Sarah sat in the hotel bar just having a glass of wine after dinner with her dad and his new girlfriend. She could never understand why her dad wanted to date someone like Meredith. Meredith was conceited about things and loved to have money spent on her. She knew that Meredith only dated her dad because he was on TV and Sarah hated that fact.
"Well, I never thought you would be here." Mike said sitting down beside her.
"It's not a crime to have a glass of wine." She replied taking a sip.
"No, I guess not. So why aren't you with your dad?"
"His girlfriend, Meredith is visiting and I really don't care for her."
"I can't believe your dad, Jerry Lawler, has a girlfriend." Mike laughed.
"Why is that funny exactly?" She asked turning to face him.
"Well, he's old for one thing."
"Well, anyone can date at any age."
"You're right, sorry if I offended you."
"It's fine." She honestly didn't want to get into anything about her dad with him.
"So, how about you have dinner with me tomorrow night?" He asked very bluntly.
"I don't know. It might not be a good idea."
"Come on. Once you get to know me, you will like me." He said smiling at her. "Come on, one date that's it."
She thought for a minute before she realized he was right. It just was one date.
"Alright. I'll go out with you tomorrow night."
"Great. I will pick you up at seven?"
"How about I meet you in the lobby?" She knew her dad wouldn't be happy and it was better that they met in the lobby.
"Deal. See you then." He kissed her on the cheek and headed up to his room. He was excited that she said yes. Now he could put the plan in motion.
Sarah paid for her drink and then headed up to her room. It was next door to her dad's and had an adjoining door. She walked into the room, drew her a hot bath and got ready for bed. Once she was in bed, she got out her laptop and checked her email. She saw one from Jennie which made her laugh as Jen always did and another from her mom about a dinner. After answering her email, she headed to bed. She was dreading her dad's reaction to her date with Mike.
The next morning, Sarah met her dad and Meredith for breakfast in the hotel restaurant. After ordering she decided to tell her dad about her date with Mike.
"Dad, I wanted to tell you that I'm going out tonight." She said before taking a sip of her coffee.
"With who?" Jerry asked her with some shock. He couldn't imagine who she might be going out with.
"Mike." She said quietly.
"I told you not to go near him."
"Dad, I'm an adult. I can choose my own dates."
"I'm just trying to protect you Sarah. I don't' want you to get hurt."
"I know that. But dad, you can't protect me forever. And it is just one date."
"Okay, it's one date. I think one date with Mike is probably all you can take." He laughed.
"Maybe you're right." She laughed. "But I want to find out. I can't stay single forever and I need to take a chance."
"You do but I just wish it wasn't' with Mike."
"I know but it will be okay."
"I hope so."Jerry let the subject drop as they finished breakfast and he and Meredith headed out to do some sightseeing.
Once her dad had left, Sarah headed to meet up with Eve and Gail for some shopping. She wanted to get a new outfit for her date. After shopping with the girls, she headed back to her room to get ready for her date.
She was soon dressed in a simple black dress as she had no idea where she and Mike were going. She applied her makeup and put her hair up into a French twist. Just as she finished, she heard a knock at her door and figured it was Mike even though she had told him she would meet him in the lobby.
"Wow, you look great." Mike said when he saw her. She really was a beautiful girl.
"Thank you." She said blushing a little. "Let's go."
She grabbed her purse and they headed out. She was shocked when he took her a romantic French restaurant. She wasn't expecting something like that from him.
"Wow, this place is nice." She said as they were shown to their seats.
"I wasn't sure if you liked French food but I took a chance." He said with a smile.
"I like French food." She replied looking over the menu which was in French.
"Are the menus always in French?" He asked.
"Yes, I can read it so do you want me to order you something?"
"Yes anything that is normal and not weird." He laughed.
"Alright." She said looking over the menu.
When the waiter came, she ordered for them both in French. She also ordered a bottle of French wine to go with the meal.
"So, what did you order me?"
"I ordered you steak. You can never go wrong it." She laughed.
"Sounds good. Thank you."
"Not a problem." She was shocked at how nice was. He wasn't anything like her father told her he was.
Their food arrived and they ate and talked while enjoying the food.
"So, you went to Ohio State?" Mike asked as they were eating.
"Yes. I wanted to study journalism and photography and be close to home."
"Do you enjoy your job?"
"I do. I get to travel the world and meet different people. It's great." She took a bite of her salad. "Do you like your job?"
"I do. I always wanted to be a wrestler and now I'm champion what could be better."
She had to laugh at how arrogant he sounded. Exactly like her dad had said. She was surprised at how he could go from being one way to another so quickly.
After dinner, he walked her back to her room. She was pleasantly surprised that she had a good time with him.
"So, would you like to go out again?" He asked as they walked to her room.
"I would like that." She replied before she could even think about it.
"Great. How about the next city we have dinner and maybe a movie?"
"That sounds great." She said as she slipped her key card into the door. She turned to face him. "Mike, I had a great time tonight."
"I did too." He said before he leaned in to kiss her. "Goodnight, Sarah."
She was speechless as he walked away. It was one of the most amazing kisses she had ever experience. But in the back of her mind was her father's warning. Was he really dangerous for her? Was she just something he thought he could use against her dad. She honestly didn't know what the truth was but what she did know was she was going to see where this went one way or the other.
