Chapter Six - He's Randy Orton

"For the last time, he did not ask you out."

"Yes he did, it wasn't a direct statement but the message behind-"

Ashley laughed out of frustration, "No. Maria, he just asked if he'd see you at the bar. That's all. Don't make this a bigger deal than it is."

I opened my mouth to protest when I realized she was right. He did not ask me out. It shouldn't even matter that he said anything at all because…Well, because I shouldn't care. Key word; shouldn't. But it did matter, and it bothered me that it mattered.

I sat on the edge of the bed, "What's happening to me?" I asked, desperate for an answer.

Ashley walked over to me and sat beside me, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, like what's going on? Why do I suddenly have an interest in him?"

"Maria, we're ladies."

"Ladies? Really? That's your answer? What does that have to do with this?"

"Well yeah, 'women' sounds too old, and 'girls' sounds too young."

"…Okay, but again, what does this have anything to do with my situation?"

"Well, you're probably desperate."

"Oh gee, thanks." I replied sarcastically.

"No, I didn't mean it like that. You feel lonely, because you don't have a boyfriend."

"Once again, thanks for pointing that out." I commented as I rolled my eyes.

"Hush, let me finish. So, you're obsessing over any compliment he's given you." She emphasized 'compliment' because she-of course-didn't think that it was a compliment.

"No Ashley, I'm not feeling lonely or anything. I'm getting a huge push and life's good right now-better than ever, actually."

"Maybe it's like a mood-swing or something."

"That's what I thought."

"Well, we are ladies. Having mood swings is like breathing for us."

I laughed, "True."

"So, let's get ready and go down to the bar."

As we stepped into the crowded room, I looked around noticing that this wasn't reserved for WWE employees like last week. Great.

Ashley went up to the bartender-like our usual routine. I, on the other hand, wasn't in the mood to eat, drink, or do anything. I was looking around, trying to find someone in particular.

"He's not here yet Maria."

"What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to act as if I was oblivious to what she was talking about.

"You know what-or should I say who-I'm talking about." She winked.

I rolled my eyes and smiled, "How do you know, anyway?"

"Know what? That he's not here or who he is?"

"The first one," I answered.

She shrugged, "I just do."

I rolled my eyes, "I'm gonna go look around."

"Call me if you see him."

"Alright." I said as I disappeared into the crowd.

I looked around the entire place, but couldn't find him.

I sighed and was going to head back to Ashley when someone tapped my shoulder.

I jumped up and turned around to find him standing there.

"Were you looking for me?" He smiled.

"I…" I couldn't finish my sentence, I just froze. I knew I'd curse myself for doing this later. I mean, come on, I was just standing there, staring at him.

"Ashley told me you were looking for us, so I came to find you."

"Oh…Yeah, I was," I finally managed to say.

He nodded slowly, and smirked while watching me closely.

I would have melted right there if he flashed that smirk of his again, but I knew this "feeling" was just momentary and I shouldn't care for his smirk or for him.

"So…Where are Ted and Cody?"

"Somewhere," He smirked.

What was I supposed to say to that?

"…Where exactly is 'somewhere'?" I asked.

He stepped closer to me, "They're around here somewhere."

I wanted to step back but my feet didn't agree and stood firmly in place, "Oh okay."

"Yeah," he nodded.

"So…We should go find them."

"Mhm," he agreed.

"Okay…Let's go." I walked past him and head over to Ashley.

As I was walking back I could almost feel him watching me. Once I spotted Ashley, I walked over to her and took a seat beside her.

"Go away, Adam."

"Just one dance, come on."

"No."

"Hey Adam," I greeted him.

"Hey Maria," he smiled.

I saw Ted and Cody sitting beside Ashley, "Hey guys,"

"Hi Maria," they said in unison.

"So what's going on?" I asked.

"Adam's asking-" Cody began, but was cut off by Ashley.

"Adam's harassing me."

"It's not harassing if you like the attention," Adam winked.

She rolled her eyes, and added "Yes, it's like a dream come true."

"I know," he smirked.

"Ugh," she said, frustrated.

"You're so adorable when you're angry," he smirked.

"Oh, then I must be gorgeous right now," she rolled her eyes.

"Somebody's full of themselves."

Ashley gasped, and I watched as Ted and Cody chuckled.

I smiled and turned my head to see Randy walking up to us. He took a seat next to mine.

"What took you so long? I thought you were right behind me," I asked.

He shrugged, "So what's happening with them?" He pointed to Adam and Ashley.

"They're arguing."

"As usual," he chuckled.

"Yeah," I smiled.

"You look nice," he complimented.

I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks, "Thanks, you look good too," I smiled.

He looked at me and smirked, then turned his head to Adam, who was walking to the dance floor with Ashley, and she wasn't struggling, she was actually going with him.

"Wow, how did that happen?" I asked.

"He said he'd leave her alone afterwards," Ted answered.

"Oh okay," I laughed.

"So Maria, excited for next week?" Cody asked.

"What's next week?" I ask.

"Oh, you don't know yet. There's going to be a match, all of Legacy versus Santino, Carlito, and Primo."

"That's awesome."

"Yeah. That's not all; you and Ashley are going to be ringside in Legacy's corner," he smiled.

"Really? That's great, so the whole storyline gets started then, huh?"

"Yeah."

"You think you can handle all of the boos and jeers?" Ted asked, smirking.

"Boos? I thought you guys were going to turn face?"

"It's not final yet. They're also considering turning you and Ashley heel."

"Really? I hope they do. I've always wanted to be heel," I smiled.

"It's actually really hard."

"How so?"

"Well, the fans hate you, they don't cheer for you in matches, and all the posters-don't even get me started on those."

"Ah, I think I can handle it."

"I hope so, just don't be sensitive and you'll be fine."

"Thanks for the advice," I smiled.

"Sure," he nodded.

"I'm getting bored," Cody whined.

"Find someone to dance with," Ted suggested.

"Come with me."

"I will. If you go alone, you'll never get a girl to dance with you," Ted smirked.

"Shut up," Cody rolled his eyes.

I laughed as they walked away, then, noticed Randy staring at me.

I gave him a small smile, "Yes?"

"You intrigue me, Maria."

"I do?"

"Yes. You're so…different from everyone else."

"…Thanks?" I say, not sure if it's a compliment or not.

He chuckles, "Yeah, I mean it in a good way."

"To be honest, you're quite intriguing yourself."

He raises his eyebrow, questioning me.

"You're this quiet and reserved guy one minute and the next; you're this really nice, funny, and friendly guy."

He smirked, "Maria, I'm neither of those. I'm Randy Orton."

"What does that mean?"

"You'll find out soon enough," he stood up, getting ready to leave when I grabbed his hand.

He turned around and smirked, "Yes?"

"You're complicated," I guessed.

He shook his head, "I'm Randy Orton, Maria."

Then he leaned down, and kissed my cheek before leaving, "I'll see you later," were his parting words.

My heart was racing, my cheeks felt hot-one area in particular, and I couldn't help but have an enormous grin on my face.

What just happened? Oh, I know, Randy Orton kissed my cheek. I sighed dreamily. For once, I was content with this feeling I had towards him.

I know this chapter came out later than expected but I had a busy weekend, and when I had time to work on this, I kept getting distracted. :) I made this one longer to make up for the lateness though. :) Please review, thanks. :)
