Raw: September 10, 2012

I look at Randy. "I am going to kick some ass tonight."

Randy raises an eyebrow at me. "You are?"

I smile. "We are going to kick some ass tonight."

"That's the truth. You're so amazing."

"Am I?"

"You're amazing, and that's never not going to be true, Marissa."

"So are you."

"I know."

I laugh. "You know? You're so full of yourself."

"I'm not going to deny that."

"You can't. Randy Orton will always have a huge ego."

"I thought you loved that quality of mine."

I smile as he leans in close. "I do…most of the time at least."

Randy laughs. "You're not much better."

"I'm a lot better."

Randy kisses me. "Say whatever you want to say."

The locker-room door opens, and Ted walks in. "Why do I almost always catch you two while you're kissing?"

I laugh. "Because that's just what we do."

"Yeah, that's what it seems like. All the PDA."

Randy shrugs. "It's our locker-room, Ted. I'll kiss her if I want to."

I smile. "Exactly."

"Anyway…you two have a Mixed Tag Team match tonight?"

"Yeah, it's against Vickie and Dolph."

"Why?"

"Because Randy and I want to get the opportunity to beat them up and AJ can't beat up Vickie herself."

"Okay, that's fair. Anything else going on?"

"A certain someone is kinda annoyed that her brother didn't tell her about his new girlfriend." Randy answers.

Ted looks at me. "Tyler has a new girlfriend?"

I sigh. "Yeah, he doesn't know that Randy and I know, but we do know."

"Are you going to meet her soon?"

"Apparently at his birthday party."

"Didn't you introduce him to Chris at one of his birthday parties?"

"Yes, but I told him about it in advance. Plus, the drama that involved Chris while we were there wasn't all Chris's fault."

Randy looks around awkwardly. "Sorry."


I hear voices in my head

They council me

They understand

They talk to me…

"And their opponents, the team of the Divas Champion, Marissa and the Apex Predator, Randy Orton!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Randy and Dolph start the match off. The two men lock up. Randy takes Dolph down to the ground with a Headlock. Dolph escapes and kicks Randy in the face. Dolph grabs Randy and hits a DDT. Dolph pins Randy.

1…kickout!

Dolph locks in an Armbar and looks directly at me. Randy gets out of the submission and nails Dolph with a Clothesline. Dolph gets back up and Randy hits him with a Scoop Slam. Randy taunts for the RKO, but Vickie pulls Dolph out of the ring. Randy and I exchange a look before I run and jump off the apron to hit a Crossbody on Vickie and Dolph. I throw Dolph back into the ring. Randy pins Dolph.

1…2…kickout!

Dolph goes to hit Randy with a Superkick, but Randy avoids it. Randy knocks Dolph over the top rope and onto the apron. Randy hits Dolph in the gut before hitting him with the Draping DDT. Randy pins Dolph.

1…2…kickout!

Vickie slowly steps in the ring to try to help Dolph, but she quickly exits the ring as soon as I look at her.

I look at Randy. "Tag me in!"

Randy stomps on Dolph before smirking and tagging me in.

I step into the ring. That also means Vickie is going to be forced to step in the ring. Vickie looks around nervous before stepping into the ring. She runs at me, but I catch her with an Arm Drag. When Vickie gets up, I hit her with a Superkick. She falls to the ground. I taunt to Dolph before grabbing Vickie. I smile before hitting Vickie with the Chaotic Ending and pinning her.

1…2…3!

"Here are your winners, Marissa and Randy Orton!"

Randy immediately slid into the ring and pulled me into a hug. I leaned onto him and grinned. I watched as Vickie rolled out of the ring and Dolph helped her walk backstage.

Randy kissed me. "Great job, sweetheart."

I shrug. "It was only Vickie."

Randy laughed. "Still a win."

"I guess you have a valid point, Randal."

"I do have a valid point, Marissa." Randy grabbed my arm and raised it in celebration.


Randy sat with me in our hotel room. "Rissa, you're so beautiful."

I smile as I'm sitting at the table, eating french fries. "Even when I'm breaking my diet and looking like a bum?"

Randy walked over and looked at me. "You don't ever look like a bum to me."

"You're too kind. Want some?"

Randy took some fries. "You're damn right I do."

I laugh. "This is so nice."

Randy smiled as he ate the fries. "It really is. Neither of us have too much to worry about at the moment."

"No kidding. You get to relax."

"Until we find something else to stress out about."

"Well…there's some things that are bothering me."

Randy moved me, so I'd be sitting on his lap. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"What about relaxing?"

Randy gave me a serious look. "If you need to get some things off your chest, get some things off your chest."

"I don't trust Eve. I know she apologized to Michelle and Maryse. They both want things to be normal again, but I'm almost worried that if Eve and I still have issues, it'll screw that up."

"Stop holding yourself to expectations that those two aren't even holding you to. They don't expect you to forgive Eve. You probably shouldn't if she doesn't apologize. Hell, I'm surprised that Chelle even forgave Eve since she sided with Laurinaitis, and we all know Cena's history with Laurinaitis."

"No kidding."

"All Eve has done when it comes to you is tried to shake your hand. I don't even think she really meant that, and I know you don't think so either."

"I don't."

"She may be trying to get close, so she can get another chance at the Divas Championship. Just wait, she'll use the fact that she's pinned Kaitlyn soon."

"So you don't trust her either?"

"I don't. And I know John and Ted don't either. It's surprising, but I think us guys are holding bigger grudges than the girls, other than you."

"You may be right."
