Chapter Fifteen: The Men

~Saturday, 6 March 2004~

Randy rolled over onto his side and draped an arm over the air. His eyes shot open when he didn't feel Annie next to him. Yawning, he got out of bed and looked around the hotel room. It had been about three weeks since Annie had told him the news.

At first he had been shocked, but he still firmly believed in his mind that they, as a couple, could handle it. What worried him most was not the baby, but he and Annie's wedding. He didn't want his first born to be illegitimate, a bastard. He knew Annie felt the same way, but they still hadn't talked about moving the wedding up.

Randy walked over to the bathroom door which was slightly ajar. He heard the familiar sound of Annie retching over the toilet and smiled. She had been sick nearly every morning of her pregnancy, and he couldn't help but admire her strength. Every time she got done in the bathroom, she was ready to go.

Her working habits hadn't changed, nor her eating habits. The only thing that had changed was their love making. It was ten times as intense. She always wanted to be in control, and she always it. In the morning, after lunch, during the shows, after the shows, and during the night. Randy had never been so loved. He had never heard of women being more horny during pregnancy, but he just went with the flow.

He was always careful though, and so was she. Because of that, their sex lasted longer. Randy looked down at the forming bulge in his pants and tried to calm himself. Annie would laugh her ass off if she saw the tent forming in his boxers. He tried to move his thoughts to other subjects.

Randy smiled as he thought about the wedding again. He and Annie had decided on a traditional church wedding. They would invite all their friends, all the superstars, of course, their families, and as much as they adored the WWE fans, they both decided that they didn't want it televised. Not only would it screw with the storylines, but it was also something personal that they felt should only be shared between the people they know personally.

He knocked on the door, "Annie, you alright? Do you need a glass of water?"

"I'm-" retch, "fine-" retch, "thanks" retch, "honey." She sighed as she sat up and leaned against the basin of the bathtub, "Damn, I feel like shit," she was finally able to speak without hurling. She flushed the toilet.

"Okay, so now do you want anything? Can I come in?" Randy's voice was nearly a plea. He had to pee, yes, but he also wanted to hold his woman.

"Alright. Come in," she sighed.

Randy opened the door and smiled at the disheveled mess that sat, panting on the floor. After taking a much needed piss, he eased himself down next to her and pulled her into his lap, kissing her head he sighed, "Let's get married, already."

Bringing up the topic of a wedding date so suddenly caught Annie off guard, "Huh?" She shook her head, "When?"

"I don't know. Now. Today. Tomorrow. Soon. I want to be your husband. I want our child to be legitimate and I want to buy our own house. One with a little garden, so that while I'm away, and you're recovering, you can plant the flowers you're always talking about."

Annie sighed, "One with a porch swing and a big a tree in the front yard. "

"I could build a club house or a tire swing for our baby."

"I could decorate the nursery-"

"And the rest of the house too," he laughed.

"Yah, I want that. I want to get married now, too."

Randy smiled and kissed the top of her head, "We will. We'll put something together. Mom would probably love to help. Where do you want to have it?"

"We can have it in St. Louis. That way both of our families and our friends will know how to get there."

"Yah, if we had it in Piedmont, everyone would be like, 'Pied-where?'" he laughed when Annie slugged him in the gut.

Annie let out a sigh as she nestled closer to him, "Randy…" she urged.

"Now?"

"Mm hmm," she nodded her head as she took a cert out of her pocket, ate it, then attacked Randy with her lips, "Right now."

"Yes, Ma'am," Randy saluted before picking her up and carrying her to the bed. "Does talking about marriage turn you on that much?"

"Not really, but you do," she smiled seductively when he laid her down onto the soft mattress. He planted kisses on her forehead, her neck, her shoulders, gradually moving downward. He marveled at her beauty. Every time he saw her naked, or made love to her, it was just as exciting as the first time.

Randy's worries about their baby, their love, and their marriage were small. His only whim was that it wasn't happening soon enough. Without another thought, Randy commenced their love making, slow and steady. They moaned simultaneously when he entered her, pumping slowly in and out. They were extra careful for the baby's sake.

Randy wouldn't allow himself to go too hard or too fast. He would keep a steady pace, teasing her with it, and tormenting himself. When they finally reached their peaks, Randy would kiss her lips, then kiss her stomach. He would roll off of her or she would roll off of him, which ever way they ended up, and they would cuddle until noon.

Laying there, her little body tightly engulfed in his firm embrace, Randy finally spoke, "Let's do it next weekend."

"Do what next weekend?"

"Get married," he squeezed her shoulders to emphasize his excitement.

Annie looked up at him, her eyes a deep shade of blue, and nodded her head, "I love you."

