Ashley and Randy were sitting at a table in the corner. But fans kept coming up and telling Ashley how horrible she was so they got moved to the VIP section. Even though there were other people in there they didn't bother bashing Ashley but just asking for autographs. Finally they were left alone.
"Randy this is a great place! How did you know about it?"
"Last time we were here me, Hunter, Dave and Ric got lost and found this little Italian place. We were here for hours until Vince finally found us and ordered us back to the hotel. Guess they had to make this place bigger."
"Yeah. Hey, do you think this is going to work?"
"What do you mean, 'this?'
"I mean our relationship. I'm on RAW and you're on Smackdown. It would be difficult to see each other."
"Don't worry we can make it work. Now let's go before Vince fires us both."
Ashley looked at the time. It was almost midnight. But she didn't want to go back yet. She wanted to stay out. She remembered the club 5 blocks away from here.
"I have somewhere we can go."
"But Vince…"
"Shut up and follow me."
Ashley paid the bill and left a big tip. She got in Randy's car and demanded the keys. Randy looked at her, but finally gave the keys up. Ashley drove to the club. She looked at the neon lights and the line to get in. The last time Randy was here….he stopped thinking there. He vowed never to step into this club again. But Ashley didn't know better so he didn't bother telling her. She got out and grabbed his hand. They ran across the street and budged in front of everyone else. The bouncer was going to ask for ID but he knew who they were so he let them in. The music was loud and bursting through the speakers. Randy remembered everything about the night when Torrie went behind his back. But who was he with? Before he could finish his thought, Ashley pulled him to the floor.
"Come on! We gotta work off all that spaghetti!"
Ashley started to sway her hips. Then she started to really dance. Randy just stood there and watched her dance. The way she moved mesmerized him. But then he saw some guys eying her. So he walked up and danced with her. They danced for at least 2 hours. Finally his cell phone rang. It was Vince probably telling them to get their ass back to the hotel. Randy grabbed Ashley and made his way outside.
"Randy where are we going?"
"Vince called he wants us back."
"Fine. But can I stay in your room? I can't face the divas yet."
"Yeah sure."
Randy and Ashley made their way back to the hotel. There was bad traffic so it took them a while to get back to the hotel. At every stoplight Randy stole a kiss from Ashley. She thought her lips would fall off from all those kisses. Finally they got to the hotel. Randy got valet and they went to his room. They got to the 3rd floor and Randy saw Dave come out of his room.
"Randy! Man Vince has been looking for you all over the place! Ash you better get back to your room."
"Well Dave, we gotta talk about that."
Randy pulled Dave over to the end of the hall.
"Listen. Ash doesn't wanna face the divas yet. So is it OK if she stays in our room?"
"Hell no man! I know what she did was bad but she has to face it! She went behind her brands back. On any other occasion, I would let her. But dude, you gotta take things slow."
Randy sighed. He knew he was right. He had taken things way to fast with Torrie. He wondered how she was after the hit….never mind that. Dave went back into the room. Randy walked up to Ashley.
"Sorry babe. You can face the divas. Their all sleeping now. Just get up before them and go down to the restraint or something OK?"
"Alright. Love you."
Ashley kissed Randy and went into her room. Randy was right. All the divas were asleep already. Ashley tip toed to her bag and took off her clothes. She was about to get in the bed for her, but Torrie was already there. There was a note on the night stand. She was too lazy to read it so she slept on the ground. But she just couldn't sleep. She grabbed her bag and went down to the main desk.
"May I help you miss?"
"Do you have any rooms left? It doesn't need to be too big. Just with a bed and a bathroom."
The guy click-clacked on the keyboard for at least 5 minutes.
"I'm sorry we're all booked. But if you're desperate, you could stay in my office."
"Oh thank you…Steve."
"No problem. Here's my key. Just be out by 6 because the super comes around to clean it OK?"
Ashley nodded and went to Steve's office. She took out her pillow and blanket and laid on the floor. It wasn't comfortable, but it was better then staying with the divas. Soon after a while, Ashley drifted to a deep sleep.

