The redhead sipped some of her own coffee and smiled over the top of her cup. "So far, so good," she replied with a soft smile. "Rey took him out for a little while under the pretense of training."
Amy was referring to the surprise party she'd planned for Adam's twenty-ninth birthday. Conveniently, they had the day off, and no tapings, live shows or appearances stood in the way of the plans. The redhead had also let Dawn and Mysterio in on her idea immediately, enlisting their help in surprising the Canadian as well.
The brunette grinned. "He's going to love this!" she said. "I see big things coming your way tonight."
Amy's hazel eyes widened in surprise at her friend's statement, her face reddening somewhat, mouth falling open.
"I can't believe you just said that! You are so bad!"
"What?" Dawn suddenly realized what the other woman was thinking, her own eyes widening. "I didn't mean it that way!" she insisted innocently.
"Oh, yeah - sure!" Amy cried, but a grin spread across her face at the sexual thoughts of herself and the tall blond man. The images she conjured up were anything but unpleasant.
"No, I swear!" the other diva exclaimed, putting her hands up as if in protest. A slow smile spread across Dawn's pretty face. "However, now that you mention it..."
The redhead laughed heartily, unable to control herself. It felt so good to be able to laugh like this, and it was so nice to not have to deal with anything worrisome or unpleasant for awhile. She couldn't wait to surprise Adam when he and Rey returned.
"Well, anyway," the brunette said as she stopped laughing along with her friend, "that is what you want, isn't it? I've seen the way you two are together - believe me, Amy - Adam is completely in love with you - same as you are with him." She smiled.
"You mean to become more than friends with him? Or are you just strictly speaking sex?" Amy asked, her eyes fixed on Dawn Marie's. With the other woman, one could never tell.
Dawn laughed softly. "Well, I already know you want to have sex with him," she said, reducing her tone to a whisper. Her laughter increased in volume just a notch as she noticed the slow but steady blush that suddenly stained her friend's cheeks. "You are so very cute!" She reached over to pinch Amy's cheek.
The redhead bit her lip. "I...have been thinking of talking to him tonight during the party," she admitted. "I don't know how much longer I can wait. I mean, Adam wants to be with me - I know he does - but he's said he thinks if we were to get together so soon after my breakup...that it would be a...a rebound thing." She glanced down at her hands, which still held onto the cup. "I don't...I mean..." She ran one hand through her red locks as she reworded herself. "It's just that...when I'm with him, I just feel...God, it feels so right - so natural - like we were meant to be...Like we were made for each other, Dawn, you know?"
"Of course I know...and I understand completely," the other diva said. "But as far as the rebound thing, tell me this - do you think it would be just a rebound if you were to get with him at this very moment? Honestly, now..."
Amy didn't have to think about her answer to that question for even a split second. Gazing squarely into her friend's eyes, she responded firmly and honestly. "No. Not with Adam - never."
After a moment of silence and seriousness between the two women, Dawn Marie suddenly began to laugh softly. She reached across the table to place her hand on her best friends and winked. "Girl, you have got it so bad for this guy..."
The redhead smiled as she lifted her cup back up to her lips. She took a long swallow of coffee, her eyes downcast for a minute or two as the tall blond man's handsome face came into her mind. Just thinking of him calmed her down immensely. It seemed like fate that they'd met, and even the events leading to her breaking up with Matt seemed as though they were meant to be - for it definitely felt as though Adam was the man who was truly meant to be with her.
She rose her eyes back to meet Dawn's and smiled softly as she continued to think about her Canadian friend, for whom her feelings ran so deep and complex. If someone were ever to ask her to describe in a single word exactly how she felt about him, she knew she couldn't do it - multiple words came to her mind when she thought about that.
"Yeah, I know," she finally admitted. "And if I don't do it tonight, I am going to let him know soon - very soon - just how much he means to me."
The redhead looked back down into her cup of coffee, biting her lip gently as she thought she might actually show the blond man how she felt first - before actually telling him in words. She couldn't help smiling at that thought.
