Ghosts Of Days Gone By
Memories
"I can't believe that I'm going to a club with some of the Smackdown and ECW roster. I am so out of place."
Adam looked from where his eyes were focused on the road to an apprehensive Summer who was occupying the passenger seat. "It's going to be fun. A lot of the wrestlers are excited about you tagging along."
"You can't be serious. I'm only invited because I'm your girlfriend. You're the one with all the friends, not me."
"But, everyone was jumping at the bit to get you to come out. I'm glad you finally accepted an invitation."
"I just hope that I don't let everyone down when they find out that I am not fun."
Adam placed his hand on top of Summer's. "Nobody is going to think you're boring. Just have fun." He found the entrance to the nightclub parking lot and turned in. He managed to find a good parking spot right near the entrance way.
Summer saw The Miz, John Morrison, Maryse, Maria, Matt Hardy, Umaga, Hurricane Helms, and Eve Torres all standing outside the nightclub. They were all engrossed in conversations. Adam walked over to Summer's side and opened the door for her so she could get out. She smiled at him as she exited the car. Once Adam shut the door and locked the car, he grabbed Summer's hand and led her to where the other's superstars were currently standing.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries with the two of them. Even Matt was cordial with Adam considering their history. They probably wouldn't go out of their way to hang out, but they were probably cordial with each other since they ran in the same social circles. Summer followed closely behind Adam as they walked inside the nightclub.
Miz and Morrison were leading the way and found a large table for everyone to sit down at. Summer ended up sitting down between Adam and Maryse. She was mesmerized by the atmosphere. The lighting and the set up was unreal.
"Do you want anything to drink?" The Rated R Superstar asked Summer. "Help yourself because I'll be driving us back to the hotel."
Summer nodded. "I'll take a Margarita please."
"Got it. I'll be right back."
"So, Summer, I'm glad you decided to come out with us," Eve said.
"Thanks for letting me come out with you all."
"Your outfit is really cute," Maria complimented. Summer was dressed in a black and white tunic with a black blazer over it, black leggings, and black stiletto heeled boots. Her silky blonde hair was curled to perfection and her brown eyes were done with a smokey eye. Her lips were shimmering with clear lip gloss.
"Thanks. That means a lot coming from you since you're quite the fashionista."
"I'm glad there's another hot blonde female here besides myself," Maryse kidded. "I don't have to worry about all the eyes being on me for a change. I can only take so much attention."
Summer giggled. "Trust me, Maryse, you're the only hot blonde female here. I don't hold a candle to your sensuality."
Adam came back with Summer's Margarita and a Diet Coke for himself. "Here you go beautiful." He sat back down in the seat next to Summer and watched as she took a sip of her Margarita. "How is it?"
Summer hummed in satisfaction. "It's really good."
"Summer, you want to join me on the dance floor?" Eve offered. "I think you and I can tear up the dance floor."
"I am not a good dancer. I am going to be an embarrassment to you."
Eve rolled her eyes. "You can't be that bad. Please give it a try."
Summer moaned and bowed her head in defeat. "Okay, fine." She looked at Adam. "Wish we luck."
"Break a leg." The Rated R Superstar kissed her cheek. "I'll watch your stuff. Go out there and tear up the dance floor."
Eve looped her arm through Summer's and the two went out onto the dancefloor. 'Beep' by The Pussycat Dolls and Will. was currently blaring throughout the speakers. Summer moved her hips trying to find rhythm with the song. Eventually she found her groove and danced alongside Eve.
"Wow!" Maryse exclaimed. "I didn't know Summer could move like that."
"Me either," Maria replied. "But, she's got rhythm."
"Let's go join them," Maryse instructed. She and Maria got up from their seats and joined Summer and Eve on the dance floor. The four women formed a circle and danced to the rhythm of the song until it ended.
Summer decided she needed a break. The lights and all the moving she did made her sweat. She sat back down beside Adam and took a sip of her Margarita. "Well, that was fun."
"You were worried that you wouldn't be any fun," Adam teased. "It's because of you that Maryse and Maria went out onto the dancefloor."
"Whatever you say…" Summer laughed.
"In all seriousness though…I didn't know you could dance like that."
"I didn't either."
"I'm going to have to keep that in mind for the bedroom." The Rated R Superstar wiggled his eyebrows.
Summer rolled her eyes and giggled. "In your dreams."
Eve, Maria, and Maryse came back to the table. "Come on, Summer." Eve said, grabbing Summer's arm and yanking her back on the dancefloor with Maria and Maryse following behind. 'Don't Stop The Music' by Rihanna had just started playing.
Adam laughed to himself. It looks like he lost his girlfriend for the night. But, it was a win for him because he got to watch his hot girlfriend move those hips and booty on the dancefloor.
Summer walked hand in hand with Adam down the rampway. It was the 2010 Hall Of Fame Ceremony. For the event, Summer wore a shimmering Peacock Blue backless dress with a plunging neckline. Her blonde hair was in a half up-half down do with the down part of her hair curled. She was color coordinating with Adam who was wearing a black suit with a Peacock Blue shirt and black tie.
