taly1213 Thank you for reading my story and adding it as a favorite I greatly appreciate it. I was afraid nobody would read it so thank you!
John hadn't actually had a match tonight he was supposed to just cut a promo for the next pay per view in three weeks. So he watches the tv as Randy gives Cody a RKO John can't help but feel himself getting flushed. Randy was so good at what he did and that something was handing out RKO's to superstars in the roster. Not to mention that he looked super crazy attractive as he was doing it. John could feel himself getting crazy jealous of Sam. She was a lucky woman and she treated Randy like shit. They were always fighting over something stupid. For instance the fact that Randy was always on the road but at the same time she was always upset that Randy didn't make enough money. John had spent many night with Randy trying to reassure him that he was a good father and a great man. John suddenly felt so sad that Randy would never know that somebody out there truly loved him for him. John wants to run away and lock himself back up in his room but he knows that he can't. He has fans and friends that would never let him disappear. John is so deep in thought that he doesn't even notice that Randy is making his way through the curtain.
"What did you think?"
"Huh about what?"
"The match were you even paying attention dude?"
"Oh yeah sorry I was thinking. It was great that RKO to Cody was executed wonderfully."
"Thanks. So what were you thinking about?"
"Oh nothing."
"Like I believe that but I am gonna go shower. I will see you later?"
"Yeah sounds good."
With this Randy gives John a pat on the shoulder before making his way down the corridor that leads back to the locker rooms. John can't help but catch a glance of him walking away and it makes John feel even worse. John is suddenly approached by a stagehand that tells him he is on in five minutes. John takes his dog tags out of his pocket and gives them a kiss before placing them around his necks. Then on cue John hears his music blasting through the speakers and into the arena. He says a silent prayer then steps through the curtains and onto the ramp. The crowd goes wild and John begins to feed off their energy. The camera man gets closer to John who looks into the camera and says "Dallas where everything is bigger and better." Then he salutes to the camera before taking off running down the ramp. He gets to the bottom of the ramp and slides into the ring. John puts his hand up in his famous stand like always and the crowd cheers even louder if that were possible. Once the crowd has died down John asks for a mic and one is tossed to him by a stagehand seated next to the announcer's table. John takes the mic and looks into the crowd the arena is huge probably 30,000 seats and everyone is filled with people. People who are watching him intensely wondering what he will say about his arch-enemy at the moment.
"Dallas how are you all doing tonight?"
The crowd cheers like crazy and John smiles his famous smile showing off his dimples.
"Good to hear but if you all will allow me a moment to get serious."
Randy pulls back the curtain and steps out of the shower. He reaches for his towel that is hanging on the rack above the toilet in his bathroom. He manages to grab it and he wraps the soft white towel around his waist. He reaches for the other towel and begins to dry his face off. Randy places the towel back on the rack and opens the bathroom door. He steps into the locker room and makes his way over to a chair that is sitting in the corner of the room where he tossed his bag earlier. On his way to the chair Randy looks over and sees John on the tv. He picks up the remote from the table next to the chair and turns the volume up. Randy sits the remote back down on the table and opens his bag. He looks through it before pulling out his favorite red shirt. The shirt was a crew cut shirt that buttoned only halfway down the front. Randy pulls the shirt over his head as he listens to John talk about his match with Damien at survivor series. Randy pulls out a pair of black boxer briefs and slides them on as he let's the towel hit the floor. Then he pulls out a pair of boot cut jeans and slides them on. He buttons them and then pulls out his red converse. Randy sits his bag on the floor and then sits on the chair. He pulls one shoe on and begins to tie it as he looks up at screen. He stops what he is doing and watches John.
