with a chuckle.
Kitten laughed and shook her head. "Alright. I'll be there. Where should I meet you?"
"Uh, we're in the lobby bar."
"Alright, see you there." she replied before closing her phone. She put her boots on before grabbing her keys, wallet and phone and heading out the door. Just as she shut the door, she met up with Beniot. "Hey Kit."
"Oh, Chris hi. How are ya?" she greeted as she gave him a hug. He laughed and nodded. "I'm alright. How bout you?"
"Worried."
"Dave hasn't called you."
"How'd you know that?"
"John just told me."
"Blabbermouth."
"He's just worried that's all."
"About me? There is no need. I'm fine. It's Dave that I'm worried about."
"Dave's a big boy, Kit. He's fine."
"Well something's up."
"You're tellin me."
"What's up?"
"I have to wait and see actually."
"Man, what is going on here? No one's saying anything. People paranoid (you know who you are ^_^). Its insanity."
"I have to go now Kit. I'll see you around."
"Alright Chris, you take care" she gave him a kiss on the cheek before letting him pass. She walked to the elevator as she thought about what Chris had just said. The doors closed and she pressed the button to the lobby. Once there, the doors opened and her phone rang again. "Hello?"
"Hey babe"
"Dave! Jeez, took you long enough! Where are you?"
"Portland, Oregon"
"Whoa, what? Why?"
"Kit, I have to tell you something."
"Yeah?"
"I've been drafted to Smackdown." Dave said softly.
"…"
"Kit, babe you there?"
"Yeah I'm here. How'd that happen? Oh my god, that's what Chris was worried about."
"The computer spitted my name out. Which Chris?"
"Benoit. I ran into him on the way out and he seemed a little out of it."
"Yeah, he's been drafted as well. I just don't think he's got that call yet."
"How come he didn't need to come see Vince then?"
"Cause I'm holding the title. And the titles gunna change brands now."
"So when will I see you" Kitten asked anxiously.
"I have no clue. My schedule is really crazy right now."
"This isn't fair."
"You're tellin me… look I'll call you first chance I get. Take care alright?"
"That goes double for you. Remember the inhaler."
"Yes, mom.' he chuckled. "Love you"
"You too. Bye"
"Bye" and then the line went dead. Kitten let out a heavy sigh.
"HEY! Kitten over here!" Hunter called from a bar stool across the lobby. Kitten smiled faintly and walked slowly to her former stable mates. Ric was there chatting with John who had also come apparently. "Hey guys."
"Hey, what's John doing here"
"Nice to see you too Kitten" John snickered.
"Oh, I didn't mean it like that. I thought you were sleeping anyways."
"Well no, Hunter called me down and said he and some of the guys are gunna go out later."
"Hunter asked you to come? Wow big step up Hunter" Kitten mocked. Hunter shrugged with a smile making Ric, John and Kitten laugh. "Anyways where are we going?"
"To a pub with a dance floor." Ric pipped in.
"A pub with a dance floor? Dare I ask?"
"Its a great place, trust me"
"Absolute faith." Kitten smiled cheekily. This made all the superstars laugh. Kitten mimicked Hunter's expression with the shrug and smile.
"Did you get a hold of Dave?" Ric asked as soon as the laughter died down.
"Yeah. He's in Portland, Oregon."
"What's he doing over there?"
"He's been drafted to Smackdown."
"Oh no. I'm sorry babe."
"I'm not." she lied. "It's uncharted territory for Dave. He's gunna be the one leading Smackdown now."
"Yeah, but how are you two going to be without one another."
"We'll figure something out. We always do."
"I hope so."
"So you got what you wanted anyways."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"You got me and Dave separated. He's going to smackdown. And he's taking care of JBLs loudmouth now."
"Yeah, but that's cuz I wanted the belt. Now I have another title I'm looking after." Hunter replied with a look to Cena.
"Anytime." was all the John said before a smile grew onto his lips.
"Oh no. Not this again. I'm not gunna be in the middle again. So if you two want to knock each other dead, be my guest. I'm going to the pub with a dance floor. You coming, Naitch?"
"I'm right behind you." he replied.
"We takin a limo?"
"How bout the magnum?" Cena yelled out.
"Oh, you're coming?"
"Very funny. Yeah, I'm coming."
"Alright, let's go." Kitten replied. Cena nodded and walked with her to the front of the hotel. They waited for the valet to get John's rental before climbing in. They waited for the limo and the rest of them to get in before they were off. Since John had no clue where this 'pub with the dance floor was' and neither did Kitten, they followed the limo.
"Are you bummed about Dave?"
"Yeah… you have no idea."
"It'll b alrite."
"Hope so."
