A few weeks later, Mary had pushed away the thoughts of her one night stand and wanted to reunite with Ted. She had received clearance, seeing as how she was a legacy as well as currently on the developmental roster, and made her way around the backstage area. She eventually came across a door labeled "Randy Orton" and hoped that she would be able to find Ted in there, knowing about the new storyline they had began the week prior. She knocked, taking a deep breath.

Cody Rhodes opened the door with a grin, "I didn't realize we ordered a girl for a pre-show warm up."

Mary giggled, shaking her head. "Cute Cody, I'll be sure to let my dad know that was your first impression of me. I'm looking for Ted."

Cody blinked, his face going pale, "wait... who's your dad?"

"Jeff Williams," she smirked, knowing that her father was still with the company, but only making sporadic appearances, so Cody would know who he was.

Cody swallowed visibly, immediately remembering who she was, "I'm sorry, Mary." He turned his head, "hey Ted, the love of your life is here."

Ted walked up, raising an eyebrow. "Like I'm really going to believe that she's going to walk up to Randy's locker room to see me after all of these years."

Cody shrugged, opening the door more to reveal Mary on the other side. "And yet, here she is."

"You're the one who dumped me, Teddy Bear," Mary sighed.

Ted looked her up and down, seeing that she had only gotten more beautiful over the years. "And a day hasn't gone by that I don't regret it."

"I guess that means that I've stayed away long enough then," she smiled, stepping inside to hug him. He returned the hug as Cody closed the door once more with a smile. They locked eyes for a few moments as she bit her lip. "I've really missed you, Ted."

"I've missed you too, Mary," he tightened his grip on her waist. "I still love you," he whispered.

She smiled, leaning in, "I still love you, too." Their lips met for the first time in years, all of their feelings for each other flooding back at once. The kiss immediately deepened, his tongue begging for entrance into her mouth. Which she quickly complied to, letting their tongues explore each others mouths.

Cody began to walk away awkwardly as his best friend made out with his long lost girlfriend only to be stopped by a very shocked looking Randy. "Wait... is that the girl he's always talking about?" he motioned to the couple who were still kissing merely feet away from them.

Cody nodded, "yeah, that's Jeff Williams's daughter, Mary."

After breaking away from the kiss, blushing, Mary looked over to Cody and Randy, as Ted kissed her forehead. Looking at Randy, the memories of her drunken night a few weeks before began to flood her mind. Her eyes widened as her blood ran cold as she realized that the man she had lost her virginity to was standing there before her. The man she had prayed she would never see again was now going to be a part of her life. Not wanting to let on if he wasn't going to, she turned to Ted once more, kissing him once more, softly this time. "Does this mean we're going to give us another chance?"

Ted nodded with a smile, "yes, it definitely does. You have great timing, too. I am about to head to Thailand to film a movie."

"I recently joined FCW, but I'm sure I could get a little time off. I wouldn't mind heading back that way," she hugged him again with a grin.

"Is that where you've been?" Ted frowned.

She nodded, "I went to Oz. It was amazing."

Cody blinked, interrupting them "isn't that the hardcore womens league in Japan?"

Mary grinned, "hey, I was already going up against guys when I was in OVW." She took a deep breath as she watched Randy leave the room, not saying anything.

"Which is why I broke up with you," Ted sighed.

"You should have known that you could trust me. What happens in the ring is so much different than what goes on outside of it. Since I was going up against them, they treated me like one of the guys. None of them hit on me, and I only have eyes for you. Always have, always will," Mary smiled. It was a small, white lie, but she figured he would never have to know the truth.

Ted nodded, "I did trust you. It was just... I was afraid. By that time, I was thinking of becoming a minister. Things were already hard enough whenever we were together."

"Wait..." Mary giggled. "So it wasn't about you not trusting me with men in the ring?"

"No, it was about sex," Ted mumbled, looking down.

Cody laughed, patting his friend's shoulder. "That's my cue. It was nice meeting you, Mary. We've only got a few minutes, man," he reminded Ted.

Mary nodded at Cody with a smile. "I'll see you around." Once Cody left the room, she sighed, pulling Ted flush to her body, forcing him to pop his head up, looking into her eyes. "So watching me wrestle turned you on?"

