Here's the next chapter, sorry for the late post.
Chapter 4
It was the Raw after Backlash and Vince had OKed Mackenzie's plans for her on going storyline with John Cena. She sneered as she looked over what was going to happen tonight; he was going to be in a match against Kane, and he didn't like it. He decides to go to Mackenzie and try and pressure her to change the match. She tells him she can't do that, he'd have to take it up with the General Manager of Raw, Shane McMahon.
She changed from her jeans and t-shirt into a knee length black skirt and a white button up shirt; she put on her pumps and pulled her hair back into a bun and brushed her bangs out of her face. She picked up her laptop bag and went out to her rental car. She drove to the arena, it was about 2 hours before show time, she had now adopted the job of handing out all scripts, and all revised scripts to the superstars.
She got to the arena and found her office; it was two doors down from where Vince's office, next door to Stephanie's office and Shane's office was on the other side of hers. She smirked when she saw Randy and John walking down the hall together, Randy waved to her and she waved back shyly and John just sneered at her. She rolled her eyes at him and walked in to her office. She set up her desk and started sifting through the scripts to get them organized.
Her door open and a very fluster Kaci came in; she looked at her friend and smirked.
"Flirting with Conway again" Mackenzie asked her. Kaci shot her a look and Mackenzie raised an eyebrow. "What was that for… it was an innocent question."
"No I wasn't flirting with Conway, I saw him in the hallway flirting with that Candice Michelle…" Kaci stated as she sat down in her chair with a huff.
"Don't worry Kaci you are MUCH better looking than her… she looks like an inflatable doll…" Mackenzie stated with a care less smirk.
"Yeah, but apparently he likes inflatable dolls then…" She stated as she opened up her laptop.
"There are plenty of good looking guys around here; you'll find another one…" Mackenzie stated with a laugh.
Their conversation was interrupted when the two men she saw earlier came in to the room. John took a seat in front of her desk as Randy came around the desk and sat down next to Mackenzie on her desk, much like when Kaci walked in on them the night before.
Mackenzie raised her eyebrow at the young wrestler, "What are you up to Orton?" She asked him as she watched his blue eyes glide over the paper work on her desk.
"Oh nothing, I was coming to see if you had finished the script for me and dad for tomorrow?" Randy stated as he looked for his name.
"Not yet Orton, you are so impatient sometimes…" She laughed as she looked at him.
His light brown hair was gelled perfectly, his blue eyes looked bright with mischief, and his body was clad in his street clothes, blue jeans, a polo short sleeve shirt and black flip flops. She glanced over at Kaci and they both knew the young Orton was up to something.
"What are you up to Orton?" Mackenzie asked again as she grabbed the young superstar's hands before he could pick up a script.
"Why must I be up to something Kenzie? I can't come in here and bother one of my good friends?" He asked her.
"Not with that look on your face…" Kaci stated as she walked over to Mackenzie's desk.
"Oh come on… Randy just ask her so we can get the hell out of here…" John stated a little annoyed.
"Take a chill pill Johnny boy…" Randy stated as he took his hands from Mackenzie. "Mack, you think you could hook me up with that new girl?" Randy asked her.
Mackenzie raised an eyebrow at him and then looked over at Kaci. She hadn't even heard about this new girl, Kaci shrugged and looked at Randy again.
"Who's the girl?" She asked him uncomfortable.
"This hot little number I saw down the hall earlier…" Randy stated.
"Randy, c'mon… now… don't you want to leave that player persona of yours in the ring?" She asked him looking up at him with her light brown eyes.
"C'mon Kenzie, she's just this pretty brunette girl, that wears these cute black framed glasses that hide her pretty brown eyes… I heard from a little blonde blue bird she thought I was hot…" Randy stated as he leaned in a little closer to Mackenzie. "But not only hot, smart AND nice…"
Mackenzie looked at him and then glared at Kaci. Kaci bit her lip and looked away from her good friend. John also looked at Kaci and then looked at Randy; he jumped out of his seat.
"You were talking about Roddick this whole time?" John asked him.
Randy smirked and gave Mackenzie a peck on the top of her head as he got up and stared over at his friend. He rolled his eyes and looked back down at Mackenzie.
