Thanks for all reviews!
Chapter 9
"I don't want to be humiliated by Benoit again!" Orlando Jordan yelled at me at our next show, when he had read our last couple of scripts.
"You don't have much other choises, if you don't want troubles." I sighed. " And can't you go and whine to Teddy for a once. I'm tired of calling every week to writers only for reason, that your character sucks."
"Why Benoit has to win me so many times so fast?" He puffed.
"You have to go and ask that from Teddy or call writers." I sighed.
"But…"
"Livia, Dave asked me to get you. He isn't sure when he should go and shut JBLs blabbering mouth." I turned to Bob Howard, who had interrupted Orlando. I wondered a bit, that why I had to go tell that, it didn't belong to my job description. Then I saw his amused expression.
"Okay, I have some work to do. Suck it up, Orlando." I said to him and left with Bob, when we were out of Orlandos hearing, I looked at him.
"Dave didn't really ask you to find me, did he?"
"No. It just seemed like you needed help." Bob laughed.
"Thanks." I laughed too.
After a while I saw Randy and we talked a while. Though I was thinking about that, what Stacy had said, that I should ask him about the carnations. I decided to do that later on, because I wanted to be in some peaceful place when I would ask about it. Soon I saw Stacy and looked at her smiling.
"So Stace, have you settled the date?"
"Well…Yes, we're going out tonight." She answered and I gave her a hug.
"That is so awesome. I'm happy for you."
Then I slapped her on bottom, harder that it was my intention and I shaked my hand because it had hurt a bit. Stacy watched at me a bit amazed and amused.
"Ouch, what was meaning in that? That did hurt."
I decided that it was best for me to retreat a little and I went behind Randy.
"Don't let her kick my ass, please."
"Of course not, don't worry. I'll protect you." He laughed taking me to his armpit.
"You look so cute together." Stacy looked at us smiling and I blushed fiercely.
"Hmm.. Yes… Well…I have to go...Work..." I stammered at the same time, when I slipped away under his arm. Then I turned and walked quite fast away, but I did heard them laughing after me, specially Stacys giggling I heard loud and clear...
I was really confused about what had happened lately. Well, thing that Chris and Stacy were finally together, was positive and the rest would be up to them. But then there was Randy… He was always so nice and caring towards me... And there was the thing what Stacy had said about flowers... Everything was so messy, that my little brains just couldn't deal with that.
I saw Benoit and Heidenreich sitting at backstage, I went to them a bit hesitantly, but I wanted to talk to Chris. In the other hand, I didn't want so much talk to Jon...
"Ah, Livia. How are you?" Jon looked at me when I entered the room.
"I'm alright. Jon, about that night after Summer Slam..." I started though I didn't have any idea what I should say to him.
"Don't worry. I didn't jump to any kind of conclusions." He said laughing. "Though you did say that you love me and practically proposed me."
" Proposed? I did not! You have to be kidding!" Oh my God, this just couldn't be true!
"Actually you did. But don't worry, I didn't take it seriously. I know that you don't want to marry me..." Jon laughed.
"Yes, no…I do like you but..." For some reason I hadto now try fix those things what I had blurred out earlier...
"I like you too, but you're just not my type." He grinned and probably guessed my thoughts, because then he stated. "I won't tell to anyone."
I glanced to Chris, who looked like he was choking when he tried hard not to laugh.
"Chris at least knows, he is sitting there." I answered bit dryly.
"Ah yes, I forgot…" Jon grinned.
"Okay, can we talk about something else? Say, I heard that your date will be tonight, Chris."
"Stacy told you?" When I had nodded, he continued." Yeah, we are going to dinner after the show."
"I'm really happy for you. Stacy is a great woman, but you know that, don't you? And I'm not saying this only because she is a good friend of mine."
"Yes, she is a great woman. I just hope that I won't disappoint her.." Chris said seriously.
What the hell he was talking about? How Stacy, or anyother woman in that matter, could be disappointed on him?
"I'm sure you won't. Stacy likes you and you like her. Or what do you think, Jon?" I looked at blonde, who was listening silently our conversation.
"You're absolutely right. They seem to like each others…" He answered.
"So, there you heard. No worries, Stacy won't care if you would take her onlyto McDonalds for dinner, the main thing is that you are with her."
"Well, I am going to take her a bit better place than McDonalds." Chris laughed. "But what about you and Randy? When you are going to have a date?" Well, that I wasn't expecting at all.
"I and Randy? Why we should go on a date?"
"It can be clearly seen that he likes you. And Stacy says that you like him, though you are fighting really hard against it." Chris smiled.
"Have you talked with Stacy about us?" I was so confused about everything in this world at that moment.
"Yes. And you are cute together…Like Stacy would say." Chris laughed.
"Oh yeah, right."
"Chris has a point there." Jon intervened. "And Randy did send you those carnations too."
He closed his mouth when I looked at him overwhelmed. Did everyone know who had sent those damn carnations? Besides me, naturally. I wasn't infact surprised that he knew this, like I have said, that man knows everything.
"Stacy did say that I should ask him about those. But how could he have known?" I said mainly to myself, but Chris gave me an answer.
"Stacy told him. She just didn't think that you are so clueless what it comes to Randy."
"Okay, well…Work… I have work to do…" I'm so talented pleading on my job, when I'm at uncomfortable situation, don't you think?
"Have fun with Stacy!" I said before I left Chris and Jon lauhing in the room
After the show I was waiting my uncle outside his lockerroom, when I saw Randy and his father coming towards me. Stacy and Chris had left to their date for a moment before and I had asked them to have fun once more. Though I had no doubt that they wouldn't have fun, at least Stacys eyes were practically shining already.
When Ortons were few steps from me, Randy whispered something to Bob, who nodded and then he passed me smiling widely. Randy sat next to me on the bench.
"I heard that your missionwas a success. Chris told me that he's having a date with Stacy tonight."
"That's true." I smiled widely.
"You are surely happy?"
"Oh, yes I am."
Then we sat few minutes in silence, and at least I tried to figure out what I would say next. Then I decided to go directly to point and looked at his eyes.
"Thank you."
"For what?" He looked at me a bit wondering.
"For helping with Chris and Stacy." I hesitated a bit. "And for those flowers..."
"So you finally found out that those were from me?" Randy smiled.
"Yeah. Stacy hinted about it and Heidenreich told it straight to my face. I just couldn't guess that those were from you." I answered.
Then Marks lockerroom door opened and before he came out, Randy stood up.
"Livia, I really do like you. Don't care about my reputation, even half of it what you might have heard isn't true."
Then he walked to outer door and I was speechess when I looked after him.
"What did Randy say? You look somehow confused." My uncles looked at me closely.
"Nothing…" I answered in a absent way, because at that moment I realized, how much I really liked Randy and how clueless I had been.
And the next chapter will be the last one...
