Chapter 12 – At the Club

As the elevator went down Danielle was slowly getting more and more excited about her upcoming night out. She was also getting more and more nervous about seeing Randy there. She really didn't know how she could approach the issue of lying to him earlier about having a boyfriend. She was afraid that he would be really upset with her and she didn't want Randy to be mad at her. She was the type of person who usually tried to avoid confrontation which was why she had avoided Randy in the first place. The elevator stopped and the doors opened so Danielle stepped of the elevator into the lobby of the hotel. It was only about 11:20 so Danielle didn't expect to see Trish waiting in the lobby but to her surprise Trish was there and ready to go.

Trish of course looked amazing as always wearing form fitting jeans, strappy heels, and a cute blue tank top that showed off just a hint of her stomach but gave her of course some very nice cleavage. She was standing there looking around for Danielle when she noticed her step out of the elevator. Trish headed across the lobby to meet Danielle.

"Hey Trish. You haven't been waiting have you? Didn't you say you would meet me at 11:30?" Danielle looked extremely sorry as if she was late when in actuality she was early and had nothing to worry about. She didn't want Trish to have to wait for her which is why she had come down early in the first place. They were friends but Danielle always seemed to be trying to please Trish when really Trish just wanted Danielle to relax.

"Danielle, don't worry. I just barely got here and yes I am early but if you are ready to go then we can go." Trish was trying to reassure her. She just wished that Danielle would try and relax which is why she wanted her to go out in the first place.

"Okay, bring on the fun." Danielle said with a smile.

"That's the spirit. I want you to relax tonight and have an awesome time." They headed outside to a waiting taxi.

"Wait, don't you have a rental. Why are we taking a taxi?" Danielle was very confused she figured Trish would drive the rental car she had.

"I never take my rental when I go out to the club because I never know how much I'll drink or who I'll end up going home with." Trish stated with a very nonchalant tone.

"What?" Danielle was shocked that Trish would say such a thing about being easy because she knew, at least she thought she knew, that Trish wasn't like that.

"Relax Danielle, I'm only kidding but seriously I always take a taxi because its just easier than trying to worry about a designated driver."

"Okay it makes sense." With that said the two hopped into the taxi and headed to a club where a lot of the WWE superstars were hanging out for the night.

When Trish and Danielle walked into the club a few minutes later they immediately headed to a table to join a bunch of Trish's other WWE friends. Of course Danielle already knew them all but not extremely well. At the table there was Chris Irvine also know as Chris Jericho, Amy Dumas also known as Lita, Adam Copeland also known as Edge, Jay Reso also known as Christian, and Lisa Varon also known as Victoria. They were all just friends hanging out except for Amy and Adam who had recently become a couple after Amy's controversial split with long time boyfriend Matt and Adam's divorce. Jay and Chris were both married men but they liked to go out still and hang out with their friends. Lisa, Danielle, and Trish were all single and ready to have some fun.

As soon as Danielle got there, she could feel that someone was watching her and she was almost positive it was the legend killer himself, Randy Orton. She didn't see him but she had a feeling that he was there. Everyone at the table ordered a round of drinks except Danielle. She really wasn't a big drinker. She had the occasional glass of champagne or glass of wine but she didn't really like drinking when she went out. She didn't like not being in control and she felt that drinking meant she wasn't in control. Everyone at the table was encouraging her to let loose and just have some fun but she declined. They understood and didn't push her any further.

Randy had gotten to the club at around quarter past 11 because he had gotten ready at the arena. As soon as he got there he got a table and he was actually sitting by himself because Ric, Paul, and Dave had all decided to stay in tonight which Randy understood because they were all married men. He didn't mind sitting by himself though because it meant he wouldn't be distracted so he could watch the door. He wanted to watch the door so he would know when Danielle got there. As soon as she walked in with Trish, Randy was amazed at how beautiful and absolutely amazing she looked. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her. But he had to keep reminding himself that they could only be friends and that was it because she had a boyfriend.

Danielle could still feel Randy's eyes on her but she still hadn't noticed him yet. Then she noticed him at a table all by himself just watching her. As soon as he saw that she had noticed him he took his eyes away because he didn't want her to know that he had been staring at her but she knew. That thought made Danielle smile. Then Danielle was pulled out of her thoughts about Randy because Trish was asking her a question.

"I'm sorry Trish, what did you say?"

"I said lets go dance. I mean that's why we came here right?"

"Right, lets go."

