Thanks for the reviews I got for the past chapter…each one counts…quoting P. Diddy, "Review or Die" --- I obviously twisted it…LOL…Well, all your reviews definitely made my day. Thanks! miss-ed606
Note: Dear lord…I am going to piss in my pants…well, I am currently wearing a skirt, but who cares? You get the point. I just woke up and I got this dream where…never mind…this chapter will be entitled "The Dream" because I came up with it due to this dream I had about the story. I hope you will all enjoy this chapter because I stayed up till 5 am trying to figure out a plot for the next chapter… and I must tell you, not meaning to brag and all, but I am quite proud of myself. I should give myself a pat on the back. LOL. I literally stayed up till around 5:23…I remember, because I only closed my eyes at around that time. And my alarm clock is the one with numbers, no hands. I am placing some major heat in this chapter. I hope you all enjoy it. Oh yeah…there's a song in this chapstick…by the way…fake destinations and fake scheds…I'll be twisting the whole story around…but trust me…it won't hurt anything.
Chapter Three
Gabrielle's POV:
Well, I guess I should consider myself somewhat lucky. During the plane ride to Richmond, Virginia, I got to know Amy more. She was really nice and she wasn't too caught up in the hype like everyone else was. She just wanted to let all her rage out on Trish. I wouldn't argue with her there. I wanted the same.
The Women's title didn't matter much to me at the moment. I just wanted to find myself and the identity I seemed to have lost while I was letting Randy baby me around like I was his little sister. I won't deny it, I did love all the attention. I still remember one time where he cancelled a date with Stacy just to stay by me since I was sick and all. It was really sweet of him to do that for me. But sometimes, people just have to know their limits.
And it seems that Randy hasn't registered that thought in his head yet. And what a pretty head it is.
Right now, Amy and I were sharing earphones on a disk man and were both singing to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
"Turn the lights out!" I sang as Amy did it with me. We wanted to laugh, but we didn't since the best part was just about to come.
"Hello, hello, hello, hello…" Amy and I continued as the notes started to sink…then we shouted out the next words as we unconsciously startled some other wrestlers awake.
With one open ear, I heard Trish babbling her mouth out about how she needed the rest to retain her beautiful face.
"It's not like anyone can see it!" I shouted out as I high fived Amy as we both laughed hysterically.
Fifteen minutes and some seriously bad singing later, Amy and I noticed the seat belt light "ting" on. We put on our seat belts, took some gum and started to chew it. About the gum, they say that when the plane or vehicle ascends or descends from a somewhat heightened or deep place, your ears start to click, and to prevent that from happening, you gotta chew some gum.
To my dismay, I didn't exactly chew gum, I got jellybeans instead. With that, my ears started to click like mad.
"Dammit." I cursed aloud…but it seems that Amy couldn't hear me through the clicking going on.
As we finally got down to the airport, I came out of the plane with both Jericho and Shelton on my sides as they helped me down. Everyone knew how alto phobic I was and how I hated heights, even though I was fond of flying off the top turnbuckle during matches. The only thing you'd ever catch me doing during a flight is listening to music and talking. I'd never stand up on a plane.
As we got down, finally, on the cemented plane grounds, I shook my head and didn't look back at the plane. I thanked Chris and Shelton as they made their way to sign a few autographs for the fans that waited at the foot of the plane. Amy did the same and I decided to do it too.
As we finally got out of the airport, an hour later, Amy, Victoria, Christy, Maria, Candace, Nidia, Stacy and I found a limo waiting for us. As for being the youngest, I ran to the limo and jumped in excitedly.
Stacy, who was the last one to enter, didn't seem to have closed the door.
"Stacy, aren't you gonna close the door?" I asked as I started reading all the wine bottles.
"Oh, I'm waiting for someone." Stacy said as Amy rolled her eyes and laughed to herself.
"I'll see you guys at the hotel. I'm gonna catch a ride with Stacy and the girls." Oh no. Shit. Shit. Shit. And double shit.
Stacy moved down as Christy moved over to sit beside me.
"Hey sweetie." Stacy said as Randy entered the limo and closed the door.
I quickly grabbed a wine bottle and covered my eyes.
"Hey Stace." He said as he kissed her
"Gabi, what's the name of the hotel again?" Stacy asked as I slowly put down the bottle…my cover was blown.
