Chapter 10!
--
It had been three days since Max and Randy had parted ways, and she still had three more days to go before they would be re-united again. Or so she thought. Right now she sat in the airport with her brother. They were on their way from one house show, to another.
"What time does our plane leave?" Max asked rather bored.
"An hour." John replied without even looking at his watch.
"Why did we have to get here so early?" She asked, they had already been there for three hours.
"I wanted to make sure we didn't miss our flight." He shrugged. "So how's things going with Santino?"
"Santino?" She asked. "Oh, it's going great." She smiled.
"I'm glad." He replied with a smile of his own. "I saw you guys together yesterday." He added.
"Yeah. We just wanted to be together before today. He had a different flight." She said. They actually had hung out the day before. In all honesty, Santino wasn't that bad, he could be annoying sometimes, but for the most part, he was pretty amusing.
John still had his doubts about her and Santino. During the week, they were at the house shows together, yet Max spent more time with John than Santino. It wasn't until Raw or a PPV that he didn't see her. He still thought something was a bit fishy, but he wanted to believe her, believe that she really was seeing Santino. Not because he liked the guy, but because that meant she wasn't lying to him.
John was quickly broken away from his thoughts as a group of young woman squealed in his direction. Max was roughly pushed out of the way as the large group surrounded her brother.
"I'll just stand over here." She mumbled moving away from the yelling girls. She looked around the airport at the many different gift shops she could go into while waiting, but none of them seemed to interest her. She looked back down the other way of the terminal as her eyes locked onto those of the Legend Killers. Her heart fluttered as his blue eyes stared right at her.
She gave him a brief smile before looking back at John. She knew he was going to be busy for a while, the group of women seemed to get bigger with each second. Max began to make her way over to him, but kept going once she reached him. She couldn't jump into his arms out here in the open. Not on the off chance that John would look over and see them.
Max walked passed him and into the restroom, Randy right behind her. Once inside, he locked the door before wrapping his massive arms around her. It had only been three days since he last saw her, yet he missed her like crazy. "I've missed you so much!" Randy said before placing his lips on hers.
"I've missed you too!" She replied, returning the kiss he had started. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders as their lips were still connected.
Gently, Randy pushed max against the wall, his hands clutched at her waist. Breaking the kiss, he leaned his forehead against hers. He didn't have much time.
"When does your flight leave?" She asked.
"In less than ten minutes." He sighed. "I wish we could be together every day."
"Me too!" She groaned.
"Only getting to see you once or twice a week is really killing me!"
"Me too." Max whispered. Right now she was on the verge of tears. She hated having to keep this a secret, she wanted to yell to the world that they were together. But if she did, she risked loosing John.
"Everything will be OK! I promise you!" He said running his thumb over the rim of her eye where a tear had began to form.
"Flight One-eighty-four to Tennessee is now boarding." A womans voice said over the loudspeaker.
"Shit." Randy cursed. "That's me."
Max sniffled as she wiped at her eyes. "Yeah."
Randy once again wrapped his arms around her. "Only three days!" He kept his arms around her tightly. He didn't ever want to let her go.
"I...I want to go to St Louis with you." She spoke before exhaling slowly.
"Really?" Randy asked, his heart skipping a beat as a small grin began to form on his lips. "What are you going to tell your brother?"
"The truth if I have too." She replied. She would tell him the truth, but only if she couldn't think of something else.
Randy nodded. "I'll stand by you if thats what you tell him." He said placing a kiss on her lips which was broken by the sound of yelling.
"Randy!" Cody banged on the door from the outside. "Our flight is boarding."
"Yeah." Randy sighed. "I know." Pulling away from Max slightly so he could look in her eyes he spoke softly. "Call me when you land."
Max nodded as that same womans voice came over the speaker again. "Last call. Flight one-eighty-four to Tennessee is now boarding."
"I got to go Max, I'll see you Monday!" He said giving her one last, sweet and tender kiss. She hugged him tightly before releasing her grip. She wiped another tear away as he walked out the door. It was getting harder and harder for her everytime they had to say goodbye. She couldn't take it much longer.
