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 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 9 – Meet and Greet
The next morning Randy decided to get an early start and head to the gym to work out. He had to wrestle that night for Raw so he wanted to be ready. He figured Alex would still be sleeping so he just decided to head down to the gym. He left his hotel room and of course the camera guy was sitting there. It was Greg, the camera guy they had on the plane. His partner, Alan was the one they had the night before. Greg and Alan had apparently switched sometime during the night or this morning.
"Hey, I'm just heading down to the gym to workout." Randy said.
"Okay." Greg answered. As Randy was walking down the hall, Greg was trying to figure out where Alan had said Alex had gone. He couldn't remember but he didn't really care either.
As Randy walked into the gym he was relieved to see it was empty except for one person. One person wasn't going to bother him though so he didn't really care. Then Randy noticed that the one person was Alex.
"Hey, what are you doing down here and up so early?" Randy asked walking over to Alex.
Alex turned to him and was surprised to see him. "Hey, I like to workout in the morning. And you?"
"The same. I find the morning to be the best time to workout. It gives me a chance to collect my thought."
"I feel the same way. So Alan didn't follow you? I told him I was going to the gym."
"No, Greg was outside my door when I came out and I told him I was going to the gym."
"Hmm, Alan must not have told Greg where I went. I guess we are just lucky, aren't we? We avoided the camera guys without even trying."
Randy laughed. "Yeah, I guess we are lucky."
They both proceeded to workout. Alex was running on the treadmill and Randy was working on his arm and leg muscles. Even though they were alone not much was said between the two of them because they were both really into working out. After working out for about an hour Alex felt her stomach rumble.
"Randy, I'm kind of getting hungry."
"Yeah me too."
"Why don't we go shower and then I can take you out to breakfast."
"You're going to take me out to breakfast?"
Alex smiled. "You better believe it."
Randy laughed. "Alright. Whatever you say."
They left the gym and headed back to their hotel rooms. As they were walking up the hall towards their hotel rooms Greg noticed they were together and he mentally kicked himself. Greg hoped that no one else found out about this little incident where Alex and Randy were together and not being filmed. If anyone did he knew he would be in a lot of trouble. If he only knew how much he had already missed and was going to miss.
Randy and Alex both went into their hotel rooms to shower and get ready to go out to breakfast. Alex emerged from her room a half an hour later in fitted jeans and a T-shirt with flip flops. She went and knocked on Randy's hotel room door to see if he was ready to go. He came out dressed in jeans and a T-shirt with sneakers. The jeans fit him just right and Alex couldn't help but notice how great they made his butt look.
They walked down the hall with Alan in tow and went to a little restaurant for breakfast. Breakfast was pretty uneventful and a little awkward. Alex didn't think she was ever going to get comfortable around the camera. After breakfast they had a few hours to kill so they just walked around and did a little shopping. Then Randy took her to another little restaurant for lunch. After a couple more hours of walking around, shopping, seeing sites, and talking they headed back to the hotel so Randy could grab his stuff. Then they headed to the arena. Randy took her to catering so they could grab some food before the show and so he could introduce Alex to some of the other wrestlers. In catering there were a few wrestlers around. Randy introduced Alex to a lot of them. She met Christy Hemme and found her very bubbly and energetic and she liked her immediately. Then she met Shelton Benjamin and he seemed very nice. She enjoyed talking to him. Next Eric Bischoff came over and introduced himself.
"You must be Miss Roberts, the lady who won the contest."
"Yes, but please Mr. Bischoff, my name is Alex." She said outstretching her hand to Eric.
Eric took her hand and shook. "Nice to meet you Alex, and please my name is Eric."
"I hope you enjoy the rest of your week with the WWE. I'm sure Randy here is being a great tour guide." Eric stated with just a bit of sarcasm.
"Yes, Randy is being a perfect gentlemen." She laughed when Eric looked surprised by her statement. "I'm really enjoying the experience so far."
"That's good. I'll see you two around."
"He seems very nice." Alex turned to Randy and said.
"Yeah, he must be in a good mood today. Its still early though, he might get a little stressed out later when it gets closer to live TV. When he is stressed out he isn't so nice."
