Chapter 2 - When Kate Met Randy
NOTE: There are some conversations later in this chapter in French and I have put the English translations in bold underneath each said phrase.
"Katherine Allegra Wilson!" Randy Orton exclaimed as he fiddled with his car keys in his hand "If you don't get out here in one minute I'm going to have to drag your ass down here myself!"
Randy sighed. RAW was touring in the Toluca Lake area for the next month, so Randy had decided he would be staying at home during the time and simply travelling to each arena separately. That way he could spend nights after Monday Night RAW in his own bed, in his own house, and he could also be spending maximum time with his best friend at the same time.
Kate had taken the liberty to invite herself to the live RAW show this evening which was taking place in Los Angeles tonight. She claimed that if Randy spent his days off accompanying her to her photo shoots (mainly to scout the talent and check out hot models in bathing suits or, if he was lucky, lingerie), then she should at least get the opportunity to do the same and get to come to work with him. Randy had certainly questioned her reasons for wanting to come and watch sweaty men beat each other to a bloody pulp, as he knew that wrestling wasn't exactly Kate's thing, but she said she wanted to "see him in action for once" and "come and support him." Randy was thankful that although Kate wasn't a big fan of wrestling, she had learnt to accept the fact that this was the career that Randy wanted and this was his passion. Although she didn't fancy it, she accepted it and tried to support Randy as much as possible, which was the other reason why she'd jump at the opportunity to go to the local gym with Randy until late last year when the two had stocked their money together and decided to turn one of the rooms downstairs in their house into a gym.
"I'm coming Orton!" Kate suddenly exclaimed, causing Randy to snap out of his thoughts "Keep your panties on, dearest!"
Randy laughed at the sight of his best friend as she slammed the front door behind her and made her way, as quickly as possible, down the front stairs towards him. Her handbag was yet to be zipped up and was already overflowing with things, most likely 5 different shades of lip gloss - Randy could never understand that about women. (Women and their lip gloss) She had one of her iPod earphones in her ear while the actual iPod was attached to her short frilly white skirt that sat perfectly on her slender hips, teamed with a simple apple green singlet top. Randy couldn't understand how she was managing to run down the front stairs in the height of her matching green stiletto heels, or how she could actually see the steps infront of her through the curtain of her chestnut brown hair that was down and loose. Finally ceasing her run, the brunette stopped dead infront of the Legend Killer and flashed him a smile.
"Ready to go then?" Kate asked innocently, after she quickly straightened herself up, smoothing out her singlet top.
Randy Orton rolled his eyes at his best friend as he opened his car door and motioned in the direction of the passenger's seat.
"Get in the car loser," he said "Or we're going to be late."
"Aye aye captain!" Kate replied, saluting the 3rd generation superstar, earning a small laugh from him as she scurried over to the passenger's side of Randy's blue Mercedes and quickly hopped into the car. Randy followed suite as he also hopped into his car, started the engine and headed off in the direction of the arena for Monday Night RAW.
Randy and Kate had been only driving a few minutes when Kate's cell phone started ringing. The polyphonic version of the Pussycat Dolls's Beep sounding in the brunette's handbag.
"You and that bloody song!" Randy said shaking his head "I swear you and your bloody pop music is going to drive me bonkers!"
"I think that might be one of my many boyfriends, begging me to take them out tonight," Kate said arrogantly as she ignored Randy's commented completely as she retrieved her small flip phone from her purse.
"Hello, sexiest woman on the planet speaking," Kate said, flipping over her cell phone and looking over at Randy as she saw the young man roll his eyes at her.
"Salut ma cherie!" The female voice on the other end exclaimed.
"Hello my darling!" The female voice on the other end exclaimed.
Kate broke out into a smile as she recognised the voice on the other line.
"Salut ma puce, ca va?" Kate replied.
"Hi sweetie, how are you?" Kate replied.
"She's speaking French again," Randy commented as he realised exactly who was on the phone "Must mean she's talking about me again, as usual."
Kate rolled her eyes at the 3rd generation superstar as she continued to focus her attention on her phone call.
"Oui, et toi ma jolie soeur?" The voice replied.
"Well, and you my pretty sister?" The voice replied.
"Oui, ca va," Kate replied, as she started fiddling with the hem of her skirt "Je suis en train de conduire avec ton frere."
"Yes, I'm well," Kate replied, as she started fiddling with the hem of her skirt "I am in the middle of driving with your brother."
"Ou?" The voice inquired curiously.
"Where?" The voice inquired curiously.
