Chapter 3 – Forgot To Remember You.
"Yeah I guess you could say Smackdown's been keeping me pretty busy these days so I don't have much time for social events," the man said nodding.
"Whoa that's not the Randy Orton I used to know." Trish laughed sounding surprised.
"Hey believe it or not but I've changed in the last ten months since I last spoke to you," Randy held his hands up defensively.
"Yeah I bet you have." Trish raised an eyebrow suspiciously.
Randy rolled his eyes and walked closer to Trish who was now trying to put her shoes back on but having no luck carried them over her shoulder as she and Randy began to walk Trish still in search of either Mickie or Ashley. As they walked the pair caught up with each other. It had been ten long months since they had last seen each other as Randy had been injured at WrestleMania last April with his shoulder and when he had come back Trish had been out with her back. Finally when Trish came back to RAW in August Randy had been drafted to Smackdown so neither had seen or talked to each other since the show after WrestleMania.
"So how's life on RAW?" Randy asked glancing over at a quiet Trish.
"Oh you know the same, Vince keeps putting us in lingerie pillow fights instead of actual matches and we just have to go along with it because we'll get released if we don't," Trish shrugged nonchalantly.
"That bad huh?" Randy nodded.
"Yeah and what's worse we get people like Candice who can't wrestle her way out of a paper bag coming in and someone with actual talent like Gail gets released," Trish sighed, "sometimes it just pisses me off."
"I'd suggest talking to Vince but we all know where that leads," Randy shrugged unable to help.
"It's no biggie I've dealt for it for years," Trish shrugged again, "what about you then I hear your headlining Mania this year?" Trish smiled.
Randy grinned wider than Trish had ever seen him do before as he explained to her about the Royal Rumble then about No Way Out and getting a title shot of course he wouldn't spill to her if he won it or not as he liked to surprise people. They pair continued to walk for a little while longer and before they had realised it an hour had passed and it was dark outside. Trish realised why she was actually here in the first place and knew there was no way she'd find them now but then she realised Victoria and Melina had probably gone by now, which left her alone.
"Crap I think Vicky's took the rental car as I told her I get a ride with Mickie," Trish sighed looking round.
"That's no problem your in the same hotel as me right?" Randy said cheerfully.
"Yeah," Trish seemed confused.
"Well I'm driving back there…" Randy said hoping Trish would catch on but silence followed, "duh get a ride with me…jeez Stratus sometimes your are a real blonde."
"Shut up," Trish play punched him in the arm laughing, "and I have no clue what you mean I am a real blonde," Trish pretended to be offended.
Ten minutes later Trish and Randy pulled into the parking lot of the hotel they were staying in and climbed out. They'd spent the car ride talking too about old times when they had been close friends back on RAW. Trish had to admit it she did enjoy catching up with him but did that mean she loved him? Trish couldn't believe she was thinking about that now, this was Randy Orton she was thinking about. Yet still she found herself thinking it as she walked side by side with Randy.
"Damn psychic," Trish muttered under her breath.
"What?" Randy asked.
"Oh nothing just humming," Trish smiled.
"Riiight," Randy laughed showing all his pearly whites and sparkling blue eyes.
Trish looked away immediately as she found herself thinking he looked handsome and she couldn't help but agree he had changed. From what he had told her he no longer was that cocky, egocentric young man she used to know. They stopped walking and separated as Trish had planned to meet the girls for dinner and Randy was going to his room and before she knew what she was doing Trish called out to him. Randy turned to her smiling waiting for her to speak.
"Erm me and some of the girls are having dinner later if you wanna join us?" Trish asked not knowing what she was doing.
"Thanks but I got plans with Sam." Randy smiled declining the offer.
Trish was silent for a few seconds then spoke confused, "Sam?"
"Haven't you heard?" Randy grinned, "Sam's my fiancé…I'm getting married."
Thirty confused minutes later Trish found herself retelling that story to her friends knowing what they were going to say.
"You didn't know?" Amy asked laughing.
"No, did you two know?" Trish asked looking at her two friends.
"Yeah Trish everyone knew," Victoria said laughing, "it's big news when someone like him gets engaged."
"Well I didn't and I looked stupid," Trish said shaking her head sitting back in her chair no longer feeling hungry.
"Oh come on you didn't seriously think you might fall in love with Randy did you?" Amy laughed loudly.
