"We've got eyes at 4 o'clock."
"Is he cute?"
"More like they, but in their own ways."
"What the hell?"
"Don't you dare look. You'd know all to well who they were if you looked at them."
"Wrestlers?"
"Uh huh."
"Which ones?"
"From the glance I was able to get, Homicide, Senshi, Sabin, and…"
"And who?"
"Scott."
"Uh-oh."
"Tell me about it. I'm in trouble now. There's no way in hell…"
"Too late."
"What?"
"He's coming this way."
"Oh shit."
The girls were suddenly joined by Homicide and Scott D'Amore.
"Evening ladies, how are we this evening?"
A chorus of goods and thank yous came from them.
"We saw you sitting over here and wondered if you wouldn't mind some company."
Ericka noticed that Lisa couldn't look at Scott. She'd expected as much. Lisa was shy when it came to the opposite sex and understandably so. She had confided in Ericka that the only guy she found attractive like that at all was Scott. Now here he was right in front of her. She decided to give her a little help.
"The more the merrier."
Lisa's eyes shot up at Ericka. Ericka mouthed the words "Just try."
"My name's Scott, this is my friend Nelson. My friend Brandon would have joined us too but he's chicken."
"Man if he heard that…"
Suddenly Brandon came walking over.
"Scott, you mind repeating that?"
"It got you over here didn't it?"
Brandon just shook his head. The girls made room for the boys, and somehow Scott ended up beside Lisa. She hoped he couldn't hear her heartbeat because she sure could, loud and fast. The girls got their food and Scott looked at Lisa's.
"That all you're going to eat?"
"I don't need much."
"Yea if you want to starve yourself."
"I gave my appetite to Nicole, the one with the tapeworm."
"And so who are you?"
"Lisa."
"You live here in Orlando?"
"Actually all of us live in Ft. Myers. You are Canadian."
"How did…?"
"Your accent is a dead giveaway. Not to mention I know exactly who all of you are."
"So you're here for the show?"
"Our mother got us into it and we finally decided to come up here and check out the show."
"You're all sisters?"
"Oh yes."
Suddenly her phone rang. When she looked at the caller ID and saw the house number come up, red flags immediately appeared.
"Excuse me for a second."
Lisa got away from the table and got to where she could hear.
"Hello?"
"Aunt Lisa?"
"Playboy you scared me. I thought it was Carrie telling me something happened to you."
"I'm okay. I was going to make sure you made it there okay. Mom was supposed to call but she didn't."
"Oh baby I'm sorry. We got in and Aunt Nicole wanted food."
"I know how Aunt Nicole is about food. It's okay."
"I'm sorry pumpkin. You need to talk to your mom?"
"No that's all I wanted. Oh and one more thing."
"Yea Playboy?"
"Can you and Aunt Nicole try to find Mom a boyfriend this weekend?"
That sent Lisa rolling with laughter.
"Why do you ask that?"
"She needs someone to make her happy besides me."
"Baby you make her happy enough."
"I know this, it's just that…"
"You want a guy in your mom's life besides you that will care for her."
"Something like that."
"I'll see what I can do Playboy. No promises though okay?"
"Okay."
"Love you Playboy. Have fun with Carrie."
"Love you Aunt Lisa"
When she hung up, Lisa laughed again. By then Ericka heard her, looking at her with confusion on her face. She got up and made her way to Lisa.
"What is your malfunction?"
"Playboy told me to find you a man this weekend."
"You're joking."
"No. You forgot to call him when we got here Mom."
"Oh shit. Sorry."
"I covered, telling him Aunt Nicole needed food."
"Thank you. Now I do believe a certain Canadian is missing your company."
"Shut up. One question Mom. Do we mention Playboy at all?"
"Sure, he's my son and a part of my life. Age and all Lisa."
"Okay. Making sure."
"Thank you."
The two headed back over to the table and Scott instantly smiled when he saw Lisa.
"Sorry about that. It was a call I had to take."
"Obviously it made you happy."
"It's my nephew, he always makes me happy. I thought it was his sitter telling me something happened."
"How old is he?"
"He just turned 10 a few days ago."
"It's a shame you couldn't bring him with you."
"Actually he's not into wrestling. He's more into science, especially dinosaurs."
"I finally found a topic to put you at ease with around me."
"He usually does. I've been around him for most of my life and all of his."
"Now tell me about you."
"What about me?"
"What do you do for fun, what you do for a living?"
"I'll answer those in reverse order. I'm part time PR manager for a radio station."
"What format?"
"Hip hop. I listen to everything so it doesn't bother me any. As far as what I do for fun, there's not really much besides wrestling I do enjoy. I write, I read autobiographies, I draw sometimes, hell I even sing on occasion although I don't think I'm that good at it. How about you?"
"Well when I'm not here for this, I am usually at the restaurant I run in Canada. I enjoy watching movies, and like you read autobiographies. I love watching older TV shows when I get the chance."
"Older, what decade?"
"Usually anywhere from the 80's to 2000."
"OK, how about Beverly Hills 90210?"
"Have the first season on DVD."
"Me too. Love that show. My sisters laugh at me over it. Hey Luke Perry was hot then."
"Not the same reason I watch it, but understood. How about the Wonder Years?"
"It's too old for me. (laughs) It started the year I was born and cancelled by the time I was 5."
"For you to even know that shocks me."
Lisa could tell he was doing mental math.
"I'm 19 Scott."
"You did it again."
"I'm sorry, have the ability to read people. It's developed more because of my job."
"It's ok. Surprising but okay."
"Good."
"Why don't you let me take you to a movie tonight? I had planned on going to see one anyways, and it would be nice not to be alone for once."
"What were you planning on seeing?"
"I actually don't know. I was going to look at the paper to see what was playing and then decide."
"I can't believe I'm about to do this."
She grabbed a business card she had out of her purse and handed it to him.
"You decide what you want to see, give me a call on my cell phone and we'll go from there okay?"
Lisa saw Ericka grinning out of the corner of her eye.
"Don't even start Ericka."
"I didn't say a word."
"Sure, your actions always have spoken louder than your words."
Scott smiled at the exchange between the two sisters.
"You'll have to excuse her. She has issues."
"Oh I don't mind at all. You sure it's not a problem with the movie?"
"No, not at all. It's just something you wouldn't understand Scott."
"Try me."
"Maybe later when we go to that movie?"
"Works for me."
The girls left and went back to their room with Scott promising to call Lisa later. She fell back on her bed and squealed.
"Oh my fucking God!"
"You go girl. Not only you get the boy you've been crushing after for forever, and he asked you out on a date."
"I know, but what if he asks questions?"
"Answer what you feel comfortable with, nothing more. It's not like he's gonna give you the spanish inquisition or something."
"Hell, I've never been on a date. I don't know if I'm supposed to kiss him, hold his hand, what."
"Relax. Do what comes natural to you."
"Since when did you become the word of wisdom?"
"Since Mags started giving me advice on it. I was the only one old enough for her to do that with before she left."
"How are things working out with you and Mr. Brandon?"
"We're talking. He said that I better make it a point to see him at fanfest tomorrow."
"Wonder how Nicole turned out with Homicide?"
"They were getting pretty chummy."
"How in the hell is this happening?"
"Shocked the shit out of you too huh?"
"You think? You know what broke the ice between Scott and me?"
"What?"
"Your son. After I got back from that phone call, we started talking about him, and it went from there."
"I bet Xavier will be glad to know he at least helped his Aunt Lisa get a man."
"Quit talking like that. I dunno if he's even going to call."
"Oh believe me, he'll call."