Walking over to the sink, she splashed some cool water on her face, hoping to try and reduce the slight puffiness her few tears had caused. Once she felt she looked alright again, she left the bathroom and went to sit next to John, who, thank god, was by himself.
"Where'd you go?" He shot her a questioning look.
"Oh, I just looked around a couple of the stores then went to the bathroom." She shrugged. "Your little groupies pushed me away." She laughed.
"Yeah, they do that sometimes." He shrugged with a laugh of his own.
--
"Everything will be OK, man." Cody said slapping Randy on the back as the trio walked through the tunnel that connected the airport to the plane.
"I know." Randy replied flatly.
"You actually look a bit happy?" Cody asked confused.
"Max said she'd go to St Louis with me." He smiled glancing between Cody and Ted.
"That's great!" Ted replied.
"I'm so excited about it. It just can't come soon enough though." He sighed.
"So.. You guys gonna, you know?" Cody asked a bit awkwardly.
"Only if she wants too." Randy replied as he stowed his luggage away in the overhead compartment.
"You know, never in the time that I've known you," Ted began. "Have you ever waited for a girl."
"Maybe he's in love." Cody joked.
"Maybe I am." Randy replied seriously.
Cody and Ted were in silence, they had no idea what to say to that. "Really?" Cody asked finally breaking the silence.
"Really." Randy replied truthfully. "She's unlike any girl I've ever known."
"Have you told her yet?" Ted asked.
"To be honest, I'm terrified to tell her.." Randy replied. He really was scared to tell her. What if she rejected him when he told her? What if she just laughed in his face? What if she didn't love him back? He really would be heartbroken, and that scared him. It scared him to put himself out there like that and not get anything in return.
--
Max and Johns plane landed a few hours ago and they were now in the arena for the house show.
"Hey Santino!" John greeted as he walked toward the Italian.
"Ah, Johnny Cena. How are you?" He asked waving at him.
"Good. You seen Max?" He asked.
"Not yet. I was just going to find her." Santino replied looking around.
"She just left my locker room and said she was going to find you. I'm sure you'll run into her." John chuckled lightly. "I'll see you later."
John continued walking down the corridor when he came to an intersection, he stopped as he heard his sisters voice. He looked around the corner but stayed where he was when he saw her on the phone.
"I miss you so much!" She said into her phone. "I can't wait for Monday so we can be together."
'What the hell!?' John thought as he looked back and saw Santino talking to a stage hand. She definitely wasn't talking to him.
"I can't wait till next week!" She grinned into the phone. "I'm so excited that I get to spend an entire week with you, alone!" She laughed lightly.
"Me either, baby." Randy replied from the other end. "Having you all to my self, without any interuptions, sounds like the best thing ever!"
"I know!" She grinned.
"Look babe, I got to go. My match is soon!" Randy sighed. He hated to have to hang up, just the sound of her voice brightened his day.
"OK.." Max sighed. "I'll talk to you later then." She said holding back tears that began to form once more.
"I'll call you later. Bye baby." He spoke not wanting the conversation to be over.
"Goodbye." She replied, her voice a mere whisper before flipping her phone closed.
--
John didn't know what to think. Max was lying to him about Santino. Who was she dating though? And why didn't she want to tell him? John shook his head, how could he be so dumb?
"Hey!" Max smiled walking in.
John quickly looked up at her before back down to his shoes. "Hi." He grunted.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
He looked up at her once more, ready to explode, but he decided that would only make her mad. "Nothing."
"You sure?" She pressed.
"I'm sure." He raised his voice slightly.
"OK." Max replied backing off. "Good luck in your match."
"Yeah." Was all John said before leaving the room.
Max had no idea what was wrong. Why was John so mad? She'd find out why, but decided it would be best to let him cool off first.
--
The rest of the week had gone by slowly. John was still mad and Max had no idea why. She still hadn't gotten to the bottom of it, but that was the farthest thing from her mind at the moment. She finally got to see Randy again and she was excited. The moment John stopped the car, Max practically ran inside leaving him behind.
Once she found Randys locker room, she went inside and jumped into his arms.
"Happy to see me?" He chuckled.
