Chapter 20 – Maria's Tasty Idea

Randy took a shower to wash off the chlorine from his body as well as his hair and then got into his black muscle shirt and pants and then went downstairs to meet his father in the living room. Before he got to the stairs, he discovered a sudden change from his room, the hallway and of course the stairs where surprisingly, he didn't slip off. It was completely dry.

Maria was still in the bathroom so she couldn't have been the one who done it. When he got to the living room, the Legend Killer had a surprise look on his face when he spotted his father mopping.

"Dad, you did all this?"

"If you're referring to me mopping this part of the living room, the stairs and all the way up to your room, then yes I did."

"That was quick!"

"Well I learned that from your mother," Bob grinned. "What would she say if she sees me cleaning up after you?"

"Uh…" Randy went deep into thought and then answered. "I think I have a pretty good idea."

They laughed as Bob took one last squeeze of the sponge mop to drain out the water into the bucket. Now the floor was dry and shiny like it should have been before Randy got it wet.

"I should have done that but thanks Dad."

"No problem. I do hope you won't let this happen again."

"I won't."

Bob shook his head. "I wonder what has gone wrong with your head tonight."

Randy laughed and he took the mop from him and then picked up the bucket. "I guess I have a lot on my mind."

"And a lot would mean one thing."

"What?"

"Don't tell me you don't know what I mean."

"No I…"

He paused. He looked at his father who then made a grin at him. Why does he have a feeling that he knew the answer to his own question?

"If you're talking about Maria-"

"We have a winner!" Bob proclaimed like a game show host on television.

Randy laughed. "You're something else, Dad."

"So, am I right or am I right?"

His son grinned. "I'll be right back."

Bob had his arms folded and made a tap with his foot. "That doesn't answer my question!"

"What was the question you asked?"

Randy made a smirk before turning back to the back door to drain out the water from the bucket. Bob shook his head and laughed at the thought that his son dodged himself from a question he didn't want to answer.

"Oh well, I'll find out soon enough anyway."

Maria got dressed in her pink tank top and a comfortable pair of khaki shorts. It was a lovely idea to take a bubble bath for it was very relaxing and soothing. Now her body was pure and fresh and has obtained a scent of strawberries. She brushed her hair and it would fell loosely on her shoulders. She opened her suitcase and took out her Apple laptop and opened it up on her bed in front of her. After waiting for it to boot and to take in her personal password, she finally got on it and then signed on into her instant messenger. Ha it worked! She has got access to the internet through wireless connections! Randy's house was surely the best she has ever been into!

As usual, her inbox would appear empty but she didn't mind a bit since it was only been a week. Then a chat window popped up with a message before her under the name of Sweet Kisses with two hearts on either side of the name.

Hey Ria!

That person had a display picture of an adorable little white Maltese. Maria smiled at the name and instantly replied the person's message with a simple:

Hey!

We got your text message, glad to hear you guys got there safely. So how are you guys doing?

We're fine and how are you girls?

We're good. Just came back from clubbing.

Maria laughed and then typed back with:

Lol, clubbing?

Yeah, lol. Me, Candy, Micks and John went out to this club in Time Square. We had so much fun without you and Randy! Ha ha!

Lol, I hope you guys didn't come back to the hotel drunk.

Nah, John took very good care of us and made sure we weren't too crazy so we're safe.

LOL, aren't you lucky to have him around?

Yep, lol.

The young Diva laughed. She missed those Divas so much already. She could have imagined what fun they had over in the world's most famous city.

Then she got another message.

So what are you up to?

Nothing much really. I just came on to check my email as usual. I was about to give you guys a call after I'm done though.

Oh well no need for that. The girls said hi!

Lol, okay and tell them a big HI back!

I just did lol. Sooooo… you got any hot fresh updates for us?

LOL, what do you mean by hot?

Well, you're at Randy's aren't you?

Maria rolled her eyes and shook her head and then continued on typing her message.

Lol. So what do you expect me to say? That I kissed him?

Ummm...well something like that would be nice yeah, lol.

Lol.

Maria thought about that kiss at the pool and wondered if she should tell them or not. It would be funny to do that since she couldn't really express herself properly if it's only words she had to use.

So she typed a next message.

Well to be honest…we actually did.

Maria waited to get a reply, which the message read:

Hold on a sec. DON'T GO ANYWHERE!

Maria laughed at the part that was typed in caps lock. Then at the bottom of the chat window, it stated that 'Sweet Kisses is typing out a message' which obviously meant that she came back at a short time and was now in the middle of typing out a new message.