Ted nodded, biting his lip. "I know, babe. I should have just been honest with you. I'm so sorry."

She kissed him softly before reluctantly pulling away. "So I'm thinking that the last thing we want right now is to send you to the ring with a hard on. It can be a tad obvious in those little trunks."

He blushed, "yeah, it can."

"Deep breaths, Teddy Bear," she smiled once more before they walked out together. Mary kissed him once more as they reached the gorilla position. "Just remember, I love you." She smiled as she nudged him through the curtain with Cody. She took a deep breath as she thought for a moment. Stay and wait for Ted to come back, or wander around and see if she ran into anyone else that she knew? She chose the latter option as she quickly grew bored listening to what was going on in the ring. She smiled as she walked back down the hall, a small bounce in her step. She greeted everyone along the way, stopping to talk to a few people, but nothing too in depth until she ran into a face she hadn't seen in years. She blinked, the smile on her face growing. "But you're supposed to be out with an injury right now."

John shook his head with a grin, "I'm back, just not competing yet."

"Well, it is always best to take it easy after a surgery," she nodded.

After a few moments of silence, John laughed, holding his arms out to here. "Get over here, girl."

Mary giggled, jumping into John's arms, hugging him tightly. "It's so good to see you, Cena."

John chuckled, kissing the side of her head before letting her down. "Been a while, Williams. I was beginning to think that you were going to stay in Japan."

She took a deep breath, nodding. "To be honest, I thought about it."

"Well, you can't be here to see me, and I don't think that your old man is here tonight," he smirked.

Mary licked her lips, grinning. "There is someone here I missed a little more than you."

"Judging by the fact that your smile could light an Alaskan winter, I have a feeling I know who that is. Does this mean you have news for me?" John asked with a smile, truly happy for his friend.

Mary nodded, "we already talked. The years apart sort of exploded in Randy's locker room a bit ago. Thankfully, we have years of practice in self control, or he may have missed his cue."

"And that's why you'd survive in a horror movie," John smirked. "You have a lot of focus."

"I also have a degree in technical engineering now," she laughed, shaking her head.

"Oh wow, that's so cool," he smiled, hugging her again. "But I should have guessed that seeing as how you had finished high school a year early."

She nodded, "truthfully, I was hoping that I could convince Ted to come to OVW with me with that one, but I didn't succeed."

"And yet, he still ended up taking this route. At the risk of sounding cheesy, I'd have to say that this just sort of proves that you two are meant to be," John grinned he saw Ted and Cody walking up behind Mary. "I always knew he loved you. I could see it in his eyes. I think that it's only stronger now," John smirked.

Mary blinked, "how could you-" her question was cut off when a pair of arms snaked their way around her waist from behind. "Oh... hi baby. Are you done for the night?"

"Yes, and I am currently rocking a storyline concussion so I can go film the sequel to your buddy's movie," Ted spun her around to kiss her lips.

Mary blinked, pouting, "concussion?"

Cody nodded with a chuckle, "Randy kicked him in the head."

"But you're okay for real, right baby?" she brought a hand to his cheek.

"Mare Bear, I'm fine. I promise. Randy knows what he's doing," Ted turned his head to kiss her palm.

She nodded, swallowing hard. "How about you go shower and change so we can work on our next sleepover?"

John smirked as Ted, along with Cody, headed back to the locker room. "Sleepover? Is that what you two call it?"

Mary's cheeks turned bright red, "it's not what you think, John. Ted and I are the quintessential 'true love waits' couple. And well... he's still waiting," she stated that last bit in a soft tone as she walked past her friend, not wishing to continue that conversation. She kept walking through the halls as she waited for Ted, only to run into someone she had wished to avoid. Randy walked up to her, alone. Normally Randy Orton wouldn't give a damn who he fucked. He had come to work many times with either a black eye or busted lip from the husband or boyfriend of a girl he had hooked up with. This was different, though. He had made a promise to himself to stay away from girls who belonged to his colleagues. In his eyes, it was no different than trying to steal his brother's girl. Even the Viper had to have some boundaries. Seeing as how he would be now working closely with Ted, Mary knew that they would need to talk about this, but she was still hoping that somehow they would find a way around it. She bit her lip, looking around to see that they were truly alone. "Randy, I..."

