Chapter 5: "A Mistake"

After 10 minutes Ashley had managed to throw all her clothes back in the suitcase and to put it in the Rated R superstar's car.

"About time," he commented as she finally entered the car.

"Thanks for your help btw."

"I offered and you sent me away!" He pointed out half amused.

"Whatever." She said rolling her eyes.

Then after a few minutes he burst into laughter.

"What's so funny now?" She asked annoyed.

"Sorry but it was priceless, you should have seen your face when the suitcase spread open!" He kept on laughing.

"Stop it." She rolled her eyes.

"C'mon it was a classic comic moment!"

Since laughter is always contagious and since actually it had been indeed a funny situation, Ashley started to laugh as well.

"Okay, maybe a little." She admitted amused.

"I told you so." He genuinely smiled looking at her when her cell phone interrupted the moment.

"It's a SMS." She said taking out the phone and silently giggled reading:

"Please hold on till the end of the night! Don't kill him! We know you can do this! We're with you, go Ash! XD laterz, Paul."

"Boyfriend?" Adam asked as he had observed her sideway.

"Nope, I don't have one." She responded with a little smile.

"Ok," he nodded "so you're in a threesome with the two little partners of yours then?" He grinned.

"What?" She exclaimed.

"Just kidding," he laughed "but if you need any, come searching for me sweetheart." He added with his trademark self-complacent smirk.

"You're unbelievable." She shook her head.

"I take it as a compliment." He said amused as she slid off her black bandana and turned to throw it on the back seat along with her purse.

"OMG!"

"What?" He said taking his eyes off of the road for a moment to look at her.

"What is this?" She asked returning in her position and showing him a magazine.

"Oh, that. Wonderful issue." He grinned.

"What are you doing with my playboy?" She asked in disbelief.

"What you can imagine." He said amused with an allusive smile.

"Oh c'mon stop it." She rolled her eyes and hit him on the arm with the magazine.

"Ouch!"

"I meant what is this doing on the back seat of your car?"

"I told you it's a wonderful issue." He grinned.

"Oh shut up!" She said literally sitting on it.

"And what are you doing now?" He asked amused.

"It's embarrassing."

"Well you can hide it as long as you want… but that doesn't mean that I don't remember page 35… or even better page 39." He smirked.

"Please kill me now." She muttered looking up above and making him laugh all over again.

A half hour later they entered a nice small restaurant and after he had spoken with a waiter they were sent into a privet area.

"Thanks." Ashley smiled as the waiter kindly pulled her chair forward. "It's nice here." She added then looking at the Rated R superstar sat in front of her.

"Yes it is." He agreed studying the menu.

"So is this when you usually bring your dates?"

"Oh no," he said with a grin looking at her "they usually come first into my bedroom."

"Do you try to be a pig or it comes out naturally?" She asked rolling her eyes as he chuckled.

"Maybe naturally with you."

"Thanks, I'm really flattered."

As the dinner went on the two superstars alternated small talks with moments of silence. Ashley wasn't comfortable with that; it was the first time they were actually in each other's company and he had something that annoyed her, badly.

Adam, by his side, seemed perfectly okay with the way the evening was going and seemed to enjoy making her upset on any subject.

So she mentally sighed relieved when they started to talk about their job, hoping that that could last till the end of the dinner and of that un-requested date.

"So? Plans for the future?" He casually asked.

She finished a sip of her water and put down the glass. "I'm not medical cleared yet to compete again but as soon as I can I will get my revenge on Jillian. Even though I'd like to have at least a rematch for the title against Melina but-"

"Are you serious?" He interrupted her with a laugh.

"…sorry? About what?" She asked confused.

"Isn't it clear? Why should you have a rematch?"

"Because I think it's everyone's right to have one." She replied matter-of-factly.

"No I mean… do you really think you would win the title? They just gave you the title shot because of your playboy cover. Pose again and you'll have your rematch." He added amused.

The dirty diva couldn't believe what he had just said. Yes, she knew that some people thought that… but to hear it from a guy sat in front of you who deliberately chose to take you out on a date was a little different.

"What are you doing?" He asked as she stood up.

"What am I doing? Do you think that you not only can take me out against my will but also that I'll remain here to listen as you bash me?" She clicked her tongue in anger "Who do you think you are to judge me like that?"

"Calm down I was just-"

"Shut up!" She yelled "Date's over."

"We have to be together till 1 AM." He pointed out.

"I couldn't care less." She replied with a cold glare and turned on herself to leave. "And don't even try to follow me cause I can perfectly go back to the hotel by myself."

Edge could only look at her almost speechless as she stormed off.


Next time: will Adam apologize to Ashley? Or will they fight once again?
