A week had passed. Mackenzie was very confused. She wasn't expecting Luke to tell her that he loved her. She felt like he wanted her to say it back but didn't know if she could. She really wanted to talk to Randy about it to get it off her chest. They'd been so busy lately they didn't have the time. Randy was coming to Mackenzie's hotel room to spend some time with Alex. AJ was having a night out with the girls. There was a knock at the door. Mackenzie answered it.
"Hi Randy." She said.
"Hi."
"Come on in." He went in. "Alex look whose here." Alex looked up from sitting on the floor where she was playing with her toys.
"Uncle Wandy!" Alex said excitedly.
"Hi Alex." He said. "What are you doing?"
"Making stuff with Play-Doh."
"Can I make something to?"
"Yeah." "Mommy make something to?"
"Ok." Mackenzie said. They both sat down with Alex and took some Play-Doh. They each made something. "What did you make Alex?"
"A snake."
"Mommy made a flower.
"What you make uncle Wandy?"
"I made a dog." He said.
"That not a doggy silly."
"Yes it is."
"A doggy has this many legs." She said holding up four fingers. "That thing has this many legs." She said holding up two fingers.
"It has four legs."
"Where?"
"Right there." He said pointing.
"I not see them." "You see them mommy?"
"No." Mackenzie said.
"Uncle Wandy's silly."
A few hours later Mackenzie put Alex to bed. She went out and sat on the couch next to Randy.
"Alright what's going on?" Randy asked.
"What?"
"I know something's been on your mind."
"Is it that obvious?"
"I know you."
"Luke told me he loved me."
"When?"
"The day I met his parents."
"How do you feel about him?"
"I care about him a lot but loving him, I'm still far away from that." "I feel bad because I think he wanted me to tell him that I love him to." "I can't say what I don't feel." "When I say I love you to someone I mean it with all my heart." "I don't feel that with Luke yet."
"Is he pressuring you?"
"He says it's fine that I don't say it back." "I think he wants to have a baby." "I'm definitely not ready for that yet." "I would like to try for a little boy but not now."
"I think Luke's moving to fast, Mackenzie."
"Or I just can't handle it." "I don't wanna break up with him." "I don't know what to do."
"I think I know something else that's getting to you to."
"John's birthday next week."
"I know that's been a difficult day for you since he died."
"Yeah." "You're such a good friend Randy." "I mean you listen to all my bullshit problems."
"Hey like I always tell you." "I'm here for you and the girls."
"Yeah but you have your own life you shouldn't always have to worry about mine."
"Mackenzie you're my best friend, that's why I stay around."
"Come here." They hugged.
The next day Mackenzie was at the arena for Raw. The show was about to start. Her office phone rang.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi baby." Luke said.
"Hi."
"I just wanted to call and say have a fun show tonight."
"I will." "I gotta go." "It's almost time to start."
"Ok." "I love you."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Mackenzie hung up the phone and sighed. Randy walked in.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"Don't forget your title."
"Thanks for reminding me." She picked up her belt.
They went out to the ring. Randy had a match with Kane. During the match Mackenzie got up on the apron distracting the referee. It wasn't supposed to happened but Randy ran into Mackenzie knocking her off the apron. She flew out hitting her head on the barricade. When Randy saw what he'd done his face turned to horror. Trainers came out and carried Mackenzie to the back. She was knocked out.
When she came to she was in her office. The trainers told she would be fine but to stay off her feet for the rest of the night. She was laying on the couch in her office with an ice pack on her head. There was a knock at her door.
"Come in." She said. Randy walked in. He sat on the couch and looked down at her. "Did you win the match?"
"The hell with the match." "Are you ok?"
"The trainers say I'm gonna be fine." "They just want me to stay off my feet for the rest of the night."
"I'm so sorry." "I didn't mean it."
"Calm down." "It was an accident." "Look I'm not even bruised." She took the ice pack off of her head. "My head just hurts a little." He hugged her. She hugged him back. "Randy, it's ok."
"I feel bad."
"Don't." "Look at me." He looked at her still leaning down by her face. Her arms were still around him. "I'm fine."
"I just got scared."
"I know."
"If anything ever happened to you I don't know what I'd do."
"Don't worry."
"I'm sorry." He said drifting closer to her lips.
"I know." He kissed her. She kissed him back. It was slow and passionate. It lasted about a minute. They broke the kiss and looked at each other. Randy got up and left without another word.
