Chapter 22

Mark made his way to the Diva's locker room nervously. He was going to ask Victoria out. He had all these thoughts running through his head, the predominate one being what if she says no. He stopped outside the door and gathered the courage to knock. Victoria answered the door.

"Hi Mark" she said, looking kind of taken aback that Mark was standing there. Mark smiled at her before speaking.

"Hey Victoria" Mark said shyly "listen I was uhh wondering if maybe you wanted to maybe get a bite to eat after the show. Maybe rent a few movies" Mark felt like an ass for being nervous. He felt he should be more confident and bold.

"Yeah that sounds good" Victoria said smiling at Mark. Mark almost whooped for joy but held it in.

"Ok cool did you ride here with someone?" Mark asked, Victoria nodded "ok well tell them you got another ride back to the hotel and I'll take you back". They said their byes and Mark left.

Jessie was sitting backstage watching a monitor. Randy had asked her to watch his match that night and she agreed. JR and Jerry were currently going over the match before. Jessie was thanking God that she hadn't saw it because apparently it had been a blood bath. All of a sudden she heard Randy's voice come through the monitor. He was talking about how he was great as he made his way through the crowd. 'I am the longest running intercontinental champion in seven years SEVEN YEARS' Jessie rolled her eyes as she listened to Randy yammer on. She had always thought his character was overly cocky and annoying. She thought it was amazing how different he was in real life. She focused her attention on the match.

The match started off with a bang, Shelton immediately went for a roll up on Randy. At first Shelton was in total control but Randy got him in the corner and turned things around. It was short lived though as Shelton rolled them to the outside of the ring. They brawled ringside for a bit with Shelton backdropping Randy into the crowd before getting back into the ring. Shelton got a series of two counts on Randy. Jessie was surprised a bit because the crowd seemed more behind Randy than Shelton even though Randy was currently a heel. Jessie's eyes widened when Randy got control and the crowd started chanting his name. Jessie felt bad for Shelton because Ric Flair came to ringside and even though he was a heel too the crowd was cheering for him and Randy. She started silently cheering for Shelton in her head. Randy got in control of the match and Jessie fought not to scream at the monitor. She was already huffing and puffing. She was so into the match that she didn't notice Dave Batista and her dad laughing at her from across the hallway. Randy went for a dive from the turnbuckle. Shelton hit a northern lights suplex and Jessie screamed when Randy kicked out at a two count. The match was back and forth again with the crowd chanting 'Orton Orton Orton'. Shelton hit a stiff spin kick on Randy and got another two count. Shelton hit a stinger splash on Randy but Flair put Randy's foot on the ropes to prevent Randy from being pinned. Jessie screamed in frustration and wanted to smack Flair upside his ugly greasy head. She still didn't notice but John and Batista were still laughing their asses off at her. Benjamin threw Flair into the ring and splashed him then splashed Randy again. Jessie clapped happily and let out a WOO! mocking Flair. Jessie laughed when Shelton put the figure four on Flair. She felt it was poetic justice to give him pain with his own move. "Shut up" Jessie said to the crowd when they started booing Shelton "Lord these people just don't get it". There was a few more false finishes that the crowd were into and had Jessie on the edge of her seat. Then out of nowhere Shelton hit a splash. Jessie got up out of her chair to scream when it looked like Shelton was gonna win but all of a sudden Randy rolled him up and got the 1,2,3. Jessie sat back down growling. She had wanted Shelton to win.

Jessie stood up and put a smile on her face as Randy came backstage. He was tired looking and sweaty but he had a smile on his face. Jessie walked over to where he was talking to Batista and John about his match "...man that crowd was so twisted tonight haha. They're heels at heart". Jessie walked up and stood behind Randy as he recounted different things. He turned slightly and noticed her "hey baby" he said "this is my girl right here" he said to Batista and John "she saved me from a skank hoe earlier".

"Yes and I'd do it again" Jessie said kissing Randy on the cheek despite him being sweaty. Then she hit him in the stomach "HOWEVER you beating my Shelton is SO NOT COOL". Batista and John cracked up with laughter and Randy stood there open mouthed looking at Jessie.

