Ch 3
Randy waited for awhile at the bar for Katelyn to come back out before returning to his table. He didn't like the happy smile on Melina's face as he sat down alone.
"Still not winning Katelyn over with your terrific personality?" Melina asked making Randy slam the table.
"Maybe she is into women," Johnny said out of the blue making everyone stare. "All I'm saying is she did come with Trish and Mickie except for her brief dance with Edge we haven't seen her interacting with any men."
"I think you're wrong and she has someone waiting for her at home," Maryse said.
"Yeah right, if my girlfriend or wife looked like that I wouldn't let her go clubbing alone with all the scumbags in these places," Mike said looking over as Katelyn returned to her table whispering in Mickie's ear. Mickie's eyes grew wide as she listened. "I wonder what that is about."
"She probably just told Mickie that I made the mistake of cornering her near the ladies room," Randy rubbed his face in frustration not understanding why Katelyn wouldn't dance or spend any time with her without being hostile.
"Jackass move Randy! I would leave her alone for awhile before you drive her to leave. The club is open for another four hours so you still have plenty of time to win her over," Mike advised his friend. Randy nodded in agreement looking at Katelyn again wishing he could find the key to get her attention.
"As the time goes on, she'll get drunker and maybe more open to your advances," Johnny added.
"That could happen," Randy said taking a swig of his beer. He decided to leave her alone for the next hour giving her time to calm down.
The hour was ticking away very slowly for Randy. He looked at his watch again seeing only twenty eight minutes had passed. Katelyn and Mickie were still sitting at the table talking while Edge and Trish sat at the bar chatting.
"Hey look who's here? I guess Mickie called her man and he brought the others," Maryse pointed to Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase and Chris Jericho with his wife Kelly Kelly coming in the door. Ted went right to Mickie while the others looked around then headed towards Randy's table. Randy kept his eyes locked on Katelyn as the others passed her without even glancing in her direction.
"Hi guys, mind if we join you?" Chris asked.
"Not at all, there is plenty of room," Mike pulled Maryse onto his lap making her smile.
"This place is really crowded," Wade said sitting down next to Johnny.
"It's starting to die down some," Melina had noticed more and more people leaving.
"It looks like Edge and Trish are having fun," Kelly noticed the couple once again dancing together. "Anyone else hook up tonight?"
"Randy has tried but is failing miserably. Pretty soon he'll be out five hundred unless his luck changes which I don't see happening," Melina said making Randy glare at her again.
"What did you guys bet that much money on?" Chris sat down pulling Kelly onto his lap looking around the table.
"Johnny and Randy made a bet about Randy being able to go home with the next girl that walked in the door. That girl turned out to be her," Maryse pointed to Katelyn talking to Ted and Mickie. "Her name is Katelyn and she is friends with Trish and Mickie. So far she has blown off Randy every time he came near her. I think she is very close to kicking his ass or having security toss him."
"Thanks for giving them the play by play," Randy frowned hating that he was looking like an idiot.
"Why in the hell would you make a bet like that?" Cody asked shaking his head.
"He thinks he is God's gift to women and no one woman would turn him down," Melina answered fueling Randy's temper.
"Let's choose another woman I bet I could win her over. There is something wrong with Katelyn and I'm not losing money because of her being blind to what is standing in front of her," Randy ranted.
"We had a deal. You take her home or you pay up that's the bottom line," Johnny pointed at Randy.
"Why do you think there is something wrong with her?" Wade asked looking over at her.
"I tried to buy her a drink she said no. I tried to dance with her she pushed me away even though she was all over Edge two seconds before I asked her. I figured she was playing hard to get so I cornered her and she has the nerve to threaten that she will make me sorry if I keep bothering her," Randy let out a frustrated sigh. "That girl is nuts."
"Or I'm right and she likes women," Johnny said softly.
"Or maybe she saw right through Randy and knows he treats women like shit," Chris spoke up coming to Katelyn's defense.
