Chapter 41: Not A Typical Friday Night

Well it was a typical Friday night planned for Lauren and the girls. They knew that WM 21 was that coming Sunday, and that their guys were going to need their 'encouragement' on Saturday. As far as they figured, Friday would be their last night for them in a while. No one knew how WM was going to end, or how it would affect everyone. For all they knew, it could change everything for all of them. So, Lauren decided to grab Lita, Stacy, and even Christy and Maria to go hit a club. They were all dressed hot, and ready to party. Lauren got the limo for them to pick everyone up in front of the hotel and take them to the club. She was wearing a short black skirt, heels that raised her about 3 inches, and a blood-red shirt that had no back and revealed her toned stomach. She felt sexy, but still wished someone would tell her so (preferably a male). They all walked in, noting the hot music, and the awesome surroundings. They decided to start off with a few drinks, and simply gossip.

"So, Stacy?" Lita asked with a smirk and her brow raised. Stacy just started blushing, and acted dumb about what they were all wondering.

"What?" she asked innocently as she took a long sip of her drink.

"Oh come on! What's going on with you and Benoit?" Lauren begged. Stacy decided to end her sip, and rolled her eyes.

"Okay, okay. Well, that night Chris took me back to the hotel, and all we really did was talk. But I loved it when he carried me up to my room. He even stayed with me for a while to make sure I was okay. Just before he left, I gave him my cell number, and he called me the next day. He asked me if I wanted to have dinner with him. So I said yes, and we went to a really nice restaurant, and we even danced. He was such a gentleman," she sighed as she started dazing and forgetting that the girls were there. She remembered them when they all yelled, 'AND?'. "So we drove back to the hotel, walked up and just talked in my room for a little while. I didn't want him to leave, so I suggested a movie. We both watched Dodgeball, and laughed our butts off. Before I knew it, I was leaning on his shoulder, and his arm was wrapped around me. I didn't know if I was excited, or scared."

"Why would you be scared?" Lauren asked her.

"I mean, Randy...he actually...anyways what if Chris leads me on too? What if he just ends up hurting me? I really like him, and I feel something different with him than I did with Randy. It was like with Randy, we were only together because it seemed expected of us, you know? But with Chris, it's like it's all our own. It's really hard to explain," Stacy said looking down at her twiddling thumbs. Lauren nodded in understanding while looking at her confused friend.

"Stacy, Benoit is a great man. He knows how to treat a woman, and you're a wonderful girl. You're sweet, beautiful, and you care about other people. I'm sure that if you wanted to, you and Benoit could really have a great relationship," Lauren told her as the other girls agreed. Stacy smiled and looked like she wanted to ask something. "Just ask Stacy!" Lauren laughed.

"Would you mind if I...called him?" she asked meekly. The girls all looked at each other, then yelled 'GO!' Stacy jumped up and went to invite him to the club. Lauren was happy to see Stacy smiling again. What Randy did to her was not only cowardly, but also disgraceful. She could understand the pain she felt after it happened. Stacy came back a few moments later with a bigger smile on her face. "He said he'll be here in about ten minutes!"

"Well let's hit the dance floor then!" Christy cheered and ran out into the dancing crowd. The rest of the girls laughed and followed her example. They all stayed and danced together in a huge circle, as each girl jumped into the middle and showed her stuff. Just before Stacy could jump in, someone took her wrist from behind. Stacy whipped around to find a very upset Randy Orton.

"Having fun?" he asked with a creepy smile on his face. Stacy looked like she had seen a ghost and ripped her hand from his. She backed away as Maria and Christy kept her between them, while Lita and Lauren stood in front of her. "My, you ladies are looking lovely tonight. Too bad you're all here by yourselves, but it looks like I get to have you all to myself," he stated with his cocky attitude.

Lita and Lauren simply scoffed as they stood there with their arms crossed. "Yeah, how about we bring you back to reality for a second, Orton?" Lita said with anger in her voice.

"Yeah because last I checked, I kicked your sorry ass for messing with my friend. This time might be a little different, since there are six of us, and one of you." Lauren pointed out.

