Okay, thanks for the reviews, as always. And thank you for the constructive criticism. It is always welcome! I need all the help I can get. So thanks, yah, now on to the new chapter. And to answer a few questions, I wanted to develop a strong friendship between Randy and Breanne first, just to torture them a little, lol. Anyway. I hope to make my fanfic a good one, so bare with me and be patient. I'm someone who likes to work detail, I know that can be a bad thing, but I am going to make it as good as I can, so just hang in there. Thank you for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it. Now on to chapter 10.

Chapter 10: Just Friends……For Now.

~The next morning~

Randy lay awake in the bed. The sun was shining through the shades. He knew it had to be early. He looked down at the sleeping beauty he held in his arms. She was fast asleep. He didn't want to startle her like last time, so he decided to try and get up before she awoke. He was pretty sure she wouldn't remember him holding her last night, so he would just wake her up in an hour or so. 'Yah, that could work.' Randy slipped out of the bed and into the bathroom without making an audible sound.

Thirty minutes later, Randy had showered, dressed, and called a cab. He walked over to where Annie lay sleeping. "Hey, Annie, wake up," He rubbed her back.

"Hmm…what?" Breanne was coming to, slowly but surely. She smiled when she saw Randy, "Hey. Did you sleep okay on the couch?"

"Yah, it was alright," Randy smiled. She didn't remember. 'Good. I don't want things to get weird. We're friends. We have to leave it at that.'

"Hey, I just called a cab, I'm about to head out. I've got to catch up with Paul and the others. We still have a lot of stuff to go over before Raw next Monday." Randy paused, "I'm sure you have things you have to do too."

"Yah," Breanne was fully awake now, "It was fun hanging out with you. I'm glad we're friends now." She laughed a little, "You know, I think you're the first friend I've gained at the WWE."

"Well, the first week is always tough, just be glad your briefcase hasn't ended up in a shower yet. That's one of the favorite initiations pranks backstage." Randy spoke from experience.

"Yah, I guess that's always one thing to be thankful for." Breanne yawned, "Anyway, it was fun hanging out, I hope we can do it again, ya know? But you're right, I've got a meeting at noon today, so come by my office sometime and say hi."

"I will, you can count on it."

"Okay, well, I guess I'll see you Monday. I'm gonna get dressed and look for the name of the hotel the rest of the staff is staying at." Breanne said as she rolled out of bed and started going through some suitcases to find something to wear.

"Alright, I'll see you there." Randy said as he picked up his suitcases and started walking toward the door.

"Okay, see you later, Randy, it was fun traveling with you," she laughed.

"Yah, fun and stressful. I thought we were going to miss our flight twice. And then we got here and had to share a honey moon sweet." Randy laughed as well, "this has definitely been one for the books."

"No kidding." Annie smiled.

"Yah, well, I'll see ya later, my cab's here. Have fun in your meetings." And with that he was out the door.

Breanne sat in her room thinking for the better part of the day. She had been having so much fun the past couple days, and now it was time to get back to business. She found herself thinking about the friendship she had developed with Randy.

She had finally admitted to herself that she had a crush on him. How could she not after that dream she had last night? She had been dreaming about her mother until he came along and held her in his arms and rocked her back to sleep. She had wanted it to be real so badly, but she knew it was only a dream. Breanne knew a guy like that could never be interested in her. She was too plain and shy, where as he was exciting and outgoing. She would deal with it, and be his friend. That was all he asked of her, and that much she would gladly do.

Breanne thought on it for the better part of the morning, and decided that she was happy with the outcome. Taking a deep breath of air, happy at her decision and new found epiphany, Breanne turned her attention to preparations for her meetings. She was really starting to like her job. 'Things are just so much easier when you have a friend to talk to.' She smiled at the thought and finally began.

Randy was in his rental car on the way to meet with Paul and the rest of Evolution. He had been doing a lot of thinking as well. He had been trying to sort out all of his thoughts and finally had come up with and outcome.

He had decided that he would develop his friendship with Annie before jumping the gun. He had finally admitted to himself that he did like her, but he didn't want to jump the gun. He saw Annie as a long term type of person, and if he were ever going to get involved in a serious relationship, he wanted to know that person really well first. He truly believe that best of friends make the best of lovers, and he was willing to take time to get to know Annie. 'That's odd,' he laughed. He couldn't remember ever taking the time to get to know a woman. Then again, he had never met anyone like Annie before.

She wasn't built like a diva, but she has her own assets. 'Yah, like a personality,' he thought to himself, 'a rare quality in any woman who works for the WWE. Aside from the McMahon women.' Randy wasn't all that into the divas, he thought they all had their own qualities, but they were just something pretty to look at. Sure, his gimmick might be the horny, smart-ass rookie, but he himself, was not.

Randy smiled as he pulled into the hotel parking lot. He, like Breanne, was content with his decision.

Sorry, that it isn't very long, but I thought about my last chapters, and if I had done this any other way, then my story wouldn't be interesting. I realized this, and so I thought it would be cool if I kind of ya know…Hell…I don't even know. You want me to be straight with ya'll? I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I'M GOING TO DO YET, BUT I'M NOT ABOUT TO MAKE THIS ROMANCE THAT SIMPLE!!! I read over the chapters, and I got a review from Lisa, and I agree. I need to throw some conflict in, and that's what I'm going to do. So thank you Lisa for the idea, I'm stealing it, and thank you icess-america.

To Y2J's princess, I'm sorry to hear that. I used to get scared when I was younger about losing my mom, and sometimes I still do. I know she won't be around forever, and I can't imagine my life without my mom, and so I just decided to put something like that into my story. And it makes me feel really good to hear that my story had such an emotional impact on you, I myself love fanfics that can evoke that kind of emotion from me. Thank you.

Anyway, please review and I promise a great chapter 11 on Monday or Tuesday. Good night and God bless. Wow, I can't believe I did 3 chapters in one day. I'm on a roll or something.
