Chapter 10: One Hell of a Night

"This is going to be one hell of a night," Lauren smiled to herself. Lauren stepped in through the opening doors, and watched them close. As the lit up numbers got smaller, Lauren's heart beat faster. She started to wonder what everyone else will be wearing. Especially a certain animal. When the doors opened again, Lauren looked out into the lobby. Apparently she was the first to arrive, and walked over to the couches lined up along the wall. She sat down and looked around to see if they were there yet. Lauren was not a very patient person. Pretty soon she found that she couldn't even sit still, and stood up. Her foot tapped against the carpeted floor in frustration. "I swear, if none of them show up in the next two minutes I'll-"

"Wow, you look amazing!" Lauren spun in surprise to see a dressed up Ric Flair behind her.

"Oh Ric, it's you. You scared me!" she laughed clutching her chest. "You dress up pretty nice yourself, Nature Boy," she smiled fixing his collar. "Are Batista and HHH almost ready?"

"HHH will be down in a minute, I have no idea about Batista though," Ric added. "But my dear, you look ravishing!" Flair took her hand and spun her around to get a good look. "I think the guys are going to be pretty impressed when they get a good look at you."

"Thank you, Ric." Lauren gave him a peck on the cheek as he gave an infamous "Wooooo!" Lauren looked over his shoulder to see the two people they'd been waiting for. HHH came out of the elevator first, looking pretty hot in his white dress shirt and black pants. But Batista was another story. He wore a dark blue button up dress shirt with the top four buttons undone. Lauren almost gave a "Woooo!" herself at the sight of them.

"My don't we look lovely," HHH smirked looking at Lauren, pulling her gaze away from Batista.

"Oh, thanks Champ. You guys look pretty hot yourself," she replied. Batista hadn't said a word since they got there, and didn't even comment about how Lauren looked. "Maybe he doesn't like it," Lauren thought sadly to herself.

"Well, let's go you guys," HHH announced as they all headed to the limo. Lauren and Batista hardly spoke on the way up there, while HHH and Flair talked about how drunk they got last time. Once they arrived, they headed straight in. Lauren smiled as soon as she could hear the loud, lively music, and the awesome colored lights all around. It was hard to see who was who, so no one ran up to them asking for autographs.

They all sat in a booth and ordered some drinks. Lauren wanted to stick to soda since she wasn't much into alcohol. All of them just sat there talking while HHH and Flair continued ordering drinks, getting a little more drunk by the minute. Lauren couldn't help but feel bored since Batista wasn't talking much either. "What is his problem? He hasn't spoken a word to me all night. Maybe he's mad at me for earlier. Oh well, better make the most of this," she thought to herself. Once a very good song came on, she didn't say a word as she slipped out of their booth and made her way over to the dance floor. It was pretty crowded, but she still managed to find an available space for her to dance. The music flowed through her, pushing all negative thoughts of the evening away. Her body twirled, spun, and moved to the music perfectly. She was too busy to notice two different pairs of eyes watching her. One of them started staggering towards her, with a lustful smirk on his face.

The other pair of eyes glowered at the man coming towards Lauren. He stood up and started his way over to her as well.

Lauren was oblivious to any of this and kept on dancing. Until she spun right into someone's chest. "Oh! Sorry about that," she said nervously. The man just smirked at her awkwardly. She gave him a weird look and started to step away a little bit.

"That's okay," he said grabbing her wrist. "You can make it up to me by sharing a dance with me." He pulled her to his chest and practically started suffocating her. The man barely gave her any room to move on her own.

"Listen, I really need to go. Excuse me," she tried to push herself away only to be pulled back into him.

"What's the matter sweetie? You think you're too good for me?" he asked angrily, looking as if he was about to smack her. Lauren tried to brace herself for what might happen, when a new voice comes into play.

"That's exactly right," they said. Lauren turned around just in time to see a fist go right past her, into the face of her drunken 'friend'. Once the drunk was out of the picture, Lauren looked to see that it was a pissed off Batista. He looked down at her with a slight glare in his eyes. "You okay?" he asked. Lauren just glared back up at him.

"Well, I suppose next time I want to get you to talk to me, I'll just have some guy come up and assault me," she said angrily and started to push her way through the crowd away from him.

"Lauren wait!" he called out and followed her. He caught up to her and took light hold of her arm. "What are you talking about?" he asked her in confusion.

"How about you answer my question first? Why haven't you spoken to me all evening? Did I do something to upset you, or do I look horrible? Whatever it is just tell me," she told him trying to keep calm. Batista just looked away and sighed. He seemed really upset. "Batista?" Lauren asked a little more gently. Batista looked back down at her with an unreadable expression.

