Chapter 17

It was a gorgeous day in Orlando, Florida. The sun was out, the sky was blue, and nothing could take away the smile that was currently lit on Jordan Ryan's face. She knew better than to try to bullshit herself and was not going to even try to act like the weather was the source of her sunny disposition; it was the kiss that she had shared with Randy just two day before and the phone call that followed it two short hours later from John, that said Randy didn't have any serious injuries from the match with Mick.

Everything about Jordan's mood had changed. Hell, she had even forgone her usual black attire for a lilac-colored floral print sundress that matched the beautiful Florida weather. What she was most thankful for, was the support that Trish and Amy had shown her when she had told them about the kiss. Any of her friends from home would tell her that she was being rash and stupid and that she clearly shouldn't trust a guy so easily, but the girls just squealed in happiness knowing that, at least for that moment, Jordan had been happy.

Her cheerful attitude carried her into the arena that the RAW roster was filming two house shows and the next weeks RAW at. She knew she had a lot to do for the day; she has arena bookings to call in, promos to schedule, and costumes to look over but today it seemed fun rather that tedious.

The arena seemed practically empty and Jordan could hear the quiet click of her heels on the cement.

'This is what I love about getting to the venues so early,' Jordan thought to herself. 'No one to interrupt my…'

Jordan thoughts were ceased as she felt someone grab her hand and spin her into a nearby room. Her senses exploded as she felt undeniably familiar lips meld into hers. She felt herself being pushed against the now closed door as she also felt the color in her cheeks flush. Her senses were on overload and she let go of all thoughts as her mouth moved in sync with her partner's undeniable passion. Before she realized it, she felt her feet lift from the ground as two strong arms enveloped her waist and lifted her to more fully meet his lips. Her legs instinctively wrapped around his waist as she felt his tongue softly part her lips. She let out a small gasp as his tongue met hers and pulled his head as closed to hers as she could. Much to her disappointment, her partner pulled away.

She slowly lifted her gaze until it locked with the fiery blue that was burning into her. She saw him smile before he spoke and she could not decide if it was cocky or almost playfully bashful.

"I half expected you to slap me for doing that," Randy said.

"Yeah, well then I guess we are both pleasantly surprised then," Jordan replied as she tried to hide red cheeks. She could not hide her smile though.

"You're blushing," Randy said with a laugh. "I made the Jordan Ryan blush."

"Well, it's not everyday that I am randomly pulled into a guy's locker room to make-out," Jordan said before smirking at how incredibly high-school it sounded. "Hope we don't get in trouble by Principal Bischoff."

Randy laughed loudly as he sat down before answering. "He's not even here yet, only crew is. I just came early to stretch and warm-up some before my match. My shoulder is still a little tense," he said while stretching his right shoulder out.

Jordan felt a slight tinge of panic at this. "The doctor said it was ok though, right? I mean you're cleared to wrestle and all that, right?"

Randy smiled at the concern in the brunette's voice. He could not for the life of him understand what he had done right to get the woman in front of him to care about him. He watched as she touched his shoulder after he stopped moving it and softly massaged it with her hands. He looked up from the bench that he was sitting on into her piercing green eyes.

"Sometimes I wish you knew what you did to me, Feisty," Randy said quietly while his eyes penetrated hers.

Jordan tried to force herself to look away from Randy's eyes but she couldn't. So instead she matched his breathy whisper.

"What do I do to you?" She breathed out as she moved closer to his sitting form.

Randy stood up and gently cupped her face with his hand. Her body was like a magnet as he felt himself right up against her.

"You…" Randy started before he heard the large locker room door crash open. He heard a familiar voice singing out.

"Shot through the heart and you're too late, darlin' you give love a bad….," Chris stopped his loud singing as he saw the pair. "Oh, hey guys. Hope I'm not interrupting anything," he said as he raised his eyebrows suggestively at Jordan as Randy quickly stepped away from her and grabbed some nearby athletic tape.

"No, nothing at all Chris," Randy said as he wrapped his left wrist. "What could you have possible interrupted," Randy said with fiery sarcasm.

"Oookay… I'm going to go for a run, want to come, J?" Chris said with some embarrassment.

"Nah, I have some work I have to take care of before the show tonight, thanks for the invite though," Jordan said his a genuine smile as she tried to slow her increased heart rate.

The pair watched as Chris dumped his bag and grabbed his I-pod before he left. The stood in silence before Jordan finally spoke up.

"I really do have to get to work so I should probably let you get to your work out," Jordan stammered. She knew that she was taking the easy way out but she really did have work and she wasn't sure she was ready to hear what Randy would have said next had Chris not so eloquently interrupted him. She grabbed her bag and was turning to leave as she felt his hand catch her arm. It was sad to admit, but she immediately felt her arm heat up her he was touching her.

"Just promise not to run away, ok?" Randy said with the more sincerity in his eyes than Jordan had ever seen. "I know I have fucked up and I know I have made mistakes, but we have something here," Randy slid his hand down from her arm into her hand as he continued. "I know you feel it too. I can see it in your eyes Jordan. This business, the traveling, and hell my life in general, has jaded me a little bit. But for the first time in so long, I know what I want Jordan. I want you and I am through trying to act like it's not."

This was the crossroads and Jordan could feel it. This is when she could be typical Jordan and run from the feelings that were threatening to swallow her whole. She knew that it would probably save her a whole lot of heartache if she just looked into the blue eyes staring anxiously back at her and say that she couldn't be what he wanted her to be. She honestly didn't know what scared her more, being with Randy or being without him. She felt her heart beat heavily and before she had even more time to think she knew she had made up her mind.

Jordan slowly pulled her hand from Randy grasp and watched as his beautiful blue eyes fell.

He coughed awkwardly. "Ok, well I should probably go," Randy said as he turned to leave. Before he could, Jordan reached up and touched his face. Randy looked down at her in pure confusion. Before he had time to speak, Jordan leaned up and softly pressed her lips against his. Her face broke out into a smile.

"Pretty boy, I don't think I could run anymore even if I wanted to."

Jordan saw Randy's face break out in a boyish grin as he picked her up into a hug.

"Ugh, put me down you big lug," Jordan said with a laugh as she hit his back.

Randy put her down and smiled widely at her.

"Hey, play nice Feisty, and maybe I'll let you watch me work-out without my shirt on," Randy said with a devilish grin.

"Oh, now there's a treat," Jordan said with sarcasm as she rolled her eyes. But on the inside, her mind was definitely not opposed to the idea at all.

'Maybe, I'll play nice after all,' Jordan thought with a smile.
