Chapter 19 Advice
Randy's POV
After my match I headed straight to the locker room, now that work was over with I could go back to thinking of Raven. At first I thought that maybe she hated men touching her because men had done something to her but after hearing that she slammed AJ, a woman, into the wall I was back to being confused as to why she hated to be touched. I got changed in record time and started to shove things into my bag when the door opened.
"Orton!" Triple H barked like a drill sergent.
"Sir! yes sir!" I saluted him like in my marine days.
Hunter grinned "Sorry I thought you had music on"
"Can I relax now sir or are you gonna tell me to drop and give you twenty?"
"I wanted to talk to you about something"
"Ok"
"Its about Raven"
"Is she ok?" I furrowed my brows in concern. If they had done anything to her I would kill them myself.
"Your concerned for her?"
"Of course I am"
"I wanted to ask if you were serious about her? Because if this is just some game your playing because your bored then you may as well man up and take your beating now"
"Its not a game Hunter, I like her. I genuinely like her and I would like to get to know her even if that means killing someone"
"You don't have to go that far Orton" Hunter laughed "But seriously, if your serious about getting to know my neice then I guess I could help you"
"Help me?"
He laughed again "I have no doubt that you could get your own women but Raven's a little different and you need help getting to that one"
"Why do you want to help me?"
"Me and her sister believe that its time she tries to heal and so I've decided to give you a chance at doing that. Just don't hurt her because I'm sure Izzy wouldn't mind going back to prison for her sister"
"Ok so whats this help your going to give me?"
"Take it slowly, very slowly. So slowly that you feel like your going insane from all the slowness"
"Ok slow as in baby steps"
"No slow as in turtle steps, snail steps. If you can think of something slower than that then do that"
"Ok so take it slow. Anything else?" I was greatful to be getting some help, I really was because Hunter was right, Raven was different to other women and maybe Teddy was right, my powers were dwindling.
"Well you know not to touch her"
"Yeah I think we all know that" I laughed still thinking of poor AJ being slammed into the wall.
"Don't mention the past at any cost because sometimes you have no idea how she'll react, she might break down or she might snap. Either way it hurts"
"Well I know nothing about her past so how can I mention it?" I looked at him confused.
"No doubt you've seen the scars so that would count as mentioning the past"
"Scars?"
He just looked at me "You've never seen them?"
"No"
"Randy for every tattoo she has you can bet there's a scar underneath that she's trying to hide"
I didn't say anything as she flashed in my brain, the only place that was tattoo free was her face. It just made me more curious about what had happened to her, another reason I wanted to get to know her.
"Ok so I won't mention the past. Anything else? Anything that is of actual use?"
"You need to put her at ease so she can learn to trust again, again you need to be slow but the one thing that never fails to get her talking to you? Talk about wrestling."
With that he left me to it, I couldn't wait to try out this new information and techniques on Raven. I wasn't in love with her I knew that but I also knew that I would end up that way, it was just a feeling I had and for once it didn't scare me, I merely embraced it. Raven needed me and I needed her.