Trish was silent as she thought about everything she had learned today about Randy then shook her head and laughing. Amy was completely right what the hell was Trish thinking Randy was good as a friend but nothing more. Trish couldn't believe she had entertained that idea she knew the reason why, the damn fortune. Maybe Dawn was right and they were all crap.
"It was a possibility I mean the guy is cute…" Trish shook her head laughed out loud as did Amy and Victoria.
The three continued to talk a little more all sat around a table where they having dinner with each other. Melina hadn't returned any of the other girls calls so wasn't present at the dinner. The three had briefly spoken to Johnny about ten minutes ago who had told them of Melina's outburst earlier and had told them he would let her know about dinner even though he doubted she would come down. It was obvious he shared in their worry for the woman. Then there was Dawn who wasn't there as she was out on her date and wouldn't be back until the early hours of the morning.
"What about you found any old loves?" Trish asked changing the subject looking at Amy.
"Let me think…that would be a no," Amy shook her head sarcastically.
Victoria rolled her eyes, "come one guy's Dawn isn't here we can talk about it," she grinned mischievously, "I know you want to," Victoria said teasingly.
Both Amy and Trish were quiet as they looked at each other then to Victoria who was waiting eagerly, slowly Trish nodded.
"Fine…I admit it some things she told me were a little weird," Trish spoke, "and maybe just maybe I sorta believed her only a little though."
"I totally believed her I mean why not," Victoria nodded strongly.
"I'm still a little dubious guy's," Amy said biting her lip.
Trish rolled her eyes good-naturedly, "that's cause you've been with Dawn to long."
"So what exactly did she say to you two?" Amy asked.
"Just what I told you about marriage and not to be afraid…something about an opportunity I think and fake ness something about unhappiness…I can't remember much," Victoria nodded as she explained.
"Well she mentioned my injury and that I cared about other people more than me…and of course about the love of my life and that I had lost touch with them," Trish said quietly as Randy popped into her head again.
"She said about how I'd had a troubled past and heart brake you know the usual crap… then said about my old love and how I'd feel it again soon." Amy explained as the two nodded.
"Wow I wonder what she could mean?" Trish looked thoughtful.
"Maybe she means Matt," Victoria said.
Amy let out a tiny snort of laughter, "yeah and maybe she's crazy, trust me there is no way it's him. He doesn't even speak to me anymore and plus he has Ashley so believe me it's not him," Amy shrugged nonchalantly.
"Have you tired speaking to him?" Trish asked.
"Why are we focusing on my fortune what about you guy's or Mel or even Dawn which reminds me did Dawn tell you what the woman said to her?" Amy asked, "I tried but she just kept changing the subject."
Victoria and Trish both shook their heads as Dawn hadn't said anything about her fortune to then and was staying that way no matter how much the other women asked her. Something they couldn't help but find weird as Dawn was famous for boasting about anything and everything to do with her life…except of course when it came to one particular man.
"Have any of you noticed how weird she's been acting lately?" Amy asked suddenly.
"Defiantly like every time you mention love she jumps down your throat about it?" Victoria nodded.
"Yeah and who's buying what she told us about Madam Rosemoor she must have told her more than that I know it," Trish said knowingly.
"Something's definitely wrong with her and I'm betting it has to do with a certain Olympic gold medal winner," Amy nodded.
"Totally did she even tell anyone about what happened between her and him?" Victoria looked over at her friends.
"Apparently there just friends….whatever," Amy rolled her eyes.
"There has to be something she isn't telling us," Trish muttered.
"Maybe they are just friends," Victoria said shrugging.
"Come on something must have happened between them she's just not telling us and when had she never told us about a date," Amy said sitting back in her seat.
"Exactly…you can bet tomorrow she'll be telling us everything about the guy tonight. We'll know where they went, what they eat, what he wore, what she wore, what cologne he was wearing, his mothers maiden name, birth place, home town…I could go on." Trish said sounding out of breath.
"You forgot inside leg measurement," Victoria laughed.
All three laughed a little knowing Trish was right and there was defiantly something Dawn wasn't telling them about her and Kurt, but what?
"I'm worried about her," Amy said quietly.
"We all are," Trish sighed.
Soon the conversation had turned back to the other women's fortunes and surprising enough they all seemed a little excited by them, even though they wouldn't tell Dawn. They spent the rest of the evening discussing their future and all the possibilities they had and what exactly Madam Rosemoor meant. They'd finished eating and found themselves making their ways back up to their hotel rooms as tomorrow was going to be a busy day for some as it was back to work, but in the WWE as they knew you were always at work no matter what.