"You think she would go for a different guy?" Wade asked looking around the group.
"Who in the hell knows?" Randy ran a hand through his hair.
"I say we find out. Let me get in on this bet and try to win her over. If I fail, I'll pay you both," Wade said leaning back in his chair.
"Come on Barrett, there is no way that beauty will go for you," Randy laughed.
"There is no harm in trying," Wade said watching Katelyn twirling her blonde hair between her fingertips as she talked.
"I say you take him up on the bet," Kelly urged Randy on.
"Fine, go ahead Barrett but when you fail there is no backing out of the bet," Randy exclaimed.
"I don't back out of bets," Wade reached for his wallet taking out the money handing it to Jericho. "Chris will hold onto to the money till this is settled."
"That works for me," Randy sat back looking forward to watching Wade fail miserably.
"Could you please deliver another daiquiri to the pretty woman in purple right there and let her know it's from me," Wade called the waitress over putting some money in her hand.
"Sure," the waitress smiled going to the bar.
"I already tried that she is going to refuse the drink or pay for it herself," Randy turned in his chair watching as the bartender handed the drink to the waitress.
"Excuse me miss, the gentleman at that table wanted me to give this to you," the waitress tapped Katelyn's shoulder pointing in the direction of Randy's table.
"Which guy?" Katelyn quickly asked seeing Randy was staring at her.
"The big guy dressed in the dark blue shirt and black jeans with the sexy British accent sent it. He is quite handsome. I wouldn't mind him buying me a drink," the waitress added pointing out Wade.
"Thanks," Katelyn said to the waitress taking the drink. Her eyes met Wade's as she smiled taking a sip.
"Damn, score one for Barrett," Johnny said making Randy groan.
"You going to go introduce yourself," Chris asked looking at Wade.
"Not yet," Wade said seeing Katelyn glance in his direction again. She stood up going over to Mickie whispering something in her ear. Mickie nodded her head a few times before Katelyn stepped away.
"Looks like she is coming to you," Kelly said motioning to Katelyn heading their way.
"Now she is going to tell you off," Randy smirked waiting for her to unleash on Wade.
"Randy, do you ever stop running your mouth?" Wade snapped standing up as Katelyn approached coming right to him.
"Hi, I'm Katelyn I wanted to come over and thank you for the drink," she smiled looking up into his sexy eyes.
"You're very welcome. I'm Wade and it's very nice to meet you," he took her hand kissing it lightly making Randy let out an aggravated noise.
"Would you like to join me?" Wade asked.
"Um I was really hoping you might like to dance," she softly said as Lifehouse's You and Me started to play.
"I'm not crazy about dancing," Wade looked away not liking the disappointment he saw in her eyes.
"Come on it's a slow song just follow my lead. I swear as soon as the music speeds up we can leave the floor," Katelyn smiled taking his hand making him look at her again. He stared at her for a long moment.
"Barrett, I can't believe you're making her wait. Get out there," Chris gently pushed his friend.
"I'll dance with you," Randy interrupted making Katelyn move closer to Wade.
"Stay in your seat Orton," he shot Randy a look before leading Katelyn to the dance floor.
"Thank you. I couldn't handle much more of Randy's advances. I've already slapped him and he hasn't gotten the hint," she said as Wade put his arm around her waist drawing her closer.
"It will take more than a slap to get your point through his thick skull," he said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Let's just forget about him for now," she smiled resting her head against Wade's chest. He held her closer moving in time with her to the music.
"What the hell are they doing?" Randy yelled pointing at the couple.
"Umm it called slow dancing dumbass," Cody said shaking his head.
"No shit, but why is she dancing like that with him? She wouldn't even fast dance with me," Randy ran a hand through his hair. He tried to look away but he couldn't stop staring at them.
"Dude, you need to chill out. She obviously isn't interested in you so just give up and pay up," Mike said refueling Randy's fire.
