While holding her baby in her arms bottle feeding him, Melinda looks through the emails at her office. She notice the magazine cover for Wrestlemania to promote the event, it was none other than The Body or Legs. Melinda sighs. "Really, I don't want to see this woman, and what the hell her body still looks like are you fucking kidding me?" Melinda eyes widen as she flip through the photos that haven't been posted to the company website. The Body was aging gracefully and her tummy her tone and her abs were to die for. Here's the deal, The Body and Daniel were dating way before they both enter the company.

"Why do you have a $285 dress shirts?" Tamar thought it was just insane. She was looking at the dress suits Jonathan had laid for a few appearances. Blue suite, white Armni dress shirt with Fendi cuff links.
Jonathan laughs. "Because I want to." He kisses her. "Besides, I never had nice clothes let alone expensive clothes growing up. But I was happy, and I knew I was going to have the life I always dreamed of."
"Awww." Tamar kisses him on the lips and it turns passionately. The younger female straddles him. "I love you."
Jonathan smiles. "Ah kiddo."
She notices her face and begins to chuckle. "Something wrong?" Tamara ask.
"No, it's just, we've only been at this a few months. You can't just throw love out there."
Tamar makes a face. "I'm not, I do-"
"How do you know Tamar?"
Tamar didn't know, but she had some strong feelings for the older man although she know she should have. The female threw herself off the former champion. "Nevermind, that's cool. I gotta pack for the house shows this weekend."
Jonathan follows Tamar into the bathroom. "I thought there was an understanding on our relationship Tam?"
"Yes, but I can't help how I feel."
He sighs. "Listen, I like you a lot, Tamar I do. But your young baby, I know your going to find someone better and younger than me."
"Just because I'm 20 and your 40 doesn't mean anything to me." Well it should because your actually 17 and he's 40. Tamar thoughts were began to bring her back into reality. "Let's get dress and I'll meet up with you on the road."
"Please Tamar just don't be mad at me." Jonathan says in a low tone making his deep voice sound horse."
"I'm not, I understand." She kisses him on the cheek. "We'll talk about it this weekend."
"I'm not book for any house shows so I am going to be with my girls, but Sunday I'll leave out of Jacksonville, and fly straight to Saint Louis for Raw… okay."
Tamar nods. "Lock the door on the way out."
Randy turns his left to see the latte colored skin of his girlfriend next to him in bed. It was still dark outside and it was only 5:33 am. Usually Randy would be getting ready to head to the gym but no, he wasn't about to. Instead him and Layla had to catch a flight, none the less to Saint Louis his hometown. Monday night Raw was being held there tonight and all he wanted to do was wrestle, greet fans, and leave back out and head for KanasCity, KS for the Smackdown taping, then Florida for two days then back to the Midwest for the weekend. His cell buzz and he could hardly believe he name the pop up on hi screen. His handsome features were place with confusion. "Are you fucking kidding me right now?" He mouth as he deleted the text.
"Morning baby!" Layla said with excitement. "I'm still sore from last night."
Randy arches a brow. "Wanna go again-"
"We'll miss our flight, and I want to go to STL see your home town-"
"Baby…seriously there's nothing there but the arch and on our way towards the arena we can stop and see that okay-actually you can see that when we land."
Layla made her face pout. "Well at least take me to your favorite restaurant there."
Randy rolls his eyes. "There is a Hooters in every state-"
Layla laughs. "You're a jerk."
"Okay, I got a surprise for you then." He kisses her. "Let's get ready for our flight and as soon as we land I'll take you to some of my favorite places."
"Great."
Saint Louis, Mo
Monday night Raw was on and rocking in Saint Louis. Tonight was all title matches and a cage match with the heavy weight title to be on the line. Layla vs. Tara vs. Gail Kim was the match to kick off the show. Randy invited his father backstage and he couldn't help but to have his father watch her match.
"So it's the Asian girl?" His father asks.
"No, the black one with kinky hair." Randy said with a sneaky smirk on his face because he knew after the show he's was going to get into something tonight.
"Oh…" his father said. "So how long you two been dating?"
"You gotta ask her but don't tell I said that. I am just going to say a few months." Randy notice the tone in his dad's voice but didn't take his eyes from the screen. "What?"
"Nothing, she's pretty gal."
"She beautiful." Randy said without knowing it said this outlould. Layla had counted Gail Kim's move, to attack her with the bulldog. There was a angle going with her Jade and Tamar. The ladies stood at the ramp to distract Layla from the champion Gail Kim since their leader Tara was out. This gave Tara enough time for Tara to knee Layla in the back. "Oh baby!" Randy yells to the monitor. "Get up girl!" He didn't know the aspect of the match but he knew Gail will come out the winner. But Layla's performance was getting better and better. "And your winner…Gail Kim!"
Randy turns to his dad who had a weak smile on her face. "She's gorgeous right?"
"Yeah, she is."
"My match up is after the commercial break so after the show." Randy was beyond excited,, but his father…no much. He'd stay for his son match. "What happen to Mickie?"
Randy's face frown. "Don't know , don't care."
After the diva's match and as Gail Kim raised her hands up in the air. The short video played for the hall of fame inductee it was none other than The Body. Old mash ups of matches, photos and promos to promote the legendary leggy diva. Melinda could do nothing but roll her eyes.
"Damn that bad, you'll get your turn."
The red head looks up from her monitor to see the oldest McMahon. "Shane?"