"Yes!" She grinned before placing a few kisses on his lips.
"I'm very happy to see you too!" He replied with a grin of his own between her kisses. "Ready to go home with me tomorrow?" Randy asked as he picked her up.
"Mhmm." She grinned as her legs automatically wrapped around his waist.
"While you're there with me," He started. "I'd really like to introduce you to my parents."
"Really?" Max asked. "That's a really big step." She said.
"I know, but it's one I'm ready to take." He spoke seriously.
"I'd love to meet them then." She smiled. She couldn't believe Randy was ready to introduce her to his parents. That really was a huge step especially when they hadn't even been intimate yet.
"I'm glad." He smiled, placing a kiss on her lips, one full of passion. "Max?"
"Yes Randy?" She smiled looking into his eyes.
"I.. I.. I don't think I have a match tonight." He said, even though that's not what he wanted to say.
"Then we can hang out here together." She grinned.
"Yeah. Maybe have some more of those delicious strawberrys?" He smirked.
"Mmm, I'll go get some." She smirked back. Unwrapping her legs from his waist, he let her down.
"I'll be waiting." He grinned slyly.
Max placed one more kiss on his lips before walking out the door in search of the concession stand.
"Hey Max!" Cody grinned as she walked toward him.
"Hey Cody!" She grinned back before picking up a plate and begining to place some fruit on it.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Not much, just hungry." She smiled.
"Seen Randy yet?" He asked taking a sip of the water in his hand.
"I just came from his locker room actually."
"My match is up first, so I should go." He said. "It's a triple threat match for a spot on the bragging rights team. Its against John and Ted."
"Oh. Good luck! I hope you win!" She said. "But don't tell Ted I said that." She laughed.
"I won't. See you later!" He replied giving her a quick hug then tossing the bottle into the trash before heading to gurilla.
--
"Hey! John!" MVP ran up to his friend. "Sorry you lost your match!"
"Don't worry about it! I already got my hands full with Orton at Bragging Rights." John replied.
"That's true. But hey, I tried to catch you before your match. I saw Max talking to Cody."
"You sure?" John asked.
"Yeah. They hugged too.. I mean, I don't know if they're just friends or what, but I thought I'd tell you."
"Alright, thanks for the heads up, man!" John replied giving him a pat on the back.
'So she's dating Cody.' He thought. He knew she wasn't going to tell him, so he though up a plan that just might work. He headed to the guest hosts office for the night to put his plan into motion.
The guest host that night was Nancy O'dell. "Hi John." She greeted as he walked in.
"Nancy." He shook her hand. "I want a match tonight. Against Cody Rhodes."
"You just had a match against him." She replied confused.
"I know, I want another one."
"Well, how about this. It will be a tag team match. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase against you, and you're partner, and Bragging Rights opponent, Randy Orton."
"It can't be just a one on one match?" He asked.
"I think this will be much more interesting." She smiled.
--
Max and Randy were in the middle of eating a strawberry when there was a knock at his door. Half of it was in her mouth, and the other half was in his mouth, their lips attached around it. "If that's Cody, I'm gonna kill him!" He said after chewing and swallowing his half.
Max giggled as he got up and went to the door.
"What?" He growled after opening it.
"I was just told to inform you that you have a match." A short, nerdy looking stage hand said nervously. "Its You and John Cena against Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase." He added before Randy could even ask who it was against.
Randy sighed before slamming the door in his face. He was confused, the three of them just had a match, now they were having another. "I wonder who asked for this match." Randy said turning to look at Max.
"I don't know." She shrugged. This was odd.
"I got to get ready." He sighed. "Dammit. I really can't wait till tomorrow. No interuptions, no body to ruin the mood, no one to butt in."
"I..." Max started to reply but was cut off as her cell phone rang. "Hello?" She asked.
"Where are you?" John asked from the other end.
"The Divas locker room." She lied.
"Well, I need you to come to my locker room. I want you to go to the ring with me."
"Oh. OK. I'll be there in a minute." She replied before hanging up. Turning to look at Randy, she blushed when she saw him. He had already began to change into his ring gear, and at the moment was naked from head to toe. "John wants me to go to the ring with him." She said after she turned away.
