The smell of coffee wafted through Natalya's nose as she sat down at her chair and began getting ready for a day at work. She flicked her long, blonde layered locks behind her shoulders and buzzed her assistant to bring in the first patient.
"Bring the first one in" she spoke.
"He's a new patient, Doctor" said her assistant.
"Alright, that's fine. Bring him in" she said before lifting her finger of the speaker phone.
Natalya pulled out an empty file and placed it in front of her with a pen ready in her hand. She began writing the date, when her eyes flew up at the man standing in front of her. She could feel her cheeks flush as she watched the grin form on his face. His blue eyes glued to her. "Hello Randy, what can I do for you today?" she said, the smile becoming permanent on her face.
"Hello Doctor Neidhart... seems this is the only way I can see you" he said as he sat in front of her.
She looked at him a little unpleased, "What?"
"It's been a week since I saw you at Wade and Lea's wedding, since then...you've been hard to get in contact with" he said, "I've left you message but you never got back to me..."
"I'm sorry Randy" she spoke sincerely, "I've just been really busy at work."
"Work? So it's not because of what happened after the wedding..." he asked.
Her eyes grew wide, "Of course not."
"Are you sure? Because since then you've been really distant and the last thing I'm trying to do is to become clingy but I'm beginning to really like you and I just want to know if I'm wasting my time" said Randy.
She could see how serious he was being and she enjoyed watching him want to be with her. It was something that lacked in her past relationships. Randy was different. "I really like you too" she said as she got out of her seat. She walked toward him and Randy slowly stood up.
"Maybe we could see each other tonight?" she asked, "I finish work at 5 and I'd be ready at 7?"
He grinned as he looked down at her, "How about 8?"
She laughed from relief, "Yes thank you! I know I take a while to get ready."
"I know you too well" he said.
"Well since that's settled, need you need help with anything else?" she asked him.
"I thought I was suffering from a broken heart but it must have just been my head... maybe I could get a kiss to feel better... or do I need a prescription?" he asked slyly.
Natalya blushed as she moved closer to him and stepped on her toes to reach his lips. Randy held onto her hips, lifting her slightly as the two kissed. She came back down and grinned, "See you tonight, Randy."
Randy gave her a wink that melted her heart, "See you tonight."
...
"Why are we doing this?" asked Phil as he lazed on the couch watching the television.
Adele crossed the lounge room toward the kitchen, "Because... we are! So hurry up and please get ready."
"Why would I want to do this? You didn't even talk to me about it" yelled Phil from the lounge room.
"Because I knew you would just say no... so please just hurry up, they'll be here soon" she scolded.
Phil stood up and walked into the kitchen, "Babe... I don't want to see these people, isn't it enough that I see this idiot at work."
Adele stopped cooking and approached her fiancé, "Phillip... I think everyone deserves a second chance... even an idiot like Drew McIntyre. He wants to be our friend and he really wants to make it up to you."
"He does?"
She nodded and kissed his cheek, "He wants to extend a branch of friendship."
"Why? So he get closer with you?" he asked, "Because then I'll kick the dick's ass so bad, he'll go to sleep."
Adele smiled, "No... He realises that Wade has become close friends with you and Wade means something to him and anyone who Wade is friends with, Drew wishes to be friends with."
"So this is about his friendship with Wade?"
"No... He also realises how wrong he's acted between us and especially toward you. He just wants a fresh start with you," she said, "But only if he proves himself."
This grin formed on Phil's face and Adele knew what she had said had elated him. "So... if he doesn't prove himself... I can be a total jackass to him."
Adele shrug her shoulders, "...Sure."
Phil quickly paced toward the bedroom, "Alright... I'll be ready soon." He quickly threw on a much nicer outfit than the sweatpants he was wearing before.
Adele shook her head and returned cooking, "He's such a goof."
...
Moments later, the door knocked and Phil went to answer it.
"Hello Drew" said Phil as he opened the door. He put out his hand waiting for Drew to reciprocate.
"Hello Phil" said the Scotsman as he shook Phil's hand tightly, "Nice of you to have us over." Clinging on to Drew's arm was Ivana; she smiled at the Phil and Adele kindly.
"Oh that's right... Ivana" gritted Adele through her teeth to Phil.
"Second chances, remember dear" said Phil mockingly. Adele smirked at him then led the couple into the living room.
"Your home is lovely" said Ivana as they walked through.
