Chapter35

Randy and Paige rode in her brand new black BMW Beamer that her father gave to her to start driving. In reality it was because the side panels popped off, under them were guns and bullets that the police would never find. After Paige found out about the real family business, and after Paige's request for the hit, Mr. Santino had realized that Paige was indeed a fine asset to the family. As long as the guns and bullets stayed hidden, no one would ever suspect her of being involved in any criminal activity. They had just dropped off Holly at Mel's place and were heading to the townhouse, it was a couple days after the incident in Chicago. Randy turned to his girlfriend who had her eyes plastered to the road in front of her.

"So, umm, what did you talk to your dad about?" He asked.

Paige swallowed as they stopped at a red light. "I told him about Ben." She said with an eerily calm voice.

Randy raised his eyebrows. "So, what did he say?" He asked her.

"He's taken care of Randy, now can we please not talk about it?" She more demanded than asked.

Randy squinted his eyes at her. "What did you just say?" He asked as she pulled in front of the house.

Paige took off her seat belt and got out of the car. "I said, it's been taken care of." She told him shrugging her shoulders as she walked up the front steps of the house. She walked inside and dropped her purse on the dining room table on her way into the kitchen.

Randy walked into the kitchen and leaned against the granite counter top and shook his head. "No, you said he's taken care of." Randy corrected.

Paige paused for a moment as she reached into the fridge. She cursed to herself. "What does it matter Randy?" She asked as she placed the orange juice on the counter. "Because, I want to now how long it took you to decide to end another person's life." Paige shook her head. "He's not a person, Randy, he's a problem. A problem that needs to be exterminated." She said as she poured the orange juice in the glass.

Randy turned to face her. "Would you listen to yourself, you're starting to sound like-"

Paige turned around and looked at him with fire in her eyes. "Sound like what Randy? Really, I'd like to know." Paige crossed her arms and sipped her orange juice.

Randy closed his eyes and sighed. "Like a mafia princess." He said hesitantly.

Paige took a large gulp of orange juice. Randy never understood how she drank orange juice throughout the day the way she did, then again, there were a lot of things about Paige he didn't understand.

Paige placed the glass down on the counter and turned to Randy. "Well, so far that hasn't proven to be such a bad thing after all." She told him as she crossed her arms again.

"Yea, tell that to Ricky." He said and then immediately regretted it. Bringing Ricky up in an argument was the absolute lowest blow he could probably throw at Paige. Randy's thoughts were broken when he felt Paige's hand whip across his face. He closed his eyes as he felt the sting of Paige's knuckles coming in contact with his cheek. That would probably leave a bruise. When Randy opened his eyes, he saw Paige staring angrily at him.

"You know, I really hate you sometimes Orton." She said with one eyebrow raised. Randy stepped closer to her, backing her up to the counter and placing his hands on the countertops on either side of her, closing her in. "Yea, well, I really hate you sometimes too." He told her angrily.

"I hate you more," She moved one of his arms out of the way and walked across to the other countertop where Randy had been leaning before.

Randy came up behind her and guided her hands to the counter as he kissed her spot on the side of her neck.

Paige let a moan escape her lips, she was almost instantly lost in him.

"Did I ever tell you how unbelievably sexy you are when you're mad?" He asked.

"No," She said before another moan escaped her lips. She remembered what they were arguing about, but she couldn't care less at the moment.

Randy bunched her skirt up around her waist and undid his belt buckle.

Paige let a soft moan escape her lips as he slid into her. "I really hate you." She said, her breathing was jagged and heavy.

Randy slid his hands down over hers and kept hem firmly on the counter. He took one hand and turned her face so he could passionately kiss her.

"I really hate you too," He told her huskily. Paige was in complete ecstasy at the moment. Randy knew her spots, he knew how to make her moan softly, and he knew just how to get her to scream his name. The best part of their chaotic relationship was the sex. Sometimes Randy wondered if he stayed more for love or for the sex.

