First I just want to apologize for taking so long to update but I got into two car accidences last week (just my luck huh) and I haven't been feeling so good. On top of that I had to rest a lot and go to a chiropractor, but have no fear I'm not really injured or anything I just have some back pains, other than that I'm good.

So I hope you enjoy this chapter I worked really hard on it and I hope you didn't forget about me.

I disclaim!

Randy and Dave walked into the gym. He liked to work out when he had a lot on his mind and there was so many thoughts running through his head after last week. The most prominent one was why Hunter had told Trish that unbelievable lie. He was well aware that Hunter didn't like her but that still wasn't reason enough to try and get rid of her.

"What are you thinking Randy?" Dave asked interrupting his thoughts, noticing how Randy had a far away look on his face.

He stopped lifting weights a second. "That I should have never trusted Hunter to begin with."

"It's not your fault, how were you supposed to know he would try and pull something like that."

"Yea but I should have known. I knew before me and Trish became friends that Hunter didn't like her but I let my feelings for her get the better of me and I over looked it."

"Don't do this to yourself man you had no idea he would do something like that."

"But see that's just the thing I knew in a way that he would try and do something to try and prevent me and Trish from being together and still I did nothing to stop it, and for that I'm just as bad as Hunter."

"I don't want to hear you ever compare yourself to that man again you hear me Orton." Both Dave and Randy turn to see Trish Stratus standing behind them with her arms folded across her chest.

"How long you been standing there." Dave questioned.

"Long enough to hear Orton over here compare himself to that slime ball." Randy sighed in relief. That meant she hadn't heard him talk about his feeling for her.

"I didn't mean to I was just thinking about what Hunter did and how I should have seen it coming you know."

"Randy I already told you that I forgave you so what's the problem? I mean you clarified everything, and plus you where set up."

"But I…" she cut him off.

"But nothing." She sat in his lap and took his hand into hers. "Even if you knew what type of man he was there was no real way of knowing something like that. So do you believe me?"

"Yea."

She smiled sweetly "Good."

"That's the same thing I told him but he wouldn't listen to me. Then you come along and bat a few eyelashes and he agrees? What kind of bullshit is that." Dave joked.

"I guess all it took was a beautiful woman to convince him." Trish giggled.

"And you certainly are beautiful princess." He agreed.

"Hey stop tryna make passes at my girl Dave." Randy blurted out catching him self to late. He didn't mean for it to slip out like that, but he couldn't control himself.

Trish arched an eyebrow at his out burst. "Your girl? Who said anything about being you girl Randy." He blushed fiercely.

"I…you know." He cleared his throat. "I was only joking you know how we always do." He chuckled nervously hoping she would buy that.

"Yea ok Randy what ever you say." She looked up and sees Amy and Lisa enter the gym. "Guys I'll see you later ok Amy and Lisa just got here and I promised I would work out with them." She kissed Randy on the cheek and hugged Dave, then went to join her other friends.

After she was gone Dave slapped Randy in the back of his head. "Owww what was that for?" He asked rubbing the spot Dave hit.

"What the hell were you thinking man blurting out like that. You know I don't like Trish like that she's like a little sister to me you idiot. I wasn't trying to come on to her, I was only playing."

He hung his head low. "I know, I know." He shrugged. "I guess I just got a little jealous of the way you were talking to her."

Dave nodded. "I understand, but you should know I would never try and make a pass at the girl you like."

"I do know that I just got jealous ok."

"So what are you gonna do about Trish."

Randy didn't answer him, and Dave almost thought he didn't hear him. "I don't know I really wanna tell her how I feel but I just don't know how." He sighed. "Every time I get around her I forget what to say."

"So what are you gonna do?"

"I don't know but I have to tell her soon because I don't think I can take this anymore." He paused. "What do you think I should do."

"I think you should try telling her today." Randy's eyes widened.

"What are you crazy I can't do that." He couldn't believe Dave had just said that. "This kinda stuff takes time man. I can't just walk up to her and be like 'hey Trish I love you will you be my girl' it doesn't work like that."

"How much time do you need, you've been friends for months now and you still haven't said anything. You need to do this soon because Trish is a beautiful women and someone just might get there before you, then what."

Randy was silent. Dave was right he did need to say something to her before it was too late. "Your right ok I'll talk to her but not now, I'll do it later."

Dave smiled and patted him on the back. "You're doing the right thing here but lets stop talking so much, I came here to exercise not be your psychiatrist." He joked.