Adele smiled.
"Why thank you Ivana" said Phil acting a little over the top.
Ivana grinned at Phil. Adele glared at the two, "Can I get you something to drink?" she said simply looking at Drew.
"I'd like a beer... oh but since Phil doesn't drink, I'll just have a Pepsi Max" said Drew.
Phil grew smug, "No... Just because I don't drink alcohol doesn't mean that I don't have any in the fridge."
Drew became a little nervous, "Alright a beer then."
Phil looked at Adele, "Grab a beer and..." he said then he smiled and looked at Ivana, "grab some of the red wine for the lady here."
Adele's eyes grew wide at her fiancé for acting for a complete prick; the point of this evening was for him to give Drew another chance not for making it completely difficult for him. She walked into the kitchen to get the drinks.
"So... you two have become somewhat of a couple I see" said Phil.
Drew and Ivana exchanged loving looks at one another. "Well since Wade introduced us at his wedding, we've seemed to connect" said Drew.
"Well that's great but Ivana I must say you've done a little worse than your last relationship" said Phil.
"Well apparently my ex husband is seeing a doctor, but I'd take Drew over that woman user any day" said Ivana staring at Drew.
"Woman user hey?" said Phil smirking at Drew, "Yeah you've definitely moved onward and upward."
Ivana looked a little confused but Drew kept quiet.
Adele returned with the beverages and found the other couple sitting across from her fiancé looking absolutely uncomfortable. "So... dinner is ready."
...
Randy waited outside Natalya's apartment; he knocked on the wooden door and felt the slight butterflies growing inside him. The light outside turned on and then the door opened, Randy was delighted as he watched Natalya walk toward him. She was dressed in a beautiful black and white bandage dress that enhanced her beautiful curves.
"You look beautiful" he said after lifting his jaw from the ground.
Natalya chuckled at herself, "Still got it."
Randy took out his hand and Natalya slipped hers in to his palm. He led her toward his car and opened the door, "I've learned that women like to have a gentleman so I'm learning."
She smiled, "We do like gentlemen, but not all the time sometimes a woman just need's a man that's certain of himself and the man that he is."
Randy looked a little relieved and then she sat in the car, he closed the door behind her and walked over to the driver side. He started the car and began driving off.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
Randy smiled, "I thought maybe you'd like this Italian place, it's the big hit of the area."
"Alright, I love Italian food" she said.
"We're learning so much about each other already" he said. Natalya blushed, Randy's gaze made her stomach tie into a knot.
As they walked inside Randy had a bewildered expression on his face.
"Is everything alright?" asked Natalya who wondered.
He looked around at the restaurant and noticed the different interior look, the whole restaurant looked completely different, new painted walls, new kitchen but still the same kind service. It had been a while since he had been here... he was trying to remember. "Yeah... its just the restaurant looks completely new to me" he said.
Natalya smiled, "Change can be good."
Randy nodded and gave her a reassuring smile before heading to the maître d'. "Table for two please?"
"Right away sir" he said as he ushered the couple to their seats.
"Thank you" the both said politely as they sat down.
"Can I get something for you to drink?" he asked with his notepad ready.
Randy hesitated while he waited for Natalya to request a drink.
She smiled kindly at the waiter, "I'll just have a beer, a Molson if you have any?"
The maître d' chuckled, "Visiting from the North, are we?"
"Eh!" she joked. The maître d' laughed again.
Randy was taken aback by how comfortable she made him feel. "I'll have the same."
Natalya grinned as the maître d' had left them, "Are you sure you can take on Canadian beer?"
"I can take any beer, just bring it on" he said.
She raised an eyebrow, "So you're ready to take on the challenge"
"Challenge accepted" he said sternly.
She laughed and shook her head as she flicked through the menu.
Randy wavered before speaking, "I'm happy you're here with me tonight, I haven't been this happy in quite a while."
She looked at his handsome face that she felt herself succumbing to, "I'm happy too."
"I was wondering... we've been out together numerous times and we make each other happy..." he stared at the empty plate in front of him.
"Yes?" she asked anxiously.
"Well... I was wondering if I could start calling you my girlfriend?" he asked coyly looking up at her.
Her face was stunned but at the same time thrilled. "Um... so you're asking me to become you're girlfriend?"
Randy nodded.
"Hmm... I don't know be the girlfriend of someone as sweet, funny and kind as you are... hard decision" she said.
