I couldn't believe what I was hearing; Dave was asking Eli and I to come and stay with him, the three of us together in his house for an entire week. Would this take our 'relationship' to another level? Was he just asking me in hope that if I accepted he'd get to have sex with me? Sure he hadn't pushed anything; he hadn't even kissed me on the cheek since the pancake incident but I was still worried, I didn't want to do anything to make him think that he could have his way with me. I asked questions, hoping to buy some time, and as I listened to his answers Shane's voice ran through my head reminding me that Dave was NOT Conner. In the end I was so exhausted that I just accepted the offer, I'd probably forget about it but I had a feeling Dave would ensure I followed through.

Before I Eli was born I was able to stay up all night then go to class that morning before work that afternoon and stay up until 10pm or later. Now if I don't get enough sleep I struggle the whole next day and usually crash the same time Eli does, I had been more exhausted since I'd began with the WWE but they told that was normal. I must have fallen asleep on the way back to the hotel as when I opened my eyes Dave was carrying me through the lobby; I quite liked what was going on so I just closed my eyes leaning my head against his strong chest. It wasn't long before I once again fell asleep yet I was coherent enough to know we weren't alone in the elevator, I distinctly heard Sandman's deep voice rib Dave but was too tired to laugh at his comment. Instead I made a mental note of the incident to tell Alex about later, she was in love with the man and it would drive her insane knowing that I'd been in the lift with him and didn't even speak. When I woke up again the sun was beginning to peek through the curtains and I wasn't alone, I was wrapped in the arms of one Dave Bautista. Panic rushed through me until I realised he was still fully clothed, even his shoes were still on, he must have put me to bed and I wouldn't let him leave.

A week later Dave, Eli and I flew from Colorado to Washington D.C to relax a little before Summer Slam, we had the blessing of 2 days and 2 nights off with the third day being taken up by preparation for the pay per view. Eli understood that the president lived in Washington and as far as he was concerned it meant he'd get to meet the man. While my son wasn't a fan of the president he felt he had some important things to say that could only be said by a three year old boy. I promised that I would take him to the Whitehouse but we would only be allowed on a tour if the President wasn't there and the chances of Eli meeting the man were extremely slim. I wanted to go see the building and get a chance for a bit of fun photography.

I wanted to get a rental car to ensure that we wouldn't be forced to rely on Dave for transportation and drag him around like a tourist. But Dave insisted we catch a cab back to his house and said that we could use one of his several cars to get around. As the cab pulled into Dave's drive my jaw dropped, he hadn't exaggerated when he said his house was huge, it was a bloody mansion. I was bound to get lost more than once and I could have sworn that a small country could have lived there comfortably. Entering the house just confirmed my thoughts, the outside was deceptive.

"Wow this place is HUGE," Eli exclaimed as his jaw dropped,

"Yea I know! I should probably sell it and get something smaller but it's a connection to the girls," Dave replied indicating for us to follow him down the hall so that he could give us the 'grand tour'. He showed us the rooms we would stay in, thankfully they were beside each other, then took us to the kitchen and family room before taking us upstairs and showing us the girl's rooms and his own.

"There is a whole other wing down there but I'm not sure what it is, I always get lost when I head there," Dave's reaction made us laugh, I had no issues believing that Dave was telling the truth.

"Mommy can I go 'xploring down there?" Eli asked eager to discover a new area,

"No, if Dave gets lost down there so will you! You'll stay out of that wing and away from the girl's bedrooms"

"Who's the girls?" Eli asked scratching his head slightly,

"Eli I told you about my daughters; Rachel, Mel and Hailey remember?" Dave asked holding up what seemed to be a relatively recent picture.

"No" Eli shook his head.

"Your daughters are beautiful, they got lucky they look absolutely nothing like you," I winked up at the man who smirked slightly.

"And your son got lucky, he looks everything like you," he laughed throwing me off slightly we could have continued our conversation, if that's what you'd call it, for hours but Eli yawned reminding me that it was getting near his bedtime and we hadn't eaten in a few hours so the boy must have been starving.

"Any chance that you have food in the house?" I asked looking around trying to remember where the kitchen was,

"Do TV dinners count as food? I, uh, can't cook Angie and Michelle always took care of that," Dave responded blushing slightly,

"There is a pizza place down the road?" The man suggested when he saw me roll my eyes,

"Pizza tonight but tomorrow we'll go grocery shopping and I'll teach you to cook," I laughed, it wasn't the first time I'd encountered a man who didn't know his way around the kitchen and I had made it my personal mission to change that.

We called the pizza place and ordered one large and one medium pizza to be delivered, while eating out was good when you are on the road constantly you are always eating out and never really get the chance to sit at home relaxing. While we waited for the pizza I got Eli changed for bed and he suggested we have a bit of a pyjama party, or at least have dinner with all of us in our pyjamas. I told Eli that he would have to suggest the idea to Dave because I wasn't going to, amazingly Dave actually agreed to the idea so he and I got into our pyjamas. Dave's room was upstairs so I was already finished and sitting in the lounge with Eli when Dave joined us. As he entered my gaze was torn away from my son and my jaw dropped. The man was wearing a white wife beater with silk Scooby Doo boxer shorts and he looked gorgeous, his shirt perfectly outlined his muscular body the only way you could possibly see any more of his chest was if he was wearing nothing but his ring kit. All coherent thought left my mind nor did I hear the conversation between my son and the man I was staring at, I was in a trance and couldn't turn my head away. He looked absolutely gorgeous and like a little kid at the same time, his boxer shorts gave him a playful and dare I say cute look.

