That following Monday on Raw, the fans saw Randy watching John Cena's match, but his eyes were really focused on Angel Devilson and how she was at ringside. When he saw her hug John and rose his hand in victory, Randy immediately got annoyed and shut off the TV so he did not have to see it anymore. He sighed lightly as he sat down on the couch and placing his face into his hands. He could not believe that Angel had gone to Smackdown and aligned herself with John Cena. He missed Angel terribly, she was his closest friend and she helped him to get through every week. He sighed lightly wondering if she was really happy on Smackdown and if she missed him at all. Suddenly he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder and when he looked up he saw Stacy staring down at him. He smiled as he said, "Hey beautiful." He gently pulled her into his lap and admired her with love.
"Hey sweet thing," said Stacy as she kissed him sweetly, "you OK? You seem out of it tonight."
Randy sighed lightly as he said, "I was thinking about Angel."
Stacy got annoyed when he mentioned he ex-manager but shook it off, "Angel? Your ex-manager, that Angel?"
"Yeah," said Randy, "I am wondering if she is happy on Smackdown."
Stacy sighed lightly as she said, "I am pretty sure that she is Randy, and she would want you to be happy on Raw. I mean that is part of the reason she went to Smackdown, she wants you to be happy with me. Come on baby, she felt that if she stayed as your manager, she would cause problems between you and me."
Randy sighed as he looked at Stacy's engagement ring and smiled, "Yeah I know, it's just that she is my friend and I want to make sure she is happy."
"I know baby, she is my friend too," said Stacy as she stroked Randy's cheek, "but don't worry about her, she is one tough cookie. She handled Evolution, I am sure that she can handle Cena and Smackdown."
"I guess so," said Randy and he smiled, "let's not talk about Angel, I know there is a reason you came to see me."
Stacy smiled as she said, "It's about the wedding."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, I was thinking that we should getting married next week right here on Raw."
Randy looked at her with confusion, "What did you say?"
"I said that we should get married next week on Raw."
"But sweetie, next week?"
"Yeah," said Stacy with some excitement, "what's wrong with next week?"
"Baby, we JUST got engaged last week. I am still not used to calling you my fiancée, and I think we should wait a little while before we get married."
"But honey, I don't want to wait to become your wife. I want to do it as soon as possible."
"Stacy…" When Randy looked into Stacy's brown eyes, he knew that he could not really refuse her, plus he wanted to marry Stacy more than anything. He loved Stacy with all his heart and soul, so he smiled as he said, "OK, I will make a deal with you, how about we get married in two weeks. That way it gives you time to find a wedding dress and I can get a tux and everything."
Stacy squealed of joy and hugged him tightly, "Thank you thank you thank you! You won't regret this! I am going to give you the best wedding possible." She kissed him sweetly and smiled, "I am going to go start planning now."
As Stacy was leaving Randy stopped her by saying, "Oh don't forget to invite Angel to the wedding."
Stacy turned around looking confused, "Invite Angel?"
"Yeah, I can't get married without her being there, after all she was my manager and my dearest friend."
Stacy was pissed, but shook it off since she did not want Randy to know her feelings toward Angel. "Of course," said Stacy with a smile, "I will make sure she is invited, talk to you later baby." With that she left the locker and when she was far enough away, she rolled her eyes as she said, "Make sure you invite Angel, I can't get married with her being there. My God! As if getting married to me was not enough! He wants to have the ex-manager there? HA! That is the last thing I am going to do." She then began to plan the wedding.
When Stacy left, Randy sighed as he looked up to the sky and said, "Two weeks, I am getting married in two weeks. What am I thinking? I just hope Angel will be there." Suddenly there was a knock on his door, "Come in."
Dave Batista entered the room with a smile on his face, "Hey Randy, how are you doing man?" They shook hands and Dave sat down next to him, "I just saw your very excited fiancée making her way down the hallway."
Randy smiled lightly as he said, "Yeah, Stacy and I are getting married two weeks from tonight on Raw."