So the whole table headed to the dance floor. Adam and Amy of course started dancing extremely close and were having a blast while Jay, Chris, Trish, and Danielle kind of just danced around each other but not with anyone in particular. Lisa had gone to the ladies room earlier and was now dancing with a really cute guy on the other side of the dance floor. Danielle was having such a good time dancing with everyone that she almost forgot about Randy watching her. When she turned her head to see if Randy was still there she noticed that he was still there and watching her. Randy of course looked away again as soon as Trish noticed him.

Randy had been sitting and watching Danielle dance for a while. He really wanted to just go up and talk to her but he really didn't know what to say. Ever time she looked his way he would look away and then look back as soon as she went back to doing whatever it was she was doing. This little game between Danielle and Randy didn't go unnoticed. Trish noticed it and was very curious about it.

After almost an hour of dancing the group returned to the table, except for Lisa who was still of dancing with a different cute guy now. More drinks were ordered and again Danielle declined but this time did order some water. She could again feel Randy's gaze on her and Trish noticed it too. She decided that it was time she found out what was going on between Randy and Danielle.

"Hey Danielle, you want to come to the ladies room with me?" Trish cocked her head towards the ladies room.

"Sure Trish, be back in a bit guys." The two headed towards the ladies room. After they were out of ear shot Jay asked a question that he had always wondered about.

"Why is it that women always go to the bathroom in pairs?"

"Don't look at me, I'm married and still don't know anything about what goes on in a women's brain." Chris answered with a laugh.

"Its just something we do to get men like you wondering." Amy said

"Oh really, there isn't any other reason?" Jay asked

"Well sometimes it may be to freshen up or sometimes its because we want to talk about something that we don't want you men to hear about." The whole table laughed about that one.

Trish and Danielle had just entered the ladies room. Danielle couldn't imagine why Trish would have wanted her to accompany her to the bathroom but from the look on her face Danielle assumed Trish had something on her mind.

"Okay, so what's going on with you and Randy."

Danielle was surprised. She didn't think that Randy was going to be the subject of their conversation. She decided she would try and play it off as nothing. "What are you talking about?"

"Danielle you know exactly what I'm talking about. The two of you have been playing staring games since you got here and don't think I didn't notice the tension between the two of you earlier today in catering."

"Was I that obvious?"

"You weren't but Randy has been staring at you all night and I've seen you stare his way a good number of times too. Wait, do you have feelings for Randy?" Trish got a smile on her face.

"No, wait yes, I don't know."

"How can you not know?"

"Look, Randy was a really good friend when I needed him and I started to have feelings for him then I misunderstood something and avoided him then he talked to me and I told him I have a boyfriend. Everything is just so messed up." Danielle brought her hands to her face and just shook her head. She was just so confused.

"Wait, you have a boyfriend?"

"No, wait yes…no, I told Randy I have a boyfriend because I needed time to figure out my feelings but I don't really have a boyfriend but you can't tell Randy that." Danielle was rushing out her words so Trish could hardly understand her.

"Wait, slow down. So, Randy thinks you have a boyfriend but you really don't?"

"Yeah" Danielle shook her head yes.

"Danielle this is quite the mess but you obviously have feelings for him and the way he has been staring at you all night, I think he has feelings for you too. Why don't you just go tell him the truth and let your feelings sort themselves out."

"You know that is the same advice Ric gave me."

"Well its good advice. Go talk to him right now." Trish was very firm and demanding.

"Wait Trish, I don't know what to say." Danielle was trying to get out of doing it.

"Danielle, relax, you can do this. Just tell Randy the truth and how you feel about him."

Danielle took a deep breath. "Okay, I'll be fine, I can do this." She was trying to convince herself.

Trish practically pushed Danielle out of the bathroom and towards Randy's table. Trish returned to the rest of the group at their table and Danielle slowly walked towards Randy's table. She was extremely nervous about what Randy would say and she didn't even know what to say to him but she was determined that she had to do it now. If she didn't do it now it would just get harder and harder the longer she waited.

As Danielle approached his table, Randy knew she was coming. He didn't know what Danielle and Trish had talked about in the ladies room but he did know that now Danielle was coming towards him with a look of determination on her face yet also looking very nervous about something. Danielle reached the table and Randy readied himself for what she was going to say.

"Hey Randy, can we talk?"

A/N – Sorry guys but I'm going to leave you hanging until next chapter to find out what Danielle is going to say. I expected to have that in this chapter but it was getting longer than I usually write so I thought I'd build a little suspense. I hope you all enjoyed and please continue reviewing cause I love the reviews.
