Maryse woke me up around nine the next morning. I spent most of the day keeping to myself.
We were all at the arena and I was sitting in catering with Maryse talking about what was gonna happen tonight. I had a match against Eve, which I was scheduled to win. Randy would come out halfway through the match and stand at the top of the ramp, and then we had a promo after the match.
"Marie you got 15 minutes!" yelled done of the techs.
"K thanks" I responded.
Me and Maryse got up and headed back to the locker room so I could get ready and then we headed to gorilla where Eve was already waiting.
"Hey Marie, you ready?" asked Eve
"Yepp, I've been ready for years" I said half jokingly and half seriously.
"You'll do great" said Maryse
"You think so?" I asked
"We know so" Said Eve.
Eve's music came on and she did her entrance. She got to the ring and issued an open challenge. Suddenly Gun Powder and Lead-Miranda Lambert blasted through the stadium. I walked slowly down to the ring, my head held high and a smirk on my face. Eve looked at me with amusement.
"Well this should be easy. Who exactly are you anyway?" She said confidently.
I got into the ring and grabbed her mic from her.
"How about you shut your mouth so I can kick your ass already?" I said.
I threw the mic to the side and slapped her across the face before she even had a chance to respond. The ref signaled for the bell and the match went underway. The match went back and forth a few times, and right now Eve had the upper hand. My back was turned to her and as I turned around to face her she clothes lined me, knocking me to the ground once again. She hovered over me about to grab me when Randy's music came on. She quickly turned around and went to the ropes to see what was going on. I looked to the side and saw Randy coming out and stopping about halfway, just looking on. I took this as the opportunity I needed and got to my feet. I waited for Eve to turn around and as soon as she did I hit my finisher. I went for the cover and got the three count. The bell rang and instead of letting the ref raise my hand I went over and had them hand me the mic. When I turned around Randy was slowly walking back up the ramp. I walked over to Eve and knelt next to her and spoke.
"And by the way, the names Marie, Marie Flair."
The crowd gasped in shock and Randy stopped in his tracks and turned back to face me. I dropped the mic and rolled outta the ring, walking up the ramp towards Randy. I smirked at him as I walked past him and went backstage, leaving him and the WWE Universe in complete shock.
I was walking down the hall when he called out to me.
"Marie!"
I turned around to face him.
"Yes Orton"
"Flair, as in Ric Flair's daughter?"
"The one and only"
"If you're Flair's daughter, then why would you wanna pair up with me? Me and your father hate each other."
"That's between you guys. But I, unlike my father, realize what you are capable of doing, and what we could accomplish together."
"What's your father have to say about this?"
"He's pissed. But I really don't care what he has to say. This is my life, my career, and my decision. Not his. I know what I want. And trust when I say this, I ALWAYS get what I want." I said, smirking at the last part. "So what do you say Randy?"
"Well I can't deny you've got talent. Unlike most of the other divas on this show, you actually seem to know what you're doing. And it helps that you're second generation. You've got yourself a deal Flair."
"That's all I wanted to hear."
"Walk with me, we have a few things to discuss if we are going to be working together."
We turned and walked down the hall talking as the cameras cut off. Once we were down the hall and safe, I squealed and hugged Randy.
"Oh my god! This is so exciting Randy! I can't believe I get to work with you, and on my very first storyline! This is gonna be so much fun!"
"Calm down Marie" he said laughing at me.
"I can't, I'm just really excited. I still can't believe I finally made it here. I never thought I'd make it to this point, but here I am. And with you. We always said how cool it would be to work together and now we finally get too!" I said excitedly
"Marie!" came the voice of Eve from behind me.
"Hey Eve" I said
"You did great out there Marie"
"Thanks Eve." I said smiling
We started heading towards our locker rooms when my phone rang. It was Maryse.
"You're in the same building as me and you have to call me?" I answered laughing
"Haha very funny. I didn't feel like searching for you all. You guys ready to go?" she asked
"We just gotta grab our stuff"
"OK, I'll meet you at the car then."
"K see ya in a few"
I hung up the phone and looked at Eve and Randy.
"Maryse says she gonna meet us at the car.
"OK, lets get our stuff and head out then."
We grabbed our stuff and headed out to the car. None of us had anything else to do so we were free to leave. John was meeting us at the hotel after he was finished.
"So Marie, we gotta celebrate your official debut tonight, so what do ya wanna do?" Randy asked throwing his arms around my shoulders.
"I don't know, club?" I asked
They looked at each other and nodded.
"Cool, now we just gotta check with Maryse." I said as we neared the car.
I saw Maryse talking to someone next to the car but couldn't see who it was. Then as we got closer it became very clear to me who it was when I heard his voice.
"Just tell me where she is." said Justin
"Why should I?" asked Maryse
"Cause I'm her boyfriend, that's why,"
Before Maryse could speak up I spoke up.
