Oneshot # 14 | Helping Hands


Seventeen year old Eve Torres sat on the bench in front of the large outdoor skating ring. She kicked some snow with her boot, watching it as it flew up in the air and scattered. Why had she even come here? If her parents hadn't told her that she would be disappointing them by being rude she probably would have chosen to stay home.

She felt so pathetic just sitting on the bench, the ice skates her parents had bought her for her cousin AJ's birthday party at the ice skating rink sitting next to her, untouched. She watched as her friends skated around on the pond, laughing and having a good time.

She really wished she had let her father teach her when she was younger, but she had refused. After the time she fell into the pond when she was six and almost drown, she was always afraid the ice would break and she would fall in and no one would be able to save her.

She wasn't ashamed of her fear, but she did feel quite alone sitting on the bench and watching all of her class-mates having a good time.

"Hey, why are you sitting here all alone?"

She looked over into the piercing blue eyes of the school's star football player, and known bad boy, Randy Orton. He had, apparently, stealthily come over and sat beside her. She felt the heat rise in her cheeks as she blushed, not only was she afraid he would make fun of her, she had always had a small crush on Randy Orton.

She shrugged, trying to think of a good excuse but, of course like any other time she was around Randy her ability to concentrate came to a screeching halt. "Can't Skate" she said quietly, looking down at the snow, she didn't want to see the look on his face when he started laughing at her.

"That's not big deal, I could show you how Eve."

She looked up at him surprised, that was not the answer she had been expecting. She watched him curiously for a moment before deciding that he was not messing with her head. "You'd do that for me?"

"Yea, how come you never learned"

She felt her cheeks grow hotter. "Promise you won't make fun of me?" she asked

"I would never make fun of you Eve Torres." He said.

She nodded. "When I was seven, I fell into the pond and I almost drown. My dad has offered to teach me a couple of times but I guess I've always been afraid of falling through the ice and into the water." She said, looking at her hands which were folded on her lap.

"Why would I make fun of you for that" he asked, taking her hand.

She tried to hide the shudder that came over her when he took her hand. She smiled slightly. "Because, Randy, everyone knows you fear nothing." She said. "So I figured you would find it stupid that I was so afraid."

She looked at his blue eyes, it's like he was studying her, trying to make sure he would remember exactly what he was looking at.

"Eve, everyone is afraid of something." He said simply, before letting go of her hand and standing up.

Eve looked up at him, she was just now starting to notice that almost everyone was gone and it was beginning to get dark.

"Why don't you get those skates on and I'll teach you, right now." He said.

"But, it's getting late and the party is over."

"So, we'll have the whole lake to practice and no one will be watching you." He said with an air of finality before turning and walking toward his motorcycle which was parked close by.

She sighed, she didn't have much of a choice, Randy Orton, the man who could either build her confidence up, or take her reputation and tarnish it to hell if he told someone, was going to teach her how to ice-skate.

Eve was standing in the center of the pond, both of her hands in Randy's. He smiled. "Okay Eve, it's not too hard, do you know how to rollerblade?" he asked.

"Yes." She nodded, she tried to keep herself from shaking. She didn't want him to know she was nervous.

"Well it's a lot like that. Okay you ready?" he asked. She nodded.

Within a few minutes she was skating around the pound, lucky for her Randy could skate backwards or she would be in terrible shape. She knew she was smiling; she was excited, she never thought she would be out here.

He smiled and chuckled. "Eve you're doing great. I'm going to let go now and you can skate on your own, I'll be right here, I won't let you fall."

"Randy I don't know if that's a good—" he let go and he was gone. She was skating on her own! She looked around to find him just a little bit behind her.

"You're doing great Eve, you must be a natural." He said smiling.

She smiled back.

Than it happened, she started to fall. She closed her eyes and waited to hit the eyes, praying that the ice wouldn't break.

But she never hit the ice, instead strong arms wrapped around her and held her up. She opened her eyes and found herself staring up into Randy's face.

"I told you I wouldn't let you fall Evie." He said, still holding her up, almost parallel to the ground.

"Thank you Randy" she smiled gratefully.

He smiled back. "I would never let anything happen to you Eve." He said, as he gently pulled her up and kissed her.

She couldn't believe it, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

"I think that's enough for today Miss Torres, why don't we resume this lesson tomorrow, for now, we can go to the café and get a coffee?" he said.

"Randy Orton, are you asking me out on an after ice-skating lesson date?" she asked.

"How did you figure it out Eve?" he chuckled.

"Well, than I would have to agree, a coffee sounds wonderful."
