Chapter 45: Payback

About two more hours later, the same thing woke them up at the same time; growling stomachs. Lauren opened one eye to see Batista opening his eyes. "Now I know why they really call you the Animal, your stomach's a beast!" she giggled. Only to get a mad tickling as a response. "Stop! Stop it!" she begged.

"I haven't heard you laugh like that in a while," Batista told her. Lauren smiled back up at him.

"Maybe that was because you were the only one who could make me laugh like that," she replied softly as she pecked him on the lips. "Come on, we need fuel." Lauren hopped off the bed and headed for the door as Batista followed. "So where should we go to get some food?" she asked him.

"I don't know. Let's drive around and find out." Batista replied as he took her hand in his while they walked down the hallway to the elevator. They stopped before rounding a corner when they heard familiar voices.

"I'm telling you, if I ever find that Vixen or Batista, I'm going to kill them before he can even face me at WM!" HHH boomed while Flair walked with him. "I may hate Batista for betraying me, but it's nothing compared to that little bitch. Who the hell does she think she is, giving me a low blow in front of the entire RAW audience? I heard that she and Batista are 'separated' now. If I ever find her alone, I'm going to make her pay. Anyways, I'll catch you later Flair. I gotta head out." Flair nodded and walked off, while HHH waited for the elevator.

Lauren started getting a wicked idea in her head. She whispered it to Batista, who didn't like it, but watched Lauren walk off before he could stop her. Lauren wanted to make it obvious to HHH that she wasn't happy about him being there. She was walking up to the elevator, when she sighed "Just great." HHH turned to see her before she could go 'unnoticed'.

"Well, well. If it isn't Vixen. Where's your big man, Batista?" HHH mocked.

"It just so happens that we're not seeing each other anymore. Apparently, I wasn't good enough for him. That bastard can rot in hell for all I care!" Lauren stated angrily.

HHH became interested at this point. "Oh, really? Well, that's the kind of man he is, Vixen. He'll take a girl like you, act like you're something special, then leave you in the dust." he said, trying to seem like a good guy.

"Tell me about it. All I know is, it just went to show that I need a real man in my life," Lauren said smirking slightly at HHH. She even started walking over to the elevator, and stood next to him.

"Well, I know we've had our differences in the past, Vixen, but I've always felt that you really belonged with Evolution. I mean I know I've said some horrible things to you, but it was only because you were so easily being confused by Batista. So how about we make a fresh start?" HHH asked placing a hand on her shoulder. "Like, dinner, tonight?"

Lauren put on her famous Vixen act and stepped closer. She traced a finger down his chest while looking slyly up at him. "That sounds wonderful, Champ." HHH figured he won. "But..." HHH started to look confused. "I've already got plans with someone."

"Who would that be? Who is bigger, better, or even hotter, than me?" HHH smirked.

Lauren stepped back and pointed behind him. "He is." HHH turned around to see Batista smirking at him. "Now if you'll excuse us," Lauren said as they linked arms and walked into the available elevator laughing at him. HHH went wild and punched right through a wall.

Batista was holding Lauren around the waist. "You know you shouldn't pull that kind of crap with him. He could've hurt you before I had gotten there," he told her. Lauren simply shrugged her shoulders and leaned against him as they rode the elevator down.

Once the doors opened, they noticed Trish walking quickly through the lobby to the gym. Batista started getting his own idea, and whispered it to Lauren. Lauren was about to scold him, when he brought up the defense that she got to do it to HHH. "Fine, but NO KISSING!" she exclaimed as they both snuck to the entrance of the gym. Trish was getting ready to do some weights, as Batista made his entrance.

Just before she lifted the bar off the holders, she found two arms on each side of her. "Need a spotter?" Batista asked in a sexy voice. Trish seemed lost for words as she noticed the look in his eyes. "Looks like you got pretty beat up," he mentioned as he barely stroked her cheek.

"Well you know, the life of being a WWE Diva. Not to mention the Women's Champion, for six reigns anyway." she said trying to be sexy.

"Yeah I know. That's pretty impressive, Trish," he said stepping closer. "You know I've been thinking a lot lately and..." Batista looked down at her with all seriousness in his voice. "You were right when you said I needed a 'real' woman in my life. And I think I've found her."

Trish seemed lost for words, but decided to wrap her arms around his neck and look up at him 'sweetly'. "Oh really? And would this woman be someone I know?" she asked.

Batista nodded. "You know her, very well. In fact, she's in this very room, right now."

"I see. Well, can you point her out to me?" Trish asked trying to reach up to his lips, ready for him to point to her. When instead, he pointed behind her.

Lauren walked up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hi Trish!" she said mocking Trish's voice. Trish jumped away from Batista and landed flat on her ass.

"WHAT?" she screamed like a spoiled child. "You tricked me! Ahh!" Trish continued screaming as she grabbed her stuff and ran out of the gym.

Lauren simply rolled her eyes and looked back up at Batista. "That was more fun than I thought it was going to be," she smirked.

"Ditto." Batista smirked back and kissed her on the lips as they finally headed out to get something to eat.
