Chapter 7: Are you Okay?

Monday Night RAW: 8:45PM

Haley let one finished curl fall down Brie Bella`s shoulder and lifted her curling wand, getting ready to curl the next piece of hair. Once she landed with Randy they both went their separate ways and found their hotel rooms and now she was currently at work with another hair stylist for the WWE, Kathy. She couldn't take her mind off of how guilty she still felt and she didn't know if it honestly would ever go away, she wasn't being herself and she knew it, normally she would be making jokes, gossiping and laughing with Kathy and the other divas, but today Kathy was on her own with that and it didn't go unnoticed by the girls.

Nikki pipped up first, throwing the magazine she was reading on the counter where all the hard products and supplied were laid out. "Ok Hales, spill." Short and sweet, that was all she said as she looked up at haley with accusing eyes.

Haley sighed and shook her head, curling another piece of her twin Bries hair. "Spill what Nik?"

Nikki Bella just snickered and got up from her current position on the chair, walking over to Haley side "You cannot stand there and tell me that nothing is wrong…" she paused and shrugged "You aren't yourself today."

Brie then pipped up "I mean I didn't want to say anything but I noticed too."

She looked up into the mirror and into Bries eyes "Nothing is wrong, trust me." She lied.

Kathy with a thin tooth comb splitting sections in Natalya`s hair looked up from the corner of her eye "I call BS, Your normally the one cranking the jokes and starting all the chit chat in here and today you've been as quiet as a mouse."

Brie shrugged her shoulders and looked into the mirror at Haley who was focusing on simply curling her hair "We are just worried about you."

Nikki then pipped up from standing on the right side of her "Yeah, I mean if theres something bothering you, you can tell us."

Haley sighed a bit her lip in thought, she wanted to tell someone so bad and she couldn't tell her best friend because HE was the problem or more so, what she did with him was. She nodded her head and gave a soft smile to all the girls "Im not ready to talk about it just yet guys, but If I am, ill let you know."

Nikki smiled and rubbed her shoulder in a caring manner, then soon after returned to the seat she was in. Brie desperately wanted to change the subject to take Haley mind off of whatever it is was bothering her, so she smirked and remembered what she seen the other night. "You know, I saw Haley going into Batista`s hotel room early this morning…"

The whole room gasped and smirks laid upon the girls faces. Haley groaned and shook her head at Bries attempt to cheer her up "Guys stop! I only went there because I needed to get some friendly advice from him! That is all!"

"Friendly advice?" Nikki raised a brow and laughed "What type of advice would you need from the animal himself?"

"It sounds to me like she needed something else from him." Kathy shot her a smirk.

Haley couldn't help but blush, and why was she blushing? She really only did go over to get advice about they whole Randy situation, what is it that was going on with her lately? Last night she was getting all types of butterflies at the club with Dave and now she's blushing, over some rumored gossip? "It was just…Sort of…Relationship advice."

Natalya raised a brow "Wait Relationship? Are you dating someone Hales?"

Haley sighed "No, No…Ive just been conflicted about my feelings for someone is all."

The room went silent for a minute and Haley noticed, as well as Kathy, only the divas stayed quiet and finally Nikki decided to speak first "Well if that really was the case, girl he's the last person I would be getting relationship advice from…" she paused and shook her head "I mean didn't he cheat on his wife?"

Uh-Oh theres that supposed rumor again, Randy had told her that too, she had heard the rumor around before but she just refused to believe Dave would do something like that, I mean she knew him for 10 years, she saw him as better than that, but then again she saw Randy as better than that too and look what happened.

"Nicole stop saying things when you don't know the facts" her twin sister Brie explained as I finished curling the last bit of her hair.

Nikki was about to open her mouth to speak but Natalya jumped in before she could "I mean there are a lot of people out there who say that is the truth though."

Haley now felt the need to jump in a defend her friend "Nobody but Dave knows the truth and until then I don't think we should judge."

Brie nodded her head as Haley sprayed the finishing touches on her hair "Agreed."

Kathy just smirked as she finished up Natalya's hair as well "I just think Haley is gaining some feelings for the so called animal, himself."

Haley sat back in one of the chairs with a loud huff and closed her eyes. She heard a soft voice and a giggle "Tired?"

Not bothering to open her eyes she nodded "Taking care of divas is hard work." She exclaimed with a small smirk playing upon her face which caused Kathy to let out a soft laugh. Soon after a whistling ringtone was heard coming from Haley phone, Haley groaned at the fact that now she had to open her eyes and see who it was, she slid her finger across the screen and opened the text message.

Keith: Hey just finished my match and I'm starving, meet me in catering?

Haley just smiled and shook her head replying with a quick,

Hales: Yup. 2 minutes.

"Randy?" She heard Kathy asked as she packed away the last of her hair tools.

Haley raised a brow in curiosity "How'd you guess?"

"When does that man ever not text you?" She laughed

Haley shook her head and lifted from her seat "Yeah I have a pain in the ass best friend, don't I?" She matched Kathy previous laugh and walked over to the door waving her goodbyes to her friend and co-worker Kathy.

