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 13 – Welcome to Maine

Once the plane got to California, Alex and Randy went right to the appearance and autograph signing. Randy sat down at a table and signed hundreds and hundreds of things. Alex hung back and just watched. The line of people went all the way out the door and around the street corner. It was crazy but Alex had a lot of fun seeing all of the people who were fans of Randy. He was definitely a popular man but she understood that since she was a fan too. After a couple of hours the signing was over with. Randy and Alex grabbed a bite to eat before heading back to the airport. Randy called John from the airport and told him of their plans to take a flight to Boston over night and arrive there the following morning. John said that would be great and as soon as they got there, they could all drive up to Maine.

The flight from California to Boston was definitely long, to say the least. It wasn't too bad though because it was overnight so both Randy and Alex slept for most of the flight. Alex found sleep to be a blessing because she still hadn't gotten used to flying yet. The plane landed in Boston around 8:30 Wednesday morning. John was waiting at the airport for them when they arrived. Alex and Randy got off of the plane, grabbed their luggage, and immediately saw John standing at the other end of the airport. There was a woman standing next to him. She had long wavy blonde hair that went down to the middle of her back and she had hazel colored eyes. She looked to be about 5'2 so she was definitely on the short side.

"Hey, there they are." John said to the woman as he finally noticed Alex and Randy walking across the airport. "Hey, I'm glad you two could come."

"Yeah, it should be a fun little break." Randy replied with a shrug. "Who is your friend?"

"John didn't tell you." The woman glared at John. "Hi, my name is Desiree but you can both just call me Dez. It is so nice to finally meet you Randy. John has told me so much about you. Alex he's told me a couple of things about you too."

"Only nice things, I hope." Alex laughed.

Desiree laughed too. "Of course."

"Sorry Rae, it must have slipped my mind to tell them that you were coming too."

"Wait." Randy said with a laugh. "This is the infamous Rae?"

"The one and only." John said with a laugh.

"What is the laugh for? John, what did you tell Randy about me?" She crossed her arms and glared at John.

"Only good things, I swear." John held up his hands.

"I don't believe you." Rae said glaring even more.

"You know me way to well." John then noticed the confused look on Alex's face. "Sorry Alex, you really don't know anything about Rae. I've told Randy stories about Rae but he has never met her. Rae and I have been friends forever."

"That is the understatement of the century." Rae laughed. "We were friends even when we were babies. Our mom's where really good friends and they always made us hang out together. At first we didn't know any better but then we became friends and actually wanted to hang out. I don't know what I was thinking."

"Hey!" John exclaimed.

"Its really nice to meet you Dez, right? Why does John call you Rae?" Alex outstretched her arm to shake Desiree's hand.

Desiree took Alex's hand and shook it. "Yeah, all my other friends call me Dez. Everyone except John. He likes to be unique so he has always called me Rae."

"Oh, okay."

The four of them then headed out to the car. Marc and his girlfriend, Michelle were already in one car. John, Desiree, Alex, and Randy piled into the other car. "Marc and Michelle will follow us up. The drive isn't too long because the lake is right near the southern tip of Maine across the border from New Hampshire."

"Good, after that plane ride, I don't think I want to be in a car for very long." Randy stated.

John was correct in saying the drive wouldn't be too long. It only took about 2 and a half hours for the two cars to drive up to the "camp". If that's what you called it. It wasn't really a camp though it was more like a second house. You could also call it a summer residence. As they went inside Alex noticed that the layout was very nice. The bottom floor was all open with a huge kitchen, dining area, and living area with a big TV. The only room not open to the rest of the house on the bottom floor was a bathroom. The views of the lake from the house were gorgeous. From the house Alex could see that there was a dock, a boat, and a boat house down by the water. With further investigation she found that the upstairs had 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. Alex was kind of surprised actually because there was only 3 rooms and each room just had big bed in each of them. That started Alex on wondering what the sleeping arrangements would be like while they were here.

John came up the stairs behind Alex and Randy and saw the confused look on Alex's face. "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that too. There are only three beds. I didn't think the two of you would mind sharing a room."

"Well…" Randy started.

"Its fine…really." Alex cut Randy off. "Right?" Alex turned to ask Randy.

Randy held up his arms. "If you say so."

"Alright then. Are you two hungry? We could have some early lunch and then head out on the boat." John asked Randy and Alex.

