Thank you for the great response, I'm trying to finish all of my open stories before I continue. The next on my list to finish after Saving Me, is Unhinged Love. :)


Chapter 34
Suspension

The couple didn't get to enjoy much time alone together. The next day they spent the entire day with the Orton's, her father and the rest of Evolution. And by the next day Ryan and Evolution were leaving with the rest of the WWE to go to the next venue, whereas Randy was headed home to St. Louis with his family.

It had taken Paul, Shawn and Dave to pull the two apart at the airport before Randy made Ryan promise to come visit him on her days off. She promised and the two were hauled off to different terminals.

Ryan sat on the plane staring over at her father; he smiled at her reaching across the seat between them and squeezing her hand tightly. She forced a smile of her own and sat back in her seat.

As soon as the plan landed she turned her phone back on and saw she had one missed call from Randy. She hurriedly dialed his number and followed her father, Paul and Shawn to the luggage claim. After two rings his charming voice engulfed her ears.

"God, I miss you already…" She whispered standing next to her father, skillfully balancing her phone between her shoulder and her ear.

"I miss you too babe," She could hear the smile in his tone, and it made her melt inside. "Where are you guys headed now?" He asked.

"To the hotel and then straight to the arena after that, we have the Smackdown and ECW taping and then we go back to the hotel, sleep, get on another plane and do the same thing over until Thursday…" She groaned.

"You have Saturday and Sunday off, don't you?" He questioned.

"I do…" She nodded her head.

"Well I just booked you a plane ticket from Wyoming to St. Louis for Friday night…"

She could see that never ending smirk on his face and inwardly cursed him for being so God damned good looking. She told him that she would definitely see him this weekend, and he retorted by telling her he loved her.

"I love you too," She said before hanging up.

Ryan looked up to see her father looking down at her with wide eyes, "What?" She asked.

"Did you just say what I think you just said?" He asked.

"I told Randy I love him, so what?" She asked.

"Don't you think it's a bit soon… to be saying that you… love him?"

"No," Ryan stated simply going over and grabbing her bag off of the conveyer belt.

"Leave it alone Dave, she's a big girl…" Shawn stated as he grabbed his own bag.

"Thank you," She rolled her eyes.

"Ryan, I'm just worried that you might be moving to quickly in your relationship, that's all…" Dave stated as he, Paul and Shawn followed her to the car rental area.

"Don't worry dad… I know what I'm doing…" She stated glancing up at him.

"I hope so…" Her father muttered before flashing his ID to the car rental people and handed the keys to his daughter. She smiled and marched out to the car not bothering to say another word on the subject of her relationship with Randy.

The next few days were pure torture for Ryan. She was used to having Randy around; he kept her father, Shawn and Paul away from her. And generally, the blue eyed babe kept her sane. When Friday came she was more than happy to drop her ticket to Texas and go straight to St. Louis without more than a simple goodbye to the other members of Evolution.

Her plane ride was next to excruciating, her anticipation to see Randy was making her go a bit kooky. When the plan landed she rushed to the luggage claim, grabbed her things and searched the pick up area for her very handsome and probably incognito boyfriend.

"Baby your daddy must have been a terrorist, cause baby you the bomb…" An obviously forced fake accent came from behind her.

A smirk appeared on her face as she dropped her things and wrapped her arms around the man that was standing there a baseball cap over his dark brown hair, sunglasses over his baby blue eyes, and baggy sweats covering his God like body.

"I missed you so much," She muttered in to his ear, holding him close.

Randy's arms tightened around her as he lifted her off of the ground, "I miss you too baby…"

The embrace turned in to a slow, meaningful kiss as she pulled away and smiled up at him. He grabbed her bags and piled in to his black Escalade. The two love birds were happily chatting about their weeks when Randy's cell phone started ringing.

Ryan saw it sitting in the cup holder and Randy glanced over at her watching it ring. He smirked, "Answer it for me, please?" He asked.

"You sure?" She asked not wanting to invade his privacy.

"It's probably John," He shrugged as she grabbed the phone and looked at the name on the screen.

