"Is it bad I just realized today is nine eleven?" Ted asks as he drives the car into the bar's parking lot.
"Yes." I say. "It's important."
"True…"
"How'd you forget it anyways?" John asks.
"I don't know."
"Oh, Teddy Bear." Maryse says.
Randy, Eve, Chelle, Cody, John, and I share a look. "Teddy Bear?" Randy asks.
"It's his nickname. Mine is Ryses Cup."
"That's...actually really clever. How did Ted come up with that?"
Maryse shrugs as we head inside the bar. We sit down at a table.
"Let's play Two Truths and a Lie, but whoever guesses the lie wrong has to take a shot." Michelle says.
The rest of us agree and we order a few trays of shots.
"I'll go." Eve says. "I know Jiu-Jitsu, I have a brother, and I went to College for seven years."
"Um...the brother?" John guesses.
"Wrong." Eve makes John take a shot.
"Jiu-jitsu?" Ted guesses.
"Nope the college for seven years."
Ted takes a shot. "I am adopted, I am a Former Tag Champion, and one of my brothers is named Brett."
"Brother?" Michelle asks.
"Nope. Take one, Chelle."
"Adopted because we are tag champs, Dumbass." Cody says.
"Correct."
"I am related to Goldust, I used to be a vegan, and I used to not be able to stand Randy."
"Vegan. Obviously." I say.
"Damn it. You're too good, Smith. Who's winning right now?"
"Everyone who hasn't had a shot. I'm an expert at playing Pool, I beat Randy at Beer Pong twice, and Randy took my virginity."
Randy smirks knowingly, but he doesn't answer. Cody decides to try. "Pool expert?"
"I am a Pool expert. Take a shot, young Padawan."
"Star wars reference...nice."
"Next guess?"
"Virginity?" John guesses.
"Nope. He took it before I met you. It was Beer Pong. I beat him only once."
"Okay. I hate Star Wars, I won the IC Title, and I used to be a Bodybuilder."
"It better be the Star Wars one." Cody says.
"Nope."
"Sith Lord!" He yells at John.
"Anyone else?"
"IC Title?" Maryse guesses.
"Yes."
"Okay. I understand Spanish, I used to want to be a Fashion Designer, and I had a crush on that Sheamus O'Shaughnessy guy."
"Spanish?" Eve guesses.
"No."
"Fashion?" Randy guesses.
"No...Sheamus."
Randy sits in silence before leaning over to whisper in my ear. "I could say I have a kid as one. I feel like it's an easy way to tell everyone 'cept you and John. What do you think?"
I turn and whisper to him. "Whatever works for you."
He kisses my cheek. "Thanks for your opinion, Rissa."
"You're welcome."
"Okay...I have a collection of toy cars, I fought with Stacy during the entirety of our relationship, and I have a kid."
"The toy cars?" Cody asks.
"No. Drink yo shot."
"The kid?" Michelle asks.
Randy looks at me. "The fights with Stacy was a lie."
Michelle spits out her water. "A kid? Who's the mother?"
"Chelle," I say. "Remember our friend from back in Saint Louis, Samantha Speno?"
"Randy had a kid with her? You knew?"
"Yeah...I'm the Godmother."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Randy didn't want me to. Before you freak out, he was just being overprotective of her."
"Wait a sec." Ted says. "You're telling us that Randy has a daughter."
"Yes." John says.
"You knew too?" Michelle asks.
"Randy threatened to beat the shit out of me if I did tell."
"Fine…" She huffed. "I was a seventh grade science teacher, my favorite color is blue, and I slapped Deuce n' Domino once backstage."
"Deuce n' Domino?" Randy asks.
"No."
"Blue." I say.
"Yes."
"Who drank what most to least?"John asks.
I tally the results. The results are: Eve- 1, Ted- 1, Cody- 3, Marissa- 0, John- 2, Maryse- 0, Randy- 2, and Michelle- 2.
"Cody drank 3. You, Chelle, and Randy had 2, Eve and Ted drank 1, and Ryse and I had none."
"I did n-not drink t-t-three. I d-drank f-five. I s-snuck some."Cody says slurring.
"Someone's drunk." Randy says. "Hey, Babe. Let's play a game."
"We just did." I say.
"A game where we see how long it takes to get you making out with me."
"I'll end that game."
I look at him and press my lips onto his. Randy grabs me and pulls my body closer to him as he kisses my lips. I'm surprised that no one has said anything yet about PDA.
I turn my head. I see Eve and Cody walking outside, Ryse and Ted by the stage, and Chelle and John making out by the bathrooms. Randy lips press against my neck.
"We could call a taxi and head back to our hotel if you grab my phone off the table for me." Randy says.
I hand him his phone. He smiles. "I think you're tired."
"No...I'm not." I say before yawning.
"Yes, you are, Rissa." I lay against him as he calls for a taxi. After he is done, he carries me outside to wait outside for the taxi.
I sit down in taxi after it pulls up to the bar. Randy sits next to me. I am so tired right now. Maybe, I shouldn't have agreed to go to the bar. I cuddle into Randy. He plays with my hair until the taxi pulls up at the hotel. We exit the taxi. As we walk into the hotel, I see Kelly...talking to John Laurinaitis.
I tap Randy's shoulder and point to Kelly and John. He looks at me curiously. Things get even more interesting when Kane, Miz, and Jack Swagger, in a druid's robe with the hood not up, walk over to the other two. How did I not see it before? Not many men are his size. Jack Swagger is one of the druids. Randy and I watch them. They're having a heated discussion about something. Laurinaitis looks and points at us. The others look at us. I feel Randy pull me close to him as Laurinaitis walks over to us.
"Well, well, well…" John says. "Look who it is. The bitch who got me fired."
I give Laurinaitis a smug look. "You gave me the reason to get you fired."
"You know that is bullshit, little girl."
"Little girl?"
"Yes, you little girl."
"I am many things, but I am NOT a little girl."
"You can be a little asskisser then."
I look at Randy before turning back and slapping Laurinaitis. Kelly walks over.
"Who do you think you are?" She asks. "John-" I cut her off with another slap.
"I have you guys figured out." I say to the other three. "Laurinaitis was the mastermind of this."
Swagger lunges at me. Randy stands in front of me. The other three men look at eachother and then at Randy. They look like they are going to beat him up until Paul and my brother, Shane stand next to him. There is an intense staredown for a few minutes.
"Sunday…" Kane says before his group walks away.
