Sydney's P.O.V
Me and Randy were cuddled up on the sofa watching TV after a far from normal night. The tension while eating tea was unbearable with Bob and Randy not speaking – making me feel extremely akward. We were watching a film as Nathan walked through the door,
"Aight?" Randy said, as Nathan smiled at me,
"Hey" he sighed, sitting on the matching chair,
"Still got girl troubles?" I asked, smiling at him, "I can tell"
"Man, you picked a mind reader dude!" Nathan said, winking and laughing, "Yeah"
"Does Zoey still not believe you?" Randy asked,
"Oh no... she believed me, after hours of begging" Nathan sighed, "But now she's fucking with me... telling me one thing and doing another... Syd, you're a girl"
"Well, thanks for noticing" I replied, giggling – making Randy and Nathan giggle as well,
"Well... what should I do?" Nathan asked, I sighed,
"Don't ask me dude... I got trust issues" I laughed, "Randy's the first one I've been with longer than a month" Nathan sighed, "I'd help if I could... But I dunno what to tell you, sorry bud"
"Ehh, it's ok" Nathan replied, "Randy?"
"Set her straight and tell her up front... You gotta lay the law down" Randy said, I sat up and looked at him,
"You better not think about doing that with me, you big oaf!" I said, poking him,
"I know better than to do that to you! I know where I'm standing in this relationship" he giggled, kissing my forehead,
"Good" I smiled, holding his hand and playing with his fingers,
"Just tell her you don't know where you stand in the relationship... you need to talk it out" Randy finished, "That should help... It'll either help your relationship or end it... and if it ends it..."
"It's coz she's not the one" Nathan said, smiling,
"I'm glad to see you listened last time we were here" Randy laughed, "Anyway, we're going up to bed"
"What?" Nathan said, shocked, "It's not even that late!"
"Yeah, well, we're leaving early" Randy said, sighing,
"Dad?" Nathan asked,
"Yep... blaming Syd for the fact that he wouldn't tell me about Nana Orton" he continued, "he's never happy unless he's hurting someone! It fucks me off!"
"So that's the fight I heard earlier" Nath replied, sighing, "Be thankful you don't live here anymore!"
"Yeah, that was me shouting at him" Randy said, laughing, "So I don't wanna be in the same house as him, so we're leaving for mine tomorrow" he continued, "You know, you are old enough to move out now"
"Oh yeah I know that" Nath replied, smiling, "It's just the fact that I'd have to pay for the house, where as its free here" he finished, giggling,
"Dodgy bastard" I said, laughing, "You got a good mind!"
"Anyway, I'm going up..." Randy said, rubbing his head and yawning, "Syd, you coming with or staying down here?"
"I'm coming with... I'm shattered" I replied, "See ya tomorrow Nathan" I said, as I rose from the sofa – smiling at Nathan, who was changing the channel,
"Speak to you tomorrow bro" Randy said, beginning to leave the room,
"Later dude and dudette" Nathan said, as we exited the room and closed the door. We made our way upstairs before getting changed and hitting the hay...
FFW 1 YEAR
Randy's P.O.V
A lot has happened over the past year. Me and Syd are still going strong and have survived my father's selfish antics – I don't know why he can't just be happy for us like mum and Dave.
Dad finally admitted that he didn't tell us because he felt like we didn't need to know Nana Orton was dying – stupid thing to do and say! He caused a fight, blaming Syd for no reason! And she forgave him. Something I would never have done! Nana Orton's funeral passed and went as you would expect a funeral to go.
I looked over at my phone buzzing on the side table,
"Hey"
"Hey hun" Syd replied, "What times your flight?"
"Urhh..." I replied, looking at my watch, "3:00pm ... Why? You missing me?"
"No!"
"Yeah!" I said, laughing, "I've only been gone a week"
"Yeah... and that's a week that I've been stuck with my dad!" she replied, laughing, "and my beds been cold" – I could imagine her winking at me on that line, I laughed again,
"Same... and the hotel beds haven't been very comfy!" I said, sighing – I'd been stuck in Washington doing another photo-shoot and some signings for the past week, and with Syd now a singles competitor, she had separate signings in Florida – so we'd been split. That was the one disadvantage of her no longer being my valet – well, I mean not being it full on like when she first started. She still accompanies me to the ring, but only if she doesn't have a match. "I miss you too babe" I finished, "At least I'm not away for your 19th birthday!"
