"Wake up, Ames!" Trish shouted from the redheads bedside.
The redhead stirred from her sleep, her head felt as if someone was drilling a hole through her skull. After her chat with Adam, the former women's champion, laughing and dancing, downed a few shots with some of her former colleagues.
"Jesus…" Amy swore, holding her skull. Every sound in the house was excruciatingly loud and painful, from the zip of Trish's skirt to the sound of the TV in the living room.
"Here, swallow that and get your ass up. We're meeting everyone for breakfast." Jeff said, entering the room and placing a few aspirins and a cup of water on the bedside table.
After the previous night, Phil and Trish took the responsibility of getting everyone back to the hotel, Amy, in her drunken state puked on the reception table and collapsed in the elevator with Jeff taking the duty of carrying her to his and Trish's room.
"Ugh. You guys go without me, I can barely manage to get out of bed without breaking my back rather than walk to some café and deal with you guys." Amy muttered before swallowing both aspirin and collapsing back onto the single bed.
"Remind me never to go drinking with you again…later Ames." Jeff sighed, walking out of the room, Trish muttered goodbye as well and left Amy in the empty hotel room to deal with the hangover from hell.
--
"Hey guys, Amy couldn't make it, she got the hangover from hell." Trish said as she sat down, greeting all of her friends who were all either dating, engaged or married. Looking around the table, Trish noted the different relationships.
Mickie and Phil smiling broadly and holding hands on top of the table, they had been dating ever since they wrestled together in TNA. Beside them, Stephanie rested her head on Chris' shoulder who seemed to be unconscious behind his dark shades. Lisa and Randy were sipping coffee with Randy blinking slowly as if he had just woken up, Jay and Nora were holding hands under the table but Jay seemed barely aware of anything going around him and finally, Trish and Jeff, both grinning at the state of all their friends.
"Yeah, neither could Adam. Man, those guys got hammered last night." Randy said, waking up from his daze.
"Randy, did you forget how hammered YOU got last night? Or am I gonna have to call John up and ask him how his lap dance was last night?" Victoria asked Randy, eyeing him questioningly.
"That's ok Vic, you don't need to do that…" Randy stuttered nervously, raising his hands in front of him.
"Yeah…Besides, I got the whole thing on my phone!" Phil added, chuckling as he reached for his phone to the dismay of Randy.
Chris chuckled, breaking his silence, "Seems to me like Junior secretly dreamt of being a stripper, you dance like a woman! And according to this video, you drink like one as well!" Chris stated as he watched Phil's small phone, his booming laughter following the statement. Everyone else on the table chuckled at Chris' joke except for Randy and Stephanie.
"YOU don't say a WORD, Chris Irvine! Did you forget how you danced on the bar Coyote Ugly style? Or how about walking down the hallways of the hotel singing the Canadian anthem?" Stephanie said, slapping her husband across the face playfully.
"Baby, are you sure that wasn't you?" Chris replied turning to look into Stephanie's eyes which he immediately regretted as Stephanie was giving him a death stare. Swiftly, the blonde turned away and changed the subject.
"So…Did Amy and Adam get back together?"
"Don't think so. Apparently, they're just 'friends' but that's gonna change real soon…" Jay replied, snapping out of his daze.
"How are you so sure?" Randy asked, still sulking about being caught on film.
"Well…Adam is my best friend and I know him. He'll be back with Amy by tomorrow…" Captain Charisma replied confidently. He was glad to be back onto the WWE, even if he wasn't wrestling just yet, he enjoyed being with his friends.
"Wanna bet on that?" Chris asked, perking up slightly. He was always in the mood to gamble.
"What do you mean? Like, start a pool for the day Adam and Amy get together and we bet on the day?" Phil asked curiously, joining the conversation. He and Mickie were the newest members of the group as they both didn't start in the WWE as early as the others but everyone accepted them as friends.
"Yeah! Each couple could pick a date for when they think Amy and Adam will get back and the winner is the person who gets the right date." Jay added happily. If the bet was to get into place, he would definitely win as he knew Adam better than anyone and could convince him to do anything.
"That's just wrong, betting on our friends…Aren't I right, Steph?" Trish said, disapprovingly. The bet did seem fun but they couldn't mess with Adam and Amy's relationship just to win a few bucks.
"Hell no! Me and Jerky got this in the bag! So how much are we talking each?" Stephanie answered, leaning in to hear more details.
Trish gaped at the Billion Dollar Princess before turning to Lisa pleadingly.
"Come on guys, this is just wrong."
"Oh Trish, just cos you and Jeff haven't got a chance in hell doesn't-"
"What?" Trish asked calmly, breaking off Lisa's statement, "If you guys do remember, Amy is my best friend and I'm only disapproving because it's wrong, not because I can't whoop all your asses in the one go."
Jeff gawked at his girlfriend. He had never seen Trish so competitive and to be honest, it kind of turned him on.
"Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is Trisha?" Jericho asked, stirring the Canadian diva.
"How much?" Mickie asked, hyping up excitedly for the bet.
"I think $100 each would be reasonable." Jay answered.
"Hell no, if I'm going into this, I'm coming out with more than the property damage you guys caused last night. $200 each." Lisa said confidently. Chris smirked, Stephanie held his hand tight, a competitive smile glued to her face. Jay grinned excitedly, ready to win the bet with Nora who was grinning also. Phil and Mickie were holding each other's hand and beaming at everyone face; the bet seemed to bring together all the couples as everyone was holding their partner closely.
"Ok. But first we need to establish a few ground rules." Stephanie added firmly with everyone else nodding to hear the rules, "Rule number 1. We cannot interfere on the dating progress. We gotta let Amy and Adam find each other normally."
Everybody at the table nodded. It only seemed fair that they couldn't impact the progress.
"Rule number 2. Amy and Adam cannot under all circumstances know about the bet, the team which slips it gets disqualified." Jay stated. The remaining people on the table shuffled unsurely but nodded anyway, adding another rule.
"Rule number 3. A team cannot sabotage another team." Mickie declared. All the couples nodded, it was only fair that a couple couldn't interfere with fate.
"Rule number 4. I get to hold the money." Chris said.
"NO!" Exclaimed everyone at the table, including Stephanie.
"I can hold the money if you guys want." Phil shrugged.
Everybody, except for Chris nodded, agreeing that the straightedge superstar should hold the money.
"So what? Just because he's straightedge he gets to hold the money?" Chris asked angrily, looking from person to person on the table who just shrugged and nodded. Chris sighed and sat back down, slumping in his chair.
"Ok. That seems to cover it...Me and Vic are in." Randy said, forking out $200 and placing it on the table. All of the other couples followed suit and threw the money in the middle of the table.
The bet had officially begun…
