"Were you able to get them?" Dave spoke into his cell phone as he hailed a taxi to take him back to the hotel. "Okay so everything is set then. Thanks, I owe you one." Smiling Dave closed his phone and leaned his head back on the seat willing the taxi to hurry back to the hotel. He couldn't wait to get back and see Kadence. He realized that most of his free time he was thinking about his partner. Frowning he wondered what it would take for her to realize that they were good together.
While he pondered how to get Kadence to see him as more than a friend and partner, the taxi pulled up to the front of the hotel. Stepping out of the taxi, Dave paid the driver and hurried into the lobby. Smiling he headed to the elevator, knowing that if Kadence was with him she would make him take the stairs. Getting off on his floor, he started towards his room. As her approached his room, he heard female laughter from behind the door. Rolling his eyes, he knew that Kadence and Mickie James had commandeered his room again. After Kadence and he had become partners, they had started getting connecting rooms. Now whenever he was out of his room, Kadence would take over. She insisted that his room was more comfortable than hers. Dave was pretty much helpless to tell her no, besides he liked having her in his space.
"You're back!" Kadence squealed, jumping off the bed, coming towards Dave as he entered the room.
"What do you want?" Dave cautiously backed up, knowing the look in her eyes as she approached.
"Well…" Kadence drew in a huge breath. "Mickie and I want to go shopping but we don't have anyone to carry the bags for us." Kadence looked up at Dave with puppy dog eyes. "Is there any chance you are free and would like to help out two powerless girls?"
Sighing Dave knew that there was no way he would be able to turn her down. "Fine, but let me get changed." Kadence smiled and threw her arms around his neck.
"Thanks Davey boy. You're the best!" Kadence grabbed Mickie's hand and pulled her into the other room to let Dave change. Shaking his head, Dave smiled as he slipped into jeans and a t-shirt. When he was ready to go, he knocked on the connecting door before entering to find the girls waiting impatiently for him.
After spending several hours following the girls around the mall, Dave was exhausted and very thankful that they were heading back to the hotel. He listened in amazement as Kadence and Mickie spoke rapidly about random things. He couldn't believe how much energy the girls still had. It seemed that the longer they shopped, the more energized they got, while he was being drained of his very life force. When they pulled up to the hotel, Dave sighed knowing he was going to have to carry all the shopping bags up to the rooms and since he was with Kadence he knew they would be taking the stairs.
Kadence glanced over at Dave and noticed how tired he was. Smiling, she hopped out of the car and flagged down a bell hop. Flashing the poor guy a huge smile, she proceeded to convince him to carry all the bags up to her room, where they would go through them. Dave laughed at Kadence's antics and felt a sense of relief that he didn't have to carry the bags himself.
