Disclaimer: I do not own any wrestlers or racecar drivers. WWE and NASCAR own them. I only own Mikayla. I think Raechel and Amanda own themselves. LOL! Also want to say thanks to Huntersgirl, Dana, Im4rko, TakersFallenAngel, randy-john-lover, and Rawemotion for their reviews. I was so afraid no one would like this so to see your reviews really makes me happy. Also I want to say thanks to the OC's without your help I would have not nearly as enough inspiration. Thanks Stacy

Chapter 4

Changed Look, Getting Fired, and Meeting Amanda

Mikayla sighed, as she got ready to go the arena. It was now two weeks later and her heart still felt broken. She pulled out her garment bag containing her ring attire. As Randy's valet she decided that even though she could wear jeans with a nice shirt, she figured why not dress nice. She knew John, Randy, and Raechel were all worried about her. Before she could go hop in the shower in her hotel room her cell phone rang. It was funny how most of the ring tones on her cell phone were previously songs you'd hear on the radio. Now most of them were wrestler's entrance themes. Recognizing this theme as Batista's she smiled as she answered the phone.

"Hey Dave what's the deal?"

"I need a favor."

"A favor huh Dave? Well for you I guess I can. Whatcha need?"

"My wife Amanda is visiting tonight and she has the kids."

"Let me guess. She needs help watching them?"

"Yeah do you mind princess?"

"Nah bear. I don't mind."

At that comment, Mikayla smiled. She'd known Dave since she regularly started to visit her dad. The two had a good friendship. She remembered the day they both gave the other nicknames a month ago.

FLASHBACK

Mikayla and Randy were arguing about whether or not she should accompany him to the ring for his next match. It was against Triple H and he knew that Batista and Ric Flair would end up interfering in the match and didn't want her to get hurt. Mikayla felt herself fuming.

"Randy I am a big girl. I can handle myself."

Randy looked at her firmly.

"You're not going and that's that."

Mikayla stood in shock and anger.

"Last time I checked you weren't my fuckin' dad and you didn't own me."

"No but you are my valet."

Just as Mikayla was about to slap the smirk off of his face, Dave gently grabbed her wrist, picked her up, and threw her over his large broad shoulder. As he was carrying her out of Randy's locker room you could hear her yelling at him.

"Dammit Dave put me down you big bear."

Dave opened the door to Evolution's locker room and grinned.

"As you wish princess."

Then he gently tossed her on the couch and stood in front of her preventing her from leaving.

"Listen princess he's just worried about you. You know how our matches can tend to get out of hand sometimes thanks to the storylines. Sometimes innocent people get hurt. None of us want to see you get hurt. To just about everyone you have become like family to. We all care about you…some of us more than others."

Mikayla barely heard what he said, but she heard it still.

"What's that supposed to mean bear?"

Dave grinned as he sat next to his young friend.

"That's the second time you've called me bear. Is that your name for me?"

"Well you are Evolution's animal. And besides you've been calling me princess for a while. Only seems fit that I give you a nickname."

Dave wrapped an arm around her shoulders and hugged her.

"Now go talk to Randy."

"One question first though."

"What did you mean about some more than others?"

Dave knew he couldn't expose Randy's feelings for this young girl so he lied.

"Well you might be like family to all of us, but to your dad you are family. So he cares more for you."

Mikayla jokingly glared at him.

"That's complete and total bull shit but I'll let it go for now."

Then she gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek and left to find Randy.

END FLASHBACK

Mikayla pulled the phone from her ear as Dave was yelling her name into it. She realized then she had spaced out.

"Sorry bear. I was just remembering the day we gave each other our names."

She heard his deep laugh and let out a little chuckle.

"So you'll help Amanda then?"

"Sure. I love kids. Tell Amanda that I'll meet up with her as soon as I get to the arena. And it'll be great to finally meet the woman who puts up with your ass twenty-four seven."

"Not funny princess. But thanks. I appreciate it. Just come to my locker room after checking in with Orton. I gotta go now though. See you at the arena."