Mark Jindrak came by just then and threw Jessie over his shoulder "I need to borrow her for a bit. You can come get her from my locker room when you start to leave" he said walking off. Jessie just shrugged and mimed pinching Mark's ass. Randy and Dave laughed and John gave her an unamused look. "Ok" Mark said sitting Jessie on the couch in his locker room "I'm going to try on a few outfits and I want you to tell me which is best" Jessie nodded her head and Mark went into the bathroom. They spent the next fifteen minutes with Mark trying on outfits. Jessie hated everyone he tried on but made a new one using parts of other ones he put together. He ended up with white dress pants, a black shirt with white wife beater underneath, and black shoes and black belt. Jessie joked that he should add a black hat and complete the whole pimp look but Mark said he didn't have one and rejected Jessie's idea to go buy one. There was a knock on the door and Mark opened it to Maven and Shelton Benjamin on the other side. He invited them in and Jessie immediately felt flushed since she was in the same room as her big crush. The three men sat around talking before Maven spoke up "oh Shelt this is Jessie John's daughter the one we're gonna be keeping an eye on tonight". Jessie's eyes got big when he said this and she looked at him like he had 2 heads and 4 eyes.

"What?" she asked simply.

"Yea Rand came to us earlier and asked if we'd spend the night doing things with you cause he's planning on asking out Alexis and John's going out with Trish and Mark's going out with Victoria" Maven said looking at Jessie.

"WHAT? That little dweeb he knew that I would want to give him the big brother speech before he asked her out so he did it behind my back and when he knew I wouldn't be able to give it to him" Mark said rolling his eyes and looking a bit annoyed.

"Oh calm down Tiger you were the one that introduced them anyway" Maven said with a laugh.

'That little dipwick' Jessie thought to herself 'I bet this is his payback for every one of my jokes'. She was startled out of her thoughts by Maven's voice "so darlin' what do you wanna do tonight?"

"Uhh" Jessie said "food other than that I dunno".

"Why don't we go to Denny's and eat then we could go and rent a few videos to watch" Shelton spoke up. Jessie looked at him and had to keep herself from drooling. He was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and white sleeveless shirt that clung to his body. She looked at Maven and noticed he was in a wife beater and basketball shorts. She briefly had a thought that it would be a long night.

"Yeah that sounds good" Jessie said. Between looking at Shelton and her growling stomach she was a bit distracted.

"Ok well since the show's over we can go now" Maven said and Jessie got up and followed he and Shelton out of the locker room. Mark watched them go with a smile. He knew of Jessie's little crush on Shelton and he knew that she would get revenge on Randy for putting her in the situation he had.
He finished getting ready and made his way down to the women's locker room and knocked on the door. Victoria answered rather quickly and Mark had to keep himself from pushing her back into the room and locking the door behind them. She was wearing black pants, a white sleeveless shirt and chunky boots. Her hair was curled slightly and seemed to shine in the horrible lighting.

"Hey Mark" Victoria said smiling brightly at him. Mark greeted her then stuck out his arm for her to take. He lead her out of the arena and to his car. 'This is gonna be a great date' Mark thought to himself starting up the car and pulling out of the parking lot.

Jessie was currently searching through the shelves for the perfect movie to watch. After they had left the arena she, Maven and Shelton had went to Denny's and ate then the two guys brought her to the video store and told her to pick out whatever 3 movies she wanted to watch. She had already picked out The Pacifier and the first Harry Potter movie and was looking for a third. Shelton and Maven were standing to the side of her talking about their matches while she looked. She finally decided on a comedy, Lemony Snickett's A Series of Unfortunate Events. She handed the movie to Shelton who was holding the other two and smiled up at him. "That it?" he asked. She nodded her head shyly and followed the two guys up to the counter to pay.

The lady at the counter let out a squeal when she noticed who the two guys were and after a few comments on how she loved them and a few autographs given for what seemed to Jessie was every member of the ladies family the three set off for the car. When they got there Maven told Jessie to sit shotgun and he would sit in the back. Jessie silently added his name to the list of butts she would be kicking.

Victoria currently had her body in Mark's lap, hands around his neck and nails digging into his back. Her head was buried into his neck and she was screaming. Mark thought to himself that this would have been the perfect situation to be in had it not been for the fact that the only reason Victoria was doing what she was was because she was shielding her vision from the tv which was currently playing Texas Chainsaw Massacre. When Mark had taken Victoria to the video store earlier she told him she had wanted to see it for a while and Mark had gotten it only after Victoria assured him that scary movies didn't usually bother her.