"J'ai decide que je veux aller avec Randy a Monday Night RAW ce soir," Kate explained to the person on the other line, as she looked out the window at the houses passing by her car window "Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais j'ai juste decide cet apres-midi, pour supporter le pauvre garcon quand il (fights) un autre grand homme!"
"I decided I want to go with Randy to Monday Night RAW tonight," Kate explained to the person on the other line, as she looked out the window at the houses passing by her car window "I don't know why, but I just decided this afternoon, to support the poor boy when he fights another huge man!"
"Oui, il aime beaucoup (to fight) les grand hommes!" The voice replied with a small laugh.
"Yes, he really likes to fight the big guys!" The voice replied with a small laugh.
"Bien sur, parce que il dit que "je ne perd pas et je toujours gagne" " Kate said, putting on her best Randy impersonation, causing a laugh from the person on the other line.
"Of course, because he says "I am not scared and I always win" " Kate said, putting on her best Randy impersonation, causing a laugh from the person on the other line.
"Hello Rebecca!" Randy called out, addressing his little sister on the phone.
Kate turned to face Randy before speaking into her cell once more.
"Randy dit bonjour a toi, Becks," Kate said.
"Randy says hello to you, Becks," Kate said.
"Alors, dit bonjour a lui aussi," Becky replied with a small laugh escaping her lips.
"Say hello to him too," Becky replied with a small laugh escaping her lips.
"Becks says hello to you too," Kate replied addressing Randy.
"Thank you Katherine," Randy replied with a smile.
"You're welcome Randall," Kate replied smiling back at him.
"Est-ce qu'il conduit en ce moment?" Becky spoke again.
"Is he driving at the moment?" Becky spoke again.
"Bien sur!" Kate exclaimed, a small laugh escaping her lips as she could never imagine herself driving Randy anywhere "Je ne peux pas conduire avec lui, surtout quand c'est le Mercedes. Il adore cette voiture plus de vie!"
"Of course!" Kate exclaimed, a small laugh escaping her lips as she could never imagine herself driving Randy anywhere "I can't drive with him, especially when it's the Mercedes. He loves that car more than life!"
Becky laughed in response and Kate laughed along.
"What are you two going on about?" Randy inquired, curious and nosey about what the two girls were laughing about.
"Becks," Kate said "Randy veut savoir pourquoi nous sommes rire."
"Becks," Kate said "Randy wants to know why we are laughing."
"C'est normale, non?" Becky replied "Il est toujours curieux."
"It's normal though, isn't it?" Becky replied "He's always curious."
"Oui, c'est vrai," Kate replied, nodding her head.
"Yes, that's true," Kate replied, nodding her head.
"We're laughing at you Randy dearest," Kate said with a smile as she addressed her best friend, who was driving along the main street in Toluca Lake "We're laughing at your impeccable style and your underlying metrosexuality."
"Oh, is that so, Katherine?" Randy inquired with a cocked eyebrow at the brunette, though his eyes were still solely focussed on the road.
"Oui, [Yes,]" Kate replied with a smile, before resuming her conversation with the younger Orton sister.
"Donc," Kate replied "La famille ca va?"
"So," Kate replied "The family is well?"
"Oui, toute la famille," Becky replied "Maman est tres contente que tu et Randy avez decide venir chez nous pour les derniere vacances."
"Yes, all the family," Becky replied "Mum is very happy that you and Randy have decided to come to our place for the next holidays."
"Oui, bien sur parce que je suis la fille preferee!" Kate replied with a laugh.
"Yes, of course because I am the favourite daughter!" Kate replied with a laugh.
"C'est impossible Mademoiselle Katherine," Becky replied "Maman m'aime plus de toi et Randy en ensemble!"
"It's impossible Miss Katherine," Becky replied "Mom loves me more than you, and Randy together!"
"Becky, honey!" Kate heard a voice in the background say "Are you on the phone?"
"Une minute Katie," Becky said into the receiver.
"One minute Katie," Becky said into the receiver.
"Yeah mum, I'm on the phone with Kate," Becky replied, to her mother in the background.
"Oh, I thought I heard you speaking French," Mrs Orton said in the background "Is she on the phone now?"
"Kate, maman veut parler a toi," Becky spoke into the receiver once more.
"Kate, mom wants to speak to you," Becky spoke into the receiver once more.
"Oui, elle veut parler avec la fille preferee!" Kate replied with a laugh.
"Yes, she wants to speak with the favourite daughter!" Kate replied with a laugh.
"Sure, sure," Becky replied "Tu est tres arrogante maintenant, c'est le mal influence de mon frere bien sur!"
"Sure, sure," Becky replied "You're arrogant now, it's the bad influence of my brother for sure!"
"Bien sur ma puce!" Kate replied with a laugh.
