PART THIRTY-ONE
"Sage, baby, please, no." Randy whispered.
"Please, just wake up, please." He begged looking down at her body which lay about 7cm away from the bed in the guest bedroom.
"Oh god, please let this be a dream." he whispered horsly as the tears fell.
"Sage, please, I, I, I love you." he whispered before turning about to stand up to go and get help.
"What did you say?" A female's voice questioned.
Whipping his head around he noticed Sage's eyes flutter open. "Sage." he called pinching himself to make sure it wasn't a dream.
"What did you say?" she whispered again.
"I said that I, I love you." he whispered back.
Tears started streaming down Sage's cheeks.
"Sage what's wrong?" Randy questioned pulling her into him.
"I, I, I love you too." she whispered. That's when it hit Randy, they had never said the 'L' word to each other.
Randy gave Sage a peck on the lips and then pulled away.
"You don't get away that easy." she whispered.
"Huh?" Randy questioned. "What about the.."
"Screw the bet! I love you and I want you right here, right now." Sage said while locking the door and starting to put on a little strip tease for Randy.
And well one thing lead to another.
..The next day..
Randy had a big grin on his face when he woke up the next morning. The sun was streaming in through the blinds and Sage lay beside him under the warm blankets sleeping peacefully. Rubbing her bare back he sighed in content.
As if responding to his touch Sage snuggled closer to Randy. Randy smiled and then looked at his watch.
"SHIT!" he cursed causing Sage to shoot out of her sleep clinging to the blankets.
"What?" she questioned.
"We're gunna be late for Raw." he replied.
The two hurrily got out of bed and put on their costumes. 'Maybe I should have brought my travel bag in with me.' Sage thought.
Shaking her head she ran behind Randy down the stairs and out the door. Randy jumped into the driver's seat and started the van.
Sage got in back and started to change into sweats. 'Thank god for tinted windows!' she thought. After she was dressed and Randy was at a stop light they changed places. Randy quickly got dressed as Sage drove the rest of the way to the arena.
They soon arrived at the arena and hurried off to the meeting that Randy had just remembered that they were having.
"Randy, Sage, how nice of you to FINALLY join us." Paul called as he was still filling in for Vince while he was gone.
"Sorry, just woke up." Randy shrugged. Sage just looked away twirling her hair. She was not about to get into a stare-down with Paul.
"We could tell." Chris Jericho muttered.
"Heard that asshole." Sage murmered.
"ANYWAYS, as I was saying, Trish you know what has been altered for your segment so you may leave." Paul instructed as Trish took her leave.
..fifteen minutes later..
The meeting was finally over so Sage turned and left needed to go and brush her hair, teeth, etc.
"So, did Randy get any candy last night?" Trish questioned wiggling her eyebrows.
"Trash, oops, I mean Trish, nothing happened, even though it's not any of your business, so yes the bet's still on." Sage smiled at her friend.
"Haha, you're so funny." Trish replied rolling her eyes and smacking Sage in the back of the head.
"And people wonder why I'm so messed up." Sage laughed at herself, while rubbing the back of her head.
"I still wonder." a males voice spoke.
Turning to see whom it was Sage's smile grew to a frown, "Jeff." she nodded before trying to pass him.
"Sage wait!"
"What?"
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what, for being a jackass, for almost ruining my relationship with Randy, or is it just because you feel guilty?" Sage questioned coldy.
"I'm sorry because.."
"SAVE IT JEFF! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!" Sage yelled before turning to storm off.
"Whatever, it's your own fault." he murmered.
"My fault?!?!?! MY FAULT?!?!?! JUST HOW IN THE HELL IS THIS MY FAULT?!?!" Sage questioned turning around to face Jeff, before slapping him and turning to leave once more. Jeff grabbed her arm and spun her around.
"Ya it is your fault. It's not my fault you're easy." Jeff sneered, which just earned him another slap in the face.
"You stupid son of a bitch." Sage shook her head before leaving.
"Sage what's wrong?" Hayley questioned as Sage was walking by Adam's locker room trying to keep tears and frustration at bay.
"Jeff's an asshole. That's whats wrong." Sage replied.
"Oh yea, I'm the asshole." Jeff replied rolling his eyes as he walked past.
"Ya Jeff you are." Sage replied.
"It's like I told you before you're a no good, selfish.."
"STOP!" Hayley screamed, "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU TWO FIGHTING! JUST APOLOGIZE AND BECOME FRIENDS AGAIN!" she shouted.
"Why should I?" Jeff questioned.
"Because you've been sulking around for the past few weeks like you've just lost your best friend." Hayley replied.
"It's because he did and I did too." Sage replied quietly.
"Sage if you can't foget can you atleast try to forgive?" Hayley questioned.
Sage only nodded her head.
