| My name is Andrea and I work with the WWE. I’m Evolution’s Personal Assistant, or lackey if you’d rather call it that. When I first started working with the guys that’s what I felt like… they pretty much had me doing the shitty stuff that they didn’t want to do. I tolerated the shitty treatment for about a week before I let them have it, I don’t take shit from anyone it may have taken me awhile to get up enough courage to stand up to Evolution but I did. And ever since I told them where to stick it we’ve been friends. I’ve been working with the WWE ever since Evolution was formed. I get along great with ’my boys’ now but in the beginning it sucked. There were many times that I had wanted to quit, but I’m really glad that I didn’t quit because they’re truly great guys. You definitely wouldn’t know that from the way they act while in the public eye, but they’re like a bunch of big teddy bears. I had just gotten into the arena that we were appearing at when my cell phone rang. “Hello?” “Hi. Is this Andrea?” “Yes, who is this?” “This is Katie, Kay’s best friend.” “Oh Hi. I haven’t talked to you in quite some time, how have you been?” “I’m pretty shitty actually. You’re probably wondering why I’m calling you.” “Sort of, yes.” “Well, I wanted to let you know that Kay died. She had ovarian cancer.” “Oh My God! When did Kay die?” “She died 5 days ago. We had a funeral for her 2 days ago.” “I don’t know what to say. I can’t believe she’s dead. How long did she have cancer?” “She’s had it for a while now, but she didn’t know about it until a month ago.” “Oh.” “I was just looking thru her phone book, I found your number and thought that you should know what happened.” “Well, thank you for letting me know. I hope everyone out there is ok.” “We’re all still in shock but we’ll be okay.” “Tell everyone that I’m praying for them.” “I will. Bye.” “Bye, and Katie… I’m really sorry.” “Yea, me too.” The entire time I had been on the phone I was standing in the middle of the hallway, and after I had found out the awful news I had stopped walking. After I hung up I tried to get my bearings but it wasn’t working and I started bawling. Kay had been one of my best friends. She was my roommate throughout college, and I couldn’t believe that she was gone. Somehow I walked to the Evolution locker room. I hadn’t even realized that I had moved. I went in without knocking. Batista was about to yell at me for not knocking, until he looked at me. He went over to me, “Are you okay Rea?” I just shook my head no and continued to sob. Dave (Batista) grabbed me in his big arms and took me over to the couch. He sat down and I just cried on him. Dave was trying to get me to calm down, “It’s ok honey. Everything will be alright.” But nothing he was saying was working, I was still hysterical. Finally Paul (Triple H) came into the locker room. “Dave… what’s wrong with Rea?” “I don’t know man. She’s been like this the entire time she’s been in here.” Paul walked over to us, “Rea. Honey, what happened? What’s wrong?” I just grabbed Paul’s bicep and Paul took me out of Dave’s arms. “Come on hun. Tell me what happened, who did this to you?” I shook my head, “No *sob* one…” Paul shook his head, “Rea. You have to calm down. Take deep breaths. You’re going to be okay. We just need to know what happened.” At that moment Ric (Flair) and Randy (Orton) came into the locker room. They were laughing about something until they noticed what was going on. They shot a confused look at Dave but Dave just shrugged his shoulders, signaling he didn’t know what was going on. Finally I stopped sobbing, but the tears were still running freely. “Kay, one of my best friends died. She had ovarian cancer.” All four guys just looked at me with sorrow. Paul said, “You’re going to be alright Rea. Kay’s not suffering anymore.” I just shook my head yes, “I know that. I should be happy that she’s not in anymore pain, but I can’t. She’s one of the few people I told everything to. She was my Kay-Bear. I’m always gonna miss her.” I stood up, “It’s like when my Aunt Bernie died when I was 9. She was in so much pain so I knew it was better for her because she didn’t have to live in pain anymore, but I still missed her. I even missed her yelling at me for the stupidest stuff.” All four guys came over to me and gave me big bear hugs. I just smiled, “Thanks for being here guys. I don’t know what I would do without you.” Dave laughed, “You would have been crying into a pillow instead of on my shirt.” I looked at his shirt and sure enough there was a huge wet spot by his shoulder. “I’m sorry D. Think of the wet spot as a sign that I love you.” Dave laughed, “I wasn’t complaining Rea. I don’t mind. If you ever need anyone to cry on I’m there.” I smiled, “Thanks D.” And I gave him a hug, which he turned into a bear hug and he wouldn’t let me go. “Dave. Babe, let go. I can’t breathe.” “If you can’t breathe, how are you talking?” “Smart Ass. Let go.” “Okay.” Dave let go of me, only to throw me over his shoulder. Dave laughed evilly, “Try to get away from me now!” I rolled my eyes, “Dave… please put me down.” “Nope. I like this view too much.” And with that he put his hand on my butt and squeezed. My eyes about bugged out of my head. Then when I realized that his hand was still cupping my butt cheek I shook my head and in a sugar coated voice, “Davey… will you please put me down??” “Nope. You’re light as a feather, I could carry you like this all day. Hell I might even bring you down to the ring like this.” I shook my head fiercely, “DAVE! You wouldn’t dare!” “Oh I wouldn’t huh? What do you think guys… instead of wearing my belt on my shoulder I could wear Rea on my shoulder.” Ric laughed, “WOOO! I think the guys might like that. They might like it too much actually.” I smiled at what Ric said, “Yea. They might like it too much. Then you’d have some competition.” Randy smirked, “Competition for what Rea?” Completely joking I said, “Competition for me of course. I mean, I KNOW all the guys backstage love me and want a piece… but if they saw me like this, with my ass in the air and my tits falling out of my shirt, then I’d be sure to get some tonight.” Paul laughed, “I think you’ve been hanging around Randy too much.” I smirked like Randy, “Yea, now I’m turning into a cocky bastard.” Dave then patted my butt and said, “Baby… if you wanted some all you had to do was ask and I would have given it to you.” I smiled, “Well then… Dave. I want you. Will you give it to me?” With that Dave threw me off his shoulder and started chasing me around the room. “NO! DAVE!! I WAS KIDDING!” Dave looked hurt, “You mean you don’t want some?” I walked over to him stupidly, “No Dave. I don’t want some. BUT if I did then I would DEFINETLY come to you.” With that I gave Dave a kiss on the cheek. Ric shook his head talking to Paul, “When will those two learn? They’re perfect for each other.” “Yea I agree Natche.” I whipped my head towards them, “Excuse me!?” Ric smiled, “You and Dave are perfect for one another. When are you going to go out on a date?” My eyes got big, “Umm… never??” Randy shook his head, “Ask her out man.” Dave just looked confused, “Really? I should?” Paul shook his head yes, “Yea. You get along great, go for it.” Dave and I were looking shocked at the other three guys, then Dave and I looked at each other. “Well, Rea… what do you say? Would you go out with me sometime?” I just stared at Dave, he was being such a cutie, “Sure. But if it doesn’t work out we’ll still be friends right?” “Yep. Still friends.” And with that said the five of us went into ‘show mode’, getting ready for RAW that night. After RAW was over and Evolution had made their final appearance the guys headed beck to the locker room so we could get outta there. I was sitting there waiting for them, when they came in I jumped up, “You guys did awesome out there!” Then I gave Ric, Randy and Dave each a hug. Paul looked sad, “I don’t get a hug?” I turned to him, “NO. You pedigreed Shawn Michaels… for that the only thing you deserve is some Sweet Chin Music!” With that I stuck my tongue out at Paul. Ric shook his head, “I can’t believe you like HBK more then Evolution.” I turned to Ric, “Aww Natche… you know I’ve loved Shawn ever since I was a little girl. Now if he would just leave Becca everything would be perfect.” I had been kidding about the last part. Dave looked sad, Randy said, “You like HBK more then Dave? That’s low.” I rolled my eyes, “Don’t start with me Orton. You guys know how over protective I get when Shawn’s involved. You guys know I love you… BUT when it comes down to it, if there’s a choice between any of you and Shawn… I’m gonna pick Shawn. That is unless Shawnie does something to REALLY piss me off.” Paul just shook his head, “Man… Why’d they give us a P.A. that was in love with Shawn?” I rolled my eyes, “They gave you me because they knew that I would be able to handle you… THAT’S WHY!” Dave sighed, “I guess I can come in 2nd compared to Shawn. I mean… it COULD be worse.” I went over to Dave and gave him a hug. “You only come in 2nd behind Shawn in SOME areas. Not all Babe. Although you tend to scare people off, you ARE a hunk. And you’ve got WAY more muscle then Shawn. *sigh* I’m just glad you’re not beating him up anymore. I don’t think I could handle going out on a date with someone who chokes Shawn on a weekly basis.” Dave smiled, “I’m a hunk, huh?” I just put my arms around his neck, “Yea Babe. Shawn’s got NOTHING on you in that department.” I looked over at Paul, “Hell, I think you may have even surpassed Paul in that department.” Then I got an evil gleam in my eye… “You know… I’m not too sure about that. Maybe you should each show me how big your muscles are.” With that I wiggled my eyebrows. Paul shook his head, “Rea. Hun… you’ve got it bad.” “What makes you say that Paulie?” Paul laughed, “You just said Dave is more hunky then Shawn.” I put my hand on my chin as if I was thinking really hard, “I guess I did, didn’t I? *shrugs* Oh well, I’ve got no reason to lie about it… Hell, I’ll even say it again. Dave, you’re more hunky then Shawn Michaels.” Dave got a BIG smile on his face. Then he stood right in front of me, “You’ve earned yourself a piggy back ride. Hop On!” I squealed and hopped onto Dave’s back… totally acting 5... Not 24. With that we headed to our rental cars and went to the hotel. Did I mention how much I LOVE piggy back rides?? Didn’t think so. When we got to the hotel Evolution had it’s regular 5 bedroom suite. I mean hell… it’s Evolution, they get nothing but the best. And that would be ANOTHER one of the perks of being Evolution’s P.A. Everyone was pretty tired when we got up to our rooms so we all headed straight to bed. And just to clarify… Evolution is not what it seems. They don’t go out and party every night, although they could with no problem. The guys themselves are NOTHING like their cocky roles on TV. Yea… They’re pretty good actor’s aren’t they?? --The Next Morning-- Ric came in a and woke me up at 9am. “Five more minutes dad.” “Ha, Ha. Very funny! Get your ass up outta bed.” Ric threw the covers off me, “HEY! What would you have done if I had been naked?” Ric thought about it, “Eh… I would have lived. It’s not like the sight would have blinded me or anything.” I threw my pillow at his head, “You big oaf. Remind