"Why?" Randy asked.
"I have no idea." She shrugged. "But I should get going then."
"I guess I'll see you out there then." He grinned.
"Yeah." She let the word drag, glancing back she, she frowned as she saw he had already put his trunks on. Moving over to him she kissed him on the lips before going to find her brother.
--
John Cenas music hit as he appeared on stage to thousands of screaming fans. After saluting them like he usually did, he continued to the ring. He held the ropes for Max as she got in the ring to stand beside him for the moment. Max still had no idea why she was out here. John still wouldn't tell her.
"You alright?" John asked over the screams of the crowd. He ofcourse didn't have her out here for her to get hurt, if she was really dating Cody, she'd show some emotion when he got beat up, and he'd be able to see her reaction for himself.
"I'm fine." Max smiled before turning her attention to the top of the ramp when that familiar guitar riff sounded through out the arena. Max kept her eyes on Randy as he slowly stalked to the ring, her eyes were full of, admiration, lust? John couldn't tell for sure, but it definitely wasn't hate.
He kept his eyes on Max for a moment longer before turning his attention to his tag team partner. Who was returning the look Max gave him. The way Randy looked at her was different than they way he usually looked at someone. Randy usually looked at someone as if they were his prey, as if he would strike them at any moment. This look was different. He looked at Max with concern, it looked as if he was speaking to her with his eyes.
Max watched Randy as he posed on the turnbuckle, his belt held high. She thought he looked so sexy. She let a small grin slip from her lips until her brother broke her from her trance. "You should get out of the ring now." John said.
"Sure." Max nodded.
"Hold this for me?" Randy smirked holding out his title to Max, all the while staring at John.
Max reached out to grab, but one look at John, changed her mind. "Hold it yourself." She spat, pushing his hand away. Her eyes said the apology for her.
Randy laughed lightly to himself before sitting it on the ring apron as Max got out of the ring and the bell rang. Randy quickly stood on the apron letting John start the match.
The match started off with John against Cody. Every time John threw a hit, Max seemed unfazed, she also wasn't paying attention to them. All her attention was on Randy, every time he looked over at her, Max was looking at Randy. Their was something going on between those two.
During the match John went to tag Randy in several times, but he wouldn't accept the tag, leaving John to fend for himself. It wasn't long before Randy entered the match, illeagally of course, and kicked his own partner and tossed him out of the ring.
"John!" Max yelled going over to check on her brother. She knew Randy wouldn't play fair tonight, and there was nothing she could do about it, she knew John would do the same though. She managed to help John to his feet when Cody came running their way. Instinctively John ducked out of the way and Cody clotheslined Max.
"Max!" Randy yelled concerned as he went to get out of the ring and check on her. Ted, however, decided to seize this oppurtunity, he grabbed Randy from behind and pulled him to the mat with a roll-up. As soon as the three was counted, Cody and Ted quickly hightailed it up the ramp. Randy slid out of the ring and knelt down next to max. "Max?"
"Ow." She managed to say.
"Cody's gonna pay!" He said through grit teeth before scooping her up in his arms. He carried her up the ramp and to the back. Once there he sat her on a production crate. "You OK?" Randy asked holding her face in his hands.
"I'm fine." She said.
"I'm so sorry Max!" Cody butted in.
"You." Randy growled grabbing Cody by the throat. "What the hell were you thinking!?" He yelled.
"It was an accident! I didn't mean to hit her!" Cody stammered.
"Get the hell out of here!" Randy said shoving him away. "I'll deal with you later!"
"Max?" John yelled as he returned backstage. "Max!" He ran over to her once he spotted her. "You alrig..." He began to ask until he caught Randy with the corner of his eye. "You son of a bitch!" He said before tackling Randy to the ground.
Randy of course quickly battled back.
"Stop!" Max yelled trying to get inbetween them, but it didn't work. The two men still continued to beat each other. "Please stop." Max yelled again as a small crowd began to gather around them.
"What the hell are you doing with my sister!?" John yelled still pummeling Randy, who was covering his head from the blows.
