Sworn to Secrecy
Miss Ed
Chapter Seven: Confusion and Guitars (LOOONG CHAPTER…TO KEEP YA UP Ü)
"Randy, sweetie, what do you think of this dress?" Stacy asked modeling a light pink strapless dress that fell right above her knees
Randy, who wasn't paying attention all this time (4 hours of Stacy modeling different colors of the same dress), nodded absently at her question
"Actually, I think I'll try the orange one instead." Stacy said walking back to the bathroom, giving Randy time to think to himself
At the moment, he felt very confused. He didn't know why. But something was bothering him.
The image of Gabi and Adam angered him. He felt the heat he usually got when he was mad at someone and the fact that he was really peeved. It's 3:00 pm and this morning, he woke up from an odd dream. A dream he didn't understand because he only saw Gabi as a sister.
Maybe letting go of her was a stupid thing to do. Maybe he just got so used to being around her all the time, that he still didn't get used to the fact that she's out there having her own life. That she's enjoying life…without him.
He wanted to be a part of her life, and he was, but that only lasted a while. He got too attached to her, that it would tear him apart when they went their separate ways.
Knowing that she's enjoying life even more than she did with him just angered him more. She was a part of him and he wanted to be a part of her, but now, she hates him, she discarded him and merely sees him as a person she works with in the business. But that's it.
"What about this?" Stacy said turning around and grinning widely
"You know what Stacy; you're not a kid anymore. Decide for yourself. If you go out of this door without a coordinated outfit, you won't die so deal with it." He said peeved as he walked out of the suite and stormed down the hall, running into Chris Jericho
"Hey Orton, you aight?" Jericho asked as he walked with Randy to the café
"Do I look like I am?" Randy asked as he placed his hands in his pockets
"Actually, you look like you're" All Randy had to do was glare at Chris to make him stop, "Never mind." Chris then decided to change the topic, "Anyway, is there anything I could do?"
"Not at the moment. I am just so confused right now. I mean, what does Gabi see in Adam?" Randy complained
"You're jealous of them, aren't you?" Chris said grinning widely
"No! I'm not jealous. It's just that—I mean—they're not much of a couple—and they—she's too young—and she—"
Silence
Randy looked down at his designer shoes and sighed deeply, "You're right. I most probably am."
"Most probably what?" Chris said placing his hand behind his ear as if he can't hear him
"Jealous," Randy whispered
"What was that?" Chris asked
"Jealous," Randy said slightly louder
"I can't hear you."
"Jealous! Alright? I'm jealous of Gabi and Adam." He concluded as Jericho gave a triumphant grin
"So what are you SPECIFICALLY jealous about? And don't make –she's too young to be with him, she's too this and that- as your excuses. Tell me what you really feel, Orton. I mean, you are definitely a talented athlete, not like me of course, but you sure are stupid sometimes." Chris said as Randy ignored the side comments
"I dunno, it's just that I get this mixed feeling of anger and frustration at the same time when I see them together." Randy said as he kicked the rug
"Frustration?" Chris thought out loud as he pondered for a moment, then came up with a conclusion, "You love Gabi, don't you?" Chris asked
Randy looked up at him, "As a sister", he said
"Doesn't seem like it, Orton. You love her. I just know it. You've been bitten by the bug." Chris said as Randy looked back down, "You know Orton; you're just like everyone else. You don't realize the value of something or someone until it's gone. But you're lucky."
"Why is that?" Randy asked looking back up
"It's not too late." Jericho said as it was his turn to look down
"How would you know if it isn't too late?" Randy asked as Jericho decided to look back up
"Orton, you didn't completely loser her yet. She's still there, within your grasp. You can still catch her. I know I was too late. I mean, she was this close, and then I let her go to that idiotic ass clown, Hunter. Now it's too late. Instead of being the father of her kids, I'm now the uncle. So, take some advice from me, Orton, you're not too late, go after her, before it actually is." Chris said as he started to walk away, but Randy grabbed his wrist
"Wait, can you play the guitar?" Randy asked as Chris gave a puzzled look
"Yeah, why?" Chris asked puzzled
"Can you teach me how?" Randy asked
"I guess so, but what for?" Chris asked as Randy started explaining
"Are you nuts! You're going to ruin the storyline! You'll probably get fired!" Chris said as his eyes grew by the moment
"Yes, I am nuts, but you have to bear with me. It really means a lot to me. And it's worth getting fired over, if it works." Randy said
"But if it doesn't?" Chris asked worriedly
"Only fate can tell." Randy said
"But fate's a BITCH!" Chris practically shouted
"I only have one shot, Jericho. Are you in or are you out?" Randy asked
"Fine, I'm in. But if Eric asks you who put you up to this, you better blame your stupidity. And forget I was ever here." Chris said as Randy gave him a huge man hug and hit him on the arm
"When can you start?" Randy asked
"How's tomorrow?" Jericho asked as Randy nodded happily and stormed off
"Thanks Jericho!" He shouted back as he disappeared into the elevator
Jericho shook his head, "Poor kid, his heart won him over, now he might very well lose his job." Jericho said as he placed his hands in his pockets and walked away
Randy on the other hand, was rushing the elevator to go faster. As soon as he reached the lobby, he ran for the parking lot outside and took his rental for a spin
"Where the hell is that music shop?" Randy complained as he drove round and round the city "My goodness…" Randy said as he hit the wheel and saw the traffic in front of him, "Dammit," he cursed under his breath as a van full of girls stopped by him, he looked to his left and saw them screaming, but didn't hear them due to the closed window. He made a gesture that looked like he was opening a pretend window as the girls put their windows down.
