Trish let out a groan of frustration as she stepped off the elevator. Of
all the people to get stuck on the elevator with, it had to be him. Even
the short trip had been agonizing and she should've just waited for the
next one to come. But no, she had to just get on and think that everything
would be a-ok, but nothing ever went smoothly when you wanted it to.
She needed to cool down right now because she was feeling really angry right now. How dare Randy try to set her up like that! She had thought that he had the capacity to be decent, but apparently that was all just a ruse. She should've figured that, why else would he be so nice to her? He was a part of Evolution and they were nothing but trouble, had been that way since they were founded.
She needed to cool off and rant to someone. Lita and Christian were doing a little sight-seeing today, though God knew why. They probably just wanted to go make out. It seemed everyone was pairing off nowadays. Maybe it was that spring fever thing and everyone just seemed to be falling under its spell. She needed to talk to someone though. She wracked her brain and finally came across a name that would help her out.
She walked up to Chris's hotel room and rapped on it loudly. She could believe that he was still asleep and she wanted to wake him up right now to talk to her. She kept knocking on the door, getting louder with each knock.
"Yeah, yeah, what is it?" Chris asked as he opened the door and saw Trish, "My beautiful ex-girlfriend!"
"Oh good, you seem to be awake," Trish said, storming into the room. Chris just watched her walk in without being invited. How typical Trish. He just closed the door behind him and walked over to where she was now sitting on the couch.
"You won't believe what I found out today!"
"What did you find out?"
"Well, for one, I just found out that you wear panties," Trish said, giving him an odd look as she looked to the closed bedroom door and a pair of hot pink lace panties bunched up in front of the door.
Chris chuckled nervously, "Oh, those aren't mine, I mean, you know, I guess they were...in my bag or something, you know, stupid fans, when you're trying to sign things they just you know, slip things into your bag trying to get you or something, must've slipped out or something."
"Why's the bedroom door closed?" Trish asked.
"Why does it have to be open?" he asked, shooting down her question with one of his own.
"Just wondering," she said, "Didn't figure you for one to pick up ring rats, so it must be someone in the company."
"Its nobody, you don't know anything," Chris said, "So come on, why are you here?"
"See, now I'm curious as to what is behind door number one, so I'm going to have to forgo the prize and go for the mystery."
"Trish, you want to go downstairs and eat?" Now Chris was just being evasive. Trish was so tempted to just go to the door and open it and find out who was on the other side. She had her suspicions though, it was probably the right suspicion to have knowing Chris as well as she did.
"Too bad I already ate," she said with a smirk.
Her answer was finally shown as Stephanie came walking out, in one of Chris's button downs and a pair of his boxer shorts. She was stretching her arms over her head and Chris's eyes widened before he got up to push Stephanie back into the bedroom. Stephanie opened her eyes and saw Trish over Chris's shoulder and waved before Chris pushed her into the room and then closed the door.
"She was um...just visiting and lost her room key so I let her stay with me."
"She apparently lost her clothes too huh?" Trish said knowingly.
"Well, you know, no pajamas, and shit, whatever, yes, Stephanie is in my room, fine, you got me!"
"So back at the top of the batting order," Trish said, knowing the brunette had preceded her in Chris's life.
"Yeah, I guess you can say that...you know, she is my go-to hitter," he said with a small smile.
"And she's the reason we didn't work out..."
"Trish, you're avoiding what you really came here to say and we both know it. Stephanie and I are old news, have been for years, but you, you're..."
"Alone. It becomes glaringly obvious. I mean, Lita and Christian are together and happy. You and Stephanie are together and happy, Vic and Stevie are happy, everyone has someone and I'm alone."
"I'm here."
"I thought you'd be the one person who would be alone like me, but nope, wrong again."
"What happened?" Chris asked her again.
"Randy, you know how I told you about how he was being nice to me and all that?"
"Uh huh."
"It was a fucking ambush!"
"You were beaten up," Chris said, his ears perking up. He and Trish may have been broken up, but that didn't mean he had stopped caring about her, "If they beat you up, then you only have to tell me and--"
"No, but get this, Randy was being nice to me because Molly is part of Evolution now!"
"Wow," Chris said, digesting the words, "So she's part of Evolution huh?"
"Yeah, and God, I can't believe I was nice to that jerk! I should've known."
Trish let out an anguished groan at her stupidity. She had actually been nice to that stupid preppy boy. She thought that maybe he had had a kind bone in his body. Maybe she had misjudged him all this time, but she had just been right. It served her right to be so foolish when dealing with one of that stupid group. At least she had found out before they could get to her.
"Trish, did he say that he was being nice to you as part of a plan?"
Trish looked up sharply to see Stephanie standing in the doorway to the bedroom, clothed in her own clothes now, "Well, no, he didn't but--"
"So you assumed it then?"
"Why else would he start being nice to me?"
"I think he likes you," Chris said, "I mean, you know. It makes sense. The guy never really had a chance to be nice to you before, maybe he's trying to make up for lost time."
"Are you siding with HIM!"
"No! I'm just saying, maybe, MAYBE you don't know the whole story. I'm not saying that he wasn't in the wrong with this."
"You think he'd tell me!"
Stephanie and Chris looked at each other and smirked those infamous smirks that used to get them into trouble. Trish sounded like an upset girlfriend right now more than anything else. Trish looked between the two of them and frowned. She had been around them before and knew that they were thinking along the same wavelength that nobody else knew.
