Valentines Day
A/N: This is just a sweet lil One Shot I thought of, seeing as though Valentines Day is coming up. I hated Stacy being with Test, and I know she didn't love him so I am putting her with one of my own characters, so the story fits more. Please RnR!!
Summary: RKO/Legs – Valentines Day has never been a good day for Stacy. Her love life only consisted of heartbreak. When she thinks that will finally change, she finds herself to have it all wrong…or does she?
Disclaimer: James is someone of my creation, and the rest of the characters are owned by the WWE.
When I met James my heart spun out of control. I thought my constant broken heart would finally heal, and Valentine's Day would be the day I anticipate most throughout the year.
James Sullivan was a simple man, who didn't ask for much. He had brown hair, brown eyes, and a creamy complexion. He towered over me, and when his strong arms wrapped around me I felt extremely protected. Something just didn't spark sometimes, but I brushed it off, for I knew he was the one for me. No one else had ever treated me like James did, and for that I will forever be thankful.
He was a lawyer from New York, and was a big wrestling fan. We met during one of the RAW shows, when he was in the front row of the audience. I had a match against Trish for the Women's Championship Belt (A/N: sorry, I had to do that! She deserves a chance!!) and Trish threw me over the wall that keeps the audience from coming into the ring, and, just like fate, he caught me. I thanked him, as I stared into his eyes, and he put me back over it, so I could continue my match.
Well, Trish knocked out the ref on accident and my best friend of only god-knows-how-long, Randy Orton, came out to the ring. He RKO-ed Trish, and quickly left as the ref began to stir. He immediately began to hit the mat, and I got an even-longer-than-three count. I was so ecstatic! I never knew my career would get that far, and something deep down inside told me it was that man…But something else inside me told me it was Randy. I was so overwhelmed I didn't know what to think anymore.
He immediately congratulated me on my victory as I was heading back on the ramp. And since that moment we just clicked. We dated for a month before Valentine's Day was finally here, and my life would turn upside down, for the better or for worse, I didn't know at the time. I just knew that day is now a piece of history that can never be forgotten.
"So Amy, what have you gotten so far?" I asked my best friend eagerly. James had taken me out for breakfast, and to a movie. My present was roses and a box of caramel chocolates.
"Well, Matt gave me breakfast in bed, then we saw the awesome shops, and sites that New York has to offer, while riding in our own personal limo. Later on we are supposed to go ice skating in central park (A/N: I have never been to NY, so I am making this up as I go along. I don't really know anything about it, so please forgive me!!) and after that we are going to a romantic dinner theater. My present was a gold necklace with a heart shaped out of diamonds. It is gorgeous, you have to see it!" Even if I was talking to her over the phone and I had no way of seeing it, I could really picture it. James hadn't been that into today, I thought, and he seemed like he had a lot on his mind, but once again, I just brushed it off.
"Hey, listen Stace – I will talk to you later, I have to go. Bye!" And with that she hung up.
As I sat in my hotel room, at 4 in the afternoon, I realized how wonderful it is to have someone really care about you. Yes, I was a little jealous of Amy, seeing as though she got the perfect Valentines Day, and I just got a normal date, but I was still happy. I at least got to do something with someone.
James dropped me off at the hotel room at about 3:45, saying he had to be in court at 4:10. At first I was mad about him just leaving me like that, but then I realized that duty called, and I just had to learn to accept it.
I just sat there on the bed, not having anything to do, when I got a phone call. It was from my other best friend, Randy Orton.
"Hey Babe." He said. We weren't even dating, but he still called me babe. He said it was his special nickname for me, and that was true, because he had been calling me that even before we became so tight.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Nothing, really. I was just sitting in my hotel room since I have no date for today, and I just decided to give you a call. Where's James?"
"Oh, he had to be in court at three. So I am just sitting in my hotel room, too."
"Well, since we are both dateless, how about we be each other's dates, and go out somewhere?"
I thought for a moment, and realized James knew how close me and Randy were, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
"Of course, how can I turn you down?" I said in my most sarcastic of voices.
"You can't, that's why you just said yes!"
"Whatever, you nerd."
"I'll be at your room in a few minutes, okay?"
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
I sighed. He can be so cocky at times, but it was very humorous when he was. I quickly raked my brush through my hair, brushed my teeth, and before he could even knock, I answered.
"So, where to?" I asked as we walked to his car.
"Mm…your choice."
"My choice? Well…how about… the skating rink? It is starting to get dark, and that is the best time to skate, also, we might see Amy and Matt there."
"Sounds good. I'm not the best skater, but I'll try for you." We both laughed at his last comment.
We pretty much drove in silence, and soon we arrived at the beautifully lit up skating rink. Many people don't know it, but I am an excellent ice skater. I have actually won contests as a kid, but my parents just brushed it off as a hobby of mine. (A/N: This isn't true, I am making it up for the sake of the story!!)
I slowly got out of his car, and squinted into the rink. My heart dissolved into pieces., and I could hear nothing but the beat of my own heart. Randy was instantly by my side, with his arms around my shoulders, trying to find out what I was staring at. Once he saw it, I knew his heart broke too. He turned to me, held on tighter, and whispered, "I'm so sorry, Stace."