"The night isn't over yet," Randy fired back trying to think of a way to win Katelyn over or at least destroy Wade's chances with her.
"Whatever you're thinking Randy forget it, you lost," Chris pointed to dance floor as Katelyn looked up at Wade caressing his cheek. "She has taken a liking to him."
"What is there not to like? He is a handsome guy with an amazing body and his accent just completes the package," Melina said making Johnny make a disgusted noise. "Baby, he's not as adorable as you."
"He is an ass," Randy groaned.
"Well that ass is about to win the bet," Kelly smirked making another dig at Randy.
Randy was about to respond then decided not to. He left the table going to the edge of the dancing floor watching the couple. He hated the way Katelyn smiled when Wade leaned down whispering something in her ear. Wade lifted his head back up only to have Katelyn motion for him to lean down again whispering again in his ear.
"What is she saying?" Randy said under his breath. After the song ended, Wade took her hand leading her back to the table avoiding Randy. Randy stomped after them determined to not lose.
"Katelyn, you can have my seat I'll grab a chair," Cody said as they approached.
"Relax Cody, she has somewhere to sit," Wade sat down pulling her onto his lap.
"You're unreal, I love a good game but this is ridiculous" Randy blurted out glaring at Katelyn.
"Excuse me," Katelyn gave him an icy stare.
"You flip out for me touching but you sit down on his lap with no problems. This playing hard to get game is bullshit," Randy flopped down in his seat.
"I told you before I'm not playing a game. I don't want you anywhere near me," her tone was dead serious.
"But you want him right?" Randy asked making her blush and look at Wade.
"Just drop it Randy," Wade put his arm around her.
"I can't believe this," Randy cursed under his breathe.
"You got a problem Orton," Jericho glared at him making Randy swallow hard.
"No," Randy quickly said motioning to the waitress.
"What can I get you?" the waitress hurried to their table.
"I'll have a long island ice tea, make it two please," Randy felt the need to get loaded.
"Could you also bring a bottle of tequila, a salt shaker, and some limes," Melina asked making Johnny smile happily. The waitress took the order and headed on her way.
"Sounds like we are about to have some fun," Johnny said putting his arm around Melina.
"There is too much tension around here. We need to get rid of it," Melina glanced over at Randy. Randy gave her a wicked stare before turning his attention to Katelyn whispering something in Wade's ear. Whatever she was saying had put a smile on his face. Wade gently cupped her face in his hand whispering in her ear. Katelyn's eyes lit up with delight.
"It's pretty rude to be whispering like that," Randy spoke up making Wade pull away from Katelyn staring Randy down.
"Orton, you're really being a pain. What the hell is up your ass?" he asked as Katelyn rested her head on his shoulder.
"Nothing, just forget it," Randy backed down not wanting to end up in a brawl with Wade.
"Here you go," the waitress came back serving their order. Randy picked up his drink taking a long swig hoping the alcohol would settle his nerves.
"I'll be right back," Katelyn excused herself heading towards Trish and Edge. Wade watched her go smiling when she turned waving at him.
"Do you want the money now?" Melina asked Wade throwing Randy into a rage.
"Damn it, he hasn't won yet. I still have time," Randy exclaimed.
"Are you blind? She is shooting daggers in your direction but she gives him that I like to get know you better look," Cody spoke up.
"I'm not giving up," Randy stared Wade down. Wade casually took a sip of his beer shrugging his shoulders not giving a damn what Orton was running his mouth about.
"Whatever I'm having some fun," Mike grabbed a shot glass handing it to Maryse.
"That is a brilliant plan," Johnny handed a lime to Melina.
Randy ignored the two couples doing body shots keeping his eyes locked on Katelyn. She finished her conversation with Edge and Trish then headed back to the table. Wade pushed back his chair giving her an inviting smile as she neared. She sat back down on his lap. He wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her close. Katelyn looked up into his eyes for a moment before Melina started laughing as Johnny kissed her taking the lime from her.
