A/N: Thanks for reading and reviewing! I really appreciate it!
The next morning, Riley woke later than usual. She dragged herself out of bed and took a shower before dressing for the day. She put on Nike shorts and a t-shirt. For breakfast, she had a bowl a cereal while curled up on her couch watching romantic comedies. Just as the second movie started, the doorbell rang. She opened the door expecting to see a delivery man; instead, it was Dani and Theresa.
"Hey!" they both squealed excitedly. Riley didn't share the same excitement. "Hey y'all. Come in." she said lifelessly. The girls walked in and admired the space. "We tried to call you last night to let you know we were coming, but you didn't answer." Dani said. Riley nodded and went back to the living room where she sank down on the sofa; her visitors followed. "My phone is broken. I ordered a new one; it should be here today." she said quietly. Theresa frowned. "What's wrong?" she asked. Riley sighed. "Teddy broke up with me last night." She said as tears formed in her eyes.
"What?" Dani and Theresa asked simultaneously. Riley nodded. "What happened?" Dani asked as she and Theresa sat on each side of Riley. Riley sniffled and wiped a tear before she explained what happened with Randy and Ted. The girls listened quietly.
Dani and Theresa were secretly proud of Randy for being so forward, but they didn't show it. "So just showed up unannounced?" Theresa asked. Riley nodded. "Did you kiss him back?" Dani asked. Riley nodded. Dani and Theresa looked at each other and smiled. "Do you want to come to Raw with us tonight?" Theresa asked.
"No. I don't want to be anywhere near Randy." Riley said. Dani laughed. "Nobody said anything about you seeing Randy." she said. "You expect me to believe that you aren't going to force me to talk to him?" she asked.
"We aren't going to make you do anything you don't already want to do." Theresa said. Riley smiled softly and stood from the couch. "Make yourselves at home. I'll be ready in a minute." She said.
In the living room, Dani and Theresa called Randy. Hello? Hey Randy. It's Dani. I know. Caller ID. What's up? Riley is coming to Raw with us, so you better not mess this up! Really? I didn't think she would come. Yeah. I'm glad you showed up here yesterday, but did you have to kiss her in front of Ted? She told you about that? Yeah. I have to go, she's coming. Talk to you soon. Alright bye. And thanks. You're welcome.
Riley had come down stairs dressed in a simple, tight, white V-neck t-shirt and dark blue skinny jeans with her cowgirl boots. She had straightened her hair and put on makeup. "I can't leave until my phone gets here." She told the girls. They nodded. "Did they say what time it would be here?" Dani asked. Riley nodded and looked online to track her order. "It says it should be here by 12:30." She said. "It's 12 now; we can wait." Theresa said. Just then, the doorbell rang; Riley opened the door and signed for the package the delivery man held under his arm. "Thank you." Riley said as she closed the door. She activated the phone and the three women drove to the arena.
As Riley walked backstage with Theresa and Dani, the other superstars and divas stared. She smiled and spoke to a few of them. They turned a corner and stood before Kristen and John. John kissed Kristen on the cheek before walking away; he stayed within earshot, though.
Kristen smiled at the women. "Hey! How are you?" she asked Riley. She was surprisingly friendly. "I'm good, Kristen. How are you?" she asked out of pure cordiality; she really didn't care. "I'm great. John and I are expecting a baby soon." she said rubbing her slightly swollen belly. "Wow. Congratulations." Riley said. Kristen smiled. "Thanks. Speaking of babies, have you seen Samantha's?" she asked showing Riley a picture on her phone.
Riley stared at the photo for a few seconds. The baby looked strange to Riley, but she couldn't figure out why. He had every bit of Sam in his face, but Riley couldn't see Randy in the baby. She just shrugged and scrolled through the rest of the baby's pictures. "Isn't he adorable? He's named after Randy." Kristen said. She was trying to get under Riley's skin and it was working.
Riley smirked. "Well, if you have a boy, you can name him after his father. You can even call him DJ for short." She said. Kristen, Dani, and Theresa all frowned in confusion. "DJ?" Kristen asked. Riley nodded. "Yeah. Dolph is the father right? Or did y'all stop fucking long enough for John to take a turn?" Riley asked. Dani and Theresa's eyes went wide; they weren't expecting Riley to bring that up.
John went over to Kristen. "What is she talking about?" John asked. "Nothing, babe. She's just jealous." Kristen said. "Oh really? Why don't we look at your messages and see what they have to say?" Riley said as she searched through Kristen's phone. "Oh, look! Here they are. Have a look, Johnny." She said, handing John the phone.
The messages put Kristen in a compromising position. She and Dolph had been exchanging nude photos; they had set up dinner dates; they had been discussing several recent sexual rendezvous'.