Haley walked over to catering, which wasn't too long of a walk and looked around for Randy, she hadn't seen him anywhere in site so she just figured he must have still been on his way here, she was about to make her way to the salad bar when she felt soft whispers tickle her ear and she could've sworn she got the goosebumps from it.

"You waiting for me?"

She gave a sly smile and turned around to face him "Seems like you were the one waiting for me, Dave?" She shook off the goosebumps and tried to play it cool, what was her body doing to her when he was around, its not like this was new, Dave has been her friend for years and she done so many things with him and never had feelings like these, frankly it was freaking her out.

He laughed softly and walked closer to her, placing his hand on the small of her back and leading her towards her previous destination, the salad bar. "I was actually." He admitted "I wanted to see how you were doing since..well.." he paused.

"Oh" was all she said and looked down at the array of salad toppings before her "Well I still feel guilty, like the dirtiest scum on the earth right now, and even more so that I lied to Randy about it."

Dave stopped her from reaching for a salad topping which in turn caused her to look up at him. He searched her eyes for any emotions and what he saw was most likely pain, she was suffering and he couldn't stand seeing her like that. He gently rubbed his thumb across her cheek "Hey, what did I tell you about saying that about yourself, your not! Your human and you made a mistake…" he paused and when she didn't respond he continued "Now whats this about you lying to Orton?"

She sighed, still little frazzled from his thumb gently stroking her cheek, 'Snap out of it Hales, what the hell has gotten into you?' She shook out of her thoughts to awnser his question.

"Randy found my charm bracelet under the bed in his hotel room…" and before she continued Dave snickered "Oh shit."

Haley sighed "Yeah, anyway, he called me out on it and I completely acted oblivious and acted like I must have dropped it when I met him in his hotel for breakfast that morning."

Dave sighed and shrugged his shoulders "Well the lie worked out well for you but now your issue is what if he starts to remember what happened that night, then what?"

Haley finished making her salad and closed the container up "I don't know…Im just putting all my money on faith and hoping he doesn't."

Dave reach over and placed his hand on top of hers, slowly rubbing circles on the top of her hand "If you ever need me, Im always here."

Haley cleared her throat and pushed down and away the feelings she was getting right at the moment, she knew he was just being a supportive friend and yes thats exactly what she needed right now. "Thanks Dave, I know."

11:00PM:

It was now a little bit past 11:00 and Haley was just about ready to start heading out to the hotel when she heard her phone going off in her purse, she slammed her purse down on the table and rummaged through it before , taking a look at the caller ID and awnsering it.

"Hey Steph…" She smiled

She could imagine Steph smiling through the phone right now "Hey, where are you? Me and Hunter were going to get in a midnight workout, want to join?"

Haley smiled at the offer but she didn't want to impose on Steph and she wasn't exactly in the mood since catering "Rain check?" She questioned "Im just not feeling up to it, plus I really tired, I'm just going to head to the hotel now."

The line was quiet for a minute "Haley are you ok? You've been kinda different since the night we went out to the club."

She sighed, that damn club, everyone was asking if she was okay and mentioning that night, she just wanted to forget about it and get it out of her head! "Yeah Steph Im good, no worries, promise"

Steph sighed and accepted her answer "How about we go out for dinner and drinks tomorrow?"

Haley smiled at her attempt, she knew Steph wasn't buying anything she was saying and to be honest she knew steps wasn't going to buy any of it but she was just so scared to tell Steph, she was like her big sister and she knew she was going to be way more than disappointed in her and she wasn't looking forward to that conversation. "Absolutely, sounds good."

"Great-" and just as Steph was about to say her goodbyes Haley interrupted "hang on, quick question, did you see Randy at all tonight, after his match?"

Steph stayed quiet for a minute, obviously in thought "Hmm, No why?"

Haley sighed and shook her head "No its nothing serious, just he was supposed to meet me at catering and he never showed."

"Just go check on him, Im sure you know his hotel room number." Steph laughed knowing that those two shared just about everything, so she knew Randy didn't leave her in the dark about which room he was staying in.

"Yeah, cause I've tried calling and he won't answer my calls either." She said in a lower tone, more worried as to if something happen to him. But she just brushed off the feeling and said her goodbyes to Steph and that she would see her tomorrow for dinner, around 6.

12:45PM

Haley finally arrived at the hotel they were staying at and before going to check on Randy she made it a point to stop by her hotel room, drop off the bags with all her hair and beauty products in it and take a quick shower. She took a shower, changed into a pair of yoga leggings and a looser fitted pink, v-neck, short sleeved t-shirt, slipped some sandals on her feet and walked out of her hotel room in search for Randy`s on the fourth floor.

415. She knocked twice on the hotel room door, before she heard shuffling inside, a few seconds later she was face to face with the lady killer himself, her best friend. She looked him up and down and noticed he had a towel hung loosely off his waist and glistening wet. She swallowed the lump forming in her throat and looked away, anywhere that wasn't him. "Hey!" She smiled softly and tried to act chipper.

