Ryder was completely lost, she felt like she was going around in circles for ages, every time she turned a corner there was a corridor that looked exactly the same as the one she had just come down. Eventually she thought she had found it but it was just another corridor. After about 50 minutes she came across the right room. She quickly stuffed her face with whatever she could get and headed off to find the trainer's room.
Randy was sitting on the edge of the massage table in his sweatpants, he couldn't believe after all the crap Ryder had given him about being late that she was late herself.
Ryder ran into the room and slowly caught her breath. She looked up to a judgmental Randy who was looking at her with disappointment.
"You tell me not to be late, yet you're late? Not good enough Ry." He laughed.
"I'm so sorry Randy, I got uh, lost." She sighed.
"I gathered, I was about to come looking for you, thought you had fallen off the edge of the earth." Randy lay down on his stomach as Ryder came over to the table.
"Yeah, well the arenas are big alright. I'm not as use to this as you are." Ryder pouted as she began to work on Randy's muscles; she smiled as she ran her hands over his sculpted body.
Randy loved the way it felt when she massaged him, it was like heaven. "Well get use to it, because I'm to use to you doing this." Randy turned his head to the side and smiled up at Ryder who was smiling back down at him.
After about 45 minutes Ryder was finished. She stepped back and Randy frowned at her. "Already?" he sighed.
"Sorry, I would keep going but my hands are killing me." She shook both of them; the blood didn't circulate to her hands properly after what happened which made them sore easily.
Randy sat up and put his shirt back on; he stood up and walked over to Ryder. She put her hands back down to her side before Randy could get a good look at them.
He didn't want to push it, but he just wished that she would trust him, he wouldn't ever think differently of her because of what happened.
Ryder looked up at Randy and he smiled. "Thanks Ry, you coming to watch the show?"
"Uh, yeah." She tried to shake the bad thoughts out of her head and smiled up at him.
"Okay, well I have to go get ready; I'll see you after the show alright? Don't get too lost." Randy joked as he opened the door.
Ryder frowned and mimicked Randy sarcastically "Shut up!" Randy laughed and gave Ryder a hug, she felt awkward, trying to suppress your feelings for someone is hard when they don't make it easy for you.
"Good luck tonight." Ryder smiled as Randy left the room.
Randy sat in his locker room lacing up his boots in the peace and quiet he needed to get into the zone before his match, until John swung open the door with the biggest smile on his face.
"Dude, you're not going to believe this!" John yelled as he sat across from Randy.
"What." Randy didn't take his eyes off of the ground, still lacing up his boots.
"I saw Ryder, she's here!" John looked like a little kid in a candy store; he noticed that Randy expression stayed the same. "Hello? Did you not hear me?"
"Yes I did, I know she's here." Randy looked up and smiled at John. "It's good to have her back."
"So when are you and Kelly breaking up then?" John smirked, he hated Kelly; she took his best friend away from him.
"Were not." Randy looked back down, fiddling with the laces on his boots.
"Randy!" John stood up. "Last time we spoke about this, you were in love with Ryder. You told me Kelly didn't matter, what happened?" He snapped at Randy who didn't move and inch.
"People change." Randy sighed. "I owe it to Kelly for being here for me, all this time. When all Ryder did was leave." Randy looked up. "She never tried to talk to me after she was gone, how do I know she won't leave again."
John was losing his temper, sure they had all changed over the year but from what Randy told him, he knew Randy was really in love with her, he couldn't just throw that away.
John paced back and forth. "So your gonna give a girl away that made you part of her family, made you feel like you were doing something right, someone you truly love, just because you're scared you would lose her again?" John stopped in front of Randy. "You must be insane."
Randy stood up and looked John in the eye. "I don't want to hut Kelly, we've got a good thing." He started packing his clothes back into his bag. "I'm not gonna give that up for some girl who might not even want to be with me." Randy felt terrible, Ryder wasn't just some girl; but she wasn't his to call his own.
John stared down Randy. "You have lost your mind, she's not some girl and you know it!" John walked over to the door; he quickly looked back at Randy. "If you don't treat her right, someone else will, and that will be the day you regret you ever stopped loving her." John slammed the door.
Randy sat back down, he was right.
After the show, all the superstars and divas decided to go out to a bar, everyone was having a good time drinking and dancing; everyone except Randy.
He didn't want to be there, but Kelly had insisted on dragging him along because she wanted to. All Randy wanted to do was go back to the hotel and sleep, but he was out sitting in a booth watching Kelly dance with some other guy.
Ryder and John were at the bar, they spotted Randy and made a very drunken beeline straight over to him. Ryder sat down next to Randy and placed a shot in front of him while John sat across from them.
"Randy!" Ryder basically yelled in Randy's ear. "Why you look so sad." She made an exaggerated sad face at him.
"I just wanted to go to the hotel, but Kelly brought me here so I could, I dunno watch her dance with some other guy." Randy sighed and took the shot Ryder placed in front of him.
"Aw!" John said to Randy, giving him an 'I told you so' look.
"Don't worry about her Randall!" Ryder smiled. "You could have any girl in the room if you wanted too, you don't need her!" She laughed looking over at Kelly.
Randy looked at Ryder and he just wanted to kick himself for ever calling her just some girl. He didn't want Ryder, he needed her.
Ryder stole John's hat off of him and placed it on her head. "But if you really want me too, I'll go beat that guy up for you. I'm just so gangsta." She giggled.
John stood up and took Ryder's hand. "Come on, I think it's time we got you back to the hotel."
"Fine!" Ryder whined. "Bye Randall." Ryder giggled, giving Randy a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Stay safe, you're too pretty; everyone will be after you." Ryder giggled standing up.
John looked over to Randy. "Don't worry, I'll look after her." He winked and followed her out of the Bar.
Randy had never felt so jealous before in his life, he could tell if John was being serious or just messing with him. Either way he was going to find out.