Kristen tried to take the phone from Riley, but she failed. John took the phone and read the messages to himself. "Y'all enjoy the show." Riley said with a wave as she walked away. A few seconds later, Riley heard fighting. She turned around and saw Dolph and John going at it. Kristen was crying in a corner; John had broken up with her. Riley laughed out loud. She was bitter and there was no denying it. If she couldn't be happy no one would be.
Riley strutted down the hallways smiling and waving at all the superstars. Riley wanted to find someone to spend the night with after the show; she didn't want to be alone. She threw all of her lady-like tendencies out the window. Tonight, Riley was going to be a common whore; that is, until she ran into Randy.
"Hey Riley." Randy said quietly. Riley scoffed and walked past him. He grabbed her arm and turned her around to face him. "I'm sorry, Riley! I messed up; I admit it. But dammit at least let me explain!" he said. Riley sighed. She had a few hours to kill before the show started so she agreed. Randy pulled her by her wrist and dragged her to his dressing room. Riley closed and locked the door; she stood with her arms folded. "Sit down and talk." She ordered. Randy did as he was told.
Randy sat on the couch and took a deep breath. "It started when you got discharged from the hospital. That next day, Sam called me and she was crying." He started. Riley rolled her eyes when she heard Sam's name. "She said she missed me and that she was lonely. She had convinced me that our marriage was worthy of being salvaged so I went home when you left for Tennessee. We had sex but I left right after. There was no pillow talk or anything like that." Randy said.
Riley was silent, listening. "Then I didn't see her again until she told me she was pregnant. I knew that it wasn't my baby from the start." He said. "If you knew it wasn't your baby, why did you let her stick around?" Riley asked. "I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I put a pregnant woman out on her own." He said. Riley scoffed. "But you were okay with breaking my heart?" she asked.
Randy sighed. "Don't do this, Riley." He said. "Do what? Call you out on your faults? That's what your problem is! Nobody ever tells you when you've fucked up. They just let you get away with because of who you are. You are not immune to mistakes, Randy." Randy nodded. "I know. I've learned that over the last six months." He said.
She stood quietly. "Say something. Please?" Randy said. Riley shook her head as tears welled up in her eyes. Randy stood to try to hug her. She pushed away from him. "What's wrong?" Randy asked. Riley's jaw clenched as she spoke through her teeth. "I hate you! I hate you so much!" she shouted. Randy didn't know where this was coming from. He knew that Riley was heartbroken and upset with him, but he didn't think she hated him.
"I know I messed up, but why do you have to hate me?" he asked. Riley sobbed and sniffled. "I don't hate you for that. I hate you because I love you." She said quietly. Randy tried to hug her again; this time, she didn't push him away. Instead she cried loudly into his chest. "I shouldn't be in love with a man who lied to me! I shouldn't want to be with him every second of every day! I shouldn't be mad that he ran off with his wife! I hate that I'm in love with you, Randy!" she said into his chest. Randy was confused. "So you hate me because you love me?" he asked to be sure. Riley nodded.
Randy smiled. "Would it make you hate me less if I told you that I literally kicked Sam to the curb three months ago?" he asked. Riley looked up at him. "You did?" she asked. Randy nodded. "Yep. I filed for divorce, too." He said. "Seriously?" Riley asked. "I sure did. I love you and I don't want to start us off again on the wrong foot." He said.
Riley glared at him. "What makes you think we're getting back together?" she asked. Randy frowned. "I'm sorry. I thought— I though you…" he said letting his statement trail off. Riley laughed. She wrapped her arms around Randy's neck and kissed him with everything he had.
When they broke the kiss, Riley looked into Randy's eyes and she noticed the guilt in his eyes from the night before was gone. She smiled and pecked his lips. She and Randy laid on the couch and talked for a nearly two hours; catching up and admitting mistakes between them both.
Randy looked at the time and gasped. "I need to get ready!" he said as he sprang up from the couch to get his boots. He sat back down on the couch to lace them up. Riley sat up. "How did you know it wasn't your baby?" she asked. Randy chuckled. "I got a vasectomy when I married her. I wanted to focus on my career. If I had a kid, I would have wanted to be around 24/7." He said.
Riley nodded. "You know she named the baby after you, right?" Riley asked. Randy was shocked. "She did what?" he asked. Riley laughed. "She named her son Randal Keith Orton, Jr." Riley said. Randy groaned and finished up his boots.
When he stood up, Riley grabbed his arm and pulled him back to the couch. "What's wrong?" Randy asked. "If we're going to do this, I have a few requests." She said. Randy smiled. "What are they?" he asked. Riley sighed. "First of all, I don't want to be your secret love affair. I want you to be proud to be with me." She said. Randy smiled and pecked her lips. "Done." He said.
