Chapter 7

"I Want A Reason"

------------------------------------------------------------

Aundrea walks down the hallway towards the parking lot, where she's meeting Randy for dinner. She taps her fingers to a beat, softly, against her stomach as she readjusts her purse on her shoulder, and then her duffle bag on the opposite shoulder.

Upon arrival to the door, she stops and takes a deep breath before walking through the sliding doors. She looks around the parking lot and sees Randy leaning back against his car, wearing a pair of black dress pants, a silver dress shirt and a black leather jacket. She looks around the parking lot, and bites her lip as she flashbacks to about 4 months ago.

"You're anything from stupid. I;m leaving because I don't want to hurt you anymore." Aundrea just watches from the wet cement as Randy stands up, looking down at her. His baby blue polo t-shirt sticking to his skin, in all the right places, This scene, Randy Orton in the pouring rain, is any woman's fantasy, but under these circumstances, it isn't the best fantasy for Aundrea.

Her large, chesnut brown orbs looking up at him, as you can tell mostly by her eyes she's been balling her eyes out. Their eyes meet in the last eye lock for a long time, before he slowly closes his eyes and looks away from her when he reopens them, She watches him walk away from her, across the parking lot. "Randy" She calls out, but is not loud enough for her love to hear because of the raspiness of her normal voice, mixed with the raspiness of her voice from crying and choking on tears. (A/N: think Titanic) "Randy, come back.. Come back.."

The door of the arena closes, as the door to her heart closes at the same time. Randy walks into the arena leaving Drea sitting outside in the pouring rain, leaving her.

A smile makes its way across his lips as she walks over towards his car, as she smiles slightly in return. She reaches the car, and stands in front of him, wearing a pair of black dress pants, with khaki colored fur boots covering the bottoms, and a teal colored camisole that has lace trim at the top and bottom, with a khaki colored peacoat on over it. "You look.. amazing, Drea."

"Thanks." She smiles a little at Randy as he reaches for her duffle bag, which she lets him take. He opens the passenger side door for her, as she nods and sits inside the rental car. He walks around the car, stopping at the trunk, as he pops it open and puts her duffle bag in next to his, before closing it and walking to his side.

Randy gets in the car, and turns the ignition on, before looking over at Aundrea, who has her head against the window, watching him. "I remembered 2 years ago, when we were in Denver, this little Italian restaurant downtown that we went to, and you loved, so I figured we'd go back tonight."

"We were dating then."

She tucks her bangs back behind her ear as he looks forward, and starts driving. "I kno, and I figured you'd say that, but I want this to be a nice night, and hopefully bring back alot of good memories."

"Fine."

She turns away from him, and rests her head against the headrest, and watches the road as he drives. Randy glances over at her, to see Aundrea rubbing her belly a little bit, while humming to herself.

------------------------------------------------------

After the rest of a silent car ride to the hotel, Randy parks the car, gets out and then walks over to Drea's side, and opens her door for her. He puts his hand out for her, which she reluctantly takes, as he helps her out of the car, shutting the door behind her.

When inside the restaurant, Drea leans against the wall next to the hostess' booth, as Randy goes right up. "I have a reservation under Orton."

The hostess searches through the reservations book for the night, and finally spots it. "ah, yes, right this way." Randy lets Aundrea go a little bit in front of him as he goes to wrap his arm around her waist. She senses it and turns around, glaring at him, and shaking her head. He tucks his hands into his pockets, as he mouths 'sorry' to her. She nods and slides into the booth at the table the hostess showed them to, as Randy slides in across from her."Can I take your drink order."

"I'll have a diet coke, please."

"Ya know what, can you make that two?" The hostess nods and walks away from the table as Aundrea looks away from the table, but when she turns her attention back to Randy, she can tell he's been watching the her since the hostess left the table. "You know you look amazing tonight?" She smiles and ducks her head away a little bit. "You really do. do you know if it's a boy or a girl, yet?"

She shakes her head, as fidgets with her silverware. "No. I wanna wait and be surprised."

"do you have any names in mind?"

"Aurpra Janelle, Emerson Rose and Josie Elizabeth for girls, and Ryan Keith, Jayson Thomas or Joshua Phillip for boys."

"You have Keith as an option for a middle name."

"Nothing else clicked with Ryan." She smiles over at him a little, which slowly fades away as she looks away from the table again.