"I guess that's plus" she said, sighing, "Gotta go... Dave's calling me. If it's for another game of scrabble I swear!" I couldn't help but laugh, "It's not funny! All it's been for the past week is 'let's have a game of scrabble'" I continued to laugh,
"Scrabble's a good game!" I said, "Your dad has good taste!" I continued, "Anyway, I'm gunna go... gotta finish my packing and leave for the airport in the next hour"
"Ok... love you"
"Love you too, later" I finished, ending the call and re-starting to pack...
FFW TO NEXT DAY
I had just finished planning Syd's Surprise 19th Birthday party for tomorrow as she walked through the door with Ashley and John.
"Hey" she said, plonking down next to me, "What you been up to?"
"Sleeping... you get anything nice?" I asked, looking at the many bags on the floor,
"Yeah... a couple of things actually" she said, "This is what happens when you leave me with your credit card Randal"
"Anything for my baby on her 19th birthday" I replied, in a baby voice pulling at her cheeks- making her pull a face and push my hands of off her,
"So what we got planned tomorrow?" she asked. I looked over to John and Ashley, who were sat with the worst lying faces ever! I gave them a look as if I was shouting at them to act normal,
"Me and you are going to the beach to catch a tan" Ashley said, making the save,
"Ah right cool, cool" Syd replied, smiling,
"Anyway, we're off... we're having an early night" Ashley said, as her and Cena made a move,
"Alright" I replied, standing up and leading them to the door, shutting it as we walked outside.
"So what's happening tomorrow?" John asked,
"Everyone's coming here at around 5 o'clock-ish, so Ashley, I need you to bring her back home around 6" I replied, watching as Ashley thought of a plan,
"Got it! I'll take her out for a bite to eat" she said, smiling deviously, "Nothing big, but long enough to keep us occupied"
"Good idea!" John said, knuckle touching her,
"Ok... I'll see you both tomorrow, later" I said, walking back into the house,
"Later" they said in unison, walking down the drive...
FFW TO PARTY
Dave's house was full and the conversations were flowing naturally. Lots of WWE Superstars and Divas were packed into the house and back garden and I had the perfect birthday present for her. She didn't have a clue. My phone beeped in my pocket and I checked the message – it was off Ashley,
We're turning the corner by the house now. Ash x
"HEY EVERYONE!" I shouted, getting everyone's attention, "THERE TURNING THE CORNER DOWN THE ROAD NOW..." I continued, "SO SYD WILL BE HERE IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES!" I finished, as the car door slammed shut, "OK MAKE THAT NOW!"
Everyone was silent as the front door opened and the sound of Ashley shouting back to Sydney echoed through the house. The living room door opened and Syd walked in, being met with loud cheers and people shouting,
"SURPRISE SYDNEY!" everyone shouted,
"Oh my god!" she said, shocked, "Thanks everyone" she said, hugging Ashley. I pushed my way through to her, "did you do this?" she asked, talking to Ashley,
"No..." Ash replied, "he did" she finished, pointing at me,
"Randy?" Syd said, tackling me with a hug, "Thank-you babe!"
"And this aint it" I said, grabbing her hand and leading her to the back garden,
"Where are we going?" she asked, giggling,
"Just wait and see" I replied, reaching the back door, "Now close your eyes... and don't peak!"
"Ok, ok" Syd replied, closing her eyes. I lead her outside, "Now stand there and don't look" I continued...
Sydney's P.O.V
I was stood with my eyes closed outside. The sound of someone feet tapping on the wooden decking – approaching me echoed,
"Hey Syd" a familiar voice said, I smiled and opened one eye,
"JASON!" I screamed, jumping on him, "It's been months!"
"A year... to be precise" he said, winking, "How you been?" he asked, hugging me tightly,
"I've been great!" I said, still not believing it was him, "I can't believe your here!"
"Well here I am... in the flesh!" Jason replied, smiling at me. Words could not describe how much I missed him! He was my best friend! I couldn't wait to catch up with him...