"Of course I was talking about Kenzie, it's not fair you get to have a storyline with a hot woman like herself, and you treat her like crap… she needs someone to treat her right..." Randy stated with a smile and a wink in Kenzie's direction.
"Oh shut up Orton; let's go we have better things to do…" John stated as he went to the door.
"Like what? Be a chauvinist pig?" Mackenzie asked as she glared over at John.
"Very funny Mackenzie… no, like go practice before the show…" He sneered at her.
Before Mackenzie could open her mouth to say anything Randy gave her one of his "Shut Up Now" looks. She closed her mouth and adjuster her shirt and sat back in her chair.
"C'mon Randy let's go before the kitten gets her claws out…" John stated as he opened the door.
John and Randy left; leaving Mackenzie fuming and Kaci was smirking. Kaci walked over to her friend's desk and propped herself up against it.
"You like him." Kaci stated bluntly.
"Like who?" Mackenzie asked shaking her thoughts.
"Jonathan Cena" Kaci stated.
"Like hell I do…" Mackenzie stated as she stood up from her seat and took a sip of her water.
"The way you too hate each other, or act like you hate each other, reminds me of when I was first talking to AJ Styles. We disliked each other like no bodies business, and then three months later, we were hooking up constantly…" Kaci stated with a smirk on her face.
"That was you and AJ Styles, this is me and John Cena… totally different, and Styles was not as much of a jerk as this guy is…" Mackenzie stated.
"Whatever you say Mack, whatever you say…" Kaci stated as she walked back to her desk and sat down.
Later that night…
The cameras followed John Cena as he walked backstage; it was about 20 minutes before he would go on to face the big Red Machine, Kane. He walked up to an office door; the camera zoomed in on the name on the door, 'Mackenzie Roddick.'
He let himself in, startling Mackenzie who nearly jumped out of her seat. She looked up at the man who had just entered her office. She looked up at him and rolled her eyes.
"What do you want John?" She asked him as she tried to focus on her work.
"I want you to change my match for tonight…" John stated.
"What are you talking about Cena?" Mackenzie asked him looking back at the muscular man.
"My match against Kane, I want you to change it…" John told her again.
"I can't do that for you Cena…" She told him truthfully.
"Yes you can…" John told her.
"No, I really can't. If you want to try and get out of your match with Kane, then I suggest you take it up with the General Manager, Shane McMahon…" She told him.
"Why don't you go ask Shane? I'm sure he'd do anything for you, wouldn't he Mackenzie?" John asked him as he leaned over her desk, both hands on top of her desk ruffling up papers underneath him and sneering slightly.
"Seriously Cena, I don't have any control over the matches, what do I look like to you? Certainly not Shane McMahon…." Mackenzie stated as someone walked by her office and peeked in.
"Is there a problem Mack?" A deep voice asked.
John and Mackenzie looked up to see none other than Shane McMahon.
"No, Shane, really Mr. Cena was just about to leave and come speak with you actually…" Mackenzie stated as she threw John a stern glare.
"Well, in that case, c'mon John, I've only got a few minutes before I have to go speak with someone about a match." Shane stated as John glared at Mackenzie as he left.
Mackenzie smiled to herself as she waved to John. The camera's wrapped and Mackenzie went back to actually doing some work.
The week went by and he was starting to do it at house shows, Vince said he didn't want to ruin their flow. So during house shows he would come barging in her office demanding matches, or telling her that she was a terrible writer and that she should start looking for a new job.
It was the next night on Raw and Mackenzie felt like this was lasting forever. She was suppose to be walking down the hall to Shane's office with a proposal that she had been working on and John was suppose to come running down the hallway being chased by someone and knock her over, with papers going flying around everywhere. The next couple of weeks went on like this, John purposely doing things to aggravate her or make her angry.
Mackenzie couldn't stand it anymore and she didn't want to see John Cena off screen as much as she saw him onscreen. She couldn't stand being in the same room as him for more than ten minutes. She was getting ready to go out to lunch with her two close Superstar friends, Randy Orton and David Bautista.
She was wearing a pair of blue jeans, a black off the shoulder shirt with a pair of black boots and her shoulder length dark brown hair was down and curly. She grabbed her purse and called for a cab, she was supposed to be meeting them at a café in Maryland that Dave really liked.
