Late Night Visitor

Once they reached the front doors, Batista opened the door for Lauren and offered her a hand out. With Lauren being the klutz that she was, her foot landed awkwardly which led her to fall right into Batista's arms. "You all right?" he chuckled smiling down at her.

"Y-yeah. I'm-I'm fine," she stuttered scratching her head stupidly. Batista helped her get balanced on her own feet, and walked with her into the hotel. They both checked into their rooms, and went up in the elevator. "So what room do you have?" Lauren asked him.

"You plan on visiting me later?" Batista smirked.

"Ha-ha, sooooo funny," Lauren stated sarcastically. "Well I'm in room 313. Do you guys usually share the same room?" she asked.

"When Orton was still part of Evolution, him and I used to share a room while Flair and HHH would share one. So now I room by myself, thank God" he mumbled the last part to himself. He heard Lauren trying hard not to laugh. "Anyways, in answer to your first question, I'm in room 317. I don't even know if we're in the same hallway," he stated.

"Oh okay." The elevator stopped and let them out. "Well I guess I'll see you later, Batista. Thanks for the ride," Lauren ran towards her room, before he saw her blushing like crazy. Lauren quickly opened her door and closed it behind her. "Man, my heart's beating like crazy. He is pretty hot though. Oh god! Bad thoughts! Get out of my head!" she thought to herself. Lauren unpacked her things and got ready to go to sleep. She eased into her warm blankets and drifted easily off to sleep.

Later in the night, Lauren woke up to what sounded like footsteps. She tried to ignore it, since she figured it was just someone walking around in the hallways. Her eyes popped open once more when she realized, that the footsteps were actually in her room.

"Who's there?" she called out. "Batista, is that you?" Her heart was pounding crazily when no one answered her, but instead the footsteps were louder. Suddenly, she heard a loud thud and jumped out of her bed. Lauren gave out a cry as she felt something try to grab her arm, but wasn't able to get a good enough grip. She threw open the door and ran out into the hallway. As soon as she turned a corner, she ran smack into someone. They held her by her arms to keep her from falling to the ground. "Let me go!" Lauren cried.

"Lauren?" a familiar voice asked. Lauren opened her eyes and looked up. There stood Batista with a look of concern on his face.

"Batista?" Lauren had tears fall down her flushed cheeks. "Oh Batista!" she cried and clutched to his bare chest.(teehee)

"What is it? What happened?" he asked worriedly as he kept his arms around her.

"I–I heard something in my room. At first, it sounded like footsteps. Then, something fell over, so I tried to run out of there. I felt something try to grab my arm while I tried to get out. Oh god, I was so scared!" she sobbed.

"It's okay, I've got you now. I'll go in and look around okay?" Batista suggested as he rubbed her back soothingly. Lauren looked up and nodded. Batista told her to stay out in the hallway near her door, up against the wall.

"Be careful," Lauren called out. She tried hard to keep her teeth from chattering. "Stupid hotels and their stupid air conditioners making it stupid cold!" she thought angrily. Her mental rambling was interrupted when she felt something warm drape over her shoulders.

"I figured you'd be cold so I grabbed your robe while I was in there," Batista stated. "I didn't see anyone in there, but one of the potted plants was on the floor. That must've been what fell over."

Lauren simply nodded and kept her head down. "Thank you" she murmured.

"It's pretty late and we both need to get some sleep," Batista said. "Come on, you're sleeping in my room tonight." He wrapped an arm around her shoulders as he led her to his room. Batista opened the door to reveal one bedded room.

"I can sleep on the couch," Lauren suggested as soon as they walked in.

"No you can sleep" Batista was cut off by Lauren running and jumping onto the couch.

"Too late, I'm already sleeping!" Lauren called out and closed her eyes. Batista simply walked over to her.

"Do you have any idea how easy it would be to just lift you up and take you over to the bed?" Batista smirked. (He's not talking about THAT you crazy people lol)

Lauren's only response was a fake snore. Batista could only laugh as he walked into the bedroom to get an extra blanket for her. He gently draped it over her and sat in the chair to watch her sleep. "Two can play at this game," he thought to himself and went to sleep.

The next morning, Lauren woke up to see a big animal asleep in the chair. "Grr. And I thought I was being stubborn!" she thought to herself. Lauren simply stood up and stretched as she began to leave Batista's room. However, she was stopped by a hand gently grasping her wrist. Lauren looked down to see one of Batista's eyes opened and he was smirking.

"Where were you off to?" he asked.

"Well for your information, Mr. Smarty Pants, all my clothes back in my room. Plus, I need to take a shower, brush my" Lauren stopped when Batista stood up, still holding her wrist.

"Come on, I'll walk you over." Just as Lauren was about to protest, Batista gave her 'the look', and quickly closed her mouth.

Once Batista saw that everything was okay, he let Lauren go in. Lauren realized Batista was standing by the door like a bouncer. She raised an eyebrow in confusion. "May I ask as to what you're doing?"

Batista cleared his throat and looked seriously at her. "Well ma'am, we've gotten several reports about an intruder here and-"

"Oh shut up and get out!" Lauren laughed, trying to push him out of the door. After she closed the door on him, she went back to getting ready. She decided to go with a plain black tank-top with hip-hugger jeans and black combat looking boots. Lauren grabbed a purse and her cell phone as she walked out. Batista had told her about how Evolution always has breakfast together, and to meet them in the lobby when she was ready. Lauren grabbed an elevator and waited for the doors to close, when a hand shot through to stop them. Lauren's eyes widened as a familiar face came into the elevator with her.
