Disclaimer: Anyone famous and their families I don't own. I do own
Jenna, Riley, and Katie. I also don't own the song used at the end of the
chapter. That is owned by Keith Urban and is called Your Everything. It can
be found on his self titled CD.
A/N: Thanks for the reviews to the last chapter. Lisa, I really had no idea you had a brother named Kevin. When I was writing that I was watching an episode of Friends at the same time, that's how I got the last name of Green. Also, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to update this story, but I had a big English paper due, that I ended up changing everything on it, two days before it was due, also writers block doesn't help matters any. Anywho, here's the next chapter. Hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 13
The Date
The Ortons had a big cookout over at their house to celebrate the great outcome of the trial. While Bob was getting the steaks on the grill, I was talking to the girls.
"I have no idea what to wear on my date." I said, as Riley and Becky started laughing.
"Don't worry. After the cookout is done, we'll go back to your place and help you find something." Steph said.
"God, I can't believe I'm finally going on a date with Randy. What if I do something incredibly stupid?" I asked, as I buried my face in my hands.
"You won't do anything stupid. It's not like Randy doesn't really know you. You guys work together, and you've shared an apartment with him for the last couple of months." Riley said.
"Yeah, you're both used to the stupid things the other does, so it works out." Becky joked, as I threw a pillow at her.
"Do you know where you guys are going?" Katie asked.
"No, he won't tell me. He did say that I should dress nice, but it doesn't have to be fancy." I answered, as Bob came into to say that dinner was ready.
~ ~ ~ ~
The next afternoon, Steph, Lisa, and Becky all showed up to help me get ready for my date. We decided to wait until today to find my outfit, since everyone pretty much was tired after the trial. Riley and Katie kicked Randy, John, and Dave out so they could help me get ready without the guys bugging us. I heard Randy mumbling something about it "being wrong he's getting kicked out of his own apartment." About 5 minutes later, is when Becky, Steph, and Lisa showed up. So that brings us to now, and the crisis over which outfit to choose. Stephanie and Riley had both picked this simple black spaghetti strap dress that stops right at my knees. Katie and Becky had picked out a light purple dress that the straps criss-crossed in the back. So of course it would have to be up to me and Lisa, and we both couldn't decide.
"Well since it's casual, I'm going to go with the purple one." I said, as I sat down in the chair to let Becky do my hair, while Riley and Katie are doing my make-up, and Lisa was going to do my nails, leaving Steph to tear apart the rest of my closet looking for the perfect pair of shoes. "You guys have no idea how much I appreciate this. I'd be in so much trouble if I was doing this myself." I said, looking around at my friends.
Girl, you know you'd be fine. You are going to knock Mr. RKO for a loop when he sees you tonight." Lisa said, looking up at me.
"You really think that?" I asked, as Lisa looked like she wanted to beat me over the head with something.
"Jennifer Nicole. I'm not sure about Steph and Lisa, but Becky, Katie, and I have been able to tell Randy has liked you as more than a friend since we were in Louisville." Riley said, pulling my hair a little bit.
"Yeah, but we hated each other for a long time while we were there." I replied, as Becky took her turn to yell at me.
"Jenna. I probably know Randy better than anyone, and believe me when I tell you, even when you two hated each other, he still really, really liked you. in fact, Nate even teased him about it once, and you know it must be pretty obvious for Nate to notice." Becky said, chuckling a little at the end.
"I wonder what Randy and the guys are doing right now." I said, as Steph laughed before answering.
"Not sitting around helping Randy get ready, that's for sure." As the others agreed.
~ ~ ~ ~
Randy, John, and Dave had met up with Ric and Paul at the Ortons home. "I can't believe I'm actually nervous about this date." Randy said, falling onto the couch, as John and Dave eyed him carefully.
"Yeah, well all the same. If you hurt Jenna at all, I'll personally kick your ass from here to Japan." John threatened, the protective side coming out in him.
"John, you know I would never hurt her. I've never felt like this about anyone before." Randy said, looking John in the eye.
"Yeah, well, I don't want to see her hurt again. As long as I know you'll treat her the way she deserves to be treated, we'll be cool." John said, looking at his friend.