Sometime later, the two sat on the kitchen floor, clothes and shoes strewn all over the white tile floor. Paige wore nothing but Randy's blue button up shirt pulled around her body, and Randy wore just a pair of boxers which matched the blue button up shirt. The two leaned against the cabinets with a pint of ice cream from the freezer. Paige leaned against Randy as she ate it, occasionally turning and sticking a spoonful into his mouth as Randy just kept an arm lazily around her waist. He kissed her on the side of the head.

"I'm sorry about bringing up Ricky before, I didn't mean to. I guess…" He started and trailed off.

Paige shifted slightly and turned her head to look at him. "What? Come on tell me." She pleaded softly.

"It's a dangerous world, and I worry about you." He told her. "I don't want to lose you." He sighed as he dropped another kiss on her temple.

"You won't, I promise." She said as she moved another spoonful of ice cream to his mouth.

Suddenly, Randy let out a laugh.

Paige looked at him strangely before speaking. "What's so funny?" She asked.

"Nothing, I just realized, you never let me hit it from the back before." He told her as he made tiny circles with his index finger on the side of her thigh.

Paige took a spoonful of ice cream. "We've also never had sex in the kitchen, there's a first time for everything." Paige shifted slightly and the blue shirt rode up her side a bit and Randy saw it, black cursive letters on her skin. But as quickly as they were there, they were gone as Paige continued to shift.

Randy stopped her and lifted the shirt up and saw the word Bella tattooed over Paige's left pelvis bone where it could easily be hidden with even low-rise jeans or panties. He furrowed his eyebrows at her.

"When did you get this?" He asked with a little bit of shock.

"About two weeks ago, when you went out to Seattle." She told him.

Randy was still confused. "How come I didn't see it before?" He asked.

"I've been covering it with make-up, I wasn't ready for anyone to know about it." She told him. Just then, her cellphone rang, she quickly scrambled across the room to her skirt which held her sidekick in the pocket. She knew it was her father by the ringtone "That's Amore"

When the moon hits your eyes like a big pizza pie. Her phone blared out until she picked it up and answered it.

"Hey daddy!" She answered happily.

"Bella, I need an extra hand here at the restaurant right now." He told her.

Paige nodded her head. "Sure daddy, I'm over at Randy's so I'll be there in about fifteen minutes or so…mhmm…okay…love you too, bye." And with that she hung up. Paige stood from the kitchen floor and threw her hair up into a ponytail.

"Where are you going?" Randy asked.

"To the restaurant, a couple girls called in sick and he needs an extra hand." She told him. Paige went up the stairs, took a five minute shower, and changed into a light pink terry cloth dress and a pair of flip flops.

The doorbell rang, and Randy went to answer it, still in his boxers. He opened it to see Adam and Johnny on the other side.

"Hey guys," He nodded to them as he let them into the front hallway.

Johnny walked into the kitchen and saw the clothes all over the tile floor. He turned back to Randy. "What happened in here?" He asked.

Just then, the three men heard light footsteps coming down the stairs.

Paige smiled at the two and then turned to Randy. "I'm off, I'll probably be back around one in the morning or so." She smiled again.

"Who's Beamer is that out front?" Adam asked. Paige raised her hand with the set of keys in it.

"It's a little present from dad." She shrugged her shoulders. "Although, there was nothing wrong with my Mustang." She said as she looked out at the car.

Adam raised his eyebrows. "You're complaining?" He asked.

Paige shook her head and smiled. "No, not at all, perks of being the only daughter." She leaned in and kissed Randy. "You guys should come through tonight." She said as she closed the door.

Johnny turned to Randy. "I am never eating anything out of your kitchen again." He said as he shook his head.

"I wish I had a dad that would buy me a new car for no reason." Adam commented. "What kind of job does her father have? I mean, that allows him to just buy her a BMW for no reason?" He asked no one in particular.

