My Forbidden Heart – Chapter 12

A WEEK LATER

Randy was inside the locker room talking on his cell phone when the door opened and Cena walked in locking the door behind him. Randy looked at an angry Cena.

"Hey baby I'll call you back" Randy hung up and looked at Cena waiting for him to speak. "What?" he asked getting impatient

"Baby? Not Michelle by any chance is it?"

"No it wasn't we've broken up you should know better than anybody"

"You're an idiot Randy!"

"Excuse me?"

"You had her and you just let her go. Do you know how many guys here are cursing you for doing that?"

"What's it got to do with them?"

"Because they all wanted her but couldn't get close because of you and then you go and throw it all away for nothing"

"It wasn't nothing!"

"You dumped her because she was upset and you couldn't handle wiping her tears anymore you were selfish and honestly Randy you don't deserve her. She can do so much better than you"

"What like you?"

"She doesn't want me she wants you! The fool that she is she's waiting for you to go and make things better between you. She's holding onto what little bit of hope she has left. Are you seriously that stupid that you're guna let her go?"

Randy looked at Cena

"Did she tell you she didn't want you?" asked Randy

"Yeah at three o'clock in the morning"

Randy smiled "She doesn't wait. If she's got something to say no matter what time it is she'll tell ya. She came to my room probably the same night and caught me with a girl she barged in packed her case and was leaving then all of a sudden she came back and stripped off and got on the bed and started reading her book. She then humiliated the girl I was with causing her to leave and then she left"

"And you were all alone?"

"Yeah I was"

"Not fun is it?" asked Cena

The room went silent and Randy sat down and cupped his head in his hands. He finally looked up at Cena.

"How do I get her back?"

"You go and tell her how much she means to you and how much you want her. And also how much of an idiot you are"

"Just had to get that in hah?"

"Yeah" said Cena with a smile

Randy stood up and faced Cena

"We cool?"

"Only if you get her back and she's happy"

Randy smiled and he and Cena shook hands.

IN CANADA

A taxi pulled up at the Hart family home. Randy ran to the front door and knocked on it waiting for someone to answer. The door opened and Julie smiled at Randy

"Hello?"

"Is Michelle here?"

"Err...No she was but she went back to Kentucky to pack her stuff up her and her Dad left this morning"

"Kentucky?" asked Randy double checking

"Yeah"

"Hey buddy you have to pay for this taxi" shouted the taxi driver

Randy looked over his shoulder and then back at Julie "Thank you" Randy ran down to the taxi and looked through the window at the guy. "I wanna go back to the airport" Randy climbed in the back

"Sure Miss Daisy I'll take you back you but I ain't starting the car until I get paid"

Randy looked at the taxi driver and pulled his wallet out and gave him money for both fares.

"Now just drive"

"You got it"

The taxi pulled away as Julie watched it leave.

IN KENTUCKY

A taxi pulled up outside the apartment block just behind a removal truck. Randy paid the taxi and ran up the door and was backed out as removal guys back out with Michelle's furniture. As they exited the building Michelle walked out and stopped as she saw Randy stood in front of her.

"You're leaving?"

"I'm going home I don't need to be here no more"

Everything went silent as Randy twitched on the spot not knowing what to say.

"This it all?" asked the removal guy

"Yeah that's everything" replied Michelle.

Just then Bret walked out of the building and saw Randy.

"What are you doing here?" he asked Randy

"Michelle can I talk to you alone?"

Michelle looked at her Dad.

"I don't have a lot of time"

"I just want a couple of minutes"

"Ok"

INSIDE THE BARE APARTMENT

Randy walked around the apartment looking at it without furniture but seeing all his memories before him.

"So?" asked Michelle rushing him

"Remember when we had that leak? BJ was sat in the chair yapping and we woke up and we were flooded out?"

"Yeah I remember"

"When we tried to stop it we tried everything"

"Yeah we're definitely not plumbers"

Randy smiled "But we did it, it might not have been the right way of doing it but it stopped it. I know the plumber got here and criticised our work but for that small time it worked and we did it on our own…together"

"Where are you going with this?"

"I wouldn't have been able to do it without you. We're a good team"

Michelle smiled "The best!"

"Mich I don't wanna lose you. I was an idiot to break up with you. It just felt like it was one problem after another with you and your Dad and it was taking its toll on us and I hated having to watch you torturing yourself over him when he was being so stubborn and cruel. I hated seeing you so miserable"

Michelle walked over and kissed Randy and Bret sighed as he watched on from outside shaking his head. Michelle pulled away from Randy who looked down at her and smiled.

