*First off thanks for deciding to read this despite my horrible summary.. the story is definitly better than the summary.
So this is my first Randy Orton story and i've been debating posting it for about a month now because i'm nervous as to what other people will think of it. but i've finally gotten over my nerves enough to post it so i hope you like it..
*Also i own nothing but Emma and the story idea.
This shouldn't be happening to me? How can this be happening to me? I did nothing wrong. Those are the thoughts running through my head as I'm watching the news this morning. I don't know why I kept watching the story run over and over again, I guess I just kept rewinding the TiVo thinking maybe next time I rewind it, maybe just maybe it'll all end up being some joke that will go away but every time it's the same story...
"And in some local celebrity news, looks like our local WWE superstar has a new lady in his life. Randy Orton was spotted out on the town last night with what looks to be a possible new woman in his life... (New woman? Really I've been in his life since I was born). They were caught on video looking pretty cozy outside the restaurant as they were walking with their arms wrapped around each other and even at one point leaning in for a kiss. Sources inside the restaurant also revealed that the couple was just as cozy inside saying they couldn't keep their hands off each other and even stole a few kisses from each other throughout the evening. While we're unsure who the woman is at this point, what we are sure of is that she's one lucky lady to have snagged a hottie like Randy Orton..."
That's what I heard over and over again all morning long. The same words, the same video over and over again. It sickened me that someone actually videotaped us out last night, and that we had no idea that it was even happening until seeing it on the morning news.
Last night was special to me, but the news was I guess you could say was exaggerated a bit. While Randy and I may have looked like a couple on the video, I can promise you that we are not in a relationship like the news is making it look like we are. Last night was just supposed to be a date to see what happens, to explore the obvious chemistry between the two of us. It wasn't meant for the world to see and now I feel so exposed, like someone opened the door before I was done getting ready.
The only good thing to come out of this was that no one knows that it was me... yet anyways. I guess that's what I'm most nervous about is one person realizing it's me and leaking it to the world that I was the one with Randy Orton. I don't want to have to deal with people and what they'll think of me being with him. I don't want to have to worry about someone following me around videotaping me or taking pictures of me like I'm some celebrity that I'm not…
I was then snapped out of my thoughts when I heard my cell phone ringing. I was hoping it was going to be Randy calling to see how I was but when I picked it up it was just my friend who sounded well...
"Emma! Why didn't you tell me you were dating Randy!" Kendall asked me
"Cause I'm not dating Randy…" I started to say before a realization hit me "Wait. Who told you I was dating Randy?"
"Oh I was watching the news and they showed this video of you and Randy outside some restaurant last night…"
"I saw the video too, and that's not me. I don't know who Randy was with last night but it wasn't me…"
"Really? Because they said it was you on the news. They said something about the mystery girl has been identified as a local girl named Emma Davis…"
"WHAT! How did they find out it was me?" I nearly screamed into the phone not realizing that I'd just completely screwed up my whole plan of denying the whole thing
"I don't know, but wait a minute. You said that it wasn't you in the video, so wait, you lied to me?" She asked and I could tell she was trying to sound upset with me but at the same time trying not to laugh
"Maybe I did...but it was for your own good. But anyways what else did they say about me..?" I asked her wanting details
"Nothing really, just your name and that they'd try to have an update of more details about Randy's new lady friend later."
"More details? What more could they want to know. I mean they know my name, what the hell else do they want? My life story?" I said sarcastically getting upset
"Yeah probably. You're like a celebrity in this town right now Em, whether you like it or not. You mind as well embrace it…"
"But I don't want to embrace it. I don't want to be some local celebrity or even a celebrity in general. I just want to be me and not have to worry about people watching everything I'm doing or wondering what I'm doing with Randy 24/7."
"Speaking of Randy, has the boyfriend called?" she asked trying to crack a boyfriend joke, I'm guessing to cheer me up but it wasn't working
"Ha-ha funny..." I said sarcastically "but no he hasn't called. I don't even know if he's heard about the story yet but I'm assuming he has since he's supposed to be still in town till tomorrow"
"Well that sucks... Do you want him to call?"
"Why wouldn't I want him to call?" I asked her curiously
"Well I don't know, I mean you're acting like being his girlfriend is like you're worst nightmare. I mean really Em, Are you that afraid of being with him that you don't want to be seen with him?"
I sighed. She didn't get it and I knew I was going to have to try and make her understand.
