A/N: So another long time in between updates…so sorry everybody! Finals time is here and I'm stressing out so friggin much! Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter! Read it and lemme know what you think!
Chapter ThirteenJohn opened his eyes and gazed around the room. The television was off now and the people who once occupied the couch and the floor had left. Then he looked at the clock.
"1:47?" Damn time flies," he thought.
Then he looked down at his chest where he saw Vee laying there, looking like an angel and sleeping peacefully. He gently moved her head to the pillow and stood up, careful not to wake her, and went into the bathroom. He leaned against the sink and looked at himself in the mirror. He thought about the young, beautiful woman sleeping in his bed right now. John wanted to be with Vee more than anything in the world. He hated for her to be in so much pain all the time. He knew he could make her happy if she would give him the chance. John turned off the light and walked out of the bathroom.
When he came out he saw that Vee was now sitting up and awake. When she saw John emerge from the bathroom, she looked up at him and gave him a small smile.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey," John responded as he took a seat next to her on the bed.
The two sat in silence for a minute. Both were unsure about what they should do now that they were alone, and they were both thinking about what had happened earlier in the night before everyone had come over to watch the movie.
There was no doubt that they wanted each other at that very moment. Finally, John couldn't take it anymore. Without any warning, John leaned in and gave Vee the most passionate kiss he could. At first she resisted but the Vee slowly found she was giving in to him. Everything John did made her body go crazy. The way he touched her, held her, and kissed her made her body respond in ways that Randy never could.
Randy.
No matter what situation she was in, Vee couldn't get Randy out of her head. She had called off her engagement of only two days earlier that night and now here she was…making out with John. Just as John was leaning Vee back on the bed and slipping his hand up her shirt, she put her hands on to his chest to push him off.
"John…we need…to stop…" she breathed heavily. He looked at her with confusion.
"What…why?"
"Because John, I just gave Randy the ring back today. I mean, I was with him for two years…only him. And no matter how much I hate him at this moment, there's…there's still feelings that I have for him in my heart. This…with you and me…it's just all too much, too soon," Vee said trying to fight back the tears that were threatening to fall.
John sighed in frustration but he knew deep down she was right. And if he was going to make love to Vee he would have to know that she was in love with him and did not have any feelings, whatsoever, for Randy.
Vee looked away from John to avoid his eyes.
"I think I should go now," she said as she got up to leave and go back to her hotel room. He grabbed her hand and stood up to meet her eyes.
"I'm not going to rush you into anything Vee. As much time as you need to get over Randy, I'll give it to you," he said and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek.
She gave him a small smile.
"Thank you John," she said and left the room.

Finally it was Sunday and the Pay-Per-View was tonight. It had been a very stressful rest of the week for Vee. She had tons of work to do and was running around all week long like chicken with its head cut off. Mr. McMahon put most of the workload on her and she was basically put in charge of every thing the superstars did for that week. Not to mention that her personal life had started to suck even more.
After her night watching movies in John's room she hadn't seen much of him. He did have a lot of promotional stuff to do but he usually found the time to at least call Vee once everyday. And when the two did see each other he acted really weird around her…like he was mad at her even though he said he would give her as much time as she needed. He would hardly even speak to her or say anything other than "hey".
And Randy had been calling her nonstop trying to get her to talk to him. As far as she was concerned, Vee didn't have anything to say to her ex-fiancé. He made his choice about speaking to her when he decided to sleep with Candice.
Vee was quickly walking through the halls of the arena digging in her bag trying to find the list of wrestlers that she needed to keep up with for the night. She had everyone else's copy but could not find her own.
"Dammit…I know it's in here somewhere…I just looked at it…" Vee thought. After she was unsuccessful in finding it, she let out a loud, frustrated sigh.
"Shit!" she said. Just then she heard heels clicking behind her. Luckily it was Tenisha. Vee quickly scurried in her direction.
"Tenisha, you have a copy of all the lists right?
"Yeah," she replied.
