"So what do you feel like eating?" Ted asked after he and Kourtney set their luggage in his car and climbed inside.
Kourtney thought for a second. "I don't know. Anything sounds good. You can decide."
Ted smirked as he pulled out into the open road. "Ok, if you say so."
As they drove around looking for an open place to eat, Ted reached for Kourtney's hand and gently squeezed it. She looked toward him and smiled. "I want to know something about you," he said quietly.
She furrowed her eyebrows. "Like what?"
"Anything."
"Ummm…my full name is Kourtney Marie Hammond and my parents names are David and Gina. You've already met my sister Kara and we are extremely close. My favorite color is pink and as you already know, my favorite movie is Dirty Dancing."
"Yeah about that movie…that was a total chick flick. And no offense but I was bored really quick," Ted admitted.
Kourtney laughed out loud before leaning over the center consil and kissed Ted's cheek. "But you watched it with me. That means a lot and you won't have to go through that again!" she smiled. Ted silently breathed a sigh of relief. "Now I want to know something about you Mr. DiBiase!"
Ted twisted his mouth in thought. "First of all, how about the Olive Garden to eat? It looks as if they are still open."
"Yum, I love the Olive Garden. Definitely!" she agreed.
"Alright," he chuckled.
Once they parked, Ted and Kourtney walked hand in hand through the front doors and into the restaurant. Since it was later in the night, the restaurant was relatively quiet and they both were thankful. Once seated, Kourtney turned her attention back to Ted.
"Ok, so you still haven't answered my request. Tell me something about you!"
Ted chuckled as he leaned back against the booth. "Well…I can't really tell you about my family because you've already met them. Ummm…I played football in high school and did pretty good. My favorite color is blue and not really too picky when it comes to movies. And I did consider becoming a minister in college."
"Really?" Kourtney asked as Ted nodded. "I never knew that."
"You learn something new everyday," he smiled as the waitress came up. After ordering their food and drinks, he was glad the conversation continued. "So I've been meaning to ask how are you feeling today?"
"Decent," she shrugged. "I've still been kind of nauseous and threw up a few times, but it's gotten a little better. But I have never been so tired in my life! I will be glad when the first trimester is over."
Ted nodded, not really knowing what to say. "Well I am glad it's gotten better, even if it's only a little."
"If I only could time that, I would have thrown up on Melina when I caught them this afternoon."
He then took a deep breath. "Do you mind if I ask how all that went down? And how are you doing with everything?"
"You know what, I'm doing ok. I'm mad about the situation but I know I will get over it quickly. I was going to break up with John anyway so to see him with her…I really wasn't all that upset," Kourtney explained as she ate her bread stick. "As for finding them, I walked around looking for him and Miz said he was by the EXIT area. I looked around and when I tried calling him, I could hear his ring tone in the distance. I walked closer to it, and well you know the rest."
Before Ted could respond, their waitress came back with plates full of hot food. They both ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo, although Kourtney ordered hers with chicken, and as Kourtney dug into her food, Ted decided to change the subject.
"So, what are you going to do tomorrow?" he finally asked.
Deep down, Kourtney was glad he did change the subject. "Umm…I guess fly home. I mean, I really don't have anything going on. What about you?"
"Vince is sending me and Kofi down to Mexico to promote the Royal Rumble," Ted said. "And don't worry, I really am going to Mexico," he joked.
Kourtney tilted her head. "Yes of course I know you are. I've heard you and Kofi say something, and plus I heard Vince say something. Ted, I know you aren't the type to lie to me."
"Your right, I'm not," he agreed smiling.
After dinner was done, it was decided to head back to the hotel since Ted and Kourtney both had early flights the next day. The ride in the elevator was quiet as he had a question burning inside him, but yet was to chicken to say anything. Luckily, they were on the same floor and as Ted walked Kourtney to her room, they both noticed John sitting in front of the door.
"John? What are you doing here?" Kourtney asked, walking faster toward him.
As soon as he heard her voice, John got up from the ground. "I wanted to talk and explain things. I still think we can work things out," he said as he noticed Ted was further behind them, waiting patiently. "And what is this clown doing with you? We haven't even been broken up 24 hours and you've already moved on?"
"First of all, Ted and I just had dinner together. He is my baby's father and like I told you earlier maybe we will get together and maybe we won't, but as for now I don't think it's any of your business! Second of all, there is no us anymore. There is no relationship to save. You screwed that up while fucking Melina behind my back."
