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 think I'd be sharing him with all of you? Anyways, I don't own them but I am using them in my story. I only own my OCs and the storyline which I have created. Hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 6 – Hitting the Road
After Randy left Alex and Cameran cleaned everything from dinner up and then Alex went up to her room to pack. Cameran had gone to bed early which was shocking because she usually went to bed really late. The next morning Alex woke up very excited for the day ahead. But, with all the excitement involving leaving with Randy, Alex had completely forgotten that Cameran was leaving today too. She was heading back to California and Alex had no idea when Cami would get the chance to come back for another visit.
Alex remembered all of this when she woke up so she jumped out of bed and rushed into the guest room where Cameran was staying. She jumped onto the bed waking Cameran up. Before Cami could even figure out what was going on, Alex was giving her a huge hug and saying how sorry she was that Cami's last night in Fair Grove was so boring.
"Oh my gosh, Cami I completely forgot that last night was your last night here. I feel so bad because I only thought about me yesterday and how I had to get ready to go."
"Alex can you let me breathe." Cameran had returned Alex's hug but was now trying to break free of her grasp.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to suffocate you." Alex let Cameran go.
"It's okay, now what's all this about you being sorry?" She gave Alex a confused look.
"I'm just so sorry that your last day was such a bum because it was all about me."
"Alex, my last day wasn't a bum. I had a lot of fun hanging out with your family and Randy. I was happy that you were happy with what I had done for you."
"Oh Cami, I am so excited." Alex flashed a huge smile. She just couldn't stop grinning because she was so excited.
"I knew you would be. Are you all ready to go?"
"Yeah, I packed last night so I think I'm all set."
"When is Randy coming?"
"He is coming around eleven or so. When does your flight leave?"
"I have to be at the airport at 10:30. So, I should probably leave here by 9:30. Its 8 now so I better go take a shower and get ready to go."
"No, you can't go I'll miss you too much." Alex grabbed a hold of Cameran again like a little child and wouldn't let her go.
"Alex, c'mon I really have to go get ready." Alex didn't budge.
"Promise me you'll come visit me again soon or that I can come visit you." Alex gave Cameran the puppy dog face.
"Fine, we'll figure some way of hanging out again soon. Now, can I go take a shower?"
"I guess so." Alex let her go.
"Thank you." Cameran walked out of the room and went down the hall to the bathroom. Alex followed her out of the room and went downstairs to make some breakfast.
After Cameran finished her shower she went to get dressed and to make sure she had everything packed and ready to go back home. Then she headed downstairs with all her stuff and saw that Alex had made her pancakes. The two ate together and talked. They didn't really talk about anything in particular just a bunch of things like how Alex was excited about her week ahead and how Cameran was excited to get back to Los Angeles to do some more auditions. By the time they had finished breakfast it was time for Cameran to leave. Alex was really sad to see her go. She wished that she could go to the airport to say goodbye but the airport was an hour away and Randy was coming to get her at 11 so it wouldn't have worked. Cameran was at the door and ready to leave so Alex gave her a huge hug and Cameran hugged her back and they said there good-byes. Cameran walked out the door, got in her rental, and waved good-bye to Alex as she was driving away. A couple of tears fell down Alex's cheeks because she didn't know when she would get the chance to see Cameran again. They were best friends and it was hard having Cameran live so far away.
Then Alex recovered quickly because she got excited again about the man coming to pick her up at 11. She went into the kitchen to clean up breakfast and then headed upstairs to take a shower and get ready to leave.
It was about quarter to 11 and Alex had gotten out of the shower and was just about finished getting ready when the doorbell rang. She looked at the clock and noticed it wasn't 11 yet. She wasn't quite ready to go because she hadn't done her hair or make-up yet so she was really hoping that it wasn't Randy. She rushed downstairs to answer the door.
When she opened the door she was thankful it wasn't Randy. It was a man delivering flowers. In his hand was a single red rose and a card. She took the rose and thanked the man. Then she opened the card that came with it. The card said:
Alex,
I'm looking forward to our week together. I realize you will be away with me so you won't be able to enjoy this beautiful flower for very long but I still thought you would like it even for a short time. I wasn't sure what your favorite flower was but I figured I couldn't go wrong with a red rose. I'll be there to pick you up shortly.
Randy
Alex was amazed. For the short time she had known Randy, he never ceased to amaze her. The way he had interacted with her family the night before and sending her a rose this morning was just beyond what she could of imagined he was like. She was so amazed she almost forgot that she had to go finish getting ready. Then she remembered so she went to the kitchen to put the rose in a vase and then headed upstairs. She put the vase with the rose in it on her bathroom counter so she could "enjoy" it like Randy said while she was getting ready.
