Chapter 2
It was only a kiss
"What the hell!"
That did it. That broke the kiss. 'Damn we have been caught.' She too quickly pulled away like we had never touched. She tucked one long strand of blonde hair behind her ear. "Paul how nice to see you," I said cocking an eyebrow.
"Need I even ask?" Paul said as he shut the door. I watched him and his cat like moves glide smoothly over to where we were standing. He crossed his arms as if he were about to scold his children.
"I hope not but I am sure you will," I felt the cold demeanor that she had melted away, start to run icy again.
Paul grinned. I felt almost like he was taunting me. "Oh I will ask Orton. This really doesn't surprise me about you. But you" He turned to look at her " ... wonder what Dave will think when he finds out about this? You naughty little girl..." I watched him taught her. She just stared back at him tears beginning to come to the surface. She was hurt and I had caused it. Isn't it funny how you regretted your own thoughts at times. I wish I could take the pain away.
"Paul it's not what you think..." she started with tears running down her face. I started to wipe them away but it wasn't my place. So I watched them fall to an ungrateful ground, as Paul smirked.
"So you weren't kissing Romeo Randy here?" Paul walked around her with the smirk that was becoming one that I wanted to slap off of his arrogant face. He stopped right in front of her. "It sure looked like a kiss to me, if it's not a kiss, then can I taste Dave's goods too?" He started to lean into her. She was too quick for him. Her hand, the one that had went for my face, raised quickly and made contact with the side of Paul's cheek. I laughed. I loved it when she was feisty, most of the time she was so calm, so sweet. Paul stumbled back in shock. She looked at me, I thought that I saw a slight smile play off her lips.
"You bitch," Paul lunged for her. Once again, not fast enough. I slid in front of her.
"No, no Pauly, we don't hit ladies," I said taunting him back.
"Wait till I tell Dave about this," He said as a bright red mark begin to swell on his face.
All I could feel after that was her put her hands on my waist and gently move me aside. From her sheer touch I almost fainted. 'Damn butterflies, get a hold of yourself Randy, now is no time to lose your inhabitations.'
"Paul, please don't tell Dave. It was really nothing. I got carried away in the moment. Don't hurt Dave that way," she stepped in front of me. I'm not sure what I had expected with the kiss. Had I been so delusional to think that she would just leave Dave? I mean I don't believe in fairy tales, those are for women, but hadn't I expected something.
"There is a price with everything, my dear," Paul smirked. Then he turned to me. "It's really up to Orton."
"What's your game Paul? What are you wanting to play?" I asked.
"Orton you have one thing that I crave, the one thing that could put me back in control, but it all depends on how much you want to protect her," he said crossing his arms. He wanted the title shot that I earned. Why couldn't it have been anything else? If I give him this, he will know how much I care about her. If I don't then all hell will break loose for her and me.
"I earned that Paul, and you damn well know it," I spat. "If you couldn't beat Chris the first 5 times what makes you think that you can this time? You forget this is all written into the script. I can't change it even if I agreed to this." I said even though I knew that they would just change the script if Eric said the word.
"Come off it Orton, you know scripts can be changed. But it is up to you…Dave will be here any minute so you may want to deliberate fast," He crossed his arms and leaned causally against the lacquered back table where our drinks were still sweating. I looked at her. Maybe I wanted her to tell me not to do it. But all I saw in her eyes was desperation. I should just tell them all to go to hell. I looked at Paul who smirked again. Then I looked at her pleading eyes.
As I was getting ready to give my decision, the door swung open. Dave appeared in the doorway. He stopped when he saw the intense look on all our faces. "Whoa guys, who died?" You could cut the tension with a knife. No one said a word. "What's the matter why is everyone so intense?" He looked from her, to Paul, to me.
"No reason Big Guy, I am not feeling well, I am just going to head back to the hotel. You guys have a lovely evening… Oh and Paul the deal, that we were talking about, it's yours," I grabbed my suit jacket and headed out the door.
It was only a kiss
It had felt like I had lost it all in that one quick moment. I had lost my chance to be the youngest 'World' Title holder in history, I had lost the girl that I never had, and I had lost my pride. I pushed my way through the crowds of people. I mindlessly got into the car and even more mindlessly drove to the hotel. That was the last thing that I remembered, before slipping into a restless sleep on the sofa of my hotel room.
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now there're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Letting me go
