Chapter 2
When Madison got back over to her best friend, she noticed Stacy was almost choking with laughter. "What are you laughing at?" Madison asked her. Stacy shook her head and tried to get a breath.
"I was watching you over there," she finally said, "and he went from haughty, to completely torn down, and now he's staring over hear with his mouth wide open. This is priceless!" Stacy finally managed to say without laughing. Stacy glanced over to Chris, and as soon as she noticed to look on his face, she started laughing too.
"Well, I gave him a piece of my mind and then told him I came here to party with you. So I told him if he could find a guy for you, we could all party together. If not, forget it." Madison explained to her friend. As soon as she said that, a shadow fell over the two women. They looked up to see Chris standing there with an attractive brunette man about the same size and build. "Yes?" Stacy asked the two of them.
"You said I needed to find a guy, and here he is. Randy Orton, meet Madison and…I didn't get your name." Chris said looking at Stacy. Stacy reached out and took Randy's into hers.
"I'm Stacy, but my friends call me Stace." Stacy said to Randy. He brought his hand to his mouth and kissed it gently which made Stacy giggle.
"Nice to meet you Stacy." Randy said, not letting go of her hand. "Want to dance?"
"Sure! Be right back Madison." Stacy said setting her drink down and allowing herself to be led by Randy.
"I guess they're hitting it off. Good job Chris." Madison said with a smile.
"You told me to find a guy for your friend and I did. So, now that I did, want to dance?" Chris asked her holding out his hand. Madison thought about it for a minute, and then smiled, took his hand and walked out onto the dance floor. After about 5 songs straight, Chris started to get pooped out. He led Madison by the hand back to a booth in the corner of the club.
"How can you still be fine after so much dancing? I feel like I'm going pass out!" Chris said putting his head on Madison's shoulder.
"Aw, poor baby. The big bad wrestler can't handle 20 minutes of dancing?" Madison said in mock sympathy. Chris lifted his head up and pouted. "Oh ok, did I hurt the baby's feelings?" Madison added, laughing. Chris just put his head back down, which prompted Madison to laugh even more. Right then Stacy and Randy came off the dance floor to sit down. Stacy sat next to Madison, and Randy sat next to her and put his arm around her.
"What's wrong with Chris?" Stacy asked, looking at Chris, who still had his head down.
"Oh nothing, he's all tired from dancing and he's upset cause I'm teasing him." Madison said with a smile. Randy and Stacy just laughed, which caused Chris to sulk even more. They ordered more drinks and talked for awhile longer until Madison said, "Anyway, we should get going. Stace and I have to be up early tomorrow since we didn't finish our work tonight, and it needs to get done." Madison said.
Chris turned to her and said, "Now? But you just got here like an hour ago."
"I know, I know. But if I don't get some sleep, I won't wake up in time to open the store, and if I'm not up, I know Stacy won't wake herself up." Madison said looking at her best friend, who looked back at her with a sheepish look.
"Yeah I will…oh who am I kidding, no I won't." Stacy said in reply, laughing.
"Well at least give us your number so we can call you tomorrow." Chris said despondently.
"Don't sound so sad Chris; it doesn't go well with your arrogant face." Madison joked, that set the whole group laughing again. Madison and Stacy gave Chris and Randy, respectively their numbers, and Madison gave Chris the store's number. "Just in case I can't find my cell phone." She said. So they all walked out of the club, and stood outside of it, about to go their separate ways. Chris and Madison hugged, while Stacy and Randy gave each other a kiss on the cheek.
"We'll call you tomorrow." Chris said speaking for his self and Randy. The girls walked away and went to Madison's car. As they drove away they waved to the guys who were still watching them. Madison glanced over at here friend and saw her staring out the window with a smile on her face.
"I can tell someone had a lot of fun tonight." Madison said to her. Stacy just replied with an even bigger smile. Madison understood how she felt, for she felt a smile start to form on her face also.