"Let me see mine…I can't find it anywhere." Tenisha handed Vee her list. Vee glanced at it and let out a loud angry sigh again. She had been doing that a lot this week.
"What? What is it?" Tenisha asked.
"Looks like the next person on my list is the ONE person I did not want to see tonight…or any night for that matter," Vee said as she ruffled her hair a bit.
"Oh…Randy?" Tenisha said, already knowing the answer.
"Mm hmm," Vee said as she carefully gazed over the list. Then she looked up at Tenisha.
"You wouldn't want to take him over for me would you?" Vee asked.
"Hell no! I'd get fired for stabbing one of the most popular wrestlers in the company," Tenisha said without any hint of humor in her voice. Vee rolled her eyes.
"Well then I better get moving…he has a promo in…thirty minutes." With that Vee headed towards his locker room.

She felt like she had just walked death row and was about to be executed. Vee hadn't seen or spoken to Randy in about four days and she had no plans on doing so but now she had no choice. Quite honestly, Vee couldn't believe she was actually doing this. Granted she really had no choice but she didn't see herself actually going through with it. She slowly walked up to the door and took a deep breath before knocking lightly. After a few seconds, Randy answered the door. When she looked up at him she was somewhat shocked to see what she did.
Randy looked like shit. He was pale and his hair was not at it's best like usual. He appeared to have bags under his eyes and he looked like he hadn't had any sleep in days. What Vee was most surprised to see was the look in his eyes. They were once so bright and full of fire and mesmerizing. Now they just looked a dull blue and dead. They also looked very cold and full of pain at the same time. He moved aside so Vee could step inside.
"Hey," he said quietly not even being able looking at her. After she left that night at his house he hadn't been able to get the look of hurt she had in her eyes out of his head.
Flashback:
"BABY! WAIT!" Randy yelled after her as he tried not to trip over the sheets and run to catch up with her.
Vee sped her pace up and grabbed her keys off the table and ran out the door. Randy was at the bottom of the steps and almost caught up with her.
"Vanessa! Baby…please…" Randy tried to say before he was greeted with the slamming of the door.
"Wait," Randy said but she didn't hear him. He leaned back against the door and banged his head on it a few times.
"Shit," he muttered to himself. "How did I let this happen?"
Randy put his head in his hands as he walked back up the stairs to the bedroom. When he got
there, Candice was laying on the bed wrapped up in the comforter. Randy looked at her and rolled his eyes. He walked over to the dresser and got out a pair of shorts.
"Is that bitch gone?" Candice asked as she looked at her nails.
Randy glared at her. "Vee is not a bitch and as matter of fact…I think it's time for you to get gone," he said coldly as he sat on the opposite end of the bed, as far away from Candice as he could get. Candice crawled seductively over to Randy and leaned against his back.
"We weren't done yet…she interrupted our fun and I think…" Randy cut her off and pushed her off of him.
"No Candice…we are done! Completely and totally finished! Now get your clothes on and get the fuck out of my house right now!" he yelled at her. Candice was completely hurt but she got off the bed and got her clothes that were scattered around the room.
"Fine Randy…that's just fine…but you can say goodbye to the best piece of ass that you'll ever get!"
"That's all you are anyways! GOODBYE!" he said as she left the room. He waited until he heard the door close then he fell back onto the bed. He looked over at the bedside table and glanced at the picture of Vee that was next to his bed. He reached over and picked it up. He smiled at it. She was truly the most beautiful woman he knew…inside and out. She always gave him the benefit of the doubt no matter what. Even after all of the times she'd seen him flirting with other girls she thought nothing of it and gave him her full trust. And now he had completely let her down and broken her heart at the same time.
"What the hell am I going to do?" he thought to himself and buried his head in his hands.
End of flashbackVee didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say to him. She walked over to the couch and put some papers out on the table in front of it.
"Wow…this is awkward," Vee thought to herself. She didn't want Randy to start talking to her about their relationship so she started to speak about his events for the night.
"Okay…you have an interview to do with Maria in thirty minutes and then you have your match after that…then you'll be done."
Randy simply nodded his head.
