A few days passed; today was the day Cody and Logan were supposed to go and pick up Randy and Tyson from the airport. They were sitting in the airport waiting, Logan in Cody's lap. He couldn't' take his eyes off of her.

"I still feel like I'm dreaming." Cody smiled kissing her shoulder.

"Then you've been having very good dreams every night huh?" Logan joked.

Cody inched his fingertips up her thigh under her dress, "My dreams aren't that good. I think that is definitely real life."

She squirmed and giggled in his arms.

"There they are!" Logan exclaimed, jumping to her feet.

Logan attacked Tyson hugging her tightly.

"I missed you so much! Did you have a good time?" Logan asked, winking not so covertly.

Tyson smiled half heartedly, "Yeah, everything was really nice."

Randy and Cody went to collect their suitcases.

"Are you okay? You never called, I was worried about you." Logan questioned.

Tyson nodded, "So what about you and Cody, you seem a lot more relaxed around him."

Logan broke into a huge smile, "I had an epiphany and decided to give him a chance, so… we're officially dating now."

Tyson bit her lip, "Congratulations. I know he's happy."

"So am I! I was stupid to push him away." Logan countered.

Randy and Cody came back with their bags.

"So do you want to go to dinner with me and Logan tonight to tell us all about your trip?" Cody asked looking between Tyson and Randy.

She ducked her head a little.

"Sure we'd love to go." Randy answered for both of them.


As soon as they got back to the hotel and dropped Randy off at his room Logan hurriedly drug Tyson to her, Cody and Ted's room.

"Okay, tell me what's wrong right now." Logan demanded glaring at Tyson.

She'd been about to die to find out what was wrong with her.

"Hey Ty, welcome back." Ted greeted pulling her into a hug.

"Nothing's wrong." She lied flopping on the bed beside Teddy.

Logan crossed her arms and tapped her shoe impatiently.

"Was it boring, did he make you stay at a shitty hotel, did he have a small dick, what?"

Both guys groaned.

"I don't want to hear about Randy's dick, babe." Cody grimaced.

"Me either." Teddy agreed.

"Leave or cover your ears, but this is the kind of stuff we talk about, so deal with it." Logan spat, frustrated that Tyson was being so elusive with her.

"Temper, temper." Tyson teased resting her head on Ted's chest, "They don't want to hear and I don't want to talk about it."

Logan shook her head, "Nope, not getting out of it, so start talking. What happened?"

Tyson rolled her eyes, "Everything was perfect. The room was the best they had to offer, the food was great, the water was beautiful, Randy was very sweet and attentive, the sex was AMAZING, and I had an overall fantastic trip."

"I would have loved to have seen that." Ted grumbled.

Tyson laughed, "You would have enjoyed it, trust me."

"So why are you not with him right now? Wouldn't you want to be with him if everything went so well?" Logan narrowed her eyes, "You're leaving something out. Spill it. Now."

"I might have told him I loved him." She confessed.

Logan, Cody, and Ted all gasped at the same time.

"What do you mean 'might have' were you drunk?" Logan pressed.

Tyson shook her head.

"What did he say?" Cody pressed, completely caught up in the drama now.

Tyson paused inspecting her nails, "He said he loved me too."

Another round of gasps.

"Is this some big secret? Are the two of you together now?" Ted asked.

"No, I told him I was caught up in the moment and didn't mean it." Tyson confessed.

Logan slapped Tyson on the leg, "You stupid girl, why would you do that? He is perfect for you!"

Ted pinched her arm, "Yeah!"

Cody came around Logan to get in his hit too but Tyson raised her hand like she would backslap him.

"Yeah!" he added sticking his tongue out at her.

"Says the girl that booted your ass to the curb." Tyson pointed out.

"She came to her senses so you can't use that as an argument." Cody defended.

"We're not perfect for each other." Tyson stated.

"Why not?" Teddy asked fiddling with her bracelet.

"We're just not." Tyson said after a few moments of silence.

"You can't even think of one good reason." Logan accused.

Tyson huffed out a deep breath, "Just leave it alone."

"No! He is the only guy that I think is good enough for you. I can think of a thousand different reasons why the two of you would be perfect together." Logan argued.