FFW TO LATER THAT EVENING
Me and Jason had been sat talking for hours, catching up and he'd been telling me what had happened over the past year. Both Carla and Cheyenne had been adopted by loving couples and that made me tear up for them. They were finally happy! And that made me happy for them, seeing them suffer their whole lives was never a nice thing to see, and knowing this brought me comfort.
Jason had talked with a couple of the Superstars and Divas and he was really getting on with them. Within the couple of hours we'd spent together, we'd already had a spitting contest, a skate around the front and a game of dares. I was having a blast.
"Hey Jas" I said, interrupting him and Mickie, "I'm just going to find Randy"
"Ah right ok..." he replied, "I'll just be around and about" he finished, smiling before returning to his conversation with Mickie.
Randy's P.O.V
I hadn't seen Sydney all night. I'd caught glances of her laughing and joking with Jason, but I hadn't sat and had a proper conversation with her. I was glad she was happy, and bringing Jason here was closure for her. She'd been so down over the past couple of weeks, saying how she'd missed him and she felt like a part of her was missing. It was nice to actually see her 100% happy.
I'd spent the whole night speaking with random Superstars and Divas – chatting shit like we always do. All was good. I was stood in the kitchen with Kaitlyn as Dolph exited the room,
"So Randy..." Kaitlyn said, in a seductive voice, "How about me and you have a bit of fun?"
"Urhhhh... Kaitlyn. You have a boyfriend and I have a girlfriend" I replied, "Let's not go there"
"What?" Kaitlyn said, twirling a piece of her hair around her finger – trying to act sexy like, "I was just thinking of a bit of harmless fun Randy bear"
"Urhh... don't call me that..." I said, giving her a freaked out look, "I aint your Randy bear... If I was a Randy bear, I'd be Syd's – but I aint, so don't call me that... it's just weird" I continued, "And anyway, a bit of harmless fun to you is a home wrecker to me"
"Well... I could show you how harmless it was... if you took me upstairs" she replied, winking and biting her lip. She was gunna end up like Maryse if she carried on – with a death wish. Syd wasn't one to forgive and forget, "C'mon, live a little Randy" she finished – poking my shoulder before pushing herself on me, I was trying to move, but she just pushed harder – resulting on me being stuck,
"Urhh... what do you think you're doing?" Syd said, my eyes widened. I looked over at her; you could see the anger in her eyes,
"Syd..." I said, "It's not what it looks like"
"I know what it is..." she said, clenching her fists – trying to calm herself. Over the past year, she'd begun to take her anger under control. She was still learning, but she was getting better every time. "This dirty skank here can't stand the fact that her bf aint the fittest one out there! So she has to get her hands on someone else!"
"Excuse me?" Kaitlyn said, looking daggers through Syd,
"You need to get your hearing checked love..." Syd replied, her English accent really showing, "I said that you were a skank! Keeps your dirty hands of my man!"
"What makes you think he's your man?" Kaitlyn said, sarcastically, "What makes you think he wants you?"
"What makes YOU think he wants YOU?" Syd spat back, "If he didn't want me, he wouldn't be with me! Oh and look... he's still with me!" Syd continued, "I swear! If you don't back off, you're gunna regret it!" Syd finished, getting closer to Kaitlyn with every word – poking her shoulder,
"Syd... calm" I said, rubbing her back as Kaitlyn backed off,
"Yeah, yeah you better back off bitch... or next time you'll get an ass whooping of a lifetime!" Syd said, smirking, "Cunt"
"Sorry babe" I said, as Kaitlyn returned to by Dolph's side outside on the decking,
"I know" she sighed,
"I did warn her... she didn't listen" I replied, laughing, "You are threatening... you know that"
"Yeah, I know that" she replied, smiling and kissing me forcefully. I held her tightly as she hugged me, "This has been the best birthday ever!"
"I can think of a way to make it even better" I whispered, making her giggle, "What you think?"
"Hmmm... and what might that be Mr. Orton?" she asked, giggling,
"Well, I have another present upstairs..." I replied, kissing her neck,
"Well, I think you should take me to open it" she said, pulling out of the hug and winking at me. I grabbed her hand and led her upstairs – knowing we wouldn't be down for the rest of the night...