me why I have to get up again…” Ric shook his head, “You know… Considering you’re our P.A. you tend to forget things a lot. You’re going to the gym with us.” I frowned, “The Gym? Why do I gotta go to a gym??” Ric shook his head, “I really should send someone else to do this job every morning. This same routine over and over gets old.” I finally got up out of the bed, “I still don’t see why ya’ll want me to got to the gym. Yea, I know I’m not in shape… does it look like I care though?? NOPE… I don’t give a flying fuck.” Paul comes into the room without knocking, “Is she complaining about the gym again Ric?” “Doesn’t she always?” Paul came over to me, “Rea… It’s not that we don’t think you look good and all, because obviously you look fine… BUT we think it would be better for you if you just worked out some. I’m not saying you should try to lift weights like the Diva’s but at least run on the treadmill or something like that. K?” I just gave Paul a dirty look, “Oh shut up. Get out, I gotta get dressed to go to the gym with you goons.” I got dressed in an athletic tank top and some Nike shorts. Then I walked out into the ‘living room’ of the suite. “Are you goons ready yet?” All four guys were waiting on me, as always. Randy nodded, “Yes fearless leader… we were waiting on you again.” I just looked over at Randy and said, “Hey you big knuckle head… Paul’s over there.” Paul laughed, “Why yes, I AM fearless aren’t I??” I rolled my eyes and dryly I said, “Oh yes… you are SO fearless… I wish I was as fearless as you.” Ric laughed, “I do have to admit… that was a funny one.” Finally I said, “Ok… Evolution. Babes… Can we get this show on the road? I wanna be done with this stupid ‘work out’ in time for lunch.” So we finally left for the gym. While my boys were lifting weights and doing an awesome job I was doing some what pathetic… ok, I admit it I was doing EXTREMLY pathetic. I ran on the tread mill for about half an hour, which turned out to be 4 miles. Then I used some of those machines that I’m some what afraid of. I did some crunches. Then I got on the elliptical machine. Man… let me tell you it was LOTS of fun. Translation… it SUCKED! But my big retarded bosses made me do this with them at least three times a week. After everyone was done we left. Although it seemed like we were in there forever we were only in there for about 2 hours. We went back to the hotel. Ric was hungry and wanted to eat on the way but everyone else wanted to go back to the hotel and get showered and changed before we ate. When we got back up to the room Paul got the first bathroom and Ric got the second bathroom, which kind of sucked, but we were used to that. I mean of course the old men are going to get to shower before the young studs, and myself… they have more seniority. While we were waiting Randy wouldn’t shut up. “Hey… you two could take a shower together. It would save water. And time.” I just turned to Randy, “What the fuck? I think you left your brain over at the gym. God… you’re such a dip shit Orton. Man, THINK before you speak.” Randy shook his head, “You’re just pissed because you would like to take a shower with Dave.” I rolled my eyes, “Oh yea baby. You’ve got me ALL figured out. See the thing is, if we were to take a shower together, it would take MUCH longer then if we were to take separate showers.” Dave just looked amused and got a cute little smirk on his face. Randy raised an eyebrow ala Rock, “Oh REALLY?? And why would it take longer Rea… Why?” I shook me head, looked over at Dave and said, “He asked, didn’t he?” Then turned back to Randy, “Well… you ask Why? I think I can answer that… If I were to take a shower with Dave, then I don’t know if I’d ever want to leave the shower. I would have WAY too much fun with that. We could wash each other and…” while I was saying this I was staring at Dave, I got a BIG smile on my face and bit my lip, “Yea. I would NEVER want to leave the bathroom with Dave.” Rand laughed, “I seem to have started a fantasy in that little head of yours, haven’t I?” I rolled my eyes, “No Orton… don’t fool yourself. You did NOT put that idea in my head. It’s been in there for quite some time.” I looked over at Dave and mouthed ‘no’ Dave smiled and shook his head in understanding, knowing that I was just saying that to get Randy to shut up about it. Finally Ric came out of the bathroom, “Bathroom’s free.” I rolled my eyes at Randy, “One of you guys can go. I’ll go last.” Randy got a huge smile on his face, “You two just want to be alone.” And with that he got his clothes to go take a shower. Ric looked at Dave and I confused, “What was that about?” I just smiled sweetly, “Orton told Dave and I that we should shower together to save water and time. So I pulled a fast one on him, that’s all.” Dave laughed, “Yea, she sure all hell did.” Ric questioned, “What did you say to him Rea?” I got an evil smile on my face and said, “Why don’t you tell him Babe?” Ric looked shocked by my reaction. Dave shook his head, “Rea here told Randy that if we were to take a shower together that it would take MUCH longer then each of us taking a shower separately. Then she mentioned that we would wash each others bodies and things like that.” I looked at Ric expecting him to laugh but I was surprised to fine his eyes popping out of his head in shock. “What!?” I smiled sweetly, “I pretty much told Randy where to stuff it, only I made him think bad thoughts as well.” Ric shook his head, “That amazes me. I never thought that our little Rea would ever talk like that… especially about a member of Evolution.” I rolled my eyes, “I was only joking Ric. I would NEVER do that and you know it!” Dave snapped his fingers, “DAMN! And here I was hoping that it would come true.” I hit Dave’s arm, “Why you little… you KNEW I was only joking.” Dave smiled, “Yea, I knew you were joking. No worries, I was only bugging you.” A few minutes later Paul got out of the bathroom and Dave went to take a shower. Then Randy got done and I took a shower also. After everyone was dressed and ready we went to Lonestar Steak House for lunch. --At Lunch-- After we placed our order with the waiter we started to chit chat about pretty much everything. Eventually the topic was switched to my date with Dave. “So… Dave, Rea… when’s this date you’re going to go on?” I looked over at Dave, “I dunno, what do you think D?” Dave smiled, “How about tonight?” I was kind of surprised that he picked tonight but I smiled, “Sure, that sounds great. Where are we going to go?” Dave smiled, “I think that should be a surprise. All you need to worry about is wearing a fancy dress and looking beautiful like always.” I rolled my eyes, “Oh whatever, you think you’re SO smooth. Well, I’ve got news for you… I don’t have any fancy dresses with me, Mr. Batista.” Paul just shook his head, “Sometimes I think you forget who we are Rea. We’re Evolution, we get anything we want, whenever we want it.” I rolled my eyes, “Oh yea. I forgot again… sorry, you guys just act so normal I forget you have money come out the ass.” All four of them looked at me with the same expression, ‘when will you stop being so damn sarcastic.’ “I’m sorry guys. I know you get annoyed with my sarcastic-ness… but that’s just how I’ve always been. My humor sucks and that’s all there is to it.” Paul shook his head, “Now before I was RUDELY interrupted I was going to say that you could use my credit card, but now I’m not so sure.” I looked down at my lap, “I’m sorry Paulie. I didn’t mean to make you mad, but you REALLY don’t need to pay for my dress. I think I can deal with it.” Then I got a big smile on my face, “Ya’ll might have to give me a raise, but that’s ok… I think I’ve got one coming anyway. *giggle*” The guys all looked at each other, Ric said, “I dunno… I don’t think you deserve a raise yet. But how about each of us pays for a forth of the dress. Then you won’t have to worry about the cost. Hell, just use the Evolution card that Vince gave us to use for anything related to business.” I looked at Ric weird, “And how does a date have anything to do with business?” Paul smiled, “Well, you’re going on a date with someone from the business… hell, it’s even someone from Evolution. Plus… I think Vince would be happy to know you two are going on a date. All the older guys have mentioned how you two look good together.” I raised my eyebrow like the Rock would (*AN*… I just HAD to) “Oh REALLY… and just WHO said we look good together?” Ric shook his head, “I don’t know if we should tell you. Guys?” Randy laughed, “Tell her, she’s gonna go insane.” Paul agreed. Ric said, “Fine. When Paul said all the older guys he meant all the guys that have been around the business for years and years. Like ’Taker, Shawn, Kane, Jericho, Shane, Nash, Steve… basically the entire company thinks you two are cute together, including us of course.” I smiled, “Wow… I had no clue that so many people though Dave and I would look great together. It’s awesome, but kinda weird. And OF COURSE you three are rooting for us. He’s your boy and I’m ME… who wouldn’t like us? *hehehe*” The food finally came, we ate and then went back to the hotel. I had decided I needed to find someone to go dress shopping with me. --Back at the Hotel-- When we got back to the hotel I started to think about where to go shopping for a dress for tonight. I didn’t want to go alone, “Guys. Do any of you wanna go shopping with me?” Ric laughed, “Hell No… Rea, when you shop it’s crazy.” I rolled my eyes, “Thanks a lot gramps. *hehehe* What about you three?” Randy shrugged, “Unless you can find someone else to go with I’d go… I don’t really want to but I got nothing better to do.” Paul laughed, “No thanks Rea. I’d rather spend some quality time with Steph… And before you ask, NO she won’t go shopping with you. We’ve got plans.” I smiled sweetly, “I’m sure she would change her plans if I asked nicely.” Paul just looked at me evilly, “I won’t though… I don’t want you to kill me Paulie.” Then I walked over to Dave, “You haven’t answered the question… you wanna go pick out my dress with me?” Dave smiled, “I dunno… I think if I was there while you were in the dressing room you might never find a dress.” I rolled my eyes, “You little shit! For your information I would not let you into the dressing room with me. All I would have done was showed you what the dresses looked like and you coulda picked your favorite… but never mind! I take back my invitation!” Dave stuck out his bottom lip and started to pout, “If I’m good can I come?” I just looked at him with a determined look, “Nope… you missed out on your chance when you made fun of me.” And I stuck my tongue out at Dave. Dave raised his eyebrows, “Well now… I think we’re gonna have to put that tongue to good use when you stick it out again.” Then he put his arms around me, “Please Rea…. Please let me come with you.” I rolled my eyes, “I guess. But someone else has to come with too. I don’t want you opinion to be biased.” Randy spoke up, “If Dave goes I’ll go too.” I ran over to Randy and gave him a huge hug, “Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou!” Then I gave him a kiss on the cheek. Dave looked left out, “I didn’t get a kiss.” So I walked over to Dave, “Cheek?” Dave shook his head, “Nope… I don’t want a pity kiss.” I rolled my