"Yes, that's me." He winks at the redhead diva leaning in her door way. "Congrats on the baby boy."
"Thank you." She looks over to DJ's crib. "How you been?"
"Clean and sober past 120days, real real good." Shane said in a perky tone. "So…I am about to go a make an announcement. Please watch."
Melinda could do nothing but nod her head. Now she knew Randy was the bad boy off camera but she believe that Shane McMahon got him beat, or had him beat. Melinda couldn't wait to see what was all this about and she wanted to know did Stephanie have anything to do with it.
Alicia: What's going on I hear Shane is there tonight. 7:59pm
Layla: No I haven't seen him babe, stay off the internet 8:04 pm
Alicia: Im at home for another month what you want me to do? Lol great match by the way. 8: 05pm
Layla: Thanks 8:06pm
"Hey, babe follow me, there's someone I want you to meet."
Layla still in her wrestling gear followed her boyfriend. "Your sweaty."
"I know so take a shower with me."
"Randy…" She said bashfully. "What's going on?"
The couple appeared before a man that looks similar to Randy. Wearing cowboy boots, jeans white dress shirt and cowboy hat he plastered a weak smile on his face. "Dad, this is Layla my girlfriend and baby this is my dad."
Layla couldn't believe it. "Randy I look I mess." Layla said punching him in the arm. "Hello sir how are you."
Bob, extends his hand to the younger female. "great and you young lady?"
"Great, nice to meet you-"
"Yeah this was a surprise to both of us. I didn't plan or knew he had a girlfriend." Bob looks to his son. "We don't talk much."
Randy sighs inside. Are you serious bro? Bob continues to talk. "Anyways I have to get going, your mom is waiting on me." He gives his son a hand shake not wanting the sweat to get on him. Layla began to feel uncomfortable. "Well its nice meeting you sir."
"You too as well." Layla turns to Randy. "Hey ledged killer, I'm about to take a shower. I'll wait for you."
Randy kisses her on cheek. "Alright babe." He walks his dad to his rental. "So you want to tell me what that was about-"
"You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend, how was I suppose to know Randy we haven't talked in months have seen you really only when you come here for your job. What happened to Mickie-"
"Fuck Mickie! and who care if I told you about her not, is this because she's black?"
Bob eyes widen at his son's outburst. "Randy get help, you know better than that and when you do give me a call." Bob couldn't believe the actions of his son. He didn't know if it was the wrestling or something else, but he hope that his son would get better.

Stephanie's cell phone was now blowing up since Shane had made the announcement of her being invest aged. She takes the battery out and rolled over to the cold side of her bed. Shane had just made a private matter public, and so now it was time to pull out the big guns. "Okay Shane…okay."
Saint Louis, Mo
Jade and Wade were sitting in the parking having a very deep and flirtatious conversation with one another until John Lauranitits spotted them across the parking lot and began to march towards them.
"What is his deal?" Wade ask her noticing that Jade loosen her embrace from him.
"Hard to explain." Jade thought she said in her head when in reality, it was out loud.
"I'm your boyfriend, what's too hard to explain?" Wade didn't understand. Lauranitis was the General Manger not her father. "You just work for him."
If only Jade could tell him the truth. "Listen, I gotta go, I'll meet you down in Miami then we'll be back on the road for the weekend for the house shows okay?" With a peck on the cheek. Jade left without a reply from Wade who nod simply at the blonde.
"Where' Tamar Jade?" Lauranitis smokers voice was now simply getting to the younger female. Jade rolls her eyes as she followed him back inside of the building. "No."
"Haven't I told you about being with that guy or any other guy around here?"
"Wade and I were just friends-"
Laurinitis turns to the blonde. "Right, and I just love to eat ice cream because it makes me lose weight. Knock it off Jade or you'll be in deep shit." He takes the envelope of $3000 in cash out and gives it to Jade. She counted it and stashed it in her pocket. "Hand this over to Tamar and you girls are booked for the weekend shows."
"Yes." Jade says accepting the envelope for Tamar. "Anything else?"
"Yes…stay away from Wade and keep your legs close. If I start to hear things I'm going to take matters into my own hands. Clear?"
"...Crystal."
"You mind telling me what that was about back there?" Layla question her boyfriend as he got inside of the rental.
"Nothing, that's my dad."
"Well…the air was weird tonight. You never told me about your dad and he seem clueless to me that I was your life." Layla said softly. "You okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Let's just drive to the next town okay babe. I just want to forget about this night." Randy looks over to the beauty next to him. "Please?"
"Ok, I'll drop it." Layla smiles.
"Thank you."
…hours later…
Layla had switch driving with Randy and the couple soon arrived at their dentations. Randy feel straight to sleep with nothing but a pair of boxers on. Layla, places on his RKO nwo version shirt and left her curls fall loosely, she wasn't in the mood to tie her hair up. Completely drain, the diva turns off the light and cuddle next to her handsome boyfriend who was snoring softly. The buzzing vibration of Randy's cell was something that kept waking Layla up throughout her sleep. Damn he sleeps like a rock. It was 3 am and Randy's text message was 5 messages new. Layla looks at Randy before taking his phone and seeing who it was that was texting her man.
Bob: Hey son, not sure what the hell that was back there but I hope you get better soon with whatever demons your fighting with. I wish you and your girl nothing but the best…but Mickie call she sounded frantic and scared…you know the issues that's going on with her and you need to handle your business like a man.