"I will, I promise." Randy said, getting up to go get ready.
~ ~ ~ ~
When Randy arrived at the apartment, he figured he better knock, otherwise he may have a very pissed off Riley to deal with. When the door finally opened, Becky greeted her brother with a smile. "Wow! Randy, you actually look good. I didn't think you had it in you." Becky joked, stepping aside to let Randy in.
"Yeah, you're real funny there sis." Randy replied, rolling his eyes.
"Wonder where I got that from." Becky mumbled under her breath.
"What was that?" Randy asked, turning around to face his sister.
"Nothing. I'll go see if Jenna is ready yet." Becky said, heading back down the hall. Randy was left alone with his thoughts again. After a few minutes Becky, Steph, Lisa, and Katie came out into the living room.
"She'll be out in just a sec." Steph said, taking a seat next to Randy.
"So what did John threaten you with?" Katie asked, knowing her boyfriend was protective over their friend.
"The typical stuff. If I hurt Jenna, he'll kill me." Randy said, as Katie and Stephanie started laughing.
"You know, I think Dave, Paul, and Ric would all help him kill you. They're all protective of her." Steph said, as Riley cleared her throat from behind them.
"She's ready." Riley simply said, as Randy stood up and walked over to the hallway entrance. When I came out of my room, Randy was awestruck.
"Jenna. You look beautiful." Randy said, handing me the dozen roses he had.
"You don't look so bad yourself." I said, looking over his attire so to speak. He was wearing a blue silk dress shirt, black pants, and a black jacket. After Riley said she'd put the roses in water, Randy and I were on our way.
~ ~ ~ ~
Randy and I went to Outback for dinner, after we had ordered, we just started talking. "So Randy, what else do you have planned for tonight?" I asked, hoping he'd give me some kind of hint, but he wouldn't budge.
"You'll just have to wait. I can tell you this though, you will love it." Randy said, his arrogant smirk forming on his lips.
"Pretty please." I said, batting my eyelashes, and gave a little pout hoping he would cave, but he didn't.
"As cute as you look doing that, I'm still not telling you." Randy said, as the waitress brought our salads out to us. We talked and laughed through dinner about different things, but Randy never mentioned Kevin or the kidnapping.
"I still can't believe you poured ice down my back. Your mom even agreed with me." I said, laughing about his 'payback' he did to me.
"Yeah, well. It's like they say, paybacks a bitch." Randy said, as we were walking out to the car.
"I'll have to remember that." I said, casting a playful smirk at him.
"Like I'm scared of you." Randy shot back playfully, as we put our seatbelts on.
~ ~ ~ ~
Randy took me dancing at this small club right outside of St. Louis. The played a wide variety of songs, from J'Lo and Britney, to Metallica and Led Zeppelin. What the DJ said next shocked the hell out of me. "This next song is going out to Jenna from Randy." The dj said, as the sound of one of my favorite country songs started.
"May I have this dance?" Randy asked, extending his hand to me, as I just nodded my head, afraid if I opened my mouth to speak I'd start crying.
The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
That I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
Like I never felt with anyone else
I wanna give back what you've givin' to me
And I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
I wanna be more than just your man
I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...
Randy and I just held each other close, I was listening to his heartbeat when he looked down at me. "Jenna. I feel everything that is said in this song. I can't promise we won't argue, cause let's face it, we are two of the most stubborn people in the world, but I can promise I will love you until forever." Randy whispered in my ear. I'm not sure if it was his breath on my neck or the effect of his words, but I felt my knees go weak.
"I love you too, Randy." I said, as I brought his face closer to mine, as we shared a kiss that put our first kiss to shame.
When you wake up, I'll be the first thing you see
And when it gets dark you can reach out to me
I'll cherish your words and I'll finish your thoughts
And I'll be your compass baby, when you get lost
I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...
I wanna be your everything.
A/N 2: There you go. Hope you all liked it, I'm hoping to work on chapter 14 during Raw well the boring parts tonight. Leave any ideas you may have, if I use it, I'll give you full credit for it.