In the middle of the rink, James was holding onto another woman, who looked a lot like Trish, and they were kissing. He had lied to me. The reason this day wasn't that fun or romantic was because he loved someone else, and that someone else just so happened to be my worst enemy.
I could feel the hot tears running down my cheek, as I pushed Randy away, and began to run across the parking lot. I could hear him running after me, but I didn't stop, and I didn't hear the car coming either. All I remember was his arms wrap around me, and the two of us go flying through the air, and into the grass.
"Stacy, baby, are you okay? Please tell me you aren't hurt!" He was almost crying he was so scared. For once, I forgot about James, and focused on Randy and me.
"I-I'm fine, considering what I just saw. But…I-I'm not physically hurt…are-are you?" I stuttered, tears stopping.
"I'm worried about you, babe. I know that hurt you bad, but I think there is something else you should know…"
I immediately began to worry. "Whatever it is," I said while wiping my eyes. "Can you tell me in the car, this grass is wet and cold."
He chuckled, and helped me up from the grass, and into his car. Him in the driver's seat, and me in the passenger's seat. He automatically looked deep in my eyes, and the same for me. I saw something there, in those swirling blue orbs of his, that I had never seen before. Never in Andrew or Scott, and never in James. Something told me it was love, but before I could figure it out myself, he started to speak…
"Stacy, I know you are still getting over James, or, beginning to, I should say, but there is something you should know…Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I loved you. That is why I call you babe, that is why I always kiss your forehead when we leave each other, and that is why I am such good friends with you. I treasure you, and I always will. Every time I look at you, it aches because I know you are with someone else…and, I know what just happened was really difficult to see. It was for me too, because I hate to see you in pain, and I will get my hands on that bastard if it's the last thing I do. He had no reason to do that to you.
"I will kill him if I have to. He deserves it. But…I know you aren't looking for anyone right now, and I am sure you are terribly upset. I just wanted you to know this…it is Valentine's Day after all. And, I want you to know that I am here for you. I will always be the guy you can trust, and hold onto when you need to be comforted. As a boyfriend, as a best friend, or even as just a friend, I don't care, as long as we keep this special relationship that we have now. I love you, Stacy baby, and I hope this wont get in the way of anything…" I was speechless. A part of me knew this already, but the other half that was too blind to see it really wished I had noticed it, before James happened.
We just sat there, in his car, in silence. I knew everything I wanted to say…or at least I think I did, but somehow, nothing would come out.
"Well? Say something, please." He begged. I swallowed the lump in my throat, wiped away my tears, took a deep breath, and began to speak my feelings.
"Randy…you are my best friend in the entire universe. You make me feel safe, secure, and loved. James was a nice guy, and it will take me a while to get over him, you know…but, a part of me knew this about you all along, and the other part is just…really surprised, I guess. I am not quite sure what I feel for you, just yet, because I don't really know what love feels like.
"James and I…well, I thought I loved him, but now that particular blindness has subsided, and I know he was just a substitute of what I wanted him to be. We never had that spark, that I always knew had meant true love, but I didn't want to believe it, because he was the only guy who had treated me like I wanted to be treated: like a person, not someone's servant. I guess he wasn't the only guy, seeing as though I know how you feel now. And honestly, I don't know how I never paid any attention your way! You treat me like a princess, and I treat you like dirt, and I was too wrapped up in myself to see the people around me. I really dont deserve you...
"But, the more I think about it Randy, the more I think spending the rest of my life with you doesn't sound that bad. I would die if you weren't in my life, and you are the one I dream about at night. I have your cell number on speed dial, and I love to hang around you. I don't know if it is love, but it is something that I have never ever felt before when it came to guys. But if it is love, and I am pretty sure it is, then I guess it is safe to say, that I am in love with Randy Orton. I love you. So, so much. I am sorry it took me so long to finally see the light, but I am very thankful you had patience with me. I really don't know what I would do without you." There. I finished. And it was done. As I looked over to him once more, I saw he had tears in his eyes, and his smile was as big as Texas.
We stared into each other's love-filled eyes once more, before leaning in, and getting that much desired kiss. The thought of James drifted out of my mind, and all I could think about now was my best friend, and now boyfriend, Randy Orton.
When we both pulled away from the kiss, we were grinning madly, and he started to say something.
"Well…looks like this is going to be a Valentines Day we will never forget…And now I really can call you my Valentine. Oh yeah, and since we didn't get that date I wanted so bad, what do you say we go dancing at that cool club we passed on the way down here? It would be our official, first dance as a couple…?"
I sighed. "Of course, how can I turn you down?" He grinned even wider.
"You can't. That's why you just said yes." We both giggled, and drove away from the parking lot. Instead of driving in silence, we talked about everything. Everything we had been keeping bottled up inside of us. We soon knew everything there was to know about each other, and I felt better than I had in a long, long time.
"Oh, Randy! Come on, we have to dance to this one. I love this song, and it reminds me so much of you!" I screeched while pulling Randy onto the dance floor. He rolled his eyes, but obeyed, and soon we were swaying to the graceful tunes of Martina McBride.
If there were no words And even if the sun refused to shine All of my life I've dreamed of this a thousand times before And even if the sun refused to shine
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
"I love you, Stacy Baby." He whispered in my ear as the song was ending.
"I love you too."
