A/N- Ok so here is number three! I'm glad people like it! Thanks for reviewing; I hope you continue to review!!!

On another note I am going away to Sydney for a couple of days, I want to work on this while I'm gone but no promises, I'll post the next chapter some time next week, so stay with me!

CHAPTER 3

"Hello, darling" he sneered

"Piss off Joey I'm not working for you any more" she spat trying to move away from him

"Listen bitch, you are MNM's property, not the property of those egotistical goons!" he snapped

"Egotistical goons, oh that sharp coming from the likes of you, Your ego is bigger than Texas and that just yours combine that with the ego of Johnny and the aura of skankiness Melina brings I'm surprised you guys fit in the one room" Elena retorted.

Her voice was full of venom, she had known MNM for years and had been with Evolution a week; she would defend her friends that had taken her under their wing so quickly.

"Bitch" his hand came down hard and strong across her face.

She yelped in pain and glared at him, this time she would fight back, her knee lifted and connected with his stomach, he took a step back and she bolted down the hall to Evolutions room, ducking in and slamming the door.

"What the hell?" Dave stared at her as if she was crazy

"Huh? Oh don't worry it's all good" she replied turning her red cheek away so he couldn't see…not quick enough

"What the hell happened to you face" he asked giving her a stern look

"Joey Mercury happened" she replied hesitantly, sure she was part of the group but she didn't want to cause more problems for them than they would have onscreen. Off screen she wanted it to be calm and not have to watch her back all the time.

"WHAT?! How?" HHH and Ric had entered the room from the showers and were staring curiously at the fuming Dave.

"He said some things I defended you guys he slapped me, I kneed him in the stomach and ran here" she said rushed

"Fuck" HHH said out of the blue "Ok, we'll handle this by using our on screen tactics…perhaps a bit of a beating is in order"

"But I'm not with you onscreen until the week after next" Elena was looking at Dave who was pacing

"True but we can work this to our advantage, we just let them think they have gotten away with it" Ric replied with an evil grin.

Elena sat by the pool relaxing she had forgotten all about the events of last nights show and was enjoying the relaxation time. A shadow cast over her and she looked up from her magazine.

"Hey" Dave said

"Hi" she replied smiling

God the man was HOT, she had noticed his looks from the very start but now he was in board shorts and nothing else almost as good as his ring attire. She felt herself blush and looked down at her magazine. "How are you?" he asked casually

"I'm good, what's happening?" she said resting on the edge of the pool

"Randy said you were here, thought I'd come down and see ya" he smiled taking a seat on the chair beside her

He had noticed the blush and smiled, so she felt something but he wasn't going to move in yet, he would build a solid friendship first.

They sat there talking for hours, asking questions and learning about each other. She learnt about his life off screen, friends and family. In return she told him about her hell with MNM and how Evolution had saved her, her family life minus the unknown father and anything before the age of 18.

"Can I help you with anything else" she asked smirking

"Depends" … replied grinning

"On what?" she asked pretending to be un-interested

"On if you go in the pool willingly, if not then I'll be 'HELPING' you" he smirked.

She raised an eye brow and shook her head "Tell me, is that a threat?"

"A promise" he replied, he picked her up and chucked her in the pool.

"DAVE!" she squealed and swam to the side of the pool, he held his hand out and she swatted it away.

"You are so mean!" she pouted and soon found herself being lifted out of the pool and set on the ground.

"No, you love me" he said cockily

Elena laughed and smirked "Hey Dave, tell me…" she pushed him with all her mite "How's the water on your end?" she looked at the face he was pulling and knew it meant nothing but trouble.

Grabbing her magazine and towel she bolted from the pool area and to the lift, the doors were closing and she sighed with relief.

Her relief however was short lived when she got off the elevator; there stood a soaking Dave with a smirk

"Stairs" was all he said before picking her up throwing her over his shoulder and taking off to the Suite.

Dave dropped her on the couch unceremoniously and grabbed water from the fridge.

"You all ready fro RAW?" He dropped beside her and pulled her in close so she could rest on him.

"Yep, you guys are gunna LOVE me!" She replied with a mischievous grin

"What have you got planned?" she shrugged and stayed silent

"Tell me or I might have to punish you" he threatened with a smirk

"OH Dear god…No not punishment by Dave!" she squealed in fake fear

He pulled her so she was sitting in his lap and started tickling her mercilessly

"Stop, ok I'll tell!!" she calmed down and was about to explain when the other three walked into the room, "Sorry cant now" she jumped of his lap kissed his cheek and darted to her room, avoiding the questioning looks that they were giving her.