"That's it," Vee said and started to put her stuff back into her bag. She stood up to leave when Randy grabbed her arm. She turned back around to face him.
"Is there something that you need?" she asked.
Randy stood up to meet her eyes. "Yeah there is…I need you to listen to me," he said. Vee just rolled her eyes and turned to leave but Randy held onto her arm tightly. Vee sighed and once again turned to face Randy.
"Look Randy…I am at work and I am not about to talk to you about anything other than a wrestling ring right now so unless you need something that relates to WWE I suggest you let me go." He still didn't let her arm loose.
"I know you don't have shit to say to me and you don't want to hear a damn word I have to say but please just give me five minutes…that's it…then you can leave and never speak to me again if you don't want to."
He looked at her with pleading eyes that were brimming with tears. In all they time they've known each other Vee had only seen Randy cry once…and that was when he won the World Heavyweight championship. Seeing him like this made Vee give in and want to hear what he had to say.
"Five minutes…that's it."
Randy loosened his grip on her arm and then slid down to her hand to try and hold it. Vee quickly snatched her hand away from him then crossed her arms and prepared to listen to him.
Randy let out a long sigh before speaking.
"These last few days have been a living hell for me, Vee. I haven't been able to do anything but think about you…about us. I didn't realize it but you are the most important thing to me in this whole world. I thought I could just move on without you but it's not happening. It took me doing something so incredibly stupid to realize that I…I need you so much. It hurts so much to roll over in bed at night and not be able to feel you lying there next to me. I can't eat…I can't sleep. I can't do anything without you by my side and I…I miss you so much and I love you more than words can describe. Baby, I'm so, so sorry. I know I don't deserve you and you deserve way better than a piece of shit like me but please…I'm begging you…take me back and let me have a chance to make us right again."
Vee started to let the tears roll silently down her cheeks. Randy dropped to his knees and hugged Vee around her waist, clinging to her tightly. Vee could feel the tears from Randy's eyes making her shirt wet. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to pull Randy up and kiss him and make up with him but she couldn't. Something inside of her held her back from doing so. She carefully moved away from Randy and dropped to her knees so they were face to face. She looked into his tear-stained eyes.
"Randy…I am so happy you said that. But how am I supposed to believe any of it? I mean…it took you sleeping with another woman to realize that you loved me? I want to take you back and start all over again with us. I want to be your wife and have your children and have a family with you but…I just can't go through this again. I've hurt so much because of you and I just don't think we can be together again…at least not now."
Randy looked away from her and rubbed his face. "Can you answer me this one question?"
Vee slowly nodded her head.
"Do you still love me?"
"Yes, Randy…I do still love you."
"Then please don't say no to giving us another try. Just tell me you'll think about it."
Vee sighed and wiped her eyes. She didn't know what to say. She wanted to give her relationship another try but she also had feelings for another man. Finally Vee made up her mind.
"I'll think about it…now can you please go to makeup and get your face cleaned up?" she asked as she stood up to go back to the couch. Randy solemnly nodded his head and walked to the door. He turned back to Vee before he walked out.
"Vanessa?"
Vee looked up at him. Then he spoke again.
"I love you," he said then walked out of the room.
Vee leaned back against the sofa and let out the hundredth frustrated sigh of the week. She didn't know what to do about Randy and John now. On one hand, she still loved Randy with much of her heart. She had been set on marrying him just a few days ago and now here he was…pleading for her to give their fucked up relationship another shot. Then there was John, who had never done anything to hurt her…just comfort her and be there for her whenever Randy did anything stupid. He was the man who had helped start putting her heart back together and he had already taken a large piece of it with him. She was so torn between the two men and she didn't even know why. The answer was so clear to everyone else…even Randy knew that she shouldn't take him back. So why wasn't it clear to her and why was she considering it? Did she want to be with Randy again? Or did she want to start a new life and be happy with John?
Oooooooo! It's getting good! Lol…What should Vee do? I mean that almost made me cry…Randy pleading with her and everything…Damn this girl has some decisions to make…anyways…read and review! Thanx!