"Whatever."

"You should try and get your mind off Trish and actually exercise you really need it." He said standing up.

Randy looked down at his chest. "Man what's that suppose to mean."

"I really wasn't gonna say anything Randy but you've been getting kinda big in the stomach area, but hey if that's how your gonna try and impress Trish, then all the power to ya." He began to walk away.

"Your just joking right there's nothing wrong with me." Dave didn't answer. "Dude seriously!" He just kept walking. Randy looked down at himself once again and pinched his stomach. "Man I really do need to exercise I can't talk to Trish looking like a fat slob."

Later that day

Trish was busy rummaging through her duffle bag when someone knocked on her door. "Come in." She called over her shoulder.

Randy made his way into her locker room only to be hit in the face with an article of clothing. "Trish what the hell are you doing?" He removed her shirt from his head, and looked around noticing her clothes scattered all over the place. "And why the hell is your stuff everywhere?"

"I'm trying to find something to wear." She answered never slowing her actions.

Mean while Randy stepped over the many clothes on the floor and tried not to fall flat on his face. Finally he reached the couch. He looked around again and saw a midnight blue Bra, and held it up. "Damn Trish your tits are fucking huge." He said in awe. He looked just like a kid seeing Santa for the first time.

Trish's head immediately shot up at the comment, and her face turned a very pretty crimson color. She snatched it away quickly. "Give me that Randy and don't touch my things." She threw it somewhere and turned back to Randy. "What are you doing here anyway?"

He frowned. "So now I can't just stop by and see how my best friend is doing without a reason behind it." He huffed. "Well aren't you rude."

She laughed. "Don't act like that you know I like being around you."

"Well then you ought to show a little more appreciation to the Legend Killer then woman." That comment only earned him a pillow to the face.

"Another comment like that Randy and the next thing that hits your face won't be that soft."

"Ok fine so back to what I asked before, how come I didn't know your boobs were so big."

"Randy!" She shrieked and hit him in the head with the pillow.

He put his hands up in surrender. "Ok ok." He chuckled. "No more I'll stop I promise." She put the pillow back down and went back to her previous task.

Randy silently watched her all the while. His conversation with Dave earlier in the gym popped up in his head, and now was probably a better time then any to ask her out somewhere before he lost his nerve.

"Hey Trish, what do you say we go out for a cup of coffee or something and just talk."

"That sounds really nice Randy but I can't, I already have plans for tonight with Jay." she said softly.

His heart broke instantly at her words. She was actually going out on a date with Jay and he wasn't just one of the guys, he was Jason Reso her ex boyfriend. That meant they were probably going back out again and Trish would be permanently off limits to him.

Trish looked at Randy and saw the sad look on his face she felt bad for not being able to spend time with him, truth was she loved his company. After she had left the gym earlier Jay had approached her and asked her to go to dinner with him as friends and she hadn't really spent anytime with him lately. In fact most of the time she was with Randy and Dave, so she agreed to go with him.

"I'm really sorry Randy, but if you like you could come along with us. I'm sure Jay wouldn't mind." She offered.

"No it's ok really Trish I don't want to intrude." He continued before she could protest. "It's not like I can't talk to you another time." He started toward the door.

"Randy wait." He stopped and turned to her. She touched his arm. "Are you sure you don't want to come I really wouldn't mind." He forced a smile, and took her hand into his.

"I'm sure sweetly, but why don't you come by the locker room when your done getting dressed and we can talk a little bit before you go." She smiled for him.

"I'd really like that."

He squeezed her hand gently then let it slip from his as he walked away. When the door closed behind him he released a sigh and bowed his head. He looked at her door one last time before heading towards his own locker room.

He didn't like the sound of Trish going out with Jay, Especially since that wasn't him. He probably wouldn't be in this mess if he hadn't listened to Dave. Defeated Randy pushed into his locker room and plopped down on the couch.

"Hey man what happened?" Dave question as soon as he saw Randy, but by the look of him things hadn't gone as he'd hoped.

"She's going out with Jay is what happened."

Shocked Dave's jaw dropped opened. "She what." Maybe he didn't hear him right.

"I said she's going out with Jay, they have a date."

"That's some news to me, I thought they were through. When did this happen?"

"Apparently today." He leaned forward in his chair and ducked his head into his hands. "I went to see her and she was getting dressed to go on a date with Jay so that must mean there getting back together." He looked at Dave with sad eyes. "I guess I did wait to long after all, but hey what do I really have to offer that Jay doesn't."

