Love & Tribulations – Chapter 30
LATER – AT CJ & RANDY'S APARTMENT
"You're pretty pleased with yourself aren't you?" Randy asked a smug Cj as they entered the apartment
"Yeah I am. Now I just need to get Mark and Faith back together and my work is done"
"Meddling Girl to the rescue" Randy said sarcastically slapping Cj's ass
"Hey" she said spinning round and playfully punching Randy "You just can't handle being wrong"
"I'm wrong?"
"I'm glad you can admit that" said Cj with a smile
"I'm not wrong"
"You said I don't help and I do. Deny that"
"I can't deny it you did a good thing"
"Oh my God are you praising my meddlesomeness?"
"That's not a word"
Cj laughed and wrapped her arms around Randy's neck and pulled him in for a kiss. Randy started to sway Cj from side to side the couple then started to dance unaided by music.
"What are you doing?"
"Dancing"
"There's no music" said Cj giving him a queer look
"Baby there's always music when I'm with you"
Cj smiled "Aww that's so sweet"
"Usually those ones you hear in horror flicks during the chase scenes when you know the victims running out of time"
"Nice, thanks" said Cj pulling away from Randy
Randy laughed "I'm kidding. I'm happy we're back together"
"Me too"
"To think not long ago we were a secret couple with no problems"
"And now we're a couple of idiots"
"Hey I'm serious"
"So am I"
"I guess we have been stupid"
"You think?"
"It's different now though. I'm not going to lose you again"
"Good because I couldn't bear it again"
"So you don't wanna lose me?"
"Nope never"
"So you'd be prepared to marry me?"
Cj saw the sincerity in his eyes and pulled away "Are you kidding?"
"No, I mean it Cj I don't want to lose you again"
"So you wanna get married?"
"Yeah I want the whole world to know that we've had our problems and have come through it stronger than ever"
"This is crazy" said Cj turning away and rubbing her head in disbelief
"I tried the romantic proposal and it got us nowhere so let's try the spontaneous and completely appropriate proposal that can't be considered as an apology or a band-aid" Randy walked up behind Cj and pulled her hand away from her head and circled her body resting his head on her shoulder. "I love you and if that's not enough I don't know what is"
"Randy this is…"
"Memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water coloured memories
Of the way we were"
"What you're guna torture me into it?"
Randy squeezed Cj "Don't be cheeky. I was being romantic"
"Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford don't end up together in that movie"
"They don't?"
"No"
"Oh well I've never seen it. Why do you like it then?" said Randy changing the subject completely.
Cj pivoted to face Randy "Because it doesn't sugar coat love. It tells it as it is. It doesn't give false hopes. It's straight with you and tells you that sometimes things don't work out"
"Right" said a puzzled Randy
"But sometimes they do and they're almost every bit the Fairytale"
Randy smiled "Almost?"
"I wouldn't call us a Fairytale would you?"
"No but we're going to work out right?"
"Only if you still have that amazing ring"
"I still got it"
"Then I think we're guna work out"
Randy pulled Cj in close and planted his lips firmly on hers and kissed her like he never had before.
AT A CLUB DOWN TOWN
Khristina and Sean were sat at the bar talking.
"Khris I think we should just leave it. I mean who's to say that even if we did split them up she'd want to be with me"
"I can't believe you're giving up like this"
"Khris I'm not giving up I'm not interested anymore"
"Why?"
"Because I like somebody else"
"Oh yeah who?"
"Hi" said Dave interrupting the conversation to Sean's delight.
"Well hello" said Khristina smiling at the handsome Adonis before her.
"What are you doing here?" asked Sean
"I rented an apartment here after I got kicked out and I haven't looked for anywhere else since"
"You're living here?" asked Khristina
"Yeah for now"
"Well that's great"
Later…
The night progressed and while Sean was at the bathroom Khristina and Dave decided to get to know each other a little better.
"So what's the deal with you and Sean you seem inseparable"
"Oh he's just a friend"
"Really? Is there anybody who's more than a friend?"
"Not at the moment but I am looking"
"Me too"
"Interesting"
"How about we get out of here?" said Dave getting right to the point
"I'll meet you outside I've just got to go and find Sean"
Dave left and Khristina made her way through the crowds to find Sean. Sean was on his way back from the bathroom and spotted Khristina among the mass he pushed through and grabbed her arm.
"Hey where are you going?"
"I'm looking for you"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah me and Dave are leaving"
"Oh I'll come with you"
"No hunnie not tonight we're leaving together"
"You and him?"
"Yeah do you have a problem with that?"
"He's not your type"
"And what is my type?"
