Chapter 4 - Date Night
Kate was excited and nervous for her date with Ted tonight after Raw. Ted and Kate talked all week but he wouldn't tell her where they were going, so she really didn't know what to wear. So she chose something cute but simple, white tank top and a black pair of pants.
Kate was finishing up at the computer when Ted came in.
Ted: Hey Sweet Heart are you ready?
Kate: Yeah.
Kate smiled and grabbed her stuff as they headed out to the car they were stopped by Randy and Cody.
Randy: Hey Ted , Cody and I are gonna go grab some dinner care to join us.
Ted smiled as he grabbed Kate's hand: Not tonight Randy, Kate and I have a date.
Randy: Well she can come too.
Ted looked at Kate and then back at Randy.
Ted: Do you want to go with the guys?
Kate: It's your call Ted?
Ted smiled: Maybe another time.
Then Ted and Kate walked out to the car and headed to the surprise location. Which was a local Wal-Mart.
Kate laughed: So this is our date?
Ted: Yeah, well it's late and I hear this store has everything.
Kate smiled as they went inside and walked around a bit before they grabbed some food. Then checked out as they headed back to the car Ted softly grabbed her hand. Ted and Kate were sitting in the parking lot eating and talking, while listening to the radio.
Kate smiled: This is not what I expected.
Ted: Really and what did you expect?
Kate laughed: I guess ... I am not really sure.
Ted laughed: Kate you are something else. I really like you.
Kate: I like you too Ted, I can't believe that I am sitting here eating a lunchable with the son of the million dollar man. (There was a moment of silence) I guess you get that a lot huh.
Ted: All the time actually.
Kate: Does it bother you?
Ted: I am just used to it. But I just want people to know that I am my own person. If that makes any sense.
Kate: Makes sense to me.
Ted: Why did you want to work for the WWE?
Kate: It's been my dream since I was a kid, not really to wrestle but to be a part of the action. To write about it and maybe even be a commentator some day, even just interview super stars back stage is pretty cool. So when this internship came up I applied and thought what the hell.
Ted smiled: Well I am glad you're here.
Kate smiled: I know I am pretty cool!
They both laughed , They talked a little more, even if it wasn't a fancy date, it was a really fun night.
Ted looked at Kate and pulled her into a kiss. Kate smiled and gladly returned his kiss.
Kate's POV: I like Ted and he is a good kisser, but there is just something missing. If that makes sense , I guess my hearts just not in to. Which stinks because he is hot and I could really see myself dating him. But there is just something missing. It just didn't feel right.
Over the next few weeks Kate began to hang out with Ted, Cody and Randy a bit more, however there was just a friendship relationship between her and Ted. Kate had noticed that since her and Ted decided to be just friends, Randy bumped up his flirting. Kate even met Ted's dad when he was the guest host on Monday Night Raw.
Monday Night Raw: Kate couldn't believe that she met Ted's dad he was actually a lot nicer than most people had said he would be. Tonight he was the guest host of Monday Night Raw.
Ben: It is true Kate?
Kate looked at Ben a little funny she wasn't really sure what he was talking about.
Kate: What are you talking about?
Ben: That you met the Million Dollar Man?
Kate: Yeah Ted introduced me. He's a really nice guy.
Shelly who was another writer: Must be nice to get all the perks, but when you start sleeping with the talent its to be expected.
Kate: Excuse me? What did you just say?
Shelly: You heard me, you've spent a lot of time with Legacy lately and I heard that Vince might let you do some on camera work. So like I said sleep with the talent get the perks.
Kate was pissed and she went after Shelly, Ben was shocked Kate was usually a shy reserved person.
He was trying to separate them, when another large man came into the room and pulled Kate away. He carried her out into the hall way. Kate didn't notice that it was Randy Orton.
Kate: Put me down.
Randy: Will you calm down.
Kate: Yeah.