"You want to do a shot?" Melina asked pushing a shot glass in Katelyn's direction.
"Um," she nervously smiled looking at Wade for a reaction.
"I'll do one with you," Randy reached for a lime.
"No thanks," Katelyn shook her head no. "Wade, is it ok with you?"
"Sure darling," he grinned making her happily smile. The table grew very silent as Melina poured the tequila handing the glass to Wade.
"You ready big guy?" Katelyn asked softly as he nodded yes. He picked up the lime putting it in his mouth.
"Come on stop hesitating and get to licking," Melina blurted out making Johnny turn red with embarrassment. Katelyn blushed looking up into to Wade's eyes before slowly licking his neck. She smiled sprinkling the salt before licking him again. He handed her the shot watching with amusement as she downed it. She hesitated for a moment before leaning close to him and biting the lime sending bitter juices down her throat. Her lips brushed against his as she took the lime from his mouth. Randy watched the exchange in disgust not believing the luck Wade was having.
"It's your turn Barrett," Maryse pushed the bottle back in his direction. He looked at Katelyn seeing a smile form on her lips knowing she was fine with it.
"Katelyn, will you do a shot with me next?" Randy asked her as she handed Wade the salt shaker.
"I said no before Randy and I meant it. Go ask someone else," she frowned.
"Damn it just got icy in here," Cody chuckled.
"Leave her alone Orton," Wade gave him a warning look. "Where were we?" he smiled at Katelyn caressing her cheek putting the lime in her mouth. Her pulse quickened as he brushed her hair away from her neck. He leaned towards her neck then suddenly pulled her back slightly licking along the top of her right breast. Randy's mouth flew open not believing what he saw. Katelyn turned a bright rosy red as Wade looked up into her eyes sprinkling the salt then leaning down let his tongue glide along her warm skin. She was captivated by him as he took the shot then pulled her closer sucking the lime from her mouth. He held it for a moment before letting it drop kissing her passionately. The others at the table stared in disbelief.
"What the hell are you doing?" Randy blurted out making Katelyn pull away from Wade.
"Excuse me," Katelyn gave him an icy stare.
"How dare you kiss him? How twisted of a game do you want to play?" Randy hit the table in frustration.
"I told you before I'm not playing a game," her tone was dead serious.
"Did you ask him the questions you asked me?" Randy wouldn't let the issue drop.
"What questions?" Wade asked caressing her arm.
"She asked how many girlfriends I had in the last year and what was my longest relationship," Randy answered before she could.
"Well those are easy to answer. I have had one girlfriend. As far as longest relationship I hate to count my failed marriage but that was three years of wasted time since my divorce the longest has been two years," Wade said making a sour face having to even utter a word about his past marriage.
"Did you hear that Katelyn he was married before?" Randy continued to lay into her as the others at the table silently watched captivated by the exchange.
"He isn't married now," she paused for a moment glancing back at Wade again as he drank his beer winking at her. "So what's the issue?"
"The issue is you're a tease and a bitch," Randy exclaimed making her jump slightly.
"Don't you dare talk to her like that?" Wade responded taking Randy by surprise. "You want to know what the issue truly is."
"Enlighten me," Randy didn't back down.
"It's fucked up when Katelyn decides to go out for some fun with her friends and she doesn't even get to have one drink before a loser decides to hit on a beautiful girl alone…" Wade couldn't finish his sentence as Randy made a loud huff interrupting him.
"How in the hell did you know she came in alone you weren't …."
"Shut up!" Wade roared stopping Randy's rant. "She shoots you down so you continue to harass her to the point you have the balls to lay your hands on her. That moment terrifies her enough that she makes a call to her man. You can not imagine the ache that goes through a man's heart hearing the love of his life is upset and needs me to come right away to deal with a pathetic loser who can't get the hint to back off," Wade paused seeing Randy turn very pale and his mouth drop open. "That's right jackass I'm the one she called and I know everything you did to my girlfriend!"