"I thought it was me"
"Aww poor Sean you're feeling neglected. We were just keeping each other company until Cj turned to you for comfort but now you've found another girl you can go for it with her"
"Not when she's leaving with another man" Sean snarled angrily
Khristina realised the girl Sean had found to replace Cj was her "Oh please tell me this isn't happening?" she rudely replied
"Khris a lot of people would call me crazy but it's never felt more right. I like you and if you're willing to give it a go I'd really like to be with you"
"Oh my God you sound like a sloppy romantic movie" she said trying to laugh off the moment
"Khristina don't jerk me around I'm not them. This is me Sean I know you better than anyone else"
"If that's true then you know this lovey dovey crap isn't for me. Now I have to go Dave's waiting for me outside" Khristina walked away from Sean.
"Khristina!" he called after her but she didn't turn around.
Khristina finally made her way through the crowds and got outside where Dave was leant against a taxi. Khristina smiled at Dave as she approached him.
"You ready to go" said an anxious Dave
"Oh yeah I'm always ready to go"
Dave opened the door for Khristina and she slid in "That's nice to know" he said sliding in next to her.
The taxi drove away and Sean burst through the door in time to watch the taxi turning the corner.
"Khristina!" he screamed up the street as Khristina left with Dave.
AT DAVE'S APARTMENT
Khristina walked into the apartment and looked around nodding her head approvingly.
"It's nice"
"Thank you"
"It's a big place for just one person"
"I'm a big guy" he said stepping behind Khristina and removing her coat.
"Now that's nice to know" she said smiling.
Dave hung up her coat and returned to her he began to kiss her neck as he slowly moved her dress straps down over her shoulders. The dress slipped down to reveal a sexy black teddy.
"Were you expecting me?" asked Dave admiring Khristina's beautiful appearance.
"Not at all"
Dave scooped Khristina up into his masculine arms and walked her into the bedroom he laid her down on the bed and cast his huge physique on top of her. He dipped in and started to kiss her. Khristina reciprocated and pulled on Dave's shirt breaking their kiss for mere seconds while she pulled the shirt over his head. As their kiss continued Khristina's hands explored Dave's body her fingertips ran over his perfectly defined abdomen and back up his strong shoulders. Dave pulled away from Khristina's lips and slowly moved down to her heavy cleavage which was bulging out of her teddy. He kissed her soft skin and moved his right hand up her thigh as Khristina melted to Dave's tender touch she closed her eyes and indulged suddenly raunchy thoughts ran through her head which excited her more until a clear view of Sean's face entered her head she jumped out of the deep thought causing Dave to stop his seduction.
"Are you ok?" he asked
A terrified Khristina sat up and crawled off the bed "No, no I'm not" she said hurrying into the other room to collect her dress. She slipped into her dress as Dave followed her into the room.
"Where are you going?"
"I just remembered I have to go home for something"
"Oh really?" asked a disappointed Dave realising he was getting the cold shoulder.
"Yeah I'm so sorry" said Khristina urgently running out of the apartment and to the end of the corridor.
As she turned out of sight she stopped running and breathless she leant against the wall. Khristina brushed her hair out of her face as she tried to catch her breath. She finally regained her composure and called for the elevator.
Later…
Khristina opened the door to her apartment to see Sean pacing in the middle of the room.
"Hey you're back"
"Yeah"
"What happened?"
"Nothing, absolutely nothing and do you wanna know why nothing happened?...Because of you"
"What did I do?"
"You got in my head with all that lovey dovey crap. I'm there with him and he's unbelievably gorgeous and sexy and he wanted me and all I could think about was you. Why did you have to go and say you liked me?"
"I was only telling you how I felt Khris"
"Yeah I know but you can't feel that way" screamed Khristina
"Why not?!" Sean screamed back
"Because as long as you were just my friend I didn't have to admit how I felt" Khristina admitted whilst sitting down and cupping her head.
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"I like you ok I…Like…You" she said standing up in front of Sean looking up into his warming blue eyes.
Sean smiled and pulled Khristina into his arms. "Don't worry I don't think any less of you for admitting this"
Khristina playfully punched Sean as he gripped her tighter "Don't make a big deal of this ok?"
"Ok" Sean agreed smiling as he pulled back Khristina's head and kissed her on the lips.
The couple parted and Khristina rested her head on Sean's chest for s split second before taking his hand and walking him into the bedroom.
THE NEXT DAY
Cj held her left hand up and watched her diamond sparkling in the light and smiled. She rolled over onto her side and rested her left hand on a sleeping Randy's chest and continued to smile. She started to rhythmically tap her fingers on his chest drawing him out of his slumber he looked down and watched Cj tapping her fingers on his chest and then turned to his left and looked down at an overjoyed Cj.
"So you like it then?" he asked smiling at Cj
"I love it" she said holding it up to the light again and watching happily as it sparkled.
Randy reached up entwined his fingers in Cj's and rolled her onto her back.
"You've gotta work for that you know" he said kissing her repeatedly on the mouth.
"Oh really?" said Cj using her free hand to rub Randy's hair before gliding her hand down his face.
"Yeah…now go get me some coffee"
"Hey!"
"Alright I'll go get my own" he said breaking his hold on Cj's hand and walking out of the room.
