James stood in the backstage area preparing for his tag match. His attention was focused on downing a beer, whilst Robert jumped beside him. Going to the ring half lit seemed like a good idea. It seemed like the best thing to do, seeing as the girl of his dreams refused to walk down the ramp with him.
The cowboy sighed as he finished off his beer, and threw the bottle to the side. "I told myself I wouldn't let her get to me." He mumbled, running a frustrated hand through his shoulder length hair. He assumed that his partner hadn't heard a single word, but he was sadly mistaken. Robert has heard everything. "She's just a girl, you'll get over her." Roode replied, shrugging his shoulders. He couldn't figure out what was so special about Val, she was nothing more than eye candy. She was nothing special.
James scoffed at his friends words. "She isn't just a girl." She grumbled, walking to the ramp entrance. Val wasn't just a girl, oh no. She was much more than that. She was the person he depended on, the person that understood him, the person he cared for, the person he spent his time with, and the person he grew to love. Val was the only person for him. "Just let her go." Roode rolled his eyes at his friend and walked off, going back into the locker room.
"Leave her alone? That isn't going to happen. I could never leave her alone, I love the woman too much. She means to much to me." James sighed, as he leaned up against the wall. Maybe if he'd said those things to her directly, he'd be with her instead of wishing. But no, he had to be a coward around her.
The sound of heels clacking against the pavement suddenly caught his attention, and the sight of red hair caught his eye. She was coming down the hall. What if she heard what he said? Would that make it better? Would it make it worse? Val reached closer to him and his heart pounded in his chest. He couldn't remember the last time a woman made him feel that way. "Hello, cowboy." Val said softly, winking at the older man. "Hi." He replied, running his hand over his face. Did he really just say 'hi'?
The red head giggled at the mans embarrassment. She thought it was cute he got embarrassed around her, that didn't happen to many men. "What'cha doin'?" She asked, twirling a strand of hair around her finger. She loved acting cute around James. "Nothing at his very moment." James replied, nodding his head. His match wasn't until another ten minutes, he was free until then. "What are you doing tonight?" Val asked, letting a smirk creep across her features.
In that instant, a grin came across James' face. She was asking him out. "Taking you out to dinner, if you'd be so kind and accept." James shot her a gentle smile, awaiting her answer. He hoped she say yes. He wanted nothing more than to go out to dinner with that beautiful red head. "It's a date." She said, tucking her hair behind her ear. She leaned up and kissed him lightly on the cheek, then walked away, going down the arena corridor. "It's a date." He said to himself, tipping his hat over his eyes. He couldn't wait for his date, it was going to be something to remember.
