Okay, so a week something later. . . Haha. This is just kind of a filler, since it was so long and I didn't feel the need to make it like 5,000 words. The roadtrip will be the next chapter! :) I only own Aurelia Carson! I hope you all enjoy!
Once the Tuesday sun rose, signaling the new day, Randy quickly jerked the curtains to the side causing the hotel room to illuminate. The loud groans of protests from Ted's lips prompted an amused grin to spread over the elder superstar's, who slowly walked towards the circular table tucked away in the corner. Tightly gripping the bottle of Advil perched on the edge, he darted it in the young generation star's direction, causing it to ricochet off of his head and fall down to the floor. Another loud groan fell from Ted's lips, prompting a mess of blonde hair to pop up from the floor on the far side of Ted's bed. Randy's eyebrow slowly lifted upwards in question, simply causing the blonde to simply nod her head in the direction of Ted's groans. "He kicked me out of MY bed."
"And the cou - " Randy began upon slowly lifting a hand, pointer finger extended towards the pull-out couch on the opposite side of the wall.
"Couldn't get it open in the dark." Aurelia interrupted, her eyes flickering towards the couch in disdain - her face clearly showing it as her upper lip raised. Slowly lifting herself upwards, Aurelia scowled down at Ted's curled body, roughly grabbing at the ends of the covers to expose him to the morning sun spilling in from the clear windows. "Oops. Now, did I do that?"
"Hell, that's where you're going." Ted muttered into his pillow, flopping dramatically to his stomach as he began to release a mumbled slur of profanities into the cotton beneath his mouth. Rolling her eyes, Aurelia simply waved her hand in her friend's direction before nodding her head towards the bathroom. As Randy's mouth slowly fell ajar, Ted tossed a dramatic hand in the air to wave it around - demanding the attention of his two roommates. "I call shower first!"
"Frankly, you can suck on my dick, Theodore." Aurelia muttered as she leaned forward to swat Ted's leg roughly whilst rolling her eyes casually. Slowly trudging in the direction of her suitcase, she flopped the top open to riffle through the mess of clothing scattered on the top, eyebrow lifting upwards slowly. Craning her neck, she momentarily shot a stare full of metaphorical daggers in Ted's direction. Lifting a hand up in the air, she wagged it between the two males with a small chuckle. "You see, you two fools can leave whenever you want, I'm meeting somebody downstairs in a bloody hour, and being six hours late is hardly the impression that I want to set."
"Who the Hell do you have to meet?" Ted questioned groggily as he slowly lifted upwards to a sitting position, snatching the Advil off of the floor to pop the cap open before spilling several pills into the palm of his hand. His eyes slowly fixated upon Aurelia's face, a short smirk developing over her lips as Ted's mouth dropped ajar several centimeters. "If it has a penis, I'm cutting it off and shoving it right down their throat, in hopes that they fucking choke on it, I hope you - "
"He's innocent." Randy murmured from the side. "Trust me. I hunted that sad little puppy down this morning to question his motives."
"Randal fucking Keith!" Aurelia hissed, her eyes darting in the older man's direction as he simply lifted his hands, palms jutting out in her direction with an innocent gaze. "I can watch out for myself, thank you very goddamned much. Allow me to clarify a couple of things for you fools. One, Kevin has saved me numerous times from fucking punching some hard object - so thank him for doing that job for you. Two, he has a girlfriend - there are no motives, other than mutually-agreed-upon friendship. Three, as much as I want to…" She paused, eyes darting back down to her suitcase.
"As much as you want to what?" Randy probed, his fatherly tone lacing thickly in his words. Aurelia slowly twirled around, her rear end pressing against the oak of the dresser her Louis suitcase was settled upon.
"As much as she wants to fuck!" Teddy remarked brightly, shooting both hands in the air prompting Randy to release a guttural growl, eyes fixating upon Aurelia's red cheeks. Aurelia immediately tossed her hands to her face, releasing a loud sigh into her palms. "Told you!"
"Do I look like Maryse to you? I don't ruin relationships, most importantly. And two, if Mike never got his precious little 'venture in,' then why in the blue fucking Hell do you think I would allow Kevin to get in immediately? Your logic is not only ridiculous, but it's full of holes." Aurelia remarked with a huff, stamping her foot to the ground as she lowered her arms to cross them over her chest. Slowly twirling on her feet, she quickly jerked several articles of clothing from her bag to sashay towards the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. Pausing, she pressed the lock in before shoving her shoulder blades to the door, her eyebrow raising. "But I would TOTALLY fucking die if I saw him naked."
"AURELIA RENEE CARSON!" Randy's voice broke through the door, prompting a slur of giggles to fall from the young woman's lips as she dropped the clothes on the sink, turning to the shower to flick it on.
"If he says anything to you that's offensive - "
"A-K-A, If he has a nice joke about bitches - "
"Ted, shut the fuck up." Randy remarked sternly, his eyes jerking over in the younger generation star's direction. Ted simply chuckled, his eyes rolling as his strong arms crossed over his chest, one arm quickly shooting upwards as he extended his pointer finger in his mentor's face, waggling it from side to side.
