Chapter 5: Rejection

Danni turned toward the airplane window as Randy settled back into his seat. She was determined that if Randy was going to bug her, she was going to fucking ignore him. What an asshole? What the hell did he want from her? She shouldn't have looked out that window though, because as the plane began to move Danni realized how fast the ground was moving away. She paniced a little and reached for the arm rest as her body tensed up. She could barely breath. Maybe she should have been more nervous about flying. Heather had said that it would be like a theme park ride, but it was way worse. Theme park rides are at least connected to the ground, and they didn't make her feel like her heart was going to jump out of her mouth. Danni jerked her head away from the window, and pulled the shade over it as fast as she could. She just needed to relax and take a deep breath. She couldn't puke! She wouldn't puke! Danni would rather die than puke in front of all these people.

"Are you O.K.? You look kind of sick.", Randy said looking Danni over. Her smooth olive complexion had become sickly pale, one of her hands had a death grip on the arm rest while the other held on to the seat in front of her, and her breaths were short and ragged like she was having sex. Randy smiled at the thought. Is that how she breathes when she has sex? He'd like to find out, but she just kept shutting him down. He couldn't even talk to her. He couldn't even remember the last time he was shut out like this. He didn't even know if he ever had been. What was wrong with this girl? Was she blind? There are a tons of women who would love to be her right now. He should know. They were all over him everday. Danni turning him down made him feel something he hadn't dealt with in a long time...rejection. It made him struggle. He felt like he had to push just a little harder. In fact, he couldn't remember when he ever put this much effort into just talking to a girl. He considered dropping this whole situation like bad habit, and finding one of the many girls who would want to talk to him plus more, but it was driving him nuts. If he could just get her to flirt with him, he would drop the whole thing, but she wouldn't even talk to him nicely.

Randy smiled at Danni and repeated his question," Are you O.K.?"

"I'm fine. I just...I just...Does this plane always take off like that?", Danni replied trying to sound normal, despite being completely scared.

"Ya. It's like any other plane. In fact, I think it flies smoother than most planes. Why? Are you nervous?", Randy said staring at her hand that clung to the arm rest.

"No! I'm just...Alright, I'll be honest I'm a little nervous, but this is my first flight ever. O.K.? Don't be a jerk about it."

"I wasn't trying to be. It's just kind of weird that you've never been on a plane at your age. How old are you anyways?"

"I'm 22, and it's not weird. Some people just never have a reason to get on a plane."

Randy smiled and thought This is an improvement. At least she's talking to me like I'm human and not a dog.

"You smile a lot. Do you know that?", Danni said wishing she could take it back the moment it came out her mouth. She shouldn't have said that, but it was true. He had smiled at least 10 of these big, huge, kid in a candy store smiles since he'd sat down. They were cute smiles, and almost as nice as the way he smelled, but Danni had decided she wouldn't care. He was a jerk. Right? Danni bit her tongue. She couldn't second guess herself. Ofcourse he was a jerk, and she didn't have time for jerks, even jerks with cute smiles. They were really cute smiles. Smiles that made her want his mouth. She did it again. She was letting her immature cravings take over her thoughts. She felt like she was back in high school. Well, she'd kill that feeling. She wouldn't be like that again.

"You like the way I smile?", Randy said smiling once again.

"No, but you do smile a lot. I just wanted to know if there was something wrong with you."

So much for improvement. "No. There's nothing wrong with me. I just happen to be a happy person unlike some people I know."

"What? Are you trying to say I'm not a happy person? I can be happy when I want to be. The problem is you don't make me happy.", Danni said as she thought That's the second person who said that today.

"Not trying to."

"Good. I'm glad.", Danni said killing the conversation.

Randy wanted to say something, but dropped it. She was such a bitch to him. What the fuck was he doing wrong? He could admit that when he first met her he wasn't exactly "Mr. I'll do you a favor", but for all he knew back then she was just another fucking fan. This was driving him fucking crazy, but if she thought that she had gotten rid of him, she was wrong. He wouldn't quit. He couldn't quit until she at least flirted with him.

The rest of the flight went pretty smoothly...almost. Danni had fallen asleep after her fight with Randy, and the last thing she could remember as she dozed off was wondering whether there was a I hate Randy Orton club, and when she should join. She probably would have slept the whole flight too, but the plane was beginning to land. It jerked as it neared the ground, and shook her out of her sleep. She woke up so scared she almost pissed herself. She just grabbed whatever was next to her and closed her eyes until she heard the screeching of the landing gear hitting the ground. She sighed and tried to bring herself back to normal. The plane was on the ground, and she was safe right here in...Randy's arms.

"Oh my God! You let me do that!",she said jumping out of Randy's arms as fast as she could. How could she have forgotten he was right there? How could she not have known after she grabbed him around his chest? How could she have not known? It felt so good. It felt so safe, but it was so ackward and wrong. At least it turned out that way when she came to her senses. Before that though, she could have stayed there forever pressed against him with her face nuzzling against his neck wrapped in his arms. What the fuck? She needed off this plane right now. Right now!

"Let you? Are you trying to say that was my fault? Wait! Who grabbed who!", Randy said tempted to pull her right back in his arms. He'd loved every second of that. He loved the way she smelled, the way her chest was pressed against his, and especially the wayher breath felton his neckas itsentchills down his spine. God! He wanted her just to shut her big mouth, and grab him again.

"I'm not trying to say anything. I just want to get the hell out of here.", Danni said practically jumping over Randy to get to the aisle. She slammed into to someone and practically fell backwards, but she was grabbed around her waist and steadied.

"Hey. You should watch what your doing baby, or you'll end up in everybody's arms today.", John said letting Danni go as she struggled to move away from him and Randy in the crammed aisle.

What was this everybody hold Danni day? She needed to get off the plane now. Those few minutes felt like forever as she waited to unboard the plane, but when she did she practically broke into a run through the airport. She needed to get away. She'd meet Heather at baggage claim, but for right now she needed to run. Run as fast as she could.