"And what about you? You weren't Ms. Faithful either," John commented.
Kourtney then held up one finger. "One time John, one time!" she yelled. "You on the other hand had been fucking around for 3 months, long before my one night with Ted!"
Ted had finally heard enough and came up behind Kourtney. "Kourtney, you don't need to explain anymore. Let's just go inside your room."
"That's a good idea," she nodded. "I'm done talking John. Please leave."
"Oh so now your listening to this ass clown," John exclaimed. "What are you going to go inside your room to get it on?"
"Don't talk to her like that and it's not your business what will happen in there," Ted exclaimed, walking past Kourtney.
"Stop it now!" she finally yelled. "John, I'm only going to say this one last time. Please leave! I am done talking!"
Both John and Ted were surprised by Kourtney's sudden outburst. John looked from Kourtney to Ted, shook his head and finally walked away. "This isn't over."
Saying nothing back, Kourtney opened up her room door and let herself and Ted inside. "Damn him," she growled. "Why does he have to be such a douche!"
"I think he's just surprised that your not caving in to him and giving him another chance," he mentioned as kneeled in front of Kourtney on the bed.
She shrugged. "Maybe, but I'm sorry. I don't have any tolerance for cheaters. Even if we became a couple down the road-if you were to cheat on me, I would break up with you too in a heartbeat."
Ted nodded as he rose from the floor and sat next to the woman on the bed. "Kourt, can I ask you something? And I know this may be bad timing but I need to know."
"Sure, what is it?"
"I know that you've just broken up with John, but after this afternoon…does that make us anything?"
Kourtney knew exactly what he was talking about, the make out session in his locker room. "Ted, believe me this afternoon was amazing, and I am definitely attracted to you. It's just…I just broke up with John. I don't know if I want to get into another relationship right off the bat."
Even though he was crushed inside, Ted tried not to show it. He only nodded. "Well then I am going to whoo you the old fashion way."
She giggled. "Whoo?"
"Yes whoo. I know you just got out of a bad relationship, but who's to say we couldn't have something awesome and amazing. I want to show you that the old fashion way by dates and stuff…and maybe be in agreement that a relationship is where we are headed. Does that sound ok?"
Kourtney nodded as she softly smiled. "Yeah that sounds ok. And just so you know, it's not that I don't want to be in a relationship with you. It's just…I just broke up with John and I want to make sure all those feelings are gone. That wouldn't be fair to you."
"You don't have to explain anything Kourtney. Things aren't going to change between us, and maybe I can show you that all guys, meaning me, aren't bad," he smiled. "So we are in agreement, maybe heading toward a relationship in the future?"
She nodded. "Yep, we are in agreement," Kourtney said as Ted leaned down and softly kissed her.
"Good," he said as he stood up. "Well, I should probably get back to my room. Do you want a ride to the airport in the morning?"
"Sure, that would be great."
"Ok, I will be here at 7 if that works for you."
"Yeah, that sounds fine," Kourtney agreed as they walked toward the door. "Good night Ted, and thank you for EVERYTHING tonight."
"Your welcome, and good night," he whispered as they kissed once more.
The next morning, Ted picked her up as promised and drove to the airport together. After dropping off his rental keys, they found the appropriate flight times on a big screen. Kourtney's flight left at 9:10 and Ted's left at 10:00.
"Have a safe flight," Kourtney said as she pulled Ted in a hug. "I'm going to miss you."
"You have no idea how much I will miss you," he exclaimed. "But I will call you and or text you every day. I promise."
"I might just hold you to that promise!"
Ted smirked as Kourtney's flight was called. "And you know I follow through on my promises!"
She nodded as Ted leaned down and locked his lips within hers. Although she didn't want to, Kourtney broke the embrace. "I have to go."
"Call me when you get home, just so I know your safe."
"I will. See you next Monday," Kourtney said as she walked away, heading toward the ticket counter. She looked back toward Ted, who was still there waiting, and they both waved to each other. Kourtney then disappeared through the doorway, heading toward her plane.
Once she was completely out of sight, Ted started walking in the appropriate direction and wasn't too surprised to see Kofi already waiting. "Hey Kofi," he exclaimed slapping his shoulder.
"Hey! Why are you so down?"
Ted shrugged. "I'm not down at all. It's just going to be a very long week!"
