It was the last day of their vacation and Jackie was packing her clothes into her bags. Ever since the incident, she and Randy hadn't spoken much…or at all frankly. She was actually starting to miss their verbal banter. She sighed and finished packing the rest of her things and put the luggage aside next to her bed. She decided to go into the kitchen to fix herself a snack. When she went there, she saw Randy sitting at the table drinking a glass of orange juice. Wordlessly, she strolled towards the fridge and opened the door. Even when facing the refrigerator she could still sense his eyes on her, which was making her awfully uncomfortable. She quickly grabbed a plate of leftover chocolate cake and headed for her room.

"I think we should break up," Randy finally spoke which made her turn around to face him.

"Why?" she asked, trying to keep herself calm.

"It's just not working out," he replied simply and took another sip of his juice.

"What do you mean 'it's not working out'? Look if it's about what happened…"

He shook his head. "No, I just don't see the point of continuing this façade."

Her brows furrowed. "You never had a problem with it before."

"Things change. When we get back, I'll just say that it was a mutual decision and that we are still friends."

"What about Stacy? I thought you wanted to be with her."

"I'll find another way," he responded.

Her face fell a little when she realized he had no intention of letting go of Stacy. She figured maybe he would… She shook her head at the thought. They could never be. Besides, she liked Test…didn't she? "Fine," she said indifferently and went to her room.

Randy watched her trudge to her room, disappointed. He had hoped that she would object to the break up.

"No we can't. I love you," she blurted out to his pleasure. However, he knew those words and thoughts only existed in his mind.

In the plane to their next Raw show, neither spoke to each other. Occasionally Randy would look at her who was constantly keeping herself preoccupied. She was either reading a magazine or looking out the window. Subconsciously she would place her hand on the handle and he would be tempted to take it in his. He wanted desperately to say something, but couldn't find the words.

Hours later they arrived and Randy got out slowly, wanting to wait for Jackie. She came out behind him and he followed her to the carousel. When her bags came, he offered to help but she declined.

"That's okay," she said and went to attain her luggage.

"Want to go get something to eat?" he asked.

She shook her head much to his disappointment. "I'm not hungry. I think I'm just going to go to the hotel and take a nap."

He nodded his head. "If you need anything, just give me a call." He could only watch as she went outside to call for a cab.

She wanted to go out with him, but couldn't. She knew if she were to talk with him, even be near him, she would break down. She knew she had fallen in love with Randy Orton. She laughed cynically. After everything that had happened, her unsuccessful attempts to gain Test's affections, it turned out Randy was the one for her. Ironic how things turn out. But he was still in love with Stacy. It seemed everyone loves her. All the guys she liked had all fallen for Stacy. But this one was different. Test was just an infatuation. Randy was love. They had actually gotten to know each other, learned each other's strengths and weaknesses, likes and pet peeves. She knew him and he knew her. He had captured her heart.
After eating his lunch alone, Randy went to the hotel where the Raw superstars are staying and headed to his room. He just sat down on his bed and when his cell rang. He picked it up and said, "Hello?"

"Randy, it's me. Can we talk?"

"Jackie?" he said excitedly then calmed himself down. "Sure. Where at?"

"Where are you right now?" she asked.

"I'm at my hotel room. Room 569."

"Okay, I'll meet you there in five minutes."

"Okay." He hung up and grinned. Was she going to tell him she wanted to be with him? He tried not to get his hopes up but couldn't help feeling anxious.

Sure enough five minutes later, there was a knock at the door and he practically ran to open it. "Hey," he greeted as he saw her standing outside holding a brown shopping bag. "Come in."

She slowly stepped inside but just stood next to the door. "This won't take long. I just wanted to give you this." She handed the bag to him.

He reached in and saw that it was the dress he bought for her. "Why are you giving me this?"

"Since we're not together anymore, I don't think it's right to keep it. And the check for the dress is inside." She was about to open the door when he grabbed her arm.

"Wait." She turned around to face him. "You just came here to give me this?"

She nodded. "What did you think I came here for?"

"I just thought you wanted to talk about us."

Her brows furrowed in confusion. "What about us?"

He raked his hand through his chestnut brown hair. "After all this time, I just want to know…do you have any feelings for me at all?"

Suddenly the room was deathly silent and she could only hear the beating of her own heart. She cast her eyes towards the floor, not daring to look up at him.

He tilted her chin up so her hazel orbs met his blue ones. "Well…do you?" he inquired.

"I…" He was looking intently at her, as if he could see through her.

He didn't need a verbal answer; the look in her eyes said everything. He smiled. "You do. You love me."

She put her hands against his chest and gently pushed him away. "We can't."

Randy frowned. "Why not?"

"Because you're in love with Stacy," she said painfully, tears filling her eyes.

He shook his head and pulled her close to him. "I thought I was, but now I know it was just infatuation."

"Then why did you say you'll find some other way to get her if you didn't love her?"

"I was scared. I didn't know how to tell you I love you. I had hoped that you would stop the breakup, but you didn't."

"So you don't love Stacy?"

He shook his head and said, "You're the one I love." He gently stroked her cheek. "I couldn't believe it took me this long to realize it."

She laughed. "You know what they say, the best things in life are worth waiting for."

"You bet they are." And with that he captured her lips with his with passionate fervor.

It took them some time but they finally realized what love really was…and that it was in front of them the whole time.

Well that's the end of my story. Hope you guys liked it and R&R!
