I Need You Tonight

Chapter 6

Seeing You Again

--two weeks later--

---Smackdown! Taping---

Natalie walked into the arena in a red pantsuit, and moved right on into her office, which was completely far away from any of the wrestlers, especially the only one on her mind at the time, Randy Orton. Tonight, was his first match and she knew that she would have to talk to him after tonight because of the next weeks' schedule. After she sat down for a little while, there was a knock at her door, she figured it was one of the Creative team.

"Come in." Natalie said working on her computer, when she was shocked to see it was Randy.

"Hey Natalie." Randy said walking in the door and shutting it.

"Hi Randy, any particular reason, you're in here?"

"I just wanted to know why you are so damn far away from the wrestlers, crew or even other members of the Creative team."

"I like to be private, keep away from people."

"From me? You mean. Right?" Randy said cockily smirking.

"No, Randy. You're one of my talent, I don't find anything at all, attractive or me being attracted to you, why do you have to be so god damn cocky? I'm engaged."

"You seem to use that engaged excuse often?" The younger man stood up.

"It's not an excuse, it's the truth, Randy." Natalie said looking away from him.

"Whatever, I don't understand why you just don't go out with me, once."

"Temptation, Randy." Natalie said and then realizing what she said too late.

"Temptation? I thought you just said you weren't attracted to me." Randy said knowing that he got her just where he wanted her.

"It came out wrong."

"Yeah sure, now there's an excuse. If you want to, meet me tonight at Starbucks on 29th Street, midnight."

"I'll think about it."

"I know you will be there, baby." Randy winked and walked out the door. Natalie knew right then and there that she would definitely have to make a date to Starbucks.

--11:30 p.m.--

Natalie walked out of the Smackdown venue changed into a tank top tee and a pair of faded jeans and Converse sneakers. She had to be quick because she didn't want anyone especially Missy and Penny knowing about her little "date" tonight, but since she was having bad luck, here came her two best friends.

"Natalie, where the hell have you been?" Penny asked all motherly.

"I had a lot of work to do, and I can't get it done with you two bozos so, I asked for a place by myself."

"Oh, alright hon. Are you going out tonight?"

"Nah. I just want to go back to bed."

"Oh okay. We are going out with the Big Show and a couple other guys."

"Alright, have fun." Natalie stepping into her rental car and headed off to the nearest Starbucks. She parked her rental in the parking lot noticing there was a couple cars there, hoping that none of any WWE people were there. She opened up the door and walked in to see Randy sitting back in a booth, hat on.

"Hey, I knew you would come."

"Yeah, lemme order, I'll be back." Natalie came back 3 minutes later with a hot chocolate.

"So what did you want, Randy?"

"I just want to be friends with someone. Hell, half these people don't like me because of my last name, and the other half already has their own cliques."

"I see. But I don't understand, why me?"

"Because, first when you met me, you completely were unimpressed me."

"I told you that I was un-attracted to you, not that I was unimpressed, and who knows, I could have been lying?" Natalie winked.

"So what's up with you and Paul?"

"Engaged, Orton. We met about a year ago, moved in together and here we are two months from getting married."

"Awesome. You must really love him, huh?"

"Not as much as I should. It's just…eh, I don't know how to explain it. I like him a lot, I like being around him, but that age difference drives me absolutely insane, I am so not like Jessica Simpson, getting married at 22. I'm not like that. I've talked to him before about the whole situation, and every time he convinces me that we should. I don't even know why I'm telling you this."

"Nah, I don't care. At least I'm getting to know you."

The friends only couple talked for the next two hours, ending up at the beach til about 5 am.

"Holy shit, It's 5 am. I got a flight in two hours."

"5 am? Hell, we talked for 5 hours." Randy said.

"Yeah, let's go back to the hotel."

"Alright."

They arrived back at the hotel fifteen minutes later.

"Thanks for a great night, Randy."

"You're welcome. See you in Orlando."

"See ya."

--the next day--

"God, Natalie you are not with it today. What's wrong with you?"

"Wedding." Natalie lied.

"Well hon, you look tired."

"I couldn't sleep last night." Another lie, Natalie thought.

"Oh well, hon. You better get working. Kylie is coming today. I think your fiance is also coming as well."

"Paul's coming?"

"Yeah, he called last night right after you left your office and left a message."

"Oh that's great." Natalie said lying again, knowing full well that she wanted to be with Randy tonight.

--at the next venue--

Randy wasn't there yet when Natalie arrived and that was even harder knowing and hoping that Randy would get there before Paul did. Luckily, as soon as she turned around, there was Randy.

"Hey." Natalie said running over to him.

"Hey baby."

"Randy, please don't call me that, well in front of people anyway."

"Fine, Natalie." Randy said accentuating Natalie.

"We can't go out tonight, Paul's coming."

"Oh, alright. How long is he staying for?"

"Don't really know. Just got the message this morning."

"Oh okay. Just call me when you want to get together, baby." Randy said knowing they were alone, and with that, he softly kissed her on the lips.
