"Let me go!" Jackie cried as Randy dragged her backstage and into Evolution's locker room. When he shut the door, he spun around to face her.
"What did you think you were doing, costing me my match?" he demanded furiously.
"It's not my fault. You were the one who didn't notice Charlie slipping into the ring," she stated crossly.
"You distracted me! You purposely interfered in my match!" He breathed heavily and Jackie could tell he was trying to keep his temper down...unsuccessfully.
"Don't blame me just because you can't beat him," she snapped. He glared at her angrily and she gulped.
"What did you say?" He stalked towards her slowly, backing her up against the wall.
"You know it's the truth." Her eyes stared at him defiantly, not letting him know that he was getting to her.
He looked at her intently and then gently stroked her cheek. "I miss you," he whispered softly.
She closed her eyes, not wanting to look at him, scared that she might give in. "We're over. You should go."
He acted as if he hadn't heard her. "Do you love him?"
She opened her eyes. "Who?"
"Charlie. Do you love him?" he asked seriously.
"What are you talking about?" She looked at him as if he was crazy.
"I saw you two at the restaurant. And here you are protecting him. This is not just a normal friendship," he said jealously.
Jackie could feel her face burn with anger. "Well, excuse me, but weren't you there with Stacy Kiebler?"
Randy frowned. "What does that have to do with anything?"
She couldn't believe the hypocrisy. Here he was accusing her of dating Charlie Haas when he was the one who was with Stacy.
"It has to do with everything. And don't think I didn't see you at the hotel. Please. So don't act all high and mighty and go accusing me of dating someone who for your information is taken."
"There's nothing between me and Stacy. She was dumped by Test and I had to comfort her," he explained.
"You must think I'm stupid. I know a relationship when I see one. Obviously you broke up with me so you could go date her and you just used the marriage as an excuse," she accused him.
Randy looked at her, pained at her accusation. "How can you even say that? I love you. What I had with Stacy was in the past. When I dated you, I gave you all of my heart. I was faithful. Yes, I didn't I know if it was love, but after two months, I realized that the woman I love is you. But I am starting to wonder if you had ever love me."
Jackie stared at him with tears glistening in her eyes. "You know I do. I have always loved you and still do. But I'm scared. What will happen next time? Are you going to break up with me again?"
He held her hands desperately. "There will be no next time. I promise you, nothing will tear us apart. I'm sorry. When you told me you weren't ready, I was afraid you didn't want me so I ended it before I got hurt. But I realized I was being selfish. Will you give me another chance?" He asked her hopefully.
Jackie paused, leaving him to wait anxiously for the answer. Finally she said, "I don't know. You have to get me a pretty big ring. You don't expect me to wear that little thing, do you?"
Randy had to wait for her words to sink in. Did she just say what he thought she said? "Are you saying yes? You're going to marry me?" He lifted her up enthusiastically which caused her to squeal.
"Not if you're not going to put me down," she said, laughing. Randy immediately placed on back on the ground and grinned.
"I love you Miss Randy Orton." He leaned in to kiss her. She immediately responded to the kiss.
"I love you too, and that's Miss Jackie Orton," she stated as they pulled apart.
Well this is the end of this story. Comment if you want a sequel to this. I was thinking of a third installment.
