Muahaha...oh, and so what if I made a mistake, I spelled seven wrong. So what? Just let me know, you dont have to be all mean and ignorant about it! :/ Gosh, people can be such assholes...anyway...enjoy the chapter! :)

Chapter 2: Envy

"Maria, I hate to say this but you seem to lack being won over by the crowd, and as a result your getting yourself the push you deserve." Stephanie McMahon told Maria. Maria raised her eyebrows satisfaction suddenly appearing on her face.

"Really? What am I doing? Who am I going to be working with?" Maria asked her. Stephanie smirked, "I hope CM Punk doesnt mind this, but your going to be working with Randy Orton." Stephanie informed her.

"Interesting. I'm sure Phil wont mind." Maria lied. She knew CM Punk will have a huge problem with this storyline. "It depends Steph, what kind of storyline is it?"

"It's a romantic storyline, we're turning Randy face. Oh, and that reminds me...CM Punk will also be working with the two of you too. You know, we need a good heel for this storyline so, be ready." Stephanie told her.

Maria smiled, yup, Phil wasnt going to like this one bit. "Okay Steph, thanks."

Maria stood up and walked out of the door when she was suddenly stopped by Randy Orton.

"I cant wait to work with you and your goofy ass boyfriend." Randy smirked.

"Dont get too over-excited Orton. Phil is very picky with the guys I have to work with. So, please, dont try and push Phil to the limit." Maria told him.

"Why not? Phil was being an ass when he was getting all cozy with Serena last night at your date." Randy told her.

"Wow, stalker much Orton? How'd you know about that?" Maria asked him.

"I saw you last night with the infamous Straight Edge Society. Come on, Maria, be honest. You deserve better then Punk." Randy told her.

Maria sighed. "What is it with people being all up in my business? Like, seriously? I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself. And besides, all this with Serena and the Straight Edge Society...it's just...it's just complicated okay?" Maria told him off completely while walking away in the process.

"What? Are you serious? Stephanie must've lost her fucking mind. We are working with Orton! And you are in a storyline, a romantic storyline with him! This is such bullshit, no one steps in between me and my girlfriend." Punk gritted his teeth.

"Seriously, Phil. Relax. This is just what I needed, after all, you said I needed a push anyway. Last night, you said I have to win a lot more matches, get behind the crowd. Blah, blah, blah. You know, all that egotistical shit." Maria spat.

"Hey, listen to me. I'm doing this for the better of you Maria. I'm only trying to save you." Punk told her.

"Save me? How about you start being a real boyfriend first instead of being an egotistical jackass Phil!" Maria yelled to him.

"Excuse me, who are you talking to like that?" Punk asked her.

"I'm talking to you, now look, we're either going to take this seriously or not. Stephanie is counting on the both of us to do good with our backstage segment and soon our ring segment with Randy. If you want me to get better, shut up and let's just get this thing over with already. Please Phil?" Maria asked him.

Phil sighed. "Fine. But if Orton crosses the line, he is fucking dead meat."

"Phil, please, dont screw this up." Maria shook her head obviously annoyed of Phil envying Randy for being in a romantic storyline with his girlfriend. For once, Maria was glad she was getting some time off away from Phil and his crazy antics.

Maria was seen walking down the halls, fake tears running down her face. While walking, she was stopped by Randy Orton, who suddenly seemed so concerned for the red head diva.

"Maria, are you okay? What's wrong?"

Maria sobbed and sniffed a few times, making it believable to the people watching that she was really crying and really upset.

"Punk and his crazy antics with the Straight Edge society. It's doing nothing but tearing our relationship apart. Especially when he's sooo busy hanging around with Serena. It's like I'm invisible to him." Maria cried out.

"Maria, listen to me. You are a very beautiful woman, I dont see how Punk can make you feel invisible. You deserve better then Punk, Maria." Randy told her.

"Orton, what're you doing with my girlfriend?" Punk asked suddenly coming up in Randy's face.

"I'm trying to comfort her, Punk. Look at her, your pushing her around like she's garbage. She deserves better, Punk, at least better then you." Randy told him.

"Shut up, you have no right to talk to me that way. What happened to you Randy? What happened to that cold heartless man known as Randy Orton? You changed, and I think it's time for me to step in and save you from what's around you Randy." Punk told him.

"Yeah, right. The only person who needs to be saved is you, from an ass beating if you keep treating Maria wrong." Randy threatened him. Maria was surprised to see Randy was actually pretty serious about this whole thing, even know it was just only a storyline.

"Just stay away from her Orton." Punk told him as he walked away along with Maria.

After Randy's match with Sheamus, Maria came out to the ring and thanked him for the back up with CM Punk and the SES. While thanking him, she was interrupted when CM Punk and his Straight Edge followers came in the ring.

"Maria, what did I tell you about hanging around with Orton? I told you, he's bad news. And he's dangerous, come with me right now." Punk demanded.

Maria grew feaful and backed away from Punk, Punk grabbed her and pushed her causing Randy to immediately attack CM Punk and the rest of the SES. This storyline was actually going better then Maria have thought it would, execpt things with Randy and Phil became far too serious then she has expected.

Backstage...

"Randy, what was that all about? You seem a lot more serious then I thought you were going to be, you know, since this is a storyline." Maria told him.

"Maria, you dont get it do you?" Randy asked her.

"No I dont. Just answer me Randy."

"I told you, that you deserve better then Punk. I hope he got the picture tonight because..." Randy paused.

"What is it Randy?" Maria asked him.

"Because, I really do like you Maria."

In a blink of an eye, their lips met with each others, with Phil watching in the shadows.