"Randy you have plenty to offer and you know it."

"No I don't because if I did then it would be me and not Jay with her tonight and as you can see I'm right here talking to you while he's having a good time with my girl."

"I can't believe she would pick Jay over you, even after you told her how you felt too."

Randy ducked his head. "I didn't actually tell her how I feel."

"What." Dave asked in disbelief. "You mean to tell me you still haven't told her, then what did you say to her?"

"I asked her to go get some coffee with me so we could talk."

He shook his head. "No wonder she's still going out with Jay she probably didn't think you were asking her out. For all you know she probably likes you to."

"No your wrong she doesn't like me the same way now and she never will ok. I get that and I'm fine with it."

"Randy you'll never know until you tell her exactly how you feel, you can't just give up so easily." Dave encouraged.

"No I'm not telling her anything so just forget about it ok." He was getting upset now. There was no use telling her knowing Jay would be her choice anyway. He made an attempt to leave the room because he knew this conversation would lead to him saying something he might regret.

"Just take my advice man you never know what can happen." That statement was all Randy could take. He whirled around to look at Dave.

"Take your advice, you want me to take your advice huh." He laughed sarcastically. "Your so called advice is what got me into this mess in the first place. If I had just waited like I wanted instead of going to her and looking like a complete dumbass today I WOULDNT FUCKIN HAVE MY HEART BROKEN."

When Randy reached the door he looked back at Dave. "Thanks a lot Dave I hope your happy now." With that he let to door fall shut leaving a very stocked Batista inside.

xxxxxxx

Trish hurriedly rushed down the hall to Randy's locker room. She stopped outside his room and quickly knocked on the door. She waited a few seconds before becoming impatient 'where the hell are you Randy' she knocked again this time a little bit louder. Trish glanced down at her watch; she was supposed to meet Jay in less the 20 minutes and she really needed to talk to Randy.

The door swung open.

Trish gasped startled, a hand coming up to her chest. She hadn't expected the door to just swing open like that and the fact that Dave was in the door way and not Randy intensified that shock. "Dave."

"Oh hey Trish sorry about that I thought you were Randy."

She furrowed her brow. "What…you mean he isn't here?"

Dave shook his head. "No he actually left a little while ago."

She was slightly hurt. Randy knew she wanted to talk to him before she left. He said she could just stop by his locker room after getting dressed and now he was gone. "I don't understand why did he leave? What happened? Is he mad at me? Did I do something wrong?" She questioned.

"No princess I assure you, you did nothing wrong…look why don't you come in so we can talk." He stepped to the side to allow her entry into the room. After she did so he closed the door and turned to face her. "I tried to talk him out of leaving but he wouldn't listen to me." He sighed.

"So he just up and left? Do you know where he is?…did he say where he was going?"

"I don't know sweetheart, he left without a word."

Her eyes widened concerned. "And you let him go just like that, not even knowing where he was going." She was slowly starting to grow upset at the big man in front out her.

"Trish calm down I know Randy and he'll be ok." Dave tried to reason.

Her gaze hardened as she looked at the much taller man. "Don't tell me to calm down when for all we know Randy could be hurt or even worse."

"Don't think like that Randy's fine he's a big boy and he can take care of himself." He responded but his voice lacked confidence. What if something did happen to him it would be all his fault.

Trish's eyes narrowed. "You don't even believe what you just said do you." She gasped. "You think something's wrong with him don't you? Oh God." She sat on the couch and pressed a hand into her eyes.

Dave approached the blonde and knelt at her feet. "Trish nothing is wrong with him ok, the only reason he left is because of me."

"You?" Confused she reached for his hand "Why would he leave because of you?"

Dave took a seat beside her. He contemplated a way of telling her why Randy was upset and not revealing his true feelings for her. "Earlier today I gave him some advice and apparently things didn't go as planned and he was pissed at me for it even though he knows it wasn't my fault."

"Why didn't he ask me for advice, I would have been more than happy to give it to him." She asked softly.

"Maybe he felt more comfortable telling a guy instead." She nodded understandably.

"Well what did he need advice on?" She asked curiously.

"I'm not sure Randy would like for me to tell you."

"Well can't you just tell me, I promise I won't tell, he doesn't even have to know that I know."

Dave shook his head and chuckled. "Nice try sweetie but it's not my business to tell." Trish sighed and looked to the ground.