"Honey if you'll let go of me I'll go take the movie out and we'll just talk" Mark said, Victoria's nails were killing his back and he was pretty sure he was going deaf from her screams. He almost wept in relief when Victoria slid off him, her hands covering her face. He got up off the couch and stopped the movie. After that he went and sat back on the couch and pulled her back onto his lap. "Alright Beautiful the movies off now. I thought you could take scary movies" he said in a teasing tone.

"I can" Victoria said bringing her face from her hands. To Mark's surprise there were no traces of tears or fear, she had a smile on her face "I just didn't want to watch the movie. I wanted to do something else".

"Oh" Mark said raising an eyebrow "and what's that".

"This" Victoria said wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him the most passionate kiss he had ever had in his entire life. She pulled back abruptly and looked at him, smile still planted on her face "let's neck" she said simply before converging on his lips once more.

Jessie was laying on the bed watching the last few minutes of Lemony Snickett. It had been better than she had expected but not as good as he could have hoped for. They had already watched Harry Potter and the Pacifier and it was only nearing 10 o'clock.

"What now?" Shelton said as the credits started to roll. He got up and took the movie out of the vcr after rewinding it. He saw Maven and Jessie looking at him with clueless looks on their faces "oh come on I picked the place to eat and I picked the idea to rent movies I even spotted the movie rental place I can't make all the decisions".

"We could go bowling" Jessie spoke up from her position. She had never been bowling in her life but it was what popped into her head.

"Oh actually that sounds fun. It's been quite a while since I've been bowling" Maven said looking quite
excited at the prospect of getting out of the hotel room and bowling.

"I think we're being swindled" Maven said looking at Shelton. They had been bowling for about an hour and so far Jessie was kicking their asses. She was a head by almost 100 points.

"I swear I have never played this game before". It was true Jessie had never bowled before but she was good at calculating the right move to make to knock down all the pins each time. She hadn't skipped many grades and graduated High School at age 12 for nothing.

"I'm ready to go" Shelton spoke up "your dad said he'd be back by midnight and by the time we get back to the hotel it'll be close to that. He, Maven and Jessie made their way to the counter and turned in their shoes and left back to the hotel. When they got back to the hotel they met John and Trish at the parking lot, Maven and Shelton hugged Jessie goodbye (with Jessie internally freaking when Shelton hugged her) and left her with Trish and John.

"You hungry babygirl or did Dumb and Dumber actually feed you?" John joked wrapping his free arm that wasn't wrapped around Trish's waist around Jessie's shoulder. He felt extremely content, he was with his two favorite girls, as far as he was concerned life couldn't get any better.

"I ate Denny's earlier and Maven bought me an ice cream" Jessie said laying her head on John's chest as they walked. It was very unorthodox but they all were too comfortable to care. When they got to the hotel door John held the door open for the girls then once everyone was in the hotel they went back to their tangle of arms.

"Bye sweetheart I had a great time tonight" John said kissing Trish lightly. They were standing outside her door.

"Bye Handsome I had fun too can't wait to do it again. Bye Jessie, we gotta spend some time together soon come by the Diva's locker room sometime." and with that Trish made her way inside. John turned and pulled Jessie to his side.

"Let's go babygirl" he said walking toward their rooms.

"Daddy can I sleep in your room tonight?" Jessie asked looking up at him.

"Sure babygirl you know you can. Did something happen tonight? Are you ok?" John asked a bit worriedly. Jessie just smiled and hugged him.

"Nah everythings fine I just feel like being near my Daddy" John hugged Jessie to him and kissed her forehead.

"Good 'nuff for me" he said simply. Father and Daughter slept peacefully that night.

'I can't believe I'm going on a date with Randy. I just wish I knew where he was taking me, so I could know what to wear' Alexis thought to herself, as she hurried around her hotel room, trying to find something appropriate to wear on her date. "Okay, well I have just enough time to get a quick shower, and straighten my hair before he gets here" Lexi said, to nobody in particular, since she was in the room by herself.