"Look Kendall, you know I've dreamed of being Randy's girlfriend since I was 13. Being his girlfriend doesn't scare me. It's the people who will hate me for being Randy's girlfriend. The people who will judge us based on some video a creep took from the bushes. The same creepy people who will follow us around trying to get the scoop on our relationship by taking pictures and stalking us trying to get the next big story that's probably not even going to be true…" I then stopped a moment realizing how worked up I was really getting in that moment "I just I don't want to be afraid of being in a relationship with him. I don't know how to be anything but scared especially since he won't be around all the time to make me feel better"
Kendall stayed silent for a moment not saying anything back to me. I don't think she was expecting me to breakdown like that and was trying to find the right words to say to make me feel better, but honestly the only thing that could probably make me feel better right now would be talking to Randy.
"But I'll be here. I'll always be here for you when he isn't Em, you know that. I know it'll be tough Emma but sometimes life isn't always easy and you may have to take a risk and hope it works out. You can't worry about other people if you wanna be in a relationship with him. You're basically just saying it's going to fail before it even starts and that's not fair to him or you. You deserve to be happy Emma so I say give it a chance with him and see what happens"
I listened to Kendall talk to me telling me to take a risk with him and while I knew she was right, I still had that voice in the back of my head telling me that I was scared of what will happen.
"I know, and I'll think about what you said alright?" I said to her, my voice strained obviously not wanting to talk about It anymore. I then heard a beep on my phone signaling me that I had another call. I pulled the phone away from my ear a moment to see who was calling and I swear I felt my heart skip a beat seeing Randy's name lighting up on my phone. "Hey Kendall, I've got another call, can I call you back later..?"
"Yeah yeah, go talk to Randy…"
"Wait how did you know it was Randy calling?" I asked her
"I didn't, but now I do. So go talk to him and well talk later..."
"Alright, Bye Kendall"
"Bye Em." I then pressed the button on my phone switching the call over to talk to Randy "Hey." I said softly trying to sound as perky as I could even though I was far from happy at that moment
"So I'm guessing you haven't seen the news then?" He asked me; obviously not catching on that my perkiness wasn't real
"Oh I have, I'm just pretending that everything going on is just a dream that I'll wake up from very soon" I told him making an excuse even though I knew the news story wasn't going away anytime soon
"So what you just want to forget that our date never happened?" He asked me with hurt in his voice
"That's not what I meant and you know it..." I said feeling bad for what I had just said "I don't want to ever forget our date Randy, I just want to forget everything else. I mean how could someone videotape us, and give the video away to make our date some gossip story on the news" I told him frustrated and upset
"I don't know Emma, I wish I did because it makes me sick that someone would do this and I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this. I'm going to get my lawyers on it to find out who sold the story because I'm going to sue them for everything they've got…" I heard him going on and I couldn't help but smile at how defensive he was being and I let out a soft giggle and that he heard "what's so funny?" he asked me wondering why I was laughing "are you laughing at me?"
"No I'm not laughing at you. I just think you're overreacting a little, I mean suing the person for all they're worth... isn't that a little excessive Randy?" I asked him trying to get some sense into him
"No nothing is too excessive when it comes to you. I just want to make the person pay for leaking the story and upsetting you"
"Look I think it's really sweet that you want to do this for me but please don't. I won't lie it did upset me seeing the story on the news this morning but I honestly don't want their money or really anything to do with them. I want it to just go away and by bringing a court case into it, it'll just be prolonging the memories every time I have to see their face."
"Well I don't want you to be upset, so what I can I do to cheer you up?" He asked me and I felt a smile creep onto my face
"Well since you're leaving tomorrow, why do you come over tonight and we can do something at my house?" I asked him hoping for a certain response along the lines of…
"Sure I can be over in 10 minutes" He replied without hesitation making me giggle softly
"Alright I'll see you in 10 then"
As I sat there waiting for Randy to come over, my mind started to wander flashing back on our date the night before…
I was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom finishing up the last of my make-up and pulling the bangs of my dark brown hair back into a tiny side braid. I then looked over at the clock and realized that Randy was supposed to be here any minute to come back pick me up.
I walked out of the bathroom and into the living room with my wedge sandals in hand and sat down on the couch to put them on. I was shaking nervously as I slipped my feet into them and buckled them I couldn't understand why I was so nervous to go out with Randy, I mean it's not like I haven't been out with him before.. I guess calling it a date changes things.
I then heard a knock at the door and I swear my heart skipped a beat as I realized that Randy was here. I then grabbed my clutch purse from the table in front of me and got up going to answer the door.