eyes, “Fine… don’t say I never did anything for ya though.” And with that I gave him a kiss on the lips. Then I backed up, “You’ll get more if you help pick out a good dress. OH! Where are we gonna go?” Dave shook his head, “Nope… that’s not gonna work. I’m not telling. You’ll just have to suffer. But don’ worry I’ll make sure the dress you pick out will look fine in the restaurant. I would say that I’d make sure it was beautiful… but anything you wear would be beautiful because you’d be in it.” I blushed, “Okay Dave… I guess I’ll just have to trust you.” I called the front desk to ask where the best place to go shopping for a dress would be. They gave me a list of different stores and I wrote them down, not planning to go to more then I had to. Maybe one or two. I rustled up the gang, which consisted of me, Dave and Randy, and we were on our way. When we got into the parking lot of the first store I got a huge smiel on my face and I grabbed each guys hand and dragged them into the store. “Who knows Randy… maybe you’ll find a pretty lady trying on something.” Randy laughed, “Yea right Rea. It’s not a big deal anyways… I figure if I’m single then I’ll get more hot looking women to fall for me.” I rolled my eyes, “Not with that cocky attitude you won’t ’legend killer.’” Then I turned to Dave, “You ready to help me pick some dresses out Baby?” Dave shook his head, “Yep, I’m ready and waiting hun, ready and waiting.” We picked out three dresses for me to try on. The first dress was a red floor length dress that had spaghetti straps. I thought it was too plain and when I emerged from the dressing room I could tell the guys weren’t too thrilled. “I look retarded in this. It doesn’t fit right.” Randy nodded, “You can do much better Rea… much better.” So I went back into the dressing room to try on the next dress. The second dress was a short leather skirt and a leather halter top to go with it. I rolled my eyes, “Who picked this one?” Randy laughed, “Guilty.” I looked at Dave, “I know that I look extremely hot in this… but I know that it’s not appropriate for our first date.” Dave shook his head, “That’s right… it’s too bad cuz you look damn fine… but it wouldn’t look right in the place we’re going to.” I went back into the dressing room to try on the third and final dress that we had picked from this store, it was a little black dress, it had spaghetti straps and a v neck line and some little white flowers embroidered on it on the left side of the dress. It went to mid thigh and I liked it. I walked out and both guys were just staring at me. I twirled around, “What’s the verdict? I like it, but I don’t know if I like it enough not to go to other stores to see what they have.” Dave shook his head yes, “I agree. It looks beautiful… although I think if we look somewhere else we could find something that will work better.” So I changed back into my jeans and halter top and slipped on my flip flops and then I realized something, “Guys, I’m gonna need to get shoes too.” We left and went to the mall in the town. We went into Von Maur and I found tons of dresses that I liked. I knew ’my boys’ would get tired because we would be here for a while. The first dress I tired on was a red fitted dress with one strap going across the shoulder, the strap had some beads on it. It looked really good. I went out to the ’waiting area’ and showed Randy and Dave. Dave fell in love with it, you could just tell, “Babe. This is beautiful. Wow. I don’t even know what to say.” I smiled, “I think so too. They have it in both black and blue also, but I like the red best.” Randy shook his head, “Yea. This dress is beautiful. Go try on more though. You never know, you may like a different one more.” I turned around, “Yea, but I think Dave’s in love. Who knows what he’ll think of the rest now.” I went and tried on the next dress. It was strapless. It was dark pink at the top and it faded to white at the bottom, it also had dark pink beads swirling across the top half of the dress. I walked out there, “Damn Baby… you look so hot in these dresses.” I blushed, “No… these are just really beautiful dresses. I haven’t looked at the price tags yet though.” Randy shook his head, “Nope.. It doesn’t matter how much it costs. Evolution’s paying.” I rolled my eyes, “You guys like this dress too right?” Dave smiled, “Oh Yea.” I went back to try on another dress, it was a black dress with a white strip at the top. It looked really pretty also. When I got out there the guys shook their head, “I think the other dresses were better. ESPICALLY the red one.” I rolled my eyes at Dave’s comment. “Randy?” “Yes, It’s nice and all, but the other ones you just had on were better.” I smiled at them and went back into the dressing room trying on the last dress, I figured that we would be here forever if I tried on all the one’s that I liked. The last one was light green, it had beads on the top half of the dress and it had three straps all going to one shoulder with beads on top of the straps. It also had a slit at the bottom with light green chiffon so that you could see thru it. I walked out there knowing that they would like it, I just didn’t know if they would like it as much as the red dress. “Damn Baby… you look so beautiful.” Randy smiled, I said, “Thanks Davey.” And I gave Dave a kiss on the cheek. “So… what’s the verdict?? I’m not wasting any more time. It’s either the red one, the pink one, or this one.” Dave smiled, “You know what I think. I like the red one best. You look beautiful in red, the other dress earlier was just ugly.” I turned to Randy, Randy smiled at me, “I say go with the red one or the pink one. They both looked really good on you.” “Yep.. Those are my favorites too.” Then I grabbed Dave’s bicep, “Ok… it’s your decision. You know where we’re going, so you know what I should wear.” Dave got a big smile on his face, “I take it that means the red dress?” Dave nodded. I went back into the dressing room and changed back into my clothes. “Ok gentlemen. First we buy this then it’s onto the shoe section!” Randy’s eyes got big, “How long are we gonna be there?” “Not too long why?” “We’ve been dress shopping for about an hour and a half.” “Oh… well then we’ll speed shoe shop.” With that we headed off to the shoe section, which was on the top floor. I found a nice pair of red heals as soon as we got there and they matched almost perfectly. So we got those and then we were out of there. When we got back to the car I turned to Dave, “When’s our reservation?” “It’s for 6:30. You have plenty time to get beautiful… although you don’t really need to do much.” I blushed and then shouted, “Home James!” Both Randy and Dave gave me weird looks, “Okay… To The Bat Cave!” They looked at each other worried, I sighed, “Fine! Take all the fun out of it for me! I mean MAN! All I was trying to do was tell you to go back to the hotel.” With that all three of us were laughing and we started on our way back to the hotel. --At the Hotel-- As soon as we got into the suite Ric came over, “Show me the dress.” I raised an eyebrow, “Oh really?? You want to see, but you didn’t want to help pick it out?” Ric nodded, “Of course. Just show me what it looks like on the hanger, I’ll see you in it later.” I rolled my eyes, “You got it gramps.” And I moved the plastic bag off the dress. Ric nodded, “Yea… I can see that looking stunning on you Andrea.” I looked at him shocked, “Aww… thanks Ric, that’s really sweet of you to say.” Ric laughed, “Sweet or not, it’s the truth.” And with that he sat back down to watch TV. “Where’s Paul?” “He’s off with Steph.” I nodded, “Okay… he’ll just have to wait ‘till later to see the dress then.” I went to my room and hung the dress up in the closet. I grabbed my cd’s out of my bag and walked back out into the living room. “’Kay guys, I’m gonna go outside and listen to some tunes. You know where to find me if you need me.” I started to walk out to the balcony and Randy said, “How much time are you gonna need to get ready for your date?” “I dunno, about an hour or less. Make sure that I’m back in here by then, ‘kay?” Randy nodded so I started back out to the balcony. --This is what Andrea’s Thinking… if I confuse you I‘m REALLY SORRY!-- I sat down at the table that was out there and started to think about how much my life had changed in the short months that I had worked with the WWE. When I was younger I’d always been a wrestling fan, I remember watching WWF and WCW with my dad every Saturday morning. My dad and I would watch cartoon together and then we’d watch wrestlers kick each others ass’… it’s kind of funny when you think about it. Wrestling has influenced my whole life, and considering I never met any wrestlers until after I was in college it’s kind of sad… but at the same time my life would be completely different without the WWE in it. I had two passions throughout life… well when I got older that is. I wanted to be a teacher ever since first grade, my teacher was awesome and I wanted to be just like her. I went to college at Iowa State University for 2 years before I found out that teaching isn’t all it’s cracked up to be… THAT and the requirements for teachers are actually REALLY hard. So I thought about my second passion: wrestling, the WWE to be exact. I never had the passion (or the guts) to train to be a wrestler, I was afraid I’d get my ass kicked or worse I’d injure myself while trying to become a wrestler… so basically I tried whatever I thought would get me involved in wrestling. I thought about becoming a writer for the WWE so that I could write storylines for the company, I even thought that it would be cool to be a part of WWE magazine. Then I thought it would be awesome to be a photographer for the company, I’d get to take pictures of all these hot guys, and the girls too, and it’d be awesome. I even thought about being part of the ring crew, you know the people that help put the ring up and take the ring down for EVERY event. The last one didn’t sound like too much fun so I crossed that off my list first. I was sitting at home with my dad over the summer watching RAW. My dad isn’t in to wrestling anymore… but for whatever reason he puts up with it for me (personally I think he just likes to see Trish and the other Diva’s shake their stuff, but I COULD be wrong). Back to what I was thinking… my dad, he’s the main reason that I actually work for the WWE today. He knew how much I loved the business, and he knew how much I wanted to be involved, so he helped me think of tons of ways to get into Mr. McMahon’s company. My dad owns his own company, an engineering company, so he knows how to get what he wants. He’s told me so many stories about what his employees have done that have pissed him off it’s not even funny. He puts up with a lot of shit actually, if he weren’t such a nice guy I don’t think half the people would still be working for him. SO… somehow, someway my dad found out that McMahon was looking for personal assistants. I’d never been a personal assistant in my life, I still don’t know how I got hired, I sure as hell wouldn’t have hired me… I mean think about it, the only job experience I had was working for my dad during the summers… quite pathetic. All in all I owe my dad BIG TIME… if it weren’t for him I’d probably still be sitting at home or at ISU