Chapter 7

Royal Rumble: January 30, 2011

Kayla stood pacing the floors of the Divas locker room, Royal Rumble was finally here, tonight was the night, January 30th, she had finished writing all the scripts weeks ago and she was alleviated of that pain to say the least, however there was a new anxious feeling in her stomach, she didn't know whether to describe it as butterflies, nervousness or maybe happiness? She bit her lower lip as she ran her fingers through her wavy light brown hair and took a deep breath as she looked in front of the mirror in the bathroom of the locker room, she needed to look perfect, look the part tonight. Tonight not only was she a WWE writer but she was now a major part of the Royal Rumble, she was playing the part as Dwayne "the rock" Johnsons girlfriend in a promo they had to do together later on tonight. To say that she was nervous was an understatement; so much was riding on this…she remembered 3 weeks ago having the conversation about the script for Royal Rumble with Vince McMahon.

Flashback- 3 Weeks Prior

"Kayla, I believe this would be great exposure for Dwayne at this point and it can begin the feud with him and Randy," Vince paused a moment and looked up from his desk only to continue on "Being that on screen Randy will portray that he wants you for his own and the fact Dwayne has you will bring out his anger and hatred against Dwayne."

Kayla sighed and bit her lip, undecided about Vince`s idea…how ironic was it that Kayla was on a date with Dwayne only a couple days ago and they spoke of being in a relationship, that Dwayne wanted to help her get over Randy, and now there was a similar situation happening on screen? That was just too much of a coincidence.

"Vince are you sure this is the best way to go?" She question unsure, more for her own personal reasons, which Vince did not need to know about.

Vince smiled sincerely and walked around his desk to face her "Kayla I have no doubt you are a very talented girl and I know you can make this happen."

Kayla smiled at his confidence in her but inside she was shaken, she had no idea what this storyline would bring, was this going to unleash unwanted hell? But the again why would it, Randy cared not for her in such a way so why should she worry he would get angry and jealous, he made it clear to her so many times that there would never be anything serious between them, which is exactly why she ended it in the first place. She crossed her arms over her chest and smirked with confidence "I will make it happen Mr. McMahon".

Kayla shook her head from the thoughts of three weeks ago, she was so confident in herself that day and mainly because Dwayne would be happy to do the storyline with her, his expressed his feelings for her just nights before that, and until this day she has yet to give him any answer on whether or not she would be able to start a relationship with him, knowing that in her heart, Randy is still the one she loves.

Right now her worries weren't with doing the storyline, being with Dwayne or even making sure everything goes according to plan…her worries sat with the one, the only Randy Orton, yet again, his name never seems to go away. She was worried how he would actually react after doing this storyline, would he do it correctly or would he screw with it out of spite. There was only one reason why her mind was thinking this right now and it all happened about 2 weeks ago, a week after she had the talk with Vince McMahon…. her thoughts began to drift back again to that day.

Flashback- 2 Weeks Prior

Kayla rolled her eyes and laughed for the millionth time that night at her best friend and her sister, they were raging and going on and on about the tag team match they had tonight with Kelly Kelly and Eve. She swore that her head would combust if they continued on like this for the next five minutes.

Kayla placed her hands on her hips and smirked "Would you guys quit it!" she shook her head with an amused laugh "You guys will go out there, kick both their asses and win that match! So stop cackling!"

Nikki crossed her arms over her chest and matched her best friends smirk "Fine but you know that bitch Kelly Kelly is going to try and pull some stunt tonight."

Brie licked her lips and rolled her eyes "Please if she does, only more reason to beat her six feet under, I swear I can't stand that girl!"

Kayla just sighed and gave up, nothing would stop these two until they got into the ring "Look guys, your match is up in like two minutes, you should get to your positions at the gorilla and the after we can do all the celebrating you like!"

"Yeah your right…"

"Besides I'm ready to rip all of Kelly's pretty blonde hair out." Brie smirked evilly.