"What else?" he asked. Riley grinned. "You have to be okay with me being the same crazy WWE fan I was when we met." She said. Randy smiled and nodded. "Okay." He said with. Riley squealed. "Thank you!" she said excitedly. Randy laughed. "You should get going. The show is starting soon." he said. Riley nodded and kissed Randy before she left.
Randy smiled as the dressing room door closed. He did a few stretches and jumps before he took his place backstage. He couldn't stop smiling; he knew he had to keep a straight face for his match, but he was too happy to not smile.
When Riley found her seat, Dani and Theresa were already seated. "Hey, y'all!" she said happily. Dani and Theresa smiled at her. "Hey, sweetie." Dani said. Riley looked at the women and hugged them both. "Thank y'all for making me come tonight. And for making Randy send me roses. And for making Randy come see me yesterday. And for whatever else you made him do." She said.
Theresa tried her best to act confused. "What are you talking about?" she asked. Riley just smiled. "Thanks." She said. The other two women just smiled and focused on the ring. The show was starting.
Wade Barrett's music hit and Riley jumped up from her seat; she screamed at the top of her lungs. The camera man panned over to her section and caught her on camera. Randy was watching backstage and laughed. He pulled out his cell and sent Riley a text. I hope you'll give me the same reaction you just gave Wade. :(
Riley felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She laughed and sent a reply. You might get something better. ;) She put her phone away and enjoyed the match. Soon, the bell rang again when Wade won the match.
3MB, Team Hell No, Team Rhodes Scholars, and Antonio Cesaro all drew a huge reaction from Riley. The camera's continuously focused on her section because of its proximity to the announce table. Randy watched backstage and smiled at Riley's excitement; he thought she was adorable.
Randy's smile faded when Fandango's theme started. He knew how Riley felt about the ballroom dancer. Randy nearly growled when he saw the way the man was looking at Riley. He was livid; he couldn't watch for long, though. His match was right after Fandango's segment. He made his way to the curtain.
When he got there, he passed Fandango. "Could you go out there during the break and invite the redhead in the white t-shirt backstage?" Fandango asked one of the stage managers. They older lady nodded and made a note. Randy heard the man's request and he had to make sure everybody knew that the redhead was his.
His music hit and he walked out to the ramp and stopped to wait for Sheamus; his tag partner for the night. They walked down the ramp in sync before getting in the ring. Randy looked over at Riley and saw that she sat emotionless. She smiled and winked at him. He went to the ring post closest to her and did his signature pose all the while keeping his eyes on her.
He jumped down and the match handicap match against Big Show started. Riley cheered for Randy throughout the entire match; Randy's heart swelled to hear her encouragement. Eventually, Randy hit Show with a DDT from the top rope and coiled for an RKO. Riley was beside herself at the sight of Randy low on the mat; his back was arched and his body glistened in sweat and oil. She licked her lips without realizing it. Soon enough, Randy jumped up with the sexiest RKO Riley had ever seen from him. As Randy pinned his opponent, Riley jumped up and cheered loudly.
The referee raised Randy's hand in victory. Randy got out of ring and made his way to where Riley was standing behind the barricade. Before Riley could do or say anything, Randy crashed his lips to hers and explored her mouth with is tongue. Riley threw her arms around his neck and kissed him back. When Riley whimpered for air, Randy broke the kiss only to peck her lips again. The whole make out session was caught on camera and broadcasted live for everyone at the arena and everyone at home to see. The audience went wild at the scene. Even Dani and Theresa were shocked by Randy's actions. Randy smiled at Riley and winked before walking back stage.
John's segment was next. Riley took that time to check her messages and touch up her makeup. She was so uninterested in what he was saying. Before she knew it, exiting music was playing to indicate the end of the show.
When the show was over, the three women stood and went backstage. Riley bobbed and weaved through the crowd of fans in the arena. She wanted to find Randy as soon as possible so they can finish behind closed doors what they started in front of the whole world.
When she found him, his back was turned; he was talking to Stephen. Riley ran up behind him and jumped on his back, wrapping her arms around his neck and shoulder; her legs around his body; she licked the shell of his ear. "You want a piece of me?" she asked with a seductive whisper. She breathed in his natural scent mixed with his body wash and cologne.
Stephen laughed and said good bye to Randy as Riley continued to lick and nibble at Randy's ear. Randy grabbed Riley's legs and moaned softly. "I don't want to hurt you, Riley." He said empathetically. Riley sighed. "I'll be okay. The hospital isn't that far from here." She said. Randy chuckled. "Fine. Whatever you want; you'll get." He said.