The next day at work was a slow one for the girls. They had just gone out to grab something for lunch and brought it back to the store to eat. As they were eating, the store's phone rang. Madison looked at her friend, while Stacy looked at Madison. Madison set down her fork and sighed. "I'll get it." She ran out to the cash register to the phone. "This is M&S Outfitters, how may I help you?"
"Um…is this Madison?" A male voice asked.
"Yes it is. Who's this?" Madison asked suspiciously. Sometimes those damn junior high kids got her number and prank called the store.
"Hey…it's Chris. Remember me? From…" He started to say, but Madison interrupted him.
"Oh, hey Chris! Of course I remember you! I don't get called a ring rat every night now do I?" Madison asked jokingly. She heard Chris laugh on the other end.
"No, I guess not. Well, how are you?"
"I'm good. Stace and I are just starting to eat lunch."
"Oh, is this a bad time?" Chris asked, embarrassed.
"Oh no Chris! It's a cordless phone, so I can eat and talk to you at the same time. It's awesome." Madison said giggling.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I could be in the bathroom right now for all you know." Chris replied laughing.
Madison groaned. "Aw, Chris. That's disgusting." She sat back at the table with Stacy and stuck a forkful of food in her mouth.
"Hey Madison, Randy wants to know how's Stace."
"Mmmffb" Madison replied.
"Huh?!?" Chris asked her puzzled.
Madison swallowed the food in her mouth and repeated, "Yeah she's right here. Does he want to talk to her?" at the mention of her name, Stacy looked up. Madison just smiled at her, so Stacy knew they were talking about Randy. She reached over and tried to grab the phone, but Madison moved away. "Hey Randy. I don't know why but I don't think Stacy wants to talk to you." Madison said as she was moving about the room trying to get out from Stacy's reach.
"She doesn't?" Randy asked sadly. But she seemed to like me, he said to himself. Then he heard someone yell in the background.
"Give me the phone Madison! Don't tell him your fabricated stories! C'mon, give me the phone!" Stacy screamed as her friend kept running around the room from here, just one step ahead. Madison held the phone in one hand, and with her free hand, she reached down and picked up Stacy's hamburger. Stacy froze. "Don't you dare Madison Lee Duncan! Don't you dare." Madison smiled an evil grin and then took a huge bite. Stacy rushed her, grabbed the phone and the hamburger. "I hate you Madison." Stacy then heard a very faint voice calling her name. She looked down at the phone and remembered who was on the other line. She covered up the phone and whispered to Madison," I'll get you back Mads, oh, don't fret. I will get you back." Madison just laughed at her friend, sat down and continued eating her food. "Umm…hey Randy."
"Hey. Can I ask what in the hell was going on there?" Randy asked slightly amused.
"Eh…it's a long story. So how are you?" Stacy asked in a sweet voice. They continued small talk until Randy had to unpack and take a shower. "Chris, do you want to talk to Madison?" Stacy asked him, while looking at her friend with an evil smirk on her face. Madison just looked at Stacy in horror and thought to herself, Please don't let Stacy embarrass me now. Not now. Madison was surprised when all Stacy did was hand her the phone. But Madison knew that Stacy's payback would be later. "Hello?" Madison said, still looking at her friend warily. Stacy didn't even acknowledge Madison; she just started straightening up with a smile on her face.
"Hey, ummm…I was just wondering…well Randy and I are going to be around here for a few more days. And I was just wondering if you wanted to go out and grab something to eat. Maybe show me the sights." Chris said nervously.
"Umm…yeah. Sure no problem, when did you want to go?" Madison asked him just nervously.
"Would today be good? Well, I mean…all Randy and I have to do is unpack and take showers."
Madison looked at her watch. "How about you guys meet us here at our store, and then we'll go from there?" Madison asked him.
"You own your own store?" Chris asked her, surprised. "But you two are so young!"
Madison just laughed; she'd heard that ever since she and Stacey had opened. "Yeah, well, we both had big dreams. Plus we're not that young, I'm 25 and Stace is 23, nerd. M&S stands for Madison and Stacey. Creative huh?" She giggled.