"Yeah, that sounds good. We'll just get settled and be right down." Randy replied while Alex nodded her head in agreement.

"Alright." John went downstairs leaving Alex and Randy alone in the upstairs hall. They walked into the room they were going to be sharing. Randy wasn't exactly sure how Alex really felt about this whole situation. She had agreed to the sleeping arrangements but Randy wasn't sure if she was really okay with them.

"Are you sure this is alright?" Randy questioned Alex.

Alex was starting to hang some clothes in the closet. Upon hearing Randy's question she just smiled to herself. Sharing a bed with Randy Orton? What could be better? In Alex's opinion not much. The problem was that Alex did have feelings for Randy but she was trying to fight them. She knew that Randy had feelings for her too based on his drunken confessions. This made her a little leery to share a bed with him. She wasn't worried about what Randy would do. She was worried about what she would do.

"Alex?" Randy questioned Alex again which broke her out of her thoughts.

"I'm sorry Randy. I was just thinking about something. Yeah, this is fine." She shrugged her shoulders like it was nothing. "We are two adults traveling together for a week. I'm sure we can handle sleeping in the same bed."

"Alright, I'm fine with it as long as you are."

"Don't worry, I am. I am so excited too. I love boating. Ah heck…I love the water in general." Alex had a huge grin on her face.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I always have. I've been swimming for as long as I can remember. My grandparents had a camp on a lake that they used to take us too when I was younger. We would swim and boat all day. It was great."

"I'm sure that's a nice memory for you."

"Yeah." There was an awkward pause between the two of them. They tended to have these a lot. They would be talking and going on fine and then neither one of them would know what to say. They both had so many things to say to each other but neither would admit to themselves the truth. "So are you ready to join everyone downstairs?"

"Yeah, definitely. After you." Randy motioned towards the door.

Alex just laughed and walked out into the hall and down the stairs with Randy close behind her. They came downstairs to find Desiree cooking and John getting in the way. Marc and Michelle were snuggled up together on the couch watching TV. They were a very cute couple and Alex couldn't help but be jealous of the relationship the two of them had.

"Desiree is an amazing cook." John said.

"Of course I am." Desiree laughed. "Its a lot harder though with you in my way."

John held up his hands in defeat. "Fine, woman, I'll get out of your way." John walked out of the kitchen and sat in a chair to watch TV with Marc and Michelle.

"Finally!" Desiree laughed as John gave her an evil glare. "It'll probably be a little while before I finish cooking." Desiree explained to Randy and Alex.

"Oh that's fine." Alex replied. "I wanted to go down to the lake anyways."

"Mind if I join you?" Randy asked Alex with a smirk.

"I suppose I could put up with you." She laughed. "I have so far."

Randy just laughed as the two of them walked down to the lake. Alex took a seat at the edge of the dock and Randy sat down next to her. They just sat there for a while in silence but then Alex decided to break the silence.

"So, what is going on with John and Dez's relationship? It seems like a little bit more than friendship."

"You noticed, huh? Yeah, they definitely have an interesting relationship. As far as I know they really have been friends forever. From what John has told me they dated in high school but then decided they were better as friends. Even after they dated they remained friends but now they have benefits. They may not be dating, but whenever they both aren't dating anyone they spend some quality time together."

Alex raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Oh, I see." She nodded her head slightly. "That's interesting. They seem perfect for each other, so why don't they just date?"

"I really don't know. I guess they prefer the friends with benefits relationship they have now."

"I guess so." Alex looked back at the water and an awkward silence engulfed the two of them again.

"Alex?" Randy questioned causing Alex to raise her head an look at him. "What is our relationship?"

Alex was surprised by his question. She wondered herself but was shocked that he initiated the conversation. "Randy, I don't know." She gave him a weak smile. "I will admit that I am attracted to you. Ever…"

Randy put his finger to her lips to silence her. "That's all I wanted to know." Then he leaned in to kiss her. Alex saw him leaning in. Her brain was screaming for her to stop before anything happened but her heart was telling her to go for it. Before there lips could touch though, John screamed down from the house that lunch was ready. It immediately caused Randy and Alex to stop what they were doing. Alex gave Randy a weak smile in somewhat of an apology and then got up and walked towards the house. Randy sat there a few extra seconds silently cursing himself for moving to slow. Then he stood up and followed Alex into the house. Some time soon Randy was bound and determined to finish what he and Alex had started. For now though, it was time to eat.