"GO!" Kayla demanded pointing to the left of her with a laugh.

Nikki groaned and laughed, "Fine" she and Brie both hugged Kayla and made their way down the hall to get to their position at the gorilla and start their match.

Kayla just watched them with a smile of amusement on her face 'this is going to be one interesting night on smack down.' She thought. Her thought were soon cut short as she yelped in fear feeling a strong pair of hands grab her arm and spin her around so fast she almost lost her balance. She was going to scream and kick and punch her way out of this situation which she thought was going to end up with her getting beat up but then her eyes met the icy blue ones of him…She swallowed hard, she saw he was 50 shades of pissed off, his eyes were on fire and they search furiously into hers.

"What the hell is the deal with this Kayla?!" he exclaimed holding up a copy of the script in his right hand, still not letting go of her arm.

It took her some maneuvering but she ripped her arm free from his hand and shook her head at him in confusion and disbelief 'what the hell is his problem'? "It`s called a script Randy, it's the thing you should be using to practice your lines."

Randy's glare still held hers "Cut the bullshit, don't play smart with me!" he flipped a couple pages of the script until he found the one he was looking for and shoved it into her hands "I mean this!"

She looked down at the page he was referring to and saw it was the storyline between her and Dwayne, which lead to him feuding with Dwayne over her. Her heart stopped, this wasn't good, and he was pissed, but why? She had no idea where his anger was coming from, she swallowed hard and slowly looked up to face him, her tone now lowering several notches "Randy…" she paused thinking how to start "For the life of me I cannot figure out why you are so pissed about this? Its just a storyline to get you and Dwayne feuding."

He laughed bitterly "Yeah Kayla!" he began "But its using you as our motivation for the feud, what is this?" he questioned "Is this your sick way of having me fight over you with Dwayne?!"

Kayla`s eyes widened and her jaw almost dropped, was he serious? Can someone have so much ego? Who the hell did Randy think he was? "What!?" she exclaimed "Randy this is my damn job, to make WWE entertaining and this is entertainment!" she exclaimed and continued "To be frank, this was not my idea but I went along with it because I thought it was good! I don't need you coming here and screaming at me about the way I do my job!"

"This isn't about your job Kayla! This is personal! You want to use this to see if you can get me to admit my feelings for you!" Randy pointed out frustration and anger all through his facial features.

Kayla was shocked. She laughed, she laughed so unamsumed "How can you drip so much arrogance and cockiness?" she questioned.

Randy placed his hands on both his sides, confused by her laugher "What?"

Kayla`s expression now turned deadly serious "What feelings Randy? You have no feeling for me, remember?! I was just sex to you, so why would I be living on false expectations?!" Kayla was now fuming, she was going to get her point across to Randy and let out all her hurt and anger "You told me, time and time again what we had could never be anything serious, that you could never commit to being with just me, so why the fuck would I bother to insist on your feelings?!" she paused a took a step closer to him, so close her could feel her breath on his skin "Get over yourself Randy, its time you had a fucking reality check." She whispered with pain and anger still filling her voice.

Randy was speechless, he just watched as she stared into his eyes, he could see all the pain she had in the and he knew he had caused that, he wanted to take everything back, he wanted her to be with him and know what he felt, but there was no way he was going to show it, he was too strong for that and his pride wouldn't let him, yet again.

Kayla brushed passed him and began walking away, but he was not going to let her have the last word, he was going to make her think about him, he wasn't going to let her go that easily "You sure this just isn't a plan to get me back in bed with you baby?" he smirked watching as she stopped walking and froze in her spot as he said that.