"I love you, too," he kissed her lips lovingly, then caught sight of the clock, "We better get up."

~~~

Rene made his way to Rose's hotel room. They had decided to stay in separate rooms and not to take things too fast. They were making love semi-frequently (everyday), but they each wanted to give the other space. Rene knew that Rose was still insecure about certain things, well everything. He could look in her eyes and still see traces of fear.

She was obviously afraid that this wasn't real or something. Rose seemed constantly paranoid that he was going to dump her at any given moment. He couldn't understand why she felt that way. Didn't she know that she was beautiful? Didn't she know how much he wanted her, day and night? How much he missed her when she wasn't there in his arms? How much he loved her?

How could she know? He hadn't directly told her that he loved her. After they had made love that first time, neither of them had uttered those three little words since. Maybe he was just waiting for the right time. He wasn't sure of the reason, but he couldn't say it. Whenever he saw her, he just couldn't say it. 'Am I afraid?' he questioned himself.

Still unsure, Rene knocked gently on Rose's door, "Are you up yet? Your test is in forty-five min-"

Rose cut him off when she opened the door, "I'm ready."

'Yes, you are,' he thought hungrily to himself. She looked professional, but sexy. Her hair was in a tight bun, she wore a sleek, sophisticated, lavender blouse, with a pair of equally attractive black slacks. Her shoes were open-toed heels, that had three small straps holding her perfect toes to the shoe. Rene looked her up and down before grabbing her by the waist and walking her backwards into her hotel room.

"Mmmmm…" he moaned as she finally gave up the struggle and kissed him back. He knew she be pissed at him later for messing up her outfit, but right now he didn't care.

"Rene," she moaned as she reached her hands up into his shirt, "I'm going to be late. I really want to get my license."

Rene swallowed hard and released her, "Okay."

Rose smiled at how good he was. He never did anything she didn't want him to…well, sex wise anyway. He would do some things that perturbed her such as opening doors for her, paying for her, and…and looking at her the way he was at that very moment. Lord, she hated that look. It always made her want to rip his clothes off and-she had better stop thinking.

Rene came toward her and tucked a stray hair behind her ear, "You ready?"

"Yup. Let me get my purse," she said with an optimistic, excited tone. She was so happy that she was going to take her driver's test today. They had been practicing again, and now the moment of truth was soon at hand.

Rene could see the anticipation in her eyes. He knew she would pass. She hadn't forgot her turn signal once in the last three weeks that they had been training. She just had to pass. He couldn't contain his own excitement as Rose walked past him, and he swatted her firmly on the ass.

She turned toward him, jaw dropped, "Why, you-"

"It was just a good luck pat!" Rene put his hands up in defense and gave an innocent smile.

Rose burst out laughing at the sight and they continued their way to the car. Rene vowed that after her lesson he was going to ravish her. His thoughts were interrupted when his cell went off.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Rene! It's Randy. Look, Annie and I want to talk to you about our wedding plans. Are you guys going to be busy tomorrow around three?"

"I don't think so, hold on though," he put his cell down and looked at a curious Rose. "Are we busy around three tomorrow?" he asked her. She shrugged and shook her head, then Rene raised his phone back to his ear, "Nope, we're free. Where do you want to meet?"

~~~

After giving Rene all the details, Randy hung up and turned to Annie, "They'll be there." He then gave a mirthful sigh.

Annie tilted her head, "What? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking that you were right about those two," he laughed. "Women and their damn intuition."

Annie laughed, "Of course I was right. Now, come here."

"Again?"

"Well, if you have a problem with that then I could catch up on my paper-"

"Are you insane? I was just curious. You're awfully…" he trailed off trying to think of the words, "hyper, lately."

"Hyper? I was thinking more along the lines of…" she leaned over and whispered a few little dirty descriptions that took immediate effect on him. She looked down at his crotch and cocked an eyebrow.

Within a blink of an eye they were naked and making love in the backseat of Randy's rental car at a deserted off-road recreation facility. Nevertheless, neither of them had ever been so thankful for tinted windows.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, so that's it. Nothing really happened in this chapter, I just wanted to give you some more Randy and Annie, and also a glimpse into the guy's heads, hence the title 'The Men.' I know Rene's didn't last that long, but he'll get more time later. Well, here we go:

Will Rose pass her driving test? Will Randy and Annie ever stop having sex long enough to do anything? Will Rene and Rose ever find the right moment to assert their love for one another? Why do Randy and Annie want to meet up with Rose and Rene to discuss their wedding?? What could they possibly have up their sleeve?

Well, you'll see if you keep reading my updates, lol. I'm out of here. Oh, and if you want to see the responses to your reviews then go to the link inside my bio. I put up a new website, as I told you once before. I hope that one is better than the last!