Randy runs a hand through his short brown hair, as he watches her suck in her lower lip. "Aun, I'm sorry."

She slowly turns back to him, and raises her eyebrow, as she leans down on the table. "I want a reason."

"I thought you deserved better than me, because--" Aundrea locks eyes with him, as she bites on the inside of her mouth. "I cheated on you."

Aundrea's glance falls, as she leans back in the booth. "When."

"6 months ago. It ate at me for two months, so thst's why I broke up wtih you. I was stupid, Drea."

"What did you do, and with whom?"

"Why do you wanna know this?"

"Cuz if need be, I can go whoop their ass."

"That makes it alot easier telling you." Aundrea glares over at Randy who nods and continues. "Stacy. All we did was kiss, and I thought it was being really unfaithful to you, and I couldn't go on with it. It was the night that you didn't want to come out with us, and I got loaded, and I made out with her. That's all we did."

"You broke up with me over that? I mean, I'm mad that you came back to the hotel room, and went to bed with me after that, but that's all you did? Randy Orton, you have to be the stupidest person I've ever met. We wouldn't be here if you just told me."

"I know, and I'm so sorry for that. I tried calling you to pick a meeting time and place, but you never answered or returned my calls."

Aundrea takes a sip of her drink as she ponders on what exactly she should say, "It was so hard to talk to you. I came close, really really close to answering a few of those phone calls, but I just couldn't. It hurt way too much."

"I know, but I just want you to know how sorry I am." Drea nods and looks back down at her menu for a second. "And I also want you to know how much I still love you."

Those four simple words, that mean so much to Aundrea, make her head rise, to face Randy. So much emotion ignited in her with those four words, as a sweet smile makes its way across her face. "I still love you too, Rans." She sucks in her lower lip so she doesn't start crying. "Believe, I never stopped."

Randy reaches across the table and takes her hand, and then slowly brings it up to his lips, leaving a soft kiss on the top of her hand. "How about I pay for our drinks and we head back to the hotel, order some room service, and just talk?"

"I'd like that."

Randy smiles and pulls out his wallet, as he reaches inside and pulls out a $20, only to toss it on the table to cover their drinks, and a pretty nice tip for their waitress. He stands up and slips on his coat. Randy offers Aundrea his hand as she smiles and takes it, as he grabs her peacoat for her and helps her slip it on. He wraps his arm around the petit brunette's waist as they walk out of the restaurant.

Author's Note: Yes, it's my time to talk again. Ain't ya excited. SOOO sorry that it took me so goddamned long to update this story. I know I promised an update last friday, but here's my excuse:

Thursday: Was gunna start the update after I took a shower when I got to my dad's but def. didnt have enough energy. We had the Thanksgiving game, and my bf came, even tho it was like 30° out. He's so sweet, he got me prob 4 hot chocolates :D.. as well as Kev, Brendan, Matt, Mike, Charlotte, Nikki, and Trina hot chocolates cuz we couldn't go anywhere but the stands and the bus. Of course I went to the bus for a while, with my boy, but thats another story, for another time. Left at half time, drove home, got mi shit, drove to NH, listened to the end of the game, (We won 13-4 in double overtime) and then I had to babysit after we ate, so it sucked :D

Friday: I never go shopping the day after Thanksgiving, but I did this year with my dad's girlfriend. Big fun, I know. I was up at 4:15, well 4:30 really by the time I actually left my bedroom. Anyhoo, we were at Wal-Mart at 5AM, and weren't home until about 1:30 that afternoon, including stopping for lunch. I went back to bed when I got back to Dad's cuz I was guna die. Woke up around 5pm, watched Madagascar with my dad and his gf, and my 2 neices. I love how they didnt understand half of the stuff we were laughing at. and then watched Smackdown.

Saturday, went shopping again. Helped Pops pick out clothes for me for Xmas, went out to lunch, drove back to MA, went to work, came home, starting typing this chapter.

Sunday: My final band parade of '05. Marched Bass and it's a 1.5-2 mile parade, which is a bitch, so I was sore as hell when I got home, not to mention cold, so I gave up on the update, even though it's written out.

Monday to Today: We found out Monday that my HS marching band isn't competing next year, and I've been really busy with school work, work, the fall play, which was tonight, and is tomorrow and saturday. But I've been really busy bugging my band director to at least let Drumline do Indoor this year, cuz all of our really good drummers are leaving this year, except for Mike, Chris and Rob.