"You, need to stop being such a fucking party pooper." Ted remarked, pressing past his friend as he snatched his suitcase from the dresser, dropping it down to the floor as he twirled around to inspect the duo behind him. Randy simply growled, turning his attention back to Aurelia who stood in front of him with a flattened expression.
"Ted, I will fucking hang you by your nostrils in front of every person in the locker room if you don't zip your lips. If he offends you in any way, you call me. You ask him to pull over, and I'll pull a fucking Flair. I'll rip him out of his goddamned car, and I'll beat him senseless. Do you understand me?"
"But if he tosses you into the backseat and indulges you, just give us a wave of the hand through the window and we'll carry on." Ted replied with a toothy grin, immediately wincing once Randy's palm ricocheted off of the back of his friend's skull. "What the actual fuck? What did I do to deserve that? Love too much!"
"If he puts his hands on you, and I find out, I will personally snap his neck." Randy remarked, ignoring his friend as he focused upon the young blonde in front of him. Lifting his hands upwards, he placed them upon her shoulders as he took in a small sigh. "You're seriously going to be the reason I have a heart attack before my own kid even has the opportunity to go to her first homecoming dance."
"I'm not even doing anything!" Aurelia protested, her eyes flickering away from Randy's cool blue's. He chuckled softly, his muscular arms wrapping around her neck as he tugged her tightly into a hug. "I'm not four, Randal Keith. I'll fare just fine. Kevin's one of those. . . Respectful guys, you know? Savin' me from my doom - "
"Your prince at the bottom of your castle, there to save you when you fall." Randy interrupted, his eyes fixating upon Aurelia's face as he jerked her backwards to momentarily gaze into her eyes. "I'm buying you a fucking chastity belt."
"Randal - "
"Do you have any idea how many broads I gave that line to before?" He questioned, his eyebrow shooting upwards. Ted chuckled in the background, yelping out in pain another time as Randy quickly brought a hand up to slap his palm roughly against Ted's skull.
"Abusive serial rapist!"
"Godfuckingdamnit, DiBiase!" Randy hissed, twirling around upon releasing his grip on Aurelia's small frame. Aurelia simply chuckled, clutching at her purse as she tossed it over her shoulder taking several small steps back as Randy stalked towards his younger friend, who simply smirked at the escaping woman behind him. "I'm trying to make a fucking point!"
"Blah, blah, blah. Randy no like boys near Aurelia, Randy smash!" Ted mocked, tossing his hands to his chest to beat against his pectoral muscles. Quickly twirling around, Ted dashed to the bed to jump on the top as Randy dived in his direction, forcing the tattooed man to eat the ground. Quickly twirling around, Aurelia slammed the door behind her, chuckling at the slur of profanities falling from Randy's lips before her face collided with a familiar chest. Taking a step back, she inspected his face, whilst releasing a sigh.
"What do you want?" Aurelia piqued, her eyes fixating upon Mike's familiar blues. He gazed down at her, a vivid black trace around his eye prompting a giggle to fall from her lips. Chewing roughly on his chapped bottom lip, Mike lifted his hands in the air taking in a sharp breath of air.
"I need to apologize to you." Mike replied, his eyes lowering down to the carpet's design beneath them. "What I said last night, or what. . . People said I said, it wasn't cool. I was just mad, you know? Hurt, drunk, mad - it's never a good combination. I need to confess something to you, Aurelia. . . I. . . I genuinely feel terrible for what I did to you. I feel like the biggest prick imaginable, and every time I'm forced to sit back and think about what I did to you, I hate myself. You didn't deserve it. You're far better than her, and you always will be in my eyes, and I ruined it. I lost the one thing that mattered to me, because I couldn't keep my dick in my pants, and alcohol out of my veins. And I'm sorry, I know that's not a good enough excuse, nor is my apology even worth accepting, but - "
"Michael Gregory Mizanin!" Her thickly accented tone broke from down the hall, prompting the thirty-year-old's face to flatten by instinct. "And what do you think you're doing?"
"Nothing." Mike muttered, twirling around to inspect his girlfriend's face. "I'm just talking to her about the situation last night with Ted. Go down to the lobby, will you, and make sure that the driver doesn't leave us like last time."
"Do you really think I'm going to leave you here? With her, of all people?" She questioned, prompting the blonde haired man release a loud sigh. Lifting his hand to his forehead, he slowly moved in his girlfriend's direction to settle his hands upon her shoulders, murmuring words to her inaudibly. Slowly twirling around, Aurelia tugged on her suitcase to roll it down the hall. A door opened and closed, the soft pattering of feet echoing through the hallway as Mike's voice broke through the sounds.
"I'll catch you in California, yeah? Give me a call, so we can go over next week's script." Mike murmured, causing Aurelia to twirl around and inspect Kevin's smiling face. Simply chuckling, Aurelia twirled around to press the button of the elevator, the soft bing echoing throughout before she stepped inside, watching the threesome at the end of the hall gazing as the doors slapped together.