"Oh really Justin, now you're my boyfriend? Last time I saw you, you made me choose between my career, that I have been working my whole life for, and you. And I kicked you out of my house."
He looked at me in shock, like he had no idea what I was talking about. That is, until he noticed that Randy had his arm around my shoulders.
"Well, I came here to try and work things out, but I can see you've already moved on. I knew this would happen Marie. I knew this was why you wanted to come here so badly. It was all for him." he said coldly.
"Just shut up Justin! You have no idea what the hell you are talking about! There is nothing going on between me and Randy first of all. I just had my first match and we were trying to think of what to do. Besides the fact that even if there WAS something going on with Randy and I, it would be none of your business, cause we are no longer together. And second of all, I wanted to be here because this has been my dream ever since I was a little girl. I love this business, and you know that. You've known that from the start. So you know what Justin, FUCK YOU! Just get outta here and leave me the hell alone. I don't ever wanna see you again." I said harshly
"Like I said before Marie, you're gonna regret this. Just wait and see." He said before walking away.
By this time the other three were in complete shock. Randy had never in the whole time we have known each other heard me go off on someone like that, and Eve and Maryse didn't really know what to think about it. Randy had moved a few inches away when I started yelling at Justin, but he came right back over to me when he saw how upset I was at the moment.
"It's OK Marie, calm down. He's gone, and he's not gonna bother you anymore. I wont let him, I promise." Said Randy
"Marie do you wanna just skip tonight and go out tomorrow instead?" Asked Maryse
"No, I still wanna go out tonight, I need to, to try and clear my head." I said once I had calmed down a little.
We went back to the hotel to shower and get dressed for the club, then we met up with John, Chris, Adam, Melina, Gail, and a few others in the lobby. I rode with Randy, John, Maryse, and Eve in his car while everyone else piled into Chris's SUV.
Once we were in the club I headed straight for the bar and ordered three shots, downing them quickly.
"Whoa, slow down there Hun" Came Randy's voice from behind me. "You're not gonna be able to stand up at the rate you're going"
"That's part of the plan" I replied.
I ordered two more shots and handed one to Randy who was now sitting next to me.
"Drink with me" I demanded, handing him the shot glass.
He shook his head in defeat and took the glass and downed the shot. We kept ordering shot after shot after shot until both of us were completely wasted. Maryse walked over to us and pulled us both out on the dance floor before either we were able to order another. I figured 'what the hell' and just started dancing. After about two more hours we all decided to head back to the hotel. Eve, who had decided not to drink, drove. Once back at the hotel we walked in the lobby when I remembered I had left my purse in the car.
"I'll meet you guys upstairs, I forgot my purse"
"I'll come with you" offered Randy.
"OK" said Maryse and Eve simultaneously.
Me and Randy walked to the car and I grabbed my purse. We got to the elevator and I kept glancing over to Randy. I wanted to kiss him so badly, but I was trying to hold myself back cause of our deal. But the alcohol took over. I turned to face him and he looked at me questioningly.
"Marie are you," I cut him off with a kiss.
He hesitated at first but then quickly returned it. We were getting really into it when the elevator stopped. As soon as we stepped off the elevator we were back at it again, slowly heading towards his room. We reached the door and he quickly unlocked the door and led us inside. Luckily he wasn't sharing a room with anyone. He laid me down on the bed and leaned back in to kiss me. I can't remember what happened after that though, cause next thing I know, I'm waking up to a phone ringing.
I opened my eyes and didn't recognize my surroundings, and I began to panic a little. That is, until I looked next to me and saw Randy sleeping peacefully. The last thing I could remember was coming back to his room after we left the club, but anything after that was blank. I looked down and noticed I was almost completely naked.
Shit, one minute I'm telling him I just wanna be friends and the next minute I sleep with him? AGAIN?
My thoughts were interrupted by Randy stirring next to me. He opened his eyes, looked at me, and smiled.
"Hey there" he said
"Hey, umm, Randy, what exactly happened last night?" I asked noticing he was in just his boxers.
He noticed the panic on my face and quickly responded.
"Don't worry Marie, we didn't have sex. We were about to, but then I kinda sobered up a little, and remembered what we agreed on, and I knew that if we kept going you would regret it. So I stopped."
A sigh of relief washed over me. And I was also extremely thankful to him. He easily could have kept going, but he knew I'd end up regretting it. Most people think he is an asshole, but he's really not. At least not to me anyways.
"Thank you Randy. Looks like you still know me better than I thought." I said with a smile
"I never forgot anything about you Marie. You forget we spent almost 8 years of our lives together. I know everything there is to know about you. And I know its been a long time since we've talked or seen each other, but I bet you anything I still know you better than anyone else."
I couldn't help but smile at what he was saying. Every word of it was true. I was beginning to remember why I had fallen in love with him in the first place. I still thought we needed to get to know each other again, but who's to say we can't have some fun in the process?