Mikayla told him bye and hung up her cell phone. After taking her shower, she glanced at her outfit on the bed. She looked at the skirt first. She had bought it the previous week along with the rest of her outfit on a shopping trip with Raechel. The skirt was black and fell about four inches from her knee. On the bottom of it was a black ribbon wrapping all around the skirt with small ruffle that was a see through black material. Then she looked at her shirt. She couldn't believe she had actually let Raechel talk her into buying it. It was so unlike her. For some reason it made her think of the outfit she wore that night at Junior's party to impress Casey. 'I will not think about that asshole now. He doesn't deserve it.' The mix shades of blue on her shirt really brought out her eyes. After placing her outfit on she went to do her hair and makeup. Once finished she slipped on her black heels. To her the heel was a little too thin, but thanks to Raechel's suggestion of practicing walking in them she was used to them. She pulled on a simple black jacket that belonged to one of her pants suits and left it unbuttoned. Just as she finished getting ready she heard a knock on the door. She opened it and smiled as she found Raechel on the other side.

"Hey Kayla. You look nice. Trying to impress someone?"

"Nah. Just thought I'd change my ringside appearance."

Raechel nodded even though she knew that Mikayla really wanted to make an impression on Randy.

"That's total bull but I'll let it slide."

"Gee how kind of you Rae. You look good too by the way. Too bad John ain't here to see it."

"Right you are. He did call earlier though to invite me to a Smackdown appearance."

"Really where at?"

"Well in Charlotte. He wanted to invite you too but didn't know if you'd wanna go seeing as how Junior and the guys will be there…including Casey."

"You tell John I'll be there with bells on in time for his match. I have to be in Raleigh for Randy's match if he even wants me to accompany him since he's in a storyline with Stacy Kiebler now."

"Ok what happened? I thought you and her were cool Kayla."

"So did I Rae. But when Randy and her started this whole love storyline she's been rude to me. I called her out on it the other day and Randy got in my face and told me to back off."

"Hence the new wardrobe."

"Excuse me Rae?"

"Mikayla. I know you and I haven't known each other that long but I can tell you like Randy. So I think that's why it didn't take me too much convincing to get you to buy those clothes. You just better pray to God that John doesn't yell at me too much for your new choice in outfits. Just admit you like Randy already."

Mikayla couldn't help it she had to smile at that. True her and Raechel had just barely met but an instant friendship had formed. Raechel was a great person and she only hoped John would come around to admitting how he felt for her and ask Raechel out.

"Yeah that's true. I swear it's bad enough my dad will probably make a big fuss but not too much of one considering how old I am now. But John is like worse sometimes. When he gets into his whole protective big brother like thing sometimes it just makes me wanna slap the shit outta him."

"Would you ever really hit him Kayla?"

Kayla smiled at the girl as they now left her hotel and got in her rental car.

"And mess up that sexy face of his that you love so dear?"

She paused as Raechel playfully hit her shoulder.

"Seriously though Rae…no I would never hit John."

Raechel nodded and smiled as she glanced out the window on the way to the arena. Mikayla swallowed the lump that appeared in her throat when she parked the car at the arena. Even though she didn't think she had a reason to be, she was nervous to meet Dave's wife. She couldn't help it. Once the two girls made it back stage Raechel almost ran into the back of Mikayla.

"Kayla…it's called walking. Why don't we try it. Come on put your left foot out and take a step."

It was then Raechel noticed what Mikayla was looking at. About four feet away stood Randy Orton. Not only was he not alone, but also he was kissing Stacy Kiebler. Just as Mikayla was about to run back out to the parking area her cell phone rang. The loud ringing of Lil John's 'Get Low' caught the couple making out off guard causing them to jump apart. Randy looked up and noticed the hurt look on Mikayla's face. Mikayla however just weakly smiled before turning to Raechel.