He sighed, nodding. "I know, Mary. I have been with a number of random girls, and I regret every one of them, but I actually would prefer that right now."

She bit her lip, looking down. It did help to know that she wasn't the only one regretting their night together. "I love Ted. Always have. What happened between us was a mistake."

He paused, taking a deep breath, "and he loves you. I feel like shit for taking something that should have been his."

"It's not like we can take it back, Randy," she paused, running her fingers through her hair. "But maybe..."

He nodded, "we can pretend it never happened. But before we start pretending... it was good, right?" he flashed her a cocky grin.

She took a deep breath, her cheeks burning. "It was amazing, Randy. You did everything right."

Randy leaned over, kissing her cheek. "I can't promise to take it easy on your man in the coming year with this storyline," he whispered into her ear.

Mary nodded with a sigh, "I understand, Randy. Just... try to be careful the ad-libs? I'll be watching."

"I honestly wouldn't expect anything less from you, Mary. I hope that we can be friends. I've heard that you seriously kick ass in the ring," Randy grinned as he placed a hand on the small of her back, leading her back to his locker room, where he knew that Ted would be waiting for her.

"I could probably take you on," she grinned playfully, letting him lead her along. She somewhat enjoyed his touch, but she wasn't even going to let herself think about it. What was good sex without love? She knew that many people preferred the sex, but Mary wasn't that type of person. She may have had a moment of transgression, but she knew where her heart belonged.

"Mary Williams," Randy chuckled, shaking his head, "your dad couldn't even beat me. If you were to at least give me a decent match, the world would be forced to take another look at womens wrestling."

"I so should have been there for that match," she sighed, frowning as they reached his door.

"You couldn't get home from Japan?" Randy asked as he opened the door, calling out, "is Cody decent? I don't think Ted would like it much if his girl saw his best friend's ass."

Mary took a deep breath, rolling her eyes at the prospect of Ted getting upset if she happened to catch a glimpse of Cody in the buff. Which she would never admit to, but she would definitely like. "More like I didn't want to try. For the first few years I was away, I didn't want to face the possibility of seeing Ted after he shattered my heart the way that he did."

"Mary can come in," Cody laughed, "it's safe."

Mary walked into the locker room with Randy, giggling. "What? I don't get to compare my boys?"

"Maybe someday," Randy chuckled, shaking his head. "I like her, Ted," Randy called toward the shower where the other member of the group was getting dressed, "can we keep her?"

Ted walked out to where his friends were talking to his girlfriend in just a pair of jeans, toweling off his wet hair. "Are you trying to corrupt my perfect girlfriend?"

Mary looked Ted up and down, exhaling sharply. "I really don't think we need any help there, baby." She smiled as she sauntered over to her boyfriend, placing a hand on his chest, loving the feeling of his firm pectoral muscle.

Ted couldn't help but smirk, a bit of an ego showing at his girlfriend's reaction to his body. "You like?" He threw an arm around her waist.

She nodded as she closed the gap between them, not giving him a chance to close his mouth before gliding her tongue inside as their lips met. They went on until a moan escaped his lips, which she took as a cue to pull away. "And that's six years of built up passion right there, my friends," she laughed.

"You stayed away too long," Ted pouted, kissing her nose.

"Just remember who broke up with who here. You broke up with me without trying to talk things out and wouldn't answer my calls," Mary sighed.

"I know. I was stupid, baby. I'm sorry. I guess that I just knew that if we talked about it, we would work it out. I guess that I just wasn't ready for that," Ted shrugged.

She nodded, obviously hurt by his words, but not wanting to leave him, "what matters now is that we're back together, and I plan on keeping you this time, Theodore. You. Are. Mine."

Ted took a deep breath, kissing her softly. "I love you, Maryanne." He looked up at his friends, sticking his tongue out at them for their mocking looks. "Now let's get to the hotel, so we can cuddle."

Mary nodded, hugging him tightly, ignoring the other men in the room as she let her boyfriend go to finish getting ready to go and left with him.
