I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Matt's Point of View-
I stood in the back with Beth and John watching the last few minutes of Jeff trying to open the envelope to find out who won the Diva search.
"The winner is….Carol Kent." Jeff announced, Lindsey's mouth dropped in shock, Beth and John squealed in excitement. I was happy on the inside that she won but upset at the same time that my girlfriend didn't win, but I'm happy that Carol won. Lindsey climbed out of the ring to allow Carol to celebrate with Jeff, she stormed backstage to her locker room and she stormed out towards my car, I was her ride so I had to go.
"Honey, you okay?" I asked as we reached the car and I unlocked the car doors with my key ring button.
"No, I'm angry and frustrated that a cow like her could win." Lindsey said opening the back seat door flinging her bag into the backseat and shutting the door.
"I understand, you still want to go to City Limits?" I asked as I climbed into the front seat putting the keys in the ignition as we buckled up.
"No, I don't want to go to City Limits, I want to go to my hotel, get my things and try to get the next flight home." Lindsey said.
"Why do you want to leave tonight?"
"I just want to go." She said as I started the car and pulled out, "I'm sorry, I'm just tired, upset and frustrated." She said a little more calm now.
"Okay, let me just get you to your hotel so you could get some sleep." I said as it was quiet for most of the ride to her hotel.
"Thanks for the ride, are you upset I didn't win?" She asked as we sat in the car a little while before I pulled the keys out and we climbed out, she grabbed her bag from the backseat.
"No, I'm proud of you, very much so." I said as I leant against my trunk with her standing in front of me.
"You want to come up to my room for a little while?"
"Nah, I'm going to head over to City Limits and hang out for a little while."
"Why are you going to City Limits?"
"Because I love going there and hanging out with my friends."
"You would rather hang out with your friends and that cow than with me?" She said angrily and upset.
"You can't tell me who I can or cannot hang out with or when I can or cannot." I said.
"I'm your girlfriend, I should have a say."
"Just because you're my girlfriend doesn't mean anything, I'm going to go hang with my brother, and my sister in law." I said walking back to the driver's seat.
"That's it, your going to go party rather than hanging out with your girlfriend?" She yelled as I slammed the door, I started the car starting to pull out rolling down the window. "Fine, just go to City Limits and forget about your girlfriend." She yelled louder than earlier.
"Will do." I said waving my hand out the window a little, she can't tell me what to do or who to hang out with, ugh women! I drove over to City Limits trying not to let her ruin my night. I climbed out of my car locking it with my key chain; I walked right into City Limits without having to wait in line. As I looked about for my friends, I noticed Carol sitting at the bar by herself sipping at her drink, I followed her eye line to Jeff and Beth dancing next to John who was dancing with Mickie at that time, how rude is that of John to dance with Mickie rather than his own girlfriend? I walked up to Carol unnoticed, I sat in the seat next to her; she started choking on her drink when she saw me.
"Hey, missed you after the show." Carol said trying to hug me sideways.
"Yeah, Lindsey just wanted to leave and I'm her ride."
"Oh, where is Lindsey anyway?"
"At her hotel, she didn't feel up to coming out to party."
"Aw." She said nodding and sipped at her drink.
"Bartender, may I get a bud?" I asked, the bartender nodded, "So, Ms. New WWE Diva, why aren't you on the dance floor with your boyfriend?"
"I don't know how to dance." Carol said as the bartender handed me my drink.
"Thanks, what do you mean you don't know how to dance?"
"I know how to dance, but not well, and I don't dance in public."
"That's going to change, come on." I said taking a drink of my bud before I set it down; I grabbed her drink from her grip setting it on the bar next to mine and tried to pull her off her seat.
"No Matt, I'm not going on the dance floor." Carol fought back.
"Please, for me."
"No, they'll laugh at me, I don't dance." She said re-grabbing her drink and taking another sip out of it.
"Either you get out on the dance floor now or I will get you drunk enough where you won't care anymore and drag you out there, personally I would go with option number one." I threatened her.
"You won't get me drunk." She said, I gave her a serious look crossing my arms over my chest, "Would you?"
"I would SO get you drunk to get you on that dance floor."
"Okay, fine, if anyone laughs I'm leaving." Carol said setting her drink back down getting to her feet.
"Thanks, it's your celebration; you should be doing the dancing as well." I said grabbing onto her hand to make sure she wouldn't run, I dragged her onto the dance floor a few people away from Jeff, Beth, and John. I started dancing, I let her hand go, she went to leave and I caught her and pulled her back. "Just dance like no one is looking, just look at me, it's just me and you." I said as I positioned her in front of me making her look into my eyes with her baby blues.
"Okay, just me and you." She said, I could tell she was nervous dancing around other people, she took a few deep breathes, I started dancing again without letting go of my grip on her, a few moments later she started dancing as well.
"See, no one is laughing and there is nothing to it." I said as I spun her around and she smiled at me.
"Out loud they aren't, but they might be on the inside."
"If they are laughing at anyone, it'll be at Jeff, look at that." I joked nodding to my brother, who at that time was doing the shovel, she shook her head giggling, "I like your laugh."
"Thanks." Carol said as we danced about, we had our fingers intervened together and doing that one dance that Zack and Jesse did on Saved by the Bell I think it was where you put the other person's hand on your shoulder and slide, we were having a good time when John walked up to us.
"May I cut in?" John asked.
"Yeah, go ahead." I said letting go of Carol's hand and stepped back.
"You sure?" Carol asked, I nodded and headed back to the bar area, I watched her dance with John, it was just getting me angry and frustrated again, weird enough being with Carol and out there dancing with her calmed me and kept me sane, I walked out and decided to head home.
John's Point of View-
I was dancing with Mickie next to Jeff and Beth in hopes that Carol would change her mind on wanting to dance, I hoped seeing us have fun and dancing that it would make her want to dance as well. I would look back at her just to make sure she was still there and no other guy was harassing her. I turned my attention back to the conversation at hand until I heard this:
"It looks as if Matt's here." Beth said, I snapped my head back to see Matt sitting next to Carol chatting.
"Finally." Jeff said, a new song started playing and hoped that if anything now Carol would want to join us, I turned back to Mickie when she said something and I couldn't make out what she said over the music, she pointed and I looked towards the direction she was pointing at, there was Matt and Carol dancing. It hurt a little that he could get her on the dance floor and I couldn't, but the look in her eyes, the way she smiled, something was different, along with him, the way they acted around each other just seemed not necessarily odd, but different.
"It looks as if someone finally got her on the dance floor." Mickie said leaning in to my ear.
"Would you mind if I go dance with her?" I asked.
"Go ahead doctor of thuganomics." Mickie said, I lightly hugged her before I walked up to Carol and Matt.
"May I cut in?" I asked.
"Yeah, go ahead." Matt said letting go of Carol's hands stepping back, I could tell he had a little hurt in his voice and this sadden expression in his eyes.
"You sure?" Carol asked, he nodded yes but I could tell he was upset. "What's up with him?"
"I don't know, how'd he get you on the dance floor?" I asked curiously.
"He threatened to get me drunk." Carol answered.
"Aw, smart move on his part." I said nodding and smiling.
