Chapter 6 – Let the Games Begin
After the show that night, Alex met John outside the locker room so they could decide what to do. The two just wanted to catch up but they decided that going out to a club would be a fun way to catch up. John wasn't surprised to see many of the other WWE superstars there as well. Much to Alex's dismay, Randy and Stacy were there too. As Alex and John walked into the club she couldn't help reminiscing about the last time she was in a club with a bunch of WWE superstars.
Alex turned to John and yelled, trying to get him to hear her over the pounding music. "Do you remember the last time we were in a club together?"
John grinned. "Yeah, I believe I was shoving my tongue down your throat."
Alex laughed. "Yup, that pretty much sums it up. I don't think we need any repeats of that."
John joined her in laughing. "Don't worry I wasn't planning on it."
"That's good…" Alex grinned. "…not that, you know I wouldn't mind or anything."
John quirked his eyebrows. "Oh really?"
Alex just laughed, grinned, and pulled John onto the dance floor. They were laughing and having a good time moving to the beat. Their interaction didn't go unnoticed by Randy, who couldn't help himself from getting a twinge of jealousy over seeing the two of them together. The fact that John wasn't holding Alex like a friend wasn't helping matters either. They were definitely getting close on the dance floor. After a few songs though they decided to take a break. John led Alex a table in the back, away from the dance floor where it was a little quieter, so that they could talk.
"Do you still not drink?" John questioned once he had Alex sitting in the booth.
Alex smiled because John remembered. "Yeah."
"Alright, so would you like some water instead?"
Alex grinned. "That would be great."
So John headed to the bar to get himself a beer and to get Alex some water. Then John got back to the booth and sat down across from Alex handing her water to her. "So how was your first night working with the WWE?" John asked as he took a swig of his beer.
Alex got a huge smile on her face. "It was so amazing John. I really love it already. I mean I'm writing, which is always great, and I'm working with really awesome people."
"I'm glad you are enjoying yourself. Now what about Randy? I saw the way you looked when he walked in with Stacy."
Alex rolled her eyes at John. "How did I know that you would work that into the conversation?"
John smiled. "Aww, c'mon Alex. You told me that you would tell me what happened. I don't even really know what went down between the two of you while you were here."
Alex sighed knowing that John should know what was going on but wasn't sure if she was ready to explain it. "John…it's just complicated."
John leaned back against the booth. "We have time."
Alex sighed again. "When I first met Randy there was an immediate attraction. I know we both felt it but I tried very hard to avoid what I was feeling. I believed that I would have fun for a week but when the week was over I would go back to Fair Grove and continue with my life. I didn't want to get too close to Randy just to leave again. It was really hard but I kept my feelings at bay. There was many times when I wanted to kiss Randy and tell him how I felt but I just couldn't. Then the day I left, I just couldn't leave without doing something so I gave him an amazing goodbye kiss. That kiss…I haven't been able to forget about it and I definitely haven't been able to forget about Randy."
"So, you came back expecting to pick up where you left off with him?" John leaned in as he questioned.
"Yeah I guess so. Was that naïve of me?"
John sighed. "I don't think it was naïve of you. I think it was just what you really wanted to have happen in a perfect world. The problem is that the world isn't perfect. So what happened when you talked to him today?"
Alex laughed and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't really know. I explained to him what I was doing here because he was obviously confused about that. Then he tried to tell me that the only reason I came back was for him, which isn't true. I will admit that he was a nice perk but he wasn't the entire reason. It was weird because when I first saw him last week with Stacy it looked like he was really into her, then today it seemed like he wanted something with me, but then he turned around and went right back to her. He is just so confusing."
John nodded his head. "I think the problem is just that Randy doesn't really know what he wants. He is trying to feel things out to determine what he really wants."
"Yeah well, I don't want it to be like that. Is it so wrong for me to want him to want me and only me?"
John took Alex's hand to calm her. "No, everyone wants to have someone who wants only them. Maybe you just have to make Randy see what he is missing."
Alex got a sly little grin on her face. "You mean make him jealous?"
John nodded. "That could work."
Alex grinned. "I like the way you think..." Then she pulled John towards the dance floor. She smirked as she looked over her shoulder at John "…and I know just who can help me."
John just laughed as he let Alex pull him to the dance floor knowing exactly what she had in mind. "Whatever you say…"
The next hour or so was spent by Alex and John, on the dance floor. They were having a blast trying to make Randy as jealous as possible. Alex noticed Randy's eyes on her and John practically the whole time they were on the dance floor. His weren't the only eyes though either. Everyone pretty much noticed the way that John and Alex were dancing. Randy noticed at one point that Alex had her back to John and John's arms were circled around her waist while Alex's arms went up around John's neck. John was leaning down doing what looked like kissing her neck but Randy couldn't be sure. There was absolutely no space between them either. Randy really wanted to go and break them up right at the moment but he had to restrain himself because he was with Stacy and he knew he wasn't even supposed to be having feelings for Alex when he was with Stacy. The problem was that he was having feelings for Alex.
The next thing Randy knew he saw Alex and John leaving the club hand and hand. He didn't know what was going on but he definitely didn't like the looks of that.
Once John and Alex got outside the club and into their taxi they stopped holding hands and started laughing hysterically. They had both been sneaking glances at Randy all night and he had been getting jealous, jealous, and even more jealous all night. It was hilarious to Alex and John that their plan actually worked out perfectly. Well as far as they knew based on how he looked but no one could really ever be sure what Randy was really thinking.
On the way back to the hotel the two decided to get out and walk the rest of the way to the hotel so John paid the fare for the cab and then they started walking down the street.
Alex still couldn't help herself from laughing. "Did you see the look on his face? It was priceless!"
John laughed too. "Yeah, he did look pretty mad. I wasn't sure what he wanted to do more grab you away from me or deck me."
"Probably both." Alex replied with a laugh.
"Yeah, probably grab you and then deck me. But he didn't…" John looked at Alex to see if she knew what he was going to say next and Alex just rolled her eyes as they said together. "…because of Stacy."
They both started laughing. Then Alex stopped. She stopped laughing and walking and just looked at John like she wanted to say something serious. "You know John, I really do appreciate what you did back there. It was fun and maybe it will get Randy to think about what he is missing."
"Yeah, that or it will blow up in your face." John grinned as Alex playfully smacked him upside the head.
"Funny John…funny."
John grinned again. "Don't you worry it wasn't torture for me. I mean I got to hold a gorgeous girl in my arms all night."
Alex again playfully smacked him upside the head. "Maybe you enjoyed it a little bit too much. But, really I appreciate your help."
John shrugged his shoulders. "No problem. That's what I'm here for."
At this point they were coming up to the hotel and they noticed Stacy and Randy getting out of a cab so John and Alex went back to holding hands as they followed Randy and Stacy back into the hotel. Alex saw Randy quickly send a glance her way but she just snuggled in closer to John. Randy and Stacy quickly got on an elevator and Alex and John were about to when they heard a woman's voice. "John? …and Alex?"
They turned around and John's mouth dropped but Alex composed herself enough to get out. "Desiree?"
A/N – Dun, dun, dun…Man, I am one evil person. Yup, that's right, I'm going to end that chapter right there. Do you all remember Desiree, aka Rae, from The Contest? If not, I'm sure you'll remember in the next chapter. Ooh boy! I wonder what she is doing back? Can you all guess?
