Chapter 6: Chapter 6
Life can't get any better than this. Everything in my life is so much better now that I have my writing and Taylor. He's made everything make sense since I moved here, and now he's here with me.
Felicia stared down at Taylor's sleeping face, and she kissed him on his forehead.
"I love you." She whispered
Then she fell asleep thinking about Taylor.
Unexpected Visit
New York City, New York
Felicia sat at the round table with several other authors as she waited nervously for her name to be called. She had been nominated for best-selling novel in the year 2008. As she sat sweating bullets, she noticed all of friends standing in the back of the large ballroom. Then all of the nervousness soon dissipated and she began to get anxious.
"Now the moment we've all been waiting for. The award for best-selling novel of 2008 is…Felicia Gilbert!" said the woman
Felicia started smiling uncontrollably as she stood from her seat. The dress she wore was a Tulle covered halter dress from Fredrick's of Hollywood. Her micro braids were neatly placed in a French bun, and the diamond earrings she wore sparkled in the light as she walked up the stairs. When she got the podium, she hugged the woman and stared back at the audience.
"I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say. It's like I always new that his day would come, but I actually never thought that I would be standing here holding this award. Um…First I would like to thank God for giving me this gift, and if it wasn't for him then I don't know where I would be right now. Second I would like to thank my father, Viktor Gilbert for believing in me and helping me get my novel out there for the world to see. Third, my best friends in the entire universe for being my inspiration. And last but not least, my gorgeous husband, Taylor. From the moment we met he knew that I had what it took to be an amazing writer, and since we've been together he not once doubted the fact that I would one day win an award. Baby, this one's for you. I love and I always will. Thank you."
An emotional Felicia walked backstage and headed back to her seat, but before she could make it back to her seat, she felt someone grab her arm. And when she turned around, her eyes widened and a stray tear fell down her cheek.
"Randy?" She said not believing that he was actually there.
"Congratulations Felicia. I knew you could it." He said with a small smile
Felicia gave him a small smile and headed back to her seat. And after the ceremony was over, she walked outside where she was met by a bunch of fans. As she signed autographs, she noticed all her friends walk out of the building.
"Guys what are you all doing here? You all look amazing." Felicia said in disbelief
"Yea well some of us still look the same, but some things do change over time." Sadie said as she pointed to Ashley's baby belly.
"Ashley! Oh. My. God, congratulations! I knew this fool would end up knocking you up." Felicia joked
"Hey! I can't help it if I have super sperm." John smirked
"Shut up, cause your super sperm is the reason why I'm giving birth to twins next month, jackass." Ashley said as she smacked him on his arm.
"Ouch! Would you stop hitting me, damn." John said rubbing his arm
"John's still a big bitch." Felicia laughed
"Yeah, but he's my big bitch." Ashley smiled
"Well enough about them, look who's getting married." Tiffany said as she held out her hand showing off her Platinum 1-ct TW 3-Stone Princess Engagement Ring.
"It's about damn time. Geez, Jeff it took you long enough." Felicia joked
"Look, this girl is unbelievably picky, and sometimes I think she's a gold digger." She whispered into Felicia's ear.
"Hey, I heard that dumbass." Tiffany said as she smacked Jeff upside his head
"I was telling the truth." Jeff said as she rubbed the back of his head.
"Don't start with me." Tiffany said starting to get an attitude.
"I see you haven't lost that attitude, Tiff." Felicia said as she raised an eyebrow.
Just then someone cleared their throat, "Did you forget someone?"
Felicia turned around in amazement to see David Batista standing in front of her.
"David!" She screamed as she ran into his arms
They hugged for a good fifteen minutes before Ashley's pregnant belly broke them apart.
"Okay, enough of this mushy shit. Can we go out to eat please. I have craving for raw stake and sushi." Ashley said as she headed to the car.
John turned to face Felicia, "This chick has the weirdest cravings in the world. I swear, yesterday she asked me to bring her a whole chocolate cake and twelve packs of ketchup. Sometimes I think she's the devil." John joked
"Stop it, cravings are normal. Besides, after she has the babies there will be no more weird cravings." Felicia assured John
"I hope you're right." He said as he got into the car.
"Okay guys, I'll see you tomorrow. We're all going to hang out and catch up on stuff." Felicia said
"That's going to be fun." Randy said as he walked up behind her.
"Hey Randy, how have you been?" Felicia asked in a professional tone
"I'm good, John, Dave, and I are all pro-wrestlers for World Wrestling Entertainment." He smiled
"You've got to be shittin' me." Felicia said in disbelief
"I'm afraid not. He's currently the Intercontinental Champion. John's the WWE Champion, and I, David Batista am the World Heavyweight Champion." Dave said as he walked on the other side of Felicia.
"Well, it looks like all of our lives came out as planned. Just then she saw Taylor standing by the car, "Honey come here, I want to introduce you to some friends."
Taylor smiled a bit before heading towards them. She walked into his arms and gave him a small peck on the lips.
"Taylor this is my best friend David Batista and this is my ex-boyfriend Randy Orton. Guys, this is my husband, Taylor Kitsch." She smiled as they shook hands
"You have a great woman for a wife." Randy said with a small smile
"I know, she's amazing isn't she." Taylor said smiling
"But be careful not to piss her off. She might go ape shit and key your car like she did Randy's back in college." Dave laughed
Felicia gave Dave a look that could kill
He didn't know that you dick! I swear I'm going wring your neck like a fucking towel.
Randy's face turned to pure confusion as he looked at Dave, "I thought you said Rachel did it as a prank?"
"Actually no, Felicia keyed your car when she found out that you had slept with Rachel." Dave explained
Felicia smirked as Taylor wrapped his arms around her waist, "Well gentlemen, it was nice talking to you, but I better get going. The girls and I are going out tomorrow. Feel free to join us if you like. I'll see you two later." She said as she walked away with Taylor.
"Why in the hell didn't you tell me she keyed my car?" Randy asked as they headed back to the car.
"Because I promised her that I wouldn't tell you. So, I lied. Plus, Rachel hated you anyway. Besides, all that is in the past. Your car is long gone, and now you have several. A little advice, quit worrying about the past and focus on the present, the now. Felicia doesn't want you back, and even if she did, she wouldn't make it easy for you to get her back. But she's married, and by the way Taylor was looking at you, I'm guessing he was laughing his ass off in his head." Dave joked
"Shut up, you're acting like I'm some pathetic loser." Randy said as he unlocked the car.
"I hate to ruin you're little "Everything revolves around Randy Orton," but you are a loser. Dave said with a smile
Randy just rolled his eyes and bolted out of the parking lot.
Dave is such a smart ass, but I'll show him that Felicia still wants to be with me…
