As soon as we got into the suite Ric came over, "Show me the dress." I raised an eyebrow, "Oh really?? You want to see, but you didn't want to help pick it out?" Ric nodded, "Of course. Just show me what it looks like on the hanger, I'll see you in it later." I rolled my eyes, "You got it gramps." And I moved the plastic bag off the dress. Ric nodded, "Yea… I can see that looking stunning on you Andrea." I looked at him shocked, "Aww… thanks Ric, that's really sweet of you to say." Ric laughed, "Sweet or not, it's the truth." And with that he sat back down to watch TV.
"Where's Paul?" "He's off with Steph." I nodded, "Okay… he'll just have to wait 'till later to see the dress then." I went to my room and hung the dress up in the closet. I grabbed my cd's out of my bag and walked back out into the living room. "'Kay guys, I'm gonna go outside and listen to some tunes. You know where to find me if you need me." I started to walk out to the balcony and Randy said, "How much time are you gonna need to get ready for your date?" "I dunno, about an hour or less. Make sure that I'm back in here by then, 'kay?" Randy nodded so I started back out to the balcony.
--This is what Andrea's Thinking… if I confuse you I'm REALLY SORRY!--
I sat down at the table that was out there and started to think about how much my life had changed in the short months that I had worked with the WWE. When I was younger I'd always been a wrestling fan, I remember watching WWF and WCW with my dad every Saturday morning. My dad and I would watch cartoon together and then we'd watch wrestlers kick each others ass'… it's kind of funny when you think about it. Wrestling has influenced my whole life, and considering I never met any wrestlers until after I was in college it's kind of sad… but at the same time my life would be completely different without the WWE in it.
I had two passions throughout life… well when I got older that is. I wanted to be a teacher ever since first grade, my teacher was awesome and I wanted to be just like her. I went to college at Iowa State University for 2 years before I found out that teaching isn't all it's cracked up to be… THAT and the requirements for teachers are actually REALLY hard.
So I thought about my second passion: wrestling, the WWE to be exact. I never had the passion (or the guts) to train to be a wrestler, I was afraid I'd get my ass kicked or worse I'd injure myself while trying to become a wrestler… so basically I tried whatever I thought would get me involved in wrestling.
I thought about becoming a writer for the WWE so that I could write storylines for the company, I even thought that it would be cool to be a part of WWE magazine. Then I thought it would be awesome to be a photographer for the company, I'd get to take pictures of all these hot guys, and the girls too, and it'd be awesome. I even thought about being part of the ring crew, you know the people that help put the ring up and take the ring down for EVERY event. The last one didn't sound like too much fun so I crossed that off my list first.
I was sitting at home with my dad over the summer watching RAW. My dad isn't in to wrestling anymore… but for whatever reason he puts up with it for me (personally I think he just likes to see Trish and the other Diva's shake their stuff, but I COULD be wrong). Back to what I was thinking… my dad, he's the main reason that I actually work for the WWE today. He knew how much I loved the business, and he knew how much I wanted to be involved, so he helped me think of tons of ways to get into Mr. McMahon's company.
My dad owns his own company, an engineering company, so he knows how to get what he wants. He's told me so many stories about what his employees have done that have pissed him off it's not even funny. He puts up with a lot of shit actually, if he weren't such a nice guy I don't think half the people would still be working for him. SO… somehow, someway my dad found out that McMahon was looking for personal assistants. I'd never been a personal assistant in my life, I still don't know how I got hired, I sure as hell wouldn't have hired me… I mean think about it, the only job experience I had was working for my dad during the summers… quite pathetic.
All in all I owe my dad BIG TIME… if it weren't for him I'd probably still be sitting at home or at ISU trying to do something that gave me no passion. Then I got to thinking about my mom… Dear Old Mom. She hates wrestling, can't understand why ANYONE would watch the stuff. She thinks it's way too violent, although I've tried to clue her in many times she just won't change her mind. Although my mom hates wrestling she knows how much I love it and how much I love my job so she supports my decisions about my life.