Randy sighed and thought back to the events of that afternoon. Every time that he and Paige had an argument, it ended in sex, not always make up sex, but just sex. Sometimes Randy thought the only thing holding them together was the lust they had for one another. Randy couldn't help it, he loved her more than anything. Sure, Paige was dangerous and chaos followed her wherever she went, but Randy knew that was the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

X-X-X

When Paige got to the restaurant, she walked into the back office and went into the little closet where her uniform hung. She changed and tied her hair back in a neat blonde

ponytail. When she walked out of the room, she was immediately approached by her brother Luke.

"Paige, do me a favor, go downstairs and get the sauce from the basement?" He asked.

"Sure," Paige turned on the heels of her shoes and went downstairs where the Santino's and the Peretti's were having a little meeting. Paige walked over to the box of tomato sauce cans at the back of the room. She was struggling to pick it up, when suddenly, a pair of strong arm was lifting the box from her arms. She looked up at Paul and smiled at him.

"I got it Paige." He told her as he held the box with no problem. She smiled brightly at him.

"Can you bring those to the storage closet for me?" She asked sweetly. Paul nodded and followed her up the stairs.

X-X-X

Later that night, Randy, Johnny, and Adam came to the restaurant. The hostess came from around the podium and hugged Randy.

"How are you?" She asked him.

"I'm good Mel, and you?" He asked.

She rolled her eyes. "I've seen sunnier days." She said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Is someone with Holly?" He asked.

Mel nodded. "Yea, Carmine and Annie are at my place with her, so I'm filling in for Peter so he can fill in bartending for Carmine." She told him. Mel looked past Randy at Adam and Johnny. "Adam and Johnny, right?" She asked as she pointed to the two.

They both nodded and Mel smiled brightly. "Oh my God, I've heard so much about you from Melina and Amy. I'm Mel, Paige's friend. It's nice to finally meet you." She said with her genuine smile.

"Speaking of the blond devil, where is she?" Johnny asked, earning a punch on the arm from Randy.

Mel laughed. "I don't know, she's been working pretty hard, two girls called in sick." Mel told them as she grabbed three menus.

"About four more people are going to be joining us." Randy told her.

Mel nodded, picking up four more menus. She walked them over to a table in the back and sat them down. "Your waitress should be out in a couple of minutes." She smiled and left them.

"Paige has some fine ass friends." Johnny commented as Mel walked away. Randy rolled his eyes.

"And last time I checked, you have a fine ass girlfriend of your own." Randy said to his friend.

"Who's got a fine ass girlfriend?" Ashley asked as the four girl walked over to their table. The other four people joining them were Ashley, Candice, Amy and Melina. Randy shook his head at his ex-girlfriend's question.

"Don't worry about it, its guy stuff." Randy told her and Ashley rolled her eyes. Just then, someone came up to their table.

"Hey Orton," Randy turned around to see Luke approaching the table.

"Hey Luke, how you been?" He asked.

"Eh, I've seen sunnier days." He said and shrugged his shoulders.

Randy let out a slight laugh. "That's exactly what Mel said." Randy looked around. "Where's your sister?" He asked. Luke shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, the girl works hard, you'll see her though, this is her section." Luke looked around the table at the Divas and the other two guys at the table.

"Luke, this is Adam, Johnny, Ashley, Candice, Amy and Melina." Randy said as he pointed around the table. Luke smiled his sexy smile at the Divas as he shook each of their hands.

"It's a pleasure to meet you ladies." He said as he winked at them. He then acknowledged Johnny and Adam. Luke then clapped Randy on the shoulder.

"I'll catch you later," He said before walking off. Candice bit her lip and looked after Luke, as did the three other women at the table.

"Who was that?" Candice asked. Randy smirked at their expressions.

"That's Paige's brother Luke." Randy informed them.

