That following Monday Vanessa was sitting in her dressing room extremely lost in thought on what had happened between her and Randy only a few days ago. She could not believe that what occurred between them had happened. She knew better since she was engaged to Dave, but something had come over her to act the way she did. She could not understand why her body responded to his touch when her mind was screaming for her not to do it. She had always known that there was a powerful force between her and Randy, but she had thought after she got engaged to Dave and Randy disappeared that that force would have disappeared… but after what had happened she realized that that force was still there and as powerful as ever. She closed her eyes and relived the moment...

FLASHBACK

She had a thought and she asked the question she really did not want to know the answer to, "Were you faithful? Or are there other children somewhere?" She pushed away from him to get a real good look in his eyes as he answered the question.

Randy understood why she asked and he took her hand again and placed it over his heart, "Angel, you are the only woman in my heart… I could not even look at another woman without thinking about you. You are everything to me, you're my heart, my soul, my universe. I don't think I am can go on my life without you. Vanessa, I am still in love with you, and I want to restart what we have."

Vanessa immediately got off the couch and went as far away as she could, "Randy, I am marrying Dave in a couple of months. I love Dave and I want to spend the rest of my life with him."

Randy got up from the couch and got up close to her until their lips were only a few inches apart. Vanessa's heart started to race and her breath suddenly got quick and short as she got the strong smell of his cologne Obsession that she had always loved. "How can you marry him… when you still want me?"

Suddenly he closed those inches apart and kissed her with the passion he had so long been denied, as he pulled her tightly into his arms. Vanessa was shocked that he did that suddenly, and she tried to push away him, but he refused to budge and suddenly her body responded to him as she felt herself close her eyes and begin to kiss back. She wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him to her until there was no space between them as Randy slid his tongue through her open mouth and teased her tongue with his as he deepened the kiss. Slowly he glided his hands down her back and then cupped her butt and then lifted her up until she wrapped her legs around his waist, never breaking the passionate kiss. He finally broke the kiss and then slowly began to kiss her neck causing her to gasp in pleasure. She arched her neck to give him more access to her neck and moaned softly when he gently bite her neck, then licked the spot to soothe it. "Randy…" she whispered in passion as she felt his hand heading toward her blouse. Just as she felt the blouse being opened and a hand was about to open her bra… her cell phone began to ring.

END FLASHBACK

Suddenly she heard, "Earth calling Vanessa? Please respond!"

Vanessa snapped out of her thoughts and her eyes flew open and she looked right into her best friend Trish Stratus' eyes. "Hey Trish, how long have you been there?"

Trish smiled lightly, "I have been standing here for like five minutes calling you, but you did not respond. Got a lot on your mind?"

"Yeah I do," said Vanessa with a sigh, "you have no idea."

Trish looked at her with concern and placed a hand on Vanessa's shoulder, "Is it about Randy returning?"

"That and the wedding with Dave," said Vanessa, "you know before Randy came back, I was all set to get married and be a family with Megan but now that Randy is back…."

"You don't know what to do?"

"Exactly!" said Vanessa, "I mean, I love Dave and I do want to marry him… but then there is Randy. He is Megan's father, and that connection that I have with him is still there, even though I thought I was long gone."

Vanessa moved her hair and Trish's eyes went wide, "Oh my God… Vanessa what is that!"

Vanessa looked at Trish with confusion, "What is what?"

Trish grabbed Vanessa's arm and dragged her to the mirror, where she pointed to Vanessa's neck, "That."

Vanessa looked in the mirror and was shocked at what she saw, there was a hickey on her neck from where Randy bit her, "Oh my God…."

"Is that a hickey? Is that from Dave? He has never left one on you before… wait a minute… is that from Randy?" When Vanessa hesitated to answer, Trish realized that it was from Randy, "VANESSA! Bad girl! How could you!"

"Trish! I could not help it! I tried to resist him… but I forgot how powerful his kisses were. They are like a drug to me… and I could not help myself."

"Did you sleep with him?"

"God NO!" said Vanessa as she sat back down on the couch, "If Dave had not called when he did… I might have." She placed her face in her hands, "God I don't know what to do anymore."

"Vanessa," said Trish as she sat down next to Vanessa and wrapped a comforting arm around her, "I think you need to stay away from Randy, otherwise everything you have worked for with Dave will be for nothing."

"It's not that easy Trish," said Vanessa as she looked up and sighed lightly, "he knows about Megan."

"He knows? How?"

"When I was wrestling Nora for title, Amy was watching Megan, but she had to grab something out of the locker room, and he walked into the dressing room and saw Megan. So I could not deny it."

"My God… does Megan know yet?"

"No, we were going to tell her when Randy told me why he left, but Megan visited my folks, and we are going to tell her tomorrow when we go back to St. Louis. I can not believe that all of this is happening to me, and I am supposed to be marrying Dave in a few weeks now. Man I feel so helpless right now, why oh why did Randy have to come back now? Why couldn't he come back before I fell in love with Dave and planned to become his wife?"

