Chapter 21
The plane landed a few hours later as Jaina slowly opened her eyes, seeing Randy was awake and stretched her arms in the air, before cracking her back. She was starving and stood up, walking over and took two donuts before rejoining Randy, taking her headphones off. She dared Paul to say something to her about eating; his nose would be broken before long anyway.
Paul didn't say a word, making a mental note to get her on it later. Two donuts, no doubt she'd be hanging over a toilet sometime later in the night puking them out.
"Shoulda had a third." Randy murmured in her ear, a grin on his face. "Junk food is good for you."
"You dare me to do it?" Jaina giggled when Randy nodded, vivid blue eyes begging her to show them up and shrugged before walking over and grabbed two more donuts, handing one to him. "Last night I had cheesecake for the first time in months, it was so good. The next time we're in Chicago, I'm definitely going to the Cheesecake Factory." Jaina loved the astounded looks on David, Paul and Ric's faces, a smile on her own as she finished her third donut with ease. "NOW I feel much better."
"Nah, one more. I can almost count your ribs." Randy didn't care what the three morons thought, gently poking her side, smirking when Paul's eyes darkened. If Paul would have done that, his fingers would've been broken. "Cheesecake...now I'm hungry for it, thanks a lot Jai."
"Well, why don't we get some then?" She countered with a smirk, crossing her arms in front of her chest, and slapped his hand away when he poked her again. "You know damn well my ribs aren't showing and how I eat. I can nearly pack away as much as you." David's jaw dropped when he heard that and Jaina laughed when Randy whispered something in her ear. "Oh really?" She smacked him lightly in the shoulder, rolling her eyes. "Now that is just SICK, Orton."
"Well, it's sort of true though." Randy replied with a smirk, well aware of David and Paul's reactions, noting Ric wasn't saying a single word. "Besides, that spaghetti...I think you might have killed it if I hadn't beaten you to it."
"I miss Florida and cooking." Jaina sighed wistfully, feeling Randy's arm wrap around her shoulders and leaned against him with a smile, both of them buckling up when the plane began to descend. "Though the next time we go, you'll be invited, not kidnapped." She prodded his ribs this time, causing him to jump and giggled softly, before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Talk about someone showing their ribs. It wouldn't kill you to have a little more meat on your bones either." She rolled her eyes when he stuck his tongue out, studying her nails. "What are you five now?"
"Yes, I am, wanna bend me over your knee and spank me?" He suggested, wiggling his eyebrows at her in a lewd fashion. "And I'll have you know, I'm the perfect weight for my height."
Okay, what the FUCK was going on? Now even Paul was lost at this point.
"Besides, until you see me naked, you can't decide if I'm too scrawny or not."
David shot champagne out of both nostrils when he heard that.
"Psh, I've seen you naked before, Randy." She said matter-of-factly, crossing her arms in front of her chest when he raised an eyebrow. "You don't remember when I first became your valet?" When the realization dawned on him, Jaina started laughing and seen his cheeks flush red, pinching one. "Aww don't worry, that's our little secret." She winked just as the plane landed, unbuckling herself along with Randy, grabbing their things. "Riding with me again?"
"Sure, as long as we don't talk about our little secret."
"Very little." Paul grunted, not amused in the slightest.
David was stopping up his ears; he did not need to know anything about Randy's anatomy. "Tell me when they stop." He said to Ric in a grumble.
"You got it." Jaina winked over his shoulder as they walked off of the plane, Randy's hand instantly taking hers and Jaina was melting on the inside, allowing him to guide her wherever. It showed in her sparkling blue eyes, honey blonde hair bouncing with every step she took in her white tennis shoes. "I'm taking your advice and acting like myself." She murmured in his ear when his arm wrapped around her waist, leaning her head against him while they walked toward their baggage claim. "I'm going to have to get something more solid to eat before we go to the arena."
"Good, I'll join you if you don't mind. Now that my head isn't throbbing or my stomach rolling, I'm starving." Randy felt like he could eat a whole horse, providing Jaina didn't beat him to it.
"Okay, I'm confused. Last night they seemed to be back to hating each other, now they're practically fucking. What the hell is going on?" David demanded with a scowl on his lips.
"Drugs in the water." Ric said cheerfully, whistling as he walked by them.
The ride to the hotel was full of laughter and jokes, something Jaina hadn't felt or done ever since Florida. Sleeping in Randy's arms the night before put a lot of things in perspective for Jaina, such as not wanting to lose him. The way he held her and gave her no choice; it proved that he still wanted her.
Jaina didn't know if it was for more than just sex or not, suddenly not caring. As long as she was with Randy, that's all she cared about. They stopped at Arby's, getting roast beef sandwiches; hers had cheddar on them before going back to the hotel, walking inside together.
Jaina went to go get her keycard when Randy stopped her, looking up at him confused, and asked, "What is it?"
Randy was frowning, staring at the keycard in her hand and bit his lower lip thoughtfully. "You got a note last night, right?" He asked slowly, watching as she nodded and ran his hand over his short hair, mussing it into half spikes. "And it was signed with my name, but I didn't send it. So everyone BUT me knows what name you're staying under and all that."
