Chapter 2: Two Flights, One Batista
Amanda's POV
"Amanda, are you done in there?" asks Randy as he continuously knocks on the bathroom door.
"Almost!" I yell back as I continue to blow dry my long hair. "I just need to dry my hair and I'm done!"
"Good! Cause we need to check out and get to LAX before rush hour starts! If we get stuck in traffic and we miss our flights, I'm blaming you!" Randy yells to me as I hear his footsteps walk away from the door. I quickly finish up blow drying my hair and check my makeup to make sure that nothing was out of place. Putting my blow dryer away in its case, I walk out the bathroom to find Randy waiting by the door, our suitcases right next to him as he leans against the wall with an impatient look on his face.
"Took you long enough." he mumbles to me as he opens the door.
"Hey, a girl needs her time to get ready and I'm sorry for making you wait so long. Can you forgive me?" I ask in my most innocent voice as I look at the Viper, who returns it with a cold stare. We continue our stare off until I see his left eye twitch. He finally buckles under the pressure after a few minutes pass us by.
"Yes . . . I forgive you. It's hard to be mad at you for so long when you look all innocent." he tells me with a small smirk as we walk into the hallway with our suitcases in hand.
"Ahh, the Viper does have a heart." I say with a small smile as I close the suite door and follow him down the hall to the elevators.
"You really have a dark sense of humor." he mumbles to me sarcastically as he takes my hand in his and presses the button for the elevator with his other hand.
"I know I do." I say with a smile as the elevator door opens up. We walk into the cart and make our way down to the lobby. We quickly check out and walk outside to the Hummer, where we see a couple of familiar faces waiting outside the large vehicle.
"Mind giving us a lift to the airport?" asks Monica as she and Wade patiently wait by the Hummer's trunk door with their suitcases at their sides.
"Sure thing. Did everyone else leave out already?" asks Randy as he unlocks the trunk door.
"Nope; Ted, Barbie, Alicia, and Kofi are the only ones that already left for the airport. Everyone else is still inside getting ready." says Wade as he helped Randy load up our suitcases into the trunk.
"Good, now let's go before anyone else comes out. Remember, this is a Hummer, not a bus." says Randy as he closes the trunk and walks over to the driver side door. I walk over to the front passenger side door while Monica and Wade get into the back seat. Randy quickly starts up the vehicle and pulls out of the parking lot; Los Angeles International Airport our intended destination.
"So, you actually have relatives that live in Jamaica?" asks Wade in his attempt to make conversation.
"Just a few uncles and aunts and our maternal grandparents." answers Monica as she looks out the window to see the buildings pass by.
"What are your grandparents like?" Randy suddenly asks us as he turns onto a ramp onto a smaller freeway.
"Our grandmother can be very serious at times, but she's very nice once you get to know her. Plus, at times, she'll start speaking in her native language for no apparent reason. We don't know why she does it though." I tell him as I look into my purse to make sure everything was there.
"What is her native language?" asks Wade as he shoots me a curious look.
"Chinese!" says Monica and I as we look at the British superstar.
"You can't be bloody serious!" says Wade in disbelief.
"Believe it!" replies Monica. She then starts to speak to him in fluent Mandarin. Randy and I try to stifle our laughter as Wade listens in complete disbelief. Wade's face is absolutely hysterical.
"I never would have thought you two knew Chinese." he tells us as he gets over his initial shock.
"Believe it." I say as I start to speak in Mandarin myself for a few seconds.
"I don't think I'll ever get used to it. All I know besides English is French." says Randy as he turns onto the exit ramp that leads to the airport.
"You serious Orton?" asks Wade as he scratches his hair.
"En effet, je fais (Indeed I do)." says Randy in French as he continues to stare ahead at the road.
"Impressionnant (Impressive)." I say, also speaking in French. (Thank you grandpa!)
"Pourquoi vous remercier. (Why thank you)" he says to me with a small smirk as he drives into the airport parking lot.
"Can you speak French too?" Wade asks Monica as Randy finds a parking space close to the lot entrance.
"Yeah, but I prefer to speak Arabic and Portuguese than French." she tells him as Randy parks the Hummer and cuts the engine.
"How many languages do you two know?" asks Wade as we exit the vehicle.
"Besides the ones we just said, a little bit of Gaelic and that's about it." I say as the boys take out our suitcases.
"Why do I feel so uneducated around you two all of a sudden?" asks Wade as we walk over to the airport van across the row.
"It can't be helped. When you are a part of a multi-ethnic family, you need to become multilingual in order to understand your family members." says Monica with a smile as we pack our suitcases into the back of the van.
