Disclaimer: I don't own Randy Orton (shucks!) or any other WWE superstar that may appear in my story. They are the property of themselves and Vince McMahon. If I did, do you really think I'd be sharing Randy with all of you? Anyways, I don't own them but I am using them in my story. I only own my original characters and the storyline, which I have created. Hope you all enjoy!

Chapter 19 – Dinner for Two

After the meeting in the airport Randy, Ric, and Danielle all went to the hotel. Randy wouldn't tell Danielle anything about where they were going no matter how much she begged. He simply told her they were going somewhere nice to celebrate her return. She kept trying to get more information out of him but he wouldn't budge.

When they got to the hotel, Randy went to his room to get ready and Danielle went to her room to settle in and get ready. She couldn't wait to see what Randy had planned. Danielle couldn't figure out what came over her in the airport. She had literally run across a crowded airport just to jump into his arms. It was strange but in his arms she always felt perfectly safe and protected. She was scared to think about what that meant.

After a little while Randy emerged from his room in tan dress pants and a black button down shirt with the top couple of buttons undone. He headed to Danielle's room to see if she was ready yet. Danielle had just barely gotten out of the shower when she heard a knock on the door. She wrapped a towel around herself and went to answer the door without even thinking about the fact that she was only in a towel. As she opened the door, she looked out to find Randy standing there looking ever so handsome with an expression of shock on his face. Then Danielle looked down and realized what she was wearing or wasn't wearing.

"Sorry. I just got out of the shower but I can be ready soon." She opened the door more. "You can come on in and wait for me." Randy walked in and closed the door behind him as Danielle went into the bathroom to finish getting ready. He sat down on the bed to wait for her. She emerged shortly in a deep blue halter dress. It had ruffles around the bottom and was slightly shorter in the front than it was in the back. She had her hair half up and half down with soft curls throughout the bottom portion that was down. She looked drop dead gorgeous.

Randy stood up from the bed. "Wow, you look amazing."

"Well, thank you. You look pretty damn good yourself. Ready?"

Randy walked over and put his arm out for her to take. "If you are?"

She took his arm and they walked out of the hotel arm in arm. Randy had a dinner planned at a great little restaurant in Philadelphia. When they got to the restaurant, Randy led Danielle outside to a private terrace. This terrace was so gorgeous. It was completely private and had a table for two in the middle. The entire terrace had little white Christmas style lights all around it which made it look magical. There were candles on the table and champagne was chilling to the side. The terrace was only lit by the tiny lights, candles, and the moonlight. It was a breathtaking site.

"Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful!" Danielle exclaimed as she saw the site before her.

"I'm glad you like it." Randy pulled out a chair and motioned for her to sit. She sat down and he took the seat across from her.

"How did you manage all of this?" She said motioning to the entire setup on the terrace.

"It's a secret. I'm just good, I guess." He gave Danielle a smirk.

"Well, I love it." She smiled back at him.

Then a waiter appeared to take their order. They ordered and then the waiter left, leaving them alone again. "Do you want to dance?"

"What? There isn't any music."

"Really?" All of the sudden soft music started to play. It was a slow song and Randy took her into his arms and they started to dance. The two of them just danced for a while. Neither of them said a word. They were just enjoying the feeling of being in each others arms. Then their food arrived so they returned to the table. They ate for a couple minutes in awkward silence until Randy broke the silence.

"So, is the food good?" He gestured towards her plate.

"Oh, its delicious. This is just so sweet of you to take me out to dinner." She gave him a huge grin.

"Well, I wanted to welcome you back properly. I have a confession to make though."

"Really, and what would that be?"

"I never had any intention of having Ric join us for this dinner. He knew I had this planned but I didn't want you suspecting anything."

Danielle got an upset look on her face. Randy was afraid for a moment she was upset with him. Then she just laughed. "That is your confession? I figured that out when I saw the table for two set up. I thought you had some big secret to share with me."

"Oh, nope that was my confession for now. My deep, dark secrets will come later." Randy replied with a laugh.

"Really?" Her interest was peaked now.

"Yeah, if your lucky." He sent her a little grin across the table.

"Hmm, and what might Randy Orton have for deep, dark secrets?"

"You'll just have to wait and see."

"Yeah, but I'm terrible at waiting." She whined.

"I've noticed."

Danielle just smiled and went back to eating her food. Randy did the same. They continued eating in silence until they were both done. The waiter returned to take their plates and see if they needed anything else. They both said that they were fine. After the waiter left there was another awkward silence. Neither of them really knew what to say. It would have been obvious to anyone that they had feelings for each other but neither of them said anything. Finally Danielle decided to break the silence.

