Just as the twenty-minute mark hits I stand up to tell Harley to take me to the nearest liquor store when there is a knock on the door. I walk to it and open it to find randy standing before me.
"I didn't know what you liked so I bought a little of everything." He says holding a huge bag in one hand and a case of beer in the other which just so happens to be my favorite, Michelob Ultra.
"Ooh, you are a mind reader," I say and he laughs before coming onto the bus. I close the door and turn to Harley, "What hotel did John say again, Harley?" I ask him as he starts to drive.
"The Holiday inn, he already checked you in the key is in that envelope on the table." He says and I nod.
"I could stay here but that's cool," I said before walking to the living room where Randy has already cracked a beer, I grab my key for my room then look at him.
"Hey, no fair you got a head start," I say and he chuckles.
"You better catch up then sweetheart." He says and I laugh before grabbing a beer, popping it open, and downing half of it.
By the time we reached the hotel which took maybe thirty minutes, due to traffic, we are both tipsy because our smart selves decided to see who can drink a beer the fastest, and now we are both getting hammered. Harley tells me the room number as Randy and I gather up our alcohol and manage to make it inside and to my room. I open the door and go inside followed by Randy. He is not near as drunk as I am but I fully plan on fixing that. I lay the two bottles of crown on the table and crack the seal on one before taking a nice-sized shot.
"Your turn," I say holding the bottle out to him.
"I'm not much of a crown man." He says and I raise an eyebrow at him.
"Then what kind of man are you viper?" I ask hissing at him. He laughs before pulling a bottle of Jack Daniels black label from his bag.
"Ooh, you didn't share that little gem," I say and he looks at me.
"You drink Jack?" He asks as he cracks the seal and takes a shot.
"Oh, yea but that may not be the best idea I get very handsy with Jack," I say and the look that crosses his face tells me he'd like to see that. "Not the best idea on our first date," I say and he laughs.
"This is a date?" He asks and I nod taking yet another shot.
"Well, not much of one since I'm grieving over an ex but almost," I say before turning my portable speaker on along with my phone before starting some music. I didn't turn it up too loud but loud enough we can hear it clearly.
"So that's what the phone call was about earlier." He says as if a light bulb clicked on.
"Yea… but as much as I cared for him, I deep down knew it would never work because of some addiction problems but you, I don't feel that way with you," I say and now the crown decides to make me brave and I take another swing before sitting the bottle on the table and walking to him. I look deeply into his eyes wanting so bad to kiss him. 'What's stopping you?' That little voice in my head says to me and with all the alcohol in my system I listen. I grab his shirt, pull him to me, and kiss him so hard it makes my head spin. He groans against my mouth as he pulls me even closer to him, his body so close to mine I can feel every inch of his body against me. I know there are clothes between us but damn his body feels so good against mine. Before I can stop myself I am reaching out for the bottom of his shirt and pulling it up. He quickly gets the picture and breaks our kiss before I remove his shirt and throw it to the side. I see him smirk before he picks me up and carries me to the bed. The next thing I know I'm underneath him as he kisses me his hands searching every single inch of my body as if they are looking for something. I can't stop the moan that escapes me as his hands move under my shirt and straight towards my bra and that's when I hear it a *Bang Bang Bang* against the door and we both freeze. "Charlie are you here?" I hear behind the pounding on the door and I know immediately that's John. I look at Randy and try to hold back my laughter as he just looks down at me, damn alcohol.
"Let me go deal with him," I say and he nods before moving and lying on the bed beside me. I get up to go and straight to the door but I make sure John can't see randy before I open it.
"What do you want?" I snap as I open the door just enough he can see my face.
"Damn are you alright?" He asks and I look at him confused. "You look like you've been crying." He says and I remember my makeup is probably everywhere.
"Oh, yea that," I say and this look crosses his face.
"What is that? Did Jake contact you finally?" He asks and I shake my head no.
"Not exactly," I say and take a deep breath, "John they found him dead last week his funeral was this morning," I say feeling the tears threatening to come back by just saying it out loud.