"Wow, that soon?" Dave was surprised that they were getting married this soon.
"Yeah, Stacy wanted to get married next week, and I wanted to wait a few months, but we agree to do it in two weeks. Speaking of my wedding, Dave, you and I have been good friends since our days in OVW. Would you be my best man?"
Dave smiled as he said, "I would be honored to man." They hugged and Dave asked, "So is Angel going to be at this wonderful occasion?"
"I sure as hell hope so, I mean I can not get married without her." He sighed lightly as he looked away for a moment, "I just wished she was here to celebrate my happiness with me, hell I just wish she was still here on Raw and as my manager."
Dave noticed the sound of Randy's voice when he mentioned Angel, Dave and Angel were close friends since the days of Evolution. Although at first he saw her as a sex object, over time he and her got close. He knew that she was in love with Orton, and he remembered when she told him she was leaving for Smackdown.
FLASHBACK
Dave was sitting in the café surprised that Randy had proposed to Stacy, and the fact that Angel was not at the ring with Randy. He could not believe that he claimed that Stacy was the reason he had gotten through the match considering Stacy was no where near the ring that night. Just like everyone else, he thought he would mention Angel since she had been his manager since Evolution. Suddenly he noticed Angel making her way toward the parking lot, what got to him more was he saw the tears in her eyes. Suddenly he grabbed her arm to prevent her from leaving. "Hey," said Dave as he stood up, "what are doing? Where are you going?"
Angel sighed since she wanted to get out of there before anyone noticed she was gone, "I am leaving."
"But you are coming back right?"
Angel sighed, "No Dave, I am leaving Raw for good."
Dave was surprised at this news, "What? Why?"
Angel closed her eyes for a moment before she said, "Did you not just see what happened? Randy proposed to Stacy, so I am going to Smackdown so I don't cause problems between them."
Dave did not believe her for a minute, "What is the real reason? Come on Angel, I know you better than anything. I know for a fact that you are in love with Randy, and you are leaving so you don't have to see him married to Stacy."
Angel sighed as she looked at him, "Yeah, that is true."
"Don't you think you should tell him goodbye?"
"No, I can't do that."
"Angel-"
"Dave, I said no. I can't do that, OK? Look I will see you at the next joint paperview kay?" With that she walked away and Dave wondered how she was going to make it on Smackdown.
END FLASHBACK
Dave pushed that memory aside and looked at Orton, "You miss her don't you?"
"Yes I do," said Randy, "but what can I do? She is gone and I am getting married to Stacy in two weeks. Man I wish she was here, she has done so much for me and I still need her. Don't get me wrong, Stacy has been a good manager, but she is no Angel Devilson."
Dave looked at Randy and saw something in Randy's eyes when he talked about Angel, "Are you in love with Angel?"
Randy looked at Dave and said, "What! No! I love Stacy. I am marrying her in two weeks! I just miss Angel, she was my friend and the best manager in the world. There is no love involved!"
"All right all right," said Dave as he rose his hands, "just checking. Look I need to go, have a match against Kane. Talk to you later man." With that Dave left leaving Randy to think for a moment.
When Dave left Randy shook his head as he said, "I can not believe Dave would think I am in love with Angel. That is funny, me in love with Angel. I mean come on, I am set to marry Stacy Keibler, but if I am getting married to Stacy… why do I feel incomplete without having Angel with me?"
Later that night, Stacy was alone in her hotel room continuing to plan the wedding, she had her bridesmaid picked out, and the caterer all set and had the minister taken care of. She smiled lightly as she knew that her plans were coming together and she knew that the wedding was going to be a beautiful one, one no one would ever forget. Suddenly her cell phone rang and when she answered it, a devilish smile came on her on her face, "Hello? Hey you, yup everything is going according to plan. Angel is on Smackdown, and I just got Randy to agree to getting married in two weeks from tonight. So don't worry sweetie, once I get the wedding ring on my finger, our plan will come to full circle after we cost Orton the title." With that she hung up and then continued to plan her wedding and the bringing down of Randy Orton.
