Saturday: May 9, 2009

I walked through the airport trying to find someone who could help me find my luggage, because it wasn't at the right baggage claim. I looked around and spotted Randy...with my luggage.

"You were supposed to wait for me outside." I say, looking at him.

"I just wanted to help you so we could get to the radio station on time." He replies.

"It's only eight-thirty; the interview is at ten."

"So?"

"Jay and Adam won't be there until nine-forty five."

"So?"

"We're just dropping off my luggage real quick. The hotel is ten minutes from here, and the radio station is only ten minutes from there. We could get there in about a half an hour."

"Okay." He sighed in defeat. "I just wanted some alone time with you before we have to meet up with Adam and Jay at the radio station."

I smile. "That's so sweet, but next time, tell me that you're getting my luggage."

"Sorry."

"I wasn't mad."

"Hello everyone and welcome to Morning Madness in Columbus. I'm Neil Stevenson, your host, and boy do I have a surprise for you fans. We have WWE Wrestlers on Morning Madness. Everyone tweet to me your questions at Morning Madness, no spaces, on Twitter. Now ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the World Heavyweight Champion, Edge." Neil says.

"The World Heavyweight Champion is here!" Adam says.

"The ECW Champion, Christian."

"Sup, WWE Universe." Jay says.

"The WWE Women's Champion, Marissa."

"Hi, guys." I say.

"And the WWE Champion, Randy Orton."

"Welcome to Morning Madness in Columbus on 92.7." Randy says.

"Here is the first question. Randy, who is the more annoying Legacy member, Ted or Cody? Marissa, who is the most annoying teammate Michelle McCool, Eve Torres, or Maryse?"

"Definitely Ted." Randy says.

"Probably Michelle, but don't tell her I said that." I say.

"Randy and Marissa, is it true you are really dating? Edge and Christian, are you in relationships with fellow wrestlers?" Neil asks.

I look at Randy. "Um…"

"It's true." He says. "I've got the best Diva on the WWE roster as my girlfriend now."

"We really are. You're welcome." I say as I blush.

"Edge and I are single pringles." Jay says as he chuckles.

"That we are." Adam says as he tries not to laugh at me and Randy.

"Christian, is Edge the best tag team partner you've had? And is Christian the same for you, Edge?" Neil asks.

"Yes, Edge is the best tag team partner I've had." Jay says.

"He and Randy are tied for best." Adam says.

"Randy, have you apologized to Marissa for the injury you caused her in 2006? Edge and Christian, did either of you offer advice to Marissa about dealing with injuries when it happened?" Neil asks.

I laugh. "Yeah, Randy, have you?"

Randy rolls his eyes. "I am sorry about that, and Marissa knows that. But just so we can all verify that," Randy grabs my face and turns me towards him. "Marissa, oh my sweet, beautiful Marissa, I am sincerely sorry that I didn't let you know in advance that I was going to RKO you and cost you seven months of your career with a neck injury. And then being rude after that, including not visiting you in the hospital."

I smile. "I guess I'll forgive you."

Adam smiles. "I just reminded Marissa that there was a light at the end of the tunnel while she was injured. I did visit her multiple times while she was in the hospital though."

Jay nods. "I told her to work towards her return so she could kick Randy's ass."

"Everyone, have you had any relationships in the past with fellow WWE wrestlers?" Neil asks.

"Trish Stratus." Jay says.

"Lita, Torrie Wilson, and Trish Stratus" Adam says.

"Stacy Keibler." Randy says.

"Chris Jericho. It was terrible." I say.

"Marissa, why was dating Chris Jericho terrible? Who's your real life best friend?" Neil asks.

"I'm not going to go into details about mine and Chris Jericho's relationship. Sorry. I don't have just one best friend. Michelle, Maryse, and Eve all are my best friends. I'm also close with Alicia Fox, Layla, Kelly Kelly, and Candice Michelle." I say.

"This is our last tweet we have time for." Neil says.

