Saving Grace – Chapter 5
Mickie's P.O.V.
I arrived yesterday. It's already 10 am here so it's probably 3 am in Missouri. As much as I want to call Randy I can't cause I know he's still sleeping. I'll meet my dad in a café to have breakfast. We're finally gonna have breakfast after 8 years. I stepped in front of my closet to choose my clothes. I got my Zara tank top, glamour kills Capri & my mango leather jacket. I checked the time 10:45 I rushed to the door & grabbed my keys & glasses. The restaurant is just 20 minutes away from my hotel. I took the map from my rental car. We just can't escape traffic. At least it wasn't a bumper to bumper traffic. It's a good thing I have my iPod. I listened to some music while on my way. I switched to for a pessimist I'm pretty optimistic by paramore. I love Paramore. I saw my dad seated inside so I parked my rental on the street.
"Dad!" I approached him
"Mickie!" We gave each other a hug. I haven't hugged him since the day he left and that was 8 years ago.
"I missed you" I said
"I missed you too" We sat down a waiter approached & gave us the menu.
"Bonjour, bon après-midi!Que voulez-vous avoir?" He asked us & I only understood the bonjour.
"Bonjour! I'm sorry but I do not understand French." I said to the waiter and I heard my dad laugh. So I gave him a 'what?' look.
"Aah, American." He smiled and I nodded. "What would you like to have?"
"I'd like to have a pain au chocolat" I said "and I'll have a ham & cheese croissant" my dad said
"how about your drinks?"
"2 cups of coffee" my dad gave the waiter a smile and he smiled back
"Ok what's with people here smiling? It's creeping me off." I said. He just laughed at me? How dare.
"Anyways, I missed you a lot. It's like we're not calling each other but I really missed you." I said
"I didn't" My father kept an innocent look
"What kind of father are you? When I arrived you told me you missed me"
"I was joking. I didn't want you to be embarrassed that you missed me & I didn't"
I just gave him an 'Excuse me?' look
"I was kidding. Of course I miss my only child" He laughed. I just poked my tongue out. The waiter arrived with our breakfast.
"Enjoy" he said and I responded with a thank you.
"So how's Missouri? how's everyone?" Dad asked.
"Everything's doing great. Better than before" I flashed a smile
"How about you & Randy?" He emphasized on his name
"Me & Randy are getting married." I also emphasized on his name. After hearing the word 'married' my dad almost spat the coffee. If you could only see his expression, It's…..priceless.
"You're getting married?" he re assured.
"Of course I was kidding! If ever we will I will tell you as soon as possible, duh!" I laughed
"But seriously, how's your relationship?"
"Everything's awesome" I blushed afterwards thinking of him
"Good" He said
"So how's the business?" I asked him
"Yes, we're expecting to release a new fashion line that's why I wanted you to come here. I also want you to train our interns"
"Well that's amazing and training interns would be really fun" I said cheerfully.
"Ok, We'll start tomorrow alright and if you can think of design later that will be more great." We both finished our breakfast. We rested for a few minutes. I heard a beep coming from my dad's mobile. I think he was talking to his assistant.
"Hey, as much as I want to spend the day with you I'm in need in the office. I almost forgot I have a meeting" He kissed my forehead and headed to the door. I sighed as I saw him enter his car. I looked over to my phone to check the time. 11:30. I went out the café and decided to go back to the hotel.
I really don't know what to do cause I don't know the places in Paris. But I saw a jewelry shop, I jewelry caught my attention and it was a charm bracelet. It costs 132.37 euro which is $ 138.25. I really wanted the silver bracelet so I bought it. I was satisfied. I went to my car to finally head home. I arrived to my hotel and went to the hotel bistro for lunch later. They serve lunch from 12 – 2:30. I ordered Emincé de Volaille sauce Roquefort -Pommes de terre sautées it's a thinly sliced chicken fillet with Roquefort sauce – sautéed potatoes. I opened my door and placed my lunch in the kitchen. Ichanged my clothes into a shirt of Randy and Nike shorts. I sat on the bed leaning my back on the headboard. I grabbed my laptop to surf the web for a little. 1:15 pm, I decided to get my phone. It's around 6 am or 6:15 in Missouri by now. I texted Randy.
"Good Morning, I miss you already. I'm actually doing great here. I just wanted to check on you! I know Maryse will take care of you so listen to her alright. Give me a call when you wake up or when you read this message. I love you. :)"
That'll do for now. I searched for some Ideas on the web for the casual fashion line. I took a break and ate my lunch. I ate my food while watching some DVD because if I watch the shows on TV I won't understand anything. I watched the time traveler's wife. The movie is really nice. After the movie, I went to my work desk to make drafts. I heard Randy's voice. I knew it was him. He had his own ring tone. I ran to my bed and quickly tapped the answer button.
"Baby, I miss you" I heard Randy I also heard his happy voice
"I miss you too. So much" I said
"How's Paris? How's your dad?"
"Paris is wonderful but I'm actually in my hotel room right now. and dad's looking…..old." I laughed
"What are you up to?"
"I'm making drafts cause the company will be releasing a new fashion line. What about you?"
"I'm about to go to John & Torrie's to have breakfast." His voice softened
"is there something wrong?" I was worried
"I was just hoping that it was you who's joining me for breakfast" he said
"You spend your breakfast with me everyday it's time for you to eat with others" I chuckled
"Go on skype later before you sleep alright. I want to see you!" Randy told me
"Alright. You better eat already. I'll rest for a bit. I love & miss you"
"I love and Miss you too." We then both hung up.
5pm. I'll get some rest first. I went to bed again and slept.
Randy's P.O.V.
I drove to John's to eat breakfast with them. I'm happy that I got to call Mickie already. so far, I'm doing fine. Later I have a skype date with her. I walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
"Randy!" Torrie opened the door giving each other a friendly hug. "Come in" She opened the door wider. I saw John on the Poolside….tanning his back?
"John!" I half yelled. He fell to the ground
"My god, Randy you scare the shit out of me." John slapped my back and gave each other a manly hug
"It wasn't my fault…. So what's for breakfast?"
"French toast!" I heard Torrie's voice coming from the kitchen.
"Mind if I swim? You can continue with your 'tanning session'" I joked
"Shut up! I HOPE YOU DROWN" He yelled while I was going in the pool.
I had a few laps when I got distracted by the smell of nutella French toast. I got out of the pool and grabbed my towel. I sat with the couple.
"That is one fine looking French toast" I told torrie.
"and it will be better if you taste it!" She said. "So have you called Mickie?"
"Yeah, I just got on the phone with her a while ago."
"What'd she say?" John asked
"She told me she's working on the new designs cause they're gonna release a new fashion line"
"Has she met any cute French guys?" John and I exchanged looks and glared at Torrie. "What?"
"Oh so you're gonna replace me now?" John asked
"Of course not! You're John Freakin' Cena. Why would I replace you?" Torrie said kissing 'her' man.
"What are you up today?" Cena asked me
"Oh you know, I'll just…" I wasn't able to answer I have nothing to do today. "…Stay home and sleep. I've been lacking some sleep nowadays" I fake smiled.
"Excuses" John mumbled. Until Torrie hit his arm.
"Hey I had an amazing breakfast. I'll go home now alright." I hugged both of them and John led my outside. I'm now on my way home. Will I be home everyday? I have nothing to do.
