Chapter 31 : New Beginnings
When I came out of the room, I had on Victoria Secret sweat pants and an old band concert sweatshirt. The minute I was out I smiled when I saw Randy sitting at the table with lunch all spread out. He smiled when he saw me and motioned for me to sit next to him.
"You said lunch right? Not breakfast, lunch, and dinner." I joked.
"Haha." He said sarcastically. "Us wrestlers need our food." He added and reached for some fruit salad he got. He had hashbrowns, sausage, sandwiches, fried chicken, french fries, fruit salad, and pasta.
I scooped myself some fruit salad on my plate when he was finished. I grabbed two halves of a roast beef sandwich and stood up to get water. I grabbed two bottles from the fridge and handed one to Randy when I sat down. He mumbled a thank you with his mouthful. We ate in silence for most of lunch and I was thinking of my previous encounter with Chris. Randy seemed to notice a change in my facials from what they were a few minutes ago. He stopped eating and took a swig from his water bottle, then turned to me.
"Kendall, can I ask you a question?" He asked. I stopped eating my sandwich and looked at him. I sighed after I set my sandwich back on the plate. I knew this was coming.
"Sure." I said and turned to face him.
"Why were you upset earlier?" He asked. I opened my mouth to respond but he interrupted me before the words could come out. "And don't say nothing because I know that it isn't nothing." I sighed. He was right and I don't know why I wasn't telling him, he was, after all, a new friend.
"Before you came back, Chris came over here." I said softly while looking down at my hands, which were fidgeting with the hem of my sweatshirt.
"What did he do?" He asked just as softly and put his hand on my chin, making me look at him.
"He said sorry about the whole Adam thing and I told him that sorry wasn't going to work this time, so I told him that I knew about the bet. Randy, he acted like he had never even heard of the bet. Why couldn't he just take responsibilities for his actions?" I asked and started sobbing after I got the question out.
"Its going to be alright." Randy said and pulled me into his chest. I cried for a good five minutes before I was out of tears. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Sorry," I said and pointed to his shirt which had a big wet spot. "I got your shirt all wet."
"It will dry. You sure you are okay?" He asked seriously.
"I'm better. It felt good to get that out of my system. Thanks." I said and stood up and cleared the table and put the leftovers in the fridge and threw everything else away, since we used paper plates.
"So, Kendall, what have you got planned tonight?" Randy asked me when I sat down on the couch next to him. I pulled my feet under my and shrugged.
"Nothing, like usual." I said.
"How about I take you to dinner." He suggested. I tilted my head to the side and looked at him confused.
"Like on a date?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yeah. On a date." He said happily. I stared at him for a while then put my hand to his head.
"Are you feeling alright?" I asked.
"I'm feeling fine. Why does asking you to dinner mean I'm sick?" He asked and removed my hand from his head and held it in his hand.
I shrugged and looked down at our intertwined hands before quickly looking back up. "Well, I mean, I've seen the types of girls you go out with and I don't look like them." I said trying to take my hand back, but he had it in a firm grip.
"You are gorgeous." He assured me. I turned my head to the left, trying to hide the blush that rose on my cheeks.
"Even so, I'm not like them. I'm not going to sleep with you on our first date, or the second, or the third." I said trying to get him to understand.
"Alright, since you are obviously uncomfortable about this, why don't we just take it slow?" He asked while stroking the back of my hand with his thumb.
"Listen, Randy, I think I might need a little more time. I mean, Chris and I just broke up like, just this morning." I said rationally. He sighed and nodded his head. He released my hand and ran his own through his hair.
"You're right. I don't know want I was thinking. Sorry. So how about we just go to a get to know you dinner, since we don't know each other very well." He said. I studied his face and saw that he genuinely wanted to get to know me.
"Fine. That sounds good." I said. He stood up and walked to the door, so I decided to follow him. He had his hand on the handle, but before he turned the knob, he turned to me.
"Wear something nice." He said before slipping out the door. I stared at the closed door before walking back to my bed. Guys were really confusing. One second they want to be more than friends, and the next, just friends. No doubt, Randy is attractive, but I still need time, I do, after all, love Chris. I looked at the clock and it read 3:30. I sighed and then realized that Randy hadn't even told me what time we were leaving.
I quickly called his cell and informed him. He said he just made a reservation for six. I immediately hung up and rushed out the door, all the way outside the hotel. I hadn't packed anything nice, I didn't think I was going to dinner with someone. I caught a taxi pretty fast and told the driver to go to the nearest Macy's. Once we were there, I paid the driver and practically ran into the store.
I fast walked to the teen prom dresses cause they had really cute ones. I saw some teenagers looking for their prom dress and I prayed that I blended in with them, cause it was pretty embarrassing, me being 21 looking for prom dresses. I pushed that thought away and focused on finding a cute dress. I thought, since this was just a friends night out type thing that I could find a colorful, short, flirty dress and have fun with it.
About a half hour later, I found the perfect dress that I could wear to clubs that the wrestlers usually go to on the road and have dinner in and I found matching shoes. When I got back to the hotel, it was already 4:30. I didn't have much time so I quickly got in the shower, dried my hair, and curled it into perfect ringlets. I applied my makeup and slipped on the dress and slipped on my shoes. I had just finished strapping my heels when there was a knock. I yelled one minute and went into the bathroom to put on finishing touches.
I walked to the door and opened it, not prepared for how good Randy looked. He was wearing a suit set with a red button up shirt under his blazer.
"Hey." I said almost shyly.
"Hey. You look great." He said looking me over. I had on a strapless ivory dress. Right under the bust, it had a medium thickness satin gold sash with a rhinestone broche in the middle. It had tiered ruffles that fell below the sash and the dress fell to above my knee. I had on 4 inch high gold stilettos and held a gold clutch.
"You don't look so bad yourself." I said.
"Ready to go?" He asked and I nodded before walking out the door and closing it behind me. This friendship outing is a new beginning for me, I thought, have fun with it.