"Of course sweetie!" Kate replied with a laugh.
"Alors, a bientot," Becky replied "Gros bisous!"
"Anyway, see you later," Becky replied "Big kisses!"
"Au revoir, at bises!" Kate replied before she heard Mrs Orton's voice in the receiver.
"Bye, and kisses!" Kate replied before she heard Mrs Orton's voice in the receiver.
"Au revoir, Becks!" Randy exclaimed in the direction of the receiver, earning him a laugh
Kate burst into laughter at the sound of Randy's voice, completely forgetting that she was still on the phone. Randy pouted as he looked at his best friend.
"What was that for?" Randy inquired, pretending to look hurt.
"Katherine, was that Randy trying to speak French?" Mrs Orton spoke into the receiver.
"Yes, unfortunately so Elaine," Kate said, still half laughing at the 3rd generation superstar.
"Please, tell the poor boy to stick to English, will you dear?" Elaine laughed.
Kate started laughing again as she turned to face a still pouting Randy Orton.
"I'm sorry hun," Kate said through her giggles "But your mum thinks that you should stick to English."
"Now that's not very nice mother!" Randy exclaimed, loud enough for his mother to hear it.
Kate held out the phone to Randy as she continued to laugh. The brunette holding her cell phone against the Legend Killer's ear so he could have a proper conversation with his mother.
"Sorry sweetheart, but that's what mothers do," Elaine replied with a small laugh "I'm only looking out for your best interests."
"Sure you are mom," Randy replied, still not sounding impressed "I think this Miss Wilson's a bad influence on you, turning you all against me."
"Hey!" Kate exclaimed in defence of herself.
"Oh, stop being a pansy Randall," Elaine said, half laughing at the childishness of her son.
"You're calling me a pansy now?" Randy said in disbelief into the receiver, causing Kate to break out into laughter again "That's definately her bad influence once again!"
Kate removed the phone from Randy's ear as she tried to calm herself down.
"Did you really call him a pansy Elaine?" Kate said through her laughter as she resumed her conversation with Mrs Orton.
"Oh, he knows I'm only joking," Mrs Orton replied, shaking it off "So, how are you Katherine darling?"
"Fantastic Elaine, how are things at home?" Kate replied with a smile.
Kate always loved speaking to Elaine Orton. Elaine had been the mother she'd never had, or in fact the mother she'd never known. Kate's mother had died giving birth to her, so she'd been denied any chance of getting to know the woman who brought her into this world. She'd never known it, but apparently her father had never been the same since Kate's mother's death. He had lost the woman he loved and was left to raise a newly born daughter all by himself. It couldn't have possibly been easy. It was obviously too much for such a young man of merely 21 years. It was too much that Kate was the splitting image of her mother. The same green eyes and the same perfect flawless beauty. Her ability to light up a room with a simply smile. Everyday became a reminder to him of his true love when he looking at his daughter. When Tom Wilson had met and fallen in love with the future Ally Wilson, little did he know that 12 months later he would have lost the love of his life and would have gained a beautiful daughter of his own.
Kate couldn't really blame her father for taking his own life when she was 7 years old. It wasn't an act of selfishness or merely a means of escaping the pressures and responsibilities of parenthood. He'd become a shadow of his former self and he'd lost half of him when Ally had died. It was hard to comprehend the notion of suicide at 7 years old, and at the beginning she couldn't understand why her father wouldn't be coming home from work that day. She couldn't understand where he was and she couldn't understand why he had left her alone. Katherine Allegra Wilson had found herself alone. No mother or father.
She liked the cowboy hat from the get go and therefore Kate had fallen in love with Bob Orton the moment she met him. He was her father's best mate and Kate's godfather, and now he had become her legal guardian. Him and his wife Elaine hadn't given a second thought to making a space in their home for Kate, especially after learning what had become of her father and that she had no other relatives that she could seek refuge with.
"Just great," Elaine replied happily "We can't wait to have you and Randy home for the next holidays. It will be great! The whole family together again!"
Kate smiled to herself as she listened to the sound of Elaine's voice. The Orton's had become her clearly remember the day that she walked into the Orton's house for the first time. Dressed in her best bright blue sun dress with her long chestnut curls neatly tied at the back of her head. The people from child services had suggested she dress neatly and prim to make a good first impression on her new family. She remembers the exact moment she walked into the Orton house, Elaine slightly infront of her leading her into the house, with Bob just behind her with her suitcases full of her belongings.
FLASHBACK!
The 7 year old's bright green eyes darted from each corner to the next of the Orton house. It was at least triple the size of her old house. The house she'd shared with her father for all her life until now. This was her new home now.
