A/N So a Randy/Raven chapter since we ain't had one of those lately, then straight back to Jamie! Onwards we go!

Chapter 40 Call me old-fashioned

After a very active day and a night that just wouldn't end, Raven settled onto the hotel room bed, ready to play some old school video games, she loved video games, she was a nerd like that. Girls her age (apparently) weren't meant to like video games and wrestling, she had no idea what she was meant to like given her age, but from she had heard, girls her age went to parties, got really pissed and fucked random guys and wound up getting pregnant, well no thank you, Raven would gladly take her video games and nerd title if being a drunken pregnant mess was the other option, being a nerd was always better. She put in her headphones and cranked up Hollywood Undead, the six white guys in masks were currently her third favourite band, she couldn't get enough of them. Neither would the people next door because it wouldn't take long for her to start singing really really loudly. Raven made herself comfy, ready for a long night of Gain Ground, it was such a simple game that it was perfect for relaxing, all you had to do was shoot the enemies and get to the exit. She could do it with her silver eyes shut. Halfway through her game her phone started to vibrate, luckily it was on her so she could feel it, she wouldn't of heard it otherwise. Given the very loud music. A little frustrated at its rude interruption, she paused her game and flicked up the lid.

"What? This better be about Gain Ground"

"It isn't, should I ring back later?"

"Randy? Well this is a surprise" Raven found herself smiling, she would be lying if she said she wasn't hoping that he would call, all her hoping had done nothing so far but now apparently it worked, she couldn't of been happier.

"I made a promise to ring you, so here I am, ringing you, feeling really nervous right now"

She laughed at his nervous babble, it was comforting in a way, it only cemented that she was right, he was human just like she was. "No need to be nervous Randy, so how are you?"

"Good, a little sore but other wise good, and yourself?"

"Can't complain, back is a little sore but I guess thats my fault with all the bending over"

Randy snorted with laughter, he didn't mean too but that sentence did sound very dodgy. "Bending over alot would do that Raven"

"Yeah I know but I can't help it, and I just realised how that sounded, it wasn't that kind of bending over at least I hoped it wasn't, memory is kinda hazy due to one too many headshots"

Randy let out a laugh before letting the nerves come back, "Uh Raven, I was wondering, if you not too busy, maybe you and I could go to the same place, at the same time and...damnit! You would think this would get easier over time"

Raven let a smile come to her face "You're asking me out to dinner?"

"Yeah, stupid idea, I know I shouldn't of said anything"

"No, don't say that Randy. I would love to have dinner with you, when were you thinkin?"

"Um...I'm free now if you are"

Raven looked to her watch, it was still early enough for some dinner and she was getting hungry again. "Uh sure, I could always do with a third dinner"

"Cool, which room are you in, I'll pick you up"

"Room thirteen,"

"I'll see you in ten"

Ten minutes later her door was rattling with life, she hoped what she was wearing was fine, Raven didn't understand the concept of dressing up, ok she got it she just didn't like doing it. It was only a funeral or wedding that she would put effort in, so Randy would have to deal with her black hipster jeans, silver skull chain and black hoodie, at least she had the hood down, usually it was up making her look like some sort of thug, not that she usually cared. Raven was relieved to find that he hadn't overly dressed either, a nice pair of jeans and polo shirt, he had never looked so good. He offered her his huge arm making her smile, gentleman were very few in this generation, it was the only thing she envied about her great grandmothers generation, back then there were nothing but gentleman, but as she took Randy's arm she knew that chilvary was alive and kicking.

They took a seat at the nearest restuarant and waited for a waitress to attend to them, Randy couldn't stop his eyes looking her over, even though she was covered up she was still a beauty. It wasn't just a physical attraction, she was exactly how Jamie described her, she was a super woman, something about her made you like her, it was just something, something that he couldn't fathom or even understand.

"Alright what can I get you?" The perky brunette waitress asked, her eyes lighting up at Randy. She never imagined that Randy Orton would be sitting there in her diner. Like most women she hoped the young girl with him was a sister or some relative.

"I'll have a chicken burger and fat extra saulty fries"

"And for you?" The brunette looked to Raven, trying to remember that she had to be nice.

"Um" Raven scoured the menu for something, anything to eat. "Oooh Trifle, can I get that without custard? Custard causes me to die"

She noted it down and gave them smile before heading back to fill the orders. Raven let out a chuckle, "Looks like every woman wants a bit of Randy Orton"

"What?"

"She was lookin at you, hoping I was a sister or some other relative"

"How can you tell that?"

Raven let out a shrug, "Cause if I was her, I'd be thinkin the same thing, only knowing me I would drip bacon fat on her, accidentally of course"

Randy laughed as the waitress returned with their food, "Thank you"

"Thanking you very much"

She gave Randy a heated grin before walking away, "She likes you Randy"

He couldn't help it, the cold sarcasm in his slow clapping made Raven smile. "Yay!" Randy picked at his fries "So whats with the trifle?"

"Only thing I could eat thats on the menu, and whats with the fatty food? Shouldn't you be ignoring carbs?"

"Carbs aren't the enemy Raven, apparently the enemy is the Shield"

"Yes but dieticians recommend that you don't eat the Shield"

"So that's why I gained like four pounds and Dean Ambrose was reported missing."

Raven laughed dropping a spoonful of trifle on her plate, "Four pounds? He's a small fucker"

Randy thoroughly enjoyed the rest of his meal, simple talking and relaxing had never felt so good, he was used to the game, used to being 'on' He had no reason to be on with her, she simply liked sitting there with him, talking about little bits and peices. He even let bits of himself come to light, she listened patiently offering her thoughts and comfort where needed, for the first time in ever, Randy truely felt that someone was actually listening and not just pretending too. She talked a little about herself, he liked hearing it and he was shocked that soon after the meal and he was walking her back, that he still remembered what she had told him. It was sticking in his brain, facts about a woman rarely stuck to his memory.

He stopped outside her door, "I had a good time Raven"

"So did I. Better than video games by a long shot"

Randy let out a soft chuckle, "I'm glad that I can at least beat video games" He lent down and kissed her cheek.

"Would you like to come in? Coffee maybe?"

"I would love too. But I'm not going too. I have an old fashioned streak in me I guess"

"And yet another reason I like you" Raven slipped her hand into his "Can I at least have a kiss goodnight?"

"Of course" He took her face and kissed her gently, drawing a slight grunt of joy from her lips. Her lips tasted sweet and devious, it was a taste he needed to have more of. When he pulled away, he was a little breathless, he had second thoughts about not coming in. Raven blushed slightly, "Goodnight Randy, I had alot of fun"

"We have to do it again"

"Don't be a stranger Randy"

He gave her another long kiss, trying to still his beating heart, he never knew something this innocent could be that sweet. "I won't. Goodnight Raven"