She arrived and saw Randy and Dave sitting outside in the nice June weather. She waved to them as they both got up to greet her. She gave each of them a hug and looked over at Dave.
"Where's Angie? I thought she was coming?" she asked him.
"She was going to but Carly came down with a bad cold…" Dave stated speaking of their, his and Angie's, youngest daughter.
"Awe that sucks…" Mackenzie stated. She sat down with the two large men and they all ordered their food.
"So Mackenzie, any men in your life yet?" Dave asked looking over at her; his dark sunglasses hiding his eyes.
"Who has time for that?" Mackenzie asked with a smirk. "Especially when I have to put up with you two?" Mackenzie asked him. "Seriously if I even thought about dating a guy you guys would scare him off before I had a chance with him…"
"That's not true!" Randy stated with a shocked look on his face.
"Yes it is Randy… so hush…" Mackenzie stated with a smirk on her face.
"I'm not going to lie; I have to scare the living hell out of him… I'll tell them I'm you father, and if they break your heart I'll break their neck… just like with my daughters…" Dave stated with a smirk.
"Yeah sure Dave, like anyone would believe that you're MY father, it's hard enough to believe that Rebecca is your daughter…" Mackenzie stated with a smile on her face.
"I know," He sighed. "My baby is growing up so fast… she's almost twenty-one…" Dave stated.
"Anywho, it's nice to get out with you two, I hardly see you guys anymore. Now that I've got this storyline with Cena…" She stated as she rolled her eyes.
"Come on Kenzie, I've told you before… he's not that bad, he's a really good guy… you just need to give him a chance…" Randy stated. "Besides, I heard that you don't just think I'm hot… you think John's hot as well…" Randy stated with a smug look on his face.
"I swear to god, I'm going to kill Kaci…" Mackenzie stated. "Besides I don't find him attractive, thank you very much… he's an oversized buffoon." Mackenzie stated.
"So you find everyone attractive, but me huh? Thanks Mack" Dave stated with a pout.
"Dave, don't even go there if I called you cute I'd be dead meat!" She stated, Dave pouted at her even more and she smirked at him "Don't make me call Angie…" Mackenzie stated reaching for her purse.
"That phone is to be used for emergencies only!" Dave stated as he swatted Mack's hand away.
"This is an emergency you're being a retard…" Mackenzie stated with a laugh.
"Come on now children…" Randy stated with a huge smile on his face.
"What are you so smiley for?" Dave asked him.
"Because… I think Mackenzie really does have a crush on the oversized buffoon…" Randy stated as he looked over at Mackenzie, who was trying to ignore him. "Don't you Kenzie?"
"Shut up Orton, or I'm going to put you in a storyline with Candice Michelle…" She stated as she looked over at the young Orton.
"You wouldn't dare…" Randy stated as he glared at her playfully.
"You know I would… because I just love ya that much!" She stated with an evil grin on her face.
"You suck!" Randy stated as he threw a french fry at her head. She rolled her eyes at the young man and her cheeks turned a shade of pink. "See look, she's blushing…" Randy pointed out to Dave.
"Leave her alone…" Dave stated as he looked over at the young superstar.
"Yeah, leave me alone!" Mackenzie stated as she smiled kindly at Dave.
"If she likes the buffoon then let her, he won't get near her if I have anything to do with it. Especially with the way he treats her…" Dave stated with a small smirk. "Don't worry Mack; Papa Bautista will save you from the oversize buffoon." He stated as he ruffled her curly hair.
"So does that mean you're going to come to Raw and kill him for me then?" She asked him hopefully.
"I would love to, since now thanks to you, I am a bad guy and all…" Dave stated. "But I've got my own good guys to beat up on SmackDown!" He stated with a short chuckle.
"You're no fun, how about you Randy? You going to save your bestest friend?" She asked fluttering her eyelashes at him.
"You know I love ya and all, but I've got beef to settle with my pops…" He stated winking at her.
Mackenzie just rolled her eyes at the two large men and continued talking and eating. They were done eating and were talking about what they were going to do next.
"Dave, Randy! What's up guys?" They heard a booming voice from behind them.
Dave glared over at Randy; he knew he had invited him because of Mackenzie. He had no idea what Randy was up to, but he was sure it wasn't good. Mackenzie's eyes grew wide as she realized who the voice belonged to; she too glared over at Randy who just sat looking very innocent.
