A/N: Thanks to Croady's Angel, Carrianne, xtremelybold, and bilondollaprnces for reviewing! It means alot to me that the story is being appreciated :)

Sam looked at Shane and laughed. "I know I look good Shane, but damn. Pick up your jaw." She jumped into the pool. "How cool is it that no one else is here?" Amy and Beth nodded at her, and they swam away from the side.
Shane still wasn't sure what to say. He had always thought Sam was beautiful, but now he really saw it. She was five foot six, 118 lbs., with brown hair and striking blue eyes. Those things Shane was used to seeing. Now he noticed that she was, shall we say, very well proportioned. Jeff climbed out of the pool and stood next to Shane.
"You can stop ogling my sister now, man," Jeff said to him.
Shane shook his head. "I wasn't really, I was just surprised by her suit thats all."
Jeff nodded. "She let Amy pick it out for her. That should explain it."
"It does." The door to the pool opened and in walked Randy Orton and Dave Batista, two of the superstars Sam was now representing. She waved when she saw them, and swam over.
"Hey guys! Guess we weren't the only smart people around here."
Randy grinned at her. "Hi Sam. We thought a quick dip would be nice before heading over to the arena, but since you're here, maybe we can stay a little longer." He looked at Dave. "Is that cool?"
Dave nodded. "That's fine." They both jumped in.
Sam asked Dave about his wife. "How is Angie doing?"
He smiled. "She's feeling much better. She said she really enjoyed talking with you last week."
"She is such a sweet person Dave. She needs to come around more often."
He laughed. "Don't let her hear that." Sam gave him a look. "I'm kidding Sam. She's coming next week."
"Good."
She chatted with Dave for a little while before he decided to go back to his room and get ready for the show. Randy stayed in the pool and went over to Sam. "So, Sam."
"So, Randy...whats going on with you these days?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "Not too much really. Just enjoying having a storyline. The Evolution deal is great."
"I'm glad you like it. I know they had big plans for it before you and Dave got injured. Luckily they were able to pick up where it left off."
Randy nodded. "Yeah. Umm...I heard about you and David."
"He really can't keep his mouth shut, can he?"
Randy flinched. "He was upset Sam."
She held up one of her hands. "Please don't defend him to me Randy."
"I'm not, Sam. He told me what he said, and he was totally wrong. I was just explaining why he told me."
"I really don't care what he said to you or what he will say to anyone else. Its over, and I'm ready to move on."
Randy put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm glad Sam." They both smiled, oblivious to the dirty looks Shane was shooting their way.
**********
Amy swam up beside Shane. "Retract the claws there, tiger." Shane looked over and rolled his eyes.
"Whatever Amy."
"You know, Shane, Sam can talk to whoever she likes."
"I know that. Why wouldn't I know that?
She just smirked at his jealous tone. "No reason, Shane."
"I mean, she is over 18. If she wants to hang around someone like Randy, then she can." He paused. "But why aren't Jeff and Matt interfering?"
Amy had an answer. "Matt and I talked about that last night. He thought about how much work Sam went through to keep her relationship with David a secret, and decided to stop trying to tell her who she could and could not date. And as far as I know, he told Jeff the same thing this morning."
"Oh. Well, Randy is a player. You know that."
She put her hand on his arm. "And Sam knows that too. Don't worry Shane. Sam knows what's best for her."
**********
About an hour later they all climbed out of the pool and started drying off. Randy turned to Sam. "So, are we on for after the show?"
She nodded. "That sounds great." Randy smiled and walked into the locker room.
Shane looked at Sam, and his stomach dropped at the happy look on her face. "After the show?"
"Yeah, we're just hitting a club. Alot of the crew are going. Do you wanna come?"
"No, thats ok. I wouldn't want to ruin your date."
She looked shocked. "Excuse me? It is not a date. First of all, I just broke up with one of his closest friends, and second of all I am not really interested in him like that! And even if I was, what difference is it to you?" She picked up her towel and walked towards the door, but she heard his soft response behind her.
"Maybe I just want to know if I have to pick up your pieces anytime soon."
Sam spun around and they could all see the anger flashing in her eyes. "Oh, don't worry Shane. I won't make you pick up anything." She slammed the locker room door behind her.
Amy walked past Shane. She stopped and turned back towards him. "I don't know what this jealousy thing is today Shane, but get over it."
He groaned loudly. "Damn it, Amy. I just want her to be careful."
She eyed him closely. "Are you sure that's all it is?"
"What else would it be?"
Amy shook her head. "When you figure it out, let me know." With that she followed Beth into the locker room.
**********
Walking into the locker room, Amy and Beth could hear the Sam slamming stuff into her bag. They rounded the corner, and Sam looked up.
"Can you believe him? He just makes me so angry." She shook her head and shoved her towel into the bag. "I'm going to go get ready before he comes back to the room. I'll see you guys in the restauraunt."
Sam went up to her room and climbed into the shower. Letting the warm water relax her, Sam's thoughts drifted to Shane. 'Why is he acting like this? He's done it before, I know, but it really bothered me today.' She shook her head and climbed out of the shower. She could hear Shane getting ready in the next room. She finished dressing and blow drying her hair. When she walked out, Shane looked up.
"Sammie, I really am sorry."
She sighed. "Shane, I don't want to deal with arguing with you right now." She walked over to him and put one of her hands on each side of his face. Looking him in the eyes she said, "I love you dearly, Shane, and you know that. But you have to understand that I can make decisions for myself. We will talk about this later, ok?"
He nodded. "I changed my mind though. I am going to the club. I mean, everyone else is, so why not?" 'That,' he thought, 'and I want to keep an eye on Orton.'
She gave a small smile. "Good. I'm having lunch with Amy and Beth downstairs, but we'll meet in the lobby in an hour, ok?"
"Sure Sam." She smiled again, grabbed her bags, and walked out.
Shane sighed before mumbling to himself. "I know Randy, Sam. I am going to be watching him tonight."
Little did Shane know in a few short hours he would have a bigger problem than Randy Orton.

As usual, please R&R! Thanks :)