Kayla felt hot tears fall down her cheeks, she couldn't believe how Randy spoke to her, and she couldn't believe his ways. She thinks back to the nights she spent with him and how amazing they were, how caring her was with her and how great he made her feel, even if it was just for that one night and now…everything was different, he seemed like such an angry person now, why? They had ended things a little over a month ago, she shouldn't care that he`s not with her, he should be moving on to the next best thing, which is what she thought he would be doing but it seems like he`s hanging on to the end of the affair, if he didn't love her and didn't want her for long term then why waste so much energy on being pissed? 'Hold that thought' she told herself and ran from the mirror to the toilet in the bathroom and gagged, feeling the heave of vomit coming up her throat, and yes there it was, she was throwing up. This was the second time this week she has thrown up and it was beginning to take a toll on her, she felt as if she may have come down with the stomach flu.

"Kayla?!" She heard her name being called by a familiar female voice.

She wiped her mouth with tissue paper and replied, "In the bathroom, be right out!"

Kayla got up from her position near the toilet and walked over to the sink rinsing her mouth with water, she made a mental note to herself that she had to run to her bag and get a breath mint before anything else.

She slowly walked out of the bathroom, her stomach still a bit uneasy and smiled at Nikki sitting on the bench in her sweat pants and sports bra, obviously not ready for tonight but she had no need to worry it was still a couple of hours before show time. "Hey Nikks!" Kayla smiled and greeted quickly walking over to her purse and searching for breath mints.

"Hey girl!" She smiled back "So how are you feeling, I mean any more dizzy spells?" she questioned. Last week Kayla had a dizzy spell on Thursday night smackdown and almost passed out, she figured it could have been because she hadn't eaten anything in hours so they waved it off as that but Nikki still needed to be reassured that she was okay.

Kayla finally found her breath mints and popped one into her mouth, closing up her purse "No not at all." She smiled and continued to take a seat next to her best friend.

"So you ready for tonight?" Nikki smirked and nudged her on her side.

Kayla laughed softly and shook her head "Would you stop making a big deal of this?"

Nikki rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest "Kay, this is a big deal, I mean Dwayne has been after you for so long and he gave you an opportunity 3 weeks ago, which you still have not answered him on."

Kayla sighed "Nikki I told you I don't think I'm ready for this, my heart is still on Randy and a part of me thinks I will never be able to get over him and then there's the other part that wants to so bad because I would love to start over with Dwayne."

"And you should!" Nikki exclaimed "Girl forget about Randy, so many of his actions should tell you to rid your life of him" she explained, "Dwayne is such an amazing guy and he cares for you so much." She smirked "And I don't know if you have noticed but he is one sexy man."

"Who is sexy?" AJ walked in with a smirk on her face and a duffle bag in her hand.

Kayla groaned "Oh god…" she mumbled, great as if any more girls needed to be in on this conversation.

Nikki looked over at the diva that dropped her duffle bag feet away from her "Dwayne Johnson."

AJ bit her lip "Oh my god yes!" she looked at Kayla and smirked "Are you finally going to let him out of his misery and say yes to him on being exclusive with him?"

Kayla sighed and let her head fall back as she plopped down on the bench near Nikki "Oh you guys are not making this any easier for me."

Nikki sighed and at this point felt bad for Kayla, she had no idea what kind of position she was in, she knew how much Kayla was in love with Randy but it was never going to be what she wanted it to be and in Nikki`s mind Kayla needed to get over Randy and be truly happy and Dwayne may be the person to take all that pain and hurt away that Randy caused and give her true happiness. Nikki just wants Kayla to get everything she deserves. "Kayla, he doesn't deserve you, please don't put any more effort into the demon that is Randy Orton."

Kayla didn't know what to say, she just sat there and listened to the comforting words of her friends.

"Nikki is right…once that venom from the viper is out of your system you might be able to find true happiness with Dwayne." AJ commented soon after. AJ and Katilyn had found out soon after that the mystery man Kayla was in love with was Randy Orton and now took any chance they could to try and help her though this.

"Give him a chance hunnie." A different female voice spoke from the end of the locker room door. All the girls looked up and saw Katilyn. Both AJ and Nikki laughed, however Kayla just groaned, this was getting harder by the second and these girls were not making it any easier.

