"Is the cab still there?" Stacy asked in a hushed tone to his ear and it appeared like she was nibbling his ear. (a/n: hehe. :-P)

"You mean, the one you took a ride in?" Randy asked in the same hushed tone.

"Yes, baby." Stacy answered in a normal voice.

"Nope, it's gone." Randy answered.

"Thank God!" Stacy said and pulled away from him. "Can you please get your hands off me?" Stacy asked sharply and looked at Randy's hands on her hips.

"What was up with that?" Randy asked, surprise now back in his voice.

"Thanks." Stacy just answered and walked away.

"Now, now Stacy!" Randy called after her and Stacy stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Randy.

"What?" she asked him.

"I do believe I helped you." Randy said confidently.

"So?" Stacy said and raised an eyebrow.

"So… aren't you being ungrateful?" Randy replied and smiled at her.

"I already said thank you. What more do you want?" Stacy asked him.

"Well, let's see, what about that date that I've been asking?" Randy said tentatively.

"Hah! You wish!" Stacy exclaimed.

"Oh c'mon Stace!" Randy said exasperatedly.

"I really think thank you is enough Randy." Stacy said but she was having doubts herself. Randy did help her big time. When she looked at Randy he was looking at the street once again.

"Don't look. The cab driver's across the street looking at us." Randy said with a smile on his face.

"What?" Stacy gasped in surprise.

"Promise, he's there." Randy said and took Stacy's hands and put them in his chest.

"So, let's go in sweetie?" Randy said and Stacy just nodded and forced herself to smile sweetly at him.

"Alright, thanks for saving my butt." Stacy said again.

"I told you, I don't need the thanks. I need the date." Randy insisted. Stacy looked through the sliding glass doors and saw the driver was still there.

"Okay, okay. Just shut up." Stacy said finally giving in to Randy's 'request'.

"So, where to now?" Randy asked her and gently pulled her.

"You mean now? Right now?" Stacy asked in surprise, as she slowly pulled her hand from Randy.

"Yeah?" Randy replied and raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry Randy but not right now. I have a shopping date with Trish today." Stacy answered, feeling a bit relieved. She doesn't know why she keeps on looking for reasons to get away from Randy. Stacy's heart softened though when she saw the look of disappointment on Randy's face. Then suddenly, Stacy's phone started ringing.

"Hello?" Stacy answered.

"Hi Stace, it's me Trish." Trish's voice came.

"Hey Trish! Where are you? I've been waiting here for you for ages." Stacy said while stealing a look from Randy.

"I'm with John. I'm really sorry Stace, but I can't make it today." Trish told her sadly.

"What? You can't come?" Stacy asked and Randy jerked his head and couldn't help but cross his fingers and started smiling secretly.

"Yeah. Something really important and urgent came up and John really needs me." Trish explained.

"Oh, that's just, well. That' just swell." Stacy said in a resigned voice.

"Stace, please don't be mad at me. I promise we'll go out next time." Trish said apologetically.

"Yeah it's okay." Stacy lied and tried to sound okay. "Urgh! So I guess I'm stuck with him." She added in an undertone.

"What was that you said Stace? Who's with you?" Trish asked in a more excited tone, which surprised Stacy.

"Um, I kinda ran into Randy Orton and oh well… I'll tell you all about it when I see you okay?" Stacy said.

"Okay. So I guess you should go have a good time with him. I'll make it up to you, babe." Trish said and hung up.

"I hope so." Stacy just said and flipped her phone off.

"So Trish couldn't make it?" Randy asked in a controlled voice.

"Yeah, said she's with John and something important just happened." Stacy said and placed her phone inside her purse.

"So will you go out with me today?" Randy asked nicely.

"Like I have any other choice." Stacy said meanly but Randy doesn't seem to mind. He just gave her the most charming smile he could muster.

"Will you tell me now what happened with the cab driver?" Randy asked in concern. Stacy looked him in the eyes and Stacy, couldn't believe it either, found herself trusting Randy and started voicing out her scared thoughts to him.

"Are you sure, Stacy's going to be alright with Randy?" Trish asked John.

"Don't worry, Randy promised me he'd take care of her." John said and put a protective arm around her shoulders.

"I just feel weird, setting her up." Trish said in a low voice.

"She'll thank you for this." John assured he and planted a small kiss on her forehead.