The walls were painted a deep orange and the sunlight coming through the glass windows emulated a warm feeling in the room, giving it that touch of cosiness that Kate Wilson liked instantly. The room looked spotlessly clean and not a single thing was out of place. The 7 year old continued to look around the room as she started to wander about the living room.
"Your house is really really nice!" Kate commented as she turned to face Elaine Orton.
"That's very sweet Kate, I'm glad you like it," Elaine replied with a smile on her face "Bob's going to put your things upstairs in your bedroom, and I'll show you where it is when you're ready."
"OK, thank you," Kate said nodding as she continued to wander around the living room, Elaine watched her closely with a smile on her face at the curiosity of the young girl.
"MOMMY!" A voice suddenly screaming, splitting the silence and calm atmosphere that had formed in the living room.
Both Kate and Elaine had jumped at the sudden scream and turned in the direction of the sound.
"MOMMY! MOMMY! MOMMY!" The voice screamed again, and suddenly a small girl ran into the room and immediately into her mother. The little girl look about the same age as Kate and Kate watched her closely as she tightly embraced Elaine, who appeared to be her mother. The girl looked like she'd been playing outside, suggested by the state of her clothes, her messy dark brown hair, and the numerous dirt and grass stains on her exposed knees and light blue T-shirt.
"Becky, what on earth is wrong now?" Elaine said, half way between panic and annoyance as she looking down at her daughter.
"It's Randy mommy!" Becky exclaimed as she pointed in the direction she'd just come from.
It was no sooner than Becky had pointed that an older boy appeared in the direction. His short dark hair was all messed up and his clothes were wearing the same grass and dirt stains that Becky had.
"I didn't do anything mom!" The boy exclaimed in defence as Becky hugged her mother tightly, appearing afraid of the boy.
"He's lying mommy!" Becky exclaimed in retaliation as she glared at the older boy "Randy's putting wrestling moves on me!"
"Randy!" Elaine exclaimed at the young boy.
"What?" The boy exclaimed, pretending to be innocent "I wasn't hurting her, honest mom!"
"Randy, what did I say about wrestling with your sister? Elaine said shaking her head at the same boy, that Kate had gathered was Randy.
"But we were only playing and then she starting being a cry baby!" Randy said defending himself.
"I am not a cry-baby!" Becky exclaimed at her brother as she poked her tongue out Randy.
"Are too!" Randy said back poking his tongue back out at her.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too! Cry baby! Cry baby!"
"Mommy Randy's being mean!"
"Cry baby! Cry baby!'
"You two stop it!" Elaine exclaimed, causing the two children to stop their verbal abuse on each other "Now where is your brother?"
"I dunno," Randy said shrugging, seeming unworried about the whereabouts of his brother.
"Randy!" Elaine exclaimed at her son.
"OK, OK, Mom, chill out!" Randy said "Nate's probably still out back with the dogs."
"Randall you can't leave him outside all by himself with the dogs!" Elaine exclaimed at Randy as she started to head for the back door "And I hope you haven't been wrestling him either otherwise you're in big trouble mister!"
As soon as Elaine had made her way outside to find her youngest son, Randy started making faces.
"Otherwise you're in big trouble mister!" Randy said mocking his mother.
"I'm going to tell mom on you!" Becky exclaimed at her brother as she watched him mock their mother.
"Yeah right," Randy said poking his tongue out at his sister.
Randy then stopped dead in his tracks as he noticed Kate for the first time, having been completely oblivious to her presence in the room until that moment. His blue eyes narrowed at her, uncertain of who she was and why she was here, and then started to study her.
"Who are you?" Randy asked.
"Now Randall that's not a very polite way to greet a visitor!" Bob exclaimed at his son as he made his way downstairs, after putting Kate's things in her room.
"I'm Kate," Kate spoke, addressing Randy.
"She's the girl we talked about who was coming to stay with us," Bob explained to Becky and Randy as they continued to stare at Kate.
"Oh yeah," Randy said, obviously remembering that his father that mentioned Kate.
"Now you kids play nice while I go and get lunch ready," Bob said, making his way out of the kitchen, yet not before turned to face Randy "And where is your mother?"
"Outside with Nate," Randy replied before his father nodded and disappeared out of the living room.
"So, how old are you?" Becky asked Kate.
"I'm 7," Kate replied, turning to face the young girl, noticing for the first time the dirt stain on the young girl's nose.
"I'm Randy," Randy said confidently "I'm 9 and this is my sister Becky and she's 2."
"Am not!" Becky exclaimed "I'm 6"
"Well you act like your 2!" Randy tormenting his little sister.