Three hours later Johnny Nitro awoke from his sleep blurry eyed turning over to get back to sleep he noticed something was missing, where was Melina? Sitting up in his bed he ran a hand through his long hair and then raised it to rub his eyes. After a few seconds he began to feel a slight draft as he wasn't wearing a top and was bear chested. Shivering slightly he stood up out of bed and made his way over to the balcony doors that were wide open. Poking his head out he saw his missing girlfriend sat huddled in a chair her knees were bent against her chest and she seemed to be doing something.
"Babe come back to bed," Johnny said sleepily.
Melina jumped slightly as she didn't know someone was behind her, "in a minute," she whispered.
Johnny walked out into the cold night air and towards Melina and looked over her shoulder she had in her hands a writing pad and a pen.
"What's all that for?"
"I'm making a list," Melina answered.
"What like a grocery list?" Johnny tried joking.
"No a list of all the things I need to do before I die," Melina responded shortly.
Johnny sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He thought that he'd managed to make her get past this issue earlier. Johnny had come back to the hotel a few hours after Melina to find her crying on her bed. He'd spent hours talking to her and comforting her about this he'd managed to make her stop crying and to see things clearly…or so he thought as he looked down at the list in her hands.
"Have a child….you obviously think you have at least nine months then," Johnny said jokingly but stopped when he saw the look on Melina's face.
"I didn't say they were achievable did I?" Melina snapped back.
"I'm sorry okay just come back to bed please," he pleaded with her.
"I said a few more minutes," Melina said annoyed.
Johnny was silent for a few seconds then leaned over and kissed his girlfriend on the top of her head and then walked back inside. This was getting a little out of hand now he thought but he didn't know what to do about it. Climbing back in bed he sighed again as he looked over and could just make out her tiny silhouette she was writing again. Johnny remembered when she had told him about going to see a fortune teller he had thought it was a good idea and had encouraged her to go, but now he wasn't so sure. He'd lost a part of the women he loved more than anything the only question was would he get it back.
Down in the hotel lobby another despondent feeling woman was making her way inside after a very uneventful evening of her own. In fact her evening had been over a few hours ago but she had spent the rest of that time walking round on her own as it was a hot evening in Miami. dawn had spent her time alone just thinking as she put it. Something she'd done a lot these days was thinking, about her, about him mostly and now about her future. Not wanting to admit it but she was a little intrigued by Madam Rosemoor's words to her earlier.
Dawn pressed down on the button on the elevator panel and waited for a few seconds for the doors to open. It was late so she was the only one around at the moment. As she entered the elevator she bent over and removed her shoes standing back up she stepped back a little as she was greeted by a pair of blue eyes she knew so well.
"Hi," Kurt nodded awkwardly.
Dawn smiled a little, "you're up late."
"Yeah I have trouble sleeping before big pay per views I find a workout usually helps," Kurt explained his presence.
Dawn nodded as she remained looking away from him, she couldn't bring herself to look at him. It wasn't the pain that was stopping her it was the anger she felt also. Dawn could still remember the day he had told her.
When Kurt had announced his separation from his wife Karen last October people were surprised but nobody as much as Dawn. Then one month later she was stunned when he had asked her out Dawn said yes even though people had warned her that he may be on the rebound, but she had ignored them as she had seen something in his eyes that made her believe he was genuine.
From then on the pair had gone on various dates and had even talked about becoming an official item until Kurt had informed her about two weeks ago he had decided to try again with Karen. Obviously this had devastated her even though she had stayed strong and not shed a single tear in front of anybody. Nobody knew just how much this had affected her.
"So have you been out with the girls?" Kurt asked breaking the uneasy silence.
"Erm no I was on a date," Dawn said hesitantly.
"Oh."
Dawn could hear the let down in his tone of voice as though this bothered him, but why? Suddenly the elevator stopped after what felt like forever to Dawn and even though it wasn't her floor she had to get out. Not even bothering to say goodbye Dawn quickly walked out the elevator and began to walk. Once she heard the doors close behind her she stopped and leaned back on the wall breathing deeply. She had told herself she was over him so many times but he still had a hold on her. Kurt had effected Dawn's life in more ways then she could ever have imagined but she truly had no idea just how much.
