Sorry I took so long to update. The hot weather makes me lazy: fact. Plus, school. Hope to update a little more faster but I have exams soon..
This is a story request. I do not own the plot, or title, or WWE. That cover image is mine though! c:
It's been exactly three days since the incident and the guilt was eating up AJ. She tried apologizing after the doctor looked over him, but he wouldn't listen. She thought they could finally talk when she saw him at the same restaurant the other day, but he didn't even strike up a conversation with her, or give her a single glance. He just passed her like she wasn't even there!
The guilt became so much that she just had to make things right. That she was really sorry for accidentally kicking him there. So bad that she was on his way to his hotel room. Was. Right now she was standing a few doors from his, deciding if she should knock or not.
She finally went to the door and was knocked.
I'm too nice sometimes. She thought smugly while she waited for him to answer.
The door opened and AJ frowned.
"Layla?"
Layla didn't say anything and AJ stepped back to give her room. Layla proceeded to walk briskly down the hall. AJ watched until she was out of sight and turned back to the open door. Randy stood there with a smug look.
He crossed his arms, "What do you want?"
She suddenly regretted coming here. "Nothing. Just on a walk and I saw Layla leave this room. Thought I investigate. I can see why she ran out so quickly."
He glared. "And what is that suppose to mean?"
She rolled her eyes. She didn't have time for another pity fight. "Nothing. I came here to apologize. And after seeing this," She motioned to him, "I can tell that you're.. just fine."
"We didn't do anything," He frowned. "It still hurts."
AJ grinned. "At least you tried, right?"
He sighed and went back inside, leaving the door open so she could come in. She did and closed the door softly behind her. She followed him into the room.
He stopped and turned around to face her. "She just suddenly came over here. I didn't know why."
She made a face to urge him on.
"When I found out why. I told her I didn't want any part of it. Then you knocked on the door and she left."
From what AJ heard, everyone knew Randy would jump at a chance like that. For some reason that bothered AJ. Maybe it was because she didn't think Layla was that type. Yeah, that could be it.
"Oh." She cleared her throat. "I'm still feel guilty over that kick."
Randy crossed his arms and sat on the bed. Finally giving her time to explain for herself. She sat next to him. She looked up at him, "First I just want to say I'm deeply sorry, and again, that it was an accident. I wouldn't purposely kick someone there. No matter how much you deserved it. I didn't mean it. You were standing close and I didn't angle the kick more," She breathed. "Again. Sorry."
Randy raised a brow. He couldn't believe the kick was bothering her that much. It made her see her as a much more caring person. She also looked relieve when he nodded at her in understanding. This girl was too much.
He reached out and patted her arm gently. "Forget it okay. Accidents happen."
AJ nodded. "I also like to know why you were ignoring me for the past three days. You're the one who told me that we should get to know each other and talk strategy."
He shrugged. "I was busy."
That was it. He was just busy. Some reason she wasn't satisfied with his answer. It still didn't explain the incident at the restaurant. But she would let it slide.
The sudden silence began to take its toll and both shifted in their seat uncomfortably.
She suddenly remembered something. "Randy."
"Hm?"
"Isn't it your turn to thank me?"
He made a face. "What for?"
She smirked, "For saving you from Layla."
He frowned. "What if I didn't want her to leave?"
"Never mind." She rolled her eyes."Can we talk about our next segment? I don't want to screw up like last time."
He shrugged. "I was surprised."
AJ gave a look. "Really?"
He nodded. "It look like you were going to drop to your knees and check on me right after you kicked me. I was impressed. You really know how to stay in character."
He was paying her a compliment.
AJ blushed in embarrassment. "That means a lot coming from you."
He shook his head, "Don't get use to it. I don't give out compliments just to anyone."
Randy paused, giving her a serious look. "So are we really going to do this? I mean, take us seriously."
For some reason she couldn't help but think back to Phil. This whole situation reminded her of the time Phil asked her if she wanted to go steady with him. A heavy burden fell onto her shoulder.
She gave a sad smile. "Yeah."
Randy nodded.
The two talked about their next segment for a couple minutes and moved on to other things. They talked about themselves. Their fears, goals after WWE, and just stuff in general. It was an all to familiar feeling to AJ once she opened up to Randy.
Whether she wanted to admit it or not, maybe being with Randy was a little escape route from reality. It kept her from thinking about Phil. And the harsh reality for her might be that she still did have feelings for Phil.
But being with Randy erased all thoughts of him. It was a nice breath of air for AJ to say the least.
She definitely was going to have a new perspective of Randy after this day. But maybe that was okay.
When it was time to leave, Randy walked her to the door. He opened the door for her and she gave him a soft 'thanks.'
He leaned down and kissed the top of her head. It was only for a quick second and she didn't have time to react. "Thanks."
She raised a brow. He nodded. "Layla."
"But-"
He shrugged. "Someone suddenly made me change my view of women," He paused, "That was long ago I think."
She didn't want to get to much into his pass in one night and decided when the time was right, she will ask. She nodded. "Alright Randy. I think I kept you to myself long enough. See you at Raw!"
AJ is starting to get close to Randy? Yay! Sorry for late update.
Review me your thoughts! :)
