-Chapter 21-
Jordan stood behind the curtains and watched as all the men from the battle royal walked to the back and winked at her as they walked by. She just smiled and waited for her cue to walk out to the ring.
Lilian Garcia took a microphone and walked up the stairs to the ring to introduce the person singing America, The Beautiful, "At this time I would like to announce a change in plans. Michelle from Destiny's Child could not make it tonight so we have a replacement. Please give a warm welcome to the beautiful and talented Jordan Roybal!"
Jordan heard her name and she buckled up as she sighed and walked through the curtain. She smiled and waved as people stood up and cheered for her. A lot of guys sitting on the floor level got up and whistled as she came by. A little boy had a poster with her name and he cheered for her. 'Aww how cute. He has a poster for me and I'm not even a diva. He must've watched the Hall of Fame last night or something.'
She smiled and walked over to him. She kissed his cheek and hugged him. The little boy smiled and she walked to the steel steps where she got in the ring. Many guys whistled as she got in and smiled as she kissed the little boy.
"Would you all please rise as Jordan sings America, The Beautiful?" Lilian said as she handed Jordan the microphone and stood in the corner of the ring.
Jordan smiled. 'Here goes nothing.' She took a deep breath and lifted the microphone to her lips.
"O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet Whose stern impassioned stress A thoroughfare of freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife. Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!"
As Jordan sang the last note, everyone cheered for her and clapped loudly as she bowed and returned the microphone. She got out of the ring and walked back towards the ramp touching some of the fans' hands as she waved to the others.
When she got to the back, she was immediately enveloped by a huge pair of arms. She smiled as she turned around and hugged the person. She looked up into his blue eyes and gave him a peck on the lips.
"You did great out there Jor." He said.
"Thank you John." She smiled.
"You didn't tell me you were going to sing as a replacement for Michelle." He said, "Why didn't you tell me you could also sing?"
"Because I didn't think it was necessary for you to know that I had a hidden talent." She said teasingly.
He pulled her closer, pressing her to his body, "What other hidden talents do you have Jordan?"
"Talents that you'll never know about." She said seductively, "But if you're a good little boy, you might find out." She said as she ran a finger down his chest.
He shivered a bit from her contact, "I hope that's soon."
She laughed, "Oh it'll be real soon baby, sooner than you think."
"I can't wait till I have you screaming my name and clinging on to my body." He said.
"That sounds great, what do you say if we forget about the show and go back to the hotel?" She said kissing his jaw.
"I would love to." John said, already getting hard just thinking about him and Jordan alone in a hotel room.
She kissed his lips softly and then instantly pulled back as she started laughing, "You were like putty in my hands John." He had a confused look on his face, "I can't believe you actually fell for it."
"That wasn't very nice Jordan." He said looking away from her as several people watched them.
"Well maybe I'm not a very nice person John. Ever think about that?" She said as she looked at the disappointed look on his face. She had only been playing with him but he was obviously not. She kinda felt bad for leading him on like that but then again, she thought it was funny. She looked as he scratched the back of his neck nervously and she instantly pulled him into a hug, "I'm sorry Johnny, will you forgive me?"
He didn't meet her gaze, "No, that wasn't very nice."
She turned his face towards hers and pouted as she batted her gorgeous green eyes, "Come on John, I didn't mean to do that." She said as she kissed along his jaw and kissed his lips softly. She pulled back and then kissed him with more force and bit his bottom lip, "Please?"
He couldn't resist the puppy look, especially not when Jordan was standing in front of him in a very short and low cut dress that showed an ample amount of cleavage, "I can't resist that look, especially not when it's on your beautiful face." He kissed her lips softly and then he kissed her forehead.
"Jordan!" A voice was heard down the hall.
Jordan turned around and she saw her Uncle Vince and her Aunt Linda walking towards her. She looked up at John and smiled, "I'll see you later okay."
"That's fine, if you want to give me company, you can come down to my locker room. I'll be waiting." He said before kissing her on the lips once more.
Vince saw his niece and he twirled her around, "You did a great job Jordan!"
"Thank you Uncle Vince. I was really nervous." She said honestly.
"He's right sweetheart. You were amazing out there. I didn't know you had such a beautiful voice." Linda said and hugged her, "And that dress looks amazing on you."
"Thank you both. I'm glad it's over though." Jordan said.
"Great job kiddo." He said and kissed her cheek, "Now you better go get dressed and whatever it is you girls do because it's almost time to escort the inductees for their presentation."
"All right, I'll se you in a bit then." Jordan said before hugging her aunt and then walking down the hall.
O-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-O
Meanwhile Kelly was in the fitting room laughing when Randy came in the room. She was sitting on the couch and pointing at the tv set as she saw Randy come in the room.
"What's so funny Kel?" He asked.
"You have to ask? Did you hear that bitch singing out there?" She laughed.
"I heard her. She sings pretty good." He said. 'Who am I kidding? She was amazing. She's beautiful. An amazing dancer and she's great in bed.' He thought and smiled.
"Are you kidding me?" She asked, "I thought my ear drums would burst if she sang another note. Thank god that she couldn't sing the whole song or she would of sent many people to the emergency room. And that dress…that was ridiculously short and it showed too much of her chest."
