Chapter 11
Hunter was still in the bar, double shot in front of him. He was staring at the mirror behind the bar when Dave Batista strolled up and smiled at him.
"Drinking alone again, huh? Not a good sign, my man", said Dave as he sat down next to him. "Where's Steph?"
"With Randy Orton", Hunter replied. "Oops, nobody's supposed to know about that yet. Oh well". Hunter took a healthy swig of his drink as the bartender came over to take Batista's order.
"I'll have a beer and I guess get my friend another shot", he said.
"Thanks", said Hunter as the bartender walked away. "She's been cheating on me, Dave".
"What?" the bartender came back with his beer and Hunter's shot. Dave picked up his beer.
"Stephanie has been cheating on me with Randy Orton", Hunter said matter of factly as Dave took a sip of his beer and choked on it. "Damn, is it that hard to swallow?"
Dave coughed and cleared his throat. "I forgot what Canadian beer tasted like". He took another sip. "I guess I should've come to you months ago about this…"
Hunter cut him off, "you knew?" He glared at The Animal.
"Wait a minute, hold up. I didn't know anything. But I saw something that was weird. About a month ago, I think we were in Phoenix, I saw those two together and something didn't look right. I came across them in the parking lot and it felt like I interrupted something. They were standing real close together".
"That's enough, I don't need to hear anymore".
"How'd you find out?" asked Dave.
"Ivy and John Cena told me. They were down at the Falls sightseeing with a video camera and caught Steph and Randy on tape".
"Wow, it's Cheaters: WWE edition", Dave chuckled. Hunter shot him a look. "Sorry, man. So what are you going to do?"
"Get divorced. I'm done with her. She's obviously done with me".
"Think this is going to affect your match any tomorrow night?"
"Are you kidding me?" Hunter finished his drink and started working on the one Dave ordered him. "Unfortunately, I promised Stephanie I wouldn't send him to the hospital".
"You're a better man than I am, Charlie Brown". Batista finished his beer and motioned to the bartender to bring him another. "I would've put him in the hospital right after I found out".
"And what good would that do me? None at all. He can have her. She's his problem now, not mine anymore". He finished his shot.
"Geez, you want another one?"
"Absolutely".
Dave called to the bartender, "get him another double too". The bartender nodded. "It's gonna be along night".
