Chapter 9
Randy and I walked down to his rental SUV and he held my hand as I slid into the passenger seat...Randy walked around and got in and I sat to the side slightly and took in Randy's appearance. He was wearing black slacks with dress shoes and a dark / navy blue button down long sleeved shirt, with a nice black leather jacket that just seemed to finish off the outfit perfect.
The smell of the leather jacket filled the SUV...His perfectly trimmed short hair never moved as his light blue eye watched the road.
Randy said, "So I'm surprised you finally agreed to go out with me...I've been trying to get you to go out for a month now...why the sudden change?" I smiled and said, "Do I have to have a reason?" Randy looked over at me for a split second and said, "Oh no...Not at all...I was just curious."
We were stopped at a red light and I reached over and touched his knee...I said, "Calm down...I don't know what you've got to be nervous about...I haven't been on a date in quite a while...You probably do this all the time." Randy laughed a little and said, "Actually...I'm nervous because...I'm sitting so close to you." I said, "Randy, you've been closer to me before...what the big deal now?" Randy said, "I'd explain it...but I would sound stupid...so I'll save myself the embarrassment."
I said, "It never stopped you before...Mr. 5 big ugly dudes jumped me from behind." Randy said, "C'mon, you know the guys would have NEVER let me live down the fact a woman knocked the shit oughta me." I giggled and said, "That's true."
We got to the restaurant; it was Italian food...over pasta and wine we talked a little...Randy said, "So what was your mom like?" I said, "She was really great and supportive of me, when I decided I wanted to be a wrestler when I was 18. I took 2 years off and helped my mother but nothing really helped her...so when WWE came around and asked if I wanted a contract...I jumped all over it."
Randy said, "What did you help you mother with?" I said, "Well she had breast and spinal cancer, and 2 years later, and 7 rounds of chemotherapy and radiation...Nothing helped her at all, she was still in so much pain...nothing seemed to work...the only thing that could really get rid of the pain was the morphine. She wound up dying from it..."
Randy said, "If you could see your father or ever meet him...what would you say or do?" I said, "I don't know it just depends...I guess it depends on what kind of mood I would be in at the time...I would like to tell him what a fucker he was for never wanting to see his child...and then I could start on how I had to watch my mother die from cancer. It was the one time in my life I wish I knew him to tell him what a fuckin' asshole he was and how much I hated him."
Randy reached over and took Lena's hand in his and gave it a little squeeze, he could see the sadness in her eyes and wanted to only make her happy...He remember what her laughter sounded like and it was intoxicating...but the look on her face now was enough to make him cry for her. Randy leaned over and picked her chin up and said, "You ready to get out of here yet?" Lena nodded and watched as Randy paid the bill.
We walked back out to the SUV rental and took off again, when we stopped we were on the boardwalk, and Randy took my hand and we walked along the sand...it was so beautiful...Randy said, "You don't mind if I hold your hand do you?" I said, "No, not at all." I had a shiver run through me and Randy slipped his leather jacket off and put it around my shoulders and rubbed my arms to warm me up...
Randy turned me towards him and within a matter of seconds his lip were on mine in the softest kiss I'd ever felt in all my life...his lips were gentle but strong...and so soft...he nipped my bottom lip and I opened my mouth granting him access...His tongue slowly slid into my mouth and caressed every space in my mouth including my own tongue.
We pulled apart breathless and Randy said, "I think I should take you back to the hotel." I said, "That's a good idea...we've got an early flight in the morning." Randy nodded and agreed. He took us back to the hotel and walked me up to my room and we stood out in the hall with the door open...I looked up into his beautiful blue eyes...I said, "Thanks I really had a nice time Randy." He looked down and said, "Yea...I hope you'll let me take you out again..."
I said, "Sure." Randy leaned down and captured my lips again...I pulled back and slipped the jacket off my shoulders and handed it to Randy and said, "Thanks for the loan." Randy said, "Anytime. Night." I stood on my tip toes and kissed Randy's cheek and said, "Night."
