Mickie James sat in a bar not too far away from the arena that No Way Out was tapped in. She needed a few drinks after that fluke victory that little bitch AJ got over her. And Mara wasn't any help either! She wouldn't strip her of the title, she automatically refused. What the fuck was up with Mara these days? She was the General Manager so that should mean smooth sailing for Mickie but it's just been a rough ride!
"Mickie, I'm not going to strip her of her title, she beat you fair and square! You lost to her, you have another chance to get your title back, but that's it! If you lose your rematch then there's nothing else I can do for you! I'm sorry." Mara's voice rang in her head, after hearing those words, the former women's champion pushed her boss to the wall and stomped out her office. Now she sat here being hit on by intoxicated men. For some reason, no matter how much she drank she couldn't get drunk tonight. Downing her seventh cup, she got off the bar stool and left the money on the table.
Randy walked through the hallways of the empty arena. He had a faint memory of which every door lead to. He walked around until he found what used to be the locker room. He opened the door, nothing. She wasn't there. He walked around some more until he heard the faint sound of a woman groaning. He followed the noise into a dimly lit hallway and opened each door until he saw her.
She sat on the concrete floor with her legs crossed under her. Her Jacket was thrown to the side and her shirt was unbuttoned enough that her purple bra could be clearly seen. She didn't even notice him as she was so engrossed in the papers scattered around her.
"Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan…approved… John Cena vs. CM Punk… approved…"
"Hey" He made her head snap up to his direction, what was a small smile quickly dropped to a look of disgust and disappointment.
"May I help you with something Mr. Orton?" She was suddenly so formal with him. He rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Mara-"
"Miss James to you!" She looked at him thorough slits.
"MARA!" He challenged, "I can't believe you'd do that."
"So what?"
"What was that outside at the Ring?"
"I was being a fair General Manager Randy! I was not going to let Christian lose his title because of that referee's incompetence!" She hurriedly picked up the papers to put then in her briefcase when he came closer to her.
"I'm not talking about that, Mara." He put a hand on her arm, pleased with the fact that she didn't slap it away. "What was with the hostility? When you came out there you sounded like you hated me."
"Well, you're not the first person on my list of amazing people right now." She continued stuffing the papers in the brief case so she could finally leave. The warm hands placed over hers made her slow her pace to a full stop.
"Why won't you talk to me?"
"Why would you do that to Mickie and then lie to me about it?"
"How exactly do you know I'm lying? How do you know that she's telling the truth?"
"Because Mickie wouldn't lie to me! She's my family; we don't do that to each other."
"Why are you so hung up over what Mickie wants? She's using you! She's making you into a fool. I never cheated on her! She's the one that double crossed me!" He tried to get the truth out to her but she just had too much respect for her cousin to believe it.
"Oh please Randy!"
"You can ask anyone in the locker room what happened between Mickie and I, they'll tell you the same thing."
"I really don't want to talk about this right now." She looked away from him. There was no way she could look into his eyes, she'd burst into tears. Randy was the only real boyfriend she ever had, the others were either jerks or using her to get to Mickie. If she looked directly at him right now, she's give in. You can't give in! Mickie will hate you forever!
"Mara… please look at me, I really like you, and I've never felt this way about anyone they way I've felt about you. I'm sorry I said what I said about Mickie, but, you've got to understand! She's not the best cousin someone would ask for." He was being sincere, and just to show her that, without warning, he kissed her and he smiled to himself when she didn't pull away, maybe there was still hope for them after all.
Mickie James walked out of the Arena parking lot into the arena itself. She was too sober for her liking. Her vehicle was still there which meant Mara was still inside with her keys. Maybe she should treat the kid to something, introduce her to someone, she never actually had a boyfriend, it was pretty pathetic. She walked through the dim halls. She could easily pull out her phone and dial the woman but what fun would that be. She came upon a familiar hallway; it was either where the divas locker room was or where the GM's office was. Coming closer to the door, she could hear soft moans. Probably AJ paying off her debt for winning her title. Her thoughts belittled the new women's champion. She snuck her phone out of her pocket and readied the camera app. slowly opening the door her eyes grew wider seeing the two of them in the bare concrete floor intimately touching each other. The side eyes immediately turned into slits of anger.
She snapped a few pictures and angrily walked out to parking lot area and called Mara. As she thought about how the 'big boss' would be startled out of her little love session with the Viper made her even more mad.
"Get your ass out here now! We need to be at the airport!" Mickie screamed into the phone and kicked the front wheel of the car. She angrily tapped the screen and shoved the phone back into her bag. She ran a hand though her hair out of frustration before hitting the hood with a balled fist. Mara was going to pay for this… No doubt she'll pay for this!
Mara hurriedly walked out of the Arena with her briefcase and phone in her hand. She sighed at an extremely sour and frustrated Mickie, she didn't want to tell her about the little confrontation she just had with Randy for fear she'd over react. Based on Mara's experience Mickie was a wonderful person, always helpful and caring. And Mara owed her life to her. She was rescued by Mickie when the current of the ocean water pulled her too far out. Mickie saved her life, and she'd forever be grateful to her for that.
WWE HEADQUARTERS
"Thank you for coming to us with this… interesting bit of news Mickie, we shall analyze it, whey out the good and the bad, and we shall speak to the General Manager about this disgusting act."
"Thank you! I really am concerned about the fairness and the well being of the rest of the WWE roster. I believe that everyone should be treated fairly. And please, keep my name out of it. I'd rather not have anyone know I was the one that brought this up." The woman said sweetly. When she said Tamara was going to pay for this, she wasn't kidding. Say goodbye to your job Mara… it's time you got a reality check!
