So sorry for how long it's been, but i am still slowly writing! Enjoy!

Stephanie was on the phone in her office, when Randy knocked on the door and walked in. 'Do you mind if I come in?' he asked, and she waved to him.

Hanging up she turned in her seat, he sat down opposite his long-time friend, there was something about working with Stephanie he loved. She was confident, raised in the business, as decent wrestler but even better when working as a heel on camera.

This authority angle had been doing well and he knew this promo would get the fans talking, 'Stephanie, I want to start off and say I appreciate you suspending Daniel Bryan the other week. Of course I wish it had been for longer, but you did the right thing and –'

She cut him off, 'Randy I know why you're here. Don't worry you will get your match against Bryan, and of course I expect you to win.' He nodded in agreement. 'good Steph, because I want to make it clear,' he straightened up to her, 'I want my title back. I want that goat faced little bastard out of the WWE and while I'm at it, add Brie Bella to that list. And Steph you remember what happens when I don't get my way.'

He stalked out of the room as the director yelled cut. Stephanie walked over to Orton before he left, 'Randy, I know you're a good actor but what is it with Brie? Come on, let's be honest, you're chasing her around and I'm not so sure you're just doing it to wind up Daniel anymore.'

Randy turned to look her, 'I'm not. I do want her Steph, and I meant what I said, I don't like it if I don't get what I want.'

He left.

Meanwhile, Daniels match against Kane was taking off, Brie watched on the screen in the women's locker room, Natalia had tried to comfort her about Daniels behavior, 'he's been injured, he's stressed it isn't you he's angry at'. The sweet blonde tried to console her friend, but even she didn't sound convinced.

In truth, Natalia had notice the change in Daniel, he was angry all the time now.

This feud with Orton had accelerated his rage but it had been there, the happy-go-lucky guy who walked into the WWE ready to prove himself has slowly been worn down into a fighter.

Lately he wanted to argue with Brie, Natalia suspected all those that mocked him and told him a girl like her would never fall for a man like that had gotten into his head. Her self-confidence was at an all-time low, and for a newly engaged couple, that wasn't good.

Natalia watched the match quietly with Brie, the commentators kept refreshing everyone on the latest in the Brie-Orton-Bryan saga and everyone was expecting Orton to interrupt the match. But it didn't happen.

Instead Seth and the Big Show ensured Kane defeated Bryan, but no Randy in sight.

Brie stood to leave the locker room and as she opened the door she walked straight into Orton. Brie nearly fell over, half in shock, and half because he was solid.

He caught her gently but the wrist and steadied her. She didn't try and free herself, instead he released her. She sighed, too tired to fight. 'Not today' she started, 'tomorrow?' he asked. His eyes were sparkling and a smirk was resting on his face.

'how about never?' Brie asked, tilting her head, he smiled and stepped towards her, closing the gap, as she spoke she could feel his body moving with each breath.

'you say never, but I hear always'

'that's no surprise, you've never been a good listener' Brie was smiling to now, enjoying the flirtation.

'and how would you know?'

She just shook her head in response, 'ah' Orton said, 'you've been asking about me'

'don't flatter yourself,' she laughed. It sounded carefree and it was the first time in months. Randy thought that it suited her, her brown eyes coming alive.

'but if I don't flatter myself, who will?'

'not me' she replied.

'well then, can't go through life without someone praising me' he was enjoying this.

'you've made it so far. Besides your ego is already out of control'

'and is that what you want?' he asked her, his voice was jokey but she heard a serious question underneath, 'what?' she faltered.

'to control me?' he asked,

She looked at him, 'no' and she meant it, 'I don't want to control you' she said,

He looked down at her, 'so what do you want Brie?' he asked, their flirtation had taken on a serious tone and she wasn't sure how to deal with that. Or what to answer. So she told the truth, 'I don't know'.

They both paused for a moment, he looked to her, she looked lost and unsure. He reached out and touched her cheek, she leaned into his touch. His head moved down to kiss her, his jaw was cut, strong and his lips soft. She was slim, but soft and molded around him. Lifting herself to meet him, his large hands moved, one holding her back and the other still touching her cheek.

She lifted her hand as they kissed, holding onto his cheek, her body responding to his touch, they were like cogs in a clock, fitting together perfectly.

As Brie pulled back from his kiss she heard a yell, they both turned to see Daniel Bryan running down the corridor towards them. He looked insane, his face twisted in anger as he charged at Orton. Brie was frozen but Randy's reaction kicked in.
