Chapter 7

"She's what?" Dawn Marie gasped, a smile evident on her lips.

"You heard me," Lita nodded, "your not going to tell anyone are you. I see you as a friend Dawn and only you, Chris and I know what's going on, besides the two themselves, and maybe John Cena might know something."

Dawn nodded, "of course not, what are friends for?"

No sooner than had Lita left did Torrie Wilson and Stacey Keibler entire the locker room, "guys you'll never believe what I just heard," she grinned, she couldn't help herself she loved to gossip.

Riley hadn't seen Chris very often over the past week, she had told him she wanted some distance for a little while.

She entered the cafeteria, heading straight for where John, Randy, Dave, Hunter and Trish were all in discussion.

As she passed through the tables she began to notice that people were staring at her whispers of her name could be heard.

She was confused as she passed by a table where the majority of Diva's were sitting, several giggled and sneered.

As Riley looked back to the table she was headed she attempted to ignore the whispers.

She noticed Randy was getting many of the same looks, and he was staring very intently at the table before him.

Trish scooted over to allow room for her between herself and Hunter. Dave sitting opposite Hunter, John across from Trish and Randy across from her.

Randy's eyes met her's and she knew immediately, someone had seen them, someone had told the entire locker, but who?

Chris entered the cafeteria moments later, he spotted her and walked over grabbing her hand and pulling her out of her chair, "there's a seat for you at my table."

He half dragged her over to the table where he was going to sit with Christian, Lance Storm, William Regal and the two Hardy Boys.

Riley was forced into a seat between Chris and Matt.

She could feel everyone watching her, she looked up glancing at Christian across from her, her blew her a mocking kiss.

Her eyes feel back to the table as Matt leaned slightly closer to her, "are the rumours true?" he asked in an undertone.

"That's exactly what I would like to know," Chris stated.

"I don't even know what the rumours are," Riley said, sarcasm dripping in her voice.

"I heard from Jeff who heard from Edge who heard from… Brock Lesnar, who heard from… who was it?" Matt asked his brother.

"Sable," Jeff replied.

"who heard from Torrie who heard from Dawn that you are having an affair with Randy behind Chris's back," Matt explained.

"Anything that comes out of Dawn's mouth is nothing but lies," Riley shrugged, "Dawn's only goal is to climb the social ladder and that means turning everyone against anyone who might stop her from getting there."

"Is it true?" Chris asked again.

She turned to her Fiancée, "Chris you know that I would never cheat on you. I'm not that sort of person. We both know that Randy's feelings for me are more than that of friends, but mine are not the same."

Chris smiled, "I knew Lita had to be making it all up."

A frown grew on her face, "Lita?"

Chris nodded, "she saw you and Randy holding hands last week."

"Randy and I don't hold hands," Riley snapped. She turned slightly, her eyes catching on the table in which Lita was sitting with a few other Diva's, including Dawn, "If you'll just excuse me for a moment."

She stood walking over to the Diva's table, when she reached there she stood behind the red head as her 'best friend' turned around to face her, "Hey Riles."

"My name is Riley, only my friends can call me Riles, and you seem to be no such thing," the brunette snapped.

Lita stood up to face her, "what are you talking about?"

"You making accusations that I'm having an affair with Randy. Your suppose to be my best friend!" Riley yelled.

Lita look about to say something, when Riley slapped the taste out of her mouth, "Now I'm going to go see Eric Bishoff and you can expect to see me in the ring tonight."

Riley then stormed out of the cafeteria, slamming the door behind her.

Lita was still in shock from the events earlier that evening when Riley had slapped her in front of the entire RAW roster in the Cafeteria.

As Riley's music began to play Lita watched as the brunette entered the arena, Chris accompanying her.

Riley climbed into the ring and know sooner than did she attack Lita.

Lita had difficulty at first, she could hardly get in a move as Riley would take any chance to attempt to choke her out before the five count, pull her hair and thumb her in the eye.

Chris didn't interfere at all and instead watched intently.

Lita managed to pull out a drop kick before beginning her attack.

Riley didn't have the experience that she had in the ring, Riley may be able to execute powerful moves but when it came to defending herself from the attack she lacked the knowledge.

Soon she saw the opportunity to execute her moonsault.

As she climbed to the top of the turnbuckle she flipped backwards and executed it perfectly. She then went for the pin but just as the three count was about to be announced she was pulled off of Riley, and a boot rushed down into the small of her back.

She managed to roll onto her back as she was lifted off the ground. John Cena picked her up on his shoulders as he executed his new finisher, the FU.

Lita screamed in pain as she hit the ground.

Randy Orton then picked her up, "You ok Lita?" he asked mocking concern, before he hit his also new finisher, the RKO.

In the corner of the ring the referee was recovering from the blow that John Cena had given to the back of his head upon entering the ring.

Randy helped Riley to cover Lita as John revived the referee and dragged him so he could announce the count.

The two men then exited the ring standing on the outside.

Across the other side of the ring Chris watched, his jaw twitching slightly.

1…2…3!

"The winner of this match is… RILEY CENA!"

Randy and John re-entered the ring to hold up Riley's arms in victory.

Chris climbed into the ring and immediately Randy let go of Riley's arm as Chris and himself came nose to nose.

Few words were exchanged before it began once again, as the two men attempted to get the upper hand.

Riley grabbed Chris's arm attempting to pull him away as John held Randy back forcefully.

"Chris cut it out," she yelled attempting to hold him back.

When he managed to pull out of her grip she had only one idea in mind to stop him from pounding Randy. She grabbed his long blonde hair pulling him back, "I said stop it!"

Chris grabbed her wrist tightly forcing her to let go, he glared at her his jaw twitching as he held in whatever he was fighting not to say.

"You want to say something don't you Chris?" she asked, "well say it, speak your mind for once… its not going to kill you!"

He continued to hold it in.

"I liked you better when you were just getting on everyone nerves. I liked you better as the King of the World or whatever you use to call yourself back then, when you weren't trying to be something that your not," she yelled at him before she turned and left the ring, kicking the steel steps on the way out.

Mizz Kaitlyn – I got your message, and since you were wondering my birthday is actually April 21. Originally Riley's birthday was going to be the same as mine but then I decided to have it later just so she would be a bit more younger than Randy. Thankyou so much for message, and it is really good to know that someone likes what I'm writing, because then I will write more often. Anyways, you said you were from Australia, same as me, What state are you from? cause I'm a brizzy girl, LOL. Anyways, thankyou so much for replying.

& to everyone else: please reply, because I love it when you guys do. Even if its negative, as long as its sensible like grammer or I've got some facts wrong. The only type of negative reply's I don't like are when people complain about couples or storylines, if you have a problem with a story, then why are you reading it?

Finally, this story is nearing its end… but never fear, there will be a sequel. What is coming you might ask? Well all I tell you is at Wrestlemania 19 it will be Randy verses Chris. The sequel will begin the night after on RAW.

Oh and one last thing, anyone who has read Since U Been Gone, another sequel to this story I have decided to cut it. Instead there will be a sequel call, 'Catch me when I fall' (just like the debut song of Riley's – by Ashlee Simspon). This story I am expecting to be extremely sad (hopefully) and I don't know when I will get it up as currently I am only writing what went on in 2003 when this story occurs either late 2006 or earl/midway 2007.

OK, I'll keep writing!

Love you guys!

Kaity.
