Sept 3rd:

Aria sat in Randy's dressing room staring at the TV. She couldn't focus on the show that night. Guilt and shame filled her very core. Thoughts of the night before kept popping up into her mind. Between the kiss with Randy, and ending up in his bed again, she was so sick she didn't know if she was going to remember her lines tonight.

A knocking at the door snapped her out of her thoughts. Aria got the door, and it was just a member of the stage crew letting her know that it was almost her time to go out. Looking over her lines one last time, her fears vanished and she put her game face on.

RECORDING;

Triple H had just finished announcing his 'rewards' to the superstars who spoke up.

"What You Want" by Evanesence came on, and Aria walked out.

The superstars walked out of her way as she walked to the mic. "You know what I REALLY hate about management Hunter? Y'all think you can just walk around, and fire people with no concerns of contracts, or how it could affect a person's personal life."

"I could see where that could be a concern of yours Ariana. However-" HHH started, but Aria cut him off.

"Shut up, I'm not done." She said glaring at the COO. This earned a collective cheer from the audience. "See, everyone thinks Randy's just your puppet, and you know they're right. I'm guessing everyone saw the clip that was a WWE APP exclusive, so they know that Randal and I are together." This caused the crowed to boo. "Yeah, I get it, I'm great, but he sucks. Anyways, I don't like this monster you're creating, and quite frankly, I think Orton could have beat Daniel on his own without your help Hunter."

"What's your point here Adriana?" Triple H asked getting irritated.

"My point is COO's are meant to stay in the office, and out of the ring. So, why don't you and Steph go back to Connecticut, and let the professionals handle that pretty little square you're standing in." The crowed erupted in cheers.

"You know it's our job to over look things. It's our job to make sure matches happen, and entertainment is given. We can't do that behind a desk, in an office that's sometimes across the country or across the world. That's not how this job works Ariana, and I don't appreciate you coming out here trying to tell me how to do my job."

"Someone has to tell you how to do it." Ariana said sharply. "Considering you aren't aware of what's best for business."

"You know Aria," Hunter started in a nice voice. "I like you a lot, you're quite feisty, and you kind of remind me of myself."

"Please take that back before I barf." Aria said rolling her eyes.

"As I was saying, I like you, so I'm going to reward you as well."

"Exactly how do you plan on rewarding me Hunter." She said sarcastically.

"You get to be Randy's escort tonight." He said with a giant grin. "Now, here is your WWE Champion Randy Orton!"

Randy's music hit, and he went up to Aria, putting his hand on her lower back. He smirked at her, grabbed her arm and dragged her down to the ring.

*Commercial*

Aria sat ring side, not even bothering to watch the match. She pretended to be completely board on her phone.

It continued on like this until she saw Del Rio throw Rodriguez into the steel pole. She jumped up to help him, and at the same time RVD flipped over the rope to knock out Del Rio. All in the process of this Aria got kicked in the head by RVD and Del Rio landed on her.

Randy got out and slammed RVD into the announce table. Then went over to Del Rio and threw him into the barricade. Quickly he threw RVD back in the ring, and finished the match.

Randy slid out of the ring to Aria who was still lying on the ground. "Baby, are you alright?" Randy said trying to stand her up. Aria tried to push him away, and when she did it just caused her to fall back into him. He picked her up bridle style and carried her up the ramp.

NOT RECORDING:

Randy set her down once they were behind the curtain. "Seriously, are you okay?"

"Yeah, but fuck that boot to the head hurt." Aria said holding her head.

"So, where'd you go last night?" Randy asked her.

Aria sighed, she was afraid he'd ask her this all night. "Look, Randy-" She started, but stage crew came up to them.

"Your dad wants to see you in his office." Jim said. "Then you guys have your promo in half an hour. It will be in Randy's locker room."

"Thanks Jim." They said in unison.

"We'll talk after our promo?" Aria asked Randy. He nodded his head, and she walked to her dad's office.

(!)

"Do you really want to do this Aria?" Paul asked for the hundredth time. "You're pushing back the huge push we're giving you by doing this."

"Look dad, as much as I want my push, I need my revenge even more." Aria said running her hand through her hair. "Can you just do this for me, please?"

Paul sighed looking to his wife who had quietly been watching the two go back and forth with each other for the last fifteen minutes. Stephanie nodded her head of approval. "Alright, we'll do it."

Aria hugged her mom and dad, thanking them, and headed off to Randy's locker room for their promo.

As she went to open the door Milena (Rosa Mendes) walked out looking like she had just been hit by a truck. "Oh, hi Aria." She said blushing and running off.

Milena may have looked like she got hit by a truck, but Aria FELT like she had been hit by one.

Aria walked into the locker room, not even bothering to look at Randy. She would have never even gone back in if their promo wasn't about to start.

PROMO RECORDING:

"Why won't you talk to me? You act like I'm the one who kicked you!" Randy said to Aria who was currently lying down holding her head.

"Randy, you finished the match before even bothering to check on me." Aria said, sounding deadly. "Again, what happens in the ring is all that matters to you." She got up, brushing past him. She went to walk out the door, but stopped and turned to face Randy again. "I get that you're champion, and that this is your job, but that title isn't always going to be on your shoulder, Randy. So start figuring out where your true priorities are."

Aria kissed him on the cheek, and left the locker room. Randy just sat there clenching his jaw; he looked over to his title, picked it up, and looked back towards the door.

PROMO OVER:

Randy waited for Aria to come back so they could talk, but she never did. He knew she saw Milena walk out of his dressing room, and that this just proved how right Aria was about him.

(!)

Aria was lucky enough to get her own room for the night. She had already grabbed her bags from the room her and Randy were supposed to share.

In all honestly Aria had no right to be mad at Randy. She was in another man's bed last night after all. At the same time, she wasn't the one trying to prove herself to him. It was only last night that he had asked her to allow him in, to prove himself worthy, and to make her fall…

"I know you don't trust me Aria, but please give me the chance to prove to you that I am not the man you think I am." Randy said holding Aria's hand.

"Randy, you can't honestly expect me to believe that you have changed." Aria said pulling her hand away.

"I have! If you opened up to me, if you allowed me to show you, and if you'd just allow yourself to fall you would see that." Randy said pulling her body against his. "Just fall." He kissed her, and she kissed him back. It took Aria a moment to realize what was happening and pushed Randy away.

"I can't Randy." She said, and left the room.

Aria was snapped out of her thoughts by her phone going off. It was a text from Randy. He had been texting her all night, and she had yet to reply.

Randy: Where are you?

Randy: I thought we were going to talk?

Randy: Aria, please talk to me.

Randy: Milena was nothing, I'm sorry. Please… Aria…

Randy: Where is your stuff? Why did you go? Please talk to me.

Aria almost text back being a smart ass, but thought better of it. She had only let Randy into her life for a week, and he already broke her heart. That said a lot to her, and it'd be better to cut him out now than later.

Aria scrolled through her contacts, when she found who she was looking for she started at the name for a few seconds before finally dialing out the number.

"Well, well, well, looking for round two?" He answered

"Here or there?"

"I'll come to you."

"Midnight." With that she ended the call.

This road she was taking was risky, but she knew it wouldn't cause her the emotional pain that would come along with Orton.

A/N: Honestly though, you're wondering who it is right?
