I ended up picking out my "little black" dress. It was a plain halter dress that went above my knees, just a bit and a slight low cut on the chest. I blow dried my hair and then curled it a bit, and threw on a little bit of make up. I put on my black strapless bra, with a black thong and dressed in the black dress. I added some earrings to the look along with a long dangling gold necklace. I ended up just a little late.
I walked out of my room, to see my parents and my brother and his children waiting for me in the living room. I just smiled and shrugged to them. They laughed and told me that i was fifteen minutes late. We left a couple minutes later, and headed towards this extremely fancy restaurant downtown.
"Gee... you guys didn't have to do this much" i said while i got out of the car.
"Anything for our baby girl" my dad told me as he kissed me on the head. We walked into the fancy restaurant called Springs. When we entered the building itself, it had magnificent waterfalls coming down the two walls that were next to the main doors, that were extremely large french doors. I was surprised to see that we were the only people in the restaurant.
"Um... how come no one else is here?" i asked my parents
"because we rented it out for you sweetie" my mother informed me. I smiled and hugged my parents both tightly.
When i looked ahead, i noticed a large buffet, full of foods. And then i noticed a large table, that wasn't set for the six of us, but it was set for eleven instead.
"Mom... why is the table set for eleven?"
"Because we're joining you guys!" i heard a voice from behind me. I saw Becky standing there with a huge grin playing on her lips. I saw to the side of her Nate and her parents... and then I saw Randy strolling in, looking confused as hell, which was my current facial expression as well.
"Since you two are leaving... together, Tomorrow we decided we were going to have family dinner and a farewell to you guys!" I heard my mother say.
Me and Randy just stared at each other and smiled. Everybody went to take their seats, Randy and I stayed there for a moment.
"Hey" i whispered.
"Hey" he whispered back to me. We both smiled, and he took my hand in his and we took our seats at the table. We sat next to each other, at the head of the table.
Our fathers, didn't wait to order a few beers for themselves... along with Jeff too. Becky sat next to me, and we chatted about a few things, mostly about school, since she was going into college soon. Randy chatted with the men. Becky and I got up and got our food at the buffet and went back to our seats. Over dinner we all pretty much talked about wrestling, and Bob told us what to expect and what not to expect. Of course Randy has heard it... a million and one times. The boys talked about sports and what was going in that area. And us girls all talked about girly things, well i should say Becky and her mom and my mom talked... i just listened. After quiet a few hours of dinner and plenty of talking, we ended up going back to my parents house for a few more beers for the men and for the mothers to relax over coffee. I ended up in my bedroom for a while, packing up my things.
After i was done, i ended up looking through photo albums. I smiled at the old memories of my family. I knew that if i got this contract for real, i would be gone... for a while, that was the hardest part by far. Because i saw how Randy's father was gone most of the time, but it worked to his advantage because Randy got to visit a lot, but looking at how Becky and Bob are not as close, bugs the most of out me. I pulled out another album, that my friends had put together for me. It was our very own tradition... for our sweet sixteens, we put together cute albums that had a quote written on the front of the silver cover.
I went through the pictures in it, from the ages of thirteen to seventeen and eighteen. I looked at how much we've all changed and how drastically mature we are now, well a little bit more mature. I smiled remembering some of the moments and the inside jokes we had. I always wanted to grow up, but now that i have grown up... i wish i could go back to the younger days.
"What are you looking at?" i heard his familiar voice.
"Old pictures" i said not turning around to face him.
"Any good ones?" he said as he jumped on my bed and laid his head in my lap.
I giggled and nodded my head. I showed him a few pictures of when i was younger. He laughed at a few of them.
"Is that you mooning the camera?" he asked me.
"Haha yes it is!" I said with a wide smile. I was never the girl that was shy to show what i had, even at the age of seven. What can i say?
"You're too funny" he told me
"Oh i know"
"Sooo... what's our plan for tomorrow?"
"Did you still want to go to the city first and then to Stamford?"
"Yeah, That'll be great"
"Alright good, I'll get on the computer later and find some directions, did you pack everything you need?" I asked him.
"Yeah, i just have to go home and grab a few things that's all."
"Oh... so you're going home tonight?" i said a little bit disappointed.
"Aw you wanted me to stay with you tonight?"
I smiled and nodded. I flashed him little puppy eyes and he just smirked.
"Well... I'm going home only because i need the sleep and so do you, and if we were together tonight... neither of us would have sleep. If you know what i mean, plus i still have to get some things together for tomorrow's trip... and we'll be staying together in the hotel for god knows how long" he explained to me.
I agreed with him, and laid down on the bed staring at the ceiling. It wasn't long til he joined me, and he just held me. We stayed like this for a half hour. We decided that he was going home, and that i would look for the directions for the trip, and then i would go to bed and he'd pick me up in the morning. We kissed goodbye, and I said my goodbye's to the Orton family. I told Becky to behave herself in college and the same for Nate. I said goodnight to my parents and my brother, and his children as well, and headed off to bed.
I slipped into bed with just my t-shirt on, and grabbed my tiny lap top and checked for directions. It would take, three in a half hours from our house to the city, and then not even an hour from the city to Stamford.
I grabbed my phone and called Randy real fast to tell him. He told me that he would pick me up at my house around six am, so we could make it to the city by nine. Our meetings in Stamford were separate, so we couldn't stay for a long time in the city. I had the meeting first, at 3:30 and Randy had his at 4:15. I told him goodnight, and I'd see him in the morning. Wasn't long after the phone call, that i drifted off into a deep sleep.
