"I wonder what Randy and Stacy are doing right now?" John wondered aloud.
"Why are you so curious?" Torrie asked suddenly.
"Oh it's just that Randy's gonna ask Stacy tonight to marry him." John blurted out.
"What? Wow! That's so cool!" Torrie exclaimed. She's all excited for her friend. She knows how much she loves Randy.
"Whoa! Don't tell anyone okay? Randy said it's best to hush it first." John said and Torrie nodded.
"So where to now Dr. of Thuganomics?" Torrie asked sweetly.
"We're gonna dance the night away babe." John said suddenly. He looked at Torrie nervously, waiting for her reaction when he said the word babe and was relieved to see her smile.
"You're just so pretty when you smile." John complimented. Torrie blushed a bit. She has already heard that compliment so many times and yet it feels so sweet when it comes from John.
"Thanks." She just said. "Where are we going again?" Torrie asked.
"Somewhere." John simply said. Torrie smiled secretly knowing that John wouldn't take her in a place that she wouldn't enjoy.
"Torrie, thanks for coming with me tonight." John said to her.
"Thanks for taking me out tonight John." She said simultaneously with John. They laughed a bit.
"Seriously Tor, you made me day when you said you'd go out with me tonight." John said, he was quite thankful that it was dark inside his car or Torrie might have noticed that he was blushing furiously now. And he thought he'd never blush like this time in his life!
"Really?" Torrie asked shyly. She had always been known to be quite aggressive when it comes to guys but when it comes to John, she'd act like some teenage girl who just had a talk with her first crush.
"I'd be doing nothing in my hotel room right now if I didn't go out with you." Torrie
"Yeah… So, we're here." John said and pulled the car over. He quickly came to Torrie's side and opened the car door for her.
"Thanks." Torrie said and smiled at him. John took her by the elbow and led the way inside the sophisticated bar.
"Hey, I know this is not exactly the type of date you've been expecting. You might be thinking that I'd bring you in some fancy hotel or a dinner by the beach but---" John started rambling nervously but he was stopped by Torrie. She pressed a finger to his lips to hush him up.
"That's okay. I'm really thrilled to be with you tonight. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna enjoy this night." Torrie said sincerely. "Come on."
They went to the bartender and Torrie ordered something to loosen up her nerves.
"One vodka martini please." Torrie told the bartender.
"Are you sure?" John asked her as Torrie finished the drink in one gulp.
"Whoa! Yeah, I need to loosen up my nerves." Torrie replied and winked at him. "Now this is more like me." She thought to herself.
"Don't get yourself drunk aiight!" John said and laughed a bit.
"Wow! Look! There's some live band tonight!" Torrie exclaimed happily.
"Yeah cool!" John agreed as he and Torrie pushed their way through the crowd to get in front.
"We have some Classic Special tonight!" the lead singer of the band said.
"Who'd want to sing for tonight?" the lead guitarist asked. "Wow look! It's Miss Wilson from the WWE!" the guitarist exclaimed when he noticed Torrie's figure among the crowd.
"Would you like to sing to us Miss Wilson?" the lead vocalist asked excitedly. Torrie's eyes twinkled like the stars as she turned her head towards John. John quickly understood that she wanted to sing and just nodded.
"Go ahead. Give them your best. I'll be here listening to you." John said and kissed Torrie's hand good luck.
"Cold hands, warm heart." He told her and squeezed her hand in assurance.
"Thanks John." Torrie said and made her way to the small stage.
"Looks like she's here with John Cena!" the drummer said. A lot of oohs and aahs were heard across the room. John just smiled as Torrie blushed again.
"What classic song would you like to sing?" the vocalist whispered to her.
"Everlasting Love by Sandra." Torrie said shyly as she secretly looked at John.
"Alright." He replied and told his band mates what to play.
"Let's hit it! One, two, three!" and they were off. Torrie started singing and moved her body to the beat. She has a fantastic voice, John admitted as he listened to her voice. The song was kinda cheesy and Torrie kept her eyes on John during the whole time she was singing to song.
...Open up your eyes
then you'll realize
Here I stand with me everlasting love.
need you by my side
there's so need to hide
You'll never be denied
everlasting love!
From the very start
open up your heart
Be a lasting part of everlasting love...
"That was awesome! Thank you Torrie!" the band said together.
"How did I do?" Torrie asked excitedly and nervously as she approached John.
"You did great!" John said and embraced her tightly. And right on cue, the band played a sweet classic song, Crazy for You by Madonna. Torrie looked over her shoulder to see the band smiling at her and John.
"Wanna dance?" John whispered to her.
"I'd love to." Torrie replied as John loosened his embraced and danced with Torrie in the sweet beat. She rested her head on his shoulder and let John guide her throughout the dance.
...I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you
Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye we need no words at all...
After the song has finished, John looked at Torrie in the eyes and saw something. Something that made him really happy. But it was all too perfect to conitnue…
"Torrie I---" but he wasn't able to finish his words as a newcomer came to Torrie's side and pulled her away. It was none other than…
"Sweetie, what are you doing here?" Billy asked with a fake smile plastered on his lips.
"Bi-Billy?" Torrie asked nervously.
"Yes sweetie. This is Billy." He said super sweetly. "What are you doing here with Cena?"
"We're just hanging out." Torrie said as she looked at John apologetically.
"But does Mr. Cena here know that you're with me?" Billy said and smiled evilly at John.
"Yo, Billy, we were just hanging out. Nothing more." John said and smiled bitterly.
"Oh, so you wouldn't mind if I take Torrie now so we could go home." Billy said as he gripped Torrie's wrist tightly. Torrie winced a bit but never let John see it.
"Sure, why would I mind?" John said and turned to Torrie.
"Billy, you just go ahead, I'll follow." Torrie said and Billy hesitantly agreed.
"John, I'm sorry if this is how our date ended." Torrie said shamefully.
"It's okay, it was no one's fault. You'd better go. Billy's waiting for you." John said and tucked a few strands of hair into her ear.
"I did have a very wonderful night. I will never ever forget this." Torrie said and kissed John not on the cheek but on the lips. John was shocked and couldn't move. He didn't see Torrie wipe away tears from her cheeks.
"Torrie?" was all he managed to say.
"How am I suppose to love him when I'm stuck with Billy?" Torrie thought bitterly.
"At least he knows that I really like him." Torrie thought again. "He does, doesn't he?"
