Fine Line Between Love and Hate Chapter Nineteen
The next week was a whirlwind. Randy again came home Friday (morning this time) and left Saturday night for Sunday's house show. To most it was a waste but he got to see Ali so he was pretty happy.
During Raw he was trying to figure out what he was going to do for Valentine's Day. That was going to be the next time he would see her. Then it occurred to him. Call Leigh.
He made the call and after much pleading Leigh gave him insight into what a girl wants for Valentine's Day, and some more of Ali's quirks. He knew there would be a point when Leigh wanted him to help her and knew this conversation would come back to haunt him, but he didn't care.
Randy finally had the perfect idea Tuesday afternoon, a romantic picnic dinner. It unfortunately wasn't warm enough for an outside picnic, so either her living room floor, or his would have to work. Of course there would be the typical flowers and chocolate also.
He spent the rest of the week looking for a perfect card for her. Dave and Paul laughed at him calling his search an obsession. He didn't care too much, in fact he was beginning to get quite used to being the object of attention. Even the divas had noticed that he wasn't trying to hit on them as of late.
Randy decided that it would be better to not mention that Dave and Paul were just as obsessive about finding the right card for the women in their lives. He knew what he wanted it was just a matter of finding it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Friday was insane. Randy arrived in St. Louis around noon and still had to get to the flower shop to send Ali some flowers. It was the first of many clues that she was going to get about what was going on. He was still upset that tomorrow there was a big photo shoot for Raw Magazine so he had to surprise her tonight.
While he was at the flower shop he got dozens of roses and lilies (her favorite flower he got that little tidbit from Leigh). He also made stops to get chocolates and candles. He stopped at his parents' house to find the blanket that he, Ali, and Leigh had picnics on as children.
Leigh only laughed at him for the obsessiveness of his plan. He didn't think it was funny but let her laugh as much as she wanted to.
Randy went right to work getting everything that he could think of set up. He wanted this to be special to her. He wanted this to be perfect. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ali came back from her lunch break and found a huge bouquet of red roses with half a dozen pink lilies mixed in waiting at the reception desk. She smiled and knew it was for her before anyone even told her. She looked at the card and noticed Randy's untidy scrawl. She smiled even more. The message was short and said that she'd see him later.
The rest of her afternoon when that much better. She was nearly floating on the clouds and her co-workers noticed. They asked a lot of questions, and she gave some answers.
When she got home that evening she found more flowers. "This is getting ridiculous," she muttered. There was another little note telling her to wear something special, and that there would be a driver there at 6:30 that evening. She really wanted to know what was going on.
She realized that she didn't have a lot of time to get ready so she hopped into the shower, before looking through her closet time and time again to find the perfect outfit. She wasn't sure what to wear so she called Leigh.
Leigh's suggestion was actually pretty good. Ali wore a nice light pink tank top and a black skirt simple yet formal. She did her hair in a half pony tail and put on some light makeup before noticing that it was almost time. She was very curious about her surprise. She couldn't wait to see what he managed to find to surprise her. She grabbed the two cards that were for him. (She made one and one was a rather humorous one that she'd found at the card shop.)
At exactly 6:30 a limo pulled up in front of her apartment building. 'He's going crazy,' Ali though to herself waiting for the driver to knock on her door. She wasn't going to let Randy live this one down.
The limo ride for Ali was much longer than it needed to be probably because she was blindfold the whole time. 'This had better be worth it,' she thought to herself. She absolutely hated not knowing where she was going.
When she heard the door open she also heard Randy's voice. She now needed to know what he had been planning that she knew was going to be far to elaborate. She knew how he planed things. If he was going to take the time to do it plan it the event was going to be absolutely amazing. He'd been the same way as a child - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Randy knew this was going to be good. He couldn't wait to see her reaction to what he had planned. He'd gotten Italian food from a local restaurant that she claimed was her favorite and of course everything else that he'd work so hard the last six hours to plan.
He knew that whatever hell he got from her for all this being to much or not knowing where she was going would be totally worth it. Once she saw what was going he was sure she wouldn't really be mad at him. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ali took his hand and he lead her up to the house before Randy took of her blindfold. She was right out side what she assumed was his house. The house looked beautiful. It was actually very similar to his parents' house, though she wasn't going to tell him that.
He walked with her into the entrance way where red, pink and white, rose petals lined the path to another room. She knew this was going to be something she would never forget.
"Randy this is amazing," she said quietly.
"The best is yet to come," he told her with a half smile half smirk. 'He doesn't know how sexy he looks doing that,' Ali thought.
He led Ali into the living room where everything was set up. He knew right away that he'd taken her breath away. He very much enjoyed doing that.
"Oh my God," Ali whispered. He smiled knowing he'd shocked her to a loss of words. "This is all so much."
"Don't worry about it," he told her.
She didn't realize what blanket it was on the floor until she felt it. "You're mom actually kept this thing all these years?"
"She's a bit sentimental. I just had to find it and she was more than happy to let me use it," Randy said. He didn't mention that he had to search around the attic for forty five minutes to find it.
The couple ate in a comfortable silence. They broke it up with a little bit of small talk.
"I feel really stupid now, because I only got you a card," Ali said sheepishly.
"It's fine," Randy said. He took the envelope where he took out both cards. A smile spread across his face as he read the store bought one.
He gave her his card and in the envelope there was the promise ring that he'd given her years ago, the same one that she'd thrown at him. Ali was just about in tears, and Randy knew that for once they were tears of joy.
"Randy you shouldn't have," Ali said not able to come up with more any more words.
"I wanted to. I saved that ring and told myself that I would give it to the woman I love, and that woman is you. No one else even knows I still have the ring," Randy told her.
Unable to think of words to say Ali gave him a kiss. A kiss that was filled with all the love, happiness, and passion that she was feeling.
There you go. I hope you all liked it. Please review, feel free to make suggestions an such.