Twenty minutes later, Lexi was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, drying her hair, and 'attempting' to put her make up on at the same time. Finally getting her hair the way she liked it, she set about finding the right outfit again. Deciding on a black skirt, that stopped about mid thigh, and dark blue halter top she quickly put her clothes on, and grabbed her black strappy heels that tied up around her ankles. Going back to the bathroom, Lexi pulled her hair back on the sides, in a sparkly butterfly clip, leaving her natural curls cascading down her back. Just then, a knock came on her door.

"Just a second" Alexis yelled, walking out of the bathroom, and turning off the light. When she answered the door, it took everything she had in her not to melt at the sight. Standing in her doorway was Randy, dressed in fitted black dress pants, and a tight black shirt, with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows.

"Hey baby. Are you ready to go?" Randy asked, appreciating the way she looked in her outfit as well.

"Yeah, I just need to grab my purse real quick" Alexis responded, turning around and walking over to her bed, where she had thrown her purse when she got back from the arena. Mouthing a quick, 'Oh my God' she grabbed her purse, and walked back over to Randy.

"You look great tonight" Randy said, offering his arm to her.

"Thank you" Alexis answered softly, blushing a bit at his comment. "You look very handsome too" She told him, her embarassment going away.

"Well, I hope you're ready for a night on the town" Randy said, as they made their way to a waiting black limousine.

"Randy, you didn't have to get a limo" Alexis said, as the driver was holding the door open for them.

"Yes I did. You deserve to be treated like a princess" Randy explained, as he climbed in beside her, before grabbing the rose he had the driver hide behind his back. Once Alexis was over her daze of being in a limo, she turned to face Randy, and noticed the single long stemmed red rose.

"It's beautiful, thank you" Alexis said, taking the flower from Randy, getting lost in his eyes.

"It's not as beautiful as you are" Randy declared, leaning in and placing a soft kiss on her lips.

After dinner, Randy told the driver to take them down to the beach, he had found, and once they got there, they both left their shoes in the limo, and walked hand in hand down the beach, just talking and getting to know each other some more. They were walking and neared this little beach café, and they could hear the music playing. Randy stopped them in their tracks, and turned to look at Lexi.

"Would you like to dance?" Randy asked, gazing longingly at her, as he longed to take her in his arms.

"I'd love to" Alexis replied, stepping into his embrace, the smell of his cologne invading her senses, and she knew that his intoxicating scent would be with her forever. As they started dancing, the song changed over to Angel, from Aerosmith. Wrapping his arms tighter around her waist, Randy let out a contented sigh at just having her in his arms.

Randy was listening to what the words of this song were saying. It was true, after he broke up with Kennedy, he wasn't sure if he could ever make it through the night. He loved having someone to come home too, someone to be there after his matches.

Alexis was in her own thoughts. Everything that Randy told her about himself, and about his relationship with Kennedy and how she just used him, it made her want to just wrap him in her arms, and never let go. He was the first man, in a long time, aside from her dad and Mark that she has felt comfortable being with. Not once did he put her down or make her feel ugly. She also noticed he was hiding his own tears when she talked about her previous relationships. She wanted his love, and she wanted to give him her love as well. Before she realized what she was doing, she stood on her tip toes and leaned up and kissed him, pouring all of the emotion she felt into that one kiss, as the song continued to play.

Randy and Alexis had just arrived back to Randy's hotel room. Randy had his arm wrapped protectively around Alexis' waist.

"I had a great time tonight" Alexis said, staring up at Randy's bright blue eyes.

"Me too" Randy said, taking the initiative and leaning down to capture her mouth in a searing kiss that left them both breathless with desire. Breaking the kiss, Randy walked over to the fireplace, and started to light a fire. Alexis stood back, admiring the way his back muscles moved as he arranged the logs in the fireplace. Once he was satisfied with the fire, he walked over to the stereo, and hit the play button.

"Dance with me?" Randy asked, extending his hand out for Alexis to take. Taking his hand in hers, Alexis wrapped her arms around his neck, and laid her head on his chest. They had been dancing for a few minutes, when the CD changed over to a different song. One that Alexis recognized as one of her favorites, I'll Make Love To You by Boyz To Men.