"The New World Virginia Suites." I replied as I looked at anything but Stacy and Randy
Randy's POV:
I wasn't mad, angry or grouchy at all when I saw Gabrielle sitting all the way across the limo. I just somehow felt a huge rock on my shoulder. I felt as if, I had broken a promise, and that I have not done my job as someone for Gabrielle to look up to. I felt troubled.
She never got mad at me before and I was practically crushed when she got mad at me. I didn't know how to make it up to her, but I knew I wanted to.
It's just that something inside of me was even more crushed when the girls started talking about "the latest gossip" everyone was talking about on the plane.
End of POV
Gabrielle's POV:
I was in even bigger shit when Victoria opened her mouth.
"Gabrielle, so tell me, is it true?" Victoria asked as a short silence was broken
"What?" I asked looking at her as I wondered why
"I mean, with you and Edge." Victoria said as I saw Randy mouth to Stacy "did you know?" as Stacy shook her head.
"What about it?" I asked as I crossed my legs
"I mean, hello, Gabi! You were like the only topic on Edge's mind during the plane ride. Even if I covered my ears, the man wouldn't shut up." Victoria said as Nidia nodded in agreement
"You mean Edge actually likes you? How's that possible, he's never liked or been with anyone for three freakin' years." Amy said putting down her earphones to join the conversation
"Amy, I was seated right across Edge and when Victoria plugged her ears, he still didn't shut up." Christy said as she turned from Lita to me.
"You guys are lying. He would never do that." I said as I rolled my eyes and laughed to myself at how impossible that situation would be.
"No. I'm serious, Gabi, the man is nuts…well not really nuts, but kind of acting like a five year-old boy with a new puppy. And trust me, he loves his puppy." Victoria said as Candace and Maria looked at each other in shock.
"You're joking!" Candace and Maria said in chorus
"No offense, but that's kind of a late reaction there." I said to both of them as they smiled madly
"So come on, tell us, what happened? All he mentioned, aside from "she's the sweetest" blah, blah, blah and shit, he said that it was at the hotel. What happened? We'll die if you won't tell us!" Christy said
Before saying another word, I decided to piss Randy off, which was generally my initial plan, so, I made up a few things and twisted a few things, hoping Randy would get the other standpoint. Just for fun.
"Well, all I did was enter his room. After that, a little tête-à-tête and little more tête-à-tête, and I guess my visit kicked off a little better than I expected. Let's just say I got more than I bargained for." I said as I smiled and saw all the girls, even Stacy, giggling madly
I had no idea, what Randy felt now, but I do know, his face already told a lot.
"Randy, are you okay? You look constipated." I said as I smirked
"Oh. I'm---I'm okay. I was just thinking of something." He replied as he stuttered quite a bit
"Were you thinking of how you would beat up Edge again?" I said sarcastically
"First of all, you shouldn't be within a fifty foot radius of him." Randy said
"Listen, didn't I tell you not to interfere with MY life?" I said as I emphasized the word "MY".
"I'm not interfering; I'm just looking out for you." He replied right back
"Yeah, by manipulating me!" I said angrily in a way
"I'm not manipulating you, I'm looking out for you." He said as he tried clarifying it.
At that moment, I am glad to have managed to have ignored that statement. But within two seconds, the words "I'm looking out for you" start to sink into me.
Gabrielle, once you let him "look out for you" what more of your life is left for you to enjoy? This was the response of my pessimistic side, telling me to say something, and quick.
I ignored it.
I was under some intense pressure, both emotionally and mentally. This was something I didn't need right now. But one thing came to mind, and trust me, it was a brilliant idea.
If you're all wondering, the last portion of my conversation with Edge consisted with him asking me out to make up for anything he must've done. Well, that's where the problem lies, he didn't do anything. It was all Randy, all the time. I know Edge wouldn't force me to try the cigarette, I forced myself to take it. I remember him trying to warn me not to drink the contents of the bottle I held, but I was too caught up in the moment that I didn't listen. It was partially my fault. As I was about to say no, I remembered Randy. He was practically manipulating me, so I said yes.
I wasn't doing this to make Randy jealous and leave Stacy for lil' old me. I was doing this to prove a point, I was doing this because I want Randy to see the error of his ways. I just hope it works that way. Not otherwise.
I don't want him completely out of my life, I just want him to respect my decisions, hoping that's how our relationship will turn out. As friends, that is. Even though I have been longing for a relationship that will exceed friendship, Stacy's my friend, I want the best for her and she seems happy.
What am I kidding? I can't stand it. I can't stand Randy being with anyone else. Sure, I'll admit it now, but it will never get out. If ever it does, then my life is literally flushed.
