Audrey smiled as she thought back to that exact day……
November 7th 2004
"Girl you look so cute".
Audrey stared in the mirror and looked at her blond hair in curls, cascading down her back. Light eye shadow surrounding her sparkling hazel eyes, and a touch of lip gloss on her pretty lips.
"I feel like I'm going to the prom instead of a wrestling event" Audrey sighed.
"In less you would go to prom in skinny jeans and a baby tee, I say you look fine" Her best friend, Josie replied.
That was just like Josie, always positive and encouraging. They'd been friends since 6th grade at Briar Hill Middle School. Josie was the outgoing type who made lots of friends the first day. Audrey, on the other hand, was the more reserved type, but still managed to make friends with her friendly demeanor, one of the friends being Josie.
Josie walked over to her friend and ran her fingers through her loose curls." You look stunning, your definitely going to catch someone's eye".
Audrey shrugged and crossed her room to sit on her bed." Are you sure your Parents aren't going to find out about this, you know how they feel about wrestling. What if you get caught? ".
Josie's Parents were mega conservatives and didn't think wrestling was good TV. It was not a program allowed in their home. Josie snuck over to Audrey's to watch it whenever it was on. Audrey's Parents were a little strict too but they only saw her fascination in wrestling as just some little kid interest.
"It's fine, I told them we were just going to hang out with some friends" Josie reached into her purse and applied some lip gloss to her lips.
"I just don't want them to ream you out over this".
"They'll get over it. I'm 18 years old, they can't tell me what to do anymore" Josie answered putting her gloss back in purse." You ready".
Audrey nodded and slipped on her shoes and grabbed her purse. They walked down the stairs to the front door.
"Mama, we're leaving" Audrey called out.
Eileen came out of the kitchen." You girls be careful and make good decisions".
"We will, don't wait up" Audrey said dodging out the door followed by Josie.
They jumped in Audrey's car she got for her 16th birthday. It wasn't exactly a brand new car, it was her Parents, they couldn't afford a brand new set of wheels so they passed it along to her and got themselves a used car. Her daddy shelled out some saved money to get the car a new paint job, and it looked a lot more decent.
Josie flipped her compact open to check for any make up flaws." Hey Aud, do you ever wonder what it would be like to be married to a wrestler".
"Not really, besides I think the rents would die if I brought home a wrestler. They've always pictured me with a doctor or lawyer. You know the ordinary jobs".
Josie nodded." Same here".
"Besides, I don't think a wrestler would be interested in me as more than a one night lay".
Josie's eyes widened." You don't believe that do you? I don't know whether you noticed Aud, but your gorgeous. All the guys at School fondle over you".
Audrey shrugged." They're pervs".
Josie sighed and turned her head to the window." Whoever marries you Audrey, I hope their smart enough to treat you like the queen you deserve to be treated like".
The car fell silent until they reached the arena and parked. They got out and Audrey checked to make sure her reflection was still intact.
"Do I still look ok" Audrey asked.
"Aud don't fret, your beautiful".
They made their way inside and found their seats at ringside. The tickets were expensive, but both girls manage to pull money together from work and past birthdays.
"This is so close" Audrey said.
"I know, I get to rub skin with a wrestler" Josie said excited.
The pyro went off then letting the audience know the show was kicking off. Welcome to Monday night RAW. The girls screamed as they started to enjoy themselves. The matches were good, and the audience was completely into it. Then it was time for the main event. John Cena vs. Randy Orton, one fall. John Cena was the first to come out to some mix cheers and boos.
Josie swooned." What I wouldn't do to be wrapped in those arms".
"He's even more huge in person" Audrey commented.
Then it was Randy's turn. He came out with the usual smirk splayed across his handsome face. The crowd booed louder and it only seem to make him smirk even harder. He got to the end of the ramp and looked over in Audrey and Josie's direction. His eyes fell upon Audrey and it seemed like his smirk dropped momentarily. Nothing seem to matter just then.
Josie squealed and grabbed her arm." Aud he's looking at you".
Audrey didn't answer, she couldn't open her mouth. He was too handsome. She'd seen Randy Orton plenty on TV, but in person he was HOT. She couldn't tear her eyes away, it was like a magnetic pull was between them. Then Randy pulled out of his trance and continued up the stairs to the ring.
"Did you see that JR? what was up with Randy" King said from his place at the ringside table.
"I don't know King. Must have something to do with that beautiful young girl sitting ringside".
"Whoa, look at that young lady, she's a looker JR".
"Randy seemed to think so too".
The bell rang and the match got underway. It was generally a good match, a lot of back and forth action and many attempted pinfalls. But in the end John Cena won by disqualification by Evolution's interference.
Later in the car, Josie continually yapped over Audrey and Randy's stare down match.
"That was awesome Aud, girls would kill to have him look at them the way he looked at you tonight".
"It's not a big deal Jo, he looked at me, that was it. There's nothing to come out of that" Audrey answered.
Josie fell silent, she was keyed up, they couldn't go home yet." Let's go to the club".
"Why? ".
"To have fun of course. I'm not ready to go home yet. I feel like dancing".
"It's already pretty late…".
"Don't be a grandma Audrey, it's not even a school night. School's closed tomorrow. We're young single women, who deserve to party".
Audrey thought about it, she was right, it wasn't like they were being irresponsible.
Guilty for sneaking to a wrestling show but not irresponsible. Hey she had her cell phone incase her Parent's called. To be honest she didn't want to go home either.
Audrey veered off down another street away from her house." Which club? ".
Josie grinned. "The hot new one, Indigo Lounge".
Audrey had heard about that club around school. A lot of people went there and partied and said it got pretty wild sometimes.
"All right, but if it starts to get too wild we're leaving" Audrey cautioned.
"Of course".
They pulled up outside the club and could hear the hot music blaring from the speakers. They flashed their Ids (you had to be 18) and stepped in. It was crowded from the dance floor to the tables surrounding it.
"Come on, let's get drinks" Josie said grabbing her arm and pulling her towards the bar.
"What can I get you ladies".
"Give me whatever you think would be good for me" Josie said winking at him.
He smiled and turned to Audrey." And you? ".
Audrey shook her head." No thank you, I'm the driver".
He nodded and walked away.
"He's cute" Josie said watching him from behind.
"But too old for you, he's like a college student".
"And your point? ".
"We're in High School".
Josie smiled as he sat the drink down in front of her.
"There you are, this will make you feel good".
Josie took a sip and another. He was right, it was good enough to be addictive. She finished it off.
"That was freaking good, now I want to dance".
Josie headed off to the dance floor with Audrey and they joined in with everyone dancing. Audrey danced and began to let go and enjoy herself. Some random guy got behind Josie and she started grinding on him, and by the look on his face, he loved it. They danced more until Josie caught sight of someone coming up behind Audrey and she was shocked. He was there with his smoldering blue eyes.
Audrey kept dancing not aware of the person right over her shoulder.
He leaned over into her ear." Hey sweetheart".
Audrey froze and her eyes widened. She looked at Josie and Josie smirked and pointed behind her. Audrey turned slowly and came face to face, or more like face to chest, with Randy Orton.
Randy smiled." I'm Randy, would you like to dance".
He extended his huge hand out to her and she stared at it and then back at Josie. Josie nodded wildly and grinned.
"Just so you know…I'm not taking no for an answer" Randy said with a playful smile.
Audrey was getting lost in his eyes again. What the hell it was just a dance. A once in a lifetime opportunity…..
Or so she thought at the time.
