Chapter 37: One Question
Natalie was still in doubt of who she wanted to be with. Damnit, it was a hard decision: On the one hand, you had a very good looking man who was not only her best friend, but her new found lover and boyfriend. However, on the other hand, she had her baby's father - A man who she hated at first, but he soon captured her heart. Who was the one for her? Both men were willing to admit their feelings for her, but who was she to admit her feelings for?
Her and John boarded a plane; Vince had called them back to work early. Although he knew of the situation, he needed his two biggest stars back under the spotlight. Since the last time, Ava is now at home and recovering at Natalie's mother's. The lump is gone and the infection is slowly but surely taking a turn for the better, much to the relief of both John and Natalie.
Although Natalie was in an awkward position, one person who wasn't in an inept position, was John. He had wholeheartedly admitted his feeling for Natalie, noting that Maria was nothing more than a rebound chick. He loved the woman he had once hated for the longest time. Although he was up against Randy in their battle for Natalie's heart, he hoped that their time together with Ava was enough to convince her that they did, belong together. However, her actions since then spoke otherwise. Since the admittance, she really has only talked to him when it was necessary. It seemed like she was holding back and he wasn't too thrilled with the current situation. However, there was absolutely nothing he could do about it.
-- at the hotel room -
Natalie had found Randy's hotel and couldn't wait to open the door. However, when she did - she was pleasantly surprised. It was not just a hotel room, but a very expensive suite. Following her footsteps were rose petals and candles leading over to Randy standing there in a blue polo shirt tight right around the arms and black dress plants.
"Baby, what is all of this?" Natalie asked amazed at the site before her.
"Come here, baby."
"Randy, what's this?"
"Well, I wanted to surprise you when you came back from seeing Ava, since I know you went through hell with that little girl." Randy said getting down on one knee.
"What's going on here?"
"Natalie, I know we haven't been together as a couple for very long, but I love you. I love you more than I ever thought I could ever love anyone. You're constantly in my head, everything I ever want is with you. You're the one I dream about and you're my motivation. You've been there with me in the best of times and the worst. I can't see ever being without you. So, what I am trying to say is, Nat, will you marry me?" Randy said holding out the five carat diamond engagement ring.
"OMG! Randy, I don't know what to say."
"Yes, I hope."
"I'd love to be Mrs. Orton!" Natalie said as he slid the ring on her finger and kissed her passionately. "What..a..lovely..surprise, Orton! I can't believe I'm engaged."
"I can't believe you said yes." Randy said as they laid down on the bed together.
"I didn't expect this at all. Where did you find this gorgeous ring?" Natalie said looking at the dazzling rock on her finger.
"I just found it the other day and it screamed Natalie. High class or no class, right babe?" Randy said mentioning Natalie's favorite quote.
"Most def. I can't believe it. You are too good to me." Natalie said as she kissed him as he turned her over and straddled her.
"I want you." Randy said as he started taking off her dress and kissing down her neck, making her moan with delight.
-- meanwhile -
"She must have said yes." Adam remarked as he sat in the locker room with John Cena.
"What are you talking about she must have said yes?" John questioned the new best friend of Randy Orton and had a funny feeling it had to do with Ava's mother.
"Nothing, it's nothing." Adam said nonchalantly, he was given exact orders not to tell anyone, especially John Cena.
"What is it, Adam? I can read you, what are you hiding?"
"John, I said it is nothing."
"Then tell me."
"Fine. Randy asked Natalie to marry him and she must have said yes, because he didn't call me back."
"He did what?" John asked, shocked at what he had just heard.
"He proposed to your baby's momma." Adam laughed.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me."
"No, bro. I am not kidding you. He was going to ask her today, when you and her came back."
"I got to go." Cena said storming out of the locker room; he had to go someplace. He didn't care that he'd probably get hell for it later from Vince; he needed to get away.
-- later on that night -
It was Monday Night RAW, and John Cena demanded a match against Randy Orton. He wanted vengeance. Basically, they both fought their battles but with the ring on her finger, Randy Orton, for now, won the war. However, this war was FAR from over in the eyes of John Cena. He wasn't going to stop until he had his family back.