"Oh shit." He says before pulling me into a hug.
"I knew he was having a hard time but he never told me how hard. If I could have been there maybe things would have been different but honestly, I don't know if it would have changed anything. He didn't love me like he said he did." I say.
"Hey don't blame yourself that is not your fault you did what you felt was right to help him and he didn't take your help. That is not your fault." He says and I nod, then it hits me who is in there in my bed and I back up so he can't see inside but I think I'm busted because he stares behind me then down at me.
"Do you have someone in there?" He asks and I nod but I refuse to tell him who.
"Just a friend helping me drink my worries away," I say and he nods, not questioning it.
"Okay try not to drink too much you, my agent has already called and has us an interview set up about tonight's show, you go before me because apparently, we're feuding." He says and I have to laugh at that apparently and we will be if he figures out who's in there.
"Ok I will be up and ready in the morning, I got a text from the agent Stephanie assigned to me but I didn't read it yet but I will," I say and he nods.
"Goodnight sis," he says and I smile at him.
"Goodnight bro," I say and he chuckles before walking off down the hall. I close the door and go back to where Randy is sitting on the edge of the bed but is still shirtless.
"So I'm a drinking buddy huh?" He asks and I have to laugh.
"At first yes but after what happened I'm not so sure," I say and he looks at me.
"Fuck buddy?" He says and that really makes me laugh.
"No god I hope not maybe more than that one day," I say with a wink and he grins.
"I was hoping you'd say that but for now I better head out before we are fuck buddies. I haven't even asked you on a date yet." He says and I grin, 'please do just that,' I think to myself hoping he would.
"How about after our interview in the morning I take you out for coffee?" He asks, okay simple coffee date first I like that idea.
"That sounds perfect." Then it hits me, he said our interview. "Our interview?" I ask and he nods.
"We're being interviewed at the same time tomorrow seeing as how we're being called the new power couple of WWE." He says and I look at him confused.
"After one encounter we are the new power couple?" I ask and he nods.
"The WWE universe is none too slow about making assumptions about everything especially relationships, I could have just looked at you a certain way and we would have been in a relationship the next day." He says and I laugh damn that's fast.
"Damn that's crazy," I say before grabbing my phone that just happens to be in my pocket and read the message from my agent.
^You need to be at radio 92.5 at seven in the morning you and Randy Orton have a radio interview on their morning show at seven-thirty and John is immediately after. Make sure you and randy are seen together leaving the hotel, going into the station, the whole nine yards you two really need to sell this, Ms. McMahon orders. If you see John there STAY in character. I know you two are family and you don't hate each other but for the sake of your job make sure you act like you can't stand him. See you in the morning.^ I read the text from my agent, damn they are really trying to sell this.
"My agent says we have to go to this interview together," I say to him and he nods.
"Yea mine told me the same thing." He says.
"Huh, so I wonder if someone saw you come in here with me," I say and he laughs.
"If I had to guess probably but that shouldn't be a big deal but after tomorrow well be in the spotlight even more. This radio show we're going to is broadcast everywhere not just locally." He says and I take a deep breath. Damn this is insane. I sit and think about everything then look up as randy stands up.
"See you in the morning?" He asks and I nod.
"Of course but you're more than welcome to stay," I say and he chuckles.
"Probably not the best idea right now, but soon." He says and kisses me quickly before heading towards the door. I look over on the floor and see his shirt. I grab it and hold it up.
"Hey viper, forgetting something?" I say and he stops and turns to face me. His eyes widen when he sees his shirt in my hand.
"Yea I may need that to keep from getting attacked huh?" He says with a chuckle as he walks over to me and grabs his shirt. He quickly puts it on before heading to the door.
"Goodnight Charlie." He says as he opens the door.
"Goodnight Randy," I say then he leaves, closing the door behind him. I flop back on the bed looking up at the ceiling, my buzz from earlier completely gone. I think I have a thing for Randy and John damn near demanding I stay away from him makes me want him that much more. I don't know what to do about this but I know I can't help myself around Randy. I may have to talk to John about this because I don't think I can live without him.
