By the time Lita, Victoria, Lilian, Molly, Jeff and Chris returned to the beach house; Christian and Edge had managed to pull themselves away from the video game and order a pizza. Not that this was a huge accomplishment by any stretch of the imagination, but it was an improvement. Still, the pair declined the offer to accompany Lita, Jeff and Chris to the grocery store; instead offering their input for the all important shopping list. Fortunately it doesn't take the trio too long to get the shopping done, but that was also because they had decided ahead of time to split up. Even so, with this full day of travel and activity, Lita found herself awake and unable to sleep; the former redhead quietly exiting the bedroom. Carefully she navigated the dark living room, mindful of the sleeping blond Canadian pair..
“Can't sleep?” A voice questioned from the kitchen, Lita just barely able to recognize Jeff at the table.
“Something like that,” the diva admits, nearly stubbing her toe on a chair. “Almost forgot how quiet the beach house can get.”
Jeff grinned, hands bridged on the table, “funny how that works, huh? We get so damn used to all the noise of being on the road... wishing for peace and quiet and then when we finally get it?”
“Mmmhmm,” Lita hummed her agreement, rolling her shoulders as she finally sat down. “Plus, taking that nap in the car didn't help me too much. My neck's sore and my shoulders are cramped.”
“You up for taking a walk?” Jeff pushed back from the table as he spoke, “I was planning on going for one anyway.. I know it's dark and all that but it's nice outside. Plus, it's clear and all the stars are out. Or, we could take a drive down to that one playground we went to last time.”
Lita's smile appeared immediately as she also pushed back from the table, “playground sounds like a great idea. I just need to get my car keys and my shoes.”
On their way out, Lita ran into Molly in the hallway, the brunette having similar problems with falling asleep. The exiting trio then nearly tripped over Chris, the blond Canadian seated on the front steps of the beach house. Naturally, he agreed to go along with them.
“I fail to see how this will help your sore neck, but at least it'll be fun?” Jeff offered from the passengers seat.
“Bumps and bruises, aches and pains.. I can deal with that no problem,” Lita replied and then shrugged. “I'd rather just get to sleep. And besides, Jeffrey, you were the one who suggested the playground instead of the beach.”
He rolled his eyes, “I suggested the playground as an alternative.”
“Because you actually wanted to go there in the first place...” Molly intoned knowingly, “and you knew that Li would agree to it.”
“Something like that,” Jeff admitted freely, “but once you see this playground, you'll know why.”
Chris snorted, “even though it's well after midnight--”
Lita shook her head, turning into a parking lot, “which is the same time we went last time. Besides which, Chris, you didn't have to come with us.”
“I had no choice in the matter,” the blue eyed blond protested instantly, “you and Jeff practically dragged me along.”
The former redhead rolled her eyes as she exited the car, “are you sure you aren't meant to be a Diva?”
Chris smirked at her, the blond man suddenly up close and personal, “I assure you that I have all the necessary qualifications to be in the male locker room.” And then he grinned, grabbing her hand, “lets go on the see-saw.”
Jeff, who had been watching the exchange from the car, whistled softly. “Just friends, my ass.”
Molly giggled a little, “oh those two have been like that for awhile now.. past few weeks at least.”
“Past few weeks?” Jeff began in an incredulous tone, “try on and off for about four years now. They're both just too damn stubborn to admit to it... or there was someone else.”
“Well there's also this bet going on--”
“A bet?” Jeff instantly sounded suspicious, “what kind of bet?”
Molly hesitated, “well I'm not supposed to talk about it but, it doesn't involve Chris, it's more like a bet between some of us divas. And that's all I can really say.” Companionably, she took Jeff's hand in hers, “trust me, okay? It's nothing bad.”
Jeff was still slightly reluctant, though he trusted her. “All right, I'll take your word for it... I'm sure Li would tell me if it was something really important.” He grinned, nodding on ahead, “anyway, we should probably go catch up to those two. Make sure they haven't broken anything.”
The brunette agreed easily to that, Jeff and Molly finding Lita and Chris at the see-saws... Chris moving to join Lita on one end while Jeff and Molly took the other. The four stayed on the see-saws for some time before growing bored and moving on to the swings. And keeping in mind that they also had a full day planned for tomorrow, they tried not to stay too long but long enough to tire themselves out enough.
