Adam pushed the door open with his shoulder, his eyes immediately finding Maggie as she stood by the window. The sun hit her hair at just the right angle, turning it to the warm honey tone he loved so much.
"Hi," he stated softly, not wanting to startle her.
"Adam, what are you doing here?" She asked, confusion written on her face.
"You're going home today. I'm here to take you."
She frowned at him, her eyes going to the bathroom door. "But I already have a ride. I didn't know you were coming or I would have told him no."
Adam shrugged, assuming he knew who it was. "Mark won't mind if I take his spot."
"But Randy will," a voice stated from behind him. Adam's stomach dropped and his hands clenched into fists.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He questioned through gritted teeth.
"I'm here to give Maggie a ride home, or didn't you hear what she said," Randy smirked at him.
"The hell you are," Adam growled, taking a step closer.
"Adam!" Maggie exclaimed, seeing his intention. She stepped between them, her hand going out to stop Adam. "Randy offered me a ride and I accepted. He has no ulterior motive; he's just being a good friend."
Randy placed his hands on her shoulders and Adam thought his heart would explode. If she hadn't been standing between them he would have ripped Randy's head from his body.
"Yeah Copeland, I'm being a good friend," Randy's remarked smugly.
"Stop the act Orton; I know what you're up too."
Maggie closed her eyes and rubbed her temples in frustration. "Both of you stop it!" She finally exclaimed. "I'm tired, I'm hungry, and I'm sick of this shit. Adam, I'm sorry but I'm going to let Randy take me home."
"But," he started to say.
"I really don't feel like being a referee right now. And he did offer first. You should've told me you wanted to give me a ride, not just assume I would jump at the chance to spend hours in the car with you."
"Maggie," Adam cajoled, reaching for her hand. She pulled away and stepped back, closer to Randy. Adam's heart thudded to a stop.
"I'd really like to go now," she murmured to Randy.
"Sure thing sweetie," Randy replied, grabbing her small bag and her hand. "See you later Copeland," he added with a smirk.
Adam watched them leave, his heart breaking into a million pieces. She had asked him once if a woman had ever brought him to his knees. He just didn't realize she would be the one doing it.