"What is SHE doing here?" The voice asked as he approached the table, making himself known.
"I was eating lunch with me friends, what are you doing here?" She asked him as she glared up in to his blue eyes.
"I was coming to hang out with MY friends…" John stated. "I can't believe you invited her out with us…" John stated as he looked at Randy.
"John, she's our friend too…" Dave stated as he looked up at the Ex- WWE Champion.
"Yeah well I don't associate with the likes of her…" John stated as he turned his back against her.
"You are acting like a child John," Mackenzie stated as she looked up at the man she detested.
"Either she goes… or I go…" John stated as he looked at his best friend.
"You know what, if you're going to act like this I don't want to be around anyway… Dave, Randy thank you for inviting me to lunch; It was great getting to hang out with you guys again, I'll see you later…" She stated as she got up and grabbed her purse.
"How are you getting to the hotel?" Dave asked her.
"I'll call a cab…" She stated as she pushed in her chair and looked at the large man.
"Nonsense I'll take you and I'll meet up with these guys later…" Dave offered.
"No Dave, really its ok, you don't have to…" Mackenzie stated as she watched him get up.
"You be quiet and let someone do something nice for you for a change…" Dave stated as he looked at John and Randy. "I'll call you after I drop her off…"
"Bye, thanks for lunch again Randy… I appreciate it!" She smiled as she walked over to him and gave him a tight hug.
"Not a problem babe, anything for you!" He state with a wink.
Dave guided Mackenzie to his car as the two got in and drove away.
"John, you need to start being nice to her… she's a really good person. Stop being so damn bitter…" Randy stated as he paid for the bill.
"Yeah well she doesn't have to be such a bitch to me…" John stated as he got up and followed his friend to a local shop.
"Did you ever realize that maybe she's a bitch to you because you're such an asshole to her?" Randy stated.
"I'm not an ass to her…" John stated as he looked at his best friend.
"Yes you are, just a few minutes ago you were an ass to her. You made yourself look like a freaking baby…" Randy stated as he looked at a collared shirt.
"I can't help it, she drives me nuts Rand" John stated. "She's always got something smart to say… she thinks she's the shit because she's got it good with McMahon…"
"John did you ever stop and think why she's so close with the McMahon's? Do you ever hear her talk about her parents?" Randy stated as he stopped and looked at his friend.
"No, I don't talk to her, and I can't stand to be around her snooty ass…" John stated as he looked Randy in the eye.
"John she's close to the McMahon's because their the only family she's ever had really… her parents died when she was 12… she lived with her aunt her entire life, and then she went to school with Stephanie and they became good friends… then McMahon took her in almost as his own on holidays and what not… that's why she's in with the McMahon's." Randy stated, almost getting frustrated with his best friend.
"Oh…" John stated almost feeling bad about the things he just said.
"Exactly…" Randy stated as he turned back to the clothes he was looking at.
"But she's still a bitch to me…" John stated as he looked around as well.
"John, grow up, not all woman are going to fawn at you and ask you to give it to them… not all woman are going to like you… I unfortunately had to find that out…" Randy stated. "The hard way."
"I don't want her to like me like that… I don't want anything to do with her…" John stated as he glared at his friend, whom he knew was right, but didn't want to admit it.
"Are you sure about that man?" Randy asked him. "She's a very good looking woman… with a lot of brains…" Randy told him.
"Whatever, I don't even look at her like that…" John stated as he tried to fight his best friend's looks.
"Right, those long lean legs of hers, those light brown eyes, her tanned skin… of course… I wouldn't want to look at her like that either…" Randy stated sarcastically.
"Damn it Randy, what do you want me to say, huh?" John asked him.
"I want you to admit that you have the hots for Mackenzie…" Randy stated. "That's why you bug her all the time. You like to see her, that's the only way you get away with looking at her, is because you torment the poor child…" Randy stated.
"Fine, you want to hear it?" John asked him. Randy nodded his head. "Alright, I Jonathan Cena, have the hots for Mackenzie Roddick…alright… are you happy?"
"I'm fabulous…" Randy stated as he smiled at his best friend brightly.
"That doesn't mean I'm going to be any nicer to her…" John stated.
"Shut up… lets go find out where Dave's at!" Randy stated as he and John left the store they were in.