"Ok, what's going on, what is this little thing you're talking about with your eyes, tell me!" She demanded to know what they were thinking.
"Maybe you like him," Stephanie said bluntly, "I think you like him Trish."
"Ugh! I HATE him! HATE as in you know, dislike, wish him pain and pestilence forever, hope that he gets in a horrible primping accident!"
"So much hatred," Chris said, "That's when you know."
"Know what," Trish said, then saw their faces, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no! I'm NOT like you two! I genuinely hate Randy, he's been nothing but an asshole to me, and he's not going to change any time soon. He should just go rot in hell, he's...he's an ass."
"Uh huh, she likes him," Stephanie said, "You like him Trish."
"I do not! Yuck! I hate Randy! Even saying his name leaves a dirty taste in my mouth."
"Oh, young love, its beautiful," Chris said, pretending to wipe a tear from his eye.
"You two are no help at all!"
"What do you want us to say Trish," Chris said, "That he's an asshole and his sole motive was to set you up and knock you down because he knew Molly was a part of Evolution?"
"Finally! YES, that's what I want to hear!"
"Well, you're going to have to go somewhere else to find it!"
"Oh, you two! I'm going to find someone who agrees with me!"
"Good luck!"
She stormed out of the room and saw Lita and Christian laughing as they walked down the hallway to their room. Christian was whispering into Lita's ear and she was wide-eyed before she would break out into an infectious laugh. Trish smiled triumphantly, finally finding people who would agree with her.
"You guys!"
"Oh hey Trish," Lita said, "Christian decided that sight-seeing was boring so we came back to the hotel for some different sight-seeing."
"Yeah, all the sights I want to see are in our hotel room," Christian said lecherously.
Trish made a face, "Guys, please, not while I'm around."
"Sorry," they both said, but didn't mean it.
"Look, I was with Chris who's with--"
"Stephanie, we know, those two are like the worst secret-keepers in the world. But I guess as long as Vince doesn't get wind of it, they're fine."
"Ok, good, you know then, and they think I like Randy, that's preposterous right?"
"Do you?" Christian asked her.
"What! What do you mean 'do I!"
"Well, I mean, do you," Lita said, "I don't think its that far out there."
"Did you not see him with Molly this morning, you were with me, you HAD to see, and he's been planning to attack me with Molly!"
"Really, he told you that?"
"No, but come on, what else could he have been doing! Being nice to me and all that!"
"Trish, calm down," Christian said, "You know, when I was looking at Randy and Molly this morning, he didn't look too happy to be there. Didn't look like he was enjoying himself."
"That's right, he looked kind of pissed actually," Lita agreed.
"Yeah, maybe he doesn't like Molly at all," Christian said, "Hey, maybe he likes you Trish, that could explain--"
"Not you too!"
"Well, did he SAY that he was planning an attack?"
"No, but Evolution guys! EV-O-LU-TION! They're always behind something."
"True, but you know, he could just be--"
Trish let out a low roar as she shoved past the both of them. Was everyone crack around here? Did they not see what Randy was really about? He was part of Evolution, they did bad things to good people, they were carousers, and just all around bad people. Randy was definitely one of them. With that stupid smirk of his on his face all the time. She hated that smirk, she'd love to kick that smirk off his face and just watch him fall to the ground in pain.
Her thoughts were rudely interrupted when she saw Randy meandering down the hallway ahead of her. Her eyes turned hot with anger and she was seeing red. All she wanted to do was run at him and just ram her body into his knocking him down. How dare he plan against her and how dare he get her friends to go along with what he said!
"Hey fucker!" she called out loudly.
Randy looked up after feeling sorry for himself, he had found himself on this floor, how he didn't know, but he had nonetheless. Trish was standing before him a little ways and she looked pissed enough to tear him apart. Her breath was in short, angry, little gasps and her hands were clenched at her side and she looked ready to pounce. He thought she looked absolutely gorgeous.
"Yeah, I'm talking to you!"
"Um, yeah," Randy said.
"How fucking dare you try to set me up!"
"Trish, it wasn't like that, I only found out--"
"Shut the fuck up, I don't care what you say, because you know what, you're just an asshole and try to do your worst Randy. I fucking dare you to do your goddamned worst to me!"
"Trish, I'm sorry, I didn't know it would hurt you like this."
"Oh give it up you idiot, I'm on to you and your little games, so just give it up, I'm sickened by you. So go running back to Molly and tell her that I know what's going on and she can beat me up, but I'm still going to take her title from her."
Randy watched her turn and walk away, still huffy. How could he get her to believe that he wasn't in on any plan and that Molly being a part of Evolution? She was at a point where she wasn't going to believe anything she said, and he knew that. He just had to get past that. He would though.
He was going to come to a point where Trish would not walk away from him again.
She needed to cool down right now because she was feeling really angry right now. How dare Randy try to set her up like that! She had thought that he had the capacity to be decent, but apparently that was all just a ruse. She should've figured that, why else would he be so nice to her?

"She was um...just visiting and lost her room key so I let her stay with me."
"She apparently lost her clothes too huh?" Trish said knowingly.
"Well, you know, no pajamas, and shit, whatever, yes, Stephanie is in my room, fine, you got me!"
"So back at the top of the batting order," Trish said, knowing the brunette had preceded her in Chris's life.