They made it to the seats they were going to be occupying throughout the ceremony. Summer had seats reserved so she and Adam could sit with Jay and his wife. Summer was going to be sitting between Jay and Adam. It was Jay's wife, Jay, Summer, and then Adam was sitting at the end.
"Summer, you look stunning!" Jay said, giving Summer a hug.
"Thanks," Summer blushed. "You look very handsome and your wife looks very beautiful."
"We do clean up pretty well, don't we?" Captain Charisma retorted, wrapping an arm around his wife.
"Yes, you do."
"You got Adam to dress to the nines tonight. You two are even color coordinated."
"Considering Summer did all the shopping for this event, I'm not complaining," Adam responded. "All I had to do was show up and be the best looking guy here with the most beautiful date." He wrapped an arm around Summer.
The Hall of Fame ceremony was now underway. Mad Dog Vachon, Wendi Ritcher, Antonio Inoki, Stu Hart, and The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase were the most prominent inductees. Summer was enthralled with all the speeches all of the inductees gave. Well, Stu Hart's induction was the most heartwarming to Summer because the Hart Family accepted the Hall Of Fame induction on his behalf.
Once the ceremony was over, Adam, Summer, Jay, and Jay's wife all got up from their seats and made their way out of the building. Adam had a grip on Summer's hand as they were leaving the Dodge Theater.
"So, see you both tomorrow," Jay said. He hugged both Adam and Summer.
"See you tomorrow," Summer replied. She hugged Jay's wife. "It was nice hanging out with you two again."
"Hopefully, the four of us can go out again sometime."
"I'd like that," Summer smiled.
"Alright, we better head back to the hotel. Have a good sleep." Jay and his wife walked to their rental vehicle hand in hand.
Summer looped her arm through Adam's as they headed to their vehicle. "So, is there any way we can run through a drive-thru? I'm about to starve."
Adam chuckled. "Sure. Where do you want to go?"
"McDonald's. I'm feeling some chicken nuggets."
"Okay, Baby. We'll go there if that's what you want."
Adam and Summer made it to their vehicle. "Thank you." She wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him.
"No problem." He bent down to kiss her again.
They both entered the vehicle. Adam drove them to McDonald's so Summer could get her chicken nuggets. He decided to get a strawberry milkshake. Once they got their items, Summer didn't waste any time getting her hands on her chicken nuggets.
"Oh my gosh!" Summer moaned. "These are amazing."
The Rated R Superstar laughed. "You're such a doofus."
Summer stuck out her tongue. "You don't understand. These nuggets are sooooooo good."
Adam watched Summer with amusement. It was funny how she hardly ever had fast food before she started dating him, but now it was like she couldn't eat enough fast food. How things change.
Adam and Summer went on a day date to French Broad River Park in Asheville. They packed a picnic basket with bread, deli meats, condiments and fruits and then a cooler with water and gatorade. Once Adam parked his truck into the parking lot, he and Summer got out, retrieved their picnic basket and cooler and went towards the picnic shelter.
The picnic shelter had a very beautiful view of the rapids. Adam sat the cooler down and Summer sat the picnic basket down once they found the picnic table they wanted to sit at. They each dug out the items they wanted. The couple made their sandwiches to their satisfaction.
"This was a really good idea," Summer stated, taking a bite of her sandwich. "It's such a beautiful day out here."
"I figured this would be a nice way to spend the day."
"I'm glad we decided to live out here in Asheville. Everything about this place is spontaneous."
"I can't wait until our house is finished." Adam and Summer had bought some land on a mountain where a house was being built from scratch.
"We literally just bought the land, Adam. At least we have a place to live here." Summer and Adam were renting an apartment until their house was finished being built.
"I'm just ecstatic about it all."
"I know. You've always wanted a mountain home."
"Right," Adam nodded. "But, what makes it all better is that I'm sharing this experience with you." He grabbed one of Summer's hands.
"That's so sweet," Summer gushed.
"I try," Adam smiled. "So, once we're done eating, what do you want to do? Do you want to kayak or go walking on one of the trails?"
"I want to walk the trails and explore the park."
"Alright, we'll do that if that's what you want to do."
"Did you want to kayak instead?" Summer wondered.
"No, we'll go walk the trails. I have all the time in the world now, so I have plenty of time to kayak."
"There you go," Summer smiled. "That would be a fun way for you to spend the day off."
"It just sucks because I have all this free time now, but I don't have much of it to spend with you," Adam stated. "We spent more time together when I was wrestling full time."
"I know it sucks. I'm always missing you whenever I'm at the shows. It's not the same without your presence."
"Summerslam is coming up soon, I'll go with you to that pay-per-view. It would be nice to see everyone."
"Are you sure? You don't have to feel obligated to go."
Adam nodded. "I want to go. It'll be nice to travel with my girl once again and to see all my friends."
"Sounds like a plan then."
"It's a date," Adam winked. "So, are you ready to put our stuff up and hike the trails?"
"Yeah." Adam and Summer got up from their seats and grabbed their picnic basket and cooler.
The couple walked side by side to his truck where they loaded their belongings. Afterwards, Adam bent down to kiss Summer before they started exploring the trails. Adam looked at Summer and smiled as she was walking alongside him. He was grateful to be spending this beautiful day with his beautiful girlfriend.