Back to the mall…

"Then I received this basket of flowers and they were so beautiful and I really did thought they were very beautiful but when I read the card that came along with it, it was more of a threat. It really scared me." Stacy said to Randy over their table in Starbuck's.

"What did the note say?" Randy asked cautiously.

"It said, Stacy one day you will be mine." She said in a slow voice.

"He's a psycho!" Randy said through gritted teeth.

"And when I called this cab, the driver started ranting about how he was my biggest fan. It was fine by me and then he asked about the flowers if I liked them. God he creeped me out!" Stacy said, feeling goosebumps again.

"The driver was the one who sent the flowers?"

"Yeah, and he asked for my number." Stacy said and took a sip from her drink.

"Did you give it to him?" Randy asked.

"Of course not! What do you think of me, stupid?" Stacy snapped.

"Hey, I was just asking?" Randy said.

"Sorry. Then he said that if I don't give him my number, he won't take me to where I'm going." Stacy told him. "I was just glad the mall was few blocks away."

"And what was up when you came over to me?" Randy asked and Stacy blushed.

"Oh, that? Well, I told him I couldn't give him my number because I have a boyfriend. Well it was just my luck when I saw you standing there." Stacy said.

"Hah! Luck, think set-up!" Randy thought and smiled.

"Why are you smiling?" Stacy asked curiously.

"Nothing. I just can't believe that I'm sitting here talking to you." Randy answered.

"Yeah, I can't believe it either." Stacy agreed with him and thought the guy wasn't as bad as she first thought.

"Hey you wanna watch a movie?" Randy asked her.

"Well, I guess I'm obliged to." Stacy said.

"I'm not going to force you." Randy said, feeling hurt.

"Hey, I was just kidding. I'd love to." Stacy said when she noticed Randy's sudden change of mood.

"Great!" Randy exclaimed feeling up again. Randy took her by the hand and she couldn't stop the tingling sensation that started to come to her. They stepped inside the movies and find some seats. Randy slowly put an arm around Stacy's shoulders. He was cautious in case Stacy would stop him. But the protest he was dreading never came. He turned to look at Stacy and saw her smiling at him. Then Stacy pointed to Randy someone was looking at them. It was the cab driver. Stacy leaned on Randy's chest and started to hear his heart beating.

"Even this all just pretend Stace, I'm never gonna forget this." Randy thought and placed a soft a kiss on Stacy's temple. Stacy secretly smiled. She never thought she would end up inside the movies with Randy Orton. The guy who she refuse to go out on a date so many times and there she was letting Randy wrapped her protectively.

"Randy, I'm scared." She whispered.

"Don't be, as long as I am here, you don't have to be scared. I'll protect you." Randy said. And Stacy found herself thinking.

"What does it feel like to be loved by Randy Orton?" She looked at him secretly and continued to watch the movie.

After roaming around the mall and many shopping bags later… the two decided to head back to the hotel. Outside the hotel, Randy saw a woman carrying some flowers and he smiled.

"Wait here…" Randy said and ran his way to the woman.

"Is this for sale?" he asked. Stacy looked at Randy talk to the woman and she saw the woman smiling flirtatiously at Randy. Stacy suddenly felt a tinge of jealousy and she glared at Randy when he returned. But the jealousy melted to nothing when he handed her a red rose.

"For you." Randy said and went inside the hotel and Stacy just followed.

"Um, Miss Keibler there's a letter for you." The receptionist called to her.

"Thanks." Stacy said.

She opened the letter when they got out of the elevator and into Stacy's floor.

"Who's it from?" Randy asked.

"None of your business." Stacy said.

"Stace!" Randy pouted and Stacy just laughed. But her smile vanished from her face when she read the letter.

"Stace, are you alright?" Randy asked worriedly and Stacy handed him the letter.

"I don't believe you… I know your every move… I'm watching you… I'm coming to get you…" Randy read the letter. He tore it and threw it away. "Don't worry I'm here." Randy assured her.

"What am I going to do?" Stacy asked in confusion.

"There's one thing I know…" Randy offered.

"What?" Stacy asked.

"Let's go on… Let's pretend." Randy said.

"Huh?"

"Let's pretend that you're mine and I'm yours." Randy said and maybe it was the first time in history that Stacy agreed about a thing with Randy. "Let's pretend just like what you said to that psycho driver fan of yours."

till next chap guys and r&r, k? thanks!