"Sweetie, I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could do. If I could, I would turn back time and prevent Randy from leaving so that you can be happy again."

Vanessa smiled at her best friend and placed her head on Trish's shoulder, "Thank you hun, but right now I need to do a lot of thinking."

"I completely understand," said Trish as she hugged Vanessa, "well I need to go, and talk to Amy about later tonight."

"OK," said Vanessa as she hugged Trish back, "thank you for listening."

"No problem," said Trish as she went up to the vanity mirror and she then tossed something at Vanessa, "and here, you are going to need this."

When Vanessa caught and looked at it, it was concealer, "Thanks Trish." With that Trish left and Vanessa worked to hide the hickey on her neck. Once she was done, her neck looked as perfect as it did before Randy branded her. "Perfect." She smiled as she then put away all the makeup, and just as she finished Dave walked into the dressing room looking really pissed off. "Hey… what's wrong?"

"That son of a bitch!" said Dave, not realizing that Vanessa spoke to him, "I can not stand him!"

"DAVE!" screamed Vanessa causing Dave to finally look at her, "What is going on?"

"I really have to say," said Dave with anger, "that I really HATE your ex-husband."

Vanessa sighed lightly as she asked, "What did he do THIS time?"

"Apparently he requested a mixed tag team with you against Stacy and that stupid Chris Masters. Of course Bischoff agreed to it!"

"WHAT?"

"Oh, and it gets better… I am banned from ringside!"

"What… why are you banned from ringside?"

"Apparently, Randy feels that I would cause a distraction and I would cause you two the match!"

"My God! If anything you would HELP the match, PLUS you are MY fiancé and my manager! Jesus Christ! What is going on in that mind of his?" Vanessa immediately sighed lightly as she was dreading this match.

Later on that night

Vanessa and Randy were in their match against Stacy and Chris "The Masterpiece" Masters, with Vanessa in the ring with Stacy. While Randy and Chris were duking it out on the outside of the ring. Stacy smiled as she had knocked down Vanessa to the ground and was ready to do her finishing move, and when Vanessa was on her feet, Stacy was aching for her to turn around. The crowd was screaming for her to not turn around or was a warning that Stacy was to kick her out. When Vanessa turned around she saw that Stacy was about to kick, and Vanessa ducked under her leg. And when Stacy turned around, Vanessa kicked Stacy in the stomach and suddenly did the RKO for the 1-2-3. "Your winners… Randy Orton and Vanessa Orton!" said Lillian as Vanessa's theme music hit the Titantron.

Vanessa stood up as the ref made his way to her and handed her the title. He then raised her hand in victory. Randy then slid into the ring and he smiled as he walked up to Vanessa and hugged her. Vanessa stiffened in his embrace and then noticed that very pissed off Chris Masters slid back into the ring with a chair in his hands, and she knew that he was aiming for Randy. Something came over her as she said, "RANDY WATCH OUT!" She then shoved Randy away from her just as the chair made contact with her head knocking her out.

Randy was surprised when Vanessa pushed him away, but suddenly he noticed Chris Masters was standing over a unconscious Vanessa with a chair in his hand with a shocked look on his face. Immediately Randy realized what had happened and he shoved Chris out of the ring and stared down at Vanessa. "Vanessa!" He kneeled down beside Vanessa and tried to revive her, "Vanessa? Come on baby open your eyes. Vanessa can you hear me? Angel, please wake up."

Suddenly Dave slid into the ring and immediately went up to Vanessa, "Vanessa sweetheart can you hear me?" When Vanessa did not wake up Dave carefully scooped Vanessa into his arms and started to make his way out of the ring.

Randy stood up as he said, "Let me help-" But Dave stopped him with a look that could kill.

"Back off Orton! She is MY fiancée! You better remember that!" With that Dave took Vanessa out of the ring and immediately to their dressing room. When Dave got her into the dressing room, he gently placed her on the couch. "Baby if you can hear me, I am going to go get some medical attention for you." He kissed her sweetly and then went to find the trainer.

A couple minutes later Vanessa slowly opened her eyes after the bad chair shot she had taken, she could not believe that it knocked her out. She gingerly touched her head and thanked God she was not busted open. She decided to make her way up to her feet and find Dave, which was a big mistake. Immediately she felt her head begin to spin and began to fall, but she felt strong hands catching her and easing her back on the couch. She had closed her eyes to stop the spinning of the room, and when she opened her eyes, she smiled when she saw Dave leaning over her with concern. He asked, "Are you OK? You took one hell of a chair shot."

"I am a lot better now that you are here," Vanessa smiled as she then lowered his lips to hers and kissed him with passion, in which he happily returned with an equal passion.

Suddenly she heard, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" She then broke the kiss and was about to yell at whoever interrupted her and Dave, but then she was shocked to find that Dave was standing there was a really pissed off look in his.

"Dave? If you are there… than who?" She then looked up at who she had kissed, "Oh God no…" She was shocked to find that she was looked up at the smiling face of Randy Keith Orton.