There was no name. It just had a number blinking and said Unknown. She raised a curious eyebrow and answered it.

"Hello?" She answered the ringing phone.

"Who is this?" The person on the other line asked immediately, Ryan noted that it was a female.

"Ryan, who is this?" She asked curiously, glancing over at Randy who looked just as confused.

"Oh, it's you… would you put Randy on the phone?" The voice on the other line sucked their teeth in exasperation.

"Not until you tell me who this is…." Ryan stated as calmly as she could.

"You know damn well who this is, Ryan…" The girl said her name vindictively.

"Tracey…" She muttered glaring over at Randy.

Randy nearly swerved the large truck off of the road. Ryan let out a low gasp as she held on to the handle next to the door, she shot a glare at Randy who mouthed an "I'm Sorry" to her. Ryan turned back in her seat and held the phone up.

"Sorry, but he's a little preoccupied at the moment…"

"Well you better tell him that he had better call me back soon or he's going to be sorry…" Tracy threatened before Ryan could ask what the hell it was about she hung up the other line.

"Psycho bitch," She groaned. "Wants you to call her back or else you'll be sorry…" Ryan mocked glancing over at Randy.

"This is the fourth times she's called me since my suspension…" Randy stated glancing over at her.

"What?" Ryan asked roughly. "How come you didn't tell me?"

"I never answered, she called me twice from her number and twice from some unknown number… and you know me if I don't know it I don't answer it…" Randy shrugged. "But she left messages every time, the first time she was pretty calm and said she needed to talk to me right away. The second one same thing, but the next two, she was rushed and sounded like she was trying to push me in to calling her…"

"You don't think that maybe… Adam's hurting her or something do you?" Ryan asked out of the blue, wondering why the woman might have sounded desperate for Randy.

"I hope not, but that's not my baby… and it's not my problem…" He stated shaking his head.

Ryan was going to retort but Randy shut off the car and she looked up to see that they were parked in front of his large house. He smiled over at her and got out, she grabbed her things and followed him through the garage that he had opened.

"God, I can tell you I miss coming here and relaxing…" She smiled.

"You have no idea how much I missed you," He stated pulling her closer to him as he unlocked the door to the house. He pushed open the door and she was pushed in.

"So, you willing to show me?" She asked with a naughty smile.

"It'd be my pleasure, babe…" He picked her up in his arms as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Her lips crushed down on to his and he smiled against them.

Ryan snuggled closely next to Randy and took in his scent, he pressed his lips against her damp hair and made sure his arms were tightly around her waist. She circled patterns on to his naked torso with her index fingers causing chills to run down Randy's back.

"Dad freaked on me the other day…" Ryan admitted out of nowhere.

"What do you mean?" Randy asked, his eyes focused on her as she lifted her chin to look up at him.

"He over heard me telling you that I love you and he freaked out…"

Randy's brow furrowed and he glanced at his girlfriend oddly, "How so?"

"He went on about how he thought we weren't together long enough to be in love… and pretty much told me I was too young to know if I was in love with you or not…"

"That's bullshit… look at how young he was when he was in 'love' with your mother…" Randy pointed out using his free hand for exaggerating his point.

"I know… he's just being over protective, I told him I knew what I was doing and that I really did love you…" She shrugged. "Paul and Shawn made him back off…" She smiled shortly.

"It might be time for another Legend Killer Animal discussion…" Randy sighed rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"Or maybe a Bautista to Bautista talk…" She smirked.

The next day they spent exploring St. Louis and hanging out, by the time they got back to Randy's house it was late in the afternoon. Randy was laughing at a joke Ryan had just cracked about a couple they had just scene leaving the movie theater when they climbed out of the truck.

Though something caught his attention, he noticed his front door was slightly ajar. He held a finger to his lips as he looked over at Ryan, the dark haired girl furrowed her brow and stared at her boyfriend.

"Stay here…" He insisted.

Ryan watched as he crept around the side to the front door. He disappeared for a good five minutes before he came outside cursing a mile a minute, his face was completely red and he had his cell phone up against his ear.

