Chapter 72: Hell Yeah It Could!
As soon as Vixen had her title in her hands, she got a mic and yelled in Trish's face, "Next week, you and me bitch! No disqualifications...no mercy!" Vixen threw the mic down as she and Lita exited the ring, both holding each other's wrist as they headed up the ramp.
They parted ways at the curtain, with Vixen going to meet Batista and Lita going to meet Kane. Vixen walked into the locker room to see that Batista had disappeared. I wonder where he went off to. He doesn't have any matches tonight, Vixen thought. She closed the door, only to gasp in surprise to see what was attached to it. A gorgeous dress hung there, and it looked her size. It was a light lavender dress that had the top two inches split, tied together loosely. The shoulder straps were strings that wrapped around the back and crossed on the neck. The dress hugged the figure tightly until the hips, where it flowed out with a train in the back. Lauren covered her mouth at the beauty of the dress, and discovered a note clipped to it.
Put this on. When you're ready head down to the curtain. You won't regret it.
Lauren could only assume that it was Batista who had done this. "But why would I go to the curtain? RAW's over." she wondered, but did as she was asked. She found silver heels to match the dress, which fit her like a dream. Lauren looked herself in the mirror and couldn't help but feel beautiful. She let her hair down, with it all cascading down her right shoulder, and touch of makeup before she was out the locker room.
Lauren got whistles and gasps of awe as she walked down the halls to the curtain. Once she got there, a stagehand told her to wait for only a few more minutes. Lauren started shaking, not knowing what was happening.
"They're ready for you Ms. Vixen," the stagehand said, pulling back the curtain for her. Lauren took a deep breath and started walking through the curtain. As soon as she passed it, almost all the lights in the arena were off. The only true lights were the ones lighting the ramp, which guided her to the ring. Once she stepped onto the ramp, music started playing. And not just any music, it was 'Si Volvieras A Mi' by Josh Groban.
What in the world is going on? Lauren thought as she slowly made her way down the dimly lit ramp to the ring. She could still see faces of audience members as she passed them. The show's over, shouldn't they be leaving? What could they be waiting for? Lauren finally stopped at the last light on the ramp, unable to see past it. Once she was there, all the arena lights started to slowly come on.
Lauren covered her mouth in shock at the sight before her. The entire ring was decorated with white ribbon covering the ropes, pink rose petals all around and in the ring. Vases of white roses at each turnbuckle, tied with gold and silver balloons. The ring was a beautiful sight to say the least. However what truly took her breath away was Batista, standing on the apron, sharply dressed in a black suit, a big smile on his face. Though he looked a little nervous.
Lauren was in too much shock to be hearing her favorite song, the ring beautifully decorated, herself in a gorgeous gown, and her man in a handsome suit, to notice Batista motioning his hand to the steel steps. Lauren slowly made her way over, to see Batista offer his hand to help her up. Lauren took her dress in one hand, and gave her other to Batista who helped her up and sat on the ropes for her.
Once Lauren was in the ring, Batista gently took her hand in his and brought her to the middle of the ring. He lifted a microphone to his lips as he looked Lauren in the eyes.
"I'm sure you're wondering what's going on," Batista started, with Lauren barely able to nod, still adjusting to everything that was happening. "Well, I told you that I was gonna make last week up to you," he chuckled, still with a nervous quiver in his voice. Lauren smiled and looked around at everything he did for her. "But, there's a bigger reason I did this." Lauren turned and looked at him, a sweet smile on her face. She saw Batista look down, rubbing his thumb over her hand.
Batista finally looked up into her eyes again, seeing her mouth "It's okay, tell me" to him. Batista took a deep breath and raised the mic to his lips again.
"Lauren, you are a wonderful, smart and breathtaking young woman. I'm the luckiest man on earth right now, to have you standing here before me, and for me to be able to say that you're mine." Batista smiled, as Lauren blushed and looked down, ready to cry. "You've been with me through everything, and I can't thank you enough for that. All I can say is, that I hope you'll be with me through trials in the future." Lauren noticed him get down on knee, and reaching into his pocket. She almost fainted to see him pull out a little velvet box, open it, and reveal a beautiful diamond ring. "Lauren, I've been wanting this for a long time. Will you marry me?" he asked.
Lauren had to take a step back, and realize what was happening. Batista, the love of her life, was kneeling in front of her, with a diamond ring, asking her to marry him. Lauren looked speechless at him, as he waited patiently on one knee for her answer. She let out a laugh as she heard the audience yell "Say Yes! Say Yes!"
Lauren walked back up to Batista, tears running down her face. She gently took the microphone into her hands, "Yes I will."
That was all Batista needed to hear as he jumped up and took Lauren into his arms and held her tight. He was almost to tears himself as he held Lauren close to his chest. Batista released her only to place the lovely ring onto her hand. Batista then claimed her lips passionately as he dipped her, feeling Lauren wrap her arms tightly around his neck. Once they got their breath back, Batista pointed to a stagehand beside the ring, who released gold and silver confetti onto the ring.
Lauren then heard 'I Knew I Loved You' by Savage Garden playing from the speakers, as Batista bowed and asked for a dance. Lauren happily accepted as Batista took one hand in his and wrapped the other around Lauren's waist. Lauren was crying tears of sincere joy into his shoulder, as he held her tightly.
"You just made me the happiest man on Earth," Batista whispered to her, through the audience's loud cheers.
"And you just made me the happiest woman." Lauren replied as she kissed him on the lips. Once the song was over, Batista lifted Lauren into his arms and put her over the ropes onto the apron. He jumped down and took Lauren into his arms again as he carried her up the ramp, kissing her the entire way.
Batista asked for a limo to pick them up and take them to a special dinner waiting for them. As soon as they were inside, they continued to kiss and hold each other, expressing their joy for their engagement.
"You have no idea how happy I am," Batista told her, kissing her palm.
Lauren smirked up at him and said, "Honey, you ain't seen nothing yet." and claimed his lips once again. I guess you can live happily ever after, she thought to herself as they drove, the newly engaged Batista and Vixen. Once they were back at the hotel, their celebrations in the past were nothing compared to their celebration that night.
A/N: YES! IT FINALLY HAPPENED! Lol. I've been DYING to write this chapter. I just hope you all enjoyed it. As for the dress, I looked on Google for dress ideas, and I just HAD to use this one. The damn site wouldn't let me post the website I got the dress from. If you really want to know what it looks like I'll try to send the link to you. Thank you so much for all the reviews, and the support up to this point. If anyone has any wedding ideas, feel free to tell me! Thanks again:)