trying to do something that gave me no passion. Then I got to thinking about my mom… Dear Old Mom. She hates wrestling, can’t understand why ANYONE would watch the stuff. She thinks it’s way too violent, although I’ve tried to clue her in many times she just won’t change her mind. Although my mom hates wrestling she knows how much I love it and how much I love my job so she supports my decisions about my life. My sister however… she could give a shit. She’s at that age where if it doesn’t involve her she really doesn’t care to know about it. She’s 17 years old… and probably the biggest bitch I know. I realize it’s bad to think your own sister’s a huge bitch… but that’s the case here. I try my hardest to be nice when I’m around her but it just doesn’t work. The only reason that she ever talks to me is to get something from me or out of me. She doesn’t give a whit about me… BUT she thinks my job’s awesome. All the hot guys… of course she likes it, she would have to be pretty drugged up not to like it. --Back to reality-- Randy broke me from my thoughts when he came out onto the balcony, “Rea… you’ve been out here for a long time hun. You’ve got just a little over an hour before you’re supposed to leave with Dave.” I got up and gave him a kiss on the cheek, “Thanks Orton. You can be a sweetie sometimes… not usually… but sometimes.” I had a big grin on my face when I said the last part and Randy knew that I was joking. I went back inside to go take a shower so that I could start to get ready. After I got out of the shower I dried my hair. Then I started to fix my hair, I left half of it down and the top half I put up and curled the ponytail part. Then I also curled the ends of my hair. After that I started the makeup. I decided to just go with neutral colors. So I put on beige eye shadow, black eyeliner and black mascara. I put on some clear lip gloss and I was all done. I went back into my room and put on my dress. Then I grabbed my shoes and went into the living room. I sat down on the couch and turned to Paul who was sitting on the couch next to me, “Where’s Dave?” “Oh… he’ll be right back. He just had to put something in his rental.” I looked questioningly at Paul. Ric and Randy came into the room, “WOOO!! Look who’s looking fine!” I shook my head, “You big goon!” Ric just laughed, Randy smirked, “Oh whatever Rea… you know you’re a knock out… I mean, Dave’s taking you out, you’ve got to be hot.” I just glared at him, “Thanks… so that mean’s Dave doesn’t go out with ugly chicks?” Randy shook his head, “Not what I meant… and you’re not ugly.” I just looked at Randy skeptically, “Rea… you really ARE beautiful. Why don’t you think so?” I just looked up at Randy, “I don’t know. I just don’t think of myself that way.” Paul shook his head, “You should. You really are a beaut hun.” I just gave Paul and Randy a kiss on the cheek, “You guys are the sweetest.” Ric looked offended, “Where’s my smooch?” I rolled my eyes and gave Ric a kiss on the cheek too. Just then Dave came back into the room. “Flair… what are you doing? Trying to steal my date?” Ric smiled, “Yea, you know I can’t resist a beautiful woman.” I blushed and looked down at my feet. Dave walked over to me, “Are you ready to go yet Babe?” I looked up at him, “Yes I am. Where are we going anyway?” Dave just smiled, “Can’t wait any longer?” I rolled my eyes, “I guess I can… if it really means that much to you.” He smiled, “You look beautiful, like always.” I blushed, “Thanks. You look very sexy in this suit by the way.” Dave was wearing a pair of black dress pants and a black suit jacket with a white dress shirt on underneath the jacket. We just stood there and stared at each other for a while. Eventually we left for our dinner reservation. When Dave pulled into the restaurant I had a big smile on my face, “Did you know how much I love the Olive Garden?” Dave shook his head no, “I actually just knew that you liked Italian food so I figured that you would like the Olive Garden.” I smiled at Dave and he parked and got out to open my door for me. Did I mention how much of a gentleman Dave was?? If I hadn’t, I just did now didn’t I. We ate dinner at the Olive Garden and then after dinner we got back in Dave’s rental car, I had no idea where we were going, no idea at all. Dave drove us to the city park, where he helped me out of the car and then sat me down on the porch swing. He went back to his car and grabbed a cd player and a cd from the back seat of his rental. Dave put the cd in the cd player and it was a slow song, he sat down beside me and asked if I wanted to dance, I said yes so we started to dance. The entire cd was slow songs and we danced for quite a long time. There were times that we chatted while dancing and there were also times that we were quite and just enjoyed dancing in the park at night. It was one of the most romantic dates I’ve ever been on, and I enjoyed it more then I would have had we done anything else. We went back to the hotel and changed into comphy clothes. I changed into some light gray sweat pants and my Evolution t-shirt that was WAY too big, but hell… it was comfortable to sleep in. Then I brushed my teeth, washed my face and took my hair down, brushed it and then put it up in a bun so it was out of my face. When I got back into the main room of the suite Dave was already out there watching tv. Dave had changed into some track pants and he wasn’t wearing a shirt, which I didn’t mind at all. I sat next to Dave and he grabbed my waist and pulled me onto his lap. I got a big smile on my face and gave him a quick peck on the cheek and grabbed the remote from him. I got an evil look on my face and changed the station to CMT, country music television in case you didn’t know. Dave just shot me a look that said ‘what the hell is this shit?’ I just had a big smile on my face and cuddled up to his chest. The video ‘Chicks Dig It’ came on by Chris Cagle and I averted all my attention to the tv. Dave just looked from me to the tv and then asked, “He’s my competition, huh?” I smiled, “Oh yea baby. Cagle is hot… but a lot of the country singers are hot, so you better watch out.” Then the video for ‘Hot Mama’ by Trace Adkins came on. Needless to say Dave stopped watching me and stared at the tv. I just shook my head, “Just wait ’til the bedroom scene buddy. You’re eyes’ll be buggin out of your head.” When it got to the bedroom scene Dave’s eyes widened, “Damn.” I just shook my head, “Are you jealous of Trace Adkins now?” Dave nodded, “She’s a vixen… who wouldn’t want to be him?” I smirked, Dave just made a reference to a Keith Urban song and didn’t even know it. Dave sighed, “Who knew country videos would be so entertaining?” I smiled up at him, “I did Babe… I did.” Then it went to commercial so I gave Dave back the remote. He changed it to some movie. Then he moved me so that I was sitting next to him and he just looked into my eyes. “You’ve got the prettiest green eyes.” My smile got even bigger, if you can believe it. “Hell, who am I kidding, you’ve got the prettiest EVERYTHING.” I rolled my eyes, “Oh yea… that’s why I should be in the next Diva magazine.” “You could be if you wanted… although I don’t know if I’d want you to.” I just shot him a questioned look, “Then I’d have to share you with everyone else. Ad I’m not one for sharing, ESPICALLY when it comes to beautiful women.” I just rolled my eyes and blushed at his beautiful comment. Dave shook his head, “Why do you roll your eyes when anyone mentions your beauty?” I looked Dave straight in the face, “Because I don’t think of myself as a beauty… or at least not as beautiful as you keep telling me I am.” Dave shook his head in disbelief, “What’s it gonna take to get you to think of yourself as drop dead gorgeous?” I raised my eyebrow, “Drop dead gorgeous, huh?” Dave shook his head yes, “I don’t know… but I know you’ll think of SOMETHING.” And with that I pulled Dave’s head towards mine for a soul searching kiss. Apparently Dave wasn’t comfortable in the position we were in because the next thing I knew I saw straddling Dave’s waist. Dave must be quite talented… because he never broke the kiss. We just kept kissing, god how I loved Dave’s lips. Dave bit my lower lip and I took that as questioning for entrance, which I accepted. All the while Dave’s hands had stayed on my waist but now they were starting to move, one was moving down, while the other was moving up. His right hand eventually cupped my left cheek, butt cheek that is. And his left hand was at the middle of my back tracing patterns in it. I moved my arms from around his neck, but not by much. My left hand moved down to his back, where it explored all the expansive muscle and my right arm went to his buzzed hair, I love to play with a mans hair… even when he doesn’t have much to play with. Dave broke the kiss and moved his lips to the nape of my neck, where he began to lick and suck. I moved my legs from on either side of Dave’s legs to around his waist. When I moved my legs Dave groaned, “Rea. Baby, you have no idea what you do to me.” I smirked, “On the contrary… I know exactly what I’m doing to you.” And then I ground my pelvis against his. Dave groaned again, and then he moved us into a different position on the couch. I was laying on the couch and he was on top of me. He was bracing his weight with his legs as to not crush me, because lets face it Dave’s huge. After awhile Dave’s hand went up my huge shirt and it cupped my breast. I moaned my appreciation into his mouth… and then the door opened. Dave and I stopped in our tracks and we both turned our heads towards the door. Standing there with their eyes bugging out of their heads were the other members of Evolution. I was mortified, I mean think of it my way… you’re making out and then your bosses come in… never mind the fact that your making out with one of them, but still… it sucked. And to top it off, Dave’s hand was still up my shirt. My face was so red I probably looked like a tomato. I just buried my head in Dave’s huge neck. Finally after they got thru the shock Ric, Randy and Paul burst out laughing. I just glared at them, then I moved Dave’s hand out from under my shirt. I figured why add any more humiliation to their ridicule. I already knew Dave and I would never live this down, I can hear it now… the constant jokes, the muffled laughter every time they see me… God, why did this have to happen? I just stared at the guys waiting for one of them so say SOMETHING. I was not left waiting for very long though. “WOOO! I think we interrupted these two.” I just glared at Ric, “Oh no… how could you possibly get THAT idea??” Randy smirked, and god did I want to smack that smirk off his face, “Oh Rea… are you embarrassed?” I just flipped Randy off. Dave just shook his head, “Guys, do you think you could drop this?” Paul looked at Ric and Randy, “Should we drop this?” He waited about 5 seconds, “Nah… I don’t think so.” With that I just wrapped my arms around Dave’s neck and just stared at him for a while, knowing that the three stooges wouldn’t leave for a while. Dave smiled, “Think we should go to the bedroom?” I just looked down at our bodies, he was still laying on top of me, “Yes. Let’s get out of here big guy.” Dave got up off the couch and then lifted me off the couch and carried me to