"Look, if you don't have someone come down here NOW and I mean it I will call your supervisor and make you wish that you had never come in contact with Randy Orton, do you hear me?" He slammed his phone closed and glanced over at Ryan whose mouth was hanging half open. "Get in the car, I'm dropping you off at my parent's house…" He stated as he pulled out his car keys.

"What? Randy what's going on?" She asked.

"Nothing, just get in the car…" He ordered opening his door.

"Randy, tell me what is going on!" She pressed looking at the door.

Randy stood half out of the door and glared at her, "God damn it Ryan, if you do not get in the car right now…" He was seething.

She narrowed her eyes at him and got in the car, slamming the door with emphasis. She crossed her arms over her chest as Randy pulled out of the drive way and Ryan noticed as he drove away that the front door was open.

Her mouth fell open and she glanced at him, "Did someone break in to the house?" She asked.

"Ryan, I'm not answering your questions right now. You are going to my parents and staying there until I get back…" he stated driving and not even bothering to glance at her.

Ryan huffed and was forced out of the car by Randy minutes later. His mother Elaine came running out of the house worried, Randy told her the same thing, go in to his car and drove off.

Ryan sat on the Orton sofa drinking a hot cup of coffee; it had been three hours since Randy had left her at his parents' house. She had called him about twenty-five times, and tried to convince both Elaine and Bob to drive her back over there, but both refused.

She was staring absent-mindedly at the television until the news came on. They had 'breaking' news… Ryan sighed everything was breaking news to them. If someone found twenty dollars on the sidewalk they'd make it a top news story.

The blonde reporter was talking rapidly as the house in the background came in to focus, a tall man standing next to several police offers, stood tall and familiar to her. Her mouth fell open as she slid off of the couch and to her knees watching Randy yell and talk to some of the officers.

"We just received word that WWE Superstar and hometown Legend Randy Orton's home was broken in to earlier this evening. The police have no leads, and are keeping mum on the subject until they get further information." The reporter stated as she went on about how she came to find out what happened.

They interviewed several of the neighbors who said that it was a good neighborhood, and that they had seen anything. And that it was probably some crazy lunatic fans or something.

"WWE Superstar Randy Orton has been home for several weeks due to an impromptu suspension from WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. The reason for the suspension has not been disclosed to the media." The reporter continued. "We have learned however, that Orton was paid a visit from his on and off screen girlfriend Ryan Bautista, and that he ushered her safely to his parents house before meeting St. Louis police at his home…"

Ryan sat in complete shock. She had been right; someone had broken in to her boyfriend's house while they were out. The thought freaked her out terribly. She looked up to see her boyfriend's mother staring at the screen in horror.

"I can't believe this happened…" She whispered taking a seat on the sofa next to Ryan who was still kneeling on the ground.

"This was his doing," She mumbled looking up at Elaine.

Randy had told his mother all about Adam and what he had done to them, with Tracey and everything that has happened between them. Elaine looked down at her almost horror stricken.

"Do you think?" Elaine asked her.

"I can feel it…" She shuddered as she watched the screen.

The front door opened and slammed shut catching both of their attention, looking up they saw Randy coming in rubbing his tired eyes. Ryan jumped up from the floor nearly spilling her tea and threw herself in his arms.

"I'm so sorry," She whispered clinging on to him like the plague.

"What are you sorry for?" Randy asked sighing as he held her close.

"If I wouldn't have come this wouldn't have happened…" She whispered feeling the tears that threatened to fall.

"That's nonsense…" Randy hushed her. "This is not your fault… do you hear me?" He pulled her away at arms length. "We're going to stay here until the police are done with their investigation…"

"I fee like we're on an episode of CSI or something," She whispered with a short laugh.

"Just about, I'm afraid to see what my house is going to look like after they're done…"

"Did you give them Adam's name?" She asked carefully, and quietly.

"That was the first thing I did, but those idiots did the same thing the cops at the hotel did… tried to assure me that it wasn't your psycho ex, that is was probably random…"

"I'm sure it wasn't random?"