Randy just stared her down and nodded his head "Hey." He walked back inside, leaving the door open so she could come in.

She stood there confused for a minute 'Weird. Did he just brush me off?' She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. "Uhm what happened to you? We were supposed to meet at catering."

Randy snickered and licked his lips "Im surprised you noticed."

Haley was so confused at this point, she raised a brow and crossed her arms over her chest "Alright what the hell Keith, whats wrong with you?"

"Oh what besides the obvious that I cheated on my fiancé with some one night stand slut?" He exclaimed rummaging through his bag to find his clothes.

Oof. Damn that hurt, she knows he didn't mean it towards her but damn it still did the trick. Back to the matter at hand, she tried to shake off the feeling and sighed "Not that." She whispered "I mean why you didn't show up at catering and what exactly your accusing me of."

"You seemed to look very comfortable without me there anyway." He stated as he pulled his boxers on under his towel and as soon as he finished he whipped his towel off and threw it onto the bed near him.

Haley didn't even get phased at seeing him in just his boxers at this point, normally it would do something to her but right now she was pissed. She knew exactly why Randy didn't show up, he saw her and Dave together and right away again started assuming shit, got pissed off and left. "Are you kidding me Randy? Your pissed off because I was talking to Dave?!" She exclaimed

He smirked and shook his head, throwing on his track pants "That thumb stroke to the cheek and holding of the hands seemed like a lot more than just talking."

She sighed and there her hands in the air in frustration "What are you 12? Just because he was comforting me doesn't mean that it was romantic or in any way sexual."

Randy walked over to her and stood right in front of her face, his eyes dancing with her, until he finally spoke "Maybe not to you but in his mind those gestures meant a lot more."

She put her hand son her hips "Oh come on Randy!" She shook her head "He's just being my friend and comforting me."

Randy walked even closer to her, his icy blue eye staring into her and the serious look never leaving his face. He held his hand up and pressed it against her cheek, she had no idea what he was doing but her heart rate sped up and she could hardly process what was happening. He began rubbing his thumb up and down on her cheek, never breaking eye contact "This when he did this, he was making a move, he wanted to either kiss you or show you how caring he could be." He spoke almost above a whisper.

He then let his hand fall from her face and she instantly missed it but seconds later she felt him grab her hand and squeeze it gently rubbing his thumb back on fourth on top of it. "Now this, friends can do yes, but the way he was doing it, Hales wasn't as a friend." He dropped her hands and walked over to the other side of the room, sitting on the bed. "Friends don't do that shit." He commented.

Haley had to take a minute to regain her composure. She ran a shaky hand through her hair and cleared her throat. 'God does he know the effect he just had on me, I can barley speak right now.'

She walked over to the bed and sat beside him "Okay so say he didn't mean it in a friendly way, why are you so against us dating, if I ever decide to do it?"

Randy scoffed and shook his head "Damn it Hales, he's not right for you!"

Haley rolled her eyes "Why?!" She shouted "Give me a good reason!"

"Ive said it once and ill say it again, he's going to end up hurting you." Randy stated in little calmer tone.

This made Haley think, he wasn't a bad guy, he was amazing in fact and the only reason she never took a chance to go out with him was because she was in love with the man sitting right in front of her but he wasn't hers and truthfully she wasn't ever going to have him, those were facts. "I don't understand why you think that, the man is one of your friends Keith."

Randy sighed and shook his head "Exactly, I should know how he is around women, he might be Mr. Perfect around you but you were never with him for the guys nights out and the drinking and the whole divorce issue."

The came up that issue again. She was frankly tired of hearing it. She sighed a shook her head "I don't know why we are talking about this, Im not interested in Dave, he's just a really good friend."

Randy nodded his head with a roll of the eyes "So you say, but every time I see you guys together, I see more than just friendship, at least from his part." He paused and looked over at his best friend who now looked tired, frustrated and confused. He sighed and shook his head "Hales, Im sorry, I shouldn't have blown up, gotten pissed, and stood you up in catering."

Haley smiled and shook her head "Its ok…" she rubbed his arm "Consider it forgotten."

As soon as her fingers traveled against his shoulder and down his tricep, he felt his throat suddenly become dry and his heart rate speed up. He looked up at her and he actually didn't take a good look at her when she first walked in because he was so pissed but now, the loose fitted shirt was almost see-through and didn't leave much to the imagination, and the yoga legging she wore, hugged her body tightly, right then and there he thought she looked as sexy as ever. 'Wait, what..what the fuck is wrong with me?' He shook his head from his thoughts and got up from the bed. "Uhm listen Hales I'm getting pretty tired…"

"Oh." Haley smiled "No problem, Ill get going, If you need anything just call."

"Uh-huh" Randy nodded and watched her walk out the door, once she left he let of a breath of relief and fell back on the bed. "What the hell am I thinking about her like that for?" He whispered to himself and just then his phone started to ring, he looked at the caller ID and sighed, 'Perfect timing' he thought.

"Hey baby." He picked up on the second ring.