"Come on," he said and led her away from the noise and loud music to another side of the club. They sat down at a booth as Lauren waited for him to say something. "Look, I'm sorry that you thought I was ignoring you. It's just–H was saying stuff that got me a little steamed and I didn't want to take it out on you. So I thought it'd be better if I just didn't talk at all."

"Oh. Batista I–I'm sorry for being hard on you. I guess I was being a baby huh? Just what did HHH say to get you so upset?" Lauren asked worriedly. Batista just looked away again as if saying he didn't want to talk about it. A new song came on, giving Lauren an idea. "Come on," she said and led him back to the dance floor. "I saw you slow dance, so let's see just good you can blow the roof off this joint," she smirked and started dancing. Batista just rubbed his chin, smiling at her. Lauren then put her back up against his chest as she kept swaying left and right to the music. She soon felt Batista's hands land on her hips as he swayed with her. Pretty soon, Lauren felt herself taking Batista's hands and wrapping them all around her waist. As the song got hotter, so did they. Batista's hands wrapped tighter and tighter around her, while Lauren's hands traveled up and down the Animal's chest. After a while Lauren started getting tired and sweaty. She suggested that they go sit down with Flair and HHH.

"Hey! There's our little couple. So what have you guys been up to?" HHH slurred. Lauren looked to Batista who just shook his head in disappointment. "Come on Vi-Vixen, let's dance!" HHH grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her to his chest. Batista came up behind her and gently pushed HHH away from her.

"Come on, H. Looks like you had a little too much to drink. Let's get you back to the hotel. You too Ric," Batista said.

"Aw come on Dave! The night's young, and so are all the nice ladies in this joint! Wooooo!" Flair yelled and then passed out across the table.

"Looks like we have a bit of a problem," Lauren chuckled. "How are we going to get them back to the hotel?" she asked.

"I'll have the driver bring the limo around. Just sit tight, and I'll be back in a second." Batista said and walked out the front door. Lauren sat there nervously with a very drunk HHH and a passed out Flair. She got even more nervous when HHH wrapped his large arm around her shoulders.

"Easy Lauren. Don't get all freaked out. Just wait quietly for Batista to come back," she told herself.

"Damn, Vixen. Did I tell you how hot you look tonight?" HHH slurred again.

"Yes Champ, you did," Lauren laughed nervously as she tried to scoot away from him. But he simply kept her close to him. HHH came dangerously close to her, as he lifted her chin up to face him, and came closer and closer. Before he could go any further, he passed out right into Lauren's lap. Despite what could've happened, Lauren could only laugh at HHH's stupidity due to alcohol. Batista walked back in to see Lauren's present predicament. "A little help?" she asked.

"I don't know," Batista smirked rubbing his chin. "You two actually make a cute couple."

"Oh shutup!" Lauren growled. Batista walked over and helped Lauren scoot out from under him. They both took an arm and led HHH to the limo, then went back to get Flair. They drove back to the hotel and eventually got them both up to their rooms. It took a lot of work and tired Lauren out. Batista barely broke a sweat. "That was interesting," Lauren laughed, out of breath.

"I agree," Batista said a little more seriously. He noticed the tiny bit a sweat collected on her brow and in her bangs. Her form leaning up against the wall panting. Just about fifteen minutes ago this young woman before him was dancing like crazy. Batista could still feel her hands traveling up and down his chest. He shook out of his thoughts and suggested that they call it a night. "I'll walk you to your room," he said.

"Pssh. I don't know if I'll make it that far," Lauren sighed dramatically. About two steps later she found herself being swept off her feet into Batista's arms. "Uh..." she couldn't of anything to say as Batista carried her to her room. Once he put her down, Lauren glared at him. "Okay, so that was two and a half hallways, plus five extra steps. So the fare comes to what?" she asked him. Batista just smirked down at her and gazed into her eyes.

"Surprise me," he said. Lauren just smirked back at him and stood on her tip-toes as she gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Before he could say anything, Lauren slipped into her room and locked the door.

"Well he said surprise him," she thought to herself. She couldn't ignore the heat in her cheeks. It felt nice when her lips softly grazed his cheek. "Oh yeah. This has definitely been one hell of a night," she thought to herself and got ready to go to sleep. Her thoughts oblivious to the fact that the Animal was still outside her door with his forehead laying against it, with his heart racing even as he walked back to his room to sleep.

"This was one hell of a night," he smirked to himself as he slipped into bed. "Since she surprised me, I might just have to surprise her tomorrow," he thought and went to sleep with a smirk still present on his face.