"Does this mean we're ok?"

"Not yet! My Dad is never going to leave. He'll always be there and he'll always be…him. He's not going to change and he's guna be judgmental, blunt and spiteful. If you can't handle that then we'll never make it. So you need to ask yourself if you can deal with that"

Michelle walked out of the apartment and Randy joined her outside.

"Michelle we need to go" said Bret walking around to the drivers seat

"You two made up?" asked Randy

"No he just couldn't wait to get me back to Canada"

"And is that what you want?"

"Yes is it!" said Bret

"Mich?"

"I wanna be near my family. You got an answer for me?" asked Michelle

Randy shook his head.

"Michelle!"

"Ok" Michelle squeezed Randy's hand before she climbed in the car. Randy watched as she drove away.

3 WEEKS LATER

Randy stood inside the apartment he'd once shared with Michelle and smiled. Cena walked in with a table.

"Where do you want this?" he asked

"Over here" Cena walked over and put the table down "Thanks"

"No problem. I don't understand you. Why are you moving into this place?"

"It's a nice apartment"

"Are you up to something?"

"No why?"

"You know she's put in for more time off?"

"Yes I'm aware"

Cena watched as Randy arranged things in his apartment.

"Jesus!" said Cena out loud

"What?" asked Randy

"I spoke to her. She told me about you letting her go again. What is wrong with you?"

"Bret!"

"Bret?"

"Yeah, he doesn't like me and she said it herself her Dad is always guna be in her life and he'll never change"

"You're guna let him ruin it for you?"

"Being in love is supposed to be the easiest and most pleasurable thing in the world. Me and Michelle we love each other but it's not easy and it's not fun we woke up everyday either living in the previous day's misery or with a brand new problem and hurdle to deal with. As long as Bret's in her life we're not going to work its too hard"

"I can't believe that you're going to let this guy stop you from being happy"

"I am happy"

"Randy you're living in the apartment you shared with Michelle. Don't tell me it's because it's a nice apartment because it's so much more than that"

"We had bad times in here but we had just as many good and I don't wanna forget them. There are memories everywhere. If I can't be with Michelle I at least wanna be with the memories"

"If you have to move here and live in this place to feel connected with Michelle isn't that enough to tell you that you should be in Canada getting your girl back and telling her Dad to accept it or butt out?"

Randy sat down and thought about Cena's words.

3 DAYS LATER - IN CANADA

Michelle walked out of her bathroom towel drying her hair she dropped the damp towel on the end of the bed as she made her way into her kitchen. She put on the coffee machine and walked into the living room where she looked around her new apartment and sighed realising that she'd got her independence but lost the only thing that really mattered to her in the process.

ACROSS TOWN

A taxi pulled up and Randy immerged.

"Will you hang on a minute? I might not be wanted here"

"Sure no problem but you know I gotta keep the meter running"

"Yeah I expected that" said Randy giving the driver shifty eyes.

Randy walked up to the door and knocked. Julie opened the door.

"You again?"

"Hi"

"She's not here"

"Do you know where she is?"

"Her Dad told me not to tell you if you arrived here again"

"You're husband isn't my biggest fan"

"After what you did to my daughter I'm not sure I am"

"That's why I'm here I wanna sort things out"

"What if she doesn't want to know?"

"Then I'll apologise for my actions and leave her alone. But I know she loves me"

"You're pretty confident!"

"Tell me I'm wrong"

Julie stepped back into the house and walked out writing something down on a little notepad. She pulled the piece of paper off and handed it to Randy.

"Don't hurt her again"

"I won't"

"You better not because I can only control Bret so much"

"With all due respect either way he's guna hate me"

"If she's happy he'll learn to like you"

"That's reassuring to know. Thanks for this" Randy smiled and got back in the taxi and handed the taxi driver the address.

A WHILE LATER

The taxi pulled up and Randy paid him.

"You want me to sit around again?"

"Nah I could be a while and if I'm not wanted here I'll find another taxi"

"Ok well good luck"

"Thanks"

Randy climbed out of the taxi and walked over towards the building he collected himself before he walked inside. He found Michelle's apartment and stood at the door building up the courage to knock on the door. He raised his hand ready to knock when the door opened. Michelle looked in awe at Randy.

"Hi" said Randy attempting to break the ice

"What are you doing here?" she asked

"Can I come in?"

"No"

"I don't wanna discuss this out in the corridor Mich"

Michelle walked away from the door and Randy followed her in closing the door behind him.

"I'm an asshole!"

