AN: Sorry this chapter is short...still wondering how to pull all my ideas together.
Kate had been lying low for the next few weeks, completing her plan in her head. She had her pan all worked out, now all she needed was the time to do it. That time was soon to come.
"How long are you going to be gone?" Randy asked.
"Only a week. I leave after RAW tonight and I'll be back next Monday before RAW starts."
"I hate is when you're gone." Randy said. "The bed always feels so empty."
"Randy, I only sleep with you when we're home. What do you do on the road? Share a bed with John?" Ali asked, giving him a questioning look.
"No, I just hug a pillow and think that it's you." He said smiling.
"Well, looks like you'll be hugging a pillow for the next week. Somehow, I think you'll be ok. I hope Kate doesn't try anything while I'm gone. I could get suspended if I injure her again."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. You have a good week at your seminar, and don't you worry about me."
"It's not you I worry about."
"Trish, take care of Randy for me. Lord knows he can't tape his own wrists." Ali said as she loaded her car outside the arena.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure his wrists are securely wrapped."
"I'm not that helpless." Randy said loading her last suitcase into the trunk and closing it. "I'm just not a coordinated when it comes to taping as you are."
"Randy, your wrists look like a 2 year old wrapped them." John said laughing. "Don't worry Ali, we'll take care of him." John gave her a hug.
"Thanks you guys, I'll see you next week." Ali said. She watched as the two walked back into the arena. She turned to Randy.
"See you in a week?" She asked.
"Yeah. That seems like such a long time."
"The time will pass quickly. You have 2 house shows and a signing. It'll be Monday before you know it."
"I guess so. Drive safely and call me when you get there." Randy said giving her a kiss.
"I will. Have a good week." Ali said and got into her car. She waved as she drove out of the parking lot.
Once again, a pair of dark green eyes watched as Randy turned around and walked back into the arena to pack his things and leave. Kate smiled, knowing this week was the time to put her plan in action and finally break up the two lovebirds.
Kate looked at herself in the mirror, deciding she looked good enough for the night. She smiled as she walked into the bar and saw Randy sitting in a corner, talking on his phone. Kate waited until he hung up before she made her way over and sat next to him.
"Hey Randy." She said sweetly.
"What do you want Kate?" Randy asked, looking over at her.
"Nothing. Just wanted to say hi."
"Well, you did." Randy said, trying to brush her off. He knew she was nothing but trouble, and wanted nothing to do with her.
"Randy, I think we got off on the wrong foot. I'm sorry I pressed myself on you. It was wrong on my part and I could have broken up your relationship with Ali. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it, just don't let it happen again." Randy said.
"How about I make it up to you. I'll be right back." She said as she got up and walked over to the bartender. She came back a few minutes later with two drinks in her hand. "Here, it is the least I can do to make it up to you."
"I don't know." Randy said.
"Please. Just one drink from me. I really am sorry." She said handing him the drink, Randy looked at it for a few minutes before finally drinking it. Kate waited a few minutes before saying anything else.
"So when does Ali get back?" She asked.
"Monday." Randy said. "Damn, I think I'm going to head back to my room, I don't feel so good." Randy got up and wavered to the door. Kate followed him.
"Here, I'll help you to your room." She offered.
"No, I'll be fine." Randy said getting in the elevator.
"Well, at least let me go with you to make sure you at least get there." Kate said following him. Randy leaned against the wall of the elevator as he pushed the button to his floor.
Kate walked with Randy to his room. Randy opened the door with his key card and went in.
"Thanks." He muttered as he walked inside.
"Are you sure you're ok Randy?" Kate asked, stopping the door from closing.
"Yeah, I…just need to…lay down." Randy said as he collapsed on his bed. Kate smiled as she waited a few minutes before walking into his room, closing the door behind her.
