Chapter 46

As Kitten went to find Dave, she was going through her head of what to do if Dave was in his dangerous mood. She knew that one well, being beaten by him back in Evolution wasn't exactly fun. As she came to a halt at their bedroom door, she listened to what was going on inside of the room. It was completely silent, no shuffling, nothing being thrown, absolutely nothing was going on in there. Kitten frowned as she put her guard up and turned the knob to come in.

"Dave, you in here?" Kitten said cautiously as she came in slowly. Everything seemed to be in order, as she looked around the room. The bed wasn't made yet, but that was normal. They were both notorious for not making their beds until later. There was a noise that caught Kitten's attention as she turned to the bathroom on the other side of the bedroom.

"Dave," she said a bit louder. "You okay in there?" she began to head to the bathroom, noting the door was slightly open. She stopped at the door and took a breath. Smaller room isn't a good thing with him. He'll lash out if he feels crowded or closed in, Kitten thought. She pushed the door slowly, opening it cautiously. Dave was hunched over the counter of the sink, his arms holding him over the counter. His muscles were flexed in his arms, forearms and hands.. Kitten watched his back as he huffed and slowly letting out his breaths. She sighed slowly as she began to make her way to him. His left side was facing her and his head hung down. As she approached him she saw his eyes were closed, a frown also present.

"I want to know what is happening to us, Kitty?" he said, barely audible. Kitten froze at his voice but her tension was disappearing now.

"That's what I would like to know, Dave. It just hasn't been the same, has it? I mean the first time we were together, it was–"

"Fire." Dave finished for her. He opened his eyes and turned his head towards her. His brown eyes weren't so dark anymore but a lighter brown. Kitten knew it as concern for her. She gave him a weak smile and stepped closer to her boyfriend. She wrapped an arm around his bicep and pulled herself closer, hugging it to her body as he stood still. Dave watched her and kissed her hair.

"I know with all the changes in our lives it hasn't been easy for us. Being on Smackdown is a whole new ball game." Dave began.

"You're telling me, half the locker room doesn't like us."

"It's our rise in the company."

"I know and then the whole Melina thing happened." Kitten replied bitterly. Dave let out a low chuckle that rumbled in his chest. Kitten also smiled as she looked up at him. He leaned down to kiss her, that she eagerly met with her own lips. He kissed her gently, wanting to savor her lips and touch. Kitten felt his tongue brush her bottom lip softly, making her moan in pleasure. Dave smiled against her lips before pulling away slowly.

"We haven't kissed like that in a while."

Kitten's eyes were still closed, waiting for more. "Yeah so get back over here."

"You don't have to tell me twice." he replied before meeting her lips again. Kitten let go his arm, giving Dave the freedom to move it around her body and pull her closer to him. He used the other arm to lift her up to his level. When he felt her legs lock behind his back, he stood up straight and began walking towards the bedroom. He peeked to make sure he didn't run into anything as he made his way over to the bed. As if it wasn't difficult enough with Kitten to carry, her being possessive right now wasn't helping. When he misjudged where the bed was and fell onto the mattress with kitten underneath him all he heard her laughter from underneath.

"Wayda go, big guy."

"Hey," Dave snapped back. "Maybe if you slowed it down a bit we wouldn't have fell."

"Oh, so its my fault." Kitten said as she raised an eyebrow. Dave smiled as he saw the twinkle of mischief in her eyes. Oh how he missed that look. He couldn't remember when he saw it, but he was glad it was back. He gave her a toothy grin which made her frown.

"What?"

"I missed you."

"Where did I go?" Kitten asked in confusion.

"You tell me, babe." it was Dave's turn to raise his eyebrow.

"Honestly I don't know." she replied as she looked away. To the left of her was the door of the bedroom and to their feet was the bathroom they had just left. Their bed was still unmade and kitten began to shift a bit, trying to get her weight even over the covers and sheets. However, Dave held her firmly in place with his weight.

"I know with all the shit that's happened to us, it hasn't been easy, but we need to communicate more if we want to last." Dave said softly as he watched her face carefully. When her eyes flickered, he knew that had been what she was thinking. He smiled gently before giving her cheek a kiss. She turned back to him and stared into his deep eyes. She smiled.

"Dave, I don't think I need that break anymore." kitten replied.

Dave was a little stunned. "What do you mean? I thought you said you needed to get away from it all."

"I wanted to run." she admitted. " I wanted to go and leave everything behind... but you, you changed that. I know you are here when I need you and irritating as it is, when I don't." she laughed.

Dave gave her a smug look. "Gee, thanks kitty."

"Oh hush, that was a compliment." she replied with a smack to his shoulder. "I'm telling you that I love you and love what you have done for me."

Dave gave her a warm smile, which made her heart flutter. "I love you too, babe. You've done more for me than you know." he replied. He leaned down and kissed her again, giving all his love through the kiss. Kitten smiled against his lips and returned the favor.

"You guys alive in there?" Hunter asked from the other side of the door. Kitten sighed heavily as Dave lifted his head and growled. He looked back down at his girl and shook his head.

"That man has the worst timing possible." Dave growled.