When I opened the door my eyes instantly locked with his, I could see this nervousness in his eyes that I'd never seen before but it was like as soon as he saw me the nerves seemed to just fade away and he gave me one of his "famous Orton smiles"
"You look beautiful Emma" He said to me looking me up and down taking in my appearance. I was wearing a simple floral tank top with a pair of dark blue jeans.
"Well thank you and I must say you're looking very dashing yourself there Mr. Orton" I told him as looked at his long sleeve white dress shirt and jeans.
"Thanks, so you ready to go?" He asked me seeming eager to go
"Yup all ready"
"Let's head out then" He said holding his hand out letting me put my hand with his as he walked me over to his car. When he took my hand in his I have to admit something weird happened it was like this spark came over me and I felt all tingly but in a good way that made me feel happy.
As we got into his truck and pulled out of my driveway I turned towards him
"So you gonna tell me where you're taking me?" I asked him curiously hoping he'd tell me
"I would but then it would ruin the surprise" He told me with a smirk on his face
About 15 minutes later we arrived at our destination and my eyes widened in surprise, we were at Delilah, one of the hottest and most exclusive restaurants around, you had to make reservations weeks if not months in advance to get a table.
"Are we seriously going to eat here?" I asked him sounding shocked
"No Em, I just brought you here to tease you and we're actually just going to McDonalds" He told me sarcastically shaking his head
"The sarcasm wasn't needed Randal, I was only asking because I'm curious as to how in the world you go into this place. I mean most people have to wait weeks to get in here"
"Yeah well I'm not most people. I'm Randy Orton remember?" He said looking at me with a smirk and a wink making me shake my head and laugh a little
"Right how could I forget" I said sarcastically to him
"Was that sarcasm Miss Davis" He asked me clearly amused by my mood
"Nope, me sarcastic never" I replied sarcastically again
He rolled his eyes in response knowing I wasn't going to stop anytime soon
"Alright Miss Sarcasm, are you ready to go in now or would you rather stay out here the rest of the night"
"I'd rather stay in the car the rest of the night" she said still being sarcastic but watched as Randy just shook his head getting out of his truck and looked to be heading inside. I quickly got out trying to catch up to him but realized he wasn't in front of me anymore as he came up behind me putting his arms around my waist startling me
"I thought you were staying in the car the rest of the night" He said sarcastically to me putting his head neck to mine so that our cheeks were touching
"Yeah well I changed my mind, can't let you eat all the food in there now can I?"
"Yeah yeah..." he laughed coming from behind me and taking my hand leading inside.
We went inside and had our meal, and the night was going well better than I ever thought it would have. I mean honestly I thought going out with Randy was just going to be awkward but I was really wrong. The whole time it's just like we've been hanging out any other time we have together except this time we're acting well, more like a couple, even though we're not officially in a relationship yet.
I've always had this crush on Randy and embarrassingly enough I've imagined us having out first date and having everything be perfect and romantic and giving me all these high expectations for the date but honestly the date I'm on with him right now may not be exactly as I imagined but I don't think I'd have it any other way.
He's been so well sweet all night, doing things I've always wished he'd do to me, like holding my hand as we were walking around, staring deeply into each other's eyes as we talked like there was no one else around but each other, the spontaneous kisses on the cheek and hand just because he thought I was cute, putting his arm around me.. The list goes on.
The meal was now paid for and we headed outside of the restaurant and I was about to walk to the car when Randy stopped me pulling me into his arms and looking into my eyes a moment. I won't lie the stare he was giving me was kind of scaring me, it was like a less serious version of the viper stare he gave people before he RKO'd them.
But instead of getting an RKO he surprised me by leaning in and giving me a soft kiss on the lips. I stood there shocked for a second taking it in before I closed my eyes and kissed him back. After kissing a moment I looked into his eyes and looked at his face seeing this huge goofy smile on his face.
"What was that for?" I asked him, sounding more upset than I actually was which in return made him back away from me thinking he may have done something wrong. Actually he didn't do anything wrong, more like he made me extremely happy. I mean Randy kissed me, he kissed me. I felt like pinching myself to make sure that it wasn't a dream.
"You're mad, shit I knew I shouldn't have done that..." He started to say seeming to be upset with himself
"No, stop Randy I'm not mad" I told him honestly "I just didn't think you were going to kiss me"
"Oh well was I not allowed to kiss you?" He asked me with a smirk forming on his face
"I didn't say that, I just meant that It was unexpected" I replied a little too quickly as a saw a familiar look forming on his face
"So if I were to kiss you again right now you wouldn't be upset?" He asked me the smirk still on his face but with the eyes making the viper stare again as he moved closer towards me once again
"I don't know Randy, Why don't you try to kiss me and we'll see what happens" I said with my own smirk forming on my lips as he then leaned down and we kissed once again.
