Dave's POV
I am really starting to like Barbi quite a bit. We have been hanging out a lot and I really enjoy her company. She may be a bit younger than I am, but she is definitely a sweet girl. And of course, she is absolutely beautiful.
"So Barbi. How about we go out to dinner tonight?"
"I'd love to Dave" she smiled. "Pick me up at 7?"
Just then my phone vibrated in my pocket. I smiled when I saw who it was from:
Bestie,
Sorry to interrupt your pimping, but when you get a chance I need to talk to you. I think I've made up my mind and I want to know what you think.
Tell Barbi I said hi *wink wink nudge nudge*
Love you.
Love,
Bestie
"Sorry" I smiled. "I've gotta go talk to bestie for a while. Seven should be fine, though. Oh and she said to tell you hi."
"She is just so sweet" she grinned. "I really like her. It's easy to see why you two are best friends. I have to admit…when she first came here and I saw her I was terrified of her. But now that I've gotten to know her, I just LOVE her."
"Do you think it's weird that we tell each other we love one another constantly?"
"Oh not at all" she told me. "I think it's really sweet, actually."
Nothing makes me happier than to hear what Barbi just said. I'm glad she said it too because tonight, I think I just may ask her to be my girlfriend.
"Ok Barbi. I gotta go talk to bestie, so I'll see you later tonight."
"I can't wait Dave" she smiled. "See you then!"
I walked away grinning like an idiot. I really like that girl I thought to myself. Reaching my hands in my pockets, I dug out my cell phone and sent a text to my best friend:
Meet you in catering whenever you're ready to talk, oh immature one.
I want to talk to you about something important. Need your advice as well.
Love you too. I have no idea how I went thru life so long without knowing your crazy, pierced, tattooed, obnoxious ass!
Love,
Bestie
I got a reply from my best friend very fast:
Awww you're so sweet but….
I am not obnoxious…you're just old and grumpy. What's up GRANDPA? Need a NAP? Hahahaha please don't Batista Bomb me! You wouldn't hurt your best friend would you?
Love
Bestie
All I could do was chuckle as I walked into catering to grab a seat and wait for my best friend. I knew it wouldn't take her long to get changed and, as she says, 'make herself so very ravishing!' She is such a dork, but I love the hell out of her.
I made my way into catering and sat down. As I was sitting there checking my e-mail, I heard the chair next to me move. I looked up and saw one of my closest friends in the world, Paul.
"Hey big guy" he smiled. "What's up?"
"Just checkin my e-mail and waiting for bestie."
"Ah" he said. "So what do you think of her joining Legacy?"
"Well" I sighed. "I don't really like the idea. She's torn between Ted and Randy and being in a stable with them might make things worse."
"Yeah I know" he grunted. "But me and Steph couldn't tell Vince about what's going on. I still don't get why he gets so upset when Divas and Superstars date. I mean, we're on the road together constantly. Really what does he expect?"
"You'd know that better than me, Paul. He's your father-in-law."
"I just don't get it" he said as he shook his head. "Eventually though he's going to find out what's going on. Of course Steph and I will come to their defense."
"I'm sure they'll appreciate it."
"Well anyway, has Amy talked to you about who she is going to pick?" he asked.
"Actually, she's going to when we meet up. She's really been thinking about it for a while."
"She really trusts you a lot doesn't she?" he asked. "Seems like she's always asking you for your advice."
"Yes she does. And I trust her. She's my best friend…well my best girl friend anyway."
"Don't worry" he smiled. "I know we're still best friends, Dave. Anyway I'm going to go find Steph. See ya later, big guy."
Paul stood up and left catering. I saw Amy walk by and she gave him a quick hug. She headed straight over to my table, offering smiles and hellos to everyone along the way. After stopping briefly to talk to Mickie, Amy sat down next to me and put her head on my shoulder. I gently kissed the top of her head and wrapped my arm around her shoulder as I pulled her in for a hug.
"You two are adorable" Mickie said across the room. Amy just smiled at her.
"What's up bestie?" Amy asked me.
"Well" I sighed. "I want to know what you think about something…"
"Sure bestie" she smiled. "Shoot."
"I think I'm going to ask Barbi to be my girl tonight" I whispered. "What do you think?"
"That's great bestie" she grinned. "Go for it! She's a sweetheart."
"Now what about you, bestie?"
Amy leaned over and whispered her decision in my ear. I know it took her a while to make up her mind, but I'm glad she finally has. Maybe now she will finally be able to relax.
"So when are you going to tell them, bestie?"
"I think I will tonight" she sighed. "I need to get this over with. The longer I draw it out, the more hurt the guy I didn't pick is going to be."
"Yeah" I nodded. "Telling them before you officially join Legacy in two weeks is a good idea. And you know I'm here for you."
"I know you are, bestie" she said as she looked up at me. "I love you."
"I love you too, bestie."

Amy's POV
3 hours later
Bestie has been out to dinner with Barbi for a while and I still haven't met up with the guys to tell them my decision. I made bestie promise not to tell them I'd made up my mind. They weren't bothering me at all, but a certain loud mouthed Canadian is.
"Pleeeeeeeeease tell me Amy" Chris begged for the millionth time. "I must know!!"
"No way Jackass" I grunted. "You are not finding out til they do."
"Well then grow a pair and tell them" he demanded.
"I don't want to" I whined. "And you just want me to tell them so YOU can find out."
"Why Amy" he gasped. "I can't believe you're suggesting such a thing!"
"Has anyone ever told you you're annoying?" I said as I turned on my laptop and signed on AIM. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I got an IM almost immediately. "Oh christ."
"Let me guess blondie" Chris grinned. "Matt is iming you?"
"Yup."
HighFlyer83: Hey Amy. What are you up to?
RavishingGrimness: Getting harassed by stupid Y2Jackass. He found out I've made up my mind so now he won't leave me alone. I haven't even told the guy I picked yet! The only person I've told is bestie.
HighFlyer83: When do you plan on telling them?
RavishingGrimness: I hope tonight, but I can't find the courage. Someone is seriously going to get their heart broken. I know I'm delaying the inevitable but I just feel terrible.
HighFlyer83: Do you plan on doing it before you join Legacy?
RavishingGrimness: Yeah of course. But I'm terrified the guy I didn't pick is going to hate me.
HighFlyer83: I don't think you have to worry about that, Amy. They both care about you a lot.
RavishingGrimness: Yeah but that could go out the window when their heart gets broken.
HighFlyer83: Not even a broken heart can stop a person from caring about another.
RavishingGrimness: I know. I just….I don't know.
HighFlyer83: Amy I promise it'll be alright. Tell them when you're ready and don't stress yourself out.
RavishingGrimness: Thanks Matt. I gotta go. I'm going to hit Y2Jackass.
HighFlyer83: Don't hit him too hard! Talk to you later.
RavishingGrimness: I'll try. Bye.
"Amyyyyyyyyyyy" Chris whined. "Tell meeeeeeeeeeeeee."
I picked up a pillow, walked over to Chris, and smacked him.
"Shaddupa your face!"
"Oww that hurt" he cried. "You're evil."
"No. Evil would be eating Taco Bell, using the can, and not spraying when I'm done."
"Ewwwwwwwww blondie!!" Chris shuddered. "That's just WRONG!!"
"You keep bugging me and you're going to get some first hand knowledge!"
"Ok ok" he said as he threw his hands up in surrender. "I'll stop."
"That's what I thought."
