Fine Line Between Love and Hate Chapter Twenty
Ali was thrilled about today. It was the Thursday before Wrestlemania, and in just a few short hours she was going to see Randy. That added to the extravaganza that she knew Wtrestlemania was going to be kept her going all day.
Leigh stopped by to see Ali after she got out of work. She wanted to say good-bye to her friend and to drive Ali to the airport so she wouldn't have to leave her car there or take a cab.
When Ali got to the airport she as nervous. She hated flying and didn't really want to go on the plane by herself. The only thing that was pushing him on the plane was that she was going to see Randy.
"Remember chica don't do anything that I wouldn't do," Leigh told her friend when she got as far as she could go with her.
"Thanks Leigh, that doesn't really help me a lot. There isn't a lot that you wouldn't do," Ali joked. She was trying to relieve the tension she was feeling about the plane.
"Say hi to my brother for me and tell him to call me or I'll kick his ass," Leigh said ignoring her friend's comments.
"Sure, and I'll tell him that Lizzie misses him," Ali said. She was beginning to think of his family as her own more than she had ever.

Randy was pacing almost like a manic around his and Dave's room.
"Chill I would still like to have my sanity when Sydney comes," Dave told his friend. He knew exactly what was causing Randy to behave the way he was, but it wasn't helping his patience any at the moment.
"Ali's coming," Randy almost shouted. He was possibly a little to excited for his own good.
"Just ask her to marry you and get it over with," Dave said. He knew that Randy was considering it already, though he wasn't able to admit it to anyone.
"I don't want to ask her yet. It's too soon; I don't want to scare her away," Randy said.
"If you haven't scared her away yet then I don't think you can. You know you want to marry her, and she obviously needs you in her life," Dave said. He knew the was pointing out the obvious.
"Dave she's been through so much that I'm afraid of pushing her to far. She's been hurt so many times that I want her to be able to ease into this," Randy said.
"You guys have been in love with each other for almost twenty years I don't think that you can ease into it any more," Dave pointed out.
"We hated each other for a while," Randy told him, "we hated each other for almost half that time. You don't make up for that in just a few months."
"Who knows you better than she does?" Dave asked.
"Leigh and that's about it," Randy said. He was getting what Dave was trying to tell him. There was no time like the present.
He had an idea. He called his mom and talked to her briefly before going down to the lobby to check if there was a room available for Saturday night. He was already beginning to formulate a plan for Saturday night. He would have asked her in front of the world but she was to much of a private person for that.

"What did Randy want," Leigh asked her mother.
"He wanted to know if I still had my mothers engagement ring," Ella beamed. She was happy that Randy was finally going to do this.
"He's going to ask her?" Leigh said. She and her father had a running bet on how long it would take and they had both severely overestimated the time. Leigh had said at least nine months and Bob had said at least a year. "Does Dad know?"
"I was going to let Randy tell him. If Randy really wanted to be a gentleman about it he would talk to your father, seeing as he's the closest thing to a father that Ali has," Ella said remembering when Bob asked her to marry him.
"Mom, don't space out here, we're still talking," Leigh said continuing the conversation that they were having previously.

Ali arrived at the airport late and in one piece amazingly. She headed toward baggage claims looking to see any sign of someone she knew. It wasn't long before she saw Randy heading towards her. He looked like he was up to something even from far away. He still hadn't grown out of getting a mischievous glint in his eyes when he was up to something.
He wrapped her in a hug and gave her a kiss before she pulled her bag off the luggage carousel.
"Here, I'll take it," Randy said grabbing the bag out of her hands. He didn't care that it had wheels the polite thing to do was carry it for her.
"You surprise me more every day," Ali said giving him a kiss on the cheek. She could get used to this rather quickly. She loved being around.
Randy walked with her hand in hand out to his rental car. He felt so right that he knew that Dave was right. This was the cement that he needed to be sure that he really wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
"Why are you so quite?" Ali asked in the car. She really knew something big was up. He only got quiet when there was something on his mind.
"Just Mania," Randy said. He wasn't lieing completely he was just omitting the other part. He'd talked to her on numerous occasions about not liking the story line with Foley. He respected Foley more than almost anyone in the business and she knew that.
"I finally get to meet Shawn Micheals," Ali said mostly to get him talking again. He knew that Shawn had been her favorite since she was in like second grade.
"He's married. Sorry to burst your bubble. I'm not letting you out of my sight anyway," Randy joked. He knew that she was going to meet him somehow or other.
"Hey I said I was going to meet him. Doing anything that would be impacted by the fact that he's married never came up," Ali said knowing that he would catch her drift.
"But you were thinking about it. I have sources that tell me you thought about it many times through out high school," Randy teased.
"You're right. Besides I bet Shawn is much more of man than you," Ali teased sticking her tongue out at him.
The two continued their playful banter back to the hotel were, albeit reluctantly Ali went to the room that as of tomorrow she would be sharing with Syd and Randy went back to his room.

"You were so right," Randy told Dave when he walked into their room. "I want to spend the rest of my life with Ali no questions asked. How come you knew this before me."
"I knew she liked you before you the same way. I used my eyes not my emotions," Dave told him. "Some things you only others can see clearly."
"Good night. I have a hell of a day in front of me since I want Ali to have the full Wrestlemania experience."
"Hope you don't get mauled by your hoards of ring rats," Dave teased before going to bed himself. ________________________________________________________________________ Was it good? Bad? The only way I know is if you review.
