Chapter 5 – Confusion All Around

Randy just stood there staring at Alex. He couldn't believe that she was really there. Alex just stood there looking back at Randy. She had a little smirk on her face because she was expecting Randy to react this way. Deep down though she was scared to death because she had no idea what to say to Randy about how she really felt. How do you tell someone that you really are in love with them after you were the one who left? How do you do that especially when they have already moved on with someone else? John decided that he couldn't stand the silence that was engulfing Randy and Alex.

"So…I guess you two need to do a lot of catching up. It's probably time for me to leave then." John turned to leave the two of them.

Alex gently touched his arm to stop him. "No John, you don't have to do that."

John shrugged his shoulders. "Oh no, its really alright Alex. I have to get going anyways. You and Randy have some things to talk about I'm sure. We'll catch up later."

Alex conceded and let go of John's arm. "Alright John, I'm counting on it."

John just grinned. "You bet." Then John left.

"You know I should probably be going to." Sandra said. "You two obviously have some catching up to do so I'll see you later Alex."

"Alright, thank you for showing me around Sandra."

Sandra nodded. "No problem." Then Sandra left, leaving Randy and Alex there but they were not alone. Stacy had followed Randy across catering and was now trying to take Randy's attention away from Alex but to no avail. Randy just continued looking at Alex. Alex crossed her arms with a little smirk on her face again and finally she couldn't take it.

"So are you going to keep staring at me all day or are you actually going to say something?"

This brought Randy back to his senses. "Yeah we definitely need to talk but…" Randy looked over his shoulder at Stacy. "Can we go some place a little more private?"

Alex just nodded her head. Randy turned to Stacy and explained how he needed to talk to Alex alone. Stacy looked upset and hurt but she didn't try and stop Randy because she didn't want to make a scene. So Randy took hold of Alex's arm ever so slightly and led her into another room where no one was. Alex again stood there with her arms crossed waiting for Randy to make the first move. Randy was at a loss for words though, he didn't even know where to begin.

Alex looked at her watch. "Alright so if you don't have anything to say, I do have a lot of other things that I could be doing right now."

Randy sighed. "Why are you like that?" Randy questioned.

Alex was confused. "Like what?"

Randy gestured towards the way Alex was standing with her arms crossed looking upset. "Like that? I'm happy to see you but you don't seem so happy to see me."

Alex uncrossed her arms. "I'm not trying to be like that Randy but I'm just kind of surprised. I mean it wasn't very long ago that you were asking me to stay and then I come back two weeks ago and find you with Stacy." Alex shrugged her shoulders. "I just don't understand."

Randy looked confused at what Alex said. "Wait, you saw me and Stacy two weeks ago? I thought I saw you but then I thought I was seeing things."

Alex nodded her head. "Yeah, I had an interview."

Randy was trying to process all of this sudden information. "You mean for a job? So you being here now means that you have a job here?"

Alex grinned. "Yes Randy, I am now the newest edition to the Raw writing team."

"Whatever happened to all that crap about you loving teaching?"

"I did love it. That wasn't crap. But, after being here and going back to that, it just wasn't the same. I really enjoyed my week with the WWE and when this opportunity came up traveling with the WWE and writing, I couldn't pass it up."

Randy thought about that for a second and couldn't help himself from grinning. "So those were your only reasons for coming back?"

"Yes. What else would there be?" Alex wasn't about to admit to Randy that he was part of her reason for coming back.

"Oh, c'mon Alex. You may think that you can fool a lot of people but you can't fool me. You were just as upset when you left as I was. We both felt something that week."

Alex shrugged and crossed her arms again. "Yeah, maybe we did but it seems that you have moved on so maybe I have too."

"You've moved on, huh?" Randy grinned his ever so perfect grin and circled around Alex just looking her up and down. It was making Alex somewhat uncomfortable but that was Randy's goal. He walked up really close behind her but didn't touch her. Randy was so close that Alex could feel Randy's breathing on her neck and it was driving her crazy. Randy moved in even more and whispered into Alex's ear. "Now tell me that you've moved on."

That one simple action and phrase was almost Alex's undoing. She wanted to grab Randy right there and kiss him until their lips fell off but she didn't. She refused to be the other girl. Randy was with Stacy now and Alex knew that she was just going to have to accept that.

Alex fought her feelings and moved away from Randy. "Randy you've moved on and I have too. I'm sure Stacy is wondering what is taking so long so we better get back. I'll see you around."

With that said Alex walked out the door leaving Randy staring after her. Randy knew he had affected her the same way that she still affected him. The question now was what he was going to do about it. It wasn't that he didn't like Stacy. He did like Stacy. She was a genuinely nice, caring person. It wasn't like he just jumped into something with Stacy because he couldn't have Alex. Randy had been friends with Stacy long before Alex. The only problem that Randy found now was that he knew he cared for Alex more than he cared for Stacy. Then again though Alex seemed different and somewhat distant. Randy just had to figure out what he wanted and then what to do about that without hurting anyone.

Alex walked down the hall after leaving Randy thinking she would feel relieved but in actuality she was just even more confused than ever. It appeared that Randy felt something too but then why was he with Stacy? Alex didn't know why she always got that way around Randy. She felt like she had to be defensive now which may have made her appear bitchy when she really wasn't. Alex just always felt like she had to put up walls to avoid getting hurt. She wasn't going to allow Randy to hurt her.

Randy left the room only shortly after Alex to go and find Stacy again. Randy figured Stacy would probably be jealous that he had wanted privacy with Alex. He was right too. Randy found Stacy still in catering waiting for his return.

"Hey babe." Randy walked up and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Stacy moved away from him and crossed her arms. "Did you have enough alone time with Alex?"

Randy smirked. "Aww, c'mon Stacy. Don't be that way. You know that Alex and I are just friends."

"Yeah, I'm so sure."

Randy rolled his eyes. "Stacy I just don't understand your jealousy. You get angry when a girl even looks at me."

Stacy turned back to Randy and wrapped her arms around his mid-section. "I'm sorry Randy I don't mean to be so jealous but you're an attractive man. I just don't want to lose you."

Randy hugged Stacy back. "It's alright babe. I'm jealous sometimes too. I just don't want you to worry so much."

"I'll try not too."

Then Randy had to go get ready for his match so he and Stacy left catering hand in hand. This little interaction didn't go unnoticed by a certain individual. Alex had gone back to catering too and she saw the whole thing. Alex really didn't understand Randy. At one point it seemed like he wanted Stacy, then it seemed like he wanted her, now it seemed like he wanted Stacy again. Alex just wanted that boy to make up his mind. He couldn't have everything and sooner or later he would have to make a decision. The question remained whether Alex would hold on long enough to wait for Randy or whether she would move on to someone else?

Alex didn't know but she did know that John had just walked back in to catering and she was determined to catch up with an old friend. They may have started out on the wrong foot those months ago but John was legitimately a nice guy.

Alex walked over towards John without him knowing. "Hey John…I have to get back to work right now but do you want to hang out after the show and do that catching up thing we were talking about?"

John turned around and just grinned. "Of course. How did your talk with Randy go?"

"We'll talk about it later." Alex said as she turned to leave.

"I can't wait." John grinned.

"Oh, I'm sure." Alex said over her shoulder as she left.

John just shook his head after she left and said more to himself than anyone else. "What is to be done about those two?" Then John left to get ready for his match later that night.


A/N – Good question John. What is to be done? Hmm…we shall see. Thank you so much to all of my reviewers. I'll be using that new reply system I guess now to answer your reviews.

I'm really not exactly sure where I am going with this but I have a few ideas so keep the support coming and I'll keep writing.