Randy put her down: Are you alright? Kate this doesn't seem like you fighting with co-workers is more my thing.
Kate: Well when you call me a slut I get pissed.
Randy: What?
Kate: Shelly said that I get all the perks because apparently I am sleeping with the talent. That is a load of shit, I bust my ass around here just like everyone else.
Randy smiled and couldn't help but laugh.
Kate: Randal Keith Orton it's not funny.
Randy smiled: It's a little funny.
Kate started laughing: Alright it's a little funny.
Randy: Look don't worry about what other people think, hell I don't!
Kate: Did you know about the on camera work?
Randy: Yeah I asked Vince to give you a shock at interviews.
Kate: Why?
Randy: Because your talent is being wasted back here in this writers room.
Kate: Well thank you.
Randy smirked: Vince didn't say yes ... yet!
Randy pulled Kate into a hug and she laid her head on his chest, she felt butterfly's in her stomach. She was totally crushing on the Legend Killer.
That night was the end of the night of champions tournament, John Cena and Triple H were fighting and the winner would be facing Randy Orton in a few weeks at Night of Champions. Kate watched on - when Ted and Cody interrupted the match. Randy stood on the stage.
Randy: This match is a double disqualification which means there is no winner. Which means I wont be facing either of you at Night of Champions.
Then Ted DiBiase's music began to play.
Ted: Randy you say that neither one of these men won, well I say neither of them lost. So here it is at the Night of Champions you'll defend you WWE Championship in a tripe threat match.
Kate couldn't help but smile, she didn't see that coming, a triple threat match, although she couldn't stop thinking about how hot Randy was looking on stage in that moment. She liked Ted but there was just something about Randy that she was drawn too. She was snapped back into reality when Ben called her name.
Ben: Kate can I talk to you?
Kate: Yeah, look I am sorry about the thing with Shelly. But she had no right to call me out like that.
Ben: Agreed, but see it from her point of view she has worked here for two years and hasn't been offered a TV spot.
Kate: I wasn't offered one yet either, Randy said that Vince didn't say yes.
Ben: Right, but what Randy wants he gets, everyone knows that. Kate I don't know if you realize this but he has his eye on you.
Kate: No he doesn't we're just friends, we hang out but I hang out with all the super stars.
Ben let out a sign: Kate have you noticed that your really the only journalist that hangs out with the superstars.
Kate: That's not my fault.
Ben: Kate I'm not blaming you, I am just saying that Shelly has a point.
Kate: So what? I'm not suppose to hang out with my friends?
Ben: Kate?
She was mad and just walked away. Kate was pacing she knew that Ben had a point but she really liked hanging out with her new friends. Randy was coming out of his locker room when he noticed that Kate looked a little upset.
Randy: Hey Kate are you ok?
Kate: Yeah I'm fine.
Randy: Still up set about the whole thing from earlier?
Kate: That and other things, apparently they are just mad because I get to hang out with you.
Randy: I know I'm awesome.
Kate: So you're the Miz now?
Randy smiled: Are you hungry?
Kate smiled: Yeah I could eat.
Randy: Go grab your stuff, dinners on me.
Kate: Randy are you sure?
Randy: Get your stuff so we can get the hell out of here would ya.
Kate smiled and rushed into the writers room Ben just stood there along with Shelly and watched as she left the room with her stuff. Randy softly put his arm around Kate as they left the building.
Randy took Kate to a Denny's it was just the two of them and they couldn't believe that they sat there all night talking about each other, not even about wrestling about everything else, about their hopes and dreams of the future. It was early morning and the sun was starting to come up, they sat in the car and watched the sun come up.
Randy couldn't help but stare at Kate, she was so beautiful and amazing. Randy turned to Kate as their eyes met there was so much passion between them he slowly placed his hand on her cheek and put a stray piece of hair behind her ear. He leaned in and gave her a passionate kiss, Kate was shocked but she smiled and gladly returned.