There's this burning passion inside of me, and the more I hide it, the fire grows. The more painful it gets to admit to the mirror that I am keeping the truth from myself.
The veiled passion is tolerable for now, but I don't know how much longer this can last. It hurts, but I know it'll all be worth it in the end…I hope.
Alright, tonight, my nerves were acting up on me. I started shaking slightly and my hands went cold. I was pacing back and forth on the living room rug as Amy came out with a towel on her hair and a robe on.
"You seem anxious about something." She said as she opened the closet and scanned her outfits.
"Gabi?" She asked as nothing came out of my mouth. I just paced and paced and paced.
Lita then walked over to me with a brush in her hand and stopped me from pacing.
"What is wrong with you? You've been pacing for an hour." She said as she tried to get me to look at her since my eyes started wandering around the room nervously
"Let's talk about this." She said leading me to the bed.
I sat on the bed as she sat beside me and took the towel off her head and combed her hair.
"What's wrong? You've been pacing around for --- wait, does this have to do with your date with Adam later?" Lita asked me as she stopped combing her hair
"Well, no…I mean, yeah…uh-no---I think so----I dunno---I guess---" I said too quickly that Lita shoved a pillow on my face
"Cool down. Just answer me calmly and tell me why you have been, literally, cutting the rug." Lita said as she placed a hand on my shoulder
"Alright, it is about the date. I'm only used to Adam as a friend and that's as far as it gets, but at the same time Christy called and told me that Stacy and Randy would be going to the same club. Amy!!!" I whined as I fiddled with my fingers
"Firstly, before we skip anything, I need to know what happened between you and Randy." Lita said as she resumed combing her hair
"Well, I think, seriously Randy's been manipulating me. He's been to overprotective and I want to prove to him that I can make decisions on my own and that I do things my way, my time. And he just seems to have not gotten the message yet."
"So, tell me, is that the reason you're going out with Adam? Just so you can make Randy jealous?" She asked
"No, not the jealousy. I'm after trying to prove to Randy that I can do things on my own and that I do what I want, when I want. Get it?" I said
"And make him jealous?" She said
"Yeah." I said, after realizing what she asked me, "Hey!" I said as I crossed my arms
"Face it; I know you've been crushing on Randy for some time now." Lita said as she continued combing her hair
"How did you know?" I asked Lita wondering how in the hell she got that info
"Just think of me as a mind-reader." Lita said raising an eyebrow
I half-smiled and stood up from the bed, "So sorry, this conversation won't be able to last any longer. I have to get ready for the date." I said glumly as I walked over to the bathroom
"Wish you luck!" Lita shouted out
"Thanks, I'll need it." I returned as I closed the bathroom door
I was now dressed in a black transparent turtle neck long-sleeved top and had a black tube inside; along with a black school girl mini skirt and stiletto boots that reach six inches under the knee.
As I came out of the bathroom, Lita looked over and saw me.
Her reaction looked like it read: Are you nuts? But what she said was different
"Gabi, you look gorgeous!" She said as the doorbell rang
"Wish me luck." I said as I inhaled deeply
I opened the door and as Adam looked at me, he just stared.
"Do I really look that bad?" I asked thinking that that might have been what he saw
"No. You're gorgeous. I love what you're wearing." He said as he looked me up and down
Silence
"Oh. I'm sorry, I just got a bit carried away." Adam apologized as he motioned for me to exit.
"Amy, I'll see you in a few hours." I called out
"Cool, have fun, Gabi!" She replied
"Bye Amy," Adam greeted as he closed the door for me.
It was pure and absolute silence on our way to the club. The club was named Sinfuego, which means "no fire" in Spanish. It was a semi-formal club and it was a high-end one too.
I have never actually seen Adam in something as formal as this before. He wore Armani and smelled like a male model. I know how a male model smells like, since my cousin is one, and before Stacy really went serious with Randy, she's been chasing my cousin like mad. It's a good thing she never got with him in the first place, coz he's gay.
I have never really been to a real club before. I mean it's my second year in the business and no on allowed me to go to the clubs. Although Jericho did try sneaking me in once, but then he heard it from Randy; luckily, Jericho persuaded Randy to let me in, but once I saw the stripers, Randy got me out of that club before you can say 'strip club'.
I was surprised when we entered without question as we passed a really long line of people. Adam escorted me all the way in until we both got a booth on the top balcony that was overlooking the dance floor.