"Marissa, who's your worst enemy? Randy and Christian, who are your favorite people to work with? Edge, good luck against Jeff Hardy at Judgment Day."

"That's hard. Melina or Morgan probably." I say.

"My girlfriend is real fun to work with." Randy says.

I roll my eyes. "Stop it, Randy."

Jay laughs. "Adam, or Edge, of course."

"I don't need luck." Adam says.

"Bye Everyone. See you tomorrow on Morning Madness in Columbus with John Cena, Mickie James, Maryse, and Batista."

Randy, Adam, Jay, and I all leave the radio station together.

"So…" Jay says. "How about we all go grab lunch together?"

"Yeah. That's good with me." I reply.

"Actually…" Randy starts.

"What's wrong?"

"Well…I um…I was kinda hoping…hoping to take you out to lunch."

"Why can't Adam and Jay come?"

"Well…"

Adam starts laughing. "Rissa, sweet, sweet Rissa, the man is trying to take you on a date."

"I don't think…" I stop in the middle of my sentence. "Oh my god, Randal! Why didn't you say something earlier?"

"I was trying to surprise you." Randy puts a hand on my shoulder. "I mean we've been a couple for five days now, and I've been a horrible boyfriend and not taken you on an official date yet."

Jay laughs. "It's cool. You two have your date. I'll take Adam with me to lunch."

"Sorry." I say. "Maybe we can all grab lunch tomorrow."

"Yeah. Unless Randy decides to make plans again."

Randy rolls his eyes. "I won't. Can't y'all just let me have one date with my girlfriend?"

Adam sighs. "I guess."

"But wait." Jay says. "Since you two are a couple now, I think we have to do something."

"Yeah." Adam says before getting in Randy's face. "Randal, do you have good intentions with our Marissa?"

Randy tries not to laugh. "I only have the purest of intentions with your friend."

"Okay…" Jay starts. "Randy, you got a good paying job? If you're going to support our Marissa, you've got to have a good paying job."

"I have a job that pays plenty. Don't worry, Jay."

Adam looks at Randy. "What about your family? Do you come from a good family?"

"Well I certainly think so."

Jay laughs. "You aren't just trying to get our Marissa in bed. Are you, Randal?"

"No, unless she wants to. In that case, let me know, babe." Randy winks at me.

"Randal-"

"Guys," I say. "Leave him alone. We're fine. Randy and I are fine. And he has good intentions. As much as I appreciate it, he doesn't need to be grilled."

Adam sighs. "Sorry we just gotta be overprotective after your last relationship."

I smile. "As much as I appreciate it, you are not grilling Randy like that."

Randy slips an arm around my waist. "As happy as I am to know you care about her, there's nothing to worry about. And yeah I like sex, but if I can have her as my girlfriend then I can wait to have sex until she wants to. I won't be cheating to get laid."

I let a small smile grow on my face as I look over at Randy and realize I'm head-over-heels for him. "As much as I am enjoying this conversation, I believe I'm getting my first date with Randy, and I'd like to get there."

Randy pulls me closer. "Me too."

"Okay." Jay says. "Have fun!"

"Don't do anything stupid!" Adam says.

Randy and I both laugh and roll our eyes. He grabs my hand, and we walk to the car.

He opens the passenger side door. "Ma'am, please enter."

I smile as I enter the car. "Thank you, sir."

Randy shuts the door behind me before entering on the other side. "No problem."

Randy pulls the car out of the parking lot.

"So…" I start to ask. "Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise."

"Honestly that worries me."

"Why?"

"Because sometimes you do crazy shit."

"I'm not going to do anything crazy. I'm taking you on a date."

"Um…okay, Randy."

He pulls up to a small cafe. "We're here."

"How'd you find this place?" I ask Randy.

Randy parks the car. "I did some looking around while I was here in the city and you weren't."

I smile. "Well I like this. I like this a lot."

"Good. Let's go in."

"Okay."

Randy and I sit at a table in a corner of the cafe. After we order our food and drinks, Randy looks at me with a weak smile.

