Chapter 3

Maria returned to the room when the sun came up and saw him lying in the same place she'd left him. She leaned against the door and crossed her arms. He looked so peaceful now and full of life. So beautiful, he had the most beautiful body she'd ever seen. She could easily fall in love with him but she knew she shouldn't. She ran her hand through her long black hair and walked over to the bed, shaking him lightly. She smiled when he opened his eyes and the side of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Do you feel better?" Maria asked.

"A little. My head's better but my ribs still hurt." Randy said, sitting up and holding his side.

"Let me change your bandages. I found some Tylenol 3 I got when I strained my wrist." She said. "Maybe you can take that."

Maria changed the bandage across his abdomen and handed him the pill and a glass of water.

"Do you need to call someone?" Maria asked. "Do you have somewhere you need to be?"

"I should call my boss." Randy said. "Is there a phone out here?"

"Yes but I'll have to take you to my grandparents main house to use it." Maria said, biting her lip.

"Will they be mad?" Randy asked.

"If they know you're a complete stranger. Yes." Maria said. "They'll tell my parents and I'll be shunned not to mention they'll kick you out on the streets."

"So we'll just tell them I'm your boyfriend from Chicago." Randy said. "I live in St. Louis it's not to far away, we see each other on weekends."

Maria laughed and helped him up. She found one of her brother's shirts from the closet from when he'd visited and handed it to him. The two walked to her grandparents house hand-in-hand and Maria entered, Randy following close behind.

"Maria quien es este persona? Who is this person?" Her grandfather asked her.

"Papa este es mi novio, si llama Randy Orton. This is my boyfriend, Randy Orton." Maria said, pointing to him. "Tu puede prestame tu telefono? Can you loan me your telephone?"

"Si. Si." Her grandmother told her.

The two stepped in the living room and Maria handed it to him along with a calling card.

"I bring extra's so I can call my friends and my job." Maria said.

Randy called some guy named Vince and Maria heard him say something about Eric opening the passenger door and trying to push him out. In doing so the plane had gone down. But now Eric had disappeared. She also heard him tell Vince he'd be on the plane back to the United States the next afternoon. She felt as if her whole world had been ripped from under her. She wiped a tear from her eye as he came into the kitchen.

"Everything okay?" Maria asked.

"Yeah. Vince hired someone to look for Eric and he got me a ticket out to San Diego tomorrow at noon." Randy said, putting his hands in his pockets. "You think you could drive me to the airport?"

"Sure." Maria said. "My grandmother wants you to stay for dinner. Then she thinks I'm taking you to a hotel in town. So we'll just stand outside until they go to sleep and then we'll go out to the guesthouse."

"Okay." He said, wrapping his arms around her waist. Maria assumed he was trying to put on a good show, especially when he bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips and then rubbed their noses together.

They spent the day walking around the grounds and talking. Maria told him about her life and her job as a writer at The Chicago Tribune. Randy told her about his life on the road and traveling. About all his failed relationships because he was never home. Maria couldn't help but think of how stupid those girls must have been. Maria would take him for a few days over none at all. She wished he wasn't leaving. She'd just met him and he seemed so perfect, so fun, so relaxed. She frowned as the sun began to go down and they made their way up to the main house for dinner.

Her grandmother made soup, tomalli's and tortilla's for the dinner and they all sat down and ate. Maria explained to her grandparents exactly what Randy had told her to say. That he was a wrestler and they'd met at an event. Her grandfather was so excited he'd watched lucha libre with her since she was a child, but always the Mexican wrestlers never American one's. He decided he'd have to start which made Randy laugh. After dinner the two walked outside the house hand in hand and stood next to the Toyota Tundra parked in the driveway along the side of the house.

"That was nice." Randy said. "Even though I had no idea what they said."

"I told you exactly what they said." Maria said. "How's your side feeling?"

"Actually I have forgotten all about it." Randy laughed. "When are you going back to Chicago?"

"Next month." Maria replied. "Back to my old boring job."

Randy laughed. "My job isn't so boring but I could definitely use a vacation from it sometimes."

"I'm glad you like your job. We all should be so lucky." Maria said, looking down at his hand as it still held onto hers.

"Maybe we could still see each other when you get back." Randy said, looking in her eyes. "The last couple days have been fun."

"Fun?" Maria asked. "I wouldn't call them fun but I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Hopefully next time you won't have to injure yourself to get a vacation."

Randy laughed and ignored the fact that she didn't answer his question. He leaned over slightly and kissed her on the lips. At first it was ever so soft and sweet then it turned to a kiss full of passion and hunger. Randy cut off the kiss and pulled her toward the guesthouse out back, opening the door and closing it just before pushing her up against it. He against captured her lips and let his tongue enter her mouth. Maria moaned as his hand rested on her hip and moved up over her rib cage toward her cloth-covered breasts. Randy quickly pulled the shirt over her head and his over his own and walked them toward the small bedroom. He removed the rest of their clothes and lay her down on the bed.

"Are you sure this won't hurt you.." Maria began, only to be cut off by his lips.

"This is going to do everything but hurt me." Randy laughed, kissing down her neck and capturing a rose-colored nipple into his mouth.

Maria let her hand rest on her head as his tongue munipilated her body. Her breasts, her stomach before moving lower to her center. She grabbed a handful of his hair as he let his tongue enter her warm entrance and his thumb came up to tease her numb. Just as she was about to cum he moved back up her body and let his erection rub against her entrance. He kissed her and massaged her hips as he began to enter her, moving in and out repeatedly until he was fully in her. Maria felt so full, like she couldn't breathe. She'd never felt so alive and fulfilled before. She could feel the tears escape her as he began to move in and out of her. It didn't hurt but she felt all the emotion and all the pleasure bursting through her at once. She didn't know it was possible to feel this way until now. She let her nails dig into his back lightly as he let his hands slip under her bottom to pick her up slightly off the bed, allowing better access to her.

"Let it go Maria." He whispered, kissing her again.

Maria couldn't hold back anymore it was all just too much, she let the wave of pleasure overcome her and could see white lights behind her eyelids. She moaned as she felt Randy's erection swell inside of her and felt the strange wetness spill into her, filling her even fuller. She whimpered slightly when he withdrew from her and pulled her to him. Maria let her head fall on his chest and heard his breathing even. She knew at that moment she loved him. How would she ever be able to say goodbye to him when morning came?