"Which terminal?" asks the driver in a thick Russian accent as we all enter the van.
"Terminal 3." I say as Wade closes the door. The driver nods his head to us and drives us out of the parking lot and onto the road. It takes us a good five minutes to reach the terminal. We quickly get off, unload our bags, and walk into the terminal to see that a few other passengers instantly recognize us. It doesn't take them long to take their cameras and cell phones out for photos.
"Should have known we would get this much attention in the airport." I say as we make our way to the check in desks.
"That's what you get when you're a famous wrestler." says Randy with a small smirk. "We'll see you a little later. We need to check in for our flight at a different desk down at the end of the terminal."
"See ya guys later." I say as we split up. When Monica and I join our designated line, I watch Randy and Wade walk all the way down the terminal to the line of JetBlue counters.
"So that's the airline they booked their flight on." says Monica as we walk up to the check in counter.
"Yep; I think their flight leaves out at least an hour after ours." I say as we hand our passports and our reservations to the lady at the desk. The lady checks us in in a matter of minutes with no problem. With our suitcases on their way to the plane, Monica and I walk over to the escalator leading to the waiting lounge. We manage to find Barbie and Alicia sitting near the windows near our gate, Gate 7.
"Hey guys! Where are your boys?" asks Monica as she sits across from them.
"They're getting us breakfast for us at the McDonalds down the hallway. Where are your boys?" asks Alicia as she points down the hall.
"Probably still checking in for their flight. The line they joined was pretty long." I say as I look out the window to see the sun barely appearing through the clouds.
"Do you two know what time the guys' flight is?" asked Monica as she looked around the area.
"Their JetBlue flight leaves out at 10:00 A.M. It connects through Orlando." answered Kelly Kelly as she kept her eyes on her book.
"I see. Well, if you guys excuse me, I'm going to go check out that bookstore over there to see if they have anything good to read." I say as I quickly drop my carry-on bag onto a seat. I walk over to the bookstore to see that it's actually well stocked for a store so small.
"May I help you ma'am?" asks a stock boy as I look through a row of fiction books, his eyes wide eyed in realization when he looks at my face.
"I'm just looking through. Thanks anyway." I say as I continue to look through the row. I soon move on to a group of travel books, picking one up that had the cover "A Complete Guide to Jamaica."
"Jamaica? Very nice choice Amanda, though I prefer the Bahamas myself."
I freeze, instantly recognizing the voice as I hold the book tightly in my grip.
"What? Aren't you going to say hello to an old friend Ms. K.O?" asks the voice. I can easily hear the smirk in his voice as I slowly turn around, coming face to face with the Animal, Dave Batista.
Randy's POV
"Can you believe those women back there?" asks Wade as we make our way to the lounge area.
"When you're a famous WWE wrestler, being asked for autographs by fans is something you have to live with on a daily basis." I say as I hike my backpack over my shoulder as we walk through the rows of shops and food joints.
"But seriously man. They asked us to autograph their panties! While they were still wearing them!" says Wade as he brushes his hand through his hair.
"And what's wrong with that?" I ask as I spot Kofi, Ted, Barbie, and Alicia eating breakfast near Gate 7.
"Nothing, if you're single. But when you're dating someone, it's a bit of a different story." says Wade as we walk over to the four "Especially when the person you're dating can grow claws and can fry your brain."
"Don't worry Wade. Monica isn't the jealous type." I say as I sit down next to Ted.
"And what about Amanda?" Wade asks me with a smirk as he sits next to Kofi.
"That I don't want to get into. . . . At least we didn't do it anyway, so we're safe from any backlash." I say as I drop my backpack at my feet.
"Didn't do what?" asks Kofi as he takes a bite out of his sandwich.
"Sign our names on a group of women's underwear back in the check in area." I say as I cross my arms.
"Desperate!" calls Alicia and Kelly Kelly as they shot each other a look over their drinks.
"One time I was asked to sign a guy's dentures." adds Ted as a thoughtful look spreads across his face.
"Eww Ted, not while we're eating!" cries Barbie as she scrunches up her face in disgust.
"Sorry, for some reason I just wanted to say that." says Ted as he takes a bite of his pancake. "I'm just that random okay?"
"That's a bit weird. Where are the twins?" asks Wade as he looks around the area.
"Monica went over to McDonalds and Amanda went over to the bookstore across the hall." answers Alicia as she points over to the store.
"Oh good because I'm bloody starving. I didn't eat anything at all today!" says Wade as he quickly gets out of his seat, his eyes set on the McDonalds.
"Have they been gone long?" I ask as I look out the window just as a plane takes off.
