Chapter 3: Dwayne and Felicia's Night Out

Dwayne walked in a gave his sister a hug. After, they walked into the living room where their parents were. Upon seeing her son, Diana walked up and hugged her son. She wrapped her arms around both her children's waists. Fletcher walked up and wrapped his arms around his family. They sat back down and talked together. It seemed like old times when Felicia and Dwayne were little kids. Whenever the family had a disagreement, they would go into the family room and discuss the problem. And always, things would be fine and cooler heads would prevail.

They were to have dinner together. Instead of going out to eat, Diana decided to cook dinner. She went into the kitchen and whipped up a dinner that could be a candidate for Sunday dinner. She cooked everything that both Dwayne and Felicia liked to eat. Macaroni & cheese, fried chicken, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and homemade rolls were on the menu, along with chocolate pie for dessert.

After dining with his family, Dwayne excused himself from the table and his parents. He went into the living room and made a phone call. After returning to the dining room, he grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair. Diana looked up at Dwayne and shot him a look. "Where are you off to?"

Dwayne answered his mother. "There is a show at the American Airlines Arena."

"Really." Diana said.

"Yeah, some of my old friends will be there, and I'd like to see them. But I will be back sometime in the morning." Dwayne paused and looked at Felicia. "Why don't you come with me, Lisha?"

Felicia looked at Dwayne. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, why not?"

Felicia thought about it for a second and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, Dwayne."

"Come on, what's it gonna hurt? Nothing, you need to go out for awhile. I know you don't get time to go anywhere. Besides, you know some of the guys there."

Felicia rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Alright, I'll go."

At the arena...

Dwayne and Felicia walked through the backstage entrance area where some of the guys were standing around. Some were stretching and some were drinking coffee or whatever else. A few of the guys greeted Dwayne and Felicia with handshakes and hugs. After talking for a while to them, Vince McMahon outstretched his hand as he approached them.

"Hello, Dwayne."

"Hey Vince."

"How are you?"

"I'm good. Things couldn't be better."

"Good, glad to hear it. And who is this?" Vince looked over at Felicia.

"Vince, you know who I am." Felicia smiled.

"Is this little Felicia?"

"Yep, it's me."

"My God, it's been such a long time since I last saw you." As Vince reached out to embrace her.

"Yeah it has been a long time."

They talked for a few minutes before Dwayne stated that they only came to see a few of the people there. But Vince insisted that they stay around for the show. He gave them tickets to watch the show front row. Dwayne and Felicia went out to sit in the arena with security surrounding them. Male fans whistled for Felicia while the female swarm screamed for Dwayne.

Later in the night...

Dwayne and Felicia watched all the matches and cheered some and booed the others. Felicia was like the little girl who used to watch her brother when he wrestled as "The Rock." As Dwayne watched the matches, it reminded him of when he was the WWE champion. Felicia looked over at her brother and saw the look on his face. "You miss it, don't you?"

Dwayne smiled at her and shrugged his shoulders. "Not the business. I just miss my boys."

The ring attendants changed the ring aprons from RAW to Smackdown. As they sat there and watched the show from Smackdown, Felicia decided that she would go and get something to drink. So she went to the concession stand and bought her and Dwayne a drink. She sat down and heard ring music that she had never heard. The crowd erupted and was up on their feet. She looked around her and elbowed Dwayne and asked him who it was. Dwayne, knowing who it was, winked at his little sister. She shot him a look.

She looked up at the entrance way to see who it was as she listened to Tony Chimel announce him. "And from Washington, D.C., weighing 290 lbs, he is the World Heavyweight Champion...Batista!!!"

Felicia could not believe her eyes. There he was. Her former boyfriend, the man she was supposed to spend the rest of her life with. Right before her very eyes. She was totally hypnotized by him. She could not take her eyes off him. He looked the very same he did when they were together - there was nothing about him that changed - except that somehow he had gotten even more sexier than ever before. From the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, was no doubt sexy. Time had definitely had been good to him.

Dwayne and Felicia watched his match attentively. From the beginning to the end, Felicia kept her eyes on him. Everybody else could have walked out of the arena for all she cared. All that mattered to her was who was in that ring. After the match was over, Dave did his round around the ring. When he came to Dwayne and Felicia, he stopped and placed the belt on his shoulder. He reached out and shook Dwayne's hand and pulled him to him in an embrace. As they said their hellos to each other, he looked over at Felicia. She was still as beautiful as she was the day she walked out of his life. He never thought in a million years that he would ever lay eyes on her again. Although he was happy for her, he still longed for and missed her, as she did for him. Understandingly, both of them had dreams to persue and both came true. Felicia was in the music business and Dave was in the business of sports-entertainment. But there was still something missing. Each other.