'I'm gonna have to disagree with that. She looked fucking hot, I would of fucked her right then and there if it wasn't for the fact that it's the grandest stage of them all and for the fact that Vince was there.' He smirked and laughed a bit. 'That would of been a better show than WrestleMania. I can see it now, the main event: Jordan and Randy in a Hardcore match.'
Kelly looked at him quizzically, "What's so funny Randy?"
He noticed Kel was looking at him weirdly, "Nothing babe, just something I was thinking about. Don't worry about it."
O-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-O
Jordan had gone back into the make up room to put on her second dress. She saw Rebecca and Diana working on the divas and they smiled at her as she walked into the fitting room and put on the burgundy dress.
She came out and immediately sat down on one of the chairs as Diana worked on her make up and Rebecca worked on her hair. By the time she was done, Jordan looked amazing. Her burgundy dress was tube top style and had satin lining around the top and along the waistline. It went about two inches past her knees and hung loosely at the bottom where as the top, it was tight and showed off her great figure. Her hair was half up in a bun and she had her bangs to the right side of her face and the ends of her hair were straightened out. She still had her diamond earrings on and her diamond tennis bracelet.
"Jordan, you look wonderful, again." Rebecca complimented.
"Thank you Rebecca." She said, "I'll see you later. It's already time for the presentation."
Jordan walked out of the room and headed towards the guerrilla position. As she walked down the hall, she saw that they were recording something backstage so she waited for them to finish to cross to the other side.
Josh Matthews was interviewing "Mean" Gene Okerlund and all of a sudden, Randy Orton interrupted him and from what Jordan could hear, he insulted him for becoming a Hall of Famer just because he was an interviewer. Batista appeared when Gene left and he told Randy that the person that won the World Heavyweight Championship would just be holding it until he returned.
The segment ended and Jordan waited until she heard one of the camera guys say 'clear.' She tried to walk around Randy as he was standing there talking to Batista but he obviously would not let her. He told Batista that they'd talk later and he went after Jordan.
She tried to walk faster but he caught up with her and grabbed her arm, "Let me go!"
"We need to talk Jordan." He said.
"I can't talk Randy, I have to get ready for the presentation." She said, "Let me go please."
"Jordan, we need to talk about us." He urged.
"Come on Randy, who are you kidding? There is no 'us.' Just leave me alone and go back to your fiancée. She must be missing you a lot." Jordan said harshly.
"Jordan, I can explain-" He was interrupted.
"There is nothing to explain. Stop trying to talk to me and leave me the fuck alone." She said as she pulled away from him, only for Randy to bring her back into his arms.
He tilted her chin up and looked into her eyes before leaning down and placing a kiss on her lips. She tried to get out of his grip but he would not budge. He tried making the kiss more passionate but Jordan would not let him. She kept her lips firmly closed as she tried to get away from him. Finally, she pulled away and slapped him as hard as she could before walking down the hall in tears. She quickly slipped into the bathroom and fixed herself up before she walked down the the guerrilla to meet the other divas.
When she got there, she was met by Maria and Kristal. They smiled at her and hugged her before they went to the stage, sensing something was wrong.
She smiled reassuringly at them and waited for Howard Finkel to start presenting the inductees.
Howard Finkel climbed in the middle of the ring and brought the microphone to his lips, "At this time, I would like to present to you the 2006 Hall of Fame Inductees. Please welcome "Mean" Gene Okerlund."
Gene Okerlund came out with Kristal who smiled and kissed his cheek, then went to the back.
"The "Sensational" Sherry."
"Sensational" Sherry came out with Maria and they hugged before Maria went to the back.
"Tony Atlas."
Tony Atlas came out with Jordan and she kissed his cheek and hugged him before she went to the back.
"Verne Gagne."
Verne Gagne came out with Kristal once again she kissed his cheek before going to the back.
"William "Refrigerator" Perry."
William Perry came out with Maria and she kissed his cheek before she went to the back.
"The Black Jacks."
Jordan came out with each one of them on her arm. She kissed both on the cheek and hugged them before going to the back.
Jerry: The Black Jacks sure are lucky JR!
JR: Of course they are. They got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Jerry: No, I mean they both got escorted by that beautiful young lady and they got kisses JR!
JR: She is one beautiful gal.
Jerry: She's an amazing singer too. What a beautiful young lady!
Tazz: I have to agree with you King. She was with us announcing SmackDown for Tony Chimel on Friday night. She did an excellent job.
Michael Cole: That and the fact that she's Mr McMahon's niece.
Tazz: You're right Michael. She's the niece to the most powerful man in sports entertainment.
"Bret Hart could not be here tonight for personal reasons but he's here with us in soul. And finally Eddie Guerrero who is being represented by his wife, Vickie and his nephew, Chavo Guerrero."
Vickie came out being escorted by Chavo who stayed out there with her.
"These are your 2006 Hall of Fame inductees. Give them all a round of applause." Howard said, "And to the beautiful young ladies that escorted them, Maria, Kristal Marshall and Jordan Roybal!"
