Falling In Love With You

Chapter 6

The Big Date

Randy stood completely shocked in Natalie's bare office after she left; after she gave her answer. He could not believe that some woman who was more than likely way out of his league would actually agree for a date with him. However, this shock did not harm his confidence and soon he was back to Randy-the most cockiest, egotistical best friend of Dave.

After leaving her office, since RAW was over, he went out with the boys to a small little jazz bar. Paul and Ric soon left after drinking a little and toasting to a very successful Evolution night.

"So, did you ask her?" Dave asked eager to know the details.

"Yeah, and surprisingly she said yes."

"Really? I didn't think she would."

"Thanks for having confidence in me man."

"Well, like I said, you never know about women."

"Yeah. Hey, this place is really shitty. Can we just go to the hotel?"

"I guess. The Legend Killer must get ready for his big date."

"I don't take that long to get ready."

"Hell, you even took longer than Angie did."

"Oh yeah, it was only that one time though, Dave. You miss her still a lot don't you?" Randy said of the mentioning of Angie's name.

"Yeah, I loved that woman more than I ever thought I could."

"Yeah I know. Let's get the hell of out here." Randy said sliding out of the booth.

--the date day--

Randy Orton had woke up with a big smile upon his face. Today, the woman who he thought would have turned him down, was going out with him tonight. Well, they were in St. Louis, which happened to be Randy's hometown, so he definitely thought he could impress Natalie with the sight-seeing and the best place to eat in town, a restaurant that one of his closest friend's owned.

Soon after his thoughts escaped his head, he tumbled out of his bed and went to get a quick shower since he was meeting the rest of Evolution for a pre-RAW meeting.

--meanwhile--

Natalie was now typing up another different synopsis when she was greeted by her boss, Stephanie.

"So what's this I hear? Date with the Orton tonight?" Stephanie asked curiously.

"Well hello to you too Steph." Natalie said playfully; acting hurt. "Yeah, we're going out tonight; I just wanted to have some fun."

"So you're not like interested in him or anything?"

"Yeah, I'm interested. I'm just not sure if he's exactly my type..he seemed to me the other night at that club that he was sort of a player. I hope he proves me wrong, he seems like a really great guy." Natalie revoked smiling about the date.

"Well, he's young so I guess he's sort of a playboy but I'm sure he'll mature up once he finds the right woman, which most certainly could be here."

"Steph, I think you are thinking way too much into this. I'm not looking for marriage material on the first date; maybe the second." Natalie said making both women laugh.

"Well, Nat. I got to get back to work, RAW is loaded tonight."

"Yeah I know. I am working on Randy's match vs. Edge."

"Should be a good one. It's leading up to some matches later on down the line."

A/N: I'm here typing this, and I got a little messed up with the timeline of the story..right now, it's late 2003. However, Randy's not the intercontinental champion just yet. Back to the story..

"Okay, see you later Steph." Natalie said closing the door. About five minutes later, someone was knocking at the door.

"Are you Ms. Kyle?" The younger man said as Natalie nodded her head.

"These are for you." He replied back.

"Thanks." Natalie said taking the flowers from him and wondered who they were from.

In the bouquet was beautiful pink roses with some baby's breath surrounding the whole entire bouquet. Enclosed as well was a note.

Natalie,

The florist told me that pink roses meant that you wanted to get to know the person better, and that's exactly what I want to do. Cannot wait to see you tonight! Randy

"Who are these from?" Stephanie said walking into Natalie's office at the RAW arena.

"Randy."

"OMG! That is so sweet." Stephanie said reading the card.

"Isn't it though?" Natalie replied admiring the beautiful bouquet again.

--after RAW--

Natalie was in her own private bathroom which was adjacent to her office when someone knocked on her door. She quickly fixed her last piece of hair and adjusted her skirt and answered the door.

"Oh hey Randy. Can you wait a second? I need to pack up my things." Natalie said walking into her office, going after the laptop and her small suitcase.

"Sure, Nat. Take your time." Randy said looking around the now bare office.

"Alright, I'm ready. Let's go."

"Do you drive here?" Randy asked as they were walking out to the car.

"Nope, Stephanie and I usually ride together."

"Oh I see." Randy said getting into his rental and taking them to a small, quaint restaurant in St. Louis.

"Hey Josh! What's going on?" Randy said as they walked into Bonita Restaurant.

"Randy! Haven't seen you in forever! How have you been?" The owner, Josh, asked Randy.

"Pretty good."

"That's good, who's this pretty lady with you?"

"Oh, this is Natalie. She's one of the executive writers for the WWE. Natalie, this is my good friend and owner of this place, Josh."

"It's nice meeting you Josh." Natalie replied sweetly.

"Pleasure's mine. Here, I'll take ya back to the best table in the house." Josh said as he motioned for them to follow him.

He soon took them to the best seats in the house, and quickly gave them a menu. A few minutes later, he came back and took the order. While both of them were waiting for their meals, small talk was being made.

"Thanks for the flowers today Randy. They were a wonderful surprise."

"Good. I'm glad you liked them." Randy replied smiling.

"Yep. So tell me more about yourself. You're quite guarded."

"Yeah, well it's due to one person, I just got out of a relationship with my ex Shana, not too long ago. But it dates back, to when I dated Stacy Keibler. Her and I dated for about two years and well, she was my best friend and we basically knew everything about each other, and what I didn't know that she was cheating on me basically the whole relationship with Andrew (better known as Test) and well I caught them, and chiefly the whole "playboy" status, I guess I give off is because of her."

"Oh really? That's a shocker. Well, from what I hear, she's not the greatest person to get along with, I luckily haven't worked with her yet. But what she did to you was completely wrong, no one should deal with cheating. My last boyfriend cheated on me as well, well not as bad as your story, but he cheated on me with my best friend and he got her pregnant."

"Really?" Randy could not believe anyone would cheat on this wonderfully amazing woman.

"Yeah. It's not that big of a deal, anymore. I don't carry it around with me, it happened. It all goes in with my life saying, whatever's supposed to be will always find a way." Natalie said smiling.

"Yeah, that's an interesting quote to live by." Randy said.

"You still never answered my question."

"Oh yeah. There's not really that much to know. I live here in St. Louis all by myself, I have a brother, Nate, and a sister, Becky. My parents live here in St. Louis. I'm quite close to my family if you haven't already noticed."

"That's good. So am I."

"So what about you?"

"I have four siblings, two brothers- Josh and Craig, and two sisters-Nickie and Stacy. I like classic rock music, shopping. Not really much else." Natalie said laughing as their food came.

The two ate their food and then returned to the hotel.

"Thanks for that, Randy. I really had a good time." Natalie replied sweetly in front of her hotel room door.

"You're very welcome. I had a good time too, maybe we should do this some other time." Randy said nervously.

"Sure! I'd love to. You know where to find me." Natalie said as she walked into her hotel room.