2 Hours Later

Kayla had just finished putting the finishing touches on her outfit. She smiled as she looked in the mirror in the locker room. She was wearing a sleeveless black sheath dress that hugged her curves nicely, in all the right places. She had patent red heels to bring a pop of color to the outfit and a gold chain and earrings to match as her accessories. 'Not bad for a writer and 'pose girlfriend' of Dwayne Johnson'. She gave a soft laugh at her thoughts. Her thoughts were soon cut off when she heard a loud whistle come from behind her.

"Wow Girl! Look at you!" Nikki smirked placing her hands on her hips "I think Dwayne may not be able to resist touching you tonight, and Randy…" she laughed and continued "He will be kicking himself for ever letting you get away."

Kayla blushed and hit her friend playfully on the arm "Oh hush up, it's a simple outfit."

"Mhmm." She smirked following right behind Kayla "Simple enough to make every wrestler on this rooster to do a double take, at the writer Miss. Kayla Brookes."

Kayla bit her lower lip and her smile faded "Hmm…I bet Randy wont notice shit."

Nikki sighed "So what?" she sat on the bench near Kayla "Dwayne is going to have you forgetting all about Randy, you watch!" she smirked.

Kayla shook her head and looked down at her watch "Well…" she began "the rumble is starting, so I have about another hour before I have to do my promo with Dwayne so I'm going to get something to snack on from catering, you want anything babe?"

Nikki shook her head and shrugged "No thanks, I actually have to start getting ready for my four way match with Brie, which by the way I need to see where she got lost to!" she laughed softly.

Kayla smirked "Yeah good luck with that, she seems to always find herself lost somewhere." She finished and walked out of the divas locker room and down the halls to catering.

As Kayla roamed the halls to reach catering, she started to hear voices and giggles as if coming from a girl. She rolled her eyes, it was probably just some divas flirting, she didn't let it bother her, until it got closer and it seemed as if she was going to pass by the giggling diva, in order to get to her destination. She held out her phone which was traveling in her hand at the moment and pinned in her lock code in order to text Dwayne, maybe he was here already and wanted to get something to eat with her before their promo?

Kayla: Hey You, you here and hungry? Meet me at Catering!

She sent the message when she was satisfied she rounded the corner and as soon as she looked up she soon quickly regretted wanting to go to catering at all, walking these halls at all, the sight in front of her wanted to make her crumble and cry. Randy stood in front of her with his arms wrapped around Kelly Kelly`s frame, his hands were tangled in her hair and his lips were busy grinding against hers. Kayla was frozen, she was hurt and in so much pain, she let tears spring from her eyes, she couldn't move, she wanted to run and get away before he saw her but she couldn't move. She was truly stuck.

If things weren't as bad as they could be, when she finally got the strength to walk away, Randy's head shot up at the sound of her heels slowly backing away. He looked up at her and for a split second she swore she could see remorse in his eyes.

"Kayla?" He asked letting his arms drop from Kelly Kelly`s sides.

She saw he was about to make his way towards her, she saw it in his body language, she had to run, she couldn't talk to him or face him, why was she so hurt and upset? She knew this was going to happen, Randy was going to forget about her and move on, she just didn't know it would hurt this much. She saw him getting closer to her, about 10 feet away, that's it, she bolted around the corner, she ran as fast as her heels would take her, she heard Randy's footsteps not too far away from her.

"Kayla! Wait!" Randy ran feet behind her, for a girl in heels she had a fast speed on her.

Kayla knew he was closing in on her, she made a fast turn and opened the first door she saw, closing it behind her. Once it was closed, she fell down the door letting tears run down her face.

Seconds later she heard Randy`s footsteps outside the door, is was quite for a minute and then suddenly she heard a loud bang on the wall near the left side of the door she ran inside of and she assumed Randy had punched the wall in anger. She heard a few curses fly out his mouth and then he slowly walked away.

