Randy looks into Melissa's eyes and he feels his heart melt the way it always does. He squeezes her hand a little more but he can tell she is getting impatient. He takes a breath and begins the speech he had practiced so much infront of his mirror today.
"Well baby you know how we talked about the WWE expanding?"
Melissa finds herself very confused and a little hurt this wasn't quite the talk she had been expecting from Randy but he was after all a superstar so she shouldn't be all that suprised and yet she was.
"Yes I remeber that talk Randy why?"
Randy lets go of her hand and looks at her a serious look spreads across his face. Melissa's heart starts to race in her chest as she wonders what in the world is going on. She looks at Randy trying not to let the worry show in her face.
"Baby in our meeting today Vince announced that the WWE will be expanding into Mexico, England, Toyoko, and he is going to choose thirty superstars to go on this tour with him. It would be six months long as we travel these different places."
"Okay Randy that is great news but what does this have to do with you."
Randy pauses and Melissa already knows what is coming. She takes Randy's hand and cuts him off as he begins to speak.
"Baby I know already you were chosen to be the first one to go. I understand what a great opprtunity this is for you and I think you should go."
Randy smiles "baby this is great I am glad you feel that way but that isn't all that I was going to say."
Melissa blushes a little "oh sorry."
Randy laughs leans closer to her over the table.
"No I was going to say and Vince has told us that our loved ones are allowed to come with us if they so desire so baby would you please accompany me?"
Melissa is left speechless she wasn't excpeting this she was actually thinking Randy would have to leave her behind. Melissa's mind is racing around. "Should I go?" Randy just stares at her patient not pushing her. Melissa looks at him and feels her heart skip a beat.
"Randy I would love to go with you."
"Really?"
"Yes of course."
Randy leans across the table and gives her a deep passionate kiss.
"Thank you baby."
The two of them finish eating dinner while going over the fine details. They will be leaving in a few days and will be gone for six months. Randy thinks it would be best for her to quit her job and pay her rent for six months in advance. Melissa laughs and reminds Randy she is only a lonely secretary that dosen't make that much money. Randy reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a check.
"Tommorrow morning before we head to the airport to fly home I want you to call your apartment office give them the check information and pay for six months in advance."
"Randy I can't accept this."
"Of couse you can baby I want to do this for you."
"Okay thank you."
Randy pays the check and the two of them catch a cab back to the hotel room. Melissa sits on the bed and begins taking off her shoes when Randy opens the door carrying two glasses and a bottle of wine.
"I thought we would celebrate this new chapter in our lives."
Randy pops open the bottle and pours each of them a glass. He hands one to Melissa and sits on the bed with the other one.
"I purpose a toast to us, to this new adventure."
They tap glasses and take a sip of the wine. Melissa sits her glass on the nighttable and lies back on the bed. Randy follows her lead and lies down. Melissa cuddles up next to him and he wraps his arms around her. Randy kisses her forehead.
