Ch 4
Authors Note: Sorry once again for the slow updates, I'm trying to get better at that. Sorry if the French isn't dead on, I never really learned that much even though I had it for 3 years of my life LOL so I just used a translator for most of it. Thanks for the reviews, keep them up!
Disclaimer: I own no one
After we landed we both went and picked up our bags. I don't know why we did, because we should just get on a connecting flight over to London, but no Randy insisted that we get our bags and then find out the flight information. While we were waiting in line I picked up my cell phone and called Stephanie.
"Hey Steph." I said. I better let her know what is going on before we get in any more trouble than we already are.
"Trish! Where are you! And is Randy with you! The show starts in 3 hours!" She said into the phone. She sounded angry but relived at the same time.
"Yeah, about that..." I trailed off.
"Ugh, this better be good. You know Vince isn't going to be happy about this." Stephanie said.
"You see, long story short, me and Randy hopped on the next flight to London since we both missed the first flight. So on the way over we hit this huge patch of turbulence, the plane had some problems, so we had to land in France." I said. Hopefully she'll understand.
"Well at least you both are ok. When are you two going to get here?" She asked, not nearly as annoyed now.
"I'm not sure. We're finding out now. I'll give you a call when we find out." I said as we advanced in line.
"Alright, I'll talk to you later then." Stephanie said as she hung up the phone. That was one of the great things about being friends with the boss's daughter. Vince would have probably blown up at me for that, but Stephanie is pretty cool about stuff like that. Most of the time anyways.
"What'd she say?" Randy asked me as we moved up in line again.
"Eh, nothing really. She just wants us to call again once we find out when we are going to get to London." I replied as we once again advanced in line.
"Ah, alright. Stephanie seems like she's alright." He said.
"Yeah, she's pretty nice. When she wants to be anyways." I said with a giggle. I have always been friends with Stephanie since the first time that I came to the WWE. Although I'm not as close to her as I am with Stacy, I'd consider Steph a close friend. She definitely has two sides to her. One side where she can be your best friend, and the other side where she can take charge and be the boss. It's not fun when those two sides mix but Steph is pretty good at keeping them separate.
"We're up." He said as we walked up to the counter.
"Hello. We need to get on the next flight to London." I said as we reached the counter.
"Bonjour. Ca va?" The person said in response. Hello. How are you?
"Crap, we need someone that can speak English!" I said to Randy, he just chuckled.
"Bein. Quand le prochain vol a-t-il lieu à Londres?" He said as I stood there shocked. Good. When is the next flight to London?
"17:00, demain. Au cas où je vous réserver sur ce vol?" The man behind the counter replied. 5:00 PM, tomorrow. Should I book you on that flight?
"The next flight isn't 'till 5 tomorrow night. Should we just take that flight?" He asked me.
"We don't have any other choice, do we?" I said with a slight shrug.
"Oui, si vous plait. Deux premiers billets de classe." Randy told the man behind the counter as he reached into his bag and pulled out his wallet. He opened up his wallet and placed his credit card onto the counter. Yes, please. Two first class tickets.
"Merci. Ayez un beau jour." The man said as he handed Randy two tickets. Thank you. Have a nice day.
"So it looks like we have some time to kill." Randy said as he picked up his bags and started walking. I just followed him because what else was I going to do?
"How much was the ticket?" I asked him as we headed to the front of the airport.
"Don't worry about it." He said.
"Well at least let me buy you dinner then." I responded as we reached the front of the airport.
"Are you asking me out on a date?" He asked me with a sly grin on his face.
"Psh, no." I scoffed. "Why would I ask you out?"
"Taxi!" Randy shouted as a car pulled over next to us and he hoped in. I merely followed. What other choice did I have? He is the only other person that I know here, not to mention that he can apparently speak French, a language that I obviously can't.
"Portez-nous à l'hôtel le plus proche. Rien bon marché, cependant. Je ne veux pas rester dans une décharge." Randy said to the taxi driver. Take us to the nearest hotel. Nothing cheap, though. I don't want to stay in a dump.
"Tout de suite monsieur." The driver said as he took off. Right away sir.
"So let me ask you something. When in the world did you learn to speak French?" I asked him as I got situated in the cab.
