**Seven Years Later**
I quietly walked up to him and jumped on his back, startling him.
"What the fuck?" he yelled before turning around.
I quickly jumped off of him and started laughing as he stood there glaring at me.
"I am SOO gonna get you back for that Marie" He said
"OOOO I'm sooo scared." I said laughing some more.
Before I knew it he lunged at me and I hauled ass out of the room and down the stairs to the living room, him chasing the whole way. He chased me around the couch a few times before I managed to escape back up the stairs and back into my room. Big mistake. He was blocking the doorway so I now had no where to run. I backed up further into the room as he slowly walked towards me until I hit the bed. He was inches away from me then backed up a few steps, making me think he was gonna let me off the hook. Not. He quickly grabbed me and started tickling me. I fell backwards onto the bed with him still tickling me.
"Randy stop!" I yelled through my laughter and trying to push him off of me.
After a few minutes he finally stopped to catch his breath, but he didn't get off of me. He just stared at me, panting. I stared back, his blue eyes piercing through mine. He was inches from my face and I couldn't seem to catch my breath. I got this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something I've never felt around Randy before. I couldn't help but notice, for the second time today, how good looking he truly was. My eyes wandered to his lips, and I found myself wondering what it would be like to kiss him.
As he lowered his face closer to mine my eyes slowly shut, and before I knew it, his lips lightly brushed against mine. I felt my heart rate quicken to a rapid pace. He closed what little gap was remaining and kissed me. My head started spiraling out of control and I felt like my heart was gonna pop out of my chest. The kiss was so soft, so gentle. Yet full of passion at the same time. Everything around me seemed to disappear and time seemed to stop.
My eyes shot open and I quickly sat up. It had been seven years since I'd seen Randy. Six since I last talked to him. After I went to back to Minneapolis and Randy left for OVW, we tried as hard as we could to stay in touch. But we were both so busy that we kinda just faded out of each others' lives. Leaving Randy was one was of the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. Tears threatened to fall as I thought of the all the time I had with Randy and as I wondered where we would be today if I hadn't gone to college. Would we still be together? Or would something else have come between us?
As the years passed it became easier. I stopped crying myself to sleep every night and I was slowly becoming the happy person I always used to be. The dreams of me and Randy stopped coming as often. But when they did, that's when I started wondering. I have never stopped missing him. Or loving him for that matter. But things changed and fate tore us apart.
I was distracted from my thoughts when I heard snoring next to me. I looked over and saw Justin, my boyfriend of a year, sleeping peacefully next to me. It was weird, after I met him, the dreams started coming back more often. Sometimes they were simple memories of when me and Randy were kids, some were him comforting me when I was upset, and other times it was the day I left. For good. But tonight had been a first. Tonight was the first time I had a dream of the first time we kissed. Remembering that day brought unwanted tears to my eyes. I didn't wanna love him. It wasn't fair to Justin, who had no idea of my past with Randy.
He knows who my father is and that I have met a lot of the wrestlers, but that's as far as it goes. I had told my family not to mention anything about Randy when Justin was around. Not that they mentioned him much anyways, since they knew it brought back memories that I didn't wanna remember.
I sat there thinking for about another hour and finally fell back to sleep. The smell of bacon hitting my nose made my eyes flutter open the next morning. I walked out to the kitchen and smiled when I saw Justin cooking breakfast. He must of heard me coming cause he turned around and smiled.
"Morning sleepy head, hungry?" he asked
"Morning babe, and yes, very hungry"
"I figured that you have a long day today and you needed breakfast"
"Your so sweet" I said walking over and giving him a kiss.
After I finished with college I got accepted to go to FCW to continue my training. And today was gonna be long and brutal.
I ate my breakfast then went up to hop in the shower. When I got out I changed into my workout clothes and stuffed my ring gear in my bag. I grabbed my keys, kissed Alex goodbye, and headed out the door.
When I got to the arena I headed to locker room to set my stuff down. I walked in and saw my best friend Sophia sitting there. We started around the same time and we instantly clicked.
"Hey Ria"
"Hey Soph, what's the plan for today?"
"Not really sure yet, they haven't told us much. But Dave is looking for you."
"Really? Did he say why?"
"Nope, just told me that when I saw you to let you know he was looking for you."
"OK, is he still here or did he already leave?"
"He left but he's coming back."