Cj sat up on the edge of the bed and looked around for her bra which she found hanging on the lamp on Randy's side of the bed she put on her bra whilst looking for her panties finally spotting them on the ceiling fan she smiled and walked into her closet and retrieved a pair of hot pants she put on the pants and walked into the kitchen to see a naked Randy putting some coffee on. He noticed Cj and turned and smiled at her.
"Guess where my panties are" said Cj
Randy finished putting the coffee on and walked over to Cj all the way giving her a puzzled look.
"Is this a kinky trick question?" he asked
"Nope"
"Ok err…in your panty drawer?"
"Well yeah but no" she smiled
"Around your ass?"
"Nope"
"I'm guna stop playing this game with you"
Cj laughed "On the ceiling fan"
Randy smiled "Seriously?"
"Go look if ya don't believe me"
"I don't believe ya" he said walking to the bedroom. Seconds later he walked back out and returned to where he was before. "I believe ya"
Cj laughed as Randy turned to pour the coffee.
"Hey" she said wanting Randy to notice her.
"What?" he said turning round and carrying a cup of coffee over to Cj as he sipped on his own.
"I want to be Mrs Randy Orton"
"Good because that ring has a no backing out clause"
"I'm not backing out…now don't freak out when I say this but I'd really like to be Mrs Randy Orton by the New Year"
"But that's less than a month away. What are you suicidal?"
"A lot of people are going to be asking me that when we tell them we're engaged" Cj sarcastically insulted Randy
"Hey I'll take the ring back"
"Nah nah nah I'm just playing" she said kissing Randy
"The New Year hah?"
"Yeah"
"Even if we were able to pull it off at such short notice. How are you possibly going to pull the guests together by then? I mean you'll want Faith there and you can't leave her out but Mark's your brother" Cj sighed "I just want the day to be perfect for you" said Randy taking Cj's hand in his.
"It was just an idea I had. It doesn't matter it would have been nice but…never mind. Ok I'm guna get showered and go show everyone my huge rock" Cj kissed Randy on the lips and walked away into the bathroom.
Later – At Dogma's House
A very happy Nikki and an ecstatic Cj arrived at Dogma's house.
Knock Knock!!
An uncharacteristic Dogma opened the door to the sisters and they all walked into the front room where a dismal Faith was sat.
"Hey sweetie" said Nikki sitting down next to Faith
"How are you?" asked Cj
"I'm fine I just wish everyone would stop asking me that"
"We're just concerned about you"
"Yeah well don't be because I'm fine" said Faith getting up and walking away.
Nikki jumped up and followed her and Cj stood up ready to set off when she noticed an uncharacteristic Dogma unhappy on the end of the couch. Cj walked over to him and put her arm around him.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked pretty sure she knew the answer
"I think me and Jeff are breaking up"
"What? No you're solid"
"No we're not. He doesn't want to leave Cameron"
"Oh"
"I knew when he came to New York it wasn't permanent but I thought by the time it came to his departure he'd change his mind but he didn't he left. I know its guna be hard for him to leave his family and friends because it would be hard for me too but can you imagine me in North Carolina?"
"No I can't but I have a feeling it would be some good comedy"
Dogma cracked a smile for his friend and sighed before continuing "Jeff's a singer, wrestler, artist and whatever else he decides to do but I don't see how any of that anchors him down in Cameron. He's guna be travelling for the wrestling and when he's travelling I'm going to be sat alone in Cameron. I love him I do but I don't see why I should have to give up my life to move to Cameron when his is so flexible"
"Have you told him this?"
"No I didn't want to sound selfish he said we'd talk about it when he came back"
"Dog I wish I could help but this is something you and Jeff need to talk about and see what the best thing to do is"
"If Randy wanted you to move to St Louis would you?"
"No but Randy's on the road most of the time and he knows it's not fair to move me away from everything I know and then leave me behind"
"But he's leaving everything behind for you"
"He's left St Louis before and he did fine but me I've never left New York and have no intention of doing so. Plus New York is fabulous why wouldn't anyone want to move here?"
"I don't know I'll ask Jeff the next time we talk"
Cj let out a little laugh "Sorry"
"Don't be why should you be miserable just because I am? It's nice to see you smiling again"
"You and Jeff will work things out"
"I hope so"
"Come on lets go help Nikki with Faith" Cj stood up and took Dogma's hand in hers and pulled him in the direction of the kitchen.
"Why are you wearing those gloves? It's not that cold in here is it?"
"Oh I didn't even notice them. I don't know why I haven't taken them off" she lied she hadn't taken them off because she felt awful about the ring on her finger. How could she break the news that she and Randy were engaged when her two friends were so upset about their relationships?
"Well take them off for God sake I'm sweating at the thought of it" said Dogma walking into the kitchen
"Ok" said Cj as she pushed off her left glove pushing her ring off inside the glove so that no one saw it. Cj smiled at Dogma as she pulled the right one off and followed him into the kitchen.