"Shit..." Jaina cursed, knowing Randy made a very good point, scowling. Paul sent that note, she was sure of it, and he knew what name she was staying under. How, she didn't know and, honestly, she didn't WANT to know. "What do you suggest I do then?" She asked quietly, chewing her bottom lip in thought, looking troubled and aggravated at the same time, suddenly gritting her teeth.
"Well..." Randy was hesitant, knowing this was likely to piss her off, but at the same time, it was the best idea he could come up with. She'd be safe and nobody was likely to mess with her in the middle of the night. "They already think we're fucking, so why not just stay with me?" He suggested, waiting for the hell no or punch to come, maybe both.
She didn't do either.
Instead, Jaina wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly, sighing gently, pressing her forehead against his neck and pulled back to kiss his cheek. "I don't give a damn what they think anymore, Randy. I really don't." She walked past him and handed her keycard over, before taking his hand, and walked with him to the elevator. "Let's go chow." She winked, seeing he was in somewhat shock from what she did. "I can't wait until it's just us and we don't have to worry about those other assholes."
"I don't know, screwing with them is kind of fun." Randy teased his mind racing. It was just so weird that they were getting along like this, plotting against Evolution, when only a month ago Randy's biggest concern was getting into her pants and teaching her a lesson in manners. He had been as bad as Paul and one week with her had seemingly changed all of that.
"Yeah, it is. We should really knock them for a loop and get into an argument and then go back to joking." She laughed, knowing their minds would spin out of orbit, leaning against him as the elevator doors closed, just as Evolution walked inside the hotel. Randy lead Jaina to Evolution's suite and let her in, going to the connecting room and dropped her bag alongside his, before kicking her white shoes off, beginning to eat. "Mmm roast beef." She nudged him when he teased her and swiped some cheese off of his chin with the pad of her thumb, grinning.
"I was saving that for later." Randy said, sounding indignant, even though his eyes were sparkling with good-natured humor. He rifled around in the bag, pulling out a turnover, and inhaled. "Mmm...Want a bite?" He offered, holding it out to her, being a gentleman. "It's cherry filled..."
"Naughty boy." She purred, laughing when Randy groaned and took a bite out of it, a drip of cherry sauce caked to the side of her mouth and swiped it away as she chewed, eyes having stayed locked on Randy's the entire time. "Mmm, man, I should've gotten one, but I'll stick with my loaded potato bites." She winked before dragging them out, dipping them in the special ranch sauce, and looked up when a knock sounded at the door.
"Busy with cherry filling, go away!" Randy called, still groaning, and shook his head. "That was anything but fair, Jai." He pouted at her, thrusting out his lower lip, flashing puppy dog eyes, before going to answer the door, smirking when he seen Paul. "Can I help you?"
"What is SHE doing in here? Doesn't she-"
"I told you," Randy held up his turnover. "Cherry filling." And promptly slammed the door in Paul's face. "Let us eat and we'll be out."
Jaina's giggles could be heard through the door as Randy joined her again, leaning against his shoulder, before taking another bite out of his turnover, winking. "I say when we get back from the arena tonight, we get some cheesecake." Jaina said, blue eyes sparkling, and Randy nodded. They finished eating and Jaina cleaned the mess up, glad she no longer had to hide her true appetite, feeling full and happy for the first time in a long while. "Shall we go face the music?"
"No, I don't like whining violins." Randy sighed, mock playing a violin, and rolled his eyes. "Alright, let's go." Draping an arm over her shoulder, he led the way out, smirking when they were greeted to three very curious looking faces. "Now, what did you want?"
"To discuss Summerslam, how was the filling?"
"Delicious." Randy licked his lips.
"Randy is going to be champion." Jaina said promptly with a smile, leaning against him with a content sigh. "It'll be nice having someone ELSE in Evolution as champion." She directed that at Paul, hearing Randy snickering and smirked back at him, looking innocent. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go transform into your sexy goddess." She pinched his side and laughed when he growled, before making a beeline back in the room, closing the door behind her.
While that was funny, it also left Randy to the wolves, and that wasn't figuratively speaking. He frowned when he got deathly looks from Paul. "Hey, it wasn't MY idea, take it up with Vince." He didn't know HOW many times he had said that, knowing fully well Vince wasn't changing it. That inwardly made him smirk; knowing something poor Pauly didn't know.
"Well..." David coughed awkwardly.
Jaina took a shower and looked in the mirror, wearing a simple red dress that had a halter neckline with laced material on the top, the V shaped neckline dipping low, showing off just a fraction of her breasts and went two inches above the knee. She strapped her two inch heels on before curling the ends of her hair. She wore simple black eyeliner with red lipstick that matched the dress, something different, and strapped a red choker around her neck. She took one final look in the mirror just as the door opened and smiled at the sight of Randy.
"What do you think?" She asked, doing a simple twirl, arms stretched out.