"…MOMMY!?" Eli cried forcing my attention away from the Scooby Doo clad backside that I had a perfect view of.

"What?"

"You going to sit and eat dinner with us?" Eli asked indicating to the pizza that Dave was setting on the family room coffee table.

"She's coming Eli, she was just distracted," Dave replied glancing back at me and actually wiggling his Scooby Doo clad butt. I couldn't believe it, was he flirting with me? Or just teasing me because he'd caught me staring? It bought back the question I'd had after our first and only kiss, does he expect me to sleep with him?

"Yea, after all how often do you see a fully grown man in children's boxer shorts?" I replied attempting to cover up what I was doing. I sat down on the carpet beside my son and passed him a piece of pizza, realising as I did the pyjama idea was probably bad as my son was more than likely going to make a complete mess of himself and I would have to change him anyway.

Sure enough by the time Eli had finished eating his second piece he had pizza all over him,

"Mommy I'm full!"

"Ok, let's get you changed and put you to bed, we've got a busy day tomorrow. Say goodnight to Dave," I said pulling my son's shirt off and wiping his face with it before directing him over to Dave. After Eli said goodnight to the man I took him up to bed and decided to let him sleep in just his boxer shorts instead of using one of his t-shirts, besides he wanted to be just like Dave so I decided to let him. I began to read to Eli, I read to him just about every night and he usually asked for me to read from the Bible. Eli had been asleep for about two minutes when I felt another presence in the room, I looked back and sure enough Dave was standing there, this time his wife beater was gone and he was just in his Scooby Doo boxer shorts. My heart beat faster, he did want me to sleep with him, I couldn't believe it.

"You know he's asleep right?"

"Yea, but I always finish the passage I promised to read," I answered after finishing the passage I was reading and closing the book,

"Why?"

"Because it will drift into his subconscious mind and stay there, besides he knows if I stop."

"Why the bible?"

"Why not? It's his favourite book, besides you're never too young to hear about the word of God" I replied shrugging before kissing my son's forehead and heading towards the door.

"I guess so. He looks so cute asleep," Dave shrugged changing the subject; it wasn't one we'd exactly spoken about much.

"Yea"

"You don't look bad yourself, I like your shirt," he smiled softly indicating to my shirt that had Tweety bird with his arms crossed saying 'I don't do mornings'.

"Thanks, your boxer shorts are pretty cute. But Eli now wants a matching pair," Dave just smirked slightly and shrugged so I pushed him backwards half tickling him at the same time. He stepped back and leant over my head to close Eli's door taking the opportunity to wrap his arms around me giving me a hug before leaning down to brush his lips against mine. However before our lips had a chance to meet my cell phone rang allowing me to pull away without seeming too rushed, despite the fact my heart was beating and I was eager for an escape.

"Talk to me" I rushed into the phone trying to calm myself down.

"I'm coming to Summer Slam!" My best friend rushed out, I had managed to secure her some tickets but she had to get time off work and was able to get an airfare.

"That's great! I can't wait to see you"

"Same so how are things going at Dave's house?"

"Alright, this place is huge though" I replied trying to indicate in my voice that I needed to talk to her more but I was painfully aware that Dave was in the room packing up the pizza.

"I see, I see"

"Is that Alex?" Dave turned and asked before recieiving a nod as an answer. I'd told him I was waiting on her call to determine whether she was coming to the pay per view or not and more importantly if she was going to take my son back home with her.

"If she hasn't got a place to stay she can stay with us"

"Hang on a second Al" I said taking my cell phone from my ear and holding it to my chest.

"She's got a 4 year old"

"That's alright, the more the merrier" Dave smiled and turned back to his cleaning,

"Are you sure you want two little boys running around the place?"

"Sure why not?"

"Alright it's your house, Al you still there?"

"Yep" My best friend responded.

"Want to come stay at Dave's with us? He just offered" I asked in a slightly pleading tone, with Alex around for a couple of days it would mean that there would be less chance for Dave and I to be alone and anything to happen.

"You want me and Jimmy to come stay with Dave, Eli and yourself?"

"Yes! It'd be great, plus it'll save you a bunch of money. You'll be getting accommodation, Summer Slam tickets, and backstage passes for the price of the airfare"

"Sounds like a good deal,"

"Of course it is" I smiled before telling my best friend the arena Summer Slam would be held so that she could catch a cab there from the airport on the day of the pay per view. Alex and I chatted a moment or two more before ensuring the plans for the weekend and saying goodbye.

I ended the call and looked around to see if there was any cleaning left to be done, amazingly there wasn't, although there was a large man sitting on the edge of the couch.

"We need to talk."

A/N: OHO Dave said the T word!! Thanks for the reviews!