Tyson raised her eyebrows to get her to continue.

"He's gorgeous for one thing, exactly your type. He treats you like a queen, he protects you and worries about you, he keeps your interest which is like the worlds hardest thing to do, and you said the sex was amazing. What more do you want?" Logan asked.

"He planned that whole trip hoping that you would finally fall for him as hard as he's fallen for you." Teddy said quietly.

Tyson sat up, "What?"

Cody punched Ted in the stomach, "You idiot! Randy's gonna kill you!"

Tyson glared at Ted watching his ears grow redder and redder, "What are you talking about?"

"She should know Cody! It's not like it's something awful. Randy planned and paid for that trip all by himself, his parents took him to dinner or something. He didn't think you would go if he told you that he planned it." Ted explained.

"So he lied to me?" Tyson asked quietly.

"No, he just wanted to be with you; to be somewhere special for your first time together. He'd been planning it for months. He really does love you Tyson." Cody added.

Tyson bit the inside of her cheek trying to maintain her temper, "Then why would he lie?"

"He didn't want to scare you off by telling you how he felt, like I did with Logan. He did everything he could to make you love him, so he wouldn't lose you." Cody said.

Logan was staring at Cody, "And the two of you knew?"

Ted shrugged, "That's the kind of stuff we talk about."

Tyson was dazed. It was kind of crazy to think that Randy had been scheming to win her hear the whole time. She knew she should be enamored with all of his efforts but she only felt anger. She felt deceived, now she wasn't sure about anything.

Tyson grabbed her bag and slowly went to the bathroom, "I'm going to get ready for dinner."

Three pairs of eyes watched her disappear into the bathroom.

"You and your big fucking mouth!!" Cody hissed at Ted.


They met up an hour later with Randy who was waiting in the lobby with a single long stemmed red rose.

"You look beautiful." Randy complimented handing her the rose and kissing her cheek.

She'd decided to go retro with a white knee length strapless dress that was skin tight. A red patent leather belt cinched her waist and matched her peep toe pumps.

Her ruby red lips tweaked into a smile, "I know."

She took the rose and broke off most of the stem, placing the flower in his jacket pocket. She took Teddy's arm and went to the door. Randy was unmoving, a little stunned by her actions, "What's gotten into her?"

Logan smiled patting him on the shoulder, "You."


Dinner was tense to say the least. Randy was telling them about the trip while Tyson glared at him from across the table.

"It was really cool going on that dinner cruise. It was so beautiful, all the stars and stuff, right Ty?" Randy asked.

He tried several times to include her into the stories but she continued to simply smile and nod. Randy ran his tongue over his teeth in frustration.

"And when we got back to the room filled with all of the candles and rose petals, Tyson put on this really sexy lingerie set with these pink bows, because she was my 'birthday present'…" Randy continued trying to get some kind of reaction out of her.

"That's enough Randy, thanks for that" Logan cut in.

Randy and Tyson's crystal blue eyes clashed across the table. Teddy fidgeted nervously beside Tyson.

"What's wrong Ty?" Randy asked finally.

"How exactly did your parents hear about that place again?" she wondered.

Teddy tried to shake his head covertly but Tyson spied him and elbowed him sharply.

"They found it on the internet." Randy answered slowly.

Tyson smiled and nodded, "I'm sure they came across it and thought to themselves, Randy sure could try and make a girl fall in love with him here, we should book him a trip there."

Comprehension dawned on him suddenly as he glared at Cody and Ted.

"Don't look at them, look at me." Tyson ordered meeting his fierce gaze with her own.

His eyes softened, "They didn't book that trip, I did."

She crossed her arms, "I know."

He continued, "I didn't think you would go with me if I told you that I planned everything."

"I know." She repeated.

His brows knotted together, "So what are you so mad about?"

Tyson placed both of her hands on the table and leaned forward, "You lied to me. You didn't just plan the trip, you planned everything!"

Randy stared at her waiting for the opportunity to apologize.

"You've been deceitful the entire time." She accused leaning back and crossing her arms.

