I went back to the arena with the guys. I knew that John and Aaron would want alone time so I went back to the arena. Plus someone had to do the hair and all so that was me. On the way back I rode with Randy and Rene. Randy asked me lots of things about myself. "Well I was born in London. I lived there until I was in my teens. Then we moved to the US. I met Aaron a few years ago and we've been best friends ever since". My story was kind of boring. I had good parents, good job (well now I did) and good friends. The only thing that wasn't good was that I was single.
We got back to the arena and I went off to do my stuff. I went through the usual routine of styling hair and added Fifi to the list. I was tempted to dye her green because of Rene's earlier comment but I didn't. I settled on putting a US Flag coat on her. I snickered knowing Rene would be mad cause his character was Anti-US. I finished her up and sent her with Torrie Wilson who had offered to drop her off with Rene.
I wondered about Randy, he had asked an awful lot of questions on the ride here. Maybe he was a naturally nosey person but I couldn't help but think there was more to it. Could he be attracted to me? Could he want to go out with me? I put these thoughts out of my head and looked around for a monitor I could watch the show on. It was a house show so it would be a little more loose and fun than the live show. Everyone tended to get a little goofy during them.
RANDYS POV
I sat in my locker room lost in my thoughts. I had gotten to talk to Elise on the ride over and I found myself really attracted to her. She seemed like a great girl. I was nervous though. I really wanted to ask her out but I had no idea on how to go about it. I know what your thinking 'Randy Orton has no idea on how to go about asking out a girl...bullshit'. But see this isn't any girl. This is Elise. I was brought out of my thoughts by Mark Jindrak walking in.
"I know where your head is" he said in a sing song voice. I rolled my eyes at him and began to get my gear out and change. Mark came over and sat on the bench in my room. He hummed "Going to the Chapel". I threw my kneepad at him and kept on changing. He changed his tune to "L-o-v-e". I was really beginning to get annoyed now.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I yelled at him, annoyed as hell. He just smiled at me, not phased by my outburst.
"Just trying to get you to admit you like Elise and to ask her out on a date" he said with a smug look. I wanted to smack him. Mark had always had this habit of being very in tune with people's feelings and sometimes it was very annoying. I sighed and sat down to tie my boots.
"OK I admit it I DO like Elise, but I mean I have no idea how to go about asking her out I mean I have never felt this way about a girl and that freaks me out man" some how Mark always got me to admit my feelings. I think its because he annoys me until I do.
"Want advice?" Mark asked, a little humor in his voice. I looked at him with a 'what the fuck' look. He was asking me if I wanted advice? Randy Orton lady killer. Huh. Advice my ass.
"Yes" I said looking at him with a helpless look. Ok so sue me even Randy Orton needed advice every once in a blue moon.
"OK well just go up to her and ask her point blank to go out. But be nice about it. Tell her you'll plan out everything, Elise likes a guy who takes charge. She wants to feel taken care of" Mark looked so sure of himself that I felt myself agreeing to follow his advice.
After my match I went to shower and redress. I planned on asking Elise out and I didn't want to smell like a barnyard. I showered and put on black dresspants, a red silk shirt, black faux leather jacket and my loafers. I wanted to look good when I asked Elise out. I put on a little Obsession and gelled my hair, damn I looked good. I nervously made my way to the room that Elise used for styling. I walked in and found her sweeping up. Her hair was tied back and she had a look of intense concentration on her face. She looked absolutely gorgeous to me. I cleared my throat so she would know I was there. She startled a bit and looked over at me, smiling.
"Hi" I said nervously "I uh...I wanted to come by and...see maybe if...you umm wanted to maybe go out and get a bite to eat" damn why was I stuttering, this isn't like me. I hoped she didn't think I was a dork. She smiled that smile at me and my heart fluttered. I nervously stood there, waiting on her decision. I hoped she said yes. I could die a happy man if she said yes.
"Yes" she said smiling at me "as long as I can go to the hotel and change first".