"OK then. Ready to head out there so I can kick your ass again?" I said jokingly
"No, but I AM ready to go and kick YOUR ass" she joked back
We headed to the ring to practice. Thankfully there wasn't anyone there yet. We went back forth for quite a while when suddenly I heard someone call out for me.
"Marie," came the familiar voice of Dave. "Come here I need to talk to you!"
I got outta the ring and headed over to where Dave was standing.
"What's up Dave?"
"Come to my office, there's a call for you"
I followed Dave to his office and once I sat down he handed me the phone.
"Hello?" I spoke into the phone
"Hello Miss Flair, this is Vince McMahon.
I was startled for a moment but quickly came too and continued to listen.
"We would like to offer you a contract with the WWE on our Raw brand."
I was shocked. I had always dreamed of making it to the WWE. Ever since I was a little girl. After I was talking to Vince I hung up and let out the scream I had been fighting to hold in for ten minutes. After discussing a few things with Dave I ran to the locker room to tell Sophia. She was getting changed into her work out clothes when I ran in.
"OH MY GOD! SOPHIA YOU'RE NEVER GONNA BELLIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" I yelled
"What happened Marie?"
"VINCE MCMAHON JUST CALLED! THEY WANT ME ON RAW!"
Her mouth dropped in shock. When she recovered she screamed and hugged me.
"Congratulations Hun! I'm so proud of you!"
"Thanks Soph. OK, I gotta go, Dave gave me the rest of the day off and I wanna go tell Justin and call my dad and Aunt Kathy."
"OK. Wait, Marie, I have a quick question"
"Yeah?"
"Isn't Randy on Raw?"
My heart stopped. In all my excitement I had completely forgotten that Randy was on Raw. Sophia was the only person besides my family that knew about my past with Randy.
"Yeah, he is. I gotta face him sometime. It's not like we ended on bad terms. Well, I mean we kinda did, but only cause of the circumstances. But we didn't end things bitterly."
"OK, I was just wondering. Now get and go tell your man the great news!" She said laughing
I smiled at her, grabbed my stuff, and headed out the door. I couldn't wait to tell everyone. And a small part of me couldn't wait to see Randy.
I called my Dad on my way home and told him the news. He was ecstatic of course. After that I called my aunt and uncle, who were also thrilled about it. Now all that was left was Justin.
I got home and ran in the house.
"Justin!" I yelled walking into the kitchen
"Coming Babe, what are you doing home so early?" he asked
"Well, me and Sophia were in the ring practicing when Dave came in and called me into his office cause I had a phone call. You're never gonna guess who it was!"
"Who was it?"
"It was Vince McMahon!"
"Really? What did he want?"
"He wants me on Raw"
"Wow, really?"
"Yeah, isn't that amazing?"
"Yeah, it is, but, you're not gonna go are you?"
I looked at him shocked. Did I really just hear him right?"
"What do you mean I'm not gonna go? Justin I have been dreaming about making into the WWE since I was little. I want to follow in my father's footsteps. This is what I have been training for my whole life. And you expect me not to go? You know how much this means to me Justin!" I almost yelled
"And it has nothing to do with the fact that Randy Orton is there?"
"What are you talking about Justin?"
"I overheard you talking to Sophia one night, I heard you tell her how you and Randy dated for three years! At least then I understood why you HAD to watch raw every Monday, and why when he came out your eyes never once left the tv! So excuse me if I don't want you to go Marie!"
I can't believe he knew. All this time I thought he had no idea but he knew all along. But was he seriously trying to keep me from my dreams just cause of that?
"So what Justin! Yeah, me and Randy dated for three years, big freaking whoop! Me and him broke up SEVEN YEARS AGO! I haven't talked to him in almost SIX YEARS! So what if I didn't tell you! I didn't think it was necessary and it's not exactly something I like remembering cause it was one of the hardest things I have EVER had to do! He was more than just my boyfriend. He was my BEST FRIEND! And I left it all behind so I could go to college and so he could go to OVW." I said trying to fight back the tears that were forming.
"You still love him Marie! Otherwise you wouldn't be so fixated on him every time you see him on tv. If you didn't still love him you would have told me about him in the first place! I don't want you to go Marie!"
"I can't believe you're being like this Justin! You would actually try and keep me from my living my dreams for your own selfish reasons!"
