Chapter 12
Later that afternoon, Randy and Alexis walked through the security doors at the arena hand in hand. Everyone stopped what they were doing and just watched as the couple walked through the backstage area. John and Maria were the only ones not phased by Randy and Alexis.
"Think anyone noticed?" Randy asked sarcastically.
"Who cares. But we do have an audience." Alexis stated.
"Well then, let's really give them something to talk about." Randy stated.
"What are you going to do?" John asked.
"And do you really think that's a good idea?" Maria asked.
"We'll just have to wait and see." Randy stated with his evil grin.
"Randy! What are you going to do?" Alexis asked.
Randy didn't say anything as he wrapped an arm around Alexis's back and pulled her close to him. He caressed her face with his hand before leaning into her and kissing her passionately. John and Maria watched as everyone stood with their mouths open and their eyes as wide as they could get.
"It's going to be an interesting night." Maria said to John.
"Yeah, you're telling me." John responded.
Randy and Alexis continued their walk to his dressing room where she gave him a very passionate kiss before he went into the room. Maria came over to Alexis and grabbed her arm and pulled her into the Diva's locker room.
"Are you asking to get your ass kicked?" Maria asked.
"Nope. We are just doing what we want to do. So what if the other girls around here get jealous. It's their loss and my gain." Alexis answered. "Don't worry. Randy knows what he is doing."
"Ok. We are the first Diva's here, so as of right now only about 10 other stars saw yours and Randy's PDA. Their mouths dropped open and I'm sure that rumors are going to start flying soon." Maria responded.
"So let them talk. The McMahon's, my family, Randy's family, you and John all know the truth. So it really doesn't matter to us what anyone else says." Alexis stated.
"You have more guts than I ever would." Maria responded.
"So when are you and John going to finally hook up?" Alexis asked.
"Me and John? Yeah right. That'll never happen." Maria answered blushing a little.
"Uhh huh. Sure. We'll see about that." Alexis responded as she headed out of the locker room.
As Alexis roamed the halls of the arena she became so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't hear Stephanie calling her name.
"Alexis.. Alexis… ALEXIS!" Stephanie yelled.
"Sorry, Stephanie. I was lost in my thoughts." Alexis finally snapped out of it.
"It's ok. I used to do that all the time. So I just wanted to see how you were doing with the pregnancy and everything?" Stephanie responded.
"Doing good so far. Almost 3 ½ months along. Peanut finally stopped making me sick everyday." Alexis stated.
"Peanut?" Stephanie asked trying not to giggle.
"Yeah. Randy and I are calling the baby "Peanut" until we know if we are having a boy or a girl." Alexis smiled.
"That's cute. I never would have imagined Randy being cute and sentimental like that." Stephanie stated. "It's definitely a different side of him."
"Yeah. I guess it is. Well I need to go get ready for Randy's match. I'll see you later." Alexis stated as she headed back towards the Diva's locker room.
As Alexis was walking into the locker room, she heard a few familiar voices talking. She stopped long enough to hear what they were saying.
"I can't believe that she would do that." Michelle stated.
"Well, Phil saw it first hand." Candice stated.
"Can we say ring rat?" Maryse asked.
"I wouldn't go that far." Beth stated.
"I would." Michelle stated.
"And what about him? He's married." Maryse asked.
"It's nice to know that I am the talk of the locker room!" Alexis stated. "And by the way, you might want to get your facts straight before going around and spreading rumors."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Maryse asked.
"Find out for yourself. Now if you will excuse me, I have better things to do with my time than to deal with a bunch of gossiping Diva's." Alexis stated as she grabbed her bag and turned to leave.
"Yeah, like Randy." Maryse stated with a laugh.
"Shut up, Maryse." Beth stated.
"You know Maryse, if I had the time or energy to deal with you I would, but like I said I have better things to do with my time." Alexis stated as she left the locker room.
Alexis quickly headed towards Randy's dressing room. As she turned the corner, she ran into John. He could tell something was bothering her, but she wouldn't tell him anything. John sent Maria a text message about Alexis's attitude.
Hey. I think something is seriously bothering Lexi.
Why do you say that?
She is not her usual self.
I'll see if I can find out anything. Where is she?
Heading towards Randy's dressing room. His match is up next.
Ok. After his match I will talk to her.
Cool. Hey, what are you doing after the show?
Nothing as far as I know. Why?
Want to go get something to eat after the show?
Uh, sure. Meet you by the exit doors after the show.
Sounds good.
Randy could tell something was bothering Alexis as well, but he had to wait until after his match to find out what was going on. During Randy's match, Alexis stood ringside and cheered him on. Alexis tried to ignore what Maryse had said about her, but deep down it bothered her. And it didn't help that the commentators were also talking about her as if she couldn't hear them.