"Does this mean what I think it means?" Alexis asked, gazing up at Randy. He licked his lips, before replying.

"If that's what you want honey" he said. Alexis leaned up and kissed Randy. She hungrily moved her hands over his muscular body, slowly running her hands underneath his shirt to touch his chest, while his hands traveled down to the zipper on the back of her skirt. They never broke the kiss, the intensity never wavered, but it was still very gentle.

Making their way towards the bed, Randy made sure to go slow. He felt something for Alexis that he hasn't felt for any woman in a long time. Not since he first met Kennedy, when that relationship was new. Placing feather light kisses along her neck, Randy tossed her skirt to their growing pile of discarded clothing. Laying gently on the bed, Alexis started undoing the Randy's belt buckle, getting the belt undone, she was quick to get his black dress pants unbuttoned, and was able to get them half way down, so Randy helped her get the rest of his clothes off, and onto the floor.

"Baby, are you sure you want to go through with this? If you don't want to, it's okay" Randy said, looking down into Alexis deep green eyes.

"Randy, I want this. You've made tonight so special, I want you to be my first. I want you to make love to me" Alexis said, leaning up, and drawing his mouth into another soul searing kiss. The kiss shared by the two young lovers, expressed all the emotion and feelings in their bodies.

"Lexi, I want to make sure that this is what you really want. I mean, your first time should be special. I don't want you to feel like you have to do this" Randy said, the love and concern showing in his beautiful baby blue eyes.

"This is what I want. I've waited my whole life for a moment this special. There is no doubt in my mind, that this isn't what I want" Alexis replied, with as much honesty and love, as she's ever had before.

"I promise I'll go slow. It may hurt for a second, but the pain will go away. Just hold onto my hand, and if you need to, you can squeeze till the pain is gone" Randy said, looking straight into her eyes.

With those words, the love and trust that Alexis felt for Randy intensified. Any nervousness that may have been, was forgotten, as Randy started placing feather light kisses along her neck, occasionally nibbling softly at the skin around her collarbone. Alexis was running her hands across Randy's muscular back, and every so often, lightly ran her nails across his back. Biting back a groan, Randy continued his way down Alexis' body, stopping at her breasts. Taking her right one in his mouth, he began suck on it gently, while he massaged the other. After his sweet torture, or what Alexis thought to be sweet torture, Randy moved back up, to claim her mouth in another kiss. Parting her thighs, Randy inserted his index finger, and began to massage her clit. He started out going slow, but then began to quicken the pace, but would slow down again, causing Alexis to go crazy.

"Randy…Please" Alexis half moaned/half begged, wanting to feel him in her.

"Okay baby doll. Just hold onto my hands, and I promise I'll be gentle" Randy said, lacing their fingers together, and placed them above her head. Positioning himself between her thighs, he slowly began to enter her. Locking eyes with her, he moved slowly, inch by inch, till he reached her barrier. When he felt the proof of her innocence, he placed his mouth on hers, and kissed her, before snapping his hips forward and pushing through it. Alexis tightened her grip on his hand, digging her nails into his skin. He held still for a few moments before he felt Alexis relax, and then he started moving his hips slowly to get her used to the feeling. Once he felt for sure that Lexi was comfortable, Randy started picking up the pace.

"Ohhhhh" Lexi moaned, as she moved her hips with each thrust in time with Randy.

"Are you okay baby?" Randy asked, slowing his thrusts back down, and began rubbing her clit again.

"Mmhmm" Lexi replied, as she felt the waves of her first orgasm rip through her. Feeling her release, Randy sped his thrusts up and spilled his seed into her. Collapsing on top of Lexi, Randy placed feather light kisses along her collarbone and neck, trying to bring her back down from her euphoria. Rolling over onto his back, Randy pulled Alexis into his arms, as she laid her head on his chest, listening to his heart beating.

"Thank you Randy" Alexis said, looking up into his eyes. He looked at her with an inquisitive look so she pressed on. "For being my first, for being so gentle with me, and for making tonight so special. I always imagined my first time being one of the most magical things in my life and I know now that it is." Randy leaned down and kissed Alexis before pulling back and stroking her hair.

"I love you" He said simply.

"I love you too" With that, Alexis relaxed in Randy's arms, both of them feeling as if all was right in the world.
