Chapter 5
"Great job out there Trish", April said as they walked backstage, "The crowd went crazy when you came out!"
Trish smiled, it was nice knowing that the fans didn't forget about her.
"When you announced that you were back and ready to take the title back, it was deafening!"
Trish smiled, she was actually very excited about the storyline creative came up with for them. Trish had announced that night that she was after the Diva belt and her next goal was to dismantle the Divas of Doom. She wasn't sure if the belt was set to return to her, but she really didn't care. Though, it would be nice to extend her records.
She also saw a lot of potential in April. With Celeste turning heel soon, she assumed she'd be working a few tag matches with her. April was slightly reminiscent of Lita in the sense that she can pull some high flyer moves. With a little practice on her moves, she could really excel. And Trish was very anxious to help April out with those moves.
As they walked toward the diva's dressing room, she heard her name being called from behind.
"Hey, Trish…"
She turned around to find Randy walking towards her. She looked at April who decided to give them privacy, "I'll see you later." Trish smiled and nodded. She turned back to Randy.
"Nice entrance there. I can honestly say, the entire arena was surprised."
She smiled, "Yea, they were…it felt good. I'm excited to get into this storyline. So, is your matchup soon?"
He nodded, "Yea, in about a half hour. So, you doing anything after the show tonight?"
"Um, I don't think so. I was just going to head back to my room."
An unsatisfied look came over Randy's face "What? Oh come on! It's your first night back! You should celebrate a little!"
"I just don't really feel like going out to some huge club, let alone have to scream to talk to people. Though I love clubs, I'm just not feeling it tonight. Plus I didn't really pack clubbing clothes."
Randy rolled his eyes, "Wow the excuses! First, who said I was going to a club? And second, who said I was going to be with a huge group of people? I go to a club maybe twice a year."
"Ok, so what did you have in mind?"
Randy laughed, "Honestly, there is this dive bar down the road that has decent food. I was going to see if you wanted to join me for a bite and maybe a drink or two."
Trish thought about it for a minute, "Ok. I'll join you. My flight doesn't leave until around noon tomorrow anyway. Anyone else coming?"
Randy shook his head and smiled, "Nope, just you and me."
Trish returned the smile and noticed a warm inviting feeling coming from Randy. It was scary how much he'd changed.
"Ok, I'll wait outside your dressing room after your match. Good luck."
Randy smirked, "I don't need luck!"
She laughed, "See, you really haven't changed that much!"
While waiting for Randy, Trish was able to shower and get into some sort of order to go out in public. She picked up her phone to check for messages. She had really hoped that Ron had tried to call her but as there were no missed calls, she realized that he hadn't. She decided to give him a call before it got too late. After a few dial tones he answered the phone
"Hey you! How was your first night back officially?"
Trish was shocked. He obviously was not happy the other night about her contract, and now, he sounds like a completely different person.
"It went really good. The crowd was really into it. And I got to talk more with creative about the storyline. I think it's going to be a good one. How are things back home?"
"Things are good. Busy with work and such. A little dramatic too though…"
Trish frowned, "What drama? What happened?"
There was a slight hesitation on the other end of the phone, then Ron continued, "Well, you forgot to mention to me that you never mentioned your WWE return to your family. Your mom called earlier today and I accidentally let the cat out of the bag."
Trish cringed; she didn't think her mother would try the house number since she was away visiting some friends. She was planning on breaking the news when she got home. She thought she'd be safe since Smackdown doesn't air until Friday night.
"Yea, I didn't expect her to call. I was planning on telling them this weekend." She sighed, "I'll stop over and see her as soon as I land tomorrow."
"I'm really sorry Baby….I just assumed you would have said something." Ron said, feeling terrible for the slip up.
Trish shook her head, "No, it's not your fault. I should have said something. Anyway, my flight leaves at 12:10 tomorrow afternoon. I'll touch down in Toronto around 4 so I'll run by her place after that. I'm going to get going though honey. I'm trying to get out of here to grab a bite to eat before it get's too late."
"Ok," was his response, "Give me a call before your flight takes off tomorrow. Love you."
"Love you too", she said and hung up. That call went way better than I thought it was going to…
As she walked out of the divas locker room, she found Randy waiting.
"I was just coming to find you" she said.
He was leaning against the wall. He had jeans on with a worn black thermal shirt.
He smiled, "You women take forever I swear!"
He picked up her bag for her as they headed towards the arena exit.
"Shut up, don't give me any crap! It takes some time to look this good!"
He laughed, "Maybe for you it does…"
She slapped his arm and laughed. "So where's this bar at?"