Suddenly, Johnny caught sight of Paige behind Randy. "Hey, who's that guy talking to Paige?" He asked as he nodded in Paige's direction. Randy turned around and saw Paige standing a laughing about something with Paul. He suddenly felt a surge of jealousy run through his entire body. Paige and Paul stood awfully close to one another. Randy watched the two for a moment as Paige flirtatiously flicked her hair over her shoulder. Randy had seen that hair flick a million times, the only problem was the fact that she was doing it for someone else. Randy felt like he was going to be sick if he watched any longer. He turned around to the table.

"That's Paul, he's a friend." He said shortly.

Paige came over to the table, smiling. "Hey guys!" She said happily. She leaned down to kiss Randy, but he turned so she caught his cheek. Weird. Paige thought, but brushed it off.

"How are you feeling?" Ashley asked.

"I don't know. I think I'm coming down with something, my stomach has been a little queasy." Paige shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe something I ate." Paige told them as she placed a hand on her stomach.

"Or you could be pregnant." Melina joked.

Paige looked around making sure none of her brothers were close by. "I don't know what you're talking about Melina, I'm still a virgin. Right, Randy?" Paige asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

Randy rolled his eyes. "Yea baby, you are." He said and the table broke into laughter.

Later, everyone went back to Paige's apartment, she had stayed behind because her dad needed her for something. The girls sat talking on the couch, as the three guys sat playing video games on Paige's plasma screen television. Paige came in the door looking a bit flustered. She had her hair thrown up into a messy ponytail and wore her jacket around her body.

"Hey everyone," She said with a smile as she walked into the living room. She dropped her bag on the couch. Randy looked over and smirked at Paige as he pictured her scantily clad body sitting with him on the kitchen floor.

"Is that blood?" Amy asked as she pointed down to Paige's white shoes. On the tip of the left shoe was a large red spot. Paige shook her head and began to laugh.

"No, it's not blood." His blood curdling screams bounced off of the empty walls of the warehouse. There was blood everywhere. Paige had cut off two fingers on Ben's right hand, and three on his left.

"Please stop, I'm sorry, just stop!" Ben pleaded.

Paige laughed at his pathetic plea.

"Aw, Holly you here that? He wants us to stop." Paige said to Holly in a mocking tone.

Holly laughed right along with Paige. She walked up close to Ben and knelt down to sitting level. "Why should we stop Ben, hmm? Did you stop when I was laying in my own blood on the floor while you beat the shit out of me? Did you?" Holly yelled. She grabbed something off of the table and unscrewed the little green cap. It was a lemon shaped bottle of lemon juice. "So, my answer is no Ben, I'm not going to stop." Holly squeezed the bottle and let the acidic lemon juice douse his bloody wounds.

More empty screams filled the warehouse. Paige cringed inwardly as she thought back to what she and Holly had done. She didn't quite fully understand how she could do things like that. Cutting Ben's fingers off, bashing Mike's head in with a rock. What scared her the most is that she didn't lose sleep over it. What's happening to me? She thought to herself. Paige snapped back from her thoughts. She shook her head vigorously.

"Cassie and I were painting; this is what happens when you have a five year-old niece." Paige smiled at the group. "I'm just going to go clean up. I'll be right back." She said as she rushed into her bathroom. Once the door was safely closed, Paige took off her jacket and let it drop to the floor, revealing a blood splattered white t-shirt. Paige peeled the blood splattered t-shirt off of her body and tossed it into a plastic bag before tossing it in her metal trash can, she would burn that later. She took off the rest of her clothes and got into the scolding hot shower, scrubbing every inch of her body. She was so deep in thought, she didn't even hear Randy come in.

He quietly opened the glass shower door and leaned against the tile wall just outside the shower door.

"So, how did you do it?" He asked suddenly, startling Paige, he had caught her completely off guard.

Paige turned off the shower as Randy brought her a towel and wrapped it around her body.

She then stepped out of the shower and began to brush her wet hair in the mirror.

Randy came up and leaned on the sink next to her with his back to the mirror.

Paige glanced over at him.

"I didn't kill anyone Randy." She told him plainly as she continued to mess with her hair. Randy furrowed his eyebrows at her.