his room, “Guys… you can go ahead and watch some tv now. We won’t bother you anymore.” And with that Dave shut his bedroom door. Ric shook his head, “I’m surprised. I didn’t think our Rea was like that… I KNEW Dave was like that, but Andrea surprised me.” Randy laughed, “I’m not surprised. Dave’s a stud. Hell, he even had his hand up her shirt.” Paul shook his head, “I’m with Ric on this one. I never thought Rea was like that. It’s those quite ones that you’ve got to worry about though.” Randy got one of his smirks on his face again, “I wonder if Rea has any friends? Maybe a feisty one?” Paul laughed, “Why don’t you go in there and ask her right now.” Randy got up and went into Dave’s room. Luckily Dave and I hadn’t been doing anything. We were just cuddling. Randy barges in, “Rea…” “What Orton?” “Do you have any feisty friends you could hook me up with?” I laughed, “Feisty, eh?” “Well, they don’t have to be feisty. But do you have and gorgeous single friends?” I laughed, “Gorgeous AND Single? Hmmm… I’ll think about it and tell you tomorrow. I know I have a few single friends, but I’ll have to think it over.” Randy looked at me funny, “Think it over?” I smiled sweetly, “Well yea. I have to think if they’d like a cocky son of a bitch for a date. Then I have to think of if you’d like any of them. Actually I have a scrap book with pictures of all my close friends. I’ll show you it tomorrow.” Randy nodded, “Okay. I’ll let you to be now.” When Randy got to the door he turned towards us, “You’re a cuddler Dave?” Dave smiled, “If Rea wants a cuddler I’ll cuddle damn it!” Randy was laughing while exiting the room. When he left the room Paul and Ric were sitting there waiting. Ric smiled, “So… did Dave get laid?” Randy shook his head, “You wouldn’t believe it. They were sitting there cuddling. It made me wanna puke dude.” Paul laughed, “You think I don’t cuddle with Steph? She likes cuddling so I cuddle.” Randy shook his head in disgust, “I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Ric… do you cuddle?” Ric laughed, “No… but with my ex-wives I did. Kid… When you get a woman that wants a cuddler, you have no choice but to cuddle with her.” With that said the rest of Evolution went to bed. --The Next Morning-- I woke up in Dave’s arms. I stretched and turned around to face Dave, only to find out that he was already awake and staring at me. Although it was a little creepy at first, after that thought passes it felt wonderful being in his arms. Dave smiled at me, “I say Evolution only gets four rooms from now on. You can sleep in my room with me.” I smirked at him, “No… you can sleep in MY room with me. I deserve to have my own room, I’ll just share it with you.” Then I giggled. Dave shook his head, “I love that sound.” “What sound?” “The sound of you giggling. It’s music to my ears.” I smiled and snuggled closer into Dave’s chest. Eventually we got out of bed. I took a shower and got ready for the day ahead. When I was done Dave took a shower and I went into the living room to talk to the guys. Randy looked at me expectantly. I looked at him oddly, “What?” Randy looked at me like I was stupid, “Don’t tell me you already forgot.” I looked at him weird, “Obviously I did, what did I forget?” Randy rolled his eyes, “You were gonna think of any friends that were available, show me a scrap book, something like that.” Then it dawned on me, “Oh… that. Sorry I forgot all about that.” Paul laughed, “I bet Dave had something to do with your memory loss.” I stuck my tongue out at him, “Oh shut up you! You’re no better after you’ve been with Steph. Speaking of… when’s the next time she’s stopping by?” “She had to go to Connecticut for business… she’ll call thought if you REALLY need to talk to her.” I smiled, “Nope. I was just curious. Come on Randy. Lets find you a lady.” “I like the sound of that.” Randy and I went to my room and found my scrap book. “Why do you bring this with you anyways?” I rolled my eyes, “Well, besides the whole finding guys chicks… It just makes me remember all the good times I had with my friends.” We started to flip thru my scrap book. We came to some pictures of me and Kay and tears started to well up in my eyes. Randy noticed and he put his arms around me, “Everything’s ok Rea. I know you miss Kay but she’s better where she’s in no more pain.” A sob racked my body, “I know. But it’s still so hard for me to grasp. Kay’s gone. I miss her so much.” Randy shut the scrap book, “Ok honey. Lets go get you some water.” And he helped me go into the ’kitchen’ and got me a glass of water. Ric and Paul were still in there and suffice it to say they were both shocked to see me crying. Paul got up, “What happened sweet pea?” I looked up at him, “I saw pictures… of… me and… Kay.” Paul shook his head, “Poor thing. Come here. Trips will fix everything.” Paul sat down and I sat on his lap and wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug. “I’ll be… okay.” Paul rubbed my back, “I know you will. You just need to get over the shock of your loss sweet pea.” Eventually I started to calm down. I backed away from Paul’s shoulder, which I had been crying on. “I got you all wet.” Paul just looked at me, “Oh no… I’m melting. I’m melting.” I laughed, “You big nerd.” Paul just shook his head, “I know. But I’m just glad you’re okay.” Dave came out of his room, “What’s going on?” I looked over at him, “Everything’s fine.” He raised his eyebrow, “Are you sure Rea?” I smiled, “Yea. I just had a breakdown and these knuckle heads helped me, that’s all.” Dave rushed over to me, “A breakdown? About what?” I pulled away from Paul and put my hand on Dave’s cheek reassuringly. “Well babe… Randy and I were looking thru my scrap book. And I found some pictures of me and Kay. Needless to say I freaked, started bawling, you know the drill. Randy and Paul helped me though it. I’m okay now.” Dave just looked at me worried, “Are you sure. Is there anything I can do for you baby?” I smile dup at him, “Yes, actually there is. Just be there for me, because I know I’m not completely over Kay’s death.” Dave nodded, “You got it babe.” I put my arms around Dave’s neck and kissed him. --The Next Day-- I was laying down in my bed watching tv. ‘Ever After’ with Drew Barrymore was on and I love that movie so I was really into it. During a commercial my cell phone rang, which is rather unusual, but I looked at the display and it said Sarah Elizabeth so I smiled. “Hey You!!” “ASS? how have you been?” I sighed, “Okay I guess, my week has been both ups and downs. You know it’s bad when the ASS crack (joke) doesn’t even bring a smile to my face. How have you been SEV?” “I’ve been good, but I heard about what happened to Kay. Are you gonna be okay?” I tried to think of how she could know Kay died, but came up empty. “Wait a sec… how’d you know Kay died?” Sarah sighed, “Well… since SOMEONE, who will remain nameless, didn’t call me and tell me herself and had a few breakdowns… her BOYFRIEND called her mom who in turn told him to call her cousin. Need a translation?? Dave called me. What I wanna know is why YOU didn’t call me. And I also want to know who this Dave fellow is, so you better start talking.” A tear went down my cheek, “I’m sorry SarahBeth… with all that’s been going on I just plum forgot. I know I should have called my bestest friend in the whole wide world… but I didn’t really think, I just freaked instead. Can you forgive me Sarah?” Sarah smiled, “I GUESS I can forgive you… just don’t do it again. I don’t like finding out my cuzzer needs me from someone other then my cuzzer.” Sarah and I talked for a while about a half hour into our conversation Sarah said, “I think you need a visitor Andrea Sage Steffen. And I know just the person to come visit you! ME!!” I laughed, “Okay. I won’t argue. I haven’t seen you in a while. What ARE you doing for a job anyways?” Sarah laughed, “You silly goose. I’m a designer, I design clothes silly.” “OOOooo… does that mean you’ll make me some cool duds?” Sarah laughed, “I’ll make a deal with you. You find me a man… and I’ll make you some clothes. Okay??” Then a light bulb went off in my head. I had a few ideas of who to hook SEV up with. Oh… you might be wondering who Sarah is hmmm? Well she’s my cousin, and if any of you could understand any of what was said between Sarah and I you may have already figured that out. Sarah’s my mom’s brother’s daughter… My Uncle Ted, he’s one of my favorite uncles. My mom is one of 13 and my dad is one of 3. I have two cousins that are the same age as I am (give or take a few months) Sarah and Amy. I don’t really talk to Amy that much, but Sarah’s a whole other story. We talk to each other all the time. She’s my rock, which is why I think she was really confused when I didn’t call her about Kay’s death. Sarah’s birthday is November 17th and my birthday is April 20th, so she’s 5 months older than I am. She’s got long light brown hair with natural blonde highlights. She has brown eyes. She’s 5’9, I would tell you her weight but I don’t know it. She’s got a really large rack… which she hates, but there’s only so much a 24 year old can do about that. All those things don’t really matter though. She’s awesome, the best friend a person could ever ask for. She’s usually in a really chipper/hyper mood whenever she’s with me (as am I when I’m around her) but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a mean streak… because you don’t want to mess with Sarah Elizabeth Vanders when she’s mad. --Later that Day-- I finally took my nap after I got off the phone with Sarah, talking to her finally calmed me down enough to sleep. Plus Sarah’s voice is really soothing, so I’m not at all surprised. I went out into the living room to see what the guys were up to. Ric saw me come out, “Did your nap make you feel any better?” I smiled a little, “I guess. OH!! Guess who called me?” Paul laughed, “Hyper much?” I stuck my tongue out at Paul, “Shud up! SEV called me!” The guys all looked at me like ‘who?’ I shook my head, “I know I’ve talked about her before. She’s my bestest friend in the whole wide world, Sarah.” Dave smiled, “She told me she was gonna call you. What did you two talk about?” I smiled, “Well… we talked about Kay, and our cousins, and our sisters. We talked about our jobs… and how much mine sucks.” Then I smiled, “Kidding. I love this job. You’re my boys, what’s not to like?” The guys laughed. “We talked about how she wants me to hook her up, and about all the hot guys I see every day.” When I said that I sat down in the chair with Randy. “We also talked about how hot my boyfriend is, and how much she wants to meet him… so she can approve or disapprove, of course.” Paul laughed, “She wants to meet Dave, huh?” I smiled sweetly at Dave, “Oh yea… she wants to see if she can make you sweat. Basically she just wants to know everything about you, why you like me, things like that.” Dave looked at me questioningly, “Don’t worry babe, she’s not gonna hurt you. To tell you the truth I think she already likes you cuz you called her and told her I needed her.” Randy laughed, “Then I guess it’s a good thing it’ll be a while before Dave has to meet her.” I laughed at Randy, “A while?? HA!! She’s coming to see me in two days. Boys, you’re gonna see a whole ‘nother side of me. Just to warn you… I get REALLY giddy and hyper when I’m around my SarahBeth. It’s crazy. My sister actually hates it when we see each other. I think it scares her to tell you the truth.” Ric laughed, “Okay. We’ve been warned. Now do you have any pictures of you and Sarah you could show us?” I thought about it, “Um… not that I know of. I can call her and tell her to bring the scrapbook I made for her awhile ago for her birthday. Yea… I’ll definetly tell her to bring that… oh and some of those pictures may scare you. Sarah and I tend to make weird faces and poses when a camera’s around.” We were backstage at a house show. Although there really wasn’t much for me to do. Randy and Dave were the only members of Evolution at this house show with me, but for whatever reason they ‘needed me’ which I think is a bunch of bull… they just don’t want to have to get their own bottled water and stupid shit like that, lazy asses. Dave had already had his match, it was against the Hurricane (Shane Helms), I think Dave was out of the locker room for about 4 minutes or less. I kinda felt bad for the little dude (Shane that is) because look who he’s up against, Big Bad Batista, it’s only a matter of time before Dave gets the win. Randy’s match was later that night, and Dave was set to go out there with Randy. It’d been half an hour and I had done a total of 3 things, made sure the matches were going as scheduled, gotten the guys water, and gotten their scripts for the next weeks to come. We’d been bull shitting in the locker room when there’s a knock at the door. Dave gets up to answer it, “Hey… Who are you?” “You must be Dave. It’s great to finally meet you! Where’s ASS??” Dave looks at the woman oddly, “Ass?” When I hear that my eyes bulge out of my head, “SARAH ELIZABETH VANDERS! YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT IN FRONT OF THESE TWO!!?? Please, God… tell me you did NOT just say that. Just lie to me SEV, say you didn’t say THAT nickname!” Sarah’s eyes got big, “Umm… okay? I didn’t say it. Are you okay Andy?” I rolled my eyes, “Oh yea. Just peachy. I’d be wonderful if you wouldn’t have called me ASS in front of these two, they’ll never let me live it down.” I sighed, “Oh well, not anything I can do about it now. Come here and give a hug damn it!” I got up and Sarah came in the door and we squealed and gave each other a huge hug. Dave and Randy looked at each other and Randy had that stupid smirk on his face, yet again. When we finally stopped hugging I turned to the guys. “Guys, this is my cousin Sarah Vanders, SEV this is Randy Orton, and THIS is Dave Batista, my boyfriend.” Sarah laughed, “I see you have pretty good taste. How long have ya’ll been going out?” Randy rolled his eyes, “Three or four days. But they’ve wanted each other for quite some time. Ever since Dave got back from injury, right Rea?” I looked at Randy with wide eyes, “Why did you just tell him that?” Randy smiled innocently, “It’s not that big of a deal. Dave here had the hots for ya ever since he first saw you, which would have been at one of Ric’s parties a long time ago.” I smiled, “Oh. In that case I’m alright with it. But next time don’t tell him things like that Orton!” Randy shrugged, “Eh… what ya gonna do? Sick some wrestler on me? HA!” Sarah got an evil gleam in her eye, “No… she won’t sick a wrestler on you. I’ll come after you myself. Although I don’t think I would mind torturing you at all… so Andy… do I get permission to torture him?? Do I?” I looked at Sarah oddly, “Um… I don’t really have a problem with it, but you should probably get Randy’s permission. After all he hasn’t done anything to me yet… and I think he may just like a little torture, especially from you.” Sarah laughed, “I was kidding. Really, I don’t torture people anymore. I found that attracted too many freaks. That and it got kind of old after a while. I’d rather be sweet and innocent.” I laughed, “HA! YOU sweet and innocent?? Don’t make me laugh. Oh wait… I already did, never mind then.” Randy and Dave looked kind of scared, “We were kidding around boys. I thought I warned you about me and Sarah. Actually I KNOW I warned you.” Dave shook his head, “Yea. You did. It’s just, you’re so different. Not really bad different, I can’t really explain it. It’s just weird. I’ll get used to it eventually.” I walked over to Dave and kissed his cheek, “You’re gonna put up with me, eh?” Dave smiled, “Of course, who wouldn’t want to put up with a beautiful woman?” I smiled, “There are a lot of people that I don’t think would want to put up with me actually.” Dave shook his head, “Those people are pretty stupid then. If anyone tries anything with you let me know… I’ll rip them limb from limb.” Sarah sighed, “Aww… that’s so cute. I wish I had a man that would do that for me.” I just smiled at her, “Eventually we’ll get you a guy. We just have to find one worth wile… it’s too bad we’re not on SmackDown!… they have Brock Leasnar, John Cena *pause* I’m drawing a blanc… okay so maybe smackdown doesn’t have THAT many hot guys.” Sarah laughed, “See now IF I watched wrestling I would know who the hell you were talking about. But I don’t so I have no clue who those guys are.” The guys looked shocked, I rolled my eyes, “Yea… I think it’s retarded. She’s turned down RAW tickets before. I mean WHO does that???” Sarah sighed, “OH SHUT UP! If I woulda known you’d never let me live it down I never woulda told you.” I continued, “I mean, I can understand if it were a house show… and it’s not like you only turned down the guy once… you turned him down twice. TWICE! You coulda seen all these hot guys TWICE and you didn’t!” Sarah rolled her eyes, “You just said SmackDown had hotter guys… who’s hot on THIS brand?” I laughed, “Well there’s a lot… but some of ‘em are married, so I won’t include those guys.” I thought about it, “There’s Rene Dupree, Mark Jindrak, Matt Hardy but he’s got Amy, so never mind, Maven but he’s injured, Sylvan Grenier, Shane Helms if you don’t mind green hair. Am I forgetting anybody boys??” Dave laughed, “Randy? Did she forget anybody??” Randy just looked at me, “I think we’ve talked about this Rea… I’m single.” I smiled at Randy, “Yea, I know… but I said the hot guys… not the single guys.” Randy raised an eyebrow, “I’m not hot?” I smirked, “Nope, you‘re not hot. You’re fuckin’ sexy. Not as sexy as Shawn or Dave but still.” Sarah rolled her eyes, “You STILL like Shawn Michaels? GOD that’s pathetic!” I stuck my tongue out at her, “So What… you like Nick Carter. I don’t give you shit about that, do I?? No, I just live with the constant talk about the boy.” Sarah shook her head, “I haven’t talked about Carter in a while, so shud up.” Randy laughed, “You two talk alike. You say the same phrases.” Dave nodded, “Yep, I noticed that too. It’s really gonna annoy Ric and Paul.” Sarah got that evil glint in her eye again, “I’m gonna annoy someone?? YES!” I laughed, “Yea. It’s tons of fun annoying these big burly men. I do it ALL the time! --The Next Day-- Paul and Ric were scheduled to fly back today. They had went home, Ric to be with his kids ad Paul to be with Stephanie. When they got back Sarah was in the kitchen making lunch and since neither one of them had met Sarah they had no clue who she was. Ric and Paul looked at each other, “Hun… what are you doing in our hotel room?” Sarah turned around startled, “OH HI! You must be Ric and Paul, the ever so likeable Nature Boy and The Game. ASS has told me so much about you two.” I had walked into the room before to make introductions, “SARAH ELIZABETH!! You just did it again!” Sarah winced, “Oops. Sorry.” Ric turned to me, “Ass?” I rolled my eyes, “That stands for my initials, Andrea Sage Steffen. Go ahead, laugh, crack jokes, be dicks about it. I’ve been made fun of ever since Jr. High because my parents… they’re stupid.” Paul smiled, “Why did they name you Andrea Sage?” I rolled my eyes, “The excuse they always gave me… “We never though about it like that Andy, we didn’t mean to.” After years of that excuse it pissed me off.” Ric backed away, “Okay then. I take it this lovely lady is Sarah?” I smiled, “Yes. Boys, this is Sarah Vanders, SEV… this is Ric Fliar and Paul Levesque. The ’leaders’ of Evolution.” Sarah smiled, “It’s great to finally meet you.” And she gave them each a hug. Paul looked at me oddly, “Sarah’s a hug person. You’ll get used to it.” Dave came up behind me and put his arms around my waist, “Yea, you should see the way these two hugged when they first saw each other. I thought they were gonna suffocate.” Randy came into the room, “Yea. They were squeezing the life out of each other.” I looked over at Randy and smirked at him, “Oh… you’re just jealous because I don’t hug YOU like that.” Randy laughed, “Okay… Keep thinking that Rea. And besides you don’t hug ANYONE else like that either. Not even Dave here.” I rolled my eyes, “Yea, that’s true I don’t hug Dave like that. BUT… I do other things with Dave that I don’t do with anyone else, thank you very much!” Dave laughed, “What are you cooking Sarah?” Sarah smiled at Dave knowing the only reason he asked that was to change the subject, “It’s tortellini. With pasta sauce if you want to put any on it. I was also planning on making salads for who ever wanted one.” I made a face, “Ewww… salad, yuck.” Paul laughed, “Not a salad eater, huh?” I shook my head, “No… my sister loves salads but I can’t stand them. I think I ate them way too much when I was little.” Sarah rolled her eyes, “I know Andy. That’s why I said for whoever wants one, cuz I KNOW you won’t want one.” I stuck my tongue out at her, “You’re just SO smart, aren’t you?” Sarah laughed, “Why yes, yes I am.” We ate lunch and afterwards the guys went to the gym to work out. Ric smiled at me sweetly before they left, “You know we’d normally take you with us right?” I nodded, “Yes… but you won’t because I have company right??” Paul nodded, “We’ll let you two hang out and talk about us. Unless Sarah wants to come to the gym with us too that is.” Sarah smiled, “Maybe next time. I think Andy and I have TONS to catch up on. Last night just wasn’t enough.” The guys understood and left, “Rea… we should be back in two hours, okay?” “Okay guys. Have fun pumpin’ iron.” As soon as the guys left Sarah pulled me onto the couch, “I want ALL the juicy details! How you got to work with all these hunks. You know the drill, tell me EVERYTHING!” I smiled, “Well, it all started when I was at home over the summer talking to my dad…” And I went on to tell Sarah the WHOLE story. After I was done I asked Sarah the ever important question, “Okay. SEV, I’ve gotta know. Do you like any o the guys that you’ve met so far??” Sarah smiled at me, “Well, there IS one man that stands out.” “TELL ME ALREADY!” Sarah laughed, “Well, you’re gonna think I’m stupid, but it’s Randy.” When Sarah said that my eyes lit up and I got a HUGE smile on my face, “Actually, I don’t think you’re stupid at all. I think you two would be great together. What all do you like about him?” Sarah smiled, “Well, he’s really sweet, and nice. I dunno. He’s just… well… I can’t really describe it. Plus, he’s not bad lookin’ on the eyes either. The boy is DAMN FINE!” I smiled, “Just wait until you see him in his wrestling gear, he’s even more to die for then… not that I’m looking or anything, but you can’t help but stare. Of