FFW 2 HOURS 15 MINUTES

I woke up suddenly to the sound of Thanks For The Memories playing on my Blackberry phone, I picked it up of the coffee table and pressed green,

"Hello?"

"Hey... open the door"

"Oh are you outside?"

"No! I'm swimming in a friggin' canal! Of course I'm outside"

"Wow! No need to be snappy... one second" I finished, before putting the phone down and walking to the door – unlocking it and letting Randy in, "What's wrong with you Mr. grumpy boots?"

"Nothing... I think it's the lack of sleep getting to me" Randy replied, collapsing on the sofa and sighing, "I can't wait to get back to Jeff's later!"

"Same" I replied, picking up my clothes from earlier and pulling my jeans on underneath my dress, "Unfortunately, we have another early morning tomorrow for that fuckin' photoshoot!"

"Yeah, but be thankful it's spread across 2 days" Randy replied, as I yanked my dress off over my head, before pulling my white grandad top on, "at least we get time to rest and relax..." he continued, as I pulled on my shoes, "There's nothing worse than having to do an early morning, a long flight, then a photo-shoot than goes on into the early hours of the morning, then having to get up early again for signings... be thankful!"

"Ok, ok" I replied, laughing, "I'm thankful"

"Good" Randy said, pulling himself outta the seat, "C'mon... let's get this fight outta the way"

"C'mon" I said, giggling as we left the room...

FFW 5 MINUTES

"This next bout is a No Disqualification match... And first up, from St. Louis, Missouri... being accompanied to the ring by Sydney... RANDYYYY ORTONNN!" Justin Roberts shouted down the mic, as me and Randy entered and began to walk down the ramp – as the fans boo's echoed through the arena. We stood in the middle of the ring and waited for Cena to enter, as his music hit, I sighed and rubbed my fingers in a circular movement over the sides of my temple – as if the music gave me a headache,

"and his opponent, from West Newbury, Massachusetts... being accompanied to the ring by Ashley... JOHHNNN CENAAA!" the crowd went wild as Justin Roberts finished the sentence and Cena and Ashley jumped through the curtain and ran down towards the ring. Me and Randy backed up a bit as Cena did his usual in-ring, entrance routines. Cena and Randy stood nose to nose as me and Ashley climbed out of the ring and stood on opposite sides to each other, the bell rung and the match started with a lock up...

FFW TO END OF MATCH

The match had gone both ways, weapons were used and both me and Ashley had gotten involved more than once – be it with stopping a pin fall, or hitting the opponent. I watched on from the apron as Randy was thrown into the corner, I began to slam down on the mat – hoping it would help him. I looked over at Ashley who was rummaging underneath the ring for something, I quickly grabbed the deformed steel chair of the floor, and jogged round to Ashley before smacking her with the chair and smirking at John who was stood gobsmacked in the middle of the ring – this served as a distraction, and Randy got the upper hand. Randy delivered a back breaker and stood up smirking, looking in my direction.

"You want a chair?" I shouted to him,

"Get me a chair!" Randy shouted back, before turning back towards Cena and stamping on his legs and arms. I walked towards the announcers and grabbed a steel chair from one of the camera crew, turned towards the ring and threw it in. Randy picked it up and smacked Cena several times with it, while I grabbed a second chair and climbed into the ring. I stood in the middle of the squared circle and set the chair up before backing up into the corner,

"RKO HIM!" I shouted to Randy, while pointing at the chair,

"OVER THAT?" Randy shouted back, while I smirked at him,

"RKO HIM ON THAT!" I shouted back, as Randy smirked back at me and laughed,

"THATS WHY I FRIGGIN' LOVE YOU! YOUR SO DEVIOUS!" Randy shouted to me, before setting Cena up for the RKO and running at the chair – jumping it, but pulling Cena's head down, making Cena's head come in contact with the chair. Randy quickly pinned and got the three count, while John lay lifeless in the middle of the ring – with a bent, wrecked chair standing next to him. I quickly ran at Randy and jumped to hug him, as he held onto me with one hand while throwing the other in the air. I kissed him, before turning back to the camera and smirking.

"THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE!" Randy shouted, as I raised his arm in the air, and hugged him,

"THAT'S HOW A CHAMPION WINS!" I shouted as the fans booed us, we climbed outta the ring and made our way up the ramp smirking at the lifeless John in the middle of the ring and Ashley trying to get up, as a shooting pain shot through my rib – I held it and breathed heavily as Randy looked at me worriedly but while still in character.

"Syd are you ok?" Randy asked, as we reached backstage,

"Yeah, yeah" I replied, holding my ribs and wincing as I stretched, "I've just pulled summin, I'll be fine!" I snapped, "Just leave it!"

"Wow! What's gotten into you?" Randy asked, in an un-impressed tone, "I was only checking if you were okay!"

"And that's the thing! I don't need sympathy!" I replied, giving him a pissed off look, "My ribs are hurting me, I'm tired and I can't be arsed anymore! I just need a hot bath and a long sleep!"

"I know babe" Randy replied, hugging me, "Just think, after tomorrow we get lie ins!"

FFW TO NEXT MORNING

I was half awoken by sound of Randy shouting,

"FUCK! STUPID FUCKING BED WITH ITS STUPID FUCKING LEGS!" he shouted, before a door slammed and the sound of the shower running began, I turned over and pulled the cover to my chin, before drifting back off to sleep...

Randy's P.O.V

I stepped outta the shower after a 15 minute soak, wrapped a towel round my lower half and exited into the bedroom to find Syd how I'd left her 20 minutes ago. I quickly dried and changed into a clean pair of boxers before lying down next to her and kissing her forehead lightly, making her turn over as her eyes fluttered open,

"Hey sleeping beauty"

"Hey" she croaked, "What time is it?"

"Urmm..." I began, "20 to 10, so we've had an extra 10 minutes... WOOO" I finished un-enthusiastically, "Now c'mon our flights in an hour and a half",

"Okayy" Syd replied, climbing out of bed and dragging herself towards the en-suit...

FFW TO AFTER PLANE RIDE

I stood and stared at the little boy running around in front of me in the carousel area, while his mother shouted to him,

"Jason!" she began, "Jason!" she said again, as the little boy looked up at me - I smiled, "Jason, stop pestering the man" she continued, walking towards her son and taking his arm, before looking up at me, "Sorry... Kids, they can be a handful at times"

"It's ok" I replied, "He's a handsome little boy isn't he?"

"Thank you..." the woman said, "Don't ever have kids" she finished mockingly before walking away. I smiled and waved as the little boy looked back. Sydney's voice pulled me back into our world,

"You want a little boy, don't you?" she said, smiling,

"Yeah..." I replied, hugging her, "I love the thought of playing football and teaching him to wrestle!" I continued, "Like my dad did with me"

"Hmmm" Syd said, looking up at me, "I want a little girl" she continued, "So I could dress her up... well I say dress up when she's a baby, then when she hits three... I wanna teach her how to skate and motor-cross" she finished, with a smile, "Then I'd want her to follow her mum, dad and grandad and get a job wrestling in the WWE"

"Maybe we could have that" I replied, smiling back at her – before kissing her...

TO HOTEL

"Hello, I'm Isabella... how may I help you?" the concierge said as we reached the check-in desk at the hotel,

"Hi, we have a room booked" Syd replied, smiling at her while leaning on the desk with her elbows,

"Okayy..." Isabella said, while clicking the mouse and looking at the computer screen, "And what name is it?"

"Urhh either under WWE, McMahon or Orton" I replied, as she began to type,

"There's nothing under WWE..." she began, as she madly clicked and typed some more, "Urhh, nothing under McMahon..." she continued, still clicking, "Ah! Randy Orton?"

