Chapter 66:
Eve Torres was annoyed to say the very least. She had been hoping to cause a huge rift in Haley and Dave's relationship this weekend with Randy's trip to Boston, but the idea had failed. There was no rift at all, evidence being Dave standing in the hallway, a huge grin on his face as he talked to his girlfriend on his cell phone.
"What's it going to take!" She exclaimed, thoroughly frustrated. "There's got to be some way to break them." She muttered to herself.
Glancing around the nearly deserted hallway as she waited for Batista to wrap up his phone call, her mind began to plot out some new form of attack on Haley and Dave's relationship. She was determined to have Batista for herself, no ifs, ands or buts about it.
The door at the end of the hall opened, letting light from the parking lot spill into the corridor. Eve's eyebrows lifted in intrigue and a smirk formed on her features as she watched Randy Orton enter the building. Maybe what she needed was a partner in crime. Randy wanted Haley, Eve wanted Dave, could there be a better a solution? Eve didn't think so.
Glancing over her shoulder to see Batista still occupied on the phone, Eve approached the Legend Killer. "Hey Randy." She greeted him casually.
A frown marred his handsome features as he regarded her with open disdain. "What do you want?"
Eve merely blinked at his cold tone. "Relax, I come in peace."
"Considering you're the reason Haley's not here, you can't be that surprised that I don't like you." Randy rolled his eyes, unlocking the door leading into his locker room.
"Actually, Haley is what I came to talk to you about." She admitted, tucking her hands into the pockets of her jeans.
"I doubt I'd be interested in anything you have to say about her." Randy retorted, entering the locker room thinking that would put an end to the conversation.
But, Eve followed him inside. "Look Randy, it's no secret how you feel about Haley. The whole world pretty much knows you're in love with her. And you'd give anything to be with her, correct?"
Randy shot her a bored look as he set his bag down. "What's it to you, Eve?"
"I want Dave, plain and simple. So you and I have something in common. We don't want them together." Eve pointed out. "Now I've done my best to get between them by myself. But it hasn't worked. So I was thinking, we should work together to get what we want."
Randy was quiet for a moment, staring at her intently. Finally, he seemed to exhale. "I'm listening."
"Dwayne, you're being obnoxious." Haley complained, before turning her attention back to her phone. "Sorry, he's in some kind of singing mood."
Dave chuckled on the other end. "At least you're being entertained though, right?"
Haley smiled, even though he couldn't see her. "I suppose in a way I am. I'm not bored that's for sure. Who knew he sang in the shower?"
"At least he's not horribly off-key." Dave offered. "Besides, in three days you're going to have to deal with my singing in the shower." He said playfully.
Haley giggled. "You don't sing in the shower. But you're right, three more days and then you're here with me. I can't wait. I've missed you like crazy."
"I miss you too, Baby. Every second you're not here is killing me." Dave admitted. "I hate sleeping in that big bed by myself. I got used to holding you against me."
"Trust me, I hate that too. I'm colder at night and lonelier. Soon though, soon we'll be in the same bed again." Haley sighed.
"Soon isn't fast enough if you ask me. I thought it was hell when I was away from you on SmackDown, this is worse. It drives me crazy being away from you, hence the outbursts of temper recently." He admitted with a bitter chuckle. "And knowing that a man who feels the same way about you that I do, is there with you, spending time with you, makes me jealous."
"Dave," Haley's voice was soft, to soothe. "I picked you. I love you. I love Randy in my own way, and I'm sorry that upsets you, really I am. But the rest of my lifetime, I want to spend it loving you."
There was a grin in his voice as he replied. "And knowing that helps, Baby. I don't want you to think I don't trust you. That's not it at all. Him, I don't trust, but you, if you tell me you love me and pick me, I believe it."
"I love you and I choose you." She said with complete honesty. "Randy and I may have had something a while ago, but it's faded, at least for me. What I feel for you, it's rare, magical and it only happens once in a blue moon."
Dave laughed. "Feeling cheesy and sentimental, Love?"
"With you," She laughed as well, feeling light hearted and happy again. "Always."
"God, I miss you." He breathed out.
"I miss you too. I'm counting the hours until your flight lands." She ran a hand through her hair. "I'll be at the airport early, that's how excited I'm going to be."
"And I'll be wishing the pilot puts the plane into turbo." Dave joked, leaning against the cold concrete wall. "I hope you know that as soon as I see you, I'm not letting you go for a long time. So breathe while you can, cause I might accidentally crush you."
Haley let out a string of giggles, imagining the scene. "You can explain it to Hunter then when my ribs are broken on top of my shoulder."
Dave shook his head and grinned. "I can take him."
"You know, don't tell anyone I said this, but you're the only one I think who could." She sighed contentedly. "Three days seems like forever."
"I know what you mean, but it's coming, Haley. Soon." He assured her. "I've got to go and get ready for the show though, as much as I'd love to stay and talk to you for the rest of the night."
"That's right, you actually get to work." Haley groaned good-naturedly. "Lucky Bastard."
"You'll be back soon enough, Baby and you'll knock 'em dead." He chuckled in response. "I'll call you after the show, how's that sound?"
"Like something I'll settle for." Haley agreed. "Good luck out there tonight. Could you kick Santino's annoying ass for me, while you're at it."
"For you, of course." Dave grinned. "I love you, Haley."
"I love you too." She replied.
A/N: Blame WWE for my lack of updating. It has sucked up one side and down the other recently. Candice is released, Kennedy's released. Batista is heel. Cena runs the show and Jeff's gone. I watch for Evan Bourne, HHH, Dave, Matt Hardy and Christian. That's it.
For Divas, I've got McCool for the most part. I know she's not well liked, but I like her. She makes me laugh and is an excellent heel. She entertains me.
Anyway, I'm going to try to update this more. Mostly because I want to finish it and get to the third part already :)
Thanks for sticking with me, if you're still there lol