course… he is no Dave.” Sarah laughed, “Yea, he’s pretty damn fine too. How’d you get him?” “I’m just lucky I guess.” I was really excited, RAW was heading to Omaha. Omaha is only half an hour from where I grew up. My parents live in Council Bluffs, IA. My dad lives in the house we grew up in and my mom lives in a relatively new house about 5 minutes away from dad. If I failed to mention it before my parents are divorced, have been for years. My sister Ashley lives with mom, she’s only 17 and I could do without visiting her but I’m sure I’ll have to see her sometime during my visit. “So guys, I have a proposition for you all. Omaha, two nights away… my parents live half an hour from the big O so I was wondering if you’d like to stay at either one of their homes.” Sarah’s eyes got big, “You’re visiting your mom and dad? That means you’ll have to deal with Ash, are you prepared to deal with the bitch?” Dave looked at me surprised, “Your sister is really that bad?” I nodded, “Sad to admit, but yea. She’s horrible. The only reason she’ll want to see me is to meet you guys. But enough about her. What do ya say? Stay at my mom’s and I’ll have her cook a great meal, stay at my dad’s and he’ll cook awesome steaks, OR… we could stay at both and have dinner at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house and the food is GUARENTEED to be awesome.” When I said that last part I noticed all their eyes light up, “Grandma’s home cooking it is. I’ll call them and get information. I know at my dad’s there are two beds and a hide a bed, and at my mom’s there’s one bed plus my bed, so if we split up it’ll work fine. Dave and I will sleep in my bed, someone can have the guest room. At my dad’s someone can sleep on my bed, someone can sleep on Ash’s bed and someone can have the hide abed. But we can figure that out later.” I called my mom and dad first to see if they would mind having the guys sleep in their houses, when they had no problem with it I called my grandma. “Hi Grandma, it’s Andrea.” “Hi sweetie! How are you?” I smiled, “I’m good Grandma. I actually have a question for you. Monday what are your dinner plans?” “We don’t have any, why?” “Well, I’ll be in town and I was wondering if you would mind having dinner with the people I work with.” Grandma smiled, “We’d love to. What would you like me to cook honey?” I thought about it, “Anything will do. I’m bringing 4 men with me and 1 other woman. The guys are all wrestlers so I’m sure they’d love ANY of your cooking.” “Okay, I’ll think of something, so there will be 8 total?” “Yes, including you and Grandpa, 8. Dave’s going to be there, he’s my boyfriend. I’m sure you’ll love him.” Grandma smiled, “OH… your boyfriend, hmm? I’m sure your Grandpa and I will get along great with him, after all if you get along with him then I know we will.” “Well Grandma, I should probably go. I’ll see you Monday night. OH… can we eat early? The guys have to be at the Quest center by 6:30.” “Sure honey, how about we eat at 4, is that enough time?” “That’s plenty of time Grandma, and thank you very much. I love you, tell Grandpa I love him too.” “We both love you very much Andrea. I’ll see you Monday night.” I hung up the phone, “Okay. Everyone agreed to it. I just realized that my dad’s hide abed is VERY un comfortable though, so It would probably be better for whomever has to sleep on that to sleep on the two air mattresses that my dad has.” --Later that Night-- Ric and I were sitting in the living room and chatting about my family. “You’re parents are divorced?” I smiled, “Yep. They have been ever since I was a senior in high school. It wasn’t really that surprising to me, because they separated about 4 times before they actually got the divorce, but it was really hard on my sister.” “I take it that is part of the reason why she’s a bitch to everyone?” I laughed, “Yea, I guess. She took it hard because she never really thought they would get separated, but when they did it tore her apart. Then a year after the divorce was final our mom started dating. Ash hates her boyfriend, I think he’s nice and all, but Ash can’t stand him. She also hates the girls that our dad’s gone out with. But dad is more of a pimp so he never really had a girlfriend for too long. When he did have a girlfriend he still went out by himself sometimes and had a good time without her. Personally I don’t think my dad likes to commit, which is sort of understandable, he shouldn’t have to.” Ric nodded, “I take it you’ve told Dave all of this stuff? It won’t be a surprise to him when he meets them will it?” I laughed, “Nope. I told Dave all about my stupid family issues. He’s talked to my dad before. It was kind of an accident, he answered my cell, but my dad was pretty cool about it.” Ric shook his head and sighed, “Too bad. I was hoping someone could put Batista in his place.” I rolled my eyes, “Nope. Dad has no problem with Randy, Dave or Paul… but he doesn’t like you.” Ric laughed, “Really, he doesn’t like the Nature Boy? I’m shocked.” I rolled my eyes, “You shouldn’t be too shocked. You make a very good heel, my dad has NEVER liked you. He wasn’t too thrilled when he heard that I’d be working with you, but I told him you’re nothing like your character so I think he’s okay with it now. Plus Dave would kick your ass if I asked him too.” Then I smiled sweetly at Ric. Ric shook his head, “Why if I didn’t know you I’d think that you didn’t like me Rea.” I raised and eyebrow, “Who says I do like you?” Then I laughed. --Sunday Night February 22nd 2004-- We were getting off the plane at the Omaha Eppley Airport (that really is the name of the airport *grin*). “Now Boys… You need to behave. I don’t want you to scare my family, I haven’t seen them in a while.” The guys rolled their eyes, “Yes Ma’am.” I laughed, “Okay. You see ’em anywhere Sarah?” “Nope, do you?” “There they are!” And I ran to my dad and gave him a huge hug, then I turned to my mom and gave her a huge hug too, then Ash and gave her a hug too. I smiled brightly and Randy cleared his throat. I laughed, “Oh yea. Mom, Dad, Ash… this is Randy Orton, Paul Levesque, Ric Flair, and THIS is Dave Batista.” Dad smiled, “Hi guys. Call me Doug. It’s great to meet you Dave, I’ve heard nothing but great things.” I smiled and Dad and Dave shook hands. My mom spoke up then, “Hi. I’m Sue, Andrea’s mom. I’m sure you will love the dinner we have arranged tonight.” I laughed, “We have dinner plans? Together, ALL of us?” Ash nodded, “Yep, both Mom AND Dad. No Mike or Brenda though. Just the 9 of us. It should be interesting to say the least.” I nodded, “Yep. Definetly interesting. Lets go get our bags Boys.” We grabbed our baggage from the luggage belts and then we hopped into my parents cars and headed off to my mom’s house so we could relax and then get ready for dinner later that night. When we got there I gave the guys a tour of the house. When I showed them my room their eyes all got big, “Yellow?” I smiled, “Yep. I like Yellow, besides the color went with my sheets.” Ric walked over to my bed and pulled the comforter off, “Chips Ahoy?” I rolled my eyes, “Yea. Now shut up! I happen to LIKE my blue Chips Ahoy Cookie sheets.” Sarah looked on the walls, “You haven’t changed much since I was here last. Still tons of pictures. Who’s in the CD player?” I shrugged, “I couldn’t tell ya, lets find out if there’s anything in there.” I turned it on and “What A Beautiful Day” came on. Sarah raised an eyebrow, “Country?” “Yep. Chris Cagle. He’s so hot… AND boy can he sing.” Randy laughed, “Dave, looks like you’ve got some competition buddy.” I rolled my eyes, “OH yea. I mean… if I EVER met Chris Cagle I would just rip my clothes off and just do him in the middle of the floor.” Everyone’s eyes about bugged out of their head, “You don’t seriously think I would do that, do you?” No one said anything, “GOOD GOD! YOU DO!” Sarah laughed, “Well, I wouldn’t be surprised.” “Man you guys. I’m not a slut or anything. The weirdest I get would be doing Batista in the middle of the ring.” The guys all stared at me and I laughed. “See guys… that was me being sarcastic again. I would NEVER EVVVVER do that. That’s just freaky.” Dave put his arms around me, “Why’s that freaky?” I smiled, “Well, for starters I wouldn’t want an audience. And another thing, that Batista fellow… he’s kind of scary.” Sarah laughed. Then I smiled evilly, “But I never said scary was bad. Especially not on you.” Paul rolled his eyes, “Here they go again. I swear I think Batista gets more then I do sometimes.” I hit Paul upside the head, “Just because we flirt all the time does NOT mean that he gets any action.” Sarah laughed, “Don’t make me laugh. You’re not as pure as you used to be Andy.” I just glared at Sarah, “You’ve just made the list. And Paul you’re not too far behind her.” Paul looked at Sarah, “The List??” “Andy’s Shit List. Don’t worry, I’ve been on it before, nothing happens to ya.” I just shook my head, “I wouldn’t be too sure of that if I were you Sarah Elizabeth. Not when I have Big Bad Batista here to do all my evil for me.” Dave growled, “Evil?? Where?” Then we all cracked up. Randy finally stopped laughing, “Man Rea… you had us going there for a minute.” I giggled, “Me?? Never. Ya’ll should know better then to believe me, 90% of what comes outta my mouth is pure bullshit.” Dave smiled, “What was the other 10%?” I smiled, “Well, Sarah IS on my shit list. And then there’s the whole in ring action…” I bit my lower lip, “I’d LOVE to do that.” “Really now?” I put my arms around Dave’s neck, “Mmhmm. Really. But I really wouldn’t want anyone else there, just Big Bad Batista and Little Ol’ Me.” Sarah coughed, “Yea, I think we should let these two have some time to themselves. Let’s go see what Bitch, oops I meant Ash, is doing.” Everyone left and Dave and I were left in my room, “So… what’s on this computer of yours?” My eyes got wide. “Um… nothing. I swear.” Dave looked at me strangely, “Okay.. I was just joking, but now I seriously want to know what you have on this puppy.” I sighed and turned on the computer, “Okay… but you have to swear not to laugh or freak out. Kay?” Dave nodded. “I said swear.” Dave laughed, “Okay. If it means that much to you then I swear I won’t laugh or freak out.” I sighed, “Okay, then here goes nothing.” When the computer finally came on Dave looked at me, “Shawn huh?” I bit my lip and nodded. “So was this what you wanted me not to freak about?” I shrugged, “Well, some of it.” Dave sat my on his lap in the computer chair, “I wanna see all of it baby.” I sighed, “Are you sure?” Dave nodded so I got on the internet and opened my web page, “Here it is.” “You have your own website?” I just sat on his lap and stared off into space, “Babe… whatever it is, you can tell me. I won’t get mad.” Dave then grabbed my face and turned it so that I was looking at him, “Really, you can tell me. I want to know everything about you, Everything.” I nodded, “Okay, it’s kind of embarrassing. I… well, I wrote stuff.” Dave just nodded, “Okay. You wrote stuff, when did you write it and what did you write it about?” “Well, ever since I was 14 really. And I wrote about a lot of different things. When I was young it was about Hanson and the Moffats, then O-Town, then Justin Timberlake, and the most recent was of Wrestling.” Dave smiled, “So