"It seems like love or lust is in the air around here tonight." Jerry stated.
"Why do you say that?" Matt asked.
"I heard that before the show, a few of the stars witnessed Randy Orton and Alexis Martin in a very deep kiss backstage." Jerry answered.
"Are you sure it wasn't just for fun? You know how these two like to play around and tease everyone." Matt responded.
"You never know. After all we are talking about Randy Orton." Jerry stated.
After the match was over, Alexis couldn't wait to get backstage and hide in Randy's dressing room. She just couldn't take it anymore. Randy waited until they were in his dressing room to talk to her.
"Lexi, what's wrong?" Randy asked.
"We are definitely the talk of the Diva's locker room. I knew we would be, but I didn't think that what they would say would bother me so much." Alexis answered.
"What did they say?" Randy asked nervously.
"They called me a ring rat." Alexis answered as she sat down on the small couch.
"Don't pay any attention to them. They are all just jealous." Randy stated. "Why don't you change in here while I shower and then we can get out of here for the night?"
"Sounds good to me. I'm going to text Ria." Alexis stated.
"Ok. How is our peanut doing?" Randy asked.
"Peanut is fine. Go take your shower." Alexis answered with a small smile.
Hey Ria. I'm in Randy's dressing room. We are going to head out of here soon.
Ok. Is everything ok?
It will be. I just hate being called names.
Who called you names? I'll kick their ass!
Whoa there. Maryse called me a ring rat as they were talking about me in the locker room earlier.
Aww! Just ignore her. She's not worth it, trust me. John asked me out after the show.
I plan on it. Really? It's about time!
Yeah, I know. I can't wait.
Randy and I are probably just going to head back to the hotel and veg out. I really don't feel like going out anywhere.
Sounds like fun for you. I don't blame you. Take care of that baby too. TTYL -RIA
I will. TTYL -LEX
After Alexis finished changing and Randy was dressed after his shower, they tried to get out of the arena without being spotted, but no such luck. Maryse and Phil followed them towards the exit of the arena, only Randy and Alexis didn't know it yet.
Alexis had a strange feeling that they were being followed. They arrived back at the hotel and proceeded to head towards their room. Alexis kept looking over her shoulder, but didn't see anyone. Randy couldn't help but notice Alexis's strange behavior.
"Lexi, what are you doing?" Randy asked annoyed.
"I have this feeling like we are being followed." Alexis answered.
"So what if we are. What are they going to do? Run to Vince or Samantha? You need to stop worrying about all this. Everything is going to be just fine. Let's get to our room and enjoy some one on one time alone." Randy stated as he put his arm around her.
"Sounds good to me." Alexis stated.
Randy and Alexis finally made it to their room. Maryse and Phil decided to do some of their own investigative work on the two. It wasn't until Phil found Randy's website that he decided that he didn't want anything to do with Maryse's plan.
"Maryse, Randy got a divorce from Samantha a few months ago." Phil stated.
"So what. I still want her head on a platter." Maryse stated.
"MARYSE! Listen to what I am saying. Leave them alone. They aren't doing anything wrong. He is legally divorced and allowed to date whomever he wants. And another thing, if you don't stop this, I will tell Stephanie." Phil demanded.
"I don't have to listen to you. Get out!" Maryse demanded.
As Phil left Maryse's room he bumped into Maria who was heading to her room to get ready for her date with John.
"Hey Phil. What's wrong?" Maria asked.
"Maryse is what's wrong. She's seriously lost it." Phil answered.
"Does this have anything to do with Lexi and Randy?" Maria asked.
"Actually it has everything to do with them. She is intent on following them and causing them problems. I saw on his website that he is divorced from Samantha. Is that correct?" Phil answered.
"Yes. He and Samantha divorced about 3 ½ months ago." Maria responded. "I had heard that she called Lexi a ring rat. Lexi is my best friend and she is by no means a ring rat."
"I know she's not. Randy is the first star she has dated right?" Phil asked.
"Right. So how do we get Maryse to stop whatever she is trying to do?" Maria answered.
"I'll think of something and get back to you. I need to find Randy and Alexis first." Phil stated.
After finding Randy and Alexis and telling them what Maryse was trying to do, the three of them headed back to the arena in hopes of catching Stephanie or Vince. And they were in luck. Stephanie was still in her office working when they got there.
Phil, Alexis and Randy told Stephanie everything that was going on. Stephanie didn't like what she was hearing as she had a very low tolerance for stars to be calling others names and stalking them. Stephanie told them that she would call Maryse first thing in the morning and have a meeting with her. The next morning Maryse was suspended and everyone else was given fair warning about the incident.
