MARIA/RANDY

'It was just a hit'

Maria dabbed at the gray-purple color that had circled around her eye. It stood out in her reflection. Red hair, green eyes, heart-shaped face, and a bruise on her left eye. It was HER fault. She had hurt RANDY'S feelings. He had a right to hit her. Right?

She ignored it. What happened happens. Maria added blush to the bruise and quickly closed the mirror door. She turned to the dress that lay in her bag. Freshly bought. A red cocktail dress that gradually suited her red curls. RANDY would love it. At least, now he wouldn't complain about how horrible she looked at Maryse's cocktail parties. Maria slipped on the dress.

There was a light knock at her apartment door and she knew Mickie was here to pick her up. Maria opened the door for Mickie.

"Ready to go?"

"Yup." Before Maria could slip out of the door Mickie grabbed her by the shoulder. The bruise had went through the blush. "What is that?" Maria wiped her eye. She couldn't let anyone know about Randy hitting her. They'd keep her from seeing him. She loved Randy. And she guess Randy loves her as well. They were meant for each other and if anyone found out they would tear them apart.

"What is it?" Mickie asked again. She squeezed Maria's hand. "Nothing" "It can't be nothing!" Maria rolled her eyes, she wished Mickie would just leave it alone. "I said nothing" She said more roughly. Mickie let go. "Theres a bruise on your eye" "If you don't get off of it I just won't go." Though, Maria knew she was lying. Of course, she'd go. Just not with Mickie, but with Randy.

EVE/KELLY

'A Decision'

"To WWE, the greatest company in the world!" Clank! The glasses clanked together. "And to the sexiest woman in the world" Ted added grinning at Maryse who just smiled. "Yes I am". Eve sat next to Kelly Kelly at the long table in the middle of the room. A long red table cloth fell down the table. She was nervous. Kelly wanted her to tell EVERYONE, but how could she?

Everyone would think she is a freak and it'd probably ruin her sports career. She'd heard Vince McMahon was very strict when it came to relationships. "Okay, any news before we start the party" Maryse asked. Eve felt Kelly nudge her in the elbow. It was the time to say something. Another nudge. Eve stood up. Just say it already, better to get it over with. "Well" Everyone was looking at her. Waiting for the news. "Ummm…" Kelly was smiling at her.

Say it.

"I.."

"I just got a house in Los Angeles"

Everyone clapped. Except Kelly who wasn't in her seat. She had went to the Ladies Room. "Nice, I used to be in LA until I met this sexy lady" Randy smiled at Maria who turned bright red, but managed to grin back. Eve faked a smile. "I have to go to the bathroom, excuse me" She scurried to the bathroom.

Kelly was staring at the mirror. Tears were streaming down her cheeks and her eyes were bright red. "I'm so sorry, Kelly" Eve whispered. She just didn't have the nerve to tell anyone. Kelly had always been more rebellious then her. Eve didn't have guts in the relationship. "You were suppose to tell everyone about us" She said.

"I'm sorry" Eve knew she already said it, but it was the only thing she could force out. "Why didn't you!" Kelly yelled and fell to the floor, burying her head in her hands. Eve hated to see her like this. She knelt down beside her. "I love you and that's all that matters" She said. "If you loved me why didn't you tell everyone!" Eve wanted Kelly to lower her voice. She couldn't imagine how Maryse would humiliate them if she found out.

Kelly pushed her away. "I'm going home"
