"So Randy, what is your part in this little group?"
"I'm the Intercontinental champion," he said to Molly, "I don't think there's much more you need to know than that."
"Oh, come on, we're teammates now, doesn't that mean we should get to know each other?"
"No, I don't think that means we need to know each other," he responded.
Molly stirred her straw in the soda that she had been drinking. For some reason, the guys thought that he should be the one to go eat with Molly, to make sure that nothing went down at the restaurant. He didn't know what they expected, did they think that suddenly someone would come and beat on Molly in a restaurant? It seemed just so odd, and ridiculous, but far be it for him to question the group.
"Why?" she asked.
"Look, we just work together, that's it."
"But you know all the rest of the guys, what's wrong with me? Why can't you get to know me?"
"Fine Molly, what do you want to know?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?" she asked coyly.
Randy inwardly groaned. How did he know that would be the first thing that Molly brought up? He didn't want to know what Molly thought about him. He would much rather think about what Trish saw about him, but he had a feeling that after she found out that Molly was in Evolution now, whatever cordial relationship they had would disintegrate.
"No," he said, "But no one in Evolution does, we feel it'd spoil the image."
There, that seemed a good enough answer to her question and it was all the information he wanted to give her at the moment. Molly nodded her head slowly, taking in all the information that he had just said. She didn't exactly like what he was saying, but she would accept it, for now.
"And how do you feel about that particular situation?"
"I'm fine with it, I don't want to be tied down," he lied, looking at her pointedly.
Molly just smirked and drank some of her Coke. She lifted her eyes and saw that Trish was walking into the restaurant with Lita and Christian. She pulled away from her drink and smiled as she saw them walking over. Trish looked over and saw her arch-nemesis sitting at a table with Randy.
Randy saw Molly looking at something and turned his head to see. He cursed as he saw Trish there with her friends. She simply lifted one of her eyebrows at him, surely a signal of acknowledging his presence. Randy gulped as she walked by, stalwart and silent. He followed her with his eyes until she sat down and lifted up her menu to cover her face.
Molly looked at him, "And it all becomes clear."
Randy turned to look at her once again, "What are you talking about?"
"You thinking about crossing enemy lines to get your hands on her?" Molly asked him point blank and not beating around the bush.
"With who?"
"Trish Stratus," Molly said with disdain, "Maybe the boys in Evolution can't see it, but you've got me in the group now, and I'm way more observant than they are, and you must think I'm an idiot if you think I don't see the way you look at her."
"You're wrong," Randy denied fervently, "I don't like Trish."
Molly slammed her fist down on the table, causing several other patrons to glance over at her, "Cut the crap Orton, I can see what's in front of my eyes!"
Randy pressed his back against the seat, more in shock by her outburst than by her words. Who knew that Molly could get so angry. He knew she could be mean, but never this...dominating. He leaned forward and put both palms on his table, giving her a fierce look. She met him with one of her own.
"Look, even IF I did like Trish, I don't see how it's any of your goddamned business."
"Oh, but you see, you don't exactly get what I'm saying here, it IS my business, because I am now a part of Evolution," she shot back with an evil smile.
"So, what does that have to do with anything, just stay out of my business!"
Randy got up and started walking out of the restaurant. Molly rolled her eyes and followed him. He looked over his shoulder and saw her following him. He quickened his pace, but she just kept following. He started to make a mad dash for the elevators and saw that one was opening just as he got there. He quickly stepped inside and started frantically pushing the "door close" button. He sighed in relief as the doors started to slide closed, but they weren't quick enough because seconds later Molly squeezed herself in, trapping her and Randy in the elevator for what was sure to be a long, arduous trip.
"Can't escape me that easily," she said smoothly as she stood in front of him.
"I'm through talking with you Molly," Randy said, staring forward stonily.
"No, we're not through Randy, because it seems that now I have something to hold over your head," Molly said, "I wonder what your friends would say if they knew you were crushing over the blonde bimbo."
"They won't find out, because there's nothing to find out."
"It's such a pity that I'm going to have to destroy her," Molly said, tapping her chin, "I mean, I hope you like your little blonde bloody and broken."
"I don't care," Randy said, but he had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from getting angry with her.
"I'm sure you don't," Molly said, "But that's beside the point now, because you're going to be the one who helps me do it."
"What?" Randy said, staring a hole into her face.
"You heard me," Molly answered, "You're on my team now, and we all help each other. Trish wants my title, and I have to do everything in my power to make sure that that doesn't happen."
"It won't, you're with Evolution and we take care of our members."
"You know, I almost believed it that time," Molly said as the elevator dinged on her floor, "This is my stop, but don't forget Randy, I know what's going on, and you're not going to fool me. One false step and I can have the rest of Evolution beating you down. Goodbye."
The doors swung shut and Randy swallowed in disgust. He really couldn't stand that smug little bitch. Threatening him, how dare she do something like that? He wasn't going to get bossed around by anyone, least of all a woman half his size. So distracted was he, he didn't realize that he had gone up to his floor, but hadn't gotten off and found himself going back all the way down to the ground floor.
The doors dinged again and opened up and he saw Trish standing there, waiting for the elevator. She saw him in the elevator and she calmly walked in and stood over on the other side as soon as she had pushed the button for her floor. The doors shut and this time, Randy was feeling good about who he was stuck in the elevator with.
"Hey Trish."
"Randy," she said curtly, not turning her head.
"How are you?"
"Full," she replied, "Had a big breakfast, did you enjoy your breakfast with...Molly?"
"No," he said bluntly, "I don't really like her."
"Well, the rumor mill has been working over time with the two of you. Word is, she's the newest member of Evolution."
Randy sighed. The truth traveled way too quickly around here for his liking. He hadn't even prepared anything he was going to say to her in case this situation arose. Now it was here and he was completely unprepared for the conversation that was coming. She turned around slightly to look at him since he was being so silent.
"That's true."
"I figured as much when I saw you two together this morning."
"Oh."
"Interesting situation you have there, how do you feel about her joining you?"
"I'm not too sure about it."
"Really, I thought you'd be ecstatic about it, probably makes whatever plan you have for me that much easier."
Randy furrowed his brow in confusion, "Plan?"
Now Trish turned around to fully face him, "You don't think I don't know what's going on!"
Randy was very confused now, "I'm not getting what you're saying."
"Oh, don't give me the bullshit innocent act," Trish said, "All of this between us, and then the thing with Molly joining you, how long have you known about her joining Evolution."
"Um, a few days," he said.
Trish glared at him. To her, everything she saw in Randy was a lie. He had never been anything but an asshole, and she wasn't going to change her opinion now. Randy looked down for a second. He didn't know how to make Trish believe him, at this point, maybe it was just a lost cause.
"Yeah right, I'm sure you knew about this for a while, and that's why you've been trying to be so nice to me!"
"Trish, I swear, that's not how it is!"
"Give me a break Randy Orton, I can see through your lame attempt to get at me. Go tell Molly her stupid plan isn't going to work."
The door opened right at that moment, fortunately for Trish, and she got off the elevator. Randy closed his eyes as Trish left and let out a breath. He didn't even know why he bothered some of the time. Trish was a difficult one to deal with, and he could tell that it would only get more difficult in the future. If there was even a future with Trish.
He was starting to think she was just a lost cause.
"I'm the Intercontinental champion," he said to Molly, "I don't think there's much more you need to know than that."
"Oh, come on, we're teammates now, doesn't that mean we should get to know each other?"