My sister however… she could give a shit. She's at that age where if it doesn't involve her she really doesn't care to know about it. She's 17 years old… and probably the biggest bitch I know. I realize it's bad to think your own sister's a huge bitch… but that's the case here. I try my hardest to be nice when I'm around her but it just doesn't work. The only reason that she ever talks to me is to get something from me or out of me. She doesn't give a whit about me… BUT she thinks my job's awesome. All the hot guys… of course she likes it, she would have to be pretty drugged up not to like it.
--Back to reality--
Randy broke me from my thoughts when he came out onto the balcony, "Rea… you've been out here for a long time hun. You've got just a little over an hour before you're supposed to leave with Dave." I got up and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Thanks Orton. You can be a sweetie sometimes… not usually… but sometimes." I had a big grin on my face when I said the last part and Randy knew that I was joking.
I went back inside to go take a shower so that I could start to get ready. After I got out of the shower I dried my hair. Then I started to fix my hair, I left half of it down and the top half I put up and curled the ponytail part. Then I also curled the ends of my hair. After that I started the makeup. I decided to just go with neutral colors. So I put on beige eye shadow, black eyeliner and black mascara. I put on some clear lip gloss and I was all done.
I went back into my room and put on my dress. Then I grabbed my shoes and went into the living room. I sat down on the couch and turned to Paul who was sitting on the couch next to me, "Where's Dave?" "Oh… he'll be right back. He just had to put something in his rental." I looked questioningly at Paul.
Ric and Randy came into the room, "WOOO!! Look who's looking fine!" I shook my head, "You big goon!" Ric just laughed, Randy smirked, "Oh whatever Rea… you know you're a knock out… I mean, Dave's taking you out, you've got to be hot." I just glared at him, "Thanks… so that mean's Dave doesn't go out with ugly chicks?" Randy shook his head, "Not what I meant… and you're not ugly." I just looked at Randy skeptically, "Rea… you really ARE beautiful. Why don't you think so?"
I just looked up at Randy, "I don't know. I just don't think of myself that way." Paul shook his head, "You should. You really are a beaut hun." I just gave Paul and Randy a kiss on the cheek, "You guys are the sweetest." Ric looked offended, "Where's my smooch?" I rolled my eyes and gave Ric a kiss on the cheek too.
Just then Dave came back into the room. "Flair… what are you doing? Trying to steal my date?" Ric smiled, "Yea, you know I can't resist a beautiful woman." I blushed and looked down at my feet. Dave walked over to me, "Are you ready to go yet Babe?" I looked up at him, "Yes I am. Where are we going anyway?" Dave just smiled, "Can't wait any longer?" I rolled my eyes, "I guess I can… if it really means that much to you."
He smiled, "You look beautiful, like always." I blushed, "Thanks. You look very sexy in this suit by the way." Dave was wearing a pair of black dress pants and a black suit jacket with a white dress shirt on underneath the jacket. We just stood there and stared at each other for a while.
Eventually we left for our dinner reservation. When Dave pulled into the restaurant I had a big smile on my face, "Did you know how much I love the Olive Garden?" Dave shook his head no, "I actually just knew that you liked Italian food so I figured that you would like the Olive Garden." I smiled at Dave and he parked and got out to open my door for me. Did I mention how much of a gentleman Dave was?? If I hadn't, I just did now didn't I.
We ate dinner at the Olive Garden and then after dinner we got back in Dave's rental car, I had no idea where we were going, no idea at all. Dave drove us to the city park, where he helped me out of the car and then sat me down on the porch swing. He went back to his car and grabbed a cd player and a cd from the back seat of his rental.
Dave put the cd in the cd player and it was a slow song, he sat down beside me and asked if I wanted to dance, I said yes so we started to dance. The entire cd was slow songs and we danced for quite a long time. There were times that we chatted while dancing and there were also times that we were quite and just enjoyed dancing in the park at night. It was one of the most romantic dates I've ever been on, and I enjoyed it more then I would have had we done anything else.
**Author's Note** I hope you guys liked it. It took me a while to write it and I'm glad that you like the story so far. Again I would like to thank all the people that have reviewed my story. I'll try to update as soon as possible… OH, and I haven't forgotten about Into the Light… I just don't really know what to do for it. If anyone has any ideas let me know. THANKS EVERYONE!! Please review!