"Yep" I replied,

"2 nights?" she asked,

"Yeah" I said,

"Room 390... Here's your keys, if you need anything don't be afraid to call down or come see us..." she continued, "Have a nice stay"

"Thanks" Syd said, taking the keys from Isabella and grabbing her bags, before following me to the elevator,

FFW AN HOUR

Sydney was lying across the bed on her Apple MacBook while I was watching the TV as my phone rang, I picked it up and answered as Sydney looked over at me,

"Hello"

"Hey Randy, Its Stephanie" Stephanie replied, as Sydney was mouthing 'who is it?' at me,

"Oh Hey Stephanie" I said, as Sydney 'oh'-ed,

"I was just phoning to see if you were in Connecticut?"

"Yeah, we're at the hotel now"

"Ah, well me and Paul are going out later if you and Syd wanna tag along"

"Urmm... hang on..." I replied, looking over to Syd, "You wanna go out with Steph and Paul tonight?"

"Urhh, yeah ok" Syd replied smiling, "Oh and ask her how the kids are"

"Yeah we're out and Syd's wondering how the kids are" I replied, returning to my conversation with Steph and putting her on loud speaker,

"There doing great! They've been missing us, I know that" Stephanie laughed, "Anyway, we'll call round the hotel later... Urhh, about tomorrow... You're photo shoots at 10, then you got an interview afterwards..."

"Ok" Me and Syd replied,

"And Sydney, you've got a photo shoot separately tomorrow afternoon... you'll have time to go get dinner, but you'll be there most of the day"

"Alright... sound" Syd replied smiling, "Randy can just come back here and pack for us"

"Yeah" Stephanie replied, laughing, "If he's anything like a normal man, he won't be able to pack, coz he can't fold"

"So true!" Syd said, laughing with her,

"HEY!" I said, giving Syd evils, "I can pack... just not greatly" I finished, laughing with them,

"That's what I thought... anyway, meet you later... we'll call around about half 8 ish... if that's ok with you two"

"Yeah, that's fine... See you then" Syd replied,

"Later guys"

"Later" we both said, before ending the phone call,

"Well, I think we should go get some din dins... don't you?" Syd asked, shutting down her Apple laptop,

"Yes... Great idea!" I replied, enthusiastically, "Now where do you propose we eat Miss. Jones?"

"Urhh... I have no clue" Syd said, putting her finger to her chin and making a thinking face,

Sydney's P.O.V

"How about the little cafe down the road?" Randy asked, as I continued to look to the roof,

"No... how about that one by the shopping centre?" I replied, giving him a shopping look, while grabbing my bag and walking out of the door,

"I shudda guessed that this was going somewhere" Randy replied, laughing, while closing the door behind him, "Ok, ok... we'll go there then"

"Yay! Then shopping? Coz I need a new pair of skinnies" I said, with a cheesy grin plastered on my face,

"Oh fine... I hope you're buying" Randy said, grabbing my hand and leading us towards the elevator,

"No... you are" I replied, "And I'll buy my skinnies!"

"I can live with that" Randy said, laughing as the elevator sent us down,

FFW TO SHOPPNG CENTRE

"How about this one Randy?" I asked, reviewing the bag on my shoulder in the mirror, "Randy!"

"What, huh? Sorry" Randy replied, "What you say?"

"Randy!" I said, sighing and turning to him,

"What?" he replied, laughing, "I don't like shopping... I only go when I need to... not for fun"

"Oh seriously! This is where Ashley and John come in handy!" I said, sighing again and placing the bag back on the rack,

"Oh babe" Randy said, beginning to giggle again, "You're so cute when you're upset or angry"

"Shut up!" I giggled, whacking his chest, "OOH OOH OOH!"

"What?" Randy asked, in a concerned tone,

"THERE! THERE THEY ARE!" I squealed,

"Where's what?" Randy asked in confusion,

Randy's P.O.V

I'd been trailing round behind Sydney, carrying her shopping bags for two hours straight now – with no break, no food and no drink... how the hell do girls do this? At the moment we were stood in River Island, I was leaning against the nearest wall in the shop, while Sydney tried things on and checked what she looked like in the mirror,

"How about this one Randy?" Sydney asked, "Randy!" she said again, bringing me back into this world fully,

"What, huh? Sorry" I replied, "What you say?"