"Not really; they've only been gone for a short while. Here comes Amanda right now." says Kofi as he turns left. I turn to see Amanda walk over to us, but I can tell by the look on her face that something is definitely bothering her.
"Amanda, what's wrong?" asks Alicia as Amanda takes the seat next to me.
"Nothing, except for the fact Dave Batista walked into me in the book store just now." she tells us as she rests her head on my shoulder.
"Wait . . . are you serious?" asks Kelly as she looks up from her book, the frantic look evident in her eyes. Who could blame her? She used to date Batista.
"Yep, I was looking through a few of the shelves when Dave bumped into me. Turns out he's flying back home after competing in a mixed martial art event here in LA." Amanda further explains as she shoots a look over to the bookstore. We all turn to the bookstore just in time to see Dave walk out with a bag in hand. He turns to us and winks at the girls and then sends a scowl my way.
"You guys really don't like each other do you?" asks Kofi as he looks at me.
"Not since Evolution." I say as I narrow my eyes at Batista. He sends a smirk my way before walking down the hallway, narrowly bumping into Edge and Lita.
"Oh yeah; Adam doesn't like Dave as much as you do." says Ted as he smacks his forehead in realization.
"You got that right." I say as Adam and Dave start an intense stare down in the middle of the hallway, gaining some curious stares from some of the other passengers.
"You think they're going to actually fight?" asks Alicia as she wipes her mouth away of crumbs.
"Probably not; Lita is practically dragging Adam away from the scene." says Amanda as we watch as Lita tugs at Adam's sleeve to drag him away from the tense situation, but Adam barely moves an inch. After a few seconds pass by, the stare down is over and Adam and Amy quickly walk over to us.
"Well . . . that was a close one." says Kofi as he throws away his food wrapper.
"You're telling me." says Adam as he sits down in a chair; Lita sitting down on his lap. "Do you know how much I so wanted to deck him where he stood? I was this close to doing it if it weren't for Amy here." says Adam as he gestures to his girlfriend.
"I didn't want you to go to jail just as we were heading out to Jamaica. That would so put a damper on the vacation." said Lita as she kissed Adam on the cheek.
"Well, at least we won't have to see him after we get on the plane." Ted says as he finishes the last of his coffee.
"I wouldn't say that just yet Tedman." says Amanda as she scratched her scalp.
"Please tell me you're not going to say what I think you're going to say?" asks Edge as he raises an eyebrow, the disgust evident in his eyes.
"Sorry Adam, but one of the things Dave told me while I was in the bookstore with him was that his flight was a JetBlue flight that was flying into Orlando and then he was taking a private flight to Tampa after that."
"I'm afraid to ask, but I'll ask it. What time is his flight?" I ask bluntly as I rub my chin, which I neglected to shave this morning.
"10:00; he's riding on the same flight you guys are on." she tells me with an apologetic look on her face.
"That's it! If he ends up sitting in the same row I'm in, I'm going to claw his face off!" says Edge as his left hand starts to transform into claws.
"Adam, calm down and quit it with the claws!" says Lita as she slaps him in the chest. Adam scowls at her before doing what he's told, the claws disappearing as fast as it appeared.
"This is weird. I thought it would be Randy who would be more pissed at seeing Batista, not Adam." says Kofi as he looks around the group.
"Oh trust me. I'm pissed. I'm just better at hiding it than Adam." I say as I look to see Sheamus, Layla, Cody, and Kaitlyn walk up to us.
"Fuck you man! You may look calm, but once you are alone with Dave, even for a second, all hell will break loose between you two." says Adam as he points at me.
"If all hell breaks loose between you two, can I be referee?" asks Sheamus as he takes a sip of his coffee.
"It's not going to be a regular match." says Amanda as she looks at the Irishman. "They're just pissed because they found out Batista was going to be riding on the same flight as you guys."
"Oh hell no!" says Cody bluntly as he slumps into his seat.
"Don't worry! We feel the same way!" says Adam as he gestures to himself and me.
"This is going to be an interesting flight." says Ted as he looks around the group.
"Passengers on Delta flight 316, flying to Kingston, Jamaica and connecting through Miami, Florida, may board at this time at Gate 7."
"That's for us!" chimed Layla as she looked over at the gate to see a small line already forming.
"Where's your sister Amanda?" asks Kaitlyn as she looked at the tall Diva.
"Right here!" We turn our heads to see Monica and Wade quickly walking up to us with McDonalds bags in hand.
"It's time for us to get moving. I seriously hate long lines." says Alicia as she kisses Kofi on the cheek before walking over to the line.
"Good luck on your flight!" says Barbie as she quickly pecks Ted on the lips and runs after Alicia.
