Hear My Heart Cry, See My Soul Bleed.
"I Love you Daddy!" Cried the 7 year old with eyes filled to the brim with tears
"I Love you too Melon" he replied as he saw the innocent angel in front of him being led away by her mother
He called her melon as she had grown a weird obsession with it during the summer they had spent together on the road. For 3 months out of a year he could be the father he was dying to be but her mother made it hard.
"Daddy, why can't I stay with you?!" the little girl yelled with the tears sliding down her face. For some reason she never wanted to leave and it wasn't just because they don't get see each other much but there was pain in her eyes that was riddled with fear but he didn't want to ask, maybe because he didn't know to know the answer.
At 7 years old, her soul was tortured beyond his knowledge.
"Daddy!!" screeched the newly turned 25 year old
His conversation with Paul "Triple H" Lesvque and Randy Orton was interrupted as she flew herself into his arms
"Melon, what are you doing here?" said the shocked superstar
"Nice to see you too Daddy! What? It's only been a year since you last saw me and you're already wanting me to leave?" she giggled
"I didn't think you'd be here till tomorrow darlin' is all"
"Well…… SURPRISE!!" She flew her arms open and with that gesture her father picked her up and swung her round before setting her down.
"I decided to come see you before your match plus I wanted to see uncle Ric because he's been hounding me near enough every day. Jeez I thought Paris was far away but it weren't an obstacle for Ric" She laughed along with the 3 superstars
"Adrienne?" Paul quizzically interrupted
"Sorry Uncle Paul" she threw her arms around his neck as he squeezed her. She then left the comfort of his arms to hug her best friend, Randy Orton; they had been best friends ever since they were little.
"How are ya Adrienne" he said with a smile
"Great" shooting back the same smile.
Adrienne Ramírez was 25 years old and a semi-famous fashion photographer, meaning people who are involved or know about fashion know who she is. No one knows who her father is as her family isn't one she likes to make conversation about. She took her last name from her mother as she thought she would get picked on if she used 'Hickenbottom'.
Adrienne was 5'7 with Spanish glowing skin that any women would kill for, even Jennifer Lopez asked how she got it and Adrienne just replied "I got it from my momma" which was true but that was the only time she would ever talk about her mother. She has deep blue eyes that showed a hint of green when she was angry and as expected; the Latina's curves rivalled those of Marilyn Monroe.
Those in the wrestling business had expected her to follow in her fathers footsteps as she was trained by some of the best in the business and she wanted too but her mother shot down that idea as soon as it was mentioned so her mother had made her enrolled in college. With that, she decided on Photography. Why? You ask, well sorry to tell you this but she had no idea either but on the up side she had made a successful go of it.
"Adrienne!"
Her father clicked his fingers in front of her face as the four had sat down in his locker room; she had drifted off into her own little world as per usual.
"Sorry" She giggled "I was having me a daydream"
"So how was Paris?" Paul asked
"Yeah, was good, I suppose" she sighed sadly
"So you're not liking rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous? You told me you loved it last week and couldn't get enough of it" Randy raised one eyebrow after finishing his sentence.
"Don't get me wrong, I loved every minute of it and Marc Jacobs gave me so many clothes that I wont need to shop for another year but strangely I felt so pleased when it was over" She sighed again before adding "I don't know what's going on with me lately guys. I feel like i'm at a crossroads and don't know which direction to turn, ya know? And I've been offered two wonderful jobs but both with two completely different directions….. And consequences if I may say so"
"Oh Melon" Shawn quietly replied after taking in the sadness in her eyes
"My Little girls growing up, huh. Well all I can say is listen to your heart. What does it say when you think of the jobs?"
"One makes me feel that I should do it for my career and that it would be a missed opportunity and a once in a lifetime opportunity. The other job, is kinda the same but my heart feels more into it and more alive with passion than a night with Dane Cook"
Paul and Randy started laughing hysterically at the look on Shawn's face. Priceless.
As tears were slipping down their faces, a knock came at the door in which 3 content faces followed and as soon as Ric Flair walked through that door, like superwoman, she flew into his arms, not registering who else had walked in.
"I see you made it babygirl" he said ecstatically
"Uh-huh. Wouldn't do it for anyone else uncle" she beamed before looking at the two new faces. She didn't really know them, she'd seen them on T.V or walk past her when she visited but never spoken to them. Which is kinda weird as she is Shawn Michael's eldest daughter. Ric seemed to read her mind and started the introductions.
"Dave, John, This is Adrienne Ramírez. Shawn's daughter" he said watching her size them up. His laughter filled the room as he already knew she was thinking how she could hurt them if they were to hurt her father.
"Pleasure to meet you" they said in unison
Adrienne simply replied with "I'm sure it is"
Adrienne simply watched the men engross in a conversation about Ric and Shawn's match later that night. Wait. Did I forget to mention it was WRESTLEMANIA? Oops. Sorry. She twitched when she heard part of the conversation about a following storyline, which she didn't like the sounds of. It was her time to talk now.
" WAIT!" all six men turned to the Latina but some looked more cautious as the green flickering in her deep blue eyes "Your telling me that your going into a storyline with him?" she perfectly manicured nails directed toward Dave Batista
"Dad, You may still be Mr Wrestlemania but your not 23 anymore. Your 43 years old, what if you get hurt or even worse…… He falls on you!"
The men started laughing which caused her to laugh a little but she was still serious.
"We're professional's sweetheart, don't worry about it. Plus I have a lot of respect for your father and I wouldn't hurt him" Staring into the beauty's eyes, Dave flashed a heart melting smile.
"Owen Hart was also a professional" she mumbled quietly
"But he fell from a 78ft fall hun, it a different situation" they fell silent with thoughts of Owen popped in their heads before Ric continued "Wait! Why aren't you worried about me hurting him?"
"You're a gentle giant with the giant bit being not so true" she nodded knowingly with a laugh that earned chuckles around the room
"I've gotta go prep myself for tonight guys. Nice to meet you Adrienne" John rose and walked out
"I agree" Paul quickly stood up "I think we all should"
"Hey, Adrienne is it ok if I watch your dads and Ric's match with you?" Dave looked at her
"Sure but I was gonna watch it in the Gorilla with Rebecca and Ric's family. You can join" She smiled
"Good, I'll meet you there at the start of the match" Dave walked out to prepare for his match
Adrienne looked at her father and Ric before gently taking Ric's hand, looking into his eyes
"Tonight Ric, you're going to be the Showstopper" She said with tear filled eyes