"Well, this was really nice and really sweet of you." She crossed her arms and got a really determined look on her face. "Now, do you want to tell me the real reason you wanted to bring me here. Don't give me any crap about a celebration dinner because I know that isn't true."

For a second Randy was speechless. He couldn't believe she had seen through him that easily. He tried to deny it. "No, really I just wanted to celebrate having you back on the road again. It is going to be great having you actually talk to me this time."

Her face remained determined. "Well if you don't tell me the truth maybe I won't talk to you again."

"Danielle?" He said with a little puppy dog look on his face.

Danielle's expression didn't change. "Randy?"

"Fine, do you really want to know?"

"Yes!" She replied in a tone of exasperation.

"Alright, just let me get all of this out before you say anything."

"Fine." Danielle leaned in so she could really listen to what Randy had to say.

"That night we first met, when you bumped into me in the hall, I immediately thought you were gorgeous. You were crying hysterically and I still thought you were beautiful. I offered to help you and we went to that little coffee shop and talked. That was probably one of the best conversations I've had in my entire life. You captivated me from that moment on. Then I was devastated when you didn't talk to me for the next two weeks and I couldn't figure out why. Anyways when you kissed me in the club and we spent the night talking, I knew I was hooked. After we fought and you were in the car crash I was overwhelmed by so many emotions. I was angry, upset, sad, and then I realized I had another emotion. It was love. They past weeks of us talking and visiting while you were recovering have confirmed it. Danielle, I love you. At least I think I love you…I mean I know we've only known each other for two months but…"

Danielle had stood up and put her finger to his lips. She walked over to his chair and sat on his lap by straddling him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and just looked at him. "Is that all?" She said with a smile.

"What?" Randy was confused.

"Randy, I've known this for a while too. I love you." Then she moved in and softly kissed him on the lips. It was a quick kiss and then she pulled away. Randy was amazed and he leaned in a kissed her. This time the kiss quickly turned very passionate. They both had their hands roaming all over each other's bodies. Their tongues were dancing in and out of each other's mouths. Finally Randy pulled away leaving Danielle wanting more.

"Wait, before we continue this any further, I have to…" Before he could finish Danielle had captured his mouth with hers again. They went into another round of passionate kissing. Danielle's hands were running through Randy's hair and Randy's hands were working their way underneath her dress. Before anything continued further though, Randy pulled away again. "No, wait, I really do need to tell you something."

"Fine" Danielle said with an exasperated tone because they had finally admitted their feelings and now Randy just wanted to talk. "What do you need to tell me?"

"It might be easier if you weren't on my lap." Danielle took the hint and discontinued straddling Randy's lap. She went back to sit in her own chair. "Alright, shoot."

Randy hesitated for a moment. He knew Danielle would probably be pissed about what he was about to tell her but he didn't want any secrets between them. If they were really going to have a relationship, he wanted it to be secret free. "Well, you see, I've know for a while how I felt about you. I actually admitted I loved you the day of your accident. The last six weeks have solidified this feeling for me but I knew then."

"Alright, that's really great." She got up to go kiss him again.

"No, wait. I'm not finished yet." Danielle sat back down. "While you were in North Carolina recovering, I called you every night and I knew I loved you."

"Yeah, I know all of this."

"Danielle! Would you just let me get this out?" Randy got up from his chair and started pacing.

"Okay." She was getting kind of worried about Randy. She had never seen him this worked up about something.

"Anyways, I knew I loved you but I got lonely. I controlled myself for a little while but then I started going out to clubs again. I'd talk to you on the phone and then I'd go out. I usually just made out with women just for the heck of it. It wasn't that I had feelings for them. I usually didn't have sex with them it was usually just making out but I did with a couple. Afterwards I always thought of you and I was disgusted with myself. I just don't want to have any secrets between us."

Danielle stood up. She was shocked. Of all the things he could have told her, that was the last thing she was expecting. She just looked at him like she was about to cry and then she walked away.

"Danielle, please wait. I'll take you back to the hotel." Randy ran after her. She was outside hailing a cab when he reached her.

"Randy, just stay away from me right now. I can't even look at you, I am so disgusted."

"Danielle, please, I just wanted to be honest."

"Yeah, well I'm being honest too. You say you supposedly loved me but you were having sex with other girls. That…I don't even know what to say to you. Just leave me alone for now." With that Danielle jumped in a cab and it drove away leaving Randy on the sidewalk feeling sorry for himself.

He couldn't believe he had been so stupid. He wished he could go back and change what he had done but he couldn't. He only hoped that Danielle could forgive him.