Randy finally managed to get John off of him and pushed him away. After getting to his feet John gathered his cool and looked at Max, who was by Randys side.
"You wanted to get to me so bad you went after my sister? Why? I know you're just using her, I know..."
"I fucking love her!" Randy growled cutting John off.
John didn't say another word. What could he say to that? After a moment of silence John spoke once more. "You're lying."
"No." Randy shook his head at John before turning to look at her. "Max," He spoke softly, moving to stand in front of her. "I love you!"
All kinds of emotions went through Max. Max was speachless, "I..I..I love you too!" She grinned. She leaned in to kiss him when she remembered John was standing near by. "John.." She said looking over at him. "I'm sorry.."
"If you were sorry you wouldn't be with this sorry piece of shit to begin with!" John replied. He truly was hurt. "I can't believe you! After all he's done to me, to dad even!"
"John I.." Max began.
"Save it." John cut her off. "Don't talk to me. I don't want to see you again." Of course he wanted to see her again, she was his sister, but he just didn't want to see her again for a while until he cooled off.
Max didn't say anything more, she knew it would only make things worse. She felt bad for John finding out like this, she felt bad for lying to him for so long. She began to cry as John walked away.
Randy didn't want to say anything yet, so he put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. Max placed her hand over top of his before turning around and wrapping her arms around him. He wrapped his arms around her, stroking her back to comfort her.
--
"John!" Mickie yelled as she chased after him. "John, are you OK?"
"Am I OK?" John asked incredulously as he turned around to face her. "No. I'm not OK! You knew about this the whole time, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did. She asked me not to tell until she was ready. I'm sorry." She apologised.
"You know, you're a good friend, but you're a lousy girlfriend." He replied angrily.
"John, you don't mean that.." Mickie whispered. That really hurt her.
"I do mean it! You knew about this and never told me! How could you not tell me?" He asked.
"I don't know.."
"Get away from me. Leave me alone." John sighed as he walked away from her.
--
"I'm really sorry about what happened." Randy said as they entered his hotel room.
"It's not your fault." She said. "It's my fault. I'm the one who lied about everything. He was bound to find out though." She flopped down on the bed and sighed.
"If you don't want to go with me tomorrow, and you want to stay and straighten things out with your brother, I'll understand." He said moving to sit next to her.
"What? No." She replied. "I still want to go. He'll still be mad and won't listen to anything I have to say. I want to act as if nothing happened and just spend the week with you!" She spoke, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"You sure?" He asked wrapping his arm around her.
She didn't say anything, just nodded her head 'yes'.
"We should get some sleep, our flight leaves in the morning." He said placing a kiss on the top of her head.
Max nodded and got up. She unbuttoned her jeans and slid them off her legs, then removed her shirt. Moving to stand in front of Randy, she grinned and placed her lips on his. After a moment she let her hands trail to the edge of his shirt, her fingers gripping it lightly, and pulled it up and over his head. Once she had his shirt in her hand, she backed up and put it on herself.
"Tease.." Randy chuckled lightly.
"You'll get it soon. I promise!" She said moving back to him and placing her lips on his once more. He wrapped his arms around her slim waist before letting his hand wander down and linger over her rear. He gave it a gentle squeeze before playfully swatting it.
Max let out a squeal before giggling.
"That's funny?" Randy asked, that was not the reaction he was looking for.
"No. I just wasn't expecting it." She laughed again.
Randy sighed before laughing himself. "Next time, you better not laugh." He said as he stood up and roughly took her lips with his.
That kiss made Max go crazy inside, and it made her want more, which she was sure that was his intention. "I won't.." She whispered once the kiss was broke.
Max placed another kiss on his lips before slipping into the bed. Randy stripped the rest of his clothes away then flicked out the light. Walking over to the bed he slipped in behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "I love you, Max." He spoke, his breath hot on her neck.
"I love you too!" She replied.

So that's it for this chapter. I thought of this chapter several different ways, and the first half didn't come out quite the way I wanted, but I guess it's OK.

I will try and update again soon! I'm going to start the next chapter as soon as I post this one!
