"Ali just listen to what ever is in the box." Amy pleaded. Ali had refused to open the box once Amy told her that she thought it may have had something to do with Randy. Randy was the one thing that she did not want to think about while she was on her suspension. A part of her still hated Randy for what he had done but another part of her wanted to forgive him and give him a second chance. It was a never ending feud that she had going on with herself.

"No." Ali said and hugged her friend. Trish and Amy were finished with their suspension and had to catch a plane to Canada that night. Amy had been pleading with Ali all week to open that damn box, but Ali stood her ground.

Trish stood back and watched the two argue. Trish had taken no side because she could see a point to each side. Ali didn't want to listen to what was in the box because it probably had something to do with Randy, who she still wasn't talking to. Amy wanted her to listen to the whatever was in the box because it may have helped out the current situation.

Randy had called many times everyday, but Ali had ignored every call. She had lucked out because he was booked solid for the next two weeks and was not able to get home. Ali still had a week of her suspension, so she did not have to worry about seeing or dealing with any Randy drama for another week, which she was thankful for. All she had to worry about was what Vince had in stored for her when she got back.

"Vince please, I just need Wednesday off and then I will be back on Thursday for the house show. It is just one signing, there will be others there, please, I need to make things straight with Ali." Randy pleaded. He was on his knees in front of Vince's desk at RAW.

Vince looked at him with pity. He had learned all about what had transpired and couldn't help but feel pity for the young Orton. He remembered what it was like to be young and in love. He smiled.

"All right Orton. I'll let you have Wednesday off, but you better get things sorted out. I want Ali coming back here Thursday nothing but happy. She has a lot of work ahead of her and I want her in excellent condition in every way possible." Vince said. Randy's eyes lit up he jumped up, thanked Vince about a hundred times and left the office. Vince shook his head as he turned back to his paperwork and made plans for Ali when she returned Thursday.

Randy walked back into the locker room. "Vince gave me pity." He said with a smile.

"Great." Trish said. "Here's the key, but only use it if you have to. If you fuck this up, I swear I will kill you or at least haunt you in my afterlife, after Ali kills me."

"I need to get her to listen to the tape. Her stubbornness has taken over and I need to break it down, again. Has she answered anyone's calls?" Everyone shook their heads. "Well she is going to listen to that tape if I have to tie her down and make her listen to it."

"Now don't barge in there like a mad man." John said to his friend.

"I'm not going to, who do you think I am, Umaga?" Randy asked into his phone, he was in his car on his way to HIS house that he was suppose to be sharing with Ali.

"No. I think you're a man in love. And sometimes men in love do stupid things." John advised. "Just play it cool and don't use the key to get in unless you have to. You don't need her to crack you upside the head with a pan or anything."

"Man, I'm sure she could kick my ass without a weapon." Randy said. "I just pulled in so I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Randy hung up his phone, putting it in his pocket as he stepped out of his car. He walked up to the front door and took a deep breath as he knocked. He waited for a few moments before knocking again.

"Go away Randy." He heard a voice say quietly from the other side of the door.

"Come on baby, open the door. I had to get on my knees and beg Vince to give me the day off so I could come see you. Have you opened the box yet?"

"No, because it has something to do with you and I don't want to hear it. I don't care if you had to give lick his feet to get the day off." Ali replied. The tears were once again stinging her eyes. "Just go away."

"Not until you listen to what was in the box. Baby please, if you won't do it for me at least do it for yourself. I promise you will feel a lot better if you do."

"Remember what happened last time you made a promise to me?" Ali asked.

"Yeah, and I kept it to. I was fine after that elimination chamber match. I wouldn't lie to you." Randy said, straining his voice to not cry.

Ali sighed as she turned around and looked at the box that was still sitting on the mantle. Slowly walking over to the mantle, she took the box off and opened it seeing a small tape player in it. Randy looked through the window and saw that Ali had finally opened the box, he smiled softly as he saw her take the player out and push play. Ali listened to the tape, not sure if she was comprehending what was actually happening.

Randy walked back over to the door and took out the key that Trish had given him. He slowly unlocked the door and opened it just as the tape ran out.

Ali stared at the player in her hand, the tears she had been holding back finally falling from her eyes. She rewinded it a few times, replaying the last few lines that had been said between Jeff and Kate.

Randy walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her. She turned around and cried into his shoulder as he rubbed her back.

"Randy, I am so sorry." She cried.

"Baby it's ok." Randy said kissing the top of her head. "You didn't know the truth, none of us did untl Jeff did his own little investigation."

Ali nodded and suddenly broke away from Randy. "I'm going to kill her. I'm going to fucking kill her." She exclaimed as she ran upstairs.

Quirking an eyebrow at her, Randy followed. He looked into their bedroom and saw Ali throwing clothes into a suitcase. "Babe, what are you doing?"

"I'm packing, what does it look like I'm doing?" She said throwing more clothes into the suitcase. "As soon as I get to the arena tomorrow I am going to be fucking fired because I am going to kill that bitch. No one fucks with my heart and gets away with it." She continued babbling, Randy tried to talk her with no success.

Randy shook his head as he walked over to her. He grabbed her arms, bringing her to him before he stopped her babbling with a kiss.

Reacting to his lips being on hers, she wrapped her arms around his neck. She moaned as his tongue snaked into her mouth, missing that feeling that she had been without for almost 2 weeks. Pulling back, Randy looked at her.

"I have been waiting almost 2 weeks to do that." Randy said against her lips.

"Me too." Ali said. "I am so sorry for all of this, my stubbornness, my mistrust, my outbursts. How could I make it up to you?" Ali asked with a smirk.

"I could think of a few ways you could make it up to me." Randy said kissing her neck. Ali stopped him.

"Then can I kill her?" Ali asked.

"Then you can kill her." Randy said as he picked her up and carried her to the bed.