"He wouldn't be Hunter if he didn't" Kitten laughed. Dave looked over at the door when he heard another knock from his previous stable mate. Kitten knew he was a little upset and did what she knew what would calm him a bit. She rose her hands to the dip in his back where his muscles fused with his spine before she began running her fingers up and down his spine. At the touch, Dave's eyes closed and the growling ceased. She smiled as she raised her head to meet the skin on Batista's neck and began leaving hot and gentle kisses, her lips barely touching his skin. She felt him moan and growl in pleasure, rumbling like light thunder through his chest and body. She smiled against his skin before pulling away slowly. She rolled him over to the end of the bed with her on top. She traced her fingers over his rubs and abdomen. His eyes were closed and his head titled back a little. She gave his chin a kiss before slowly getting up. Dave on the other hand froze at the sudden loss of her touch. He tilted his head back over to her only to see that she had gone over to the door.

"Damn you Hunter..." Dave thought as he sat up.

Kitten opened the door to find Hunter and his wife standing in the hallway both facing each other. Stephanie was the first to notice her standing with the door open. She gave her a smile which Kitten returned brightly. Hunter was the one who spoke up.

"Well, it's good to see you guys didn't tear each other up." Hunter said as he looked over Kitten's shoulder to see Dave sitting on the bed, elbows on his knees and hands folded between them. He glared at Hunter who frowned and turned to Kitten.

"What's his deal."

"You and your timing." Kitten smirked.

Hunter continued to frown. "I don't get it."

"Never mind, Hunter." Kitten shook her head. She turned back to Stephanie, eyes beaming. Stephanie had to admit this was an improvement from what happened a couple of minutes ago. She she let out a sigh as she crossed her arms over her chest gently.

"So is everything okay with you two?" she asked, watching Kitten's eyes carefully.

"Yeah it is and the better news is that I don't think I will be needing that vacation after all."

"What," Stephanie said stunned. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, I won't be needing it. I feel better now, and I think Dave..." she looked back at him and smirked when he still had a frown on his face. "will agree with me."

"Yeah yeah, she's fine." Dave replied quickly. He stood up and crossed his arms as he walked over to stand behind Kitten. She reached back and held his arms before pulling them over to her waist. Dave's tension was disappearing in an instant. A smile was creeping back onto his handsome face. He came closer and hugged her tightly as he placed a kiss on the crown of her head.

"She's fine." Dave repeated. Hunter looked to his wife who was smiling from ear to ear.

"Why are you smiling?"

"Look at them" she pointed. "Are you telling me you've never seen them like this?"

Hunter looked back at the two and smirked. "Guess not." he replied.

"Anyways..." Kitten broke in. "I think its time we get on with our little vacation, yeah?"

"Yeah, now that no one is going to kill one another." Hunter responded.

"Oh shut up Hunter, no one was gonna kill anyone."

"Clash of the titans when it comes to you two." he laughed. Kitten frowned and looked up behind her to Dave. He had a smirk on his face, apparently amused with the situation. Kitten elbowed him in the ribs, to get his attention. He grunted and looked down at his girlfriend, smile still present.

"What was that for?"

"We are not titans." she pouted.

Dave let out a laugh. "No, but you are a goddess." he said, pulling her closer to him. She froze as it sunk in. She shook her head slightly and wrapped her arms around Dave's.

"You are so cheesy sometimes."

"So, at least it makes you laugh or smile in this case." Dave replied softly in her left ear. She could feel his warm breath on her ear and neck. Her smile broadened before she looked up at the big man. Dave also had a smile on his face. He leaned down to kiss her but was stopped when Hunter spoke.

"I think we should eat and get our day on with, yeah? Okay good." he said before taking Stephanie with him back to the kitchen. She gave him a shocked expression before he took her arm and lead her down the hallway. She shook her head at her husband.

"You keep interrupting them." Stephanie scolded as she slapped Hunter's arm. He chuckled.

"What I can't have fun?"

"Not when it's messing with those two. You know how they are."

"A match made in hell." Hunter laughed.

Stephanie stopped. "Leave them alone, Hunter." she replied in shock. Hunter looked back at his wife and laughed at her expression.

"I'm just pulling their legs, babe. I'm not hurting them."

"Last thing we need is another fight between you and Dave. That tore us apart, might I add."

"Who is us?"

"Kitten and I." Stephanie said as she made her way into the kitchen. Hunter frowned and followed her in.

"You didn't like the fact that Dave and I were feuding because you and your girlfriend didn't get to see each other?"

"You tore them apart to, you know. You're crazy when you're on a title hunt."

Hunter was silent for a while. "Yeah well I think I've paid my dues."

"How so?" Stephanie asked.

"I kicked his ass three times in a row." Dave answered. He was now wearing a white tank top and his tack pants. Kitten had followed him in, her... Dave's shirt now buttoned. She was holding his hand. He let her in first before coming in himself.

Hunter frowned. "I could have taken you."

Dave chuckled. "It was a long time ago. Let it go, Hunter."

"I can take you." Hunter continued.

"You do have more titles that Dave does." Kitten replied. Dave turned to her, eyebrow raised.

She smiled at him. "Nothing personal, but Hunter has the experience in the ring."

"That's true, but he's no animal."

"No he's psycho." Kitten laughed. Stephanie who was listening to them also began laughing.

"Thanks honey for the support." Hunter countered as he watched her try to stifle her laugh.

"I'm sorry, but that was funny."

"Funny because it's true." Kitten added.

"Oh shut up. Let's eat and then we can figure out what we will do for the day." Hunter growled. The other three laughed before all nodding.