He grabs both of my hands. "I know this isn't really all that fancy or anything, but I'm really enjoying this. I'm trying to make this as special as it can be. This is important for us. Honestly, I was pretty nervous while planning this out for you. Hell, I was nervous while driving you here."

"Wait, I've known you for almost fifteen years now, and you're nervous about doing something with me? That's crazy. You aren't even the nervous type." I say as he continues to hold my hands.

"Over those fifteen years, it was different than it is now. At first, it was Tyler's bratty little sister. Then, it was as a friend. Then, a coworker that was still a friend. Then, the coworker who I fought with all the time. Then, the coworker I have to try to get along with while rooming together. And now, we're dating. This is different than any kind of relationship we've had with each other before."

I nod. "Fair enough. Speaking of Tyler, how are we gonna tell him?"

"I'll worry about that when we actually see him."

I smile. "Okay. Anyway, I actually really like this. It's not too fancy. Just cute and simple. Which is fine for a first date."

"Good. I'm glad you like it. And honestly after earlier, I'm glad we're doing this before eating with Adam and Jay."

"Yeah. They were pretty rough on you."

"Yeah. But I'll handle it since it's about you."

A waitress drops off our food and drinks, and we start to eat.

"So…" I start. "I know we like just started dating, but I feel like maybe there's this thing we should talk about now."

Randy nods. "Okay. What is it?"

"Sex. I mean not to make it weird or anything, but we've slept together quite a few times already. Do we wait still or what?"

Randy shrugs. "I don't know. I see your point. Honestly I've been thinking about it too. Do we just start now or what? Our situation with that is a little weird."

My phone goes off with a notification. I frown as I realize it's Stephanie. "Damn it."

"What's wrong, babe?"

"That's the notification sound I set directly for Stephanie. It's definitely from her."

"You think it's about SmackDown?"

"Yeah."

Randy takes my phone and puts it with his. "Then we can worry about it later."

"Okay."

He swipes a fry from my plate. "This ain't ruining our date. Anyway, back to the sex conversation."

"Of course you want to go straight back to that."

Randy rolls his eyes. "Personally, I think it's fine if we just go ahead. I mean we've done it a lot over the years."

I nod. "So many times."

He thinks for a moment. "Let see here. We've got your nineteenth birthday in 2001, those times where it just kinda happened in 2005 and 2006, and that one instance we agreed to not speak of again last year."

"Like I said so many times. You aren't supposed to mention last year though."

"Does that still matter? We're dating now."

"It matters because I'm not proud of why I let it happen."

"But we have to admit it was a good time."

I roll my eyes. "Whatever, Randy."

"So…?"

"I think I agree with you that we should be fine to go ahead."

"Okay. Since you agree, I might have to try to get some as much as I can. I mean you're all mine now so…"

I nod. "Definitely."

Randy smiles. "I hope you're having a good time."

I smile back at him. "I am." I notice fans at a nearby table taking pictures of us. "Of course. Ugh."

Randy looks where I'm looking. "Fans. I'll be back."

"Where are you-"

"I'm taking care of this."

"Oh. Okay."

I watch as Randy approaches the fans and appears to lecture them. After he finishes, he walks back to the table, kissing my forehead before sitting back down.

"Are we good now?" I ask.

"Yeah. At least I think so." Randy quietly says.

"Okay. Good."

Randy starts to eat his food again. "Anyway, I think we have other things to talk about. Like how much of a douche I was after you returned a couple years ago. I'm sorry for all of that. I honestly don't think I regret anything as much as not visiting you in that hospital and the chain of events that followed."

I place a hand on his. "Me too honestly. There's part of me that believes that if I hadn't gotten with Chris then you and I wouldn't have had such as hard of a time becoming friends again."

"Yeah. He was definitely a part of the problem. I remember finding you on that bench after you two broke up."

"I was a mess."

"A cute mess."

"Yeah. Whatever."

"Anyway, I was horrible. Especially when you were so good to me. I'd fuck up, and you'd be there to tell me to get it together."

