Chapter 08: Can I Kiss You?
Three weeks later...
"Babe, you're doing great!" Randy smiled, watching his girlfriend who was already trying to walk without support.
She had just been released from the hospital a week earlier hence they would just return every day in the morning for her physical and psychological therapy.
Stacy giggled. "I really have to get used to the fact that I'm your girlfriend." She told him, stumbling a bit. Fortunately, Randy caught her.
"Woah! Careful!"
She giggled once again as Randy helped her walk towards a chair and sit down. "Do you need anything? Water? Are you tired?" he asked her one by one as she shook her head.
"It's okay. I'm fine. What time do I finish?"
Randy rolled up his sleeves and checked his watch. "Actually, you're done." He told her.
"Yey!!!" she cheered, clapping her hands in delight. "Can we go get some ice cream?"
Randy grinned. "Sure. Whatever you want, babe."
And so, grabbing her crutches, they headed towards Randy's car and drove off to the nearest ice cream parlor.
Later that night in the hotel, as both Randy and Stacy finished changing into their sleeping attire, they both laid down on the bed and did their separate things. Randy watched TV while Stacy read a book.
Suddenly, Randy turned the TV off then twisted towards her and just watched her in awe. Feeling his eyes upon her, Stacy looked down and indeed, she found him staring.
"Yes?" she asked, smiling.
"Oh don't mind me." Randy told her, smiling back.
"How can I not mind you when you're there staring right at me?" she giggled.
Randy just smiled, placing his head on his hand. "You know? I miss kissing you."
Stacy blushed, ducking her head and tucking her hair behind her ear. "Oh?"
"Can I kiss you?"
Her eyes widened a bit at the question as she looked at him once again. Slowly, he leaned closer until he captured her lips in his. They stayed like that for a while before Stacy placed a hand on Randy's cheek and stroked it gently as Randy made the kiss even deeper. After a few moments, he pulled away, looking straight into her eyes.
"God, I miss doing that." he whispered.
Stacy smiled for a while before leaning in to kiss him again.
Two weeks later...
"This is really great, Randy! She can already walk by herself! She's recovering fast!" Amy exclaimed, watching as Stacy played on the swing with Chris Jericho.
"I know." Randy nodded.
"Pretty soon, she'll be getting her memory back. I mean...she did remember Vince when he talked to her." Hunter pointed out, making Randy smile.
"Yeah..."
"So when did the doctor say she could go back to wrestling?" Batista asked.
"Well...she just needs to rest her back for a couple of months. Plus of course, she has to remember how to wrestle. Then she'll be back in the ring." Randy stated.
"That's good."
"But right now, does she remember anything wrestling at all?" Trish asked, raising an eyebrow and watched as Stacy laughed out loud at what Chris had just told her.
Seeing this, Randy laughed as well. "Hey Chris! Don't go polluting my girlfriend's head!" he jokingly yelled before turning back to the conversation. "Actually, she does remember a few moves. The other day, she was talking to the TV 'coz it didn't want to turn on. And she threatened it that if it didn't turn on, she'd have to give it a piledriver."
"That's kinda scary, Randy."
Randy laughed. "She was joking of course. I was there. She even knows the RKO and the bulldog."
This put a smile on all their faces. "I'm glad she's picking up quick." Hunter spoke.
"Me, too."
"Hey Stacy...do you remember this place?" Randy asked as they were driving through the streets of Las Vegas.
Stacy eyed the place hard before shaking her head. "No...I don't. Why? What about this place?"
"This was where we had our first date." Randy told her.
Hearing this, Stacy smiled. "Really?"
Randy nodded his head. "Yup."
"Wow..." she sighed as Randy continued to drive.
"Stacy...don't you remember this mall at all?" Amy asked as she held the leggy blonde's hand and showed her around. She, Trish, Stephanie and Stacy were currently at a mall they always shopped in but Stacy just shook her head.
"Not even a tiny bit?" Stephanie asked.
Again, Stacy shook her head.
Amy sighed in defeat. "This was where you lost the diamond earring Randy gave you and we spent the whole day just looking for it! You even said you wouldn't leave the mall until you find it, even if it closed!" Amy told her. "And we found it six hours later inside the women's dressing room!"
Stacy giggled at the story. "Really?"
"Yeah!" Trish and Stephanie replied in sync.
"Aw come on, Stace! You gotta remember this one!" Chris told her, showing her a pose of the Hurricane.
Stacy laughed. "I really don't! Sorry!"
"You used to call me Penguin Man every time I imitated this pose!"
Stacy laughed once again. "Yeah?!"
Chris snickered. "Don't worry. You'll remember it once you get your memory back." he smiled.
One evening, Stacy laid down in bed and watched as Randy flipped through the channels. Out of the blue, she began singing.
So many nights
Legs tangled tight
Wrap me up in a dream with you
Close up these eyes
Try not to cry
All that I've got to pull me through
Is memories of you
I'm falling into memories of you
The things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that we can share
Falling into memories of you
Things we used to do
Hearing her sing this particular song, Randy turned off the TV and gave Stacy an inquisitive look. "Where'd you hear that song, babe? In the radio?" he asked.
Stacy shook her head. "No..."
"Where'd you hear it then?"
Stacy shrugged. "I don't know. I just sort of...knew it."
Randy smiled. "Really?"
