Randy Orton headed to the gym after work. He wanted to get a work in before the weekend. He had been going to Lone Eagle gym for two years now. He started lifting weights when he saw Alex Riley come in. He and Alex had been working out together over the last few months. Alex was a good guy. The type of guy his youngest sister, Holly, needed.
"Hey, Randy, what's up?" Alex said walking up.
"Not too much." He replied. "So, how about you?"
"Things are good. Busy at the ad agency. Plus I have a big party coming up with some clients and my girlfriend and I broke up."
Randy smiled and thought. Maybe he could just introduce Alex to Holly. "When is this party?"
"A week from Saturday."
"So what are you doing tomorrow?"
"Nothing really."
"Great. Come to my house for a BBQ. I happen to have a single sister."
"I don't know Randy. I'm not real comfortable being set up."
"Wait." Randy took out his phone and scrolled down to a picture of Holly and Amber. "These are my sisters. Holly is the single one. She's the blond on the left."
Alex looked at the photo. "She's beautiful."
"Exactly. So, come and meet her."
"Alright. I will be there."
"Great. See you about one." Randy said handing Alex the address.
"Okay."
"So see ya Saturday?"
"Yeah, I'll be there."
Randy smiled. "Great. Well I have to get home. "
"Later."
Randy headed to the shower and then home. He wanted to tell Dena that he had invited someone. He arrived home.
"Hey beautiful" He said walking in the kitchen. "Dinner looks good."
"Thanks. So how was working out?"
"Good. Oh I invited Alex Riley for the BBQ tomorrow. He's the guy I work out with."
"Why did you invite him?"
"Because I think Alex would be good for Holly. He works in advertising and is a good guy."
"So , how come you weren't this supportive when Amber and Ted started dating?"
"He's a cop. I don't know if I'm okay with it yet."
"They've been together for a year and a half now."
"So?"
"I don't think Ted's going anywhere. You better get okay with it quickly."
He sighed. Being a cop he knew the dangers of the job and that wasn't something he wanted Amber. He looked at his wife. "I just want to protect Amber from having to deal with the dangers of the job."
"Babe, she loves him and he loves her. She can handle the job."
"I promise to try okay?"
Dena smiled. "That's all I ask. So does Holly know you're setting her up?"
"No. I want it to be a surprise. Mom and dad are coming. It's a family event."
"Alright but you better make sure that she isn't bring Josh then."
"Please. Josh Matthews is no where near good enough for my sister."
"Randy, you can't control Holly. Amber told me that Holly was serious about Josh."
"Well, we will see after she meets Alex."
Alex Riley arrived at his apartment after leaving the gym. He was excited about the BBQ tomorrow. Randy's sister was beautiful and she was definitely better than Brie, his last girlfriend.
He went and took a shower and sat down on the couch with a beer. His cell phone rang and he answered smiling.
"Hey, how's it going?"
"Good. We need to talk. I'm on my way over." Alex didn't have time to talk after the caller hung up.
Holly Orton sat in her apartment after working her twelve hour shift. She was glad for the weekend off. She loved working in the NICU. She checked her messages at home and saw she had one from her mom about a mother/daughters outing and then she had one from her trainer at the gym. He wanted to make sure she was coming in that night to train. She called him back and told him she was. She then called her current boyfriend, Josh but didn't get an answer. She wondered if he was cheating again. She had caught him in bed with a friend of theirs. He apologized and she agreed to give him another chance as long as he promised it wouldn't happen again but she had a feeling he still was.
But Josh had been just one guy in a long line of losers that had lost interest and went somewhere else for comfort. She shook her head. She wanted something like Randy and Dena had. Something like Amber was developing with Teddy. At least Randy respected him even if he didn't like the fact that he was a cop. He was really going to flip when they told him the news. That they were getting married. Holly sighed. She wanted that for herself.
She looked at the time and got ready to go work out. Josh had wanted her to quit the gym after she slept with her trainer after finding Josh in bed with AJ. But she refused to do that. Her trainer was one of the best in the city and at the gym. She wasn't going to give that up because Josh wanted her too. She liked training with Dave.
Alex sat looking at his godfather who had come over. "So, what's so important John?"
"Got a few prospects for contracts coming up. Thought we could refer them to your firm." Alex nodded.
"I would appreciate the business and I'm sure Chris and. Wade would too."
"Where's Brie?"
"We broke up. She moved back to Arizona with her sister."
"I'm sorry about that son. But she wasn't a good fit in our family anyway."
"I've got a date set up for tomorrow. My buddy Randy from the gym is setting me up with his sister Holly Orton."
"Orton? Got an Orton who works on the force. Works Robbery/Homicide."
"That'd be the one. He's got another sister named Amber. She's pretty cute too but I think she's involved with a cop. DiBiase or something."
"I know DiBiase." John replied. "Well if she is pretty, she would be perfect in our family because she is an Orton. Bob Orton is one of the finest officers the department ever had. And as the current police commissioner, he is good too. Once he retires, I'm in line for the police commissioner job. I'm ready to move up from captain. So, if it works out, that would help me get the job based on his recommendation."
"We will just have to see how it goes. It's only the first introduction."
"I have faith in you Alex, my boy." John said standing up. He hugged his godson and walked to the door. "Your parents would be proud of the young man you have become."
"Thanks."
Amber and Ted pulled up in front of the house the next day and Amber bit her lip. Ted looked over at her and smiled at her.
"Are you okay?" She nodded.
"Yeah. Just a little nervous. Randy's going to flip." She said. "But it doesn't matter to me. I love you and I want to marry you. However he reacts, nothing's going to change that."
He smiled and got out the car. He walked around and opened her door and they headed into Randy's house. She saw from the cars that her parents and Holly were already there.
Holly was in the kitchen helping Dena with some of the food when Amber and Ted walked in. She smiled when she saw her sister.
"Hey you" She said walking over and hugging her. "Dad is outside with Randy."
"I'm going to join them." Ted kissed Amber and walked out the glass doors to where Randy and Bob were.
"So, are you going to tell your brother about the rock on your hand?" Dena asked her sister in law.
"Yeah. And I know he's going to freak out. I still don't understand what he has against Ted."
"Well, finding the two of you in bed that one time didn't help."
"He should have knocked."
They laughed just as the doorbell rang. "That must be Randy's guest." Dena said walking to get the door.
Holly and Amber looked at each other. "What guest?" Amber asked. Holly shrugged her shoulders.
"Everyone this is Alex Riley." Dena said to them. "Alex, this is Elaine, Randy's mother, and Amber and Holly, Randy's sisters."
"Nice to meet you all." Alex said politely just as Randy walked in.
"Alex, glad you came. Lunch is ready everyone."
They all walked out to the patio and took their seats. Holly and Amber wondered why Randy invited someone but Alex seemed nice and the reason would come out as always.
