Disclaimer: I don't own Randy Orton (shucks!) or any other WWE superstar that may appear in my story. They are the property of themselves and Vince McMahon. If I did, do you really think I'd be sharing Randy with all of you? Anyways, I don't own them but I am using them in my story. I only own my OCs and the storyline, which I have created. Hope you all enjoy!

Chapter 15 – Fighting for Love

Randy woke up a little while later and he noticed that it was 12:15. He got up out of bed and he could hear the shower running. He figured Danielle was already up and in the shower. He couldn't believe he had spent the night in Danielle's room last night. Yes, they had kissed on the dance floor and it was an amazing kiss but he didn't really want things moving this quickly because he didn't think that was what Danielle wanted. He personally didn't really care how fast they moved but Danielle seemed to want to take things slow and he was okay with that.

If anyone found out that he spent the night in Danielle's room, they probably wouldn't believe that they had only talked and nothing else. Danielle was a beautiful woman so no one would believe that Randy would only "talk" with her alone in her hotel room. They could believe anything they wanted but the truth of the matter was that Randy and Danielle had only talked and it was still one of the most amazing nights in Randy Orton's young life. Danielle was the type of person you could talk to for hours about anything and not even realize that you had been talking for that long. She just had a calming affect on him and he loved that about her. There were many other things he loved about her but this was one of his favorites.

The shower had stopped while Randy was lost in his thoughts and Danielle had come out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around herself thinking Randy would still be asleep. She was surprised to come out of the bathroom and find that Randy was wide awake and sitting on the bed deep in thought. He didn't even notice Danielle until she began to speak.

"Good morning sleepy head." Hearing Danielle made Randy jump slightly and then his jaw dropped when he saw that Danielle was only in a towel. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you and don't look at me like that. Its not like I'm naked."

"You didn't scare me, you just surprised me and good morning to you too. So…do you want to go out to breakfast with me."

"Randy Orton, we spent the entire night together and now you want to go out to breakfast?" She crossed her arms and gave him a disapproving look.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" He was shocked that she wouldn't want to go out to eat with him.

"Nothing, except that its lunch time." The disapproving look vanished and she laughed.

Randy smiled at Danielle's joking. "Okay, so do you want to go out to lunch with me?"

"Sure, just let me get dressed." Danielle headed to her bag to get some clothes.

"Well, you don't have to hurry. I'm going to go back to my room to shower and get dressed. Will you meet me down there in about a half and hour?"

"Yeah, sure. You know, I was going to suggest you do that because…well you're in the same clothes as last night so you know…" She gestured for Randy to come closer so she could tell him something. "…you kind of smell." Danielle said all of this with an expression of being really grossed out by how awful he smelled.

"Oh really?"

She smiled. "No, I'm just kidding with you."

"That's what I thought." He said with a grin. "I'll see you in a little bit." Then Randy walked out of the room.

Danielle went back to getting her clothes out of her bag and then got changed, did her hair, and put on little bit of make-up. That didn't take her very long so she decided to go see if Ric was up yet. She figured he was because he hadn't gone out last night like the rest of them. She wanted to see what Ric had planned for the day because they didn't have to go to the next city until tomorrow.

Danielle left her hotel room and knocked on Ric's hotel room door. His hotel room was right across from her hotel room. Ric answered the door right after her first knock. It was as if he was waiting for her to knock on his door.

"Good morning, Ric."

"Its 12:30 in the afternoon." He said as if he was very angry for some reason.

"Oh, sorry. Good afternoon, Ric." She said with a laugh.

"That's really not that funny Danielle. God, how late were you up last night anyways?" Ric seemed really angry and frustrated for some reason and Danielle had no idea what she had done to deserve this anger directed towards her.

"I don't know. I went to the club last night so I got back sometime early this morning. What's wrong with you?"

"You got back early this morning? So I guess your going to try and tell me that you came back to your room all by yourself?" Ric was practically yelling now.

"No, Randy came back with me and we talked and got to know each other."

"Oh, and I suppose you talked all night and that's why he spent the night." Ric was being very sarcastic.

"What's your problem? Have you been spying on me?" Danielle was really angry now because Ric didn't trust her.

"Danielle, I went to the club last night to see if you had taken my advice to give Randy a chance and apparently you did because when I got there you were making out with him on the dance floor."

"Actually, we were not making out. Yes, we kissed but that was it. It was just a kiss! What is your problem? You told me to get to know him." Danielle couldn't believe the way Ric was acting.

"Yeah Danielle, I said get to know him not spend the night with him in your hotel room." Ric couldn't believe Danielle would do something like that.

