"And the Apex Predator slithers into a cover for the three count! 1...2...3!" The bell rang signifying that 'The Viper,' Randy Orton had won yet another match against his rival Alberto Del Rio.

Everyone knew Randy. Many were captivated by his smooth in-ring skills and his suave posture that left millions of girls breathless. He wasn't a man of many words, normally quiet and to himself. His in-ring work did the talking for him. Not many of his co-workers knew about him, except for his closest friends John and Hunter, but it didn't mean people still didn't try to get into the mind of 'The Viper.'

Backstage, Superstars and Diva's were either running around to leave the arena as soon as the show was over, not wanting to waste any minutes and give them less time to go out, have a few drinks then hitch a taxi back to their hotel room and catch some z's or watching the event unfold on their screens as they sat in their locker rooms.

Two Diva's in particular were watching the main event on the television situated in their dressing room; AJ and Nelly. Nelly was a new diva that hadn't even been involved in a storyline yet. AJ was caught up in a storyline with Vickie, Dolph and none other than John Cena. The two had been best friends since they could remember. Cue the cliché back-story about how both of them wanted to be WWE superstars since they were little youngsters, watching their favorite Superstars and Diva's wrestling on television and dreaming that someday it'd be them. And that was pretty much how it went. Except, Nelly always seemed to have the good life; a family that cared for her and that never seemed to have trouble making it by. AJ on the other hand, always had family trouble and grew up with nothing. And wrestling was how the two girls bonded. Together, they stuck up for each other when bullies made fun of them about liking the sport, sometimes even starting fights and throwing hip tosses to the ones that really hit a soft spot.

"My God April, do you see him?" Nelly cooed to her best friend, a moonstruck look in her eyes.

"Yes, Nelly, I see him." AJ sighed in response, tired of her friend's constant comments on 'The Viper.' Nelly's eyes moved from the television and to AJ.

"Don't give me that sigh. I know that sigh. I'm just saying that he's amazing at what he does." Nelly retorted, crossing her arms over her chest as she leaned back in the folding chair in the locker room.

"Yeah, I'm sure that's all you're saying." She joked back to her friend.

"You're getting sassy on me again, April." Nelly teased in return.

"I'm sorry, Nel. But how many times do I have to tell you to keep that attraction you have drawn on him to yourself. He's..different than most guys here." AJ tried to explain again.

"I know you've told me, but was I ever one to listen?"

AJ shook her head as she stood up and folded the chair she was sitting on, putting it against the wall. "Right, well I'm gonna go find a few of the girls that are going out tonight. You sure you don't want to come?"

"No, go ahead, April. I'm gonna hang back tonight." Nelly smiled to her friend, standing up to do the same with her chair.

"See you back at the hotel then." AJ spoke, waving to Nelly before she walked out of the locker room.

"Have fun!" Called the small blonde.

Eleanor 'Nelly' Davis had a strange attraction to Orton ever since he started. Like most women, she was captivated by his suaveness and the way he held himself. She was always lured to the bad boy type, and Randy sure fit that category. With his mysterious tattoo's and his cocky attitude, Nelly couldn't help but want to be closer to him.

Unfortunately, Nelly wasn't as energetic as her friend AJ. She never knew how to throw herself out there and be upfront with anyone. In fact, if it wasn't for AJ, she probably wouldn't have even been able to being living out her dream as a WWE superstar.

She had no intention of throwing her feelings out there to anyone else but AJ. For one, it'd be incredibly creepy and unprofessional, she worked with the guy now. And two, he was married and she would never dream of over-stepping that boundary.

She packed up her things that had been lying around from the show and stowed it away into her bag. She then picked it up and slung it over her shoulder, walking out into the main area, pushed her hair over her shoulder. Her eyes stayed to the ground as she walked through the empty halls, most of her co-workers now long gone, enjoying the rest of their nights. The only ones left were the crew that had devoted all their time to setting up the stage, and then hours later taking it all down just to do it again the next night.