"Hey I am gonna go take this outside. Will you tell Randy that I am gonna be in Dave's locker room with his wife?" Raechel sadly nodded. She hated how her best friend hurt her new friend. Raechel turned and noticed Randy walking up to her with Stacy Kiebler.

"Rae this is Stacy Kiebler. Stacy this is my Rae."

Stacy looked at Rae angrily and it was at that moment Raechel understood why quite a few people around there didn't like the diva so much.

"Your Rae?"

Raechel looked at Randy and noticed he was looking at the ground.

"What he meant to say was his best friend Rae."

Meanwhile Mikayla was outside talking on her cell phone to John.

"John I want to be there. I appreciate you're worried about me seeing Casey again, but I'll be fine. I'll try in time for your match ok?"

She heard John sigh in defeat.

"Ok Kay. I can't help it. I mean after what he did to you…I'm just worried. You're one of my best friends baby girl."

"I'd call you boo like I used to, but I think that's more reserved for Rae now. I am so proud of you for inviting her to your Smackdown event in Charlotte."

"Was she happy about it?"

"Ecstatic is more like it. I am so glad you're finally gonna ask her out. It's about time you got into a relationship."

"That advice goes both ways Kay."

"Yeah well it seems every time I am attracted to someone I get the shitty end of things. So I think I am gonna take a long break away from things. But look I gotta go. I have to go meet Dave's wife. Bye John."

"Bye Kay."

With that Mikayla made it inside just as Stacy told Raechel she was Randy's on screen and off screen girlfriend. Mikayla just smiled at Raechel and started to make her way to Dave's locker room just as Randy called out her name. She just stood with her back facing him waiting for him to catch up.

"Where are you going?"

"I am gonna go hang out with Dave, his wife, and their kids. Why?"

"Well I thought we were all gonna hang out."

"Randy I am just your valet remember? I don't have to be with you twenty-four seven."

Randy winced as his own words from their argument last week came right back at him.

"Look Kayla I…"

"Just come find me before your match. That is if you want me to walk out with you. By the way John wanted me to tell you he's sorry that you can't make it to the Smackdown event in Charlotte. He understands though."

Randy looked at her stopping her before she walked off again.

"Are you going Kayla?"

"Yeah. You're match is first that night. I am gonna be here for that and then drive to his with Raechel."

Randy couldn't help it. He was a little angry when he heard that. Maybe a little jealous too.

"Ya know what Mikayla…don't even bother being here for my match. In fact I don't need you as a valet anymore. Stacy can accompany me to ringside."

Seeing the look of shock and hurt cross her face made Randy instantly wanna take back what he said.

"Fine. I'll go let Eric know."

With that she walked off and quickly went to find her dad's locker room. She knew it would be empty since he didn't have any matches tonight. She opened the door and as soon as she sat on the couch the tears came. She called John's cell phone. Just as soon as it started ringing she began to hang up. She didn't wanna leave him a voicemail. Just when she almost hung up she heard his voice.

"Hello."

"John…"

"Kay? What is it?"

John instantly sat up. His co-workers face all looked at him. They all knew Mikayla really well and were now concerned.

"Nothing."

"What'd he do?"

"Nothing for you to worry about. I just wanted to tell you that I will be able to be there at the beginning of Smackdown in Charlotte. Randy isn't gonna need me to accompany him."

John sighed in relief and Mikayla couldn't help but feel bad for lying to him. But she didn't want to ruin the guys' friendship.

"I'll see you next week though. I gotta go talk to Eric and then go to Dave's locker room."

After talking to Eric later that night Mikayla made her way to Dave's locker room. Just as she got there she noticed a little boy that was the splitting image of Dave standing there. She knelt down to his level and smiled at him.

"Hi what's your name?"

"You're her."

Mikayla looked at the picture the boy pointed at. It was a picture of her and Dave.

"Yeah. My name's Mikayla."

"I'm Michael. Daddy told me to watch for you."

Mikayla shook his hand and couldn't help but smile.

"Well how about we go inside and tell him you found me."