We ordered some drinks and started talking to each other about what's been going on with the both of us since we haven't seen each other that much in quite a long period of time. Adam, who seemed very open to anything at the moment, asked me something that made me somewhat petrified or motionless for quite a bit.
"I have one question," he started as I took a sip of my drink and nodded, "I wanna know, what is it with you and Randy? I mean the both of you were so close before, I just don't know how you two are all of a sudden, well, not in speaking terms anymore." Adam said as I took some time to think of something to make up, or maybe something that could change the topic.
Before I spoke up, I saw Randy and Stacy walking over to the bar right beside us. With that, I turned to Adam and changed the topic of our conversation.
"Adam, this probably isn't the right time. Maybe we can talk about that in the future. But right now, I feel like dancing." I said as I stood up.
"Hang on, I don't know how to dance." Adam said. Well, for me, that was okay, since I had a plan anyway.
"Don't worry, your dancing skills won't be necessary today." I said as I pulled him gently by the necktie and led him to the dance floor down stairs.
End of Gabrielle's POV
Narrator's POV:
As Gabrielle made her way downstairs, Randy couldn't help but notice the fact that Gabrielle was a good dancer, which would lead to some very disturbing dancing.
With that, Randy told Stacy that they should go down and dance.
"Is this about Gabi?" Stacy asked as she obviously knew that they were there
"I just want to dance. I'm in a good mood today." Randy said faking a smile, which she never even noticed.
"That's the spirit!" Stacy smiled as she dragged Randy into the dance floor.
In the middle of the dance floor, Adam stood there wondering what the hell Gabrielle was up to. As Gabrielle saw Randy, she started dancing.
Randy could not believe what he was seeing. He was seeing the angel in Gabrielle flying away and the she-devil taking over her dance moves. Gabrielle was grinding.
Randy made sure that he was at least within the corner of Gabrielle's eyes, because he had a plan.
End of Narrators POV
Gabrielle's POV
Everything was going great, I was grinding up on Adam and he got in to the music a bit, but he still sucked at dancing and----
Holy Shit. Quadruple shit. Triple shit. Double shit. Shit. (sorry about the cusses)
Randy and Stacy were right there beside me and Adam and they started grinding too! So unoriginal!
But then, I judged too early, Randy and Stacy started making out while dancing!
Oh that bastard!
With that, I took Adam's hands and placed them on my butt. It felt weird, but I knew that it would be worth it sometime.
I saw Randy look over as I started stroking Adam's hair gently.
I cannot believe I was doing this…but you know I was desperate for my independence.
Before I knew it, I felt a hand on my shoulder as it pulled me away from Adam.
Within two seconds, Adam was knocked out and Randy was standing there with his right fist clenched up tightly as several people moved away and watched in shock.
Before Randy could take another step as he neared Adam, I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him back with the little strength I was able to muster up.
"What did I tell you?" I asked him as he put his fist down
"Gabi, he was clearly going too far." Randy said as he pointed at Adam who was supporting himself with his elbow.
"Randy, that's it. I've had it with you. I didn't want to do this…but you need a taste of your own medicine." I said as my fist came flying to his face
I had no idea what has gotten in me, I felt that it had to be done. Or else I would never have my independence. I just hope he really learned his lesson this time and I just hope that this time, he's got that message registered in his head. It was about time too.
End of Gabrielle's POV
Randy's POV:
I wasn't mad at her for doing that, she was right. I deserved that.
As I ignored the blood that started as my lip busted. Stacy helped me up and we both walked out of the club five minutes after Adam and Gabrielle's departure from the club.
As we got back to the hotel, it was just in time when I saw Gabrielle and Adam standing outside Gabrielle's hotel room.
She saw me and turned away.
She was still on it. And I didn't believe what I saw. My eyes were clearly deceiving me. But then, Stacy has just told me that it hasn't.
End of Randy's POV
Gabrielle's POV:
As I saw Randy, I quickly turned away.
I continued talking to Adam about what a great time I had tonight and that I was going to make up for another damage Randy has caused.
As Stacy entered her room, Randy stood outside watching me and Adam.
With that, I pulled Adam in for a long deep kiss.
That was my "make Randy jealous" nerves talking.
After that, I hugged Adam and told him to come in the room. I wasn't going to do anything, I was just going to put some ice on Adam's busted lip.
Although, I tried to make it seem to Randy that something else was going to happen.
With that, I left Randy on his own in the hallway.
I have no idea what happened to him, but I did know that tomorrow was going to be a very, very tough day.