He squeezed her hand. "I'm sure when he's ready to tell you he will ok." She smiled.

"Yea ok." Just when she was about to say something else there was a knock at the door.

"Hold on let me get that." Dave hope it would be Randy coming back but when he opened the door to reveal Jason Reso a sneer pulled at his lips. "What do you want?"

"I..I came to see if Trish was here." He stuttered. Dave was a big man and very intimidating.

"Trish Jays here for you." He called into the room. Seconds later she appeared at the door.

"Oh hi Jay, I'm so sorry but something came up and I don't think I'll be able to go with you tonight." Dave smiled she was picking Randy over Jay.

He frowned. "Why, is there something wrong, do you need my help." He questioned trying to ignore the evil stare Dave was giving him.

"No its ok I just need to find Randy he seemed upset and I just worried about him, I hope you understand."

He nodded. "Yea its ok I understand we can always go another time." He lied. He didn't like that fact that she would cancel on him for Randy.

She hugged him. "Thank you so much I really appreciate it." She pulled back, and turned to Dave. "I'm gonna go change and look for Randy ok."

"Ok I'll carry your bags back to the hotel for you." She smiled and took off down the hall. "And don't forget to carry your cell with you!" He yelled to her retreating form. When she was out of sight, he turned to Jay with cold eyes. "I hope you're not trying to get back with Trish because if you are you'll have a rude awakening." The door was slammed in Jay's face moment later.

"I think it's your friend who will have the rude awakening and that's a promise." He laughed sinisterly, then walked off.

xxxxxxx

Randy sat in the second row of the arena with his feet on the seat in front of him watching as the techs disassembled the ring to bring to its next destination. He wanted sometime alone and a quiet place to think where no one would find him. He felt awful about going off on Dave the way he had, he was only trying to help him and in return he blamed him for it. It wasn't Dave's fault Trish was going back out with Jay, if he hadn't waited so long it would have been him on that date instead. Now the only person he could blame for Trish find someone was himself. Out of the corned out his eyes Randy saw the blond diva approaching.

"Hey mind if I join you." Randy turned with wide eyes at the voice. He hadn't expected to see her here. Trish was dressed in one of her black and white Stratusfaction baby-t and sweatpants.

"Tr…Trish." Randy managed to stutter out.

She simply smiled. "Yea it's me, so are you gonna invite me to sit or are you or just stare at my sexy self all night." He shook his head.

"Oh yea sorry, of course I don't mind if you sit with me." He motioned with his hand for her to take the seat next to him. She complied and took the seat he offered then turned to face him.

"You look surprised to see me."

He turned away from her then and continued to watch the techs. "I kind of am. I thought you had a date with Jay tonight, what did he cancel on you." He knew he sounded bitter but he couldn't help it.

Trish decided to let his last comment slide. "I was suppose to go somewhere with him but it wasn't a date, we were only going out as friends…and just so you know I'm the one that canceled." He turned to her shocked.

"But…but why? Earlier today you were all happy to go out with him, what changed your mind."

She shrugged. "Something more important came up and I had to cancel."

Randy furrowed his eyebrows "What could possibly be more important." He couldn't put his finger on it.

Trish looked him directly in the eyes when she spoke her next words. "It was you, you're what's more important."

Randy was shocked by her answer yet again. "I don't understand why me."

"Right before I was about to leave I went to your locker room to talk like I said I would. When I got there Dave was the only one I saw, which was surprising because you told me you would be there. Dave told me that after having a confrontation with him you disappeared so I explained to Jay that I needed to find you and make sure you were ok. He said he understood and we could reschedule for a later date." They were both silent for a moment.

"How did you know I would be here?" He asked changing the subject entirely.

She shrugged. "Whenever something is bothering me I usually come here to think so I checked here first." There was silence between them. "So are you gonna tell me what's on your mind now or am I gonna sit here all night waiting."

"Its noting Trish." He forced a smile. "I just wanted to get away from every thing."

"You know you can't lie to me so I don't even know why you try." She growled. "I see right through you Randy so tell me the truth what's bothering you?"

That was the problem she didn't see through him, because if she did then she would see all the love he had for her in his eyes as plan as day. "I'm not lying there's nothing wrong." He denied. "Forget about it Trish you can't help me ok so just dope it."

Trish was starting to get frustrated with him. Why wouldn't he let her help him? "Fine Randy be that way then I'll just leave."