"If you go, then you'll never see me again Marie. So you better think long and hard about your decision. I'm not gonna stand by while you go off the same place as your ex that you're still in love with."
"Get out."
"What?"
"I said get out! You're right Justin, I do still love Randy, he was my first love and I will ALWAYS love him. We may not have always agreed on everything, but the one thing he would NEVER do, is keep me from living my dreams. We broke up because we were letting each other fulfill our dreams. And now here you are, making me choose between my dream job and you. So get out of my house." I said still struggling to hold back the tears.
"You're gonna regret this Marie. One day you'll look back and you'll realize that you made the biggest mistake of your life by leaving me."
He grabbed his keys and left, not bothering to get any of his stuff. As soon as he left I fell to the ground and let the tears that I had been holding back fall. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. What should have been one of the best days of my life turned into something horrible.
Later that night I was in the living room watching tv and thinking about everything that had happened today when my phone rang. I looked to see who was calling and saw that it was Sophia.
"Hey Soph" I said trying to sound happy.
"What's wrong Ria?" She asked.
She always seemed to know when something was wrong, no matter how hard I tried to hide it.
"Justin left."
"What do you mean he left?"
"I mean he wanted me to choose between going to the WWE and being with him. So I told him to leave."
"Oh sweetie I'm so sorry, why would he do that?"
"He knows about Randy. He heard me talking to you about him one night and he doesn't want me to go because Randy's there."
"He's an asshole honey, if he is gonna make you choose, then he doesn't deserve you. At all."
"I know, I just don't get it. I mean me and Randy broke up because we didn't WANT to stop each other from living our dreams, and now me and Justin break up because he's holding me back from it. It just doesn't make any sense to me Soph."
I talked to Sophia for a little while longer and when we hung up I went to my room and went straight to bed.
*Randy's POV*
"Hey Randy!" came the voice of John Cena from down the hall.
"What's up John" I said as I got to where he was standing.
"Vince is lookin for ya. Says its important."
"K"
"So did you hear they signed a new diva this morning?"
"Yeah. Like there aren't enough already. Most of the ones that are here now can't wrestle for shit. They sign them cause they're hot, that's it."
"Maybe she'll be different. Guess we'll have to wait and find out."
"Yeah guess so. Well I'll see ya later" I said as we neared Vince's office.
"K, later man."
He walked away and I knocked on Vince's door.
"Come in!" He yelled
I walked in and sat down.
"Randy, just the man I wanted to see. You've got a new storyline comin up, starting next week"
"What is it?"
"I'm sure you've heard by now that we have signed a new diva to the roster," he started
"Whoa, Vince, seriously? I don't have time to be baby sitting anyone, especially not some diva who probably can't even wrestle, just like all the rest of them."
"I had a feeling you might say that, but don't worry, I've watching this girl for a few years now. She's got what it takes to make it in this business, and I think the two of you could really make an impact here. She's been trained by the best."
"Seeing as I know don't have a choice, who is she?" I said sighing, knowing there was nothing I could say to change his mind.
"You'll find out next week. I want it to be a surprise to everyone, including all of you."
"Fine. Is there anything else?"
"No, that's all for tonight. You can go."
I got up and walked out and went to my locker room.
Great. Just what I need. Oh well. Not really anything I can do about it. Who could it be though?
My thoughts were interrupted by John walking in the room.
"Hey man, so what did Vince want?" he asked
"To let me know that I'm starting a new storyline next week. With the new diva."
"Oh. Sorry dude. Did he say who she was?"
"Nope, but he said she wasn't like the rest of them. He also said that she was trained by some of the best. I can't help wonder who she is."
"Well that could be anyone. Hell for all we know it coulda been Flair that trained her" He said jokingly.
Flair. As soon as he said that I thought about Marie. I haven't talked to her in six years. We had tried to stay in touch after we broke up, but we both got so busy we just kinda slipped further and further away.
Maybe it's her. Nah, I doubt it. It couldn't be her. I woulda heard something about it. Wouldn't I? No, it definitely couldn't be her.
I was probably only having these thoughts cause of the dreams I've been having about her. I'd had them quite a few times this year. Most of them were about the day I first kissed her, and others were of the day she left.
I finally came to the conclusion that it wasn't her and went on with my night. I would just have to wait until next week to find out it was.