"OH, so now we are back to that again. NOTHING HAPPENED!" Danielle was fuming now. She was so angry at Ric for judging her like that.

"Sure, you had Randy Orton in your hotel room and nothing happened? I know Randy Orton and that doesn't sound very much like him. I may be your father Danielle but I'm not stupid."

"Yeah, your supposed to be my father, Ric. But, you're not my father. My father would believe me when I'm telling him the truth and you say you know Randy Orton but you don't know the first thing about him."

"And you do? You've known him for two weeks and for two of those weeks, you were avoiding him!"

Danielle knew he was right but she had an undeniable connection to Randy that Ric just could never understand. "You know your right, I don't know him that well but you know what? That is the same amount of time that I've been getting to know you. You expect me to jump right into a relationship with you but I can't with Randy? Talk about being a hypocrite." Danielle crossed her arms over her chest.

That comment really got Ric because Danielle was absolutely right but he still didn't think she should be moving so fast with Randy. "Danielle's that's different, I'm your father."

"We may be related by blood but I still can't call you my father especially after seeing how much you don't trust me."

Ric was softening now. He did believe her and he couldn't believe he had overreacted so much. "Danielle, you don't mean that. I am your father and I love you." Ric moved to give Danielle a hug.

Danielle was still extremely upset. She was way too pissed right now to listen to his apologies. She moved away from his embrace. "NO, I'm way too upset with you to forgive you that easily. I'm taking your rental and going for a drive so I can think." With that she grabbed the keys and walked towards the door. "Oh, and right now, you are not my father!" She stormed out of Ric's hotel room. This wasn't the first time she had been this upset walking out of Ric's room. Last time Randy had caught her he had been able to calm her down. Hopefully, he could do the same again.

Danielle didn't know where she was going to go but she knew she had to get out of the hotel and just think. She was supposed to have breakfast with Randy though so she decided to go and tell him that she wasn't really in the mood. By the time she got to Randy's hotel room she hadn't calmed down at all. Actually by this time she got there she was so angry and upset that she was starting to cry.

Randy answered the door, found Dani in the state she was in and immediately pulled her into a hug and brought her into his room.

"Dani, what's wrong?" Randy was very concerned. She was fine when he had seen her half an hour ago.

"I got in a huge fight with Ric. He saw us at the club kissing and he knew you spent the night in my hotel room. He immediately got the wrong idea and he thought I was moving too fast."

Randy was surprised. They were fighting about him. "Well…maybe he's right. I shouldn't have kissed you last night because we really do need to get to know each other better."

"No, don't say that. I don't regret anything from last night and I don't think it was a big deal that you stayed in my hotel room." Danielle was shocked why would he say something like that.

"Dani, he's your father. He has a right to be upset about something like that."

"But, nothing happened and when I tried to explain that to him he didn't believe me. God, why are you taking his side?" Danielle was pissed. She thought Randy would comfort her and instead he was taking Ric's side.

"I'm not taking anybody's side. I can just see why he would be upset. I mean we really haven't known each other that long."

"Yes, but even you admitted that we had a connection."

"Yes, we did but…"

"But what? You know what? I can't handle this right now from you too. I thought you would comfort me somehow but now I see you won't." Danielle began to leave.

"Dani don't go. Where are you going?"

"I just have to clear my head. I'm going for a drive."

"I really don't think you should be driving when you are this upset."

"Randy, don't try and tell me what to do. You have no right. Its not like you really care about me."

That comment hurt Randy a lot. "That's not true. I do care about you, I just thought we should take it slow for your sake." He went to grab her hand.

She pushed his hand away. "For my sake? Leave me alone." Danielle stormed out of another hotel room for the second time in one day. Randy couldn't believe he had taken Ric's side. He decided he had to go and talk to Ric. He didn't think he would ever be able to forgive himself if anything happened to Danielle.

An hour had passed with no word from Danielle. Randy had gone up to Ric's room and they had discussed what had happened and they were both sorry for things that had been said. At the moment they were just waiting and hoping to get a call from Danielle.

Danielle had been driving around for about an hour. She had definitely had some time to think and she was really sorry about some of the awful things she had said to Ric and to Randy. She decided that she had to call Ric and apologize.

Ric's cell phone rang and he quickly picked it up hoping that it was Danielle.

"Ric, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything I said, I was just upset. Tell Randy I'm sorry too. I know that he really does care about me and I know that you care about me too." Ric could tell that Danielle was crying while she was saying all of this.

"Danielle, honey, calm down, its not your fault. I shouldn't have said the things I said either."

"Ric, I'm just so sorry, its just…" After that Ric only heard screeching tires, Danielle screaming, and then the phone went dead.