Randy can't help but feel a lot of respect at how John addresses the crowd. No other superstar can grab an audience and pull them to the edge of their seats like John. Love or hate him you had to respect the guy and the passion that he put into his work. It was amazing and it made Randy feel oddly attracted to John. Randy shakes his head and tries to focus on his shoes. He finishes tying his one shoe before putting on the other one. Randy tells himself over and over he is married to a women. A women that he loves very much, a women that his soul mate, a women that treats him like total shit. He could never be attracted to another man. That wasn't who his father had raised him to be. Once Randy is dressed he packs his ring gear into the bag and throws it over his shoulder as he stands. He looks around the room to make sure he hasn't forgotten anything. Satisfied that he has everything he makes his way to the door. He opens it and then closes it quickly behind him. He looks around and makes his way quickly to the front of the arena to catch a taxi. Randy is able to wave one down fairly quickly. He throws his bag into the back of the taxi then gets in. He asks the driver where the closest bar is at. The driver tells him it is only a couple of blocks away and that is where Randy asks to be taken. The driver nods and pulls away from the arena.
"I will beat Damien and I will win the title back I promise this to all of you guys who have supported me through everything."
With this John gives the mic a toss and makes his way out of the ring and up the ramp. The crowd is cheering loudly as John walks through the curtain. Punk is standing there waiting for him and Punk smiles as soon as he sees John. John notices that Punk is wearing a black sabbath t-shirt and his hair is wet like he just got out of the shower. Punk puts his hand up and waits for John to give him a high-five.
"Dude I just caught the end of your speech but it was brilliant no wonder the crowd loves you."
"Thanks I just speak from the heart."
"Nobody has that much passion and connection with the crowd."
"Maybe not but there are some good speakers."
"Well anyway you ready to go or you wanna shower first?"
"Nah I think I am good I showered before I got here and I didn't have a match."
"Okay let's go get Nikki and we can go."
"Okay."
With this Punk turns and makes his way back down the corridor towards the locker rooms. As they walk they see random superstars talking among themselves and with different back stage people. Before long they reach the diva's locker room. Punk knocks on the door and waits a moment before AJ flings open the door.
"Can I help you?"
"Is Nikki in there?"
"Yeah old on."
With this she slams the door in their faces and a few seconds later the door reopens Nikki is standing behind it this time smiling at them.
"You guys ready?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
Nikki follows them into the hallway closing the door behind her. The three of them talk about the show as they make their way to the front of the arena. When they reach the front of the door John opens the door for them and they make their way into the street. Punk pulls out his phone and checks a text that is from Randy telling them that he is at a bar a couple of blocks away. John suggest that they walk and everybody is okay with it so they set off towards the direction of the bar.
"Did you guys see the way Randy performed that RKO."
"Dude it was beautifully done."
"He looked so hot doing it."
"Nikki!"
"Well he did and I am sure that John agrees with me."
"I do agree with her."
"John I think you should tell Randy how you feel."
"I can't he is married with a daughter."
"Yeah he is married to the worlds biggest cunt."
"Punk that is such a nasty word."
"Well it is true she treats him like shit."
"It doesn't matter he is still married and I can't tell him how I feel."
"Fine suit yourself."
The three of them stop at a little red brick building with the name Terry's flashing in neon lights on the front. John opens the door and Nikki then Punk enter. John enters last closing the door behind him. They step inside and the bar is hoping there is a dance floor in the back of the bar with a dj playing music. In the left side of the bar are several booths with red seats and black tables. On the right end of the bar is the real bar with red stools a female bartender pouring drinks. They look around for a moment until they see Randy sitting in a booth by himself. They make their way over to where he is sitting. Randy looks up from his beer and smiles at his group of friends.
"Hi guys."
"Hi, is it cool if we join you?"
"Yeah."
Randy scoot over and pats the seat next to him. Nikki and Punk are quick to grab the seats on the opposite side so that John is forced to sit next to Randy. Randy smiles as John sits down and he flags a waitress to their table. She smiles brightly as she asks them what they would like to drink.
"I will have a Pepsi."
Nikki orders a margarita and John orders a Budweiser the waitress is about to walk away when Randy asks her for a shot of Jagger for the three of them. She smiles and winks at him before walking away. Randy finishes off his beer and looks at the three of them.
"What's up guys."
"Not much god Randy are you already drunk?"
"What if I am."
"Nothing."
"I just needed to relax okay. I got into it with Sam again."
