Chapter 9 : Gone With the Wind
Autumn ' s Apartment
Autumn was in her apartment with Traci trying to get ready for her date with Bobby Roode .
" Traci , I don ' t know what I am going to wear . " Autumn said going through her closet .
" We ' ll find something , hey what is that ? " Traci said looking at a red blouse and black pants . The red blouse sparkled in the sun .
" That was my mom ' s outfit , it was hers when she went on her first date . " Autumn said .
" Why not wear it for Roode ? " Traci asked .
" I guess I could do that . " Autumn said looking at it .
" Go ahead try it on . " Traci said .
Autumn took it and walked into the bathroom coming back out with the outfit on .
" Wow , yeah , I think Bobby will like it . " Traci said smiling .
Autumn looked at herself in the mirror and starring back at her was a similar image of her mother .
" What ' s wrong ? " Traci asked .
" I just never realized how much I look like my mother until now . " Autumn said .
" Do you miss her ? " Traci asked .
" All the time , but even more on days when I wrestle for her to see me doing what I love and living the dream that I had as a little girl . I wish she was here to meet Bobby . " Autumn start tearing up .
" Oh come on now , I didn ' t mean to make you start the waterworks kid . " Traci said hugging her .
" Now what ? " Autumn said drying her tears .
" Come on , I will help you . " Traci said doing a makeover for Autumn .
After a few minutes Autumn was amazed at how she looked , growing up with her dad she could have never looked like this , because no one cared and he didn ' t care about how she felt . But , here she was surround by people who loved her and cared for her and she was the happiest she had ever been in her whole life .
" You like it ? " Traci asked .
" Love it , " Autumn said .
" Then come on , Bobby Roode awaits . " Traci said as they both walked out of the bedroom .
" So , what are you going to do ? " Autumn asked .
" After you leave , I am going out with Frankster . " Traci said .
" You call Frankie , Frankster ? " Autumn asked .
" Sometimes . " Traci said .
" Alright then , " Autumn chuckled as a knock came at the door .
Autumn went to the door opening it and seeing Bobby Roode standing their with Frankie Kazarian .
" Hey , boys , come in . " Autumn said letting them in .
When Bobby saw her his heart skipped a beat , Autumn was very beautiful just like a cherry blossom , his cherry blossom .
" Wow , you look amazing . " Bobby said .
" Thank you . " Autumn said taking a moment to look Bobby over .
Roode was in black slacks , red shirt , and a black coat to match the pants he had on . His long hair was pulled back and he was wearing black , dress shoes .
" Hmm , I would say someone planned this as well . " Bobby said looking at Frankie and Traci .
" We don ' t know a thing . " Frankie and Traci both said .
" Hmm , it suits you well . " Autumn said .
" So , I guess Traci and I will get out of here and let you two go on your date . What do you say dear ? " Frankie asked .
" Coming , have fun you two . " Traci said to Bobby and Autumn said .
" We will . " Bobby and Autumn both said .
" And don ' t do anything the Cowboy wouldn ' t do . " Frankie said .
" Right , " Bobby and Autumn both laughed and shook their heads at Kazarian .
" Come on , Kaz , before you get into trouble . " Traci said as they both left .
" Well , shall we . " Bobby asked .
" We shall . " Autumn said as they both walked out of the apartment .
Autumn locked up the apartment and then they went to Bobby ' s car to dinner reservations that Bobby had made for them .
" So , what ' s up with you ? You seem quiet . " Roode questioned .
" Nothing I was just thinking of my mom . " Autumn said .
" You don ' t usually talk about her ? " Roode asked curious .
" I don ' t usually have much to go on , she died when I was two remember ? " Autumn looked at Bobby .
" Yeah , I remember . " Roode said .
" I don ' t really remember her to well , except what she looked like from pictures and small memories . " Autumn said .
" Why are you thinking about her ? " Bobby asked .
" Because I realized how much I look like her in this outfit . I never noticed before and I wish she was here with me to watch me wrestle and to meet you . " Autumn said .
" Can I tell you what James use to say about losing his dad ? " Roode asked .
" Sure , " Autumn said .
" No matter were you go in life and no matter what you do , the loved ones that we lose never stop looking down on us . They continue to guide us through the days of our lives and watch over us even when we sleep . Their spirits live on through us as we walk among the living and as long as we hold on to the good memories nothing will separate the love and bonds we have with those who have gone on before us to the other side . " Roode said .
" Wow , that came from the Cowboy ? " Autumn asked .
" Yeah , you will be surprised where he gets his inspiration from , but he has a good head on his shoulders . " Bobby said as he pulled into the restaurant parking spot .
" Well lets go in . " Roode said as he got out and walked to the other side of the car opening the door for Autumn .
" What gentleman . " Autumn laughed .
Roode lead them inside to the host who took them to their table . It was a seafood place perfect for both of them . They ordered what they wanted and waited for it to arrive .
" I know how you don ' t like alcohol , so , I had this brought to us . " Bobby said as he showed her the Shirley Temples .
" You are amazing my Canadian Knight . " Autumn said taking one of the Shirley Temples .
" I try my best to amaze people , but sometimes I like to take a day off from the task of being amazing . " Roode said getting a laugh from Autumn .
" Wow , that ' s good . " Autumn said as the waiter brought them their food out to them .
They began eating at first in silence .
" So , what do you have planned after this ? " Autumn asked .
" How about a movie ? " Roode asked .
" Sounds good to me . " Autumn said .
Soon they were done eating , Bobby paid the tab , and then they were off once again in Roode ' s car . Autumn didn ' t know where they were going until Roode pulled into a drive - in movie theater . Roode paid for the movie tickets and drove into a spot away from everyone else .
" Wow , this is like from another time and place . " Autumn said .
" Yeah , I figured you might like it . " Roode said .
They sat in the car watching Gone With the Wind , part of the way through they got into a popcorn fight when Bobby decided to put his cold coke on Autumn ' s arm making her shiver . The security had to come and tell them to hush or they would have to leave .
" I make more than he does in a weeks time . " Roode stuck his tongue out at the back of the security guard as he was walking away .
" Wow , you are something else . " Autumn whispered to Bobby .
" But , you love me anyways . " Bobby said .
" Yes , I do . " Autumn said leaning against Bobby ' s arm who looked down at her .
" You have beautiful eyes . " Roode said .
" Uhm , its to dark to see my eyes Robert . " Autumn said .
" But , they are still beautiful . " Roode repeated .
" Uh huh . " Autumn said as Bobby leaned down and kissed her on her lips .
" I love you . " Bobby said .
" I love you , too , Bobby . " Autumn said .
After the movie was over Bobby took her home and walked her to her apartment door which he then kissed her good night .
" Good night , " Bobby said .
" Good night , Bobby . " Autumn said back to him and then went into the apartment happy .
Autumn went to bed that night with a smile on her face happy that she now had the best man around to love her .