"Yeah…that's what I did."

"And it's a good thing you did. I needed it."

"I am a good person."

"Damn right. You're an amazing person. Also, I know I was a bit of a douchebag when it happened but I'm happy and proud that you finally became Women's Champion again. Congrats."

"Thanks."

Randy realizes that the fans are watching us. He asks the waitress for our bill. "I'm sorry, Rissa, but the staring is driving me nuts. We can go do something else if you want."

"We can just go back to the hotel. I did still enjoy this though."

"Good." Randy pays the waitress and stands up. "Since they're staring, let's give them something to stare at." Randy pulls me to him and starts kissing me.

I kiss him back. "I think I can get used to this."

Randy kisses me a little rougher. "Me too, babe, me too."

Randy drives us towards the hotel. "Are you sure you had a good time?"

"Yeah." I reply. "Yes, the pictures and staring were annoying, but I still got to spend time with you. That's what matters. And it was honestly nice to do it without our friends being around."

"Yeah. You're right. It's about spending time together."

"Exactly."

"I think we're going to have to start doing this more."

"Yeah. Maybe without the fans though."

Randy laughs. "I wish. We'll figure it out. You should check that message from Stephanie."

I nod. "Yeah. Let me check it."

Stephanie: I need to see both you and Randy in my office as soon as you make it to the arena on Monday for Raw. I don't trust him to check his messages, so let him know.

"Well damn." I mutter.

"What's it say?" Randy asks.

"Stephanie needs to see us in her office as soon as we make it to Raw on Monday. She apparently doesn't trust you enough to check your messages, so I was told to let you know. Should I just reply with okay?"

"Yeah. Just say okay."

Me: Okay.

"I just texted her back."

"Okay. Wait…she doesn't trust me to check my messages?"

"I guess not. It's kinda funny to me though."

Randy rolls his eyes. "Wow. Whatever. I totally check my messages."

"But do you read them?"

"If I think they're important."

"But not always."

"Not always."

"I don't know what we're gonna do."

"Me either, Rissa."

We both stay silent as Randy pulls into the parking lot.

Randy drags me up to our hotel room. He opens the door and walks in the room with me following behind him.

My jaw drops as I see the inside of the room. There are rose petals all over the room, a few candles set up, and wine bottles and glasses up on the counter.

"Randy…what the hell?" I quietly say. "I mean…how did…you were with me all day…but this is…oh my gosh."

Randy smiles as he pulls me into his arms. "I have my ways, beautiful. Just gotta let me handle things sometimes."

I let a few tears slip. "You and your crazy shit."

Randy wipes my tears. "Was it too much?"

I shake my head. "No…I just…it's…Chris never did anything like this for me."

Randy brushes a piece of my hair out of my face. "You sure it's not too much?"

"I love it." I laugh. "I absolutely love it, Randy. I'm just not used to this. Thank you."

Randy kisses my forehead. "Of course. I know we kinda jumped into this, but we're in this together. And unlike Chris, I know how to treat a beautiful woman like yourself."

I blush. "Beautiful woman? Man, you really are trying to bed me."

Randy laughs. "Maybe I am. Really though. This is about you."

"Me? All about me?"

"Damn right."

"Ya know I think I have an idea. About Stephanie."

"And what's that?"

"We'll tell her it's her fault because she put us in close quarters."

Randy laughs. "She's gonna be so annoyed with us. I'm in."

"Good."

Randy leads me to the bed and sits me down. "So since this is all about you, what should we do?"

"Um…" I start. "Well…damn it, Randy. I'm still in shock a little."

"You're still in shock? Oops."

"It's not a bad thing. Just unexpected."

"You sure?"

"Damn it, Randal. Stop worrying. I'm into this."

"You sure? I-"

I cut Randy off with a kiss. He pulls me on top of him.

"I love this." Randy says between kisses. "You and me, just us doing our thing."

"Me too." I quietly reply.

Randy rolls over so he's on top of me as we makeout on the bed.
