Hey there. Here is chapter eight. Sorry it took so long. We left off with Randy telling Hayli that his wife Sam was leaving him, right?

Brother Dearest

We entered the theater, after we paid for our tickets, and took our seats at the back of the theater. Randy didn't sit down for long, obviously forgetting something. "Damn it. I forgot to grab a drink. You two want anything?"

"What are you getting, Randy?"

"I was thinking about Coke."

"Could you grab me a Sprite, Randy?"

"Sure thing, Nic. I'll be back guys." Randy headed down the stairs and out of the theater, leaving me and John alone again.

"So, why does he call you Nic?"

"It's my middle name. He calls me that when he feels upset, kind of our little code." I was fiddling with my shoe lace, finding myself very nervous around John. I always thought he was attractive and it was intimidating.

"Why are you so fidgety?"

"The truth?" John nodded. "I...think you're very attractive. It's kind of intimidating." I pushed my hair behind my ear, trying not to seem too nervous. I wasn't expecting the hug so I kind of fell into John's arms.

"Don't be nervous. I'm an easy going kind of guy." Randy walked back up the stairs with drinks and nachos in his hands. He handed me my Sprite and sat on the other side of John. The movie started and I felt myself smile when I was with John. Halfway through the movie, John put his arm around my shoulders which sent shivers throughout my entire body. I saw Randy looking at us but before I caught him, he turned the other way to hide the smile that was plastered on his face. The movie had ended and we all filed out of the theater. "What now, Ortons? Man that is weird to say." I smiled and Randy laughed.

"How about we hit the mall?"

"You in a spending mood, Randy?"

"Yeah. No one is watching my bank account like a hawk anymore so I'm good. Let's go."

"You mind if I bum a ride with you guys? My ride took off in hopes of getting some."

"It's three o'clock. Who has a sex at this hour?" John put his arm around my shoulder and smiled.

"You would be surprised, Hayli."I just smiled as we all headed to Randy's car. To my amazement, John wanted me to sit in the back with me. "What?"

"Didn't think you would want to sit next to me."

"And why not?"

"Because guys generally don't like sitting in the back of a very nice Audi." He smiled and put his arm around me again.

"Well, I'd much rather be in the back seat of a very nice Audi with a very pretty woman than in the front seat of a very nice Audi with Randy Orton. How's that?"

"Makes...sense." Randy scoffed.

"Fine, John. Just hurt my feelings like that. I wouldn't want to sit in your car with you either."

John rolled his eyes and I smiled. "Quit your complaining, princess."

"That's Mr. Princess to you, John." We all laughed as Randy headed towards the mall. We all piled out after Randy parked and we headed towards the mall.

"So where are we going, Mr. Princess?" John put his arm around my shoulders again for the third or fourth time tonight, it was great. Randy just shrugged and smirked, motioning for us to follow him. We wandered around the mall for about fifteen minutes, John and I looked at each other confused. "Randy, where the hell are we going?"

"Trust me." Randy turned around with his signature smirk plastered on his face, making the women pass us practically trip over the floor tiles. Dumb blondes.

John rolled his eyes. "That's what I'm afraid to do." I bit my lip to hold back my laugh but John could see right through me. "It's okay to laugh at your brother, you know. It shows you care." His face was so close to mine I could feel his breath on my cheek and it was a feeling I never wanted to stop feeling. But I knew I couldn't date a guy like John; he was out of my league. I felt John's arm move down to my waist so I gave him a questioning look. "I hate it when all those desperate women look at me. Does it bother you?"

"Not at all. Do what you have to do." I smiled and put my head on John's shoulder, hoping to sell the idea to the women passing by. Randy looked back at us and this time he wasn't fast enough. "What are you smiling about, Keith?"

"Nothing at all, Nic. Nothing at all." Randy smirked and led us to a Spencer's store.

"This is the big surprise, Randy? It's just a Spen-oh my god. I officially love this place." Watching John's face light up was priceless. "Hayli, do you see this stuff?"

"Yeah, it's like a sex shop threw up in here." John kissed my forehead, stunning me for a little bit.

"I'm not looking at just that, though. There is some serious WWE merch in here." John grabbed my hand and yanked me into his chest. He grabbed my face and gave me a huge kiss. I stood there, shocked and unable to move. "Randy! Get ready to max your credit card, man." He tried to move me but I was paralyzed. "You okay, Hayli?" I looked up at John, still reeling from the kiss. Apparently it took a while for the action to register, the expression on John's face changing. "Hayli, I'm sorry about that. It just...seemed like the right...thing to do."

-FIN-

That is it for this chapter. Next one will be out soon. As you can see, the transition between a Punk story to a John story is starting. Hope you all liked it.
