Disclaimer: Still remains the same. I do not own any of the actual WWE
superstars in this story, but I'm still planning on it. I do own Hayley
Peterson - Gowen and I do own Ariel the best friend. Other then that, it's
all up for grabs folks.
Summary: Sequel to Lipstick and Bruises. Miss the mass pandemonium and weirdness from the first story? Then take a ride with me on the second volume. Hayley and Zach are still happily married, with no issues, but what happens when the past comes back to haunt them? Ariel and Randy Orton have been going strong for just as long, and she is sure that there's going to be a proposal in the future, but will she get the wedding of her dreams? Or her worst nightmare brought to life?
A/N: This one will not be first person I'm afraid, it will be in third, where I call home, so beware of that. Also this story will focus more on the two couples, not just the twisted love story of the one.
********************************************
"Hayley, would you just come and sit down? Zach is due out any minute!!" Ariel screamed from the other room. Hayley looked down at Carioca, who was still sleeping in her crib, despite the serious amount of noise that Ariel was known for making.
Shutting off the light and closing the door quietly behind her, so not to cause Carioca to wake up screaming much like the night before, she made her way down the stairs and into the living room to join her friend on the couch.
"So how's my girly?" Ariel asked, flipping the station back to Smack down so they could watch Hayley's husband in action.
"Tired."
"I meant the little angel upstairs but hell thanks for the update. Are things really that hard for you right now Hayley?"
"Not as hard as I expected but they aren't easy. Listen, I know you and Randy are serious and everything but make sure he's the one before you get pregnant alright?"
Ariel threw Hayley a look of concern and turned back to the television. If she wanted to open up about why she said that, then Ariel was going to let her. She was sure Hayley and Zach wouldn't be having any issues, they were too in love with each other.
"Okay Hay, spill. Why did you say that to me?"
"Hmm?" Hayley murmured engrossed in what was happening on the television as Zach's opponent for the night, Matt Hardy made his way down to the ring.
"Why did you tell me to make sure Randy was the one before having kids? Is there something you aren't telling me about you and Zach? You didn't kick his ass out did you?"
Hayley laughed and turned the volume down on the television. Turning back to her friend, she smiled lightly and grabbed Ariel's hand.
"I said what I said because having a baby is harder then hell, even now when she's sleeping like an angel. I didn't mean that Zach and I were having issues. Everything couldn't be better. Listen can we just watch the match and then we can talk about anything you want? I promised I wouldn't miss his first match back."
"Sure Hay, anything you want."
They both turned their attentions back to the match and didn't see the person standing outside on the driveway, watching their every move.
***********************************
"Zachy, good match out there, sorry you couldn't win one on your first night back!" Kurt yelled patting him on the back and continuing down the hallway.
It had seemed on the surface that after Brock's death that everything had gotten back to normal in the locker room and people weren't looking at him so differently now. He was glad because he loved what he did and he didn't want to have to give it up.
"Yeah thanks Kurt. I'll be out there facing you soon enough."
Entering the locker room he shared with John Cena and Chris Benoit, he threw his towel on the bench and went into the shower. His thoughts floated to his wife and what he pictured that she was doing right now with her friend Ariel in Toronto. She had said that when the show was on she was going to be with Ariel after Carioca went to sleep. He could almost see her there on the couch, talking about him and Randy like they were pieces of meat and a smile came to his face. He had to make sure he got home really soon, he couldn't believe how much he missed them.
"Hey Zach you in here buddy?"
Zach shut the water off and stuck his head out of the shower, scanning the room for the voice he had heard.
"Yeah, who's asking? Can't a guy get a damn shower after his match in piece?"
Matt came around the corner of the locker room and laughed. They had just had a match and on the show they hated each other pretty bad, not to mention the fact that Matt's little buddy kept getting involved, but off the cameras, Matt was a pretty decent guy and one that Zach really respected.
"So what do you want?"
"Well John suggested a bunch of us go out tonight and get a few drinks. Now I know you've got the family at home, so I thought I would ask first. You in or you out?"
"Count me in. Who else is going?"