Randy couldn't stop the smirk that crossed his face, "I'm not going to apologize for wanting you Ty, and I'm not sorry for loving you and wanting you to love me back. You said you loved me too, so I don't understand your anger at all."

"You tricked me! You've been playing and using me the whole time." She hissed setting her mouth into an angry red pout.

Randy rolled his eyes, his fury projecting from him right at Tyson.

"I used you?" he asked incredulously.

She gave him a tight nod.

"All of those other guys that you had sex with and never saw again…those are the motherfuckers that used you Ty. I did everything to be with you. Okay, so maybe id didn't tell you everything, but I didn't do it to hurt you." He growled.

"All of your 'good intentions' don't mean shit, you're no better than the rest of them." She said throwing her napkin on the table to get up.

Randy's hand shot across the table to grab her wrist, pulling her back to her seat, "Is that what you like? You would rather me treat you like a slut? Sleep with you, disregard your feelings, and never respect you at all? You would rather me be an asshole to you than hide the fact that I love you?"

Tyson snatched her arm away from him, standing to leave again, "Go to hell Randy."

He grabbed her again forcing her back to her seat. Teddy stood hoping to gain some control of the situation.

"Sit the fuck down Teddy!" Randy ordered.

Tyson grabbed her wine glass and threw it in Randy's face.

"Keep your hands off of me." She ordered leaving Logan Cody, and Ted in shock.

Randy stood quickly toppling his chair and bumping into the table as he spun Tyson around to face him. He crushed his lips to hers, ignoring her tiny fists beating against his chest. He forced his tongue into her mouth wanting to embarrass her. He wanted to punish her for rejecting him. He finally pulled away and looked down into her eyes. They looked like two blue flames, she was so furious. She swung her open palm at his face but he caught her before she connected.

"Calm. Down." He hissed between clenched teeth as she struggled against him.

"Let me go right now!" she ordered.

He shook his head a defiant smirk on his face, "I'm not letting you walk away from us Tyson."

Her eyes widened, "There is no us!"

"You were the one who said 'I love you' first so you can't tell me we don't have some kind of chemistry." He argued.

"All because of your master plan. Congratulations…it worked…I fell in love with you. THEN, I find out that all of this was planned." She said sarcastically.

Randy shrugged his shoulders, "You know that I love you too, I told you I was sorry, why can't we just move forward?"

She let out an infuriated sigh, "Because I don't even know the real you, all I know is the Randy Orton that you had planned for me to know and fall for."

He wet his lips finally letting go of her wrists to cradle her face, "This is the real me. The only thing I kept from you was how much I really cared for you."

Tyson clenched her jaw tightly trying to stay calm. She'd already made a big enough scene.

"I need time." She whispered.

Randy nodded, "I owe you at least that."

He pressed his lips to hers gently and pulled her to him in a hug, "Give me a chance Ty. Don't punish me for loving you."

She pushed away from him and went to the door.

Ted whisked past Randy. He went back to the table with Cody and Logan. He gathered up a cloth napkin to try and blot away the wine she'd thrown on him.

Randy chuckled to himself, "Think there's a chance in hell she'll forgive me?"

He could almost feel the despair settling in as he tried to imagine life without her. Of course he'd dated other girls and had even gotten pretty serious with last one, but they didn't compare to Tyson. She was familiar to him; they'd grown up their whole life together. He didn't know if it was even possible to describe finding your soul mate. He had to laugh at the fact that he'd finally found her and she had rejected him. Maybe he was destined to be unlucky in love, destined to be a player his whole life. He secretly hated the whole "Lady Killer" moniker but it sold merchandise and put butts in seats so who was he to denounce it. Wasn't like he hadn't earned it.

"She'd be crazy if she didn't. I've heard several guys give her the same speech and she would laugh in their face. Do you want me to talk to her for you?" Logan asked.

"No, I want her to come to a decision by herself." He said quietly.

"I don't think you have anything to worry about, I mean, if I can get Logan there's no way you shouldn't get Tyson. They're one in the same. She'll come around." Cody assured.

Randy snorted sarcastically. He was trying not to give up, but he very seriously doubted he still had a chance with Tyson Flair.