The three girls came out one at a time and smiled and waved as they stood in the middle.
Jerry: Puppies!
Tazz: King's right, puppies. What beautiful women.
JR: That's right and the only place you'll find them is in the WWE.
Michael Cole: Absolutely beautiful and talented.
The crowd cheered for them and applauded them as they went to the back, one by one.
O-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-O
Jordan was the first one in the back. She immediately went to John's room in fear that she would run into Randy again. She knocked on the door and he quickly opened the door.
"Hey John!" She said sitting down on the couch, "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't even ask if I could come in."
"It's all right Jor, what's got you so hyped up?" He asked.
"Nothing, I just didn't want to run into Randy again." She said.
"You ran into him earlier?" He asked as he sat down next to her.
"Yeah before the presentation thing. He wanted to talk about 'us.' He won't leave me alone." She said sighing.
"Don't worry babe, you're only here for tonight and then you won't ever have to see him again." He said as he pulled her close to him.
"Yeah, that's true." She said and leaned into his chest.
"Now about that kiss you gave that little boy earlier, that was cute." He said, "But I didn't like all those guys ogling you and whistling at you."
"Aww, are you jealous John?" She teased.
"Of course I am. You know I like you." He stated.
This took her by surprise, "You like me?"
"Yeah, you're a really great person. I wish we could be something more than friends but you still love Randy and you're leaving tonight so I won't ever see you again." He said sadly.
"I didn't know John." She said, "But you don't have to worry about Randy because I'm gonna get over him." She said as she kissed him, "I would love to be more than friends with you but I don't think a long distance relationship would work."
"We could try and see how it works out." John suggested.
"I don't know about that but for now, something else is on my mind." She said as she pulled him to her and kissed him passionately.
He pulled back and looked at her, "So is this how you kiss your friends?"
"No, this is how I kiss you." She said as she pulled him back down and kissed him fiercely.
He immediately obliged and pressed his body against hers as he placed one hand on her cheek and used the other one to run his hands through her hair. He ran his tongue against her lips and bit on her lip as she moaned in pleasure. She granted him entrance and as soon as their tongues touched, Jordan felt as if her body was on fire. Their tongues danced off each other as her hands roamed his back and his hand had made its way down her body to her leg. As their mouths played tonsil hockey, Jordan played with the little hairs on the back of his neck. His hand had already found its way under her dress as it gently stroked her smooth leg. His hand was dangerously close to her center as it was now touching the top at the hem of her panties and it would of gone further if there hadn't been a knock at the door.
Jordan mumbled as she told him to ignore it and he didn't break their kiss. They continued to explore each other's bodies as it they were something mysterious waiting to be uncovered.
The person outside the door didn't want to wait though because the door was immediately opened. Ric opened the door and found Jordan in a very compromising situation. He cleared his throat and as soon as she saw him, she pushed John off of her and sat up trying to fix herself.
Jordan was so embarrassed to be found in that position by a man she thought of as a father figure. She blushed and smoothed her dress out as she walked over to him and hugged him.
"Can I talk to you in private Jordan?" Ric asked.
"Uh, yeah. We can go out in the hall if you want." She said, "I'll be back before your match, okay?" He nodded and she hugged him before she stepped out in the hall with Ric.
"I hope you weren't too busy Jordan." He said in a stern voice.
"I wasn't." She blushed knowing what he had meant by that, "So why did you want to see me?"
"I heard some news from someone and I wanted to know what happened, by you." He said.
She sighed knowing exactly what he was talking about, "Who told you?"
"Paul. I found him in a foul mood in catering and I asked him who had pissed him off. He told me he almost ripped Randy's head off so I asked him what he had done and he told me what Randy did to you Jor." He paused, "Why didn't you tell me sweetheart? I told you if you ever needed anything, I would be there to help you, yet you didn't come to me for help."
Jordan leaned against the wall, "I didn't want anyone to know about my personal life. Besides, it's not that big of a deal. He's happy and he's engaged to a beautiful, young woman. Everyone's happy in this little love fest."
He leaned over to her and held her in his arms, "Everyone but you Jor."
"I'm happy, I mean how could I not be? I'm thinking of going out with John, what more could I want?" She asked looking into his eyes and sighing.
"Jordan, I can see it in your eyes. I know you fell in love with Randy and you're trying to forget about the love you have for him by going out with John. Believe me Jor, rushing into a relatioship after a heartbreak is not the best thing to do. You're only hurting yourself, and you'll end up hurting John." He explained.
"No I won't. He likes me and I could learn to like him. Everyone's happy." Jordan said.
"Jordan, don't do this to yourself. This is the same thing that you did a couple years back with James-" He was interrupted.
"Please don't remind me about that. Don't!" She said as she covered her ears and slid down the wall, holding herself.
"I hate seeing you like this sweetheart." Ric said, "Don't do this to yourself, to John, to Randy."
"Don't ever say his name in front of me again. I don't want to know anything about Randy ever again. He hurt me, he had his chance, he blew it. As far as I know, Randy is dead." She screamed as she ran down the hall.
"Jor!" He yelled after her.