"OH MY GOD! IT'S RANDY ORTON!" the girls screamed loudly as some other teenagers on the street ran to Randy's car and ambushed him
Dammit! I shouldn't have rented a convertible…aw shit... Randy cursed in his head as he signed whatever it is these kids wanted him to sign…HE EVEN HAD TO KISS A FREAKIN' BABY…WAIT…actually, he also had to kiss the mom…ew…
He bid them all a goodbye as he back up his car and drove off to the other street, this time, wearing his shades and a baseball cap, he had in his compartment, and you'll never really know when you'll need it.
As soon as that, he got to the music shop on time and purchased the guitar, placed it in his trunk and got stuck in traffic, again…
This time, he was beside a very familiar white convertible. He listened to the music on the radio and it sounded too familiar. He heard another familiar thing…it was the voice singing along with "True" by Ryan Cabrera…it was played two times and then played again, and only one person memorizes each key, each note and each guitar chord for this song.
He looked to his left and saw Gabrielle singing to the song like there was no tomorrow. She tapped on the wheel and threw her head back every time the note was quite high. She sang like no one was watching, even though practically everyone was.
She looked so beautiful; she had such a gorgeous smile on her face and – STOP!
Miss Ed: Randy, remember, she's not talking to you! Why are you thinking like this about her?
Randy: -cricket-
Miss Ed: I have no idea why I hired you in the first place!
Randy: -cricket-
Miss Ed: Hello! I'm talking to yoouuuuuuu!
Randy: -cricket-
Miss Ed: Useless son of a –
Randy: Don't you dare finish that sentence…
Miss Ed: Oh, so now you talk
Randy: -cricket-
Miss Ed: Never mind, PLAY IT, MIKE!
Randy: Who's mike-
Miss Ed: We're rolling!
He just stared at her and forgot about the stoplight turning green…and that's when ten sets of honking cars woke him up from his day dream.
Gabrielle rode off into the corner on the left as Randy went to the right.
"I should've said something." Randy mentally slapped himself…he practically drooled like a hound dog when he was in the presence of Danielle at that time…now, he was going to do what he has been longing to do…for quite sometime.
"Stacy, we're through." Randy said as he placed the guitar down on his bed and sat on the couch which was at the foot of the bed
"Whatever, Randy. Do you want coffee?" Stacy asked quite calmly as she poured herself a cup of coffee
"No thanks. I mean it Stace, we're through. I don't want to be 'with' you anymore." Randy said as simply as he could and as calmly as he could
"How about a Dr. Pepper?" Stacy asked obviously oblivious to the flaw of Randy's previous statements
"STACY! I TOLD YOU ALREADY! I SAID IT ONCE, AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN! WE'RE THROUGH! I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR BOYFRIEND; I DON'T EVEN WANT YOU TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND ANYMORE! I TRIED TO TELL YOU CALMLY, AND YET YOU CONTINUE TO PROVE TO ME THE THEORY REGARDING BLONDES' STUPIDITY! I mean, you and Trish are a bunch of dumb asses, but I wouldn't say that to the other blondes. Britney's hot. SEE, WHERE I'M GETTING AT STACY? I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE! YOU SUCK AT SEX! YOU SAID YOUR OWN NAME THREE TIMES AND YOU MOAN TOO LOUDLY! OH YEAH, AND THE ONLY THING GOOD ABOUT YOU IS YOUR ASS!" Randy said as he practically turned red with anger, due to Stacy's stupidity
"How about a Coke?" she asked stupidly
Randy just stomped out of the room and went down to the bar to have a talk with Jericho, who could very well relate to his situation.
Randy didn't know how else to explain to Stacy that he didn't want her anymore. He had no feelings anymore. He wanted out of this relationship.
Drastic times call for drastic measures…
Guess that explains Randy's RKO on Stacy on the following week. (Note: On Randy RKO'd Stacy because he wanted to prove something to the Undertaker. But in my story, he did it because he had no other way to explain it to her. And the kiss, it was a "goodbye" kiss…aw…how sad…boo hoo…OKAY! Back to the story!)
Although, the week after that, Randy had something up his sleeve. And it was regarding Gabrielle.
Randy had just RKO'd Stacy and he kind of felt good, but bad at the same time. I mean, bad because practically every diva backstage hated him for doing that to a lady, and loved it, since he was now free.
Anyway, he just roamed the arena after work, to get some time to think. Then he came to stop and lean on a nearby door. Obviously, he was tired or walking and walking and walking… then he heard moans inside the room. He listened in, and realized that the door wasn't locked, then accidentally pushed to door open, to see Lita in her Lingerie and Adam in only his jeans.
Randy backed up quickly and shut the door and ran a hand through his hair.
"This can't be… Gabi's going to be heartbroken." Randy said as he looked around worriedly
Note: Here's a sneak peek of chapter eight:
"Thanks, Matt, you're heaven sent. Thanks for telling me. Bye." Gabrielle shut her flip phone and leaned on the wall as she fell down crying. Her face red, heat building up, beads of sweat forming her face as she lost her breathe crying. She couldn't believe it. She has actually grown to…love…Adam. Then he does this. And Lita, her best friend…betrayed her.
Gabi started punching the cement floor with her fist until she found it bleeding a bit. Her hand was numb from all the punching. With all the blood that rose to her head, the pressure was intense…that's when she fainted on the cold cement floor. As she hoped that she had already died. Fortunately not dying, she found herself in a room. With a familiar scent of "Obsession". The bathroom door opened. And he came out.
Seeing a silhouette, she thought it was an angel. Then she saw his face. She thought she would never be this glad to see him…ever…
Pls. Review…
