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 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 original characters and the storyline which I have created. Hope you all enjoy.

Chapter 12 – Seeing Through Your Act

"Look man, before you even say anything, I need to apologize to Alex." John turned towards Alex and took her hands in his. "Alex, I am so sorry. I was drunk and way out of line."

"John, don't worry about it. I was upset at first, but I'm over it now. I realize that you were drunk and people do stupid things when they are drunk."

"So, can we start over and be friends?"

Alex got a little expression on her face like she was thinking really hard over the decision. Then she just smiled and laughed. "Of course, I would like that very much as long as you don't try and kiss me again."

"I promise I won't…that is unless you ask me to" He said with such a smirk that it showed off his ever so cute dimples.

"Which will never happen…except in your dreams." She said while playfully slapping his arm. The silence that followed was awkward to say the least. Alex decided that the two of them just needed a private time to talk. "Randy I'm going to go down and wait for you in the lobby. I think you and John need to talk."

"Alright, I'll see you down there in little while." After Alex walked away, Randy entered John's hotel room. Neither of them knew what to say.

Randy was rubbing the back of his neck while trying to figure out what to say. "Look, I'm really sorry for punching you." He decided to just go straight to the point.

"Randy, its alright, if Alex hadn't have gotten you out of there, I would have punched you too. We were just both really drunk."

"Yeah, I know, but I don't want any weirdness between me and you over Alex."

"Man, don't worry about that. I think I've ruined any chance I had with her even though I didn't really want a chance with her to begin with. Last night was just me flirting and having fun. Its obvious you both like each other so I'm not going to get in the middle of that."

"Thanks John. We are friends and I didn't want to have to compete for her against you."

"Yeah, I know. You would have lost." John replied being very serious about it.

Randy just laughed. "Okay John, keep telling yourself that."

"Hey, do you have the next couple of days off?" John changed the subject.

"I have to go to California for an appearance and a quick signing but then I have Wednesday and Thursday off."

"So what are you and Alex doing on your days off?"

"We haven't really talked about it." Randy shrugged his shoulders. "I figured I would just take her back to St. Louis and show her around."

John nodded. "That could be fun but I have a better idea."

"Really?"

"Yeah, the next couple of days I have off too and I was planning on going up to a camp my family has in Maine. It is right on a lake so we could get a little boating action in. Its really nice and very relaxing up there. I invited Marc and his girlfriend up so I was wondering if you and Alex wanted to come up."

"That could be interesting. I'll see what Alex thinks and then I'll call you when we get to California."

"Alright, its always a blast up there so if the two of you decide to come, you'll definitely have fun."

"Okay, well I have to go get Alex so we can catch our flight." Randy started to leave John's hotel room. "I'll talk to you later."

"See ya. Tell Alex I said sorry again."

"Alright, bye man."

"Bye." John shut the door behind Randy. He was really hoping that Randy and Alex would decide to come. He knew they would have fun. He kind of wanted to make it up to Alex for the way he had acted at the club.

Randy left John's hotel room and headed down to the lobby to find Alex. He found her sitting there in the lobby chatting with Alan and Greg. Alex had gotten a lot more comfortable with the two of them. She had especially seemed to have a connection to Alan recently but Randy didn't know why.

"Hey, ready?" Randy asked Alex as he walked up to her.

"Yup, how was your conversation with John?" Alex said as she grabbed her bags and they headed out to the rental car to drive to the airport.

"It went fine. I'll tell you about it later."

"Okay, what is that supposed to mean?" She cocked her eyebrows slightly wondering what Randy had up his sleeve.

"You'll see." He said with a smirk.

"Ugh, I hate when you do that. You get my attention and then make me wait. You're so mean." She said with a laugh.

"Yeah, I know but that's what you like about me." He stated with a knowing nod.

"What makes you think I like you?" She cocked her eyebrows ever so slightly again.

"Oh, I know."

"You're so cocky." Alex playfully slapped his arm and then they both got in the car.

"You like it." Randy casually replied.

Alex just rolled her eyes. She knew he was right. She did like his cocky attitude. It was one of the things that attracted her to him. His character was extremely cocky and Randy himself did have some of that same cockiness, it just wasn't quite as much. He just had to be so cute with his little attitude and his good looks. It made it so hard to resist the urges she was having. Alex was extremely attracted to Randy. She always had been but she had been controlling herself. It was getting harder and harder though.

By the time that they got to the airport, through security, and on the airplane, Randy still hadn't told Alex about his conversation with John. Alex really wanted to know what was said too.

"Would you just tell me already?" She finally said.

"What are you talking about?" Randy asked to make it seem like he had no idea what Alex was talking about.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about so don't play dumb with me. I can see right through that act of yours." She said as she poked him in the chest playfully.

"Oh really?" He cocked his eyebrow slightly as if in challenge to Alex.

"Yeah, you know I'm talking about that thing you promised to tell me about. You know about the conversation you had with John. I know something was said about me so I want to know." She crossed her arms to show how determined she was to get it out of him.

"And what makes you think that you are so special as to grace our conversation?" Randy crossed his arms to mimic Alex's actions.

"Oh please, the two of you literally fought over me while you were drunk and you're going to try and tell me that I wasn't even mentioned."

"Alright you caught me." Randy raised his hands in defeat and Alex just smirked. "John did say to tell you he was sorry again."

Alex's smirk faded. "Very funny Randy. What else was said?"

"You are a very nosy woman. You know that?"

"Yeah, I know, so spill because I won't give up."

"Fine, we apologized, we are fine, and John invited us to Maine."

"What?"

"I said we apologized, we are fine…" Alex cut him off before Randy could finish his sentence again.

"Yeah I heard you dumbass. I meant what is this about John inviting us to Maine?" She said very exasperated by Randy's behavior.

"Okay, okay, no need to be rude." He laughed. Alex just glared at him so he would answer her as soon as possible. "I told John about how we have Wednesday and Thursday off and he was hoping we would go up there and hang out with him at a camp that his family has in Maine. John's cousin Marc and his girlfriend are going up too."

"What is the other option?"

"We could just go back to St. Louis and I could show you around there."

"Maine sounds like more fun."

"I couldn't agree more. I told John I would talk to you about it and then call him when we got to California. We could probably do this signing real quick and have a night flight back to Boston tonight."

"That would probably be the best. So that was really all you talked about? Apologies and this Maine trip?"

"Yup, that's it."

Alex looked at him trying to figure out if he was lying. For once she couldn't read him. She couldn't tell if he was lying or telling the truth. She did know one thing though, even though she couldn't read him, she didn't believe him one bit. You don't fight over a girl one night and then the next day not say anything about her or how you feel. This trip to Maine could be her chance to see how Randy and John really felt about her. She was getting excited all ready. This week-long trip was taking her body and emotions places she never dreamed they would be. She had to admit though, she was definitely enjoying herself.
