Randy Orton signed the final paper and placed the pen on the desk. There it was...he was officially divorced. This was a situation that he never thought he would be going though. When he got married to Samantha years ago, he was sure that they were going to be together forever. That feeling was even stronger when they had their daughter Alanna. Apparently Randy was wrong because there he was, finishing up the final papers of his divorce, which just got finalized and became official.
He wasn't too sure what had happened towards the end of his marriage. All he knew was that he and Samantha grew apart. He didn't know how it happened but it just did. He had to admit to himself that he wasn't happy with her anymore. The only thing that kept his around for as long as he did, was his daughter. After awhile, he just couldn't do it anymore. He was miserable and it was starting to interfere in his in ring performance when he wrestled. It was bad so he knew he had to get out soon.
Fortunately for him, Samantha didn't hesitate to sign the divorce papers. She was just as miserable as he was and was only around for the same reason. Their daughter. They both hated that they were putting their young daughter through something so difficult. It was difficult for any child to see their parents divorce; whether they were 5 or 30 years old. Since Alanna was 5, they knew it was going to be even harder for her to understand. They had told her briefly what was going on but didn't get much into it.
Randy excited the court-house and entered the rental car that he was driving. Monday Night RAW was there in St. Louis so he just needed to drive there. He was relieved because he was not in the mood to fly. He turned on the car and started driving off to the arena where the show was going to be held at. He was so glad that they had a show that night because he needed to clear his mind. The only thing that would let him do that was wrestling. Wrestling saved him from tough situations so he was very blessed to be part of WWE. Soon enough, he arrived at the arena. He grabbed his bags and headed inside.
As soon as he stepped in, people where giving sympathy looks and others were mumbling that they were sorry. Randy knew that the news of his divorce ran not only through the news but also through the WWE locker room. He hoped that no one would try to have a conversation with him about it because he would probably snap at them, with having every right to. He walked around and was trying looking for something...or rather someone. Someone that probably was a portion of the reason why Randy didn't want to be with his wife anymore.
He decided to take his bags to the locker room first and then go find that person that he had been keeping an eye for months. As he entered the locker room, he was relieved when he only saw CM Punk and John Cena. He knew Punk wouldn't ask him anything because Punk was a private person himself and never questioned anybody elses personal life. John was one of his best friends and he was glad that John was the most understanding friends that he had. John never pressed and issue when Randy didn't want to talk to him and Randy was sure this would be no exception.
He went over to his spot and settled his bags down. He was about to walk out but John stopped him of course. John wouldn't let him leave until he asked him if he was okay.
"You alright man?" John asked and clapped his large hand on Randy's shoulder, shaking it lightly.
"I'll be fine. It was a mutual thing you know. I'm just worried about Alanna. Hopefully between the custody plan and my traveling, I get to see her as much as possible.
"Yeah, well at least Sam isn't denying you to see her right?"
"No she isn't. How fucking grateful I am for that...anyways, I gotta go. I need to go find someone." Randy said and John nodded.
As Randy walked through the halls, he looked everywhere. He was getting annoyed that he couldn't find her. He needed someone to calm his nerves and she always did that without even trying. He hesitated but eventually decided to head to the divas locker room. He knocked on the door and AJ answered.
"Hey Randy...umm sorry about you know what. Anyways, do you need something?" AJ said as she hurried her words like always.
"Umm, is Eve in there? I've been trying to find her everywhere but I can't spot her."
"Yeah she's in here. Hold on a sec." AJ closed the door and went to tell Eve that Randy was looking for her.
Eve smiled when she heard that Randy was looking for her. She loved talking to him and she always enjoyed his company. She bounced off the chair she was sitting on and headed towards the door with a huge mild smile on her face. She remembered that Randy's divorce was finalized today and she hoped that he wasn't too hurt over it. Eve didn't like seeing him miserable. She opened the door and stepped out. She saw him standing there with a smile on his face.
"Hey Randy." Eve said and hugged him.
Randy wrapped his arms around her frame and hugged her back. He got the chance to inhale the scent of her hair before saying hi back. Fuck, he loved the scent of her hair and her overall scent that he knew so well. They pulled apart and smiled at each other.
"Are you ok?" Eve asked concerned.
"Let's go to catering and talk yeah?" Randy asked and Eve nodded.
They walked over to catering and grabbed some fruit before sitting a table that was a little farther away from the others.
"You didn't answer my question Randy. Are you ok?" Eve asked again as she bit into a strawberry.
Randy looked Eve in the eye. "I'm fine. It was a mutual feeling. I wasn't happy with her anymore. I wasn't happy with her for months now. Only reason I stayed was for my daughter and that made things worse."
"Yeah...poor Alanna but believe it or not, it's actually a good thing that she is small. She going to get use to the fact that you guys aren't together and once she grows up, you won't have to explain much."
"I never really thought of it that way. Maybe you're right." Randy said truthfully. Eve always had the best opinions and that was one of the reasons why he loved talking to her. Besides the fact that she was fun, beautiful, she was also smart. Randy loved that and valued every single one of her opinions.
Eve smiled when she saw Randy in deep thought. Eve would be lying if she didn't think he looked cute when he was thinking. Eve would never admit it to him, but Eve had always liked Randy as more of a friend. She loved everything about him. He could be funny but serious at the same time. He always put her in a good mood and he always kept a smile plastered on her face. You would think that now that Randy was divorced and single, she would go for it but didn't want to. Even though Randy assured her that he was ok and that the decision of divorce was mutual, she didn't want to be a rebound for Randy. She had no doubt that he was somewhat miserable and he was worried about his daughter's sake. Nothing could happen between them...atleast not anytime soon.
"What are you thinking about?" Eve asked and pulled Randy out his thoughts.
"You." Randy answered honestly.
"Me?"
"Yup." Randy answered simply.
"Good things I'm hoping?" Eve said and laughed nervously.
"Always." Randy responded and smiled when he saw Eve blushing at his response.
After the show was over. Randy walked Eve over to her rental car.
"Thanks for waking me Randy." Eve placed her things in the trunk and walked over to the driver's door.
"No problem." Randy answered and cupped her cheek.
Eve looked down shy like. "So I'll see you over at Smackdown?"
Randy only nodded and stepped closer to her, still cupping her cheek. He leaned forward and pressed his lips on her. As soon as their lips touched, Eve pulled away against her will.
"Randy, no." Eve sighed.
"What? Don't you want this too? I know you do." Randy whispered as he kept his lips close to hers.
"I-I do but you just got a d-divorce." Eve stuttered.
"So? I already told you I'm fine and that it was-"
"But still Randy. I don't want to just be a rebound girl." Eve cut him off.
"You're not." Randy said sternly.
"Well it feels like it. Your divorce barely got finalized today and you're already kissing me." Eve shook her head.
Randy nodded. He understood where Eve was coming from. He knew in his heart that he wanted something serious with Eve. He's been wanting that for months. Even though Randy was set on what he wanted, he didn't want to pressure Eve into anything. Ironically, Randy would give her time. And in that time, he would do nothing but prove to her that he is serious about her.
"Look, Eve I understand. I won't pressure you into anything. Just know that I have wanted something serious with you for a long time now. If you don't believe me that's fine. At least give me a chance to prove to you that this is real and that you're not a rebound. Please, just let me." Randy pleaded and pecked Eve's lips quickly.
Eve thought about it while she looked straight at Randy's blue eyes. How could she say no to him? She couldn't. "Fine."