"Do not!" Becky exclaimed back.
"And mom's gone to get our little brother, Nate," Randy added "He's 4, which makes me the oldest."
"OK," Kate replied.
"That's a pretty dress," Becky commented with a smile as she motioned to Kate's blue sun dress.
"Thanks," Kate said with a smile "My daddy gave it to me."
"Where is he?" Randy inquired.
"He's not here," Kate simply said, remembering her father for a moment.
"How come?" Becky asked curiously.
"I don't know," Kate replied.
"Hey, let's go for a grand tour of the house," Randy suddenly commented.
"OK," Kate nodded.
"OK, well everyone follow me," Randy said cockily as he started to lead the two girls.
"No fair, I wanna lead!" Becky exclaimed.
"You're too little to lead!" Randy exclaimed "Plus, I'm the oldest so I get to decide who leads, so I'm leading."
"That's not fair!" Becky pouted.
"Too bad!" Randy exclaimed back.
"Fine, well I'm showing Kate upstairs," Becky commented.
"Nope I am, I already bags it!" Randy exclaimed with a smirk on his face as he turned to face Kate.
END FLASHBACK!
That had been the start of it all. Kate smiled as she remembered.
"Katherine honey are you still there?" Elaine asked.
Kate was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of Elaine's voice. She blinked and shook her head before she focussed her concentration back on the conversation she was having on her cell phone.
"Yes, I'm here Elaine," Kate replied.
"Oh OK," Elaine replied "You just when all quiet I was wondering what was happening."
"Yeah, sorry about that, I just kind of blanked out for a while," Kate explained.
"Well, that's OK," Elaine commented "I just saying that since Randy's going to be bringing Julia to dinner on Friday night that I thought I'd extend the invite to you and a partner of your choice."
"Oh, I don't think that will be necessary Elaine," Kate said with a smile "I'm sure Miss Prissy won't be coming."
"Oh please tell me Randy broke up with her!" Elaine said getting excited.
Kate started to laugh as she looked over at Randy who had turned to face her when she had uttered 'Miss Prissy'.
"Your mum wants to know what the story is with Miss Prissy," Kate explained.
"It's over mum!" Randy exclaimed with a smile.
"Thank heavens!" Elaine exclaimed "I couldn't stand that girl! Tell Randy that I absolutely love him!"
"She loves you Randy," Kate said addressing the 3rd generation superstar.
Randy rolled his eyes as he continued to concentrate on the road ahead of him.
"Trust me I couldn't believe it either!" Kate exclaimed to Elaine.
"Oh, Becky and Nate are going to be over the moon!" Elaine exclaimed excitedly "I honestly can't see what Randy saw in her in the first place."
"A plastic face and a pair of fake boobs?" Kate suggested with a small laugh escaping her lips.
"I heard that Miss Wilson," Randy commented, causing Kate to giggle even more. Elaine soon joining in.
"I really hope he finds someone better next time," Elaine commented.
"I know Elaine," Kate replied "He deserves better than that."
"You know I always said that you and Randy would make the cutest couple," Elaine commented.
"And I always told you that that would be way too weird for words, Elaine," Kate replied.
"What would be weird?" Randy inquired, curiously.
"Nothing, nosey," Kate replied with a smile.
"Well there's always the possibility though," Elaine explained.
"Just possibility Elaine," Kate replied.
"Alright Miss Wilson we are here!" Randy exclaimed as he finally stopped the car and killed the ignition.
Kate looked outside and realised that they had arrived at the arena.
"Elaine, I have to go, we've arrived at the arena," Kate said as she started to unbuckle her seat belt.
"Oh OK dear," Elaine replied "Well, tell Randy I send my love and best wishes for his match tonight, which I will be watching."
"Alright," Kate replied.
"And you keep yourself safe Katherine," Elaine continued "Look after yourself."
"I always do," Kate replied with a smile "Tell Nate and Bob I say hi."
"Will do," Elaine replied "Goodbye Katherine."
"Bye Elaine," Kate replied before she flipped closed her flip phone and placed it back into her handbag.
Kate sighed as she zipped her handbag closed, amazed that the small purse had actually managed to fit all her stuff in it. She immediately turned when her passenger door opened and she smiled at the sight of Randy holding open the car door for her.
"Thank you Randall," Kate said with a smile as she exited the car.
"I'd say ladies first, but we both know you're not a lady... ow!" Randy commented, earning him a punch in the shoulder.
"You should watch your mouth young Randall," Kate commented as she walked with Randy towards the arena "It'll land you into trouble some day."
"Too late for that," Randy commented.
"Too true," Kate replied shaking her head and smirking at her best friend.