She let out a deep breath and wiped away her tears, her heart was about to come out of her chest and her heart was broken and saddened, but she didn't want it to be, she wanted to be over Randy, she didn't want to feel this way anymore. She knew he was going to get over her! She knew he was going to move onto another woman! Why did this hurt so much?! Why couldn't she stop loving him?!

"I don't want to love you anymore…" She whispered lifting herself off the ground.

She slowly turned the knob on the door and cracked it open, nobody was in the surroundings that she was in; she slowly made her way out of the closet she ran into and closed it behind her. All she wanted to do right now was make her way to catering without another bad encounter with Randy.

She had so many emotions going through her, she was hurt and in pain but she was pissed at herself because she didn't want to be. 'Why should I have to suffer? Why do I need to love him?! This isn't fair!' she screamed at herself inside her head. And then suddenly something snapped! She was more pissed than she ever thought possible, she was fuming, her rage was altering, why should she have to suffer because of Randy? He was such an asshole and he didn't deserve her, just as Nikki said he didn't! She had to get over Randy, she was done with this shit, done with thinking about him, done with worrying about her feelings for him, and she was done with everything! She wanted nothing to do with Randy anymore; she was determined to stop loving Randy Orton!

Her attitude had changed within seconds from hurt and pain into frustration and anger! But this time she was done; she wanted to be over this and wanted to be happy. Two years ago she thought Randy could only make her happy but in the past month she realized that isn't the case at all. Nikki, AJ, and Katilyn were absolutely right and she couldn't believe how she didn't see it before this moment. She deserved to be happy…and maybe with Dwayne.

Kayla sighed and ran a hand gently through her freshly curled hair, she knew she would have to redo her makeup after she got back from catering, her eye makeup was most likely not in the best condition after crying but she dint need to mess with her hair either. She checked her phone that still laid in her hand, to see if Dwayne had texted her back at all and she did in fact see a new text from Dwayne. As she was making her way towards catering, she was about to open the message when she heard a voice call from behind her.

"Is that Kayla Brookes?"

Kayla smiled and bit her lower lip, she automatically knew who it was, she turned around and was met face to face with those beautiful chocolate brown eyes. He was gorgeous, sexy and handsome, she didn't understand why she didn't see Dwayne first, why couldn't she have fallen in love with him instead of Randy. His deep voice broke her from her thoughts.

"Wow…" he took her hands in his and pulled her closer to him "You look absolutely beautiful."

Kayla wanted to blush, but she didn't, she was so focused on something else, he was so amazing with her, he cared about her and treated her like a queen. It wasn't to late to try to be with Dwayne, it wasn't to late to be happy. Could she do it? More importantly could he make her completely forget about Randy? Not that she was thinking about him at all right at this moment.

Dwayne raised a brow, she had yet to say something, he rubbed her shoulder softly "Kayla, are you okay?"

Kayla let a small smile come upon her lips, and just as Dwayne was about to speak again, Kayla tugged at his shirt pulling him down to her and crashed her lips forcefully onto his. He was shocked at first, he was not expecting that at all, but that wasn't stopping him from reciprocating and sinking into her fierce kiss. He pulled her body even closer to his as their kiss deepened. His arms found their way around her waist and he rubbed gently as the small of her back as she allowed his tongue to enter her mouth and intertwine with his.

Her hands slowly made their way up to his neck and she left them there caressing his neck softly. She slowly pulled away from the kiss and leaned her forehead against his, the pair both out of breath "I think I'm going to be just fine." She whispered.

OMG! So a lot going on in Chapter 7! Did Kayla just kiss Dwayne?! Has Kayla`s anger and pain finally caused her to forget about Randy and her love for him or was it the kind words of Nikki, AJ, and Katilyn? Seems like Royal Rumble is bringing much more than just war in the ring, will there be a war for Kayla's heart or will Randy never accept how much he actually loves Kayla and let her go on with Dwayne... :) Please Read and Review, the more kind words i receive, the sooner I will be putting up the coming chapters! Thank you guys!