He chuckled, "You forgot good looking."
"I also forgot modest" she laughed, she then took in a waiter walking toward the table with the beers in his hand, "I guess, I'll give you an answer by the end of the night... but it begins with this first beer."
Randy winked at her, "Like I said before... challenge accepted.
...
"Thank you for having us over Adele, dinner was delicious" said Drew as he headed toward the door.
"You're welcome" she said uneasily. Dinner had not gone how she had hoped; her fiancé even though he was clearly sober was acting like a complete drunk.
"Thanks Adele" said Ivana, "And thank you for being so kind to let me be here... I know I wasn't the nicest person to your best friend, but I do apologize."
Adele simply gave her the fakest smile she could muster up. Phil came from behind Adele and gave Ivana a rather affluent hug. "Goodbye Ivana, I don't see what the fuss is about you seem like a lovely woman" he said pulling away, "You're welcome to my home anytime."
"Why thank you, Phillip" said Ivana smiling at him.
"Please, call me Phil" he said.
Adele rolled her eyes.
"By the way Drew... could I just talk to you for a minute... alone" said Phil.
Adele looked at Drew's uncomfortable expression. "Um...sure" said the Scotsman following Phil outside leaving the two women still standing inside.
Adele mustered up another evil smile at Ivana before leaving her and going toward the dining room to clear the table.
She felt Ivana slowly follow her and she let out an annoyed sigh.
"Adele... I know you're not really fond of me" she voiced.
"Really?" Adele spoke under her breath. \
"But we've all moved on now and in time I'll apologize to all the people I hurt including Lea" she said, "I am sorry for the trouble I caused but on the bright side she's happily married now."
"What were you even doing at their wedding anyway? You're the last person Lea would want at her wedding" said Adele.
"Wade invited me... we're friends" she said.
"Friends?" said Adele letting out a judgemental laugh, "I don't think that's a good idea".
Ivana sighed, "Wade doesn't see anything in me but Drew does and that's all I care about."
"Well you two seem to be made for each other" said Adele as she walked away from her. But before she left she saw Drew and Phil walking alongside one another and they were smiling together. Adele almost dropped all the plates that she was holding in her hands. "Um...?"
This blank and weirded out expression grew as the two men strolled past her like best friends and Phil walked Drew and Ivana out. Adele stood there frozen not sure of what had just transpired.
She saw Phil come back inside with this sly grin on his face. He walked toward Adele and placed his hands around her hips before kissing her lips. "He's been rewarded with a fresh start" he said to her before kissing her lips again.
"I love you" she said smiling at him.
He sighed and shook his head, "I know, but doing something crazy like that is because I love you more."
...
Randy drove back to Natalya's apartment, where he was eagerly waiting on her response to his question.
"So home sweet home..." she muttered as she got out of the car.
Randy got out of the car and walked toward her door, still very keen and she could feel that.
He towered over her as Natalya glanced up at him, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink. "I had a really good time tonight, Randy and I was impressed by your Canadian beer drinking skills."
"I told you it was too easy" he said smugly.
She sighed and then began searching for her house keys inside her handbag. Randy hesitated after seeing her, "But I was just trying to impress you so your answer would be yes... I was doing all of this to make you happy, to see you smile. You light up my heart whenever I see your beautiful smile."
Natalya stopped looking for her keys and felt her cheeks turn a bright red. Randy smirked after seeing this; he then pulled her bag away from her grasp and placed it on the concrete floor below them. His blue eyes flickered between her warm brown eyes and her pink lips. He came in closer toward her and she closed her eyes, she then felt his lips engulf her own and this his tongue gently swerved inside of her mouth. Her arms moved around his neck as his hands pressed onto her back. They kissed each other harder before Randy slowly pulled away.
Natalya felt intoxicated from the kiss, her eyes fluttering while she tried to catch her breath. "What were we talking about again?"
Randy smiled and kissed her cheek, "Goodnight Natalya."
Natalya was a little baffled as she watched him walk away from her. "Randy... Randy wait" she spoke as she followed behind him.
Randy smiled once he heard her ask for him, he turned around slowly and gazed at her.
She felt herself grow very shy as she twirled her blonde hair, "Um..."
"Yes?"
She stood up proudly and exhaled, "Well... I'd love nothing more than to be your girlfriend, Randy Orton."