"Why did she wish us luck?" asks Wade as he takes a sip of his drink.
"Batista's going to be on the same flight as us." I tell him bluntly as Amanda gets up from her chair. Wade goes wide eyed and almost chokes on his drink before answering.
"You can't be serious?" he says to us in a dumbfounded tone as he wipes his mouth. "No wonder she wished us luck. You, Adam, Ted, Cody, and Batista all on the same flight is basically a ticking time bomb waiting to happen!"
"Wow, what gave you that idea?" asks Adam as Lita gets off his lap.
"Just ignore him as best you can okay. Don't let him get you in a foul mood. You're such a sourpuss when you're in a bad mood." says Lita.
"I may be a sourpuss, but I'm your sourpuss." says Adam for a comeback as he slapped Lita's ass as she and Layla walked over to join their line.
"Real smooth Adam, real smooth." says Cody as he hugs Kaitlyn good bye.
"Why thank you." says Adam with a smile as he looks at the mustachioed superstar.
"That was me being sarcastic." says Cody as he crossed his arms.
"That was you being a dick." counters Adam with a smirk, making Cody scowl.
"Just don't kill each other on the flight. And don't let Batista get to you. After you guys leave Orlando, Batista will officially be out of your hair, or lack thereof for some of you." says Amanda as she smirks my way.
"Ha ha, very funny." I say as I get up from my seat.
"Hey, you were the one who decided to cut your hair last night, not me." she tells me as she pecks my cheek. "We'll see you in Kingston!" she says with a wave as she follows her sister to the gate.
"SEE YA!" we all exclaim in unison, getting a few glares from the other passengers. We watch the line till it disappeared into the corridor leading to the airplane. About five minutes pass before the plane leaves the gate for the runway.
"I see you and your girlfriends are flying on different planes."
Our heads whip around to come face to face with Dave, who smirks as he continues to watch the plane going to the runway.
"What do you want now Batista?" I ask as I try to keep my anger I check.
"Oh nothing. I'm just here to give you all a warning." says Dave as he locks eyes with all of us, me being the last to receive his cold stare.
"A warning? What's the warning?" asks Ted as he gets up from his seat.
"Simple; if you don't disturb me on the plane, I won't disturb you on the plane. If you do disturb me, I promise I'll make the plane ride a living hell all the way to Orlando." he tells us as I start to see his eyes blaze red behind his sunglasses.
"A typical Batista threat." mutters Adam as he looks away from the Animal.
"Only from the best Adam. By the way, I never realized Lita got back together with you. Congratulation, you and that slut are perfect for each other." says Batista with a grin.
"What the hell did you say about my girlfriend?" asked Adam as his eyes started to shift to a gold color, his fingernails starting to change into claws. He started to take a step forward, but Wade blocked his path.
"Calm down Adam. He's just trying to mess with you." whispered a calm Wade as he crossed his arms. It took a few minutes, but Adam managed to calm down and hold back his transformation.
"Why don't you just leave us alone Dave?" I ask as I continued to stare down the Animal. "You said your warning and trust me when I say this. We don't want anything to do with you and you don't want anything to do with us. So why don't you just hightail it out of here."
"I would, but I just want to ask you something before I go. Are you and Amanda dating now?" he asks me as he cracks his knuckles.
"Why do you want to know?" I ask as I narrow my eyes at him.
"Cause when I saw her kiss you on your cheek, the first thought that came to my mind was that she could do so much better than the likes of you." he tells me as he walks away. He turns back around, but instead of facing me, he turns to Ted. "By the way, have fun with Barbie Ted!" he says with a smile and a wave as he walks down the hall.
"I would so punch him in the face, but he's so not worth it." says Ted with a scowl as he sits back down in his seat.
"I agree with you one hundred percent." added Cody as he looked at his buddy.
"We're expected to ride on a four hour flight to Orlando with him?" asks Adam as he points to Dave's retreating back as he turns into a Hudson News store.
"Sadly yes. I guess we just have to deal with it." I say in defeat as I sit back down in my chair.
"Fine, but like I said before. If he ends up being in the same row as me, I will claw his face off." says Adam in a threatening tone as he sits back in his chair, crossing his arms as he looks out the window.
"This definitely won't be a relaxing flight to Jamaica." says Sheamus as he throws his coffee cup into a nearby trash can.
"You have no idea." I mutter to myself as I look out the window, just in time to see the girls' flight take off into the sky.
A/N: Didn't think I would involve Batista huh? Well, I thought involving the Animal would be a nice surprise for you readers. By the way, I got the French phrases from Google translate. I really have no idea how to speak French! Please review! ;)
