At the Movies (Batista and Maria)

Dave Batista stood in the front of the movie theater, his eyes roaming over the various movies and times playing for the day, trying to decide which he should go and see. He had been bored at the hotel and instead of going to the gym like his normal routine, he decided to take some time to relax and enjoy himself.

Maria was in a boredom phase. She decided...why not hit the movies? There were a lot of new ones coming out and she hadn't seen a movie in a while...that and she wouldn't mind seeing something that was for adults, instead of having to worry about Nadine.

She had nothing against the little girl. Nadine was adorable and was her boyfriend's daughter, but Maria was constantly making sure she didn't do anything inapproriate. She wanted to see something R-rated. She got to the theater and looked on the outside to see what was playing and what she wanted to see.

She was dressed in a simple black tank top and skinny jeans with a pair of sandals. She didn't really put a lot of makeup on since she was alone.

Dave glanced over when someone else stepped in beside him, and couldn't help but smile. "Hey Maria, how's it going?"

She heard her name and turned. "Oh, Dave~ hey." she said, the bright and bubbly diva said with a grin.

"I'm doing alright...you?"

"Not too bad. I can't complain." He shrugged casually. "You here alone?" He asked, noticing there was no one with her.

She nodded. "YEah...my boyfriend's probably doing something with his daughter...and I wanted some time to actually see something that isn't PG or G rated." she said shaking her head.

"What about you? No hot date?" she teased.

Dave shook his head. "Nah, I'm playing hooky from the gym and haven't had a hot date in some time." He chuckled. "So what are you thinking of seeing?"

"Mmmm....I'm not sure...I wanna see "The Ugly Truth" because I have the hots for Gerard Butler like every other woman in America." she said chuckling.

"My other option would be "The Collector" but I definitely don't wanna see it alone...or maybe GI Joe...I don't know...what are you gonna see? And it's a bit hard for me to believe that you of all people haven't had a hot date in a while." she said chuckling.

Dave laughed. "I haven't met anyone interesting recently. Sure, a lot of pretty women out there, but then you talk to them and they're all the same, it's boring. I'd rather keep my own company."

He glanced back at the list of movies. "G.I. Joe is supposed to be very good. And the Collector is rumored to be the first "good" horror film in awhile." He mused. "If you don't mind my company, I'd be glad to see either one with you...I don't know if I can handle watching you swoon over Gerard Butler though." He joked. "It might make me a little sick." Especially since I'd rather you swoon over me instead. He thought to himself as he drank in the effects of her smile. He had always thought Maria was beautiful, but there was something different about her today, her beauty had become...alluring.

She nodded. "that's understandable...and someone like you deserves the best." she said sincerely.

"Well I promise to keep my swooning in check if you would watch "The Ugly Truth" with me and I promise I will keep my drool contained until I get home." she reassured since she really wanted to see it.

"Thanks Maria, and just for you, I'll watch the Ugly Truth with you." He smiled at her. "And if there is a teensy amount of drool, I might have a handkerchief somewhere."

She giggled. "Awesome~!" she said brightly as they got in line to get their tickets.

"But you should understand where Gerard is coming from...plenty of women drool over you and swoon when they see you too." she said winking.

Dave laughed. "I think you have me confused with Randy and the Baby Oil Boys Club."

She shook her head. "Nope~! I mean you, Dave, the animal, Batista~!!!!" she said like a ring announcer.

"I mean god, you are so handsome, you've got a body to die for, and you've got so much charisma." she said, finding herself in a bit of trance as she spoke. She shook her head out of it chuckling.

"Oh look~! Line's moving." she said as she quickly moved in front of him so he couldn't see how red she was turning.

An ear to ear grin spread of Dave's face as he stared down at the back of Maria's head for a moment, before he chuckled. "Well thanks Maria, that means a lot to me, especially since it's coming from one of the most beautiful, endearing and kindest women, I've ever had the pleasure to meet."

She blushed further. "Flattery will get you nowhere." she said flashing him a small smirk as it was her turn to get her ticket. "Yay~!" she said excitedly as she took her wallet out of her purse to get her ticket.

Dave's hand covered hers. "It's on me." He said firmly, passing money to the vendor. "And you're absolutely adorable when you blush."

"Thank you..." she said, putting her wallet away. Then his next statement made her eyes widen. "Dave~!" she said, embarrassed.

"What?" He looked at her with a smirk. "It's true."

"Oh hush..." she said smacking one his very nice, muscular biceps. "So I'm getting some candy...want anything since you paid for the tickets?" she offered, her face starting to return to normal color.

Dave grinned. "I don't need anything sweet as long as you're around." He assured her.

(wow I just realized how corny that sounds *ashamed* lol)

"Wow...what movie did you steal that line from?" she teased smirking as they got to the concessions stand. She ordered a coke and box of gummy bears.

"Are you sure you don't want anything? My treat." she offered again.

[[it's okay...corny is nice every once in a while...it's a small doses thing ]]

Dave shook his head. "I actually ate before I came here. As for what movie...I have no idea." He laughed.

(lol oh good...I reread and was like wow...corny much? haha)

She laughed with him as she paid for her stuff and they headed to the movie theater. "I never pegged you as the cheesy pick up line kind of guy." she said as they started to look for seats.

"I'm not usually, but then, like I said, it's been awhile. Besides, I don't think I can actually pick you up anyway, I mean, aren't you seeing that Dal guy?" He asked following her into a row and sitting down beside her.
