Monday rolled around pretty quick. The week had gone by so fast Candice wondered where it went. But it didn't matter. She was so happy for the first time in months. Her and Adam were through, and Dave was on RAW. She was so happy she didn't need to wear sweatshirts and sweats all the time anymore. She was wearing a denim mini skirt with a pink v-neck shirt with hearts. She waited for Dave by the car to get their luggage. She laughed when Dave leaned against the car out of breath.

"Why do you bring so much stuff?"

"It's just not for me. I share my stuff with the other divas now!"

Dave laughed and kissed her. They walked into the building hand in hand. Adam wasn't here yet. Candice let out a sigh of relief. Mickie came out from her room and squealed. She hugged Candice tight. This time, Candice didn't have to wince in pain. Mickie let go and put her arm around the Wisconsin beauty.

"Don't worry Dave. I can take it from here."

"OK. But remember. Call me if you see him. By babe."

Dave kissed Candice again before he walked off with his stuff. Candice giggled and turned to Mickie. Mickie was laughing.

"You look like a school girl looking at her crush."

"Well I was!"

"Oh everyone knows about you and Dave."

"What? Who…"

"I only told the divas. Adam told everyone else. No one cares since they think you make a great couple. Come on!"

Mickie and Candice linked arms and walked down the halls. They said hi to Shawn, Ric, Victoria and Torrie. They made it to their room safely. Mickie locked the door and sat down. Candice was brushing her hair when her phone rang. Mickie looked at who was calling. She opened it but snapped it shut. Candice knew it was Adam. Candice opened her bag and looked at her clothes. She opened Mickie's bag and set it next to hers.

"Mick, what should I wear?"

"I don't know Candy! Pick something."

Candice picked a silver tank top with hot pink pants. She plugged her curler and straighter in. Mickie came out in a red mini skirt. Candice smiled as she started to straighten her hair. Mickie's cell rang. Candice picked it up and looked at it. Adam was calling her. She just hung up on him and threw it into Mickie's bag. Mickie sighed and looked up.

"I gotta go to make up. Let's go."

"I'll be fine here."

"Nope. Dave told me not to leave you here alone."

"If the door's locked I'm sure I'll be fine. Plus I have his number on speed dial. Go I'll call when I need you."

"I don't know Candy…"

"Just go!"

"Fine. But if Dave sees me I'll tell him you insisted."

Mickie hugged Candice and walked out of the room. Candice locked the door and went back to her hair. After 10 minutes, it was straightened. Now to curl it. Before that could happen, someone was knocking on her door.

"Who is it?"

"It's John."

She opened the door to find the WWE Champion at her door. She smiled and gave him a hug.

"I thought you weren't supposed to be alone."

"What do you mean?"

"Dave told me a while ago. He saw Mickie by herself so he sent me to check on you. Are you OK?"

"I'm fine. The door's locked so he can't get in."

"OK. I'm down 3 doors if you need me. But I have to go see Maria. She's been on me about our 1 year anniversary."

"That's right it's coming up! Well have fun."

"Always."

Candice laughed and shut the door. But she forgot to lock the door. Candice didn't notice and went back to curling her hair. After 10 minutes, her hair looked great. She put some finishing spray in her hair. She was about to unplug her curler until Adam burst into the room. Then she remembered she didn't lock the door.

"Adam…"

"How could you! You bitch! You left me for that jerk!"

"He's not a jerk! He's my boyfriend and a damn better one at that!"

"I was the best you ever had! You think you can dump me without my consent?"

"I don't need it you bastard. Now get out before I…"

"Call Dave? No need. I took him out already. No one knows. So who ya going to turn to?"

Candice noticed she was stuck. Adam came at her at full speed. She dived out of the way while Adam crashed into the bathroom door. He looked up and was mad. He came at her again. Candice grabbed the curler and held it on Adam's arm. Adam yelped in pain. Candice ran into the bathroom and tried to lock the door. But Adam grabbed her and pulled her back. He pinned her to the floor. She tried to get out, but he was to strong. The burn on his arm was starting to blister and Adam was clearly in pain. But he had his evil grin and he laughed.

"There's no one to help you now princess. You're all mine."

"Before he could strike her, someone came in and tackled him. The person brawled with him in the corner. He called from the corner.

"Run!"

Candice looked at the scene, then ran. She ran to Dave's room to see if he was OK. She saw him walking down the hall. He wasn't hurt at all. Adam lied so she wouldn't call him. Candice ran to him and went into his arms.

"Candice. What the…"

"I know I wasn't supposed to be alone! But John came and I didn't lock the door and Adam…"

That was all Dave needed to hear. He was running to her room along with many other stars and WWE crew. When they got there Adam was being held back from the room. His burn was severe and had an ice pack on it. Candice stared at him intently. He stared at her back with intensity in his eyes.

"This isn't over between us Candice. It's far from over!"

The man that saved her came from the room. He had a scratch above his eye and some bruises, but he was OK. Candice got to see who it really was. It was Randy Orton. He saw her and walked over to her. Candice hugged him when he was close enough.

"Thank you so much. I don't know…"

"It's ok. You don't owe me anything. I was just passing by and I saw what was happening. You burned him pretty good."

Candice laughed and looked at Randy. He had such deep blue eyes. They were almost mesmerizing. Correction, they were. Tears started to form in her eyes. Randy took his fingers and wiped them away for her.

"Hey. Don't worry. Dave's not the only one who will protect you."

At the mention of his name, Dave came over and pulled Candice close to him. He kissed the top of her head and shook Randy's hand.

"Thanks man. I owe you one."

"No need. It's not necessary."

"Candy, why didn't you call me?"

"Adam said he took you out."

"That lying bastard."

"Calm down Dave. Adam lies like that. Well, I gotta get ready for my match. See you two later. Bye Candice."

Randy winked at her and walked away. Candice smiled and sighed. She shook her head. What was that all about? She looked up at Dave. She could tell he was jealous. But he had no reason to be. Dave took Candice's hand and led her back to her room.

"So your match is in an hour. Good luck."

"Your not coming down with me?"

"My match is right after that. I can't."

"OK. Good luck."

She went to kiss him but Dave just walked away. Why was he mad? Candice loved him, not Randy. She could have easily liked him and went out with him. Dave should be happy that she with him. She didn't love Randy. No way. Or…did she?