"A couple of days ago, you order a hit on someone, and tonight you show up with blood splattered all over you…but you didn't kill Ben?" He asked. Paige looked over at Randy again.

"Nope, it wasn't me." She told him.

"Then how do you explain the blood?" He asked. Paige smirked a little.

"I never said I didn't hurt Ben, but I didn't kill him." She told him.

"So, he's still alive?" Randy asked. Paige let out an eerily calm laugh.

"No, he's dead." She said as she turned around and leaned on the sink. Randy raised a suspicious eyebrow.

"Who killed him?" He asked.

"Holly did." Paige said with a bit of a smile. She glanced at Randy's confused expression before going on. "It was Holly's idea the entire time; I just went and asked for it so it would be cheaper." Paige told him as she threw her hair up into a ponytail.

Randy thought long and hard as he looked at Paige. She wasn't even fazed by the fact that she came in the apartment blood splattered, nor was she fazed by the fact that her best friend had killed someone. The only conclusion Randy could sum up was that this clearly wasn't new territory to Paige or Holly.

"This isn't the first time you two have dealt with a dead body is it?" He asked. Paige smiled again as she shook her head.

"The first time was an accident. Lorna Mason. She was a year older than me, and a year younger than Luke, he was a senior, I was a sophomore, and she was a junior. She had the biggest crush on Luke. Nothing new, every girl at our school except for me had a crush on Luke. But Lorna was past crushing, it was an obsession. Luke made the mistake of sleeping with the bitch after getting hammered at a party." Randy watched Paige intently as she went on with the story. "Anyways, after that she kept trying to be his girlfriend, but Luke denied her advances. One week while my parents were out of town, Luke was at work, Carmine was in college, and I don't know where Anthony was. Lorna came by the house to see Luke, I told her that he didn't want to see her and she should stop calling my house." Paige stopped as she thought back. "I slammed the door in her face and started up the stairs. She opened the door and came up behind me, threatening to tell the police that Luke had raped her. We were standing at the top of my stairs, and I…pushed her. She went rolling down the stairs, I heard her neck snap as she reached the bottom." Paige looked down at the Aztec blue tile of her bathroom floor. "Holly helped me put Lorna's body back in the car. We drove it off this cliff at a place called Eagle Point; her car fell a hundred feet down to the rocks at the bottom. Bam, it exploded as it hit the bottom." Randy couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Wouldn't they be able to tell that her neck was already broken from the fall?" Randy asked.

"She was decapitated in the crash; they found her head in the back seat." Paige told him. "Paige, she was only a teenager." Randy sighed, he wasn't very keen on the fact that his girlfriend had killed someone.

"Yeah, and so was I. She was about to rip my family apart, do you know what those accusations could have done to my family, to our reputation? I couldn't let that happen. I didn't mean to push her, okay? It was an accident I was scared Randy. I didn't mean for her neck to snap in half like a tooth pick, but I did mean to stop her by any means necessary." Paige looked at him with her intense ocean blue eyes. "You would have done the same thing if you were in my shoes."

"But what about Ben?" Randy asked.

"I didn't kill him, Holly killed him. I had her back through this bullshit just like she had mine. She wanted him dead, I paid for it, cut a few fingers off, that's it. Holly shot him and we left, a few guys who work for Mr. Peretti got rid of the body, it's done." Paige told Randy as she ran her finger through her damp hair.

"What did they do with the body?" Randy asked.

"Cremated it, if there's no body, there's no case. He'll be just another missing person on the bulletin board at the Chicago police office."

Okay guys, there's chapter 35 for you. I know what you're probably thinking, way harsh. But who could blame Holly and Paige for it? Anyways, I want to know what you think!

Author's request: I want to know who everyone's favorite Santino brother is. Is it Anthony: The family man, Carmine: The joker, Peter: The hopeless romantic, or Luke: The heartthrob? Let me know, I'm just curious.

Luv always,
