Chapter 05:
"Stacy...where have you been?" Trish asked; the moment Stacy's foot hit the floor of Chris Jericho's locker room.
"Oh...ummm...I bumped into someone." Stacy answered, not wanting them to know that it was Randy Orton whom she bumped into.
"Oh? Who?" Lita asked.
"Nidia." Stacy lied, shrugging. "Just talked about her match last night." She added to make it sound more truthful.
"Oh...okay."
"Well...we're heading towards the mall for lunch. Wanna come?" Trish asked with a smile.
"Oh...who's coming?" Stacy asked back, hesitating a bit.
"All of us! Including the guys!" Trish replied, turning to Jeff and smiling at him.
"Oh...well...it's okay. I'll just see you guys back at the hotel later. Thanks anyway." Stacy said with a smile, walking out of the locker room.
"What's gotten into her?" Chris Jericho asked, raising an eyebrow and looking at Stephanie.
"Guys...come on. Try to understand Stacy's situation. She's the only one here without a boyfriend so obviously she feels out of place. Just let her be. She probably needs some time alone or something." Lita elucidated, making all of them nod.
Stacy walked past many other people she knew, either smiling or waving at them. As she walked past a corner, she caught a glimpse of Randy Orton, reading a magazine. Suddenly, he looked up and caught her eyes. They stared at each other for a while until Stacy broke it off, blushing. She had remembered what had almost happened a while ago. She sustained to walk, avoiding Randy's continuing gaze until she reached a dead end.
"All this walking will lead you to nowhere, Stacy." She muttered to herself as she turned around but once she did, she came face to face with none other than Randy Orton himself. "Randy!" she stepped back a bit, clutching her chest. "You scared me there." She said with a smile as Randy smirked sheepishly as if to say sorry.
"Ummm...are you doing anything later this lunch?" he then asked as Stacy looked at him puzzled.
"Ummm...no. Not really. Why?"
"Would you like to join me? I'm heading over to the mall to grab something to eat." He answered, pleading Stacy with his eyes.
Stacy thought about it for a while. "Alright." She finally uttered, sending chills down Randy's spine.
"Cool. Let's go?" he offered as Stacy nodded, walking with him to the parking lot. Reaching his silver rental car, he unlocked the door and opened it for Stacy before heading to his own side. Stacy, impressed of how Randy was acting, stared as he got inside and ignited the vehicle.
"What?" Randy asked, the moment he had noticed Stacy staring at him.
"Why are you acting this way?" Stacy couldn't help but ask anymore, her voice as gentle as a cool breeze.
Randy sighed and shrugged. "I knew you were gonna ask that sooner or later. And to answer your question...I don't know. It's just that...look...I'm not who you think I am. Most people...actually...all people think that I'm a badass jerk with an all-time player attitude. That's merely a mask I'm wearing...to be able to fit in Evolution. The real Randy Orton is the one talking to you right now. Frankly...I could be nice if you just got to know the real me." He explained to her on their way to the mall.
"Why do you have to wear such mask?" Stacy asked, quite disappointed that Randy was forced to pretend as such.
"I told you: to be able to fit in with the rest of Evolution. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be where I'm at right now. I owe a great deal to them and the only way I can repay them is by being who they want me to be. And that's the Legend Killer."
Stacy shook her head. "I still don't understand. I think that's just plain wrong. You're free to choose who and how you want to be! You can't be controlled by them! Leave the group!"
"It's not that easy. And you won't understand. If only you knew how they are..." Randy trailed off, reaching the mall and parking his car.
"Tsss...I'm telling you. It's just downright wrong." Stacy finished, shaking her head and feeling dire for her friend.
"So anyway...where do you want to eat?" Randy asked, changing the topic so as not to speak of it anymore.
"Anywhere." Stacy shrugged as they ended up eating at McDonald's. While eating, both were able to get to know each other a bit more as Stacy realized that Randy indeed, wasn't that bad. He actually had a good sense of humor and was very smart in his words and actions. He was very different from the Randy Orton she thought she knew. And she liked it. She liked him.
