"Mel, are you almost ready to go? We have to leave in ten minutes!" I yelled up to her as I was sitting on the couch of her living room.
"Yeah, I'll be down in a second!" She responded.
It had been two months since I caught Johnny and Ashley together. The two of them started to go out not long after I found them. Somehow Jillian got over her crush on Batista and ended up getting with Matt. I think they'll last.
Right after everything happened, Melina temporarily moved in with me until she found a place of her own. She's been pretty strong about it all, and I haven't seen her cry about it since I told her.
"Alright, we better get going, Tess is going to have my neck if we don't get there on time." Melina said as she walked down the stairs while clasping a necklace around her neck. She looked absolutely gorgeous. She was wearing a pale pink dress that came down to just above her knees.
"After you." I responded as I motioned towards the door. She stepped out of the house and into my awaiting car. We got to the church just in time and the ceremony was amazing. The reception was immediately afterwards so we went to the hall and got seated. At our table was Melina's younger brother and his girlfriend, and her mom and dad. Before I knew it music started to play and people started to get on the dance floor.
"Care to dance?" I asked Melina as I offered out my arm.
"I'd love to." She answered with a smile as she took my arm and we went out to the floor. We started to sway softly to the music together.
I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my own word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us...
"You look absolutely beautiful, you know that?" I whispered to her as we danced together.
"Thanks." She responded as she looked up at me with a small smile. "You don't look so bad yourself either." She said as she rested her head on my shoulder.
Before I met her, I never really had the greatest reputation. I was one of those people that liked to go out every night and party it up. And I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the company of some females at night. After I left Evolution and I wasn't around Hunter and Ric all the time, I toned everything down a bit, but I still went out to different clubs at least three nights out of the week.
But after we became friends, something in me changed. I didn't need to sleep with random girls all the time. I didn't need the alcohol to feel good about myself. Whenever I'm with her I truly feel happy. She's like a drug, and I can never get enough.
I wanna honor your mother
And I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us...
At first, I was scared. I'd never felt anything remotely close to this before. I didn't know what was coming over me. I'm Randy Orton, the Legend Killer, the guy who likes to party it up like there's no tomorrow. But I talked to Dave about it, and he helped to set me straight.
"It's like this," He told me one day, "when you meet someone like that, your world changes. She's all you ever think about. You love the way she laughs and the way that she flips her hair. Every time that you see her you get this weird feeling in your stomach. You can't run from it Randy. You have to grab it and hold onto it because you never know when something like this is going to come your way again. When I first met Lillian, I felt the same way you did. Only I ran from it. It was the biggest mistake of my life. But luckily before it was too long I realized that I needed her. And ever since then I've never looked back. I'm the happiest man alive Randy. You need to accept it, and you need to let her know how you feel or else you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Ever since then, I've been wondering about how I should tell her. When should I do it? Where should I tell her? It's been driving me crazy.
We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss...
I don't think I can wait much longer to tell her. If I tell her now, what's the worst that can happen? She could make a complete fool of me in front of her entire family, and then kick me out of her house which is where I'm staying for the weekend. Yeah, that's pretty bad. But Dave's words kept ringing in my ears, "...you need to let her know how you feel or else you'll regret it for the rest of your life.". If I don't tell her now, then I may never get the chance. And if I don't do that I'll never be able to live with myself.
"Melina?" I said after I took a deep breath.
"Hm?" She answered as she kept her head on my chest and we continued to sway to the music.
"Since the day that I met you, my life completely changed. I use to go out and party every night, but after we became friends, I would stay home every night and talk to you on the phone. I never knew that somebody like you could even exist. Everyday when I'm with you nothing else matters to me, and when I'm not with you, you're the only thing on my mind. You mean more to me than you could ever know."
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust makin' memories of us
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust makin memories of us
"Melina, I love you."