"Oh my god this is soooo sweet!"
Torrie woke up and put her hand on her head. John's kiss still lingered there from last night. She saw the divas looking at a piece of paper. Torrie got up slowly and put on her silk black robe. She noticed that John didn't undress her. She was glad he didn't cause then she would think that he was a perv. She walked to the divas to look at the note. It was for her. It was from John.
"Why are you looking at my note?"
She swiped the note from Trish and looked it. John's handwriting was very neat, even though he wrote it in the dark.
'For now and forever babe.'
Torrie's eyes teared up to the note. Trish came over and hugged her friend.
"He really loves you hun."
"I know."
"Do you love him?"
"Yeah I do."
"Good cause he kept stopping by this morning. He was worried about you. Might wanna go downstairs to the café and tell him you're OK."
Torrie nodded and grabbed some clothes to change into. She said good morning to all the other divas and hopped into the shower. She dried her hair and got dressed. She wore light denim jeans with holes from Calvin Klein and a red Hollister shirt. She got Chloe
Who was awake and was in Victoria's lap.
"Hey where's Ashley?"
All the other divas looked at Candace, who raised the question.
"What? I saw her come in this morning but then she left."
"I don't know and frankly I don't care."
Torrie grabbed Chloe and put her in her little doggie carry on. She made her way downstairs to the café. She saw the RAW stars down there while all the Smackdown stars were in the restraint. She walked over and sat with Hunter, Shawn and Ric.
"Hey Tor! Took a mad spill last night."
"Yeah but what else can you expect?"
"Want me to introduce her to my 'special friend?'"
"As much as I would, no thank you. But thank you for the offer."
"If you're looking for John he's outside. He's been talking about you all morning."
"Thanks Ric. See you guys later."
She waved goodbye to the guys and looked outside. John was sitting outside at one of the café tables. He had his headset on and was reading a car magazine. His belt hung on his shoulder loosely. She looked to the restraint and saw Randy and Ashley with Dave, Rey and Eddie. She shuddered and went outside. She snuck up behind the WWE champ and took his headset off. Then she bent in and gave him a kiss. He turned his head to look at the beautiful diva.
"Hey there! Sleep well?"
"Yes. Thank you for carrying me up to my room. And I loved the note."
She turned around and smacked her butt to show the note was in her pocket. John laughed and got up. She got out Chloe's leash and tied her to the plow outside so she could do her business. John put his arms around Torrie's waist and kissed her cheek. Torrie sighed and put her hands on John's arms. They stood there watching Chloe bark at all the people passing by.
"She's kind of a cute dog."
"Thank you. I loved her when I saw her."
"Takes her looks from her owner."
Torrie laughed and turned around. John kissed her and then tickled her. She screamed and laughed. She fell to the ground with John on top of her. She screamed mercy but he wouldn't stop. Chloe was barking at the commotion. People stopped and looked at the new couple. Finally John stopped and let Torrie breathe.
"Do you give in?"
"I gave in 10 minutes ago! Your mean!"
"Hey! I take offense to that!"
Torrie laughed and pulled John into her. Just before they could kiss Shelton came out and broke up the party.
"Alright love birds get up. Vince says we're leaving. So get your bags and let's head to the airport."
John got up and helped Torrie up. She untied Chloe and put her back in her carry on. Torrie got a crazy idea, but she went ahead with it anyways.
"Would you want to go back to Idaho with me? I want you to meet my parents."
John looked at Torrie, and then fixed his belt.
"Um, don't you think it's a little too early to introduce me to your parents?"
Torrie looked at John. He was actually serious. She looked down at her silver charm bracelet and played it.
"Yeah I guess it is. How silly of me. So I'll see you on Friday?"
"Yeah guess so. See you then babe."
John kissed her on the cheek and got into a cab. She watched the cab go to the airport. She sighed and look at Chloe. She brought the bag up so she could see her dog.
"Guess we have more work to do don't we?"