That wasn't the last kiss we had that night though... we kissed on the way back to the car, in the car, walking up to my front door, and on the couch, but I think we were about to have our last kiss of the night as Randy was getting ready to leave after spending the rest of the night with me at my house.
"So I hope you had fun tonight" He told me as we made our way to my front door
"How could I not have had fun, I was with you" I said cheekily to him. I knew it was corny to say but I didn't care because it was true, I always had fun when I was with him
"True, I am a fun guy to be around" He said to me with cockiness in his voice that just made me roll my eyes. He then got serious again as he pulled me towards him wrapping his arms around me pulling me into a hug "So what would you say if I told you I thought we should go out again sometime?"
"I'd say just name the day and time and I'll be ready"
"I was hoping you'd say something like that" He said before kissing me again "So will I see you again before I leave the day after tomorrow?" He asked me curiously
"I would like to but that all depends on if you want to see me" I told him
"And I would, so why don't I call you tomorrow sometime and well go from there"
"Sounds good" I replied to him hugging him once more
"Alright I'll call you" He said kissing me once more on my lips and then on the top of my head before pulling away from me opening the door to leave
"I'll be waiting" I replied
"Goodnight Em" He said with a smile on his face that just made me want to smile back at him
"Goodnight Randy"
… That was last night, probably one of the best nights of my life... well until now anyways. What was supposed to be a private date between Randy and I was now known about to the rest of the world and I couldn't stop it. It just killed me inside to think that someone was actually that bored with their life that they'd video tape us and then sell it..
My thought was interrupted though as I heard the doorbell ring and I knew in an instant who it had to be. So I got up quickly running over to the door and opening it seeing Randy standing there. I didn't bother to even say anything and just pulled him inside closing the door behind him and before putting my arms around him and burying my head into his muscular chest.
"Well hello to you too" He said to me as he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me in closer to him. Standing there in his arms, I really don't know what happened, one second I was happy the next his shirt is soaked with my tears because I didn't even realize I'd started crying. I then looked up towards him blinking back the tears in my eyes
"Sorry I didn't mean to do that" I mumbled weakly to him. I guess I'd held it all in for so long that just seeing him broke me down enough to let me let it all out.
"Shh... it's fine" He told me softly pulling me into another hug and kissing the top of my head "why are you crying anyways, you were fine when I talked to you on the phone?"
"I-I guess I was more upset about it then I thought I was."
"Yeah I guess so, but it'll all be ok. You know that right?" He said to me
"I'm sure it will but right now it doesn't feel like it's going to be"
"It will. I guarantee in a day or two, people will have already forgotten about it and will be onto the next news story to catch their eye"
"You think so?" I asked him
"I know so. So stop worrying about everything and just tell me what I can do to cheer you up because I hate seeing you upset like this" He said seriously to me
"Well we could watch a movie... that usually makes me feel better"
"Movie it is then, and I'm guessing you might already have a movie in mind?" He asked me curiously
"I might... let me go get it" I told him removing myself from his arms and running over to the DVD holder searching a moment before grabbing the movie I wanted and putting it into the DVD player.
"And what movie will we be watching?" He asked me as he sat down onto the couch
"You'll see" I said teasingly as I sat down next to him on the couch waiting for the movie to come onto the screen. I subtly looked over towards him waiting to see his reaction to my movie choice and laughed a little seeing his response as the movie came onto the screen finally.
"Really Em? You're really gonna make me watch Aladdin?" He said complaining obviously not all that happy about the movie choice
"Yes I really am. You said you wanted to cheer me up and what's going to cheer me up right now is sitting down on this couch and watching Aladdin with you"
"Seriously?" He said as if saying it was going to change my mind.
"Yes seriously. Now will you please stop complaining, I'm trying to watch the movie" I told him before turning my attention back to the screen
"fine, but you owe me" He said which made me laugh a little before I leaned closer to him laying my head onto his shoulder making myself comfy as I snuggled up against him "you comfortable now" He said and I looked up seeing a small smirk on his face
"Very" I replied simply to him "are you?"
He smirked before putting his arm around my shoulder and pulled me in closer to him "I am now" He said with a smile now on his face.
As I was cuddled up against him watching the movie, I realized something. Being in his arms it was like all my problems disappeared and even if it was just for a short period of time, I didn't care, because I was with him in this moment and I was happy… for now anyways.