"Sage, I really am sorry." Jeff replied.
"I know." she whispered as the two hugged.
"See, problem fixed and it only took meer minutes." Hayley replied cockily.
"Shaddup." Sage laughed.
Poking out her tounge Hayley left.
"Jeff I gotta go but, we have some major catching up to do ok?" Sage questioned.
"Yep, see ya." Jeff replied walking off with a smile on his face.
"Guess what you missed?" a males voice questioned.
"What?" Sage questioned as she turned to face Chris Jericho.
"Desserts with whipped cream, but, don't worry I saved you some." Chris smiled before pulling out a can of whipped cream from behind his back and covering Sage in it.
"Aww, Chris you shouldn't have! I'll just have to repay you!"
"Wh-why? Wh-where? H-How?" Chris questioned.
"Right here, right now, with a nice loooong hug." Sage smirked giving Chris a nice long hug. "Oh, and these were your sweats by the way." Sage smiled before going to change.
After changing she started her walk to catering. Sighing she grabbed a plate and started filling it with food. Looking around she spotted Chris Jericho and took a seat next to him.
"Hey Chris." she greeted with a half smile.
"Humhamhuhshup?"
"Huh?"
"Hey Sage what's up?" Chris tried again after swallowing his food.
"Meh, not much, be right back." Sage smiled while turning to go to another table. "Adam give me some mashed potatoes." Sage smiled. Adam nodded and grabbed and handful and placed it in Sage's hand. Smiling Sage took aim and whipped the mashed potatoes.
"What the hell?!?!" Jericho questioned in rage, "Who threw 'em?"
Everyone pointed at Sage while Sage pointed at Adam.
"That's it." Jericho seethed picking up a blob of something or other and whipped them at Sage, only she dodged them and lets say Hayley ended up with a mouthful.
"FOOD FIGHT!!" Everybody screamed.
It was at that moment that Paul entered the catering area and when Trish ducked Paul had a nice big pile of pie filling on his face.
"WHO DID IT?" he questioned as everyone ran before he knew who was there.
After that incident Raw ran pretty smoothly as did the next few days, it was now November 4th.
Paul had yet to find out who had thrown the pie filling and who had started the food fight.
'Phew.' Sage thought as she rolled over in the bed. She looked at Randy beside her and knew the perfect way to wake him up, well maybe not, I mean they had slept in really late, whatever. Sage thought as she was just confuing herself. She got on top of Randy and kissed his sleeping figure. It took him about .4 seconds to start adding to it. She pulled away and grinned at him before getting up to go and take a shower. She rolled her eyes as there was a knock at the door the second she locked it.
"Go away, I gotta shower." Sage pouted.
"I do too." Randy smirked from the other end.
"Me first!" Sage laughed.
"It's a double ended shower." Randy replied.
"Gees, Randy don't you think about anything other than sex?" Sage questioned as she opened the door.
"Let me think about that..... nope." he laughed.
"Loser." she replied before letting him in the washroom and walking out, "Well, I think about lots of things, and The OC starts its second season tonight, so if you'll excuse me." Sage smiled while turning on the t.v.
"Is that the show with Chad Michael Murray in it?" Randy questioned.
Sage stared at his as if he had two heads. "NO! CMM is on OTH not the OC!" Sage replied in girltalk as Randy would call it.
"Whatever."
"CMM is on the same channel as Charmed and GG." Sage replied.
"Oh, ok. Alyssa Milano, mmm..." Randy smiled.
"Hey." Sage replied smacking his arm. Just as the phone rang. Smiling Sage picked it up.
"Hey, hun what's wrong? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! OH MY GOD?!?! Do you need me right now? Are you sure? Okay, bye girlie I love ya, stay in touch." Sage spoke into her cell.
"Sage what's wrong?" Randy questioned.
"While we've been sleeping there's been roster cuts." Sage replied.
"What? Who?" Randy questioned.
"Billy Gunn, A-Train, Test, Chuck Palumbo, Gail Kim, Nidia, Johnny Stamboli, Rodney Mack, Jazz, Rico, and there's supposed to be one more release."
"WOW!" was Randy's only comment.
"That's three women gone! How are we supposed to have a women's division with only Amy, Trish, Lisa Marie, Nora, Christy, Stacy, Hayley and me?!?!"
"I dunno babe, Vince has gotta have a plan in doing this." Randy smiled hoping he or Sage wasn't the next one axed.
After a bit of comforting the couple settled in for the season premiere of The OC.
(After the OC)
"Wow, that was good." Sage smiled.
"It was ok." Randy replied.
Rolling her eyes Sage switched the channel and ended up watching a show called 'Life As We Know It'.
Once the show was over Sage started crawled back into bed. There was no point in trying to stay up. But, Randy had other ideas.
