PART TWENTY-THREE
About forty-five minutes later Sage was extremely frustrated.
"The last room. Room 424." Sage huffed out of breath. Sage stuck the key card into the lock and pulled it out. It was just as she thought, She opened the door and walked into a rather cute but, simple hotel room. Dropping her bags on the floor she searched for a clue in the main room, and she found it, right on the coffee table. 'Ah, you're a smart one!! Now, go into the bedroom, put on what I have laid out on the bed and come find me at 424 Mercer St. I'll be the one in the pink shirt.' Sage stuffed the final clue in her bag with all the others and then proceeded into the bedroom. Just as the clue stated there was an outfit on the bed. It consisted of a black fishnet top, which had a hot pink tube top that said 24 on it in the middleto wear underneath. It also had the black skin tight pants that Sage had borrowed from Trish a while back. To top off the out fit there was black high-heeled boots. Sage took a quick shower without wetting her hair. She put on the outfit and then gave her hair waves using a curling iron which only took ten minutes. She quickly applied her make-up grabbed her purse, key card, pleather coat, car keys, and headed out the door. Using a map Sage found 424 Mercer. She read the sign aloud. "Club O" Sage got out of the car, locked it and placed her keys in her purse. Sage walked up the the front door and there was no one there but the bouncer.
"I.D please." The man said. Sage took out her driver's licence showed the man as he nodded and let her in. Quiet enough so that Sage couldn't here he whispered "She's here." into the walkie talkie he had been hiding. Sage made her way in and noticed that the lights were off. She quickly flicked them on and was greeted by a very loud suprise by every superstar on the WWE Raw roster. Sage soon found herself engulfed in a hug by Amy. "Happy 24th Birthday girl." Amy smiled pulling away. Sage looked at Amy's top and smiled.
"So you planned this?" she questioned.
"Yup, guilty as charged." Amy laughed.
"You're lucky I figured the first one out. I mean I was ready to give up on it." Sage smiled, still talking to Amy. She then felt a pair of hands go around her eyes and someone say,
"Guess who."
"Jeff what are you doing?" Sage laughed as she turned around and hugged Jeff.
"Nothing, happy birthday sweets." Jeff stated giving Sage a peck on the cheek.
"Thanks." Sage smiled as Jeff was pushed out of the way and she was hugged by several other superstars. Sage soon noticed that one person was missing. "Where's Randy?" Sage asked Amy.
"Not sure." Amy shrugged walking off towards the stage. Sage noticed Hayley off to the side so she went to see her.
"How ya doin'?" Sage asked.
"I'm ok, I mean I will be ok, I guess." Hayley stated meekly.
"Hayz, after this is over how about you and me go talk to Vince about some time off and maybe we can go and visit some old friends or something?" Sage suggested to her broken hearted friend. Sage got no reply from Hayley so she sighed and got up going to socialize hoping to have a better result next time. She knew that when Hayley got like this she need some space and some time. All of a sudden the lights were turned off and a glow came from the door beside Sage. Out came Randy holding a birthday cake with twenty-four candles. Sage smiled as Randy walked up to her, "I was wondering where you were."
Everyone then started singing the happy birthday song. When they were done Sage held back her hair and leaned in blowing out the candles. Everyone ate cake and then they opened present's. Sage had gotten anything and everything, from clothing like shirts and pants, to bikini's, and thongs, to a cell phone, money, jewlery, C.D's, a discman, an MP3 player, a new top of the line laptop, and from Vince MacMahon a slight raise and a first match on Raw. The gift from Vince was wonderful, but, Sage had to say that the one's from Randy were wonderful. He had gotten her a silver bracelet with 'Sage & Randy, Aug. 31st 2004' engraved in it. August 31st. The day, or to be more specific the morning they became boyfriend and girlfriend. As well as a certain Mr. Jeff Hardy's birthday. Randy had also gotten her a few other things but, there us no need to list them at this specific moment in time. After seeing Sage open all of her gifts Amy was on the stage tapping the mic to make sure it worked.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen the main event has arrived." Amy joked pulling a sheet off a table to reveal to hats, one pink and one blue. "We are going to be playing a little game. In the pink hat is the name of every girl in here and the blue has every guys name. Sage will pull one name out of each hat and those two people with be eachother's dates for the evening. So Sage get your butt up here and start drawing." Amy laughed as Sage made her way to the stage.
"Hey guys." Sage greeted as she stuck her hand in the pink hat. Amy whispered something into Sage's ear. "Oh Amy has just informed me that since there is not enough girls here some superstars wives have been invited to join us and that wasen't even enough so three guys names were put in the girls hat and there will still be leftovers and for those of you I'm sorry but, you're out of luck." Sage had just pulled out two names. "Okay first we have Nidia, and Shelton. Lisa Marie and Dave Batista, Marissa and Steven, Amy and Jericho, myself and Jeff Hardy, Gail and Chris Benoit, Steph and Tyson, Ivory and Glen, Val and William, Jazz and Chris Nowinski, Rob and Sylvan, Molly and Maven, Trish and Jay, Stacy and Randy, Jessica (jericho's wife) and Rhyno, Denise (jay's wife) and Paul, Ric and Shane Helms, Crystal (Shannon's wife) and Rodney, and last but, not least we have Hayley, and ....Adam." Sage said and as soon as she said Adam she looked at Hayley whom seemed to be glaring at Adam. Each superstar went to collect their date. Jeff got up and led Sage to the bar. Adam went to go and sit next to Hayley but noticed that she was pissed.
"Hayley what's wrong?" Adam questioned concern evident in his voice.
"What's wrong?? You wanna know why I'm upset?" Hayley questioned.
"Yea." Adam said nodding.
"Because of YOU!! BECAUSE YOU ARE A NO GOOD SELFISH LYING ASSHOLE!" Hayley screamed, " I know about Sage." she said in a much quieter tone. With that Hayley ran out of the club without letting Adam give her his side of the story.
It had been a week since Sage's birthday and no one had heard from Hayley. Sage picked up the phone and dialed Hayley's cell for literally the 70th time that day. After four rings the voice mail picked up. Frustrated Sage threw her phone at the wall, luckily for Sage she had bad aim and it hit Randy (whom was sitting across from her half asleep) and fell onto his lap. Sage just sat there slipping off into her own little world. She was brought out of it when she heard a beep. Opening her eyes she looked around for the source of the noise. Then she heard another beep and realized that it was her cell phone. She picked it up and read the screen it said, 'You have 2 new messages.' Sage knew only one was new. The first one was a call from Adam the night Hayley left. Sage couldn't get herself to listen to it she knew he would blame her. But, on the phone she had you could only delete messages after listening to them. She chose the second message and listened to it half heartedly. She didn't know the number.
Sage had closed her eyes when he started to listen to the message but, they popped open as soon as she heard who it was. When the message was over Sage turned off her cell and went to wake Randy.
"Randy, hun wake up." Sage cooed while shaking him. "Fine, I guess I'll have to do it the hard way." Sage said leaving the hotel with her key card and ice bucket in hand. She quickly found the ice machine that also had an ice water button. Sage filled the ice bucket and walked back to her hotel room and slipping in quietly. Randy was still asleep on the bed in a sitting position so she lifed the sheets off of him and dumped the entire bucket of ice water on his lap. Randy shot out of the bed with a start.
"WHAT THE HELL?!?!?" Randy exclaimed looking for the culprit. He finally noticed Sage with a little smirk on her face, "YOU DID THIS??" he questioned.
Sage nodded before explaining. "You're mom called me......