Randy rolled his eyes, "It wasn't because none of my stuff was taken. Nothing Rye…" He shook his head. "You know what's in my house. I have a surround sound, plasma screened TV, the works, and they didn't take any of my watches or jewelry…" He shook his head.

"That convinced them?"

"You damn well better believe it…"

"Did he take anything?" She questioned him.

"I don't know… the cops asked that you make a list of everything you brought with you in your suitcase, my bedroom was torn apart…" He shook his head. "It was almost like he was looking for something…"

"You can stay here as long as you like, I'll go make up your old room Randy," Elaine stated before leaving the room and letting the couple have some time together.

"I wish this wouldn't have happened." Ryan whispered sadly. "I wish they could catch him and lock him up for good…"

"I'm going to do my damnedest…" He stated hugging her tightly.

They spent a lot of time with Randy's parents and his siblings. They tried to push the break in out of their heads and by the next day Randy was able to go back to his home, the last day that Ryan had before she had to fly back to Texas.

The house was a mess, there was the black fingerprint powder residue all over, and Randy snubbed his nose up at the mess and dialed for his cleaning people to come over. They arrived within an hour and began cleaning as Randy tried to keep Ryan's mind off of what happened.

"Did you think of anything that was missing?" He asked looking around at the mess in his bedroom.

"I've been trying to think of everything. I guess I should pack my things and see if I'm missing anything…" She pursed her lips together and looked around.

"I'll order lunch and then come help you, take out good?" He asked.

"Perfect," She smiled.

Ryan started sorting her things from Randy's and tossed it in her bag. Randy was right they really did a number on the room. Out of all things they could go trough and take what could possibly be so important in Randy's room.

She was just getting started when Randy came back in and scooped her up off of the floor, he placed a kiss on her lips and she smiled. She wrapped her arms around his neck and met him again in another kiss, she couldn't get enough of him.

"Can we stay like this forever?" She asked.

"I hope so," He grinned glancing down at her.

The cleaning people came and left several hours after intense cleaning, and Randy and Ryan finally got some alone time before she had to leave the next morning to meet back up with Raw in Texas. She had figured out that there was only one thing missing out of her suitcase that she was absolutely sure she packed.

A nightie.

It was simple, and she had planned to wear it for Randy one night, but now it was missing. She seemed a bit puzzled by it but brushed it off telling herself that she must have thought she packed it but didn't.

They spent their last night together and Randy was driving her to the airport first thing that morning. They were standing outside of security and Ryan didn't want to let go. She looked up at Randy with tears in her eyes.

"It's only another week. I'll be back before you know it…" He stated shaking his head.

"No more getting in to stupid fights with people?" She asked with a pout.

"I promise…" Randy kissed the top of her head. "If you don't go now you're never going to get through in time for your flight…" He motioned to the security line that seemed to be getting longer and longer.

"OK, I love you, I'll call you as soon as I land in Texas…" She stated giving him another squeeze.

"You better, and tell everyone I said hi…" He grinned. "I love you…"

"I love you," She smiled before slipping away to the security line.

Randy watched her intently as she got in line. Not realizing that someone was watching him just as intently. Randy walked back out to his SUV and got in, heading straight to the police station. He wanted answers, and he wanted them now.

Whoever had broken in to his house not only ransacked the place, but they took something from him. They took something that took him forever to find, something that took him forever to actually go through with buying.

He looked around for the detective that he spoke with the day previous. He located him as his partner gave him a heads up, the detective turned around and stood up seeing Randy coming towards him.

"Mr. Orton, was Miss Bautista able to find anything missing from her things?" The detective asked.

"No, but I did…" Randy stated his fists clenched.

"I thought we asked you this yesterday?" The officer questioned.

"I was pretty sure it was gone yesterday, but I wanted to make sure…" Randy scratched the back of his head. "And I wanted to wait until there were no cameras around…" He cleared his throat. "I didn't want Ryan to catch wind of it…"

"What is it Mr. Orton?" The officer asked taking out his notepad.

Randy paused glancing around before answering, "Her engagement ring…"


Woohoo, so the end is near, are you sad? I'm sad... but I'm kinda glad too because I've been trying to finish this story for what feels like an eternity!