John gives his friend a pat on the shoulder. Punk grabs Nikki's hand under the table and holds it. Nikki smiles slightly before looking at Randy with concern. She is about to ask Randy what happened when the waitress returns with their drinks. Randy thanks her and gives her a twenty then he asks her to come back into about twenty minutes with another round of shots. She thanks him for the tip before winking at him and leaving the table. Randy passes out the shots then holds up his own glass.
"Here is to marriage and the unhappiness that it brings."
With this the three of them down their shots then John opens his beer and takes a swig. Randy follows his lead and opens his beer. He drinks about half the beer in one swig and the three of them just look at him. Nikki takes a sip of her drink before asking Randy what happened this time.
"Well she called to ask me when we would be home from this tour and I told her four more days. Well she got pissed because I will miss Ali's recital. I told her I could fly home if she really wanted me too but then I wouldn't get paid the bonus for our live appearance at the end and that pissed her off. She told me I was worthless and that I didn't make enough. So she decided that I needed to stay and get the bonus and she would tell Ali that I was too busy to make it."
"That is terrible."
"I am sorry dude."
"It's okay you aren't the one that married the bitch."
"Still sucks."
The waitress comes back with their second round Randy thanks her and finishes off his beer before asking her for another one. He gives her another twenty and tells her to bring the beer in ten minutes with another round of shots. John takes another drink of beer and looks at Randy. Punk and Nikki look at each other than look at Randy. John finishes his beer and he can feel himself getting dizzy. The waitress comes back with another round and a couple more beers. Randy takes them and thanks her before asking her to just bring the bottle of Jager. The three of them take another shot and Nikki takes a drink of margarita before asking Punk if he wants to go dance. Punk agrees and with this he slides out of the booth and takes Nikki's hand leading her to the dance floor. Randy and John watch them as Randy sets up another round of shots. They take their shots and John can feel the buzz kick in he loves the feeling of being carefree at least for a little while.
"So what's the deal with those two."
"I think they are a thing."
"God it's about time."
"I know the tension was so thick a saw couldn't cut it."
"I think they are cute together."
"I agree."
Then out of nowhere Randy begins to cry. John looks at his friend and his heart breaks for him. John puts his hand on Randy's arm and Randy grabs John's hand and holds it. This takes John by surprise for a moment but he doesn't try to pulls his hand away he just let's Randy hold it. Randy tries to talk through sobs.
" I don't know what to do. I feel something I shouldn't for somebody I shouldn't. I am scared John, I am married and I am supposed to love my wife. That is what my dad taught us. His sons didn't run away from their lives they lived them no matter what. You were suppose to find a wife and settle down."
"You did Randy and you are trying to make it work no matter how hard it is. Your dad should be proud of you. I am sure he is proud of you."
"No he wouldn't be proud if he knew what I felt now."
"What do you feel?"
Before John can process what is happening Randy is kissing John. At first John doesn't know what to do he just sits there but then his senses over take him and he gives into the kiss. He wraps his arms around Randy's necks and pulls Randy closer to him. He begs for entrance into Randy's mouth which Randy grants. Randy runs his hand through John's hair and let's out a passionate moan that John is more than happy to hear. Then suddenly just like he started Randy pulls away from John and looks at him. His eyes are red from crying and he looks like he has just been pushed in front of a set of headlights. His eyes are wide with horror he apologizes to John and throws some money on the table before quickly getting up and running towards the exit. John calls after him but Randy doesn't stop so John gets up and goes after him.
"Randy!"
Randy doesn't stop he walks faster towards the direction of the arena. John starts to jog to try to catch up with him.
"Randy."
This time Randy turns around and looks at him anger flashing in his eyes.
"What?"
"Were are you going."
"To the hotel."
"Randy please I love you."
This seems to have the opposite effect of what John was hoping for. Randy gets in John's face and his eyes are dark with anger. His voice has changed and is dripping with venom.
"Take it back."
"I can't Randy."
With this Randy punches John in the nose. John cries out in pain and falls to the sidewalk Randy leans close to him.
"Stay away from me."
With this he gets up and walks briskly away from John. John sits up and holds his nose which is bleeding as he watches Randy walk away.
