Fine Line Between Love and Hate
Chapter Twenty One
It was Saturday afternoon and Randy was finally alone. Amy and Trish were taking Ali shopping, hopefully for a beautiful dress. He and Ali had spent much of the previous day and most of the morning at Axcess. He wanted Ali to have the complete Wrestlemania experience and it hadn't been as difficult as Randy thought with the large crowds.
He had to get things set up for that night. It absolutely had to be perfect if she was going to say yes and eh would be happy with himself. It was 2:30 and he had dinner reservations at 7:00 that night. He didn't know where things were going to lead but he wanted the hotel room to be romantic just incase if something happened.

Ali was having so much fun. Her Amy and Trish were out shopping. It seemed like Amy and Trish knew all the best places to shop, and gave her some tips to find designer outfits and dresses for less. She was having more fun than she ever had. She couldn't wait until she got to get together with them and Leigh. That would be a trip worth remembering.
She had the credit card that Randy gave her, but was trying not to use it. She'd done good at not giving into the temptation until she found a beautiful burgundy one strapped dress. It was one of the most beautiful dresses that she had ever seen.
When they saw how much she wanted the dress, Trish and Amy insisted that she try the dress on. When she did Ali fell even more in love with it, if that were possible. She couldn't help it she just had to buy it. She felt really guilty that she spent his money to buy a dress.
"Don't worry he gave you the money to buy it," Amy told her, "wear it to dinner tonight."
"Then I'll need shoes, I only brought some silver ones with me," Ali complained. She didn't want him paying for all the stuff that she was buying.
The girls continued to shop and found a beautiful pair of black strappy dress shoes. Ali got her hair done and some other things also. She couldn't believe that he was actually going through with this.
She went back to her hotel room and Amy and Trish insisted on helping Ali get ready. They knew what Randy had planned and they knew the young woman in front to them would love what had planned.

It was almost six thirty and Randy said that he was going to pick up Ali at six thirty so that they would be at the hotel at seven. He considered leaving her clues, or having a driver take her to the restaurant but decided against it.
He was breath taken when he saw her. She was absolutely gorgeous. He was okay until they got in the car and were almost at the restaurant. His nerves started kicking in and as hard as he tried not to let Ali notice, she noticed. "What's wrong?" Ali asked.
"Nothing," he replied. "How was your afternoon?"
The two chatted the rest of the way to the restaurant. Randy's nerves started to calm as they talked more. It seemed like not matter how much they talked they would never run out of things to say.
They were almost through dinner when Randy finally got he nerve. He fingered the box in his pocket before getting down on one knee. Ali wasn't sure what to think.
"Ali I love you; I've always loved you. I've spent my life waiting for this moment. Will you marry me?" Randy asked. He couldn't think of better words. It was almost ironic that he was usually so good with words and now he couldn't find the right ones. He knew there was a lot more about he past that he didn't tell her but he couldn't care less. He wanted her with him forever.
"Yes," Ali said almost instantly. She answered with her heart before her brain could take over and tell her how much this wouldn't work. He slipped the ring on her finger and gave her a kiss. They were both all smiles through the rest of the meal.
"Babe, we have to talk when we get back," Ali whispered to him on the way back to the hotel. "I just want to tell you some of the things that have happened," she said when she saw the panic in his eyes.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ali was again breath taken when she entered the hotel room. "Randy, I know that I haven't told you a lot about my past, but since we're getting married I don't want to keep secrets," Ali told him.
"I'll listen but you don't have to tell me more than you're ready to tell," Randy told her grabbing her hand.
Ali began telling him about a various bad relationships including one abusive one, and being raped. She didn't think that she would tell him any of these things. He had to keep his emotions in check because he didn't want to scare her. He was so angry that someone would do that to her.
She got out the worst of it before she broke down. He just held her and let her cry.
When she finished crying her told her to wait where she as sitting and turned on the CD player. "Dance with me," he said as the opening strains of music played. He wanted to feel her in his arms. It was one of the biggest natural highs for him.
~Ohhh…~
~Don't pretend you're sorry~
~I know you're not~
~You know you got the power to make me weak inside~
~Girl you leave me breathless~
~But it's ok'~
~'Cause you are my survival~
~Now hear me say...~
~I can't imagine life without your love~
~And even forever don't seem like long enough~
~'Cause every time I breathe I take you in~
~And my heart beats again~
~Baby I can't help it~
~You keep me drowning in your love~
~Every time I try to rise above~
~I'm swept away by love~
~Baby I can't help it~
~You keep me drowning in your love~
~Maybe I'm a drifter... maybe not~
~'Cause I long for the safety of flowing freely in your arms ~
~I don't need another lover ~
~It's not for me~
~'Cause only you can save me~
~Oh... can't you see ~
~I can't imagine life without your love~
~And even forever ~
~Don't seem like long enough~
~Go on and pull me under~
~Cover me with dreams, yeah~
~Love me mouth to mouth now~
~You know I can't resist~
~'Cause you're the air I breathe~
~Baby I can't help it~
~You keep me drowning in your love~
~Whoa…~
~You keep me drowning in your love~
~Baby I can't help it~
~No.. no..~
When they finished their dance Randy planted another kiss on her lips. Ali couldn't resist and pressed herself closer to him instantly deepening the kiss. She needed to feel him next to her.
Randy couldn't help himself he needed to feel her lips against his. He needed to feel her body against his. He deepened their kiss and things progressed further and further. Randy was careful to go slowly and to make sure this was what Ali wanted to do.
After their lovemaking Ali and Randy fell asleep in each others arms.