As she lifted her head, she waved to one of the crew members and offered a 'goodnight' to him before walking out of the arena and heading towards the rental car. Pushing open the doors that led to the parking lot, she nearly stumbled over herself as her bag that probably weighed more than she tipped her left shoulder down, her balance off. She pulled the bag back over her shoulder, only to continue struggling on her walk to the car.

She froze in her spot as she a hand brush across her side and grab the bag off her shoulder. Her first instinct was to grab the bag and prepare for a fight until she turned her head and looked up into the eyes of the predator, Randy Orton.

"Oh, thank you." She murmured to him, her cheeks flushing a bright red, thankfully hidden in the darkness of the night. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she stared up to the man she had been lustful towards for the past couple of years.

"You're welcome." His smooth voice filled her ears, desire filling her just from the delightful sound. "Where are you parked?" He queried, her thoughts being interrupted.

"Oh, right. Sorry." She breathed out, walking quicker and much easier to her rental car, opening the back door where she normally threw her bag. He followed behind her and tossed the bag into the back.

"Thanks again," She proffered, shutting the door.

Randy simply nodded to her in response, lifting a hand to her in a wave, "Goodnight." He parted with, turning on his heels to walk to his own car.

"Goodnight." She whispered in return, her heart rate continuously speeding up as she climbed into the car and started it up, setting her hands on the steering wheel.

Letting out a deep breath she didn't know she was holding, she started her drive to the hotel, reaching to grab her phone off the dash and calling her best friend.

"Hello?" Came a voice from the opposite end.

"AJ!" Nelly called, putting her phone on speaker and dropping it into her lap, "You'll never guess what just happened, I'm freaking out." She rambled.

"What?" AJ laughed, the sound of cluttered conversations in the background.

"I was leaving the arena, carrying out that heavy ass bag and from behind me I felt someone grabbing my bag. So I was ready to get defensive and all, but I looked up and it was Randy taking the bag from me." She spoke quickly, the happiness evident in her voice, along with the loss of breath.

"Did you guys talk?" Her friend questioned.

"I mean, I said 'thank you' and then he said, 'you're welcome.'" Nelly murmured to her.

"That was it?"

"Well I thanked him again and then he said 'goodnight.'" She added as if it was such a big deal.

"Wow, you really got far." AJ joked.

"Alright, sassy April. This means I'm not invisible to him!" Nelly squeaked, pulling into a parking spot at the hotel, climbing out of the car and locking it.

"Nel, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but you're going to be after tonight. It's not like he's going to come to you tomorrow and act like the two of you are best friends. It was a nice gesture. He was being a gentleman." AJ pointed out to her friend.

"Bubble is burst, A's." She conceded.

"I'm sorry, Nel. I just don't want you to get your hopes up. He's not a guy that you can go for, or a guy that you should go for. He's trouble." AJ insisted.

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Nelly sighed, walking into the hotel and pulling her room key from her pocket. "Listen, I'll see you tomorrow. I'm going to go to my room, shower and sleep."

"Alright, Nelly. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, A's. And don't drink too much! We have a run to go on tomorrow." She reminded her friend with a smile, entering the elevator and pressing the button to her floor.

"Mhm, yeah." She responded, Nelly could practically hear the smirk on her face.

The two hung up and Nelly left the elevator and went to her room, taking a shower like she had said. The thought of Randy still in her head.

Sure it was only a bag and he was only being nice, but it could mean something, right? Maybe he would talk to her tomorrow. She couldn't help but sigh as she shut the water off and wrapped the towel around her body.

As much as she knew she shouldn't want to have anything to do with him, she couldn't help it. And although she knew it was just always going to be a crush and she'd move on eventually, but it still didn't help her wants. She knew her friend was right, but as long as she kept her attraction to herself, like AJ suggested, she wouldn't find herself in any trouble. So she hoped.