"Yeah you are"

"I was being selfish. I love you more than anything but I didn't wanna have to deal with your Dad so I let you go. I shouldn't have. Your Dads guna hate any guy you're with because he's protective of you granted he's guna hate me a little bit more because I've hurt you so much but all he needs to see is how happy we are together then he can't possibly be mad anymore"

"You were guna let me go because of my Dad?"

"I know it was stupid"

"Incredibly stupid! You hurt me that day I thought we were good and then you just stood there and watched me leave you didn't try to stop me"

"I said I was an asshole what more do you want?"

"I want you! That's all I've ever wanted but you seem to be using my Dad as an excuse not to be with me"

"I don't care about your Dad that's what I'm trying to say. I don't care anymore let him hate me, let him hate us. As long as we're together does it really matter?"

Michelle smiled "No but it never did, or at least not to me"

"Well it did to me! I'm over it now though so Michelle please just forgive me"

"Like I said my Dads always guna be there. What guarantees is there that in a months time or even less when he's butting in our lives that you're not going to dump me to get away from it and him?"

"This…" he said dropping to one knee and pulling out a blue box. Michelle stood stunned by Randy who opened the box revealing a beautiful solitaire diamond he took Michelle's hand "You want commitment I'm ready. This means we're one, we're a team and together we can do anything remember? Mich I love you and I know you love me and if your Dad wants to see you happy then he'll learn to be happy for us right?"

"Of all the ways I imagined this moment…"

Randy smiled "Michelle I love you and I don't ever want to be without you. I want to marry you. But will you marry me?"

Michelle smiled "We ain't plumbers and we ain't romantics but I think we could be man and wife"

Randy smiled back at Michelle and took the ring out of the box and put it on her finger. Randy stood up and kissed Michelle furiously mid-kiss he picked up his fiancée and carried her into the bedroom where he made up for being such an asshole.

THE NEXT DAY

Michelle woke up smiling with Randy's arms draped over her holding her tight. She rolled onto her back disturbing Randy who opened his eyes but only through instinct found her lips.

"Morning!" said Michelle smiling at her fiancée as he fell back to sleep.

"Mmm" he moaned

Michelle hated to bring Randy out of his slumber but she was up and she was happy and wanted to shout from the rooftops that she was engaged to him.

"Ready to go tell my family?" she asked climbing out of bed like a bolt of lightning it struck Randy who sat up instantly and looked over at Michelle.

"Are you trying to kill me?" asked Randy

"We've gotta tell them"

"Can't we just enjoy this for a little while before we go ruining it?"

"I don't know about you but I enjoyed myself last night now I'm ready to tell people"

"Oh God are you suicidal?"

"I must be I said yes to you" she said sarcastically leaning over and kissing Randy. "Come on get up, get ready we're leaving in the hour"

"Yes ma'am" said Randy dreading the day ahead

A WHILE LATER

Michelle opened the door to the family home and walked inside while Randy stood outside. Michelle walked back outside and took Randy's hand.

"Its guna be ok you know?" she assured him

Randy shook his head and was lead into the house by Michelle. They walked into the kitchen where the family were sat eating breakfast. Bret looked up and saw Randy walking in behind Michelle.

"What's he doing here?"

"Bret!" said Julie shushing her husband

"We talked and we've made up"

"Oh my God it's Randy Orton" said Alexandra

Randy smiled "Hi" he said to Michelle's siblings Jade, Alexandra, Dallas and Blade.

"We've got something to tell you guys"

Bret stood up in fury not wanting to hear any news but Julie pulled him back down into his seat.

"Listen to your daughter"

Michelle showed her left hand "We're engaged!" she said to her family who were dumbstruck

"Engaged?" asked Bret double checking

"Yeah"

"Are you that cheap?" he asked his daughter

"Bret!" screamed Julie

"He offers you a pretty little diamond and all is forgiven?"

"Oh you're a jerk" said Michelle turning around and leaving with Randy close behind her.

"Are you happy with yourself?" asked an angry Julie who ran after her daughter

Michelle and Randy climbed into the car as Julie ran out the house.

"Michelle wait!" Julie ran over to the car "Ignore him! You know your father by now" Julie smiled at the couple "Congratulations!" she said smiling and leaning in to kiss her daughter.

"Why can't he just be happy for us?"

"I'll talk to him don't worry"

"Thanks Mom I'm guna go back with Randy to get away from Dad I don't need this right now"

"Ok don't let him get to you"

Michelle smiled "I won't" Michelle and Randy drove away as Bret stood at the door and watched them.

"If you wanna lose your daughter you're going the right way about it" said Julie pushing passed Bret and going back into the house leaving Bret on the doorstep.