Michael nodded smiling big. Mikayla knew then that little boy would do anything for Dave. She walked in the locker room and saw a woman standing by the couch with a little girl. She assumed the woman was Amanda, Dave's wife. She was about stood to Mikayla's height of 5'5". She had straight brownish blonde hair and wore a pair of black pants and a dark green shirt. She noticed as the girl brushed away a stray piece of hair that her ears were pierced twice like her own. As the woman bent down to talk to her daughter, who was the spitting image of her, that she had a tattoo on her back. Just based on looks alone Mikayla had a feeling they would get along great.

"Mommy! I found her!"

Amanda stood and looked at the woman standing in the doorway.

"You must be Mikayla. Dave's told me so much about you."

"None of its true."

Amanda laughed at the girl's sarcastic comment.

"I'm Amanda Batista. That little one standing next to you is Michael. He's six. This little one hiding behind my leg is Lily. She's four."

Mikayla took her outstretched hand and shook it.

"I was just getting the kids ready to get a bite to eat with Dave. But I am thinking of just letting the three of them go. You look like you could use someone to talk to."

Mikayla nodded sadly just as Dave appeared in the room.

"Hey princess. See you met my family."

Mikayla weakly smiled at him before nodding her head.

"Yeah and just by looking at your wife I am wondering how she puts up with you."

"Watch it princess."

"Oh I am so scared. But seriously you've got a good family."

It was then Mikayla felt a small tug on her skirt. She looked down at the little girl and then bent down to her level.

"Hi Lily. That's a pretty dress you're wearing. I like your pigtails too."

"Mommy did them."

"Your mommy did a good job. Did your mommy pick out your dress…or did you? I bet you did didn't you."

The way Lily smiled while nodding her head made Mikayla laugh.

"Dave honey. Why don't you take the kids to lunch. I'm gonna stay her and get to know Mikayla."

Dave nodded and took both of his kids' hands in his own.

"We'll bring you two back something ok?"

The two girls nodded as he left. Mikayla took a seat next to Amanda on the couch.

"First off I know you don't really know me Mikayla, but I've been told I'm a great listener. Also you can call me Manda. Never and I mean never call me Mandy. I hate that."

"Thanks for offering to listen. You can call me Kayla. Everyone does but John."

"John?"

"Cena. He calls me Kay. And apparently only he can."

"Dave doesn't call you by your real name? He calls you princess doesn't he?"

"Yeah. I don't even really remember exactly when or why he started but…"

Then Mikayla told her of the day she started calling him bear.

"Yeah that's my husband all right."

"So how did you and Dave meet?"

"First off why don't you tell me what's wrong with you. Then I'll tell you about me and him."

Mikayla nodded and told her about everything. From her relationship with her ex Casey to her feelings for Randy.

"Does he know?"

"Nope. He's with Stacy Kiebler now. After tonight I won't be seeing him anymore anyways. He fired me from being his valet."

"Wow. That's harsh."

"Yeah. Just means I'll have more time to visit with John and my other friends Junior, Martin, Jamie, Tony, Kevin, Elliott, Jimmie, Brian, and Ryan."

"Wow that's a lot of guys' names."

"Well I live in Charlotte, North Carolina…home of Lowe's Motor Speedway. Those guys are all NASCAR drivers. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Martin Truex Jr., Jamie McMurray, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Elliott Sadler, Jimmie Johnson, Brian Vickers, and Ryan Newman."

"I remember Dave said you were dating a race car driver. I presume that was Casey?"

"Yeah Casey Mears. We met at a bar one night in Ft. Worth, Texas while they were racing there. It was like instant attraction. After a year of dating I moved in with him in Huntersville, North Carolina. Now I have my own place in Charlotte though."

"Have you talked to him since?"

"Yeah. He called me last night. He wanted to talk about being friends again. I told him I'd be home for a few days next week and we could talk more about it then. Then I told him I did want to work on being friends again. So now that I've told my story how did you and Dave meet?"

"Well…"