Alex laughed. "Really? I can't imagine. You know most people do get a little mean when they are stressed out."
"Yeah, I know." Randy said with a laugh.
"Oh my gosh." Alex got really excited. "Can you introduce me to Shawn Michaels?"
Randy laughed at her excitement. "Yeah sure, he is right over here." Randy led Alex over to where Shawn was. "Hey Shawn."
Shawn turned towards Randy. "Oh hey Randy. And who is this pretty little lady."
"This is Alex Roberts. She is the contest winner which means she gets to spend a week traveling with me."
"Hmm, lucky her." Shawn said with just a hint of humor. Alex couldn't help but laugh which caused Randy to shoot her a little glare.
"Alex here, was dieing to meet you." Randy said just because he knew it would embarrass Alex.
Alex eyes shot out of her head. "I was not." She shot Randy a glare of her own. "Randy here just couldn't stop talking about you so I had to meet you."
"What!" Randy said.
Shawn started laughing. "Well its nice to see someone can finally put Randy here in his place. I don't believe either one of you though."
"Well you can believe Randy. He may have exaggerated a little but I really did want to meet you." Alex said. "I just like to embarrass him sometimes."
"Well its nice to meet you, but I have to go get ready for the show. I'd like to talk to you again though. Anyone who can trade comments with Randy here is okay in my book."
"Alright, see you later." Alex said with a laugh. Randy was giving her a little glare so she just smiled up at him with a little angelic smile. "What?"
Randy just shook his head and laughed. "Nothing." Then Randy noticed John Cena across the room. "Oh, there is John. John is one of my best friends." He led Alex over to John. "John this is Alex Roberts, the contest winner. Alex this is John…"
"…Cena. Yeah I know. Its nice to meet you John." Alex stuck out her hand for John to shake. She was immediately attracted to him. He was no Randy Orton but that doesn't mean he wasn't equally gorgeous.
"Yeah, nice to meet you too." John shook her hand. "So, you coming out with us later?"
"What?" Alex was confused. She didn't have any idea what John was talking about.
"Man, you didn't tell her yet." John asked Randy.
"No, not yet." Randy turned to Alex to explain. "Usually we go out after Raw just to hang out. John was just asking you if you wanted to go too. We don't have to though if you don't want to."
"No, it should be fun. Let's go."
"Alright, then its settled. I'll see you guys later." John said as he walked away.
Alex continued to meet a few other wrestlers but then it was time for Randy to get ready for the show. The show went off without a hitch. Alex had the option of sitting in the back and watching the show on one of the monitors or getting front row seats. She decided on the front row seats since she had never been to a live event before. The experience was amazing and she loved it. After the show Alex and Randy went back to the hotel to change and get ready to go out. Alex was excited to hang out with the wrestlers more and see what they were really like. Randy just hoped that Alex would have a fun time and that he wouldn't do anything to upset her. Neither of them had any idea how interesting this night was going to get.
A/N – I know parts of this chapter were a little rushed but I have a serious case of writer's block and I didn't really know what else to do. Please just bare with me. I think I said before that Randy was still on Raw just cause it worked better with the story but all of the other draft changes I kept the same. And if you haven't noticed Randy isn't injured so he is wrestling. Its my story so my rules. Thank you so much to all of my reviewers:
RKOxLegendKiller – I'm glad you loved it. I still have that case of writer's block that I was telling you about but I'm working on it.
TrishStratusfan2007 – It was kind of cute, wasn't it?
CenasAngel16 – Alex is beginning to open up but she is still a little guarded.
101mizzpoet101 – You're right, things are starting to get juicy but just wait, there is more where that came from.
Roxxy1984 – Isn't Alex just the sweetest to accept Randy even with his flaws?
andonly – Alex does deserve to be treated right. Maybe Randy can do it.
RKOBlueEyes – I wanted Alex and Randy to know stuff about each other before jumping into anything.
jess01 – You're welcome. I'm glad you loved it.
shady-angel821 – Me too!
Words cannot even describe how awesome you all are and how much I appreciate you all. Thanks so much and please continue reviewing in your thoughts, comments, and suggestions.