"Sorry about that." Kevin muttered, taking his seat next to her on one of the lobby's many couches. His eyes flickered in her direction, a smirk settled upon his lips as he eyed her luggage, a chuckle falling from his lips. "Mike always spoke of how you carried your things in excess, so I figured you'd be twenty minutes late."
"I generally am." Aurelia remarked with a small giggle, eyes flickering away from Kevin's dark blue eyes. Nick Nemeth sat inches away from the duo on a leather couch, his hands locked tightly around his phone as he quickly shot up to his feet, shooting his fist into the air with a broad grin, his eyes jerking down to the two beside him.
"OH-EM-GEE IT'S EMMMMMMEEERZ IS BRINGING ME CHIPOTLE. Fuck yeah!" Nick remarked brightly. "Do you know how fucking long I've waited for this? Do you!"
"EMMA'S BRING YOU CHIPOLTE? NO FUCKING WAY!" Ted chirped from behind, quickly hopping over the couch to momentarily wedge himself between Aurelia and Kevin, before whipping up to his feet to slap his hand roughly against Nick's. The two young men dashed to the side momentarily to chatter excitedly, Randy's rough voice prompting the two young WWE acquisitions to twirl around.
"You do know I'll kill you if she cries, right?" Randy questioned, his eyebrow shooting upwards, immediately causing Aurelia's face to dive into the palms of her hands.
"That's not embarrassing or anything." Aurelia muttered, causing a chuckle to fall from Kevin's lips. Kevin slowly lifted upwards to his feet, extending his hand in Randy's direction who inspected it quizzically. "Just shake his head, P.R, so we can go and escape you and those two idiots."
"Don't think I'm messing around, kid." Randy threatened, placing his hand inside of Kevin's as they both slowly shook. Randy's eyes narrowed into Kevin's, who gazed back with a small smile, head tilting to the side. "What are you smirking at, punk?"
"It's just. . . Good to see that some men are still firm believers in chivalry." Kevin replied. "Don't think I have any poor intentions with Aurelia. I get it, you're careful of her. You want the best for her. I just want to repay her for something, and the best way I know how is to 'save her from Theodore Marvin embarrassment' and pay for her way to California. I have a girlfriend back home, Orton; one that I love very much, and one that I have absolutely no intention on cheating on, if that's what you think I'm questing for. Is she beautiful? Of course. Will I gape like an idiot at her? Probably. But I'm going to treat her how she deserves to be treated, and I already told Aurelia I'm perfectly alright with you two trailing behind us to make sure that nothing goes down that will make her uncomfortable. You can trust me, Orton."
"I was supposed to trust Mike, too." Randy replied, jerking his hand away as he looked down at Aurelia, eyes rolling. "And look what he did to her. We're not pals, Kiley. Get that through your head, we'll never be. However, co-worker or not, I will rip your fucking bags apart and treat you like Amy Weber and shit on every piece of your belongings if I hear that you've done one thing to upset her. Do I make myself clear?"
"Crystal." Kevin replied, slowly moving back down to his seat as Randy pressed past the two to involve himself in Nick and Ted's conversation. Kevin's face quickly turned stern as he eyed Randy's back, one eyebrow lifting upwards. "He isn't exactly a people's person, is he?"
"He's. . . protective." Aurelia murmured, slowly lifting upwards to her feet as she grasped her luggage with a sigh. "Let's go before those idiots break something. Nick and Ted together is a recipe for disaster, and with Randy gushing from his man period, it's best that we leave before someone's paying a fine. IDIOTS! Let's go!"
"But, but, but!" Ted whined, pointing to Nick's phone with a protruding bottom lip. "We're tweeting with - " Ted momentarily paused, pressing the side of his skull against Nick's as they both loudly vocalized: "OH-EM-GEE IT'S EMMMMMMEEERZ!"
"Ride together, fools." Aurelia muttered, snatching at her case before Kevin slowly peeled it from her grip. She shot a glare in his direction causing the young man to chuckle. "I can carry my own things, you know?"
"But you shouldn't have to. You go wrangle up the. . . Intelligent sons of guns over there, and I'll meet you at the car, alright?" Kevin offered with a smile. Aurelia simply shook her head, pressing past the young man as she lifted both hands in the air, gripping both Ted and Nick by the ears, forcing them out of the hotel, trailing behind Kevin.
"If you think I'm riding with BOTH of those idiots…" Randy began, causing Aurelia to twirl around with a pout. "… Ugh. Fine. When one ends up dead on the side of the fucking road, that's all your fault."
"There's only a few hundred miles to California, Papa Randy. Don't you sweat it."
Woo! Nick/Ted/Randy roatrip makes me LOL, in my head. Haha. Anyway, I'll try and post the roadtrip sometime this week! It's a crazy hectic week, so here's to hoping! Hope you all enjoyed, and please review to tell me how you think I can approve, or what you think! Thanks! 3