"Randy!" Sydney sighed - turning to me,

"What?" I replied, laughing, "I don't like shopping... I only go when I need to... not for fun"

"Oh seriously! This is where Ashley and John come in handy!" she said, sighing again and placing the bag she had just had on her shoulder back on the rack, while I smiled at the look on her face,

"Oh babe" I said, beginning to giggle again, "You're so cute when you're upset or angry"

"Shut up!" Syd said, beginning to giggle with me while whacking my chest, "OOH OOH OOH!"

"What?" I asked, concerned,

"THERE! THERE THEY ARE!" she squealed in excitement,

"Where's what?" I asked again in confusion,

"THE SKINNIES I WANTED!" she squealed again, running over to them and looking for her size, I stood in the exact spot she'd left me in and shook my head while laughing, I should of guessed it was clothes related. I looked over to her and began to walk towards her as she turned towards me smiling. "I'm just gunna try these on" Syd said, waving these black jeans in my face,

"Ok, ok... I'll be here waiting" I replied, smiling at how happy she was here,

"No! You need to come sit in here... so I can see what you think" she replied, "Wait one sec" she said, walking over to the dress section...

FFW 10 MINUTES

I was sat in the changing rooms waiting for Sydney to come out in the jeans she'd picked out, her curtain slided open and the black skinnies fit her perfectly.

"What you think?" she asked, as she looked at herself in the mirror,

"Nice" I replied, liking the look of them, "And perfect for doing this" I continued, standing up and walking behind her, placing my hands in the front pockets before leaning my head on her shoulder, "Perfect" I winked, as she giggled – making me smile. Her giggle was the cutest thing, she sounded like a little school girl lost for words, and hearing it always made me smile,

"So should I buy them?" she asked, pulling my arms from the pockets and grasping them while turning to face me,

"Yeah... they suit you" I finished, kissing her softly as a couple of giggles came from behind us, I turned while Sydney peeked over my shoulder, there were three girls stood there watching us and 'aww'-ing – as soon as they saw us looking they exited the changing room swiftly, I turned back to face Sydney and let out a small laugh as did she.

"Ok... and now for the one I think you'll like the most" she said, skipping back into the changing room, I shook my head and giggled at the look of her. To the untrained eye, Sydney looked like the hard-knock, 'don't give one' type of teenager that you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side off, whereas, in reality she was like a little school girl – from the way she giggled, to the way she acted and to the way she'd skip away when she was happy. She did actually care what people thought – even if she didn't show it. She cared more than you'd think... and there the reasons I love her like I do – because she's not you're normal 18 year old, she's unique!

FFW 5 MINUTES

I sat with my head down and eyes closed, day dreaming again,

"So what do you think?" I heard Syd ask. I opened my eyes and lifted my head to find Syd stood in front of the mirror wearing a blue halter neck dress. It looked amazing on her. It showed of all her curves and fitted her silhouette perfectly.

"Amazing!" I said, as she smiled at me in the mirror,

"You really like it?" she asked, reviewing herself in the mirror,

"Yeah" I replied, grabbing her hand and twirling her, "You look better than half of the Diva's in the locker room"

"You have to say that" Syd said, looking up at me,

"Why?" I asked, looking at her daftly,

"Because you're my boyfriend... so you have to tell me I look good in everything" Syd replied,

"I don't have to say anything..." I began, "I say 'cause I mean it" I finished, smiling at her as she smiled back,

"Ok" she replied, hugging me before stepping back, "You know you're the best right?"

"Yeah, I know" I winked, "Now go get changed, buy them things and let's get outta here... I'm friggin' hungry"

"Ok, ok" Syd said, mumbling as she walked back into the changing room – making me laugh,