"When I was growing up, I went to this boarding school for a couple years. They made us learn French. I guess it did come in handy." He said with a bit of a smile.
"I see, so where exactly are we going?" I asked Randy as the driver drove through the chaotic streets of Bordeaux.
"I told him to take us to a hotel. We're gunna need a place to stay tonight." He responded.
"Oh yeah, I hadn't even thought of that." I said. Maybe Randy isn't so bad after all. I mean he obviously has enough foresight to get us to a hotel and get us on the next flight to London.
"Yeah, 'cause you were too busy trying to ask me out." He said with a smirk.
"Shut up." I said as I playfully smacked him on the chest.
"Ici nous sommes monsieur. Cet hôtel est très populaire avec des touristes. Votre facture totale est de 15 euros." The driver said as we stopped outside of a beautiful building. It was fairly large with ornate decorations all around it. Surrounding the building were a ton of shops. This is my kind of place. Here we are sir. This hotel is very popular with tourists. Your total bill is 15 dollars.
"Merci." Randy said as he handed the driver his credit card which he quickly swiped and gave back to Randy. Thank you.
"Let's go see if we can get some rooms." Randy said as he grabbed his bags and stepped out of the car. I grabbed my bags and stepped out after him and shut the car door.
"This place looks amazing." I said as I followed Randy into the hotel.
"The driver said it was popular." He said as we walked up to the counter of the hotel. "Bonjour. Nous avons besoin de deux salles simples pour une nuit chacune de lit." He said to the woman behind the counter. Hello. We need two single bed rooms for one night each.
"Un monsieur de moment." The woman said as she started to type something into the computer in front of her. One moment sir.
"Je suis désolé, nous ai seulement une pièce simple de lit ouverte pour ce soir. aimez-vous prendre celui-là?" The woman said with a sheepish grin on her face. I'm sorry, we only have one single bed room open for tonight. Would you like to take that one?
"Est-ce qu'y a-t-il il de autres hôtels autour ici de celui aurait deux salles?" Randy asked. Are there any other hotels around here that would have two rooms?
"Je doute de lui. Il y a un grand festivle allant cette semaine. Chacun est réservé vers le haut. Vous êtes chanceux que nous ayons toujours une salle avaliable." The woman said with an apologetic smile. I doubt it. There is a big festival going on this week. Everyone is booked up. You are lucky that we still have a room available.
"Très bien, nous le prendrons." Randy responded as he let out a sigh and once again handed over his credit card. Fine, we'll take it.
"Bon, vous serez dans la chambre 108. Appréciez." The woman said with a smile and handed Randy's credit card back with a room key. Good, you will be in room 108. Enjoy.
"So what's going on?" I asked him as we headed over to the elevator.
"They only have one room. Apparently there are no other hotels with vacancy's around here. Something about a festival going on." He said as we stepped into the elevator and headed to our room.
"I see." I said as we got out of the elevator and got to our room.
"What no couch?" He said as we got into the room and set our stuff down.
"So what?" I asked as I headed over to the bathroom.
"Well I was going to sleep on the couch, sweetheart, since there is only one bed." He replied somewhat sarcastically. Great, one bed. I can't just let him sleep on the floor. That wouldn't be too comfortable.
"You can sleep on the bed, I'll just sleep on the floor." I said as I looked in the mirror and fixed my hair.
"No, You're not gunna sleep on the floor." He said as he let out a sigh and flopped down on the bed.
"Well we can just share the bed then. It's not like we have to do anything." I said with a shrug as I stepped out of the bathroom.
"I guess so." He said as he got up and headed into the bathroom. "You better call Stephanie back."
"Oh, yeah. I bet she'll be pleased to hear about this." I said as I took out my cell phone and punched in Stephanie's number.
"Hey." I said as Stephanie picked up the phone.
"So what's going on?" She asked me.
"Well, the next flight to London from here isn't till 5 tomorrow. So were stuck here for a while." I replied.
"That's just peachy. Well thanks for letting me know. I should get going since the show is about to start. Call me later or something." She said.
"Alright, I'll talk to you later Steph." I said as I hung up the phone.
"All that made me hungry. You still up for that dinner you offered me?" Randy asked as he stepped out of the bathroom.
"Sure, why not. It's not like we have anything else to do." I said as I picked up my purse and followed Randy out the door.
