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 that I have created. Hope you all enjoy.


Chapter 15 – Still Fighting the Feelings

The next morning Alex woke up to moonlight hitting her face. It was obviously still quite early in the morning and not the time to be getting up. When she first began to wake up she couldn't remember where she was. She felt an arm wrapped around her waist and this confused her even further. The arm wrapped around her was warm and comfortable, so she couldn't help herself from snuggling up to the body that this arm belonged to even more. The snuggling allowed Alex to fall back into a peaceful sleep.

Randy woke up a few hours later to sunlight streaming in the window and the smell of breakfast coming up from downstairs. He couldn't believe how well he actually slept. Then he realized that he had his arms wrapped around something. He opened his eyes and mentally kicked himself for what he saw. He had his arms wrapped securely around Alex. It wasn't that he minded, because he would die a happy man if he could do that every night of his life. The problem was that he still wasn't sure how Alex felt about him. They hadn't kissed yet and they really hadn't discussed how they felt, at least not with each other.

Randy slowly tried to ease his arms away from being around Alex. He didn't want to wake her up. It was too late though because Alex was already awake and very aware of how she woke up. She pretended like she was still sleeping though, because she didn't really want to talk to Randy about it. As soon as Randy got out of bed he left the room to go and take a shower. Once Randy left the room, Alex sat up and silently cursed herself for being so weak.

She didn't want to fall for Randy. She didn't want to have the feelings she was feeling. She didn't want to be weak. The problem was that no matter how much she didn't want these things, they were all very true and real. Alex knew that she had already fallen for Randy but she had to continue fighting it. She couldn't allow herself to get any closer to Randy because then it would make leaving even harder.

A little while later Randy came out of the bathroom after showering only to find Alex standing outside the door. Randy came out with only a towel wrapped around his waist and the sight made Alex weak all over again.

"Hey, I thought you'd still be sleeping." Randy said with a smile.

Alex gave him a weak smile as she was trying to avoid gawking at his body, that was to die for. "Nope, I woke up and now I'm taking a shower."

Before Randy could even say another word, Alex quickly made her way inside the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Randy just shook his head thoroughly confused by her actions and went into the room to get dressed. He came out a few minutes later fully clothed and headed downstairs to see what everyone else was doing. He walked down the stairs only to find Marc with his tongue down Michelle's throat. They were in the kitchen, and cooking at that.

"Can't people get a room?" Randy exclaimed.

Randy's outburst broke Marc and Michelle apart. Michelle started laughing and Marc just grinned. "Jeez, someone is a little grumpy this morning." Marc said with a laugh.

"He is just mad, that he didn't get any last night." Michelle said between laughs.

Randy's mouth dropped. "That's not true. Its just hard to sleep when everyone else is having sex like bunnies in this place." This comment caused Michelle to laugh even more. Then she went back to cooking breakfast. "Speaking of bunnies, where are John and Dez?"

"They went for a walk. They should be back shortly, just in time for breakfast." Marc answered. "Where is Alex?"

"She's upstairs taking a shower." Randy answered.

Marc went back to helping Michelle with breakfast, minus the making out in between. They figured they would spare Randy, since he didn't want to see that. Randy sat down at the table lost in his own thoughts.

"What do you think he is thinking about?" Marc whispered to Michelle.

"Hmm, I don't know…maybe that girl upstairs that he is crazy about." Michelle whispered back as she slapped Marc in the chest playfully.

Their laughing broke Randy out of his own thoughts which just so happened to be about Alex. "What are the two of you laughing about?"

"Nothing…nothing at all." Marc said with a sly grin on her face.

"Why don't I believe you?" Randy questioned.

"Because you are smarter than you look." Michelle said with a laugh.

"Hey!" Randy exclaimed as John and Desiree walked in the door from their walk.

"Hey, what?" John asked.

"Michelle basically just told Randy that he looks stupid." Marc said with a laugh.

"Well Michelle, that wasn't very nice." Desiree said while trying not to laugh.

Michelle just grinned and then hung her head. "I know, I'm sorry Randy. To make it up to you, Marc and I will stop having sex like bunnies."