what do you call what you wrote?” I looked down, “Well, FanFiction.” Dave’s smile got bigger, “That’s what I thought it was. Now why didn’t you tell me this before?” I shrugged, “It’s embarrassing.” What is babe?” I sighed, “Well, meeting people that you wrote stories about and actually getting to know them. It’s just weird. I never really think about the stories I wrote because it had been a while since I wrote any but, I dunno. I guess I though you would laugh and not want to have anything to do with me.” Dave smiled, “I would never feel that way. Babe, I love everything about you.” I just looked up at Dave, “You do??” Dave smiled, “Yea baby, I love you.” I wrapped my arms around Dave and just held him. After I loosened my grip Dave smiled, “Now that that’s over I want to know more about these stories.” I rolled my eyes, “Well, here’s the site. I don’t have any others hiding anywhere.” Dave smiled, “That’s not what I meant. I want to know when you wrote them, stuff like that.” I smiled, “Well I wrote the Hanson one’s when I was 14, like I told you. Then I wrote the Moffat story when I was 15, then I got back into the Hanson stories. Then I wrote the O-Town one’s when I was 17 or 18, right after the O-Town ones I wrote the Justin ones, and then I wrote about Wrestling.” Dave smiled, “So you got all of the crap out of the way before you could write REAL stories.” I laughed, “I dunno if what I wrote would be considered real.” Dave rolled his eyes, “It doesn’t mater, who did you write about?” Instead of telling him I just clicked on the link to my wrestling fiction. He looked at the screen, “So that picture is who the main character was?” I nodded, “Yea. Most of them are fluff, they are all romance stories at one point or another. I guess considering that I never really had any REAL relationships I made up fake ones to write about.” Dave smiled, “So you wrote two about Shawn? Should I be jealous?” I giggled, “No.. Shawn was always the father/brotherly figure. Although he IS really hot… he was too old for me to write a romance about.” Dave nodded, “That’s cool. So… Brock? Should I be jealous?” I laughed, “No. Eh, Brock Lesnar, who needs him when I have Big Bad Batista right here in my arms?” “Yea Baby… you’ve got me right here in your arms. And I’m never gonna let you go.” I smiled and snuggled into Dave, “Scroll Down Babe.” When Dave scrolled down his eyes lit up, “Oh… Rea, you didn’t tell me about this.” I smiled and laid my head on Dave’s shoulder, “Well, I didn’t think it’d be appropriate to tell you I wrote so many stories about you, Especially since I was working with you.” “But Six? Wow. I’m gonna have to read these some time.” When Dave said that I bit my lower lip and groaned. Dave laughed, “There’s no way around it babe. I’m probably gonna read ALL your stories,” He shuddered, “Even the Hanson ones.” I laughed, “HEY! I was young, and besides that I was in Love with Taylor. You seriously expected me NOT to write about him?” Dave rolled his eyes, “No… lets go see what everyone else is doing. And when are we going to go to dinner? It’s already 4.” I shrugged, “Probably 6, why?” “No reason, I was just wondering. Where are we going anyways?” “No clue. Mom said I would like it though, so I know it’ll be good. Probably Grisanti’s or Lone Star.” We got to Lone Star in Omaha at about 6 pm. We had just ordered. The guys all ordered steak of some sort and the girls all ordered chicken of some kind. Everyone was eating their salad, except me. I did NOT get one. As I’ve mentioned many times, I HATE salads… they’re so plain and Blah! Instead I just cut myself a piece of bread off the warm loaf the put on the table and buttered it. MMM… this bread is the best! Our food came and we ate it. The guys were making fun of me… yet again. “Rea… you’re gonna have to go to the guy with us tomorrow to work off that Sweet Potato.” I just looked Paul in the eyes and took a BIG bite. “Mmm Mmm Good… I can honestly say that THIS is worth a damn workout with you machines. This shit is GOOD!” Before the bill came I asked the waitress if it was too late to split the bill. I wanted to pay for my family and Sarah and I figured that The boys of Evolution would pay for themselves with the account that Vinnie Mac gave them. When the bills came I pulled my checkbook out and started writing a check knowing that they took checks from Council Bluffs… I’ve been there MANY times, and paid by check a few of them. (**In all actuality, I have no clue if they even accept checks. I assume they do… but again I do not know.**) While I was writing the check my Dad just stared at me, “Drea… you didn’t have to do that. I was going to pay for Everyone. Even the guys.” I rolled my eyes, “Daddy… they make more money then you do… I know, hard to believe since you Own Steffens Engineering and all… but they do. And besides that I WANT to pay for dinner. It’s the least I can do. You’ve paid countless times.” Dad just looked at me, “Find Drea… but I’m paying next time. Damn, I was even gonna call this a company dinner… we did talk about the company for a bit at least.” I rolled my eyes, “Don’t fret Daddy-o… you can pay next time we go out.” Dad nodded and we were outta there. Evolution all went to my dad’s house after dinner. I wanted to be there to help give them the grand tour. PLUS I wanted to see their reaction to my bedroom here… it’s much more outrageous then the one at my mom’s house. When we got to the bedrooms I smiled, “Okay boys… this is Ash’s room. It’s filled with Hockey and Husker stuff.” And I opened the door. The guys went in and I rolled my eyes, “I can’t believe she even wanted this Husker crap. God… everyone knows the Huskers Suck!” Then while the guys were looking at the hockey stuff she had I spoke up, “The bed’s a queen. So is mine. The only real difference between the rooms is the décor.” Sarah laughed, “Damn Right the décor’s different. Who ever sleep’s in Andy’s room is bound to have some nightmare’s.” Ric and Dave laughed knowing that they were safe considering they were staying at my mom’s house with me. “I’m dying to know Rea… what’s on the walls?” I smile innocently up at Dave, “Why don’t we go and find out.” So we went into my room and I opened the door so the guys could get into the room. Then I came in after them and sprawled out on my bed, “And THIS is where the magic happens!” I just laughed at myself because no one had been paying any attention to me. Dave was the first one to say anything, “So… you’re a Disney fan?” I nodded, “Buddie, that’s an understatement. If you can’t tell I’m a huge Disney collector.” I have 5 Disney figurines in a Curio Cabinet and I have 7 different pictures of different characters and variations all over my walls. The guys just stared at the different memorabilia. Paul nodded and shrugged, “I’ll stay in here. Wouldn’t want Orton to have nightmares. This is actually pretty cool. How much did these cost?” I smiled sweetly at Paul, “Well, the pin sets cost about 50 -100. The smaller paintings were about 300. The figurines varied because of rarity between 100 - 450. And the bigger piece of art were 500 or more.” The guys just stared at me in shock. I smiled sweetly, “Daddy’s been getting me these for presents since I was 18. All of these are mine except the Mickey painting. That’s my dad’s. And I bought myself the Ariel and Eric pin for my 18th birthday when I was in Disney World.” Eventually Dave, Ric and I got into my car and I drove over to my mom’s house. When we got back Ash was on the computer downstairs in the office. I couldn’t find my mom anywhere though so I went to find out where she went. “Ric where’s your stuff. I figure since I’m going downstairs anyways I might as well help you get your stuff down there.” So the three of us went downstairs. Ric to the guestroom and Dave and I went into the office to talk to Ash. “Where’d mom go?” Ash closed the IM she was typing in and I rolled my eyes, she ALWAYS does this when I come into the room. “She went to Mike’s. She’s gonna watch a movie there. Won’t be home ‘til late.” Dave smiled and pointed to the computer monitor, “Don’t want anyone to see who you’re talking to?” Ash’s eyes got huge and I smirked and put my arms around Dave’s waist. “Leave her alone Baby. It’s not a big deal. Her stupid ass friends are the ones who chat with creepy guys when they use the computer.” Dave looked at Ash surprised, “Oh they do, do they?” I smiled, “Yep. Dumbass Erika saved her skanky conversations on the computer.” Ash just sat there not knowing what to say. I smiled knowing I had made her uncomfortable by talking to Dave about it. “We’re gonna go watch a DVD in my room on my computer. If it’s too loud when you come up to your room just let me know.” Ash nodded and Dave and I went out of the room, then I poked my head back into the office, “OH! Just to you don’t freak I think Flair’s gonna watch tv down here.” Ash nodded so Dave and I finally left. We got back up to my room and I grabbed my pj’s, “Babe… while I’m getting ready you pick out a DVD.” And I opened the cabinet to my computer desk and then went into the bathroom. By the time I took my contacts out, put on my glasses, washed my face, got into my pj’s which consisted of a pink Dale Earnhardt tank top and blue hospital scrubs. Dave had already changed into some shorts when I got back into my room. I noticed he had 3 DVD’s on my computer desk. I smiled, “Couldn’t decide?” Dave stared at me, “You have around 25 DVD’s. Which of these do you wanna watch?” I looked at ‘em again. Frequency, Con Air, and Interview with the Vampire I smiled, “Good choices Baby. Question though, do you REALLY like these movies, or did you just pick them cuz you figured I’d get scared and you’d save me?” Dave just looked at me like ‘Are You Kidding Me?’ I smiled again, “Okay, Okay… just checking. Cuz I LOVE these movies. It’s too bad you didn’t want to watch my Shawn Michaels From the Vault DVD. Cuz I LOVE that one.” Dave rolled his eyes, “Does Shawn have ANY idea how much you like him?” I shrugged, “He knows I’m a fan. I don’t think he knows to what extent I’m a fan. But I don’t think that’s a big deal.” Dave shook his head, “Which movie are we watching?” I smiled and put Con Air in the computer, changed some settings (so the screen wouldn’t shut off in 5 minutes) and laid down on my bed. I patted the spot behind me, “Come over here Big Boy!” Dave laid down next to me and was about to put his arms around me when I got up to turn off the lights, “Can’t watch the movie with the light on can we?” Dave shook his head no. I laid down next to him again and I put his arms around me. “Babe… you’re not wearing a bra?” I laughed, “No. I don’t wear a bra to bed. They’re extremely uncomfortable to sleep in. Now shut up and watch the movie.” Dave sighed, “How am I supposed to watch the movie when my girl’s distracting me by not wearin’ a bra?” I rolled my eyes, “So you just want me to turn off the movie and make out?” Dave smiled, “Well… I was thinking a little more then makin’ out.” I laughed, “Okay Big Bad Batista… you show me how much you want it and you just might get it.” Dave’s eyes lit up and he bit into me neck. I giggled and stopped him, “Nope… turn off the movie first.” So Dave got up, took the DVD out, turned the volume off and turned the monitor off.