"Yeah, very." Chris said laughing along with her. "So just give me the directions, and we'll be over there at….what time?"
"Come around 5 or 5:30." Madison then gave him the directions and they said their goodbyes then hung up. Madison looked up at her friend who was looking back with an expectant look. "Yes Stace, they're coming over here tonight. Chris and Randy are going to be in town for a couple more days, and they wanted to go sightseeing." Madison almost fell over after Stacey ran over and hugged her happily. "Aren't you glad I told you to put on actual clothes, not your sweats?"
"Hell yeah I'm happy! Randy's so damn sexy!" Stacey giggled. The rest of the day went normal for the girls, even though they kept checking their own watches and the clock on the wall for the time. Madison and Stacey were talking about random things to make the time go by when a flash of blonde hair caught Madison's eye. She looked out of the door, and saw Chris and Randy across the way from their store, looking VERY confused.
"Hey Stace, look who's finally here." Madison said pointing across from them at the guys.
"They look sooooo confused. Should we call them?" Stacey asked, looking at her friend. As soon as they looked at each other, they thought the same thing. "Nah!" They said in unison. So for the next ten minutes, they watched Chris and Randy wander around looking for the store. After having enough fun at the expense of the guys, Madison finally walked out to the doorway and yelled out the guys names. Byt his time, they were on the floor below the girls. They looked up, and followed Madison's pointing to get to where the girls were. Once they got up there, Madison and Stacey burst out with laughter.
"We've been watching you guys for the last ten minutes wander around." Stacey said. "Chris, you're excused cause you're blond, but what's your excuse Randy?" Stacey asked him, causing Madison and Stacey to laugh even harder.
"Hey!" Chris said. "You're blond too, Stacey!"
"Yeah, but at least I can find my way around a shopping center that only has 2 floors!" Stacey replied, chuckling. Chris and Randy looked down, embarrassed, but their faces brightened when they both received a hug from each of the girls.
"Aw…it's OK Chris. I still like you even if you're a bit on the confused side." Madison said, with her arms around Chris's neck. Chris stuck out his bottom lip which caused Madison to emit a slight giggle which made her cover her mouth quickly. "Oops. I tried to stop laughing, I really did!"
"C'mon Mads, while the boys keep sulking, we can close up." So the guys just sat talking to each other, while the girls hurriedly closed the store. They shooed the guys out the store, turned on the alarm, then pulled down the gate to lock the store up. As they walked to the parking garage, Madison and Stacey discussed where they could take Chris and Randy to sightsee.
"We could take them to Hollywood. Maybe to Guinness or Ripley's." Madison suggested.
"Oh! How could we forget Mads! Tonight is Halloween! Oh, we're definitely going to Hollywood tonight. They have the street blocked off; there'll be guys in drag, silly string everywhere. Oh yes, we are going!" Stacey said excitedly. Madison knew why they had forgotten. They were too smitten with the guys they had just met to even thing about anything else. Once they got into their separate cars, Madison signaled for the guys to follow her. Back at their house, as Madison walked up the stairs to the apartment the girls shared, she hoped that they had it looking decent. Madison couldn't remember she was so nervous. Luckily for her and Stacey, the apartment was actually cleaner than usual, since they had so much energy to burn the night before.
"Ok, Chris, Randy, you guys are going to dressed up as women. Stace and I will dress you, and you WILL like it." Madison said to them with a huge grin on her face.
"But…" Chris and Randy started to say, but they were interrupted by Stacey.
Stacey put on her best sad face and looked at Randy. "Please? It'll be so much fun! Pretty please?"
Randy sighed, then looked and Chris and shrugged. "Ok, fine." Randy said in defeat. Stacey's face instantly brightened and she ran into her room to get clothes. Madison just shook her head at how Stacey already had Randy wrapped around her finger and walked into her bedroom to get clothes for Chris.
