Disclaimer: I don't own anyone you recognize. I begged the Christmas and birthday fairies for Randy Orton and John Cena but they were a no go. I own the ideas used in this story and the main original characters of Corey and Teresa. I only own those because I am the writer. So please feel free to read and review.

Chapter 3

"Ok I obviously wasn't supposed to say anything but one of the main reasons that Marc didn't wanna go out with you was because you were too much of a tomboy. Seeing you like this…and acting the way you and Orton have been since you two met yesterday…Marc will be green with envy. I have to wonder what did you do to Orton?"

"What do you mean? I didn't do anything. I was myself."

"According to John you two were very affectionate publicly yesterday. Randy isn't like that with women."

Corey nodded her head knowing Teresa knew from experience when the two had tried to date previously a year or so ago…tried being the key word.

"Like I said Reese…I didn't do anything. Besides it will all change when he finds out who my dad is."

Teresa nodded sadly, linked her right arm with Corey's left arm, and headed inside. When the two girls made it into the back yard they were met with eerie silence. Corey tugged a little at the bottom of her shirt feeling completely nervous for the first time around all her friends.

"CC?"

Corey looked up at her best friend, smiled weakly, and nodded. John smiled and pulled her in for a hug.

"You look beautiful CC."

"You're obligated to say that cause we're so close."

"But we're not and I agree with John one hundred percent."

Corey looked up and met Randy's gaze.

"Really?"

"Really."

Corey smiled and placed her hand in Randy's. The two walked over to two chairs and had a seat. John looked at Teresa and noticed her watching the two. He was so nervous in front of her at this moment. He really did like Teresa but there was so much on the line. The friendships of him and Randy, Teresa and Corey, and Teresa and him could all be ruined.

"Randy can I ask you a question and you answer honestly?"

"Sure Corey."

"Would you be mad at John if he asked out Reese?"

"Reese?"

"Teresa…I call her Reese."

Randy looked over at them where they were sitting closely together. He couldn't believe he never noticed the attraction between the two. It seemed so obvious now.

"He really likes her doesn't he?"

"Yeah. I think he's just too worried about ruining friendships if he does. Yall's friendship is one that worries him as much as the possibility of ruining his and hers."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Well I can understand that. Teresa and I weren't ever really serious though. We were just two different. Plus she liked someone else. I could tell. I just didn't know it was John. If he wants to ask her out I won't be mad."

Corey nodded and placed a kiss on Randy's cheek before standing up. As she was about to walk away Randy gently took a hold of her hand.

"Leavin me already?"

"No I just need to go talk to John."

"Did John know you were askin me that?"

"Nope."

Randy nodded and watched her walk off. Later that night, close to midnight, Randy again watched Corey go inside to talk to John again. Randy and Corey had been talking all day and through the night. They were both a little done with the party so they were gonna go talk in the room he was staying at there.

"Don't fuck with her."

Randy looked to his left and noticed John's cousin Marc Predka aka Trademarc sitting next to him.

"Excuse me?"

"Don't fuck with CC. She's been fucked with enough. If you don't really care about her like everyone around her thinks you do…then leave her the fuck alone."

"Sounds like someone's jealous."

"I might be a lot of things but that ain't one. I'll admit I fucked up when I had the chance with her. That woman has been through more than enough heartbreak. She doesn't need some pretty boy like you coming to break her heart all over again."

Randy stood up and glared down at the man.

"You need to mind your own fuckin business. Corey is a grown woman. I know she can take of herself. She doesn't need you comin to play big bad man for her. Although maybe that's what you're hopin for. You want me to hit you so she'll get mad at me and come runnin to you."

Randy knew by the look on the other man's face he'd hit the head of the nail dead center.

"You might wanna get outta my site before I do just that."

Corey noticed John wasn't paying attention to her anymore and looked over to where he was looking outside. She noticed the scene going on and walked outside to where the two men stood.

"What the hell is goin on here?"

Marc could tell by the way she'd looked at Randy and acted towards him that she liked him. So he did what he thought was best even though it wasn't what he wanted. He brought his arm backwards and punched Randy in the stomach.

"Marc!"

Corey looked at Randy and could tell he was in a little pain even though he was trying to play it off. She pulled him inside and upstairs to the room he was staying in.

"Take it off."

Randy couldn't help but smirk at her.

"Isn't this a little too fast?"

"Wanna be hit again? I need to look at where he hit you."

Randy nodded and lifted up his t-shirt exposing his abs. He watched as Corey subconsciously licked her lips and it made him want to pull her to him for a kiss. There was still too much he didn't know about her though for him to do that. Corey slowly placed her hand on the area that was starting to slowly bruise. She softly ran her hand across it and heard him gasp. She drew her hand away quickly thinking she'd hurt him.

"I'm so sorry Randy."

Randy laughed and pulled her back towards him. Corey looked down at him as she stood in between his legs.

"Corey you didn't hurt me."

"Why you'd pull back a little and wince then?"

Randy looked down at the floor and rubbed his neck.

"You know how you hear in the movies or in those romance novels you woman read that the leading actor and actress felt sparks when they touched?"

"Yeah…"

"Ok that was corny…"

Corey placed her finger underneath his chin making him look up at her.

"Randy…it wasn't corny. I know it took a lot for you to say that."

"You've been warned about me huh?"

"Nah just got a few questions answered by John."

Randy nodded and was surprised when she leaned down and placed a kiss on his lips. He pulled her down to sit in his lap after a few moments. The next morning, Corey awoke to find she was the only one in bed. She pulled on one of Randy's shirt and a pair of boxers she saw sitting on top of his bag and walked downstairs to the kitchen. She heard her dad's ring name mentioned and stopped outside the kitchen door.

"You want to go after 'Taker again? Are you nuts?"

"No I'm not. Man I gotta do this. They're already setting the storylines up."

"What about Corey? What's she think about this?"

Randy sat looking at John confused. He didn't understand why it'd matter. Corey decided at that moment to enter the kitchen. Randy looked up and smiled at her. He pulled her to sit on his lap and placed a kiss on her neck.

"So you two?"

"Are together."

Corey looked at Randy in surprise. She hadn't expected that and by the look on John's face she wasn't the only one. When Randy left the room to make a phone call, John looked at her.

"He's takin' it well."

"Huh?"

"You bein Mark's daughter. He's takin it well."

Corey put her head down ashamed of herself for not telling him. She was so afraid he wouldn't want anything to do with her if he knew.

"CC you didn't tell him did you?"

"I can't Felix. If I tell him he won't want anything to do with me."

"You don't know that."

"You're right I don't…but I don't know that he'll stay either."

Three months later, Corey was backstage at a Smackdown event with John and Teresa. Since John had an off day he'd decided to come see some old friends. Corey knocked on Randy's locker room door and entered the room. Randy was sitting there wearing a black button up shirt and gray slacks since he was only doing a promo tonight. Randy smirked as he watched her subconsciously lick her lips as she made her way over to him. He pulled her onto his lap and pulled her in for a kiss.