"Looks like you can't count, Vixen. Because not only are there only five of you, but after I take what I came here for, there will only be four of you." Orton replied looming over Lita and Lauren.

"Actually, you can't count Orton. Because you failed to notice our friend behind you," Lauren smirked. Orton simply scoffed like he didn't believe her. At least until he felt someone tap on his shoulder from behind. He turned around and was met by a fist to the face, at the hands of a very pissed Chris Benoit. Stacy looked relieved as Benoit took Orton by the shirt and led him towards the closest exit door. They heard him yell his statement as he threw him out.

"If you ever mess with Stacy again, I'll rip that cocky smirk right off your sorry face asshole!" he yelled and walked back in to meet up with the rest of the girls. "You all okay?" he asked them. They all nodded as Stacy looked like she was about to cry. She took little time in running to him and clutching to his chest. "It's all right, he ain't gonna bother you anymore." he whispered to her and held her. "Come on, we could all use a drink," he smirked and walked them all to their booth.

"Wow Benoit, looks like you're gonna have a good night," Lita chuckled.

"How so?" he chuckled back.

"Well let's see, you got to kick Orton's sorry ass, and you're surrounded by RAW's hottest Divas. Looks like a dream come true for you," she laughed as the others joined in. They all watched as Stacy and Benoit kept gazing at each other. Stacy finally asked him to dance with her, as he took her by the hand onto the dance floor. 'Go Stacy!' they all called out to her.

Benoit and Stacy really got into the dance, and were holding each other close. All the girls watched in awe as they continued dancing. "Okay, enough feeling sorry for ourselves. Let's grab some man and get our asses out there," Lita cheered setting down her drink and walking off to find someone to dance with. Maria followed, as Christy noticed Lauren not making a move to join them.

"Coming Lauren?" she asked. Lauren simply shook her head no and watched them out on the dance floor. After a while, she started overhearing a conversation behind her.

"Okay, tell it to me again! I never get enough of this story!" a woman said.

"Okay. Well you know I've been trying to work my magic on him for about a month, right? Well, it seemed like it was 'the real deal' between him and his so called 'woman'. So I decided to take that extra step," another woman bragged.

Why does that voice sound familiar? Lauren wondered and decided to keep listening.

A/N: HA! Take that Orton! Ok, I think I'm actually gonna start responding to reviews. I just love seeing those, I don't know why!

LittleIrish22: Oh my god. I checked my email and saw your review was so long, and I got scared. I thought you were flaming me or something. I appreciate your compliments, and I'm glad I could convert you to an Animal Lover, lol. Thanks again!

MissPhilippinesSuperStar: They will! Never fear! lol.

Mrs. Orton-Cena: (strokes chin) Perhaps, we shall see. lol. I'm glad you love it. Love, not like, love. lol.

FastFuriousChick: Yes. Yes you are, lol. But at least you still reviewed, right? I don't know if Batista is coming for ME, but I wish he would, lol. Don't worry, they will be together soon. VERY soon.

Tador: I agree, you're absolutely right. But we're just going to have to wait and see what happens. Even though I already know since I wrote it, hehe.

Foolishangel87: (Please don't be offended by me capitalizing your 'f', lol) AAAAHHH! Even I screamed 'cus I updated, lol. You have no idea how sweet it would be to have Batista as my bodyguard. But in reality, he'd probably have to be guarded from me ;)

Queen Li: HELL YEAH! We're far from over baby! Luv ya too!

Takerschick: (yes, I capitalized your 't'. I'm sorry) lol. Maybe I won't put them back together just to spite you, lol. I could you know, but too many would hate me, and probably sue me. I'm too sensitive for that kind of stuff! I need Batista to protect me! If you really want them back together, deliver Batista to my door with a bouquet of flowers and that sexy smile and...yeah. ;)

Nightwoman: (capitalized 'n'. It is not an illusion) Thank you! So I guess since this is the next chapter, I should be able to see you. But...I don't...oh my god I'm blind! AAAAHHHH!

I LOVE YOU ALL:)