He quickly stood, grabbing her hand. "Please don't go that's not what I want."

She cocked her head eyeing him. First he says he doesn't want her help and then he doesn't want her to leave. "Randy I can't help you unless you let me sweetie."

"That's the thing there's nothing you can do to help me though."

"You don't know that, I promise I'll try my best to help you get through this."

He shook his head refusing to tell her anything. She couldn't help him she would only make it worse.

"Sweetie come on." She cooed, stroking his arm. "Let me help you."

Randy harshly shook his head and jerked his arm out of her grasp. He didn't like the way she was trying to help him because he knew in the end she would never love him. They would only be friends and he couldn't handle that despite what he told Dave. "Stop trying to baby me Trish I'm not a fucking child." He growled.

"Randy." Trish cooed.

"No." He viciously shook his head. "You can't help me because I know I can't be loved by the one who already has my heart." His eyes widen at his admission to her.

"Randy I didn't know you were involved with anyone…do I know her is she in the company?" He nodded his head. She didn't even understand what he had just said.

"Yea she is in the company, but the problem is she's with another man so I have no chance with her." He whispered.

Trish moved his arms so she could sit in his lap wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling his head to her shoulder. Tears prickled out of his eyes at the contact, though he knew she meant well she was bring more pain than comfort.

She hugged him tighter when she felt his hot tears on her neck. "Everything is so messed up Trish all I want to do is be with her but I don't even know how to tell her how I feel."

"Shhh its ok, I understand." She said while slightly rocking him back and forth.

"No it's not ok I can't live knowing she isn't mine, and what's worse is she's my friend so I have to see her every day."

She lifted his head then and wiped away his tears. "Do you know if she loves the man she's with now?" He shook his head. "Why don't you find out and if she doesn't you might have a chance, she is your friend after all so she knows you."

Randy looked into her eyes and decided to pull his strength from there. "Trish are you in love with Jay."

Her eyes widened shocked, she was the reason he was so sad? But why would he think she was with Jay they didn't even go out anymore. "No I'm not in love with him… but it's me? I'm the one you want to be with?" He ducked his head and nodded. "How long?" She questioned.

"I knew for sure when we became friends, but I've had the feeling even before I saved you all those months ago." He confessed.

"Why didn't you tell me before…why'd you wait so long?"

"I was afraid you would reject me." He said honestly. "I couldn't stand the thought of you not returning my feeling. I didn't want to ruin our friendship either, so I only told Dave about it, and he promised not to say anything to you." He paused looking at her a few moments. "I understand if you don't feel the same way and I apologize if I've made things weird, that was never my intention."

She smiled, he was nervous that was obvious but truth be told he had no reason to be. She hooked a finger under his chin and brought his gaze to her. She leaned forward a bit and captured his lips with hers.

The kiss was soft and sweet, it made Randy melted at the mere feel. He tentatively licked at her bottom lip begging for entry so he could deepen the kiss.

She slowly opened her mouth allowing him to do so whimpering when his tongue touched hers.

Trish resituated herself in his lap straddling his hips so she could push as close to him as possible. He growled and turned his head to deepen the kiss even more, his hands traveling over her back and sides in a slow caress. She moaned trying to kiss him deeper still. She never imagined kissing Randy like this but the longer she did the more in loved she felt.

He thrust his tongue farther, licking lovingly at every corned of her mouth. God did he enjoy kissing her like this. He was in heaven. Randy felt her cupping his head trying to push him back and he reluctantly obliged.

Trish rested her forehead against his desperately trying to catch her breath. She licked her kiss swollen lips but she was so close that her tongue touched his as well. That simple action made Randy want more so he captured her lips once again.

He crushed his lips to hers deepening it instantly, making Trish cave into his body. There tongues tangled passionately until finally breathless. Trish once again broke the kiss. "God you're really good at that." She panted against his face. He only smiled and hugged her close.

"So does this mean you want to be together?" He asked just to make sure.

"If your not sure then I don't think I was being forward enough." She giggled.

"No I think you were quite forward enough my dear I just wanted to make sure this was real and not just some fantasy."

"I can assure you this is all real." She said tickling her hands down his face to his pecks. Randy couldn't with hold his groan. "What do you say we go back t the hotel and get some rest?"

He smiled. "That sounds great." She stood and when Randy was beside her she grabbed his hand. He looked down at her and couldn't help but smile. He leaned down and kissed her before they made their way out of the arena hand in hand.