Okay, Candy and Micks are now on my bed as the witnesses of this conversation.

The young Diva couldn't help but laugh. She could imagine the look on their faces right now!

Then Torrie said:

SO ARE YOU SERIOUS???? YOU GUYS KISSED?????

Yeah, we did.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoa, hold on! Before you guys said anything else, it wasn't intended to happen!

Ria, don't spoil it for us.

But it's true!

So you're saying it was an accident?

I don't know if you could call it that but I guess, yeah.

ARE YOU CRAZY???

Maria sighed and hit her head onto the bed. They just won't get it.

Look, it just happened out of nowhere. We were at the pool and we were just fooling around and then...we kissed.

Okay, hold on a sec. I'm typing out something from all three of us.

Then a new message appeared seconds later.

AWWW! How beautiful! A wet kiss! Absolutely perfect!

Maria made a groan at this message she read and typed back a reply.

It wasn't like that at all!

Come on Ria, 'fess up. We know you like him and it's time to let your feelings show.

But I don't know what I feel for him. I mean yeah he's a great guy and all, but I just don't know.

Hold on a sec. We're going to take turns typing. My fingers are starting to hurt. So you'll be talking to Micks now.

Okay.

Maria waited until she got another message along with a smiley face.

Hey girl!

Hey Micks.

You totally got yourself confused, huh?

It's not like I want to be like this! I just don't know what to think of it up to this point!

So umm, where's Randy now?

He's downstairs with his father at the moment. Oh and he's very nice to me by the way. They're in the living room talking right now I believe.

Oh cool! You get to meet another Hall of Famer in person!

That was true now Maria thought of it. She already met Jim Ross and 'The King' and now she has met another wrestling legend.

Yeah. He came when we're at the pool.

You mean when the kiss happened?

Yeah.

Ohhhhh, that explains it, lol. You guys didn't get a chance to talk about it.

Maria found her head on the surface of the bed again. She looked up and saw a next message.

Okay, it's Candy's turn now! I just got a call-in from Andrew! I'll talk to you later okay? Bye honey!

Maria sighed and replied with:

Okay.

The young Diva wished she didn't come online so the divas wouldn't find out like this.

Hey there, Candy here.

Hey.

Okay just to keep it simple. Just talk to Randy as soon as you two are alone again.

Yeah, that like would be easy to do. I'm just being sarcastic here since I can't express myself properly on this thing.

I figured that, lol. Anyway, that's the only best thing to do.

Maria didn't like the idea at all. Could that be her only option?

I don't know…

Just talk to him.

Her eyes were now stuck on those words she read. 'Just talk to him.' Soon her mind drifted back to that kiss with Randy. Maybe it wasn't love but some sort of attachment? Could she be attached to him and the same with Randy to feel attached to her? Those few days that passed went so fast and they have already gotten along so well like they were long lost friends when in truth they've only met last week.

Okay…

Oh by the way, you got him anything for the bet?

That suddenly struck her. She completely forgot about that.

Oh I forgot about that.

Thank you for the reminder? Lol.

Maria made a grin and typed out:

Yeah, lol. I have no idea what to do though. The only cheesy idea I got in mind was cooking.

AWWW! What a great idea!

You think so?

Yeah! Then you can show off your cooking skills to him, lol.

Lol. Okay, now the mentioning of cooking makes me hungry, lol.

Suddenly a new thought came to the young Diva's mind and quickly typed:

Do you think I should make dinner? We haven't eaten yet.

Maria waited a bit for a replay which read:

OF COURSE! YES!

The young Diva laughed and her fingers would be running through her keyboard once again.

Lol, alright. So that would be my surprise for him.

Awesome!

The young Diva smiled at the thought of her idea.

Okay, if I have to cook dinner, I better get myself to the kitchen pronto! So I'll talk to you guys later.

Alright, lol. Have fun! Um okay this is weird, lol. Torrie and Mickie are both onto their own phones right now, lol. Talking to their guy friends, if you know what I mean.

Lol, yeah I got you.

Tell Randy we said good night!

I will. Good night and sweet dreams.

The same goes to you too, girly. Later!

Maria smiled at the last message and then closed her chat windows and got off her instant messenger. She closed her laptop, leaving it on to a hibernate mode and got up from her bed with one thing in mind that got her to forget about the kiss for the moment.

And that would be to see what she could get in the kitchen cupboards and to surprise Randy with a cooked dinner.