"Me, Shannon, John, Kurt, Chris and now you. That sound good to you buddy?"
"Sounds like a plan. Now can I get a shower please?"
"By all means buddy. Don't let me stop you. I know how important it is to hide when you don't have a whole lot to show." Matt said, laughing and slapping Shannon's hands as he walked away. Zach shook his head and got back in the shower. He did miss his wife, but maybe getting out with the guys again like old times would be good for him. He needed to take his mind off being a husband and a father for a few hours.
**********************************
"Did you see that?" Ariel asked as Hayley came back into the living room with the iced tea. Placing it on the table, Hayley followed her friends gaze to the window.
"See what Ariel?"
"See that person hanging around outside. I'm almost tempted to go out there and get all Randy on their ass."
"Excuse me; you want to get what on their ass?" Hayley said, trying to hold back her laugh at what her friend had just said. It seemed that in the past two years since Ariel and Randy had started dating, and Zach had gone back to work, that Ariel was becoming more and more involved in the business and in everything her man did.
"I said I would have to get all Randy on them. Okay what gives here Hay? What's so damn funny? I am trying to tell you that someone is outside your house watching us, and you are laughing."
"What? It's damn funny that's what. Do you even hear yourself Ariel? Okay so there was someone outside. I am being serious now. Do you know what they looked like?"
"Just some dude leering in here at us, looked like he was struggling to see or something. Doesn't that creep you out just a little?"
"Yeah it does. Look come on, let's go out there and check it out."
Hayley got off the couch and started making her way to the door. She turned around when she realized that her friend was not behind her but still on the couch staring out the window, waiting for something to happen.
"Ariel damn it, are you coming with me or not?"
"You want to go out there alone, where some creepy man could be waiting for us, without some sort of weapon? Are you fucking insane?"
"Yeah probably, remember I did shoot and kill a wrestler, and then went ahead and married one, so insanity it my middle name. Now listen there's some old shoes and an umbrella by the front door, which weapon do you want here?"
Ariel laughed at the choices and opted for the umbrella. There was no way in hell she was picking up one of Zach's old runners and running around the house in the dark with it. She wouldn't be caught dead doing that if someone caught them that were.
"So the old shoe for me it is. Now let's go before it gets even darker and we risk the attack factor even more."
Seeing the look on Ariel's face, Hayley wanted to take back what she had said. It was supposed to be meant as a joke seeing as she was getting all bent out of shape about someone being outside the house, but Hayley knew that the joke could be very much serious.
She allowed herself to remember the time a year ago when she had looked outside her window to see someone she thought she knew walking down the street and stopping in front of the house. She had put that incident out of her mind, thinking that it had to be her eyes playing tricks on her from the past, but now, it seemed to all come flooding back again.
"Okay let's go; get this damn thing over with. Maybe I didn't even see anyone; it could have been a damn dog peering in here."
"Wait Ariel, dogs peer in houses now? What, because they are bored?" laughing Hayley opened the door and stepped out onto the porch. There was no way she was going to be afraid in her own house. She had sworn years ago that this mess would be behind her and she would be happy and live stress and worry free.
With Ariel close on her heels, she made her way down the walkway and around the trees. Listening to Ariel's steps behind her, she turned around to see what Ariel was doing that was slowing her down.
"Ariel you really need to keep up with me here, you know we wouldn't make very good private investigators-Holy shit!"
At the sound of Hayley's voice talking to her and realizing that she hadn't even made it down the walkway, Ariel ran down as fast as she could, the umbrella tightly in her grasp. What she saw when she got around the bushes was something she thought she would never have to see again. Looking down, Ariel saw a man, above her now unconscious friend, who had obviously fainted. This couldn't be good.
***************************************************************
A/N2: Okay so this is the question from the last chapter of the Lipstick and Bruises story, so for anyone new that reads this one, please throw in your two cents. It will all be revealed next chapter. Who do you think is the mystery man standing above Hayley? Randy? (Who wasn't with Zach at the arena), Hayley's dad (it's been awhile for everyone seeing him right?) or could it be Brock Lesnar (did he really die?) Didn't I say that this one would be better?