"Hey!" Marc exclaimed. "I can't and won't agree to that." Everyone just started laughing at Marc's outburst. At the same time Alex came downstairs.

"Your just in time Alex because breakfast is ready." Michelle said with a smile.

Everyone sat down at the table and started eating. Michelle was an excellent cook so everyone was very pleased with the breakfast. The rest of the day was spent relaxing. Whether that meant going outside and laying on the dock, laying on the couch and watching movies, or walking down the road. They all did their own thing, hung out in groups, or were all together throughout the day. It was very relaxing and it was exactly what all of them needed.

Alex had told herself while in the shower that morning that she couldn't allow herself to get too close to Randy during the day. She loved hanging out with him but she didn't know if she could handle it and not get weak all over again. The problem was that as soon as she came downstairs and saw Randy, she couldn't help herself. They ended up hanging out together most of the day and just having fun talking and laughing.

That night, as Alex was laying in bed trying to fall asleep she was silently cursing herself for being so weak again. The next day she promised herself that she really was going to stick with it and not get too close. She couldn't allow herself to feel any more of a connection to Randy than she already felt because she would be leaving in a few days. She didn't want to fall any deeper for Randy if the truth was that she would never see him again. Finally Alex allowed herself to fall into a deep slumber, all the while trying to figure out how her life got so confusing.

At the same time, Randy was laying in bed thinking about Alex. He had to tell Alex how he felt about her. He didn't know how he was going to but he knew he had to. He had never had feelings like this for someone so quickly but he knew they were real. Alex was just a normal person who made Randy feel more normal. He didn't know what he was going to do but he knew he had to do something. Finally Randy dozed off, all the while thinking of Alex.

The next morning, Alex woke up only to find herself in Randy's arms again. Why is it that she always ended up there? She quickly got out of Randy's arms and out of bed without waking him up. Then she grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom to shower and get dressed. A little while later Alex came out fully clothed and jumped onto the bed to wake Randy up.

"Wake up, sleepy head. Don't we have to get going soon?"

Randy rolled over and groaned. "Don't you know, that isn't the way to wake someone up?"

"Well that's the way I wake you up." Alex said with a laugh. "So, get up."

"This was my time off. I should be able to sleep in." Randy said as he rolled back over so he could go back to sleep.

"I know it was your time off, but it is Friday morning so your days are up." Alex said as she shook him so he couldn't go back to sleep.

"Fine woman, I'll get up." Randy rolled out of bed and headed towards the bathroom to shower.

"That's better." Alex said with a grin.

After everyone had showered, eaten breakfast, and gotten all of their stuff together the crew headed out. The drive back to Boston seemed to go by even faster than the ride out had taken. Which was surprising considering the ride in didn't seem that long either. Once they got to the airport, good-byes were said. John and Randy had to go to a live show in Maryland so John was traveling with Randy and Alex. While in Maryland, John was going to be doing promotional stuff for his CD so Marc was coming too. Michelle was staying in Boston so she and Marc had to say good-bye. John and Desiree had to say good-bye too.

"Rae, why don't you just come too?" John questioned.

"John, you are going to be busy but I will come visit you on the road soon. We need to have a serious talk about what this is." Desiree smirked.

John just smiled back knowingly. "Yeah, I know. We'll talk soon." He kissed her on the cheek and then they parted ways.

"It was really nice to meet both of you." Alex said with a smile.

"Yeah, nice to meet you too." Michelle smiled back.

"I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon." Desiree said as she winked at Alex.

Alex just rolled her eyes at Desiree's antics. No matter what Desiree thought, Alex truly believed she wouldn't be seeing Desiree soon. Dez thought for sure that Alex and Randy would end up together but Alex…well, she was still fighting the feelings she was having for Randy.

Thanks you so much to all my reviewers. I had a whole heck of a lot for the last chapter and I was extremely excited about that. I hope all of you continue reading and enjoying. I'm sure I'm making some of you mad with my lack of kissing but…hmm, you'll all just have to deal with it cause I'm the author and they'll kiss when I want them to kiss…or maybe they won't. LOL. Just keep reading and reviewing and I'll try to update by next week. School has started so I will most likely only be updating once a week now. I love all of my reviewers so…so much. Thanks a lot!
