Right Where We Left Off

Chapter 11

Paige woke up the next morning surprisingly early, before John. She had a massive headache and could barely take the sound of the shower she ran for herself. She changed into a sweat suit, putting on some makeup and throwing her hair into a ponytail before grabbing her wallet and leaving the room. She made her way downstairs to the little café and ordered herself a coffee along with a small breakfast. She opened the newspaper she had grabbed from the front desk before she went into the café and read the headlines. She wasn't able to get that far before she heard someone taking a seat across her.

She looked up and allowed herself to flash Dave a small smile. "Good Morning."

"Morning." He said with a smile. "I'm surprised to see you here this early in the morning-I hear you had a wild night."

She groaned and thanked the waitress when she set her coffee down. "You could say that." Her mind began to drift, recalling the night. She remembered doing some shots with the divas, dancing a bit, kissing Randy. She groaned at that and shook her head. She guessed she'd have to talk to Randy about that.

Dave chuckled. "Wish I could have seen it myself."

"Oh please, it's not like I was dancing on the bar. But, hey, why weren't you there?" She asked, as if she just noticed he hadn't been there last night.

He shrugged. "I'm getting too old for that. I do it sometimes, but I can't go out every night like these guys do." He leaned back and a smile slowly spread across his lips.

"What's that look for?" She asked as she took a sip of her coffee.

"You kissed Randy."

Her eyes went wide and she looked around as if to make sure no one was listening. "He told you?!"

Dave laughed. "I was kidding, but spill girl!" He said, leaning forward.

She glared at him and shook her head. "I hate you."

"You know you love me. But, no, I was kidding. He did tell me. The poor guy can't get you off his mind."

"Really?" She asked, partly surprised and happy. Dave nodded.

"So what's up with that little Miss I-don't-like-Randy?" He asked.

She let out a sigh. "Well, I admit I'm attracted to him and," She paused. "I honestly don't know. I shouldn't have kissed him."

"Hey, don't say that. You obviously did it for a reason." He reasoned with her.

She shrugged. "We'll just have to see how it is between us." She said, wanting to see what her reaction would be the next time they were near each other. Her food had just arrived, and not even a minute after, John sat down next to Dave. "Morning John, sleep well?"

He smiled. "Better than you I'm sure."

She laughed a little. "Probably."

"Hey man, we missed you last night, what were you up to?" John said, greeting Dave.

"You know, the usual. Paul and I had a couple drinks at the bar then went upstairs to watch some tv."

Paige finished chewing the food in her mouth before saying, "Wow grandpa, you really know how to party." She mocked.

"That's right," He said with a small chuckle. "Now if you kids will excuse me, I gotta hit the gym." John stood up to let him through before sitting back down.

"You have fun last night?" John asked.

She nodded. "I did. I definitely shouldn't do that every night but it was fun."

He nodded then switched gears. "So don't forget tonight's your first day on the job."

"No way I could forget that. I've been nervous all morning." She admitted and elaborated when she saw his confused face. "I just don't want to screw anything up. I know I've done this before but…I don't know, I just feel like there's extra pressure this time."

He waved off my concerns. "Please, don't stress. This is wrestling, it isn't life or death. Relax."

She nodded, though she doubted she would be able to calm down until she got a couple of days under her belt. "Ok, so we should probably go over your schedule soon."

"Ok, I was going to hit the gym right now but what if we meet in the room in like an hour or so?" He suggested, glancing at the watch on his wrist.

She nodded. "That's perfect." She waved to him after he stood up and left the room. She spent the next ten minutes finishing her breakfast and coffee. She was sipping on her coffee when she saw Randy enter the restaurant and stand by the entrance. He was surveying the room, looking for friends. Their eyes connected and they both smiled. He lifted his hand to wave and she just smiled wider. He broke their gaze and continued his search with his eyes around the room. Finally, he located his friends and made his way over there. He threw one last glance over his shoulder at Paige before sitting down and joining the conversation at the table. She finished her coffee quickly and waited patiently for her waitress to bring her her check. Once everything was all paid for she left the café and made her way back up to the hotel room.

Once she was there, she hopped in the shower and dried her hair then straightened it. She quickly pulled out an outfit to wear that she thought was appropriate for her first day on the job. John had told her not to dress too casual like she was attending a wrestling event but she also didn't have to look like she was going into the office. She pulled on a pair of skinny jeans tucked into a pair of brown knee high, three inch heel, boots along with a jade colored slightly sheer chiffon blouse with ruffles and a lace neckline. She took a seat at the small dining table and turned on her computer. While her computer was loading, she opened up her day planner and took her phone out of her purse. She knew most thought it was a bit over the top, but she liked to keep all her client's itineraries on her computer, her book and in her phone. John came in a few minutes later and took a seat next to her while wiping the sweat off his forehead with a towel.

"Alright, so at 2," She said, glancing at her watch. "in two hours or so, you and Maryse need to be at the local news station for a Q&A." She said, then went through his whole day, ending with the house show.

"Alright, sounds good."

"Good, good. You should probably go shower and I'll get myself all up to date." She said, wanting to get all three of her resources up to date with the information Stephanie McMahon had emailed her about John's already scheduled engagements.

"You know, I was wondering, why do you have all these planners?" He asked, gesturing to her computer, phone and planner.

"I'd rather be safe than sorry. If something happens and I, for whatever reason, lose my phone, I don't want to screw with the WWE's name just because I didn't know where your signing was. I'd rather have at least one other source I could get to. Just in case, ya know?" She said, looking up at John with a smile.

He smiled back, "You know, Randy's PA, who keeps everything on her phone, told me once that if she lost her phone, she was probably in the wrong business."

Paige rolled her eyes, obviously she had come across personal assistants like Carla. "Yeah well shit happens sometimes. We'll see what happens when little miss perfect forgets her phone charger and Randy's left driving around a strange city in search for his appearance destination."

John couldn't help but smile and lean forward a little. "Something tells me this has happened to you before?"

She tilted her head to the side as if to say, duh! "Of course. It's happened to every PA that's ever existed and if they say it hasn't, they're lying." She paused and then explained her experience. "It was my first PA job and my phone died. It was all bad and to make a long story short, not only was it my first PA job, it was my shortest." She said and couldn't help but giggle a little. "So ever since, I like to always expect the unexpected." John nodded admirably. "But you, mister, need to go shower." She said and pushed him away. "Shoo, shoo, shoo!" He laughed and got up, making his way into the bathroom.