Alex had done her make-up and finished her hair. It was now 11 and she had just barely brought her bags downstairs when the doorbell rang again. She opened the door and there was Randy Orton, right on time.
"Good morning Alex" Randy said with a smile.
"Good morning to you too Randy and thank you very much for the rose. That was very thoughtful of you."
"You're very welcome. Are you ready to go?"
"I think so. Hopefully I remembered everything I will need." Alex grabbed her carry on bag and was just about to grab her suitcase when Randy grabbed it for her.
"I'm sure you did now let me get that for you. I'm sure I can handle it so you won't have to." Randy smiled at her and faked not being able to lift it but then lifted it with ease.
"Thank you." She laughed and returned his smile.
With that they headed out to the waiting car. Randy explained how Vince and the rest of the WWE crew were already headed to the airport except for the cameraman that was riding with them and filming. Alex still didn't like the guy filming her and Randy but she had agreed to it because she didn't think Vince would have allowed the contest to continue if she hadn't agreed to the filming part. She couldn't have let that happen because she really wanted to get to know the real Randy Orton and this was her chance.
Randy still couldn't get over how beautiful Alex was. He was afraid this contest was going to put him with some crazed stalker fan but he ended up really lucky when he got Alex. She was genuine, sweet, and not bad on the eyes either. He was still wondering what she really thought of him but he didn't think he would ever figure that one out. She was really shy and Randy had a feeling that she hadn't been treated right by guys in the past just because of the way she interacted with him. He hoped that she would learn to trust him if they were going to be spending a week together and that maybe she would open up to him about her past. He only knew about her family and beyond that she had stopped sharing information about her past. Maybe it was the camera but maybe it was because she had a troubled past that was hard for her to talk about.
During the car ride to the airport, they were both pretty quiet. Alex noticed that Randy seemed to be deep in thought. She didn't know what he was deep in thought about but she was thinking about him. She knew she was a shy person and she was working on fixing that part of her personality. It wasn't that she was uncomfortable around Randy because, to the contrary, he made her feel very comfortable. It was just that with the cameras she didn't feel completely comfortable sharing a lot of the details of her life with Randy. If the cameras weren't there she figured she probably would have been talking to Randy a lot more about her life.
They were both pulled out of there thoughts though because they had arrived at the airport. They both got out of the car and this time Randy grabbed his own bags so Alex had to carry her bags but she didn't mind. It wasn't like she couldn't handle it on her own. They were greeted by Vince McMahon who led them to his private airplane. For their first trip to Arizona, Vince was going with them so he had decided that they could all take his airplane. For the rest of the week Randy and Alex would be traveling on regular airplanes.
They boarded the plane and Alex and Randy sat in a section with, of course, their ever present cameraman. Vince and the rest of the WWE crew that was on this trip were spread out in the rest of the plane. Randy realized then that he and Alex hadn't really talked very much since he had picked her up so he thought he would initiate some conversation. He noticed she looked really nervous.
"What's the matter? You look really nervous. Aren't you excited to be spending the week with the Legend Killer?" He gave her a cocky grin.
"Yes, of course I am but…but…"
"But what?"
"I'm nervous because I've never been on an airplane before." She gave him a shy little smile.
"Really? Its okay don't be nervous." He wrapped his arm around her and gave her a slight hug. "Airplanes are nothing?"
"That's easy for you to say. You go on them all the time."
"No really, its okay. I'll be right here with you." He gave her a reassuring smile.
"Thanks." She returned his smile and then there was an awkward pause. She still didn't know how to talk to Randy in front of the camera and she could tell that Randy didn't know how to get her to open up. Then she had an idea. She leaned over and whispered in his ear so that the cameraman couldn't hear her or read her lips.
"So, when are we going to ditch this camera guy?" This comment made Randy smile and he understood what she was doing so he leaned over and whispered in her ear the same way she had.
"I don't know but we'll have to figure out some way, won't we?"
She continued whispering. "Yes we will, I don't think this whispering thing will work for very long."
They both smiled as the cameraman gave them a disapproving glare because they were whispering and he couldn't hear them.
"Oh, by the way." She said. "My favorite flowers are yellow roses." She gave him a smile to which he returned and they just sat there. Not really wanting to talk but ready for the trip ahead.
This trip was definitely going to be interesting.
