That same night, Maria was at her house packing all the things she needed before leaving to go to Mickie's party/sleepover and at the same time, talking to Mickie on her phone. She was not thinking of Randy or her feelings for him either. But she couldn't help but to wonder and ask Mickie a couple of questions that only Mickie could answer.
"What if I see Randy? I don't want the feelings there. Not tonight." Maria complained.
"Maria..." Mickie was cut off by Maria still babbling on.
"What if he tells Candice and brings her along with him? Oh my god, if I see that bitch, I'm gonna rip her mouth off and shove it down the toliet!" yelled Maria.
"Okay first of all, he's not going to bring Candice, second of all, OW! That was my ear Maria. You didn't have to yell."
Maria giggled. She loved how her friends react to everything she does. Especially Mickie's reaction. She was the funniest. That's why Mickie and her are best friends. They loved to make each other laugh.
"Sorry Micks. I didn't mean to do that."
"Yeah, it's okay Ria. So you will be here right?"
"Of course I will. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Great. Okay see you later boop."
"Bye pyscho." Maria laughed
"I'm not a..." Maria had already hung up before Mickie could finish her sentence. She got her favorite pajamas and lingerie before leaving the house. Everytime at Mickie's sleepovers, the girls would always have a contest. Last time it was a bathing suit contest, but now it was a lingerie contest. The only thing different was that the guys would be there, starring at them.
Maria felt a little cautious, because Randy would be there looking at her. As much as she would like to show him her sexy side, it felt kind of weird to let your best guy friend looking at you in lingerie.
She set a side her feelings and packed her lingerie. She didn't care anymore about what they thought. She just wanted to have some fun with the contest and with her friends.
Maria walked out of her house and into her car. She couldn't wait any longer. She was so excited and she just couldn't hide it.

Randy was at home still packing. He was still trying to figure out where he had put that one special thing he was looking for. He wasn't really happy that it was a party/sleepover. He was siked for the party but sleepovers weren't really his thing. It wasn't any guy's thing. It was his first sleepover since he was 5.
He had finally found the thing he was looking for. It was a teddy bear that he got for Maria on her birthday. He never got the chance to give it to her because of Candice and his anniversary was on the same exact date. He thought this could be his chance to give it to her and maybe even tell her he loved her but yet again he was dating Candice. He liked Candice but he didn't love her.
He sighed but smiled at the same time. Seeing Maria's face when he gives this to her will be in his mind forever. He packed the bear and was ready to head out the door but he was stopped by the candy-coated diva.
"Hey, where are you going?" asked a curious Candice.
"I'm going to Micke's party/sleepover tonight." answered Randy.
"So you're not going to be home tonight?" asked the candy-coated diva.
"No. I'm sorry." said the Legend Killer.
"Well, I'll come with you." said Candice.
"No Candi. I don't think that's a good idea." said Randy
"Why not? Don't you want your girlfriend there?" asked a suspious Candice.
"No it's not like that. I mean Mickie didn't invite you and Maria is going to be there and it would be kind of rude just to bring you anyway." explained Randy.
As much as she wanted to fight back, she couldn't. Randy made some good points. Mickie didn't invite her because Mickie was Maria's best friend, it would be rude of him to just bring her without any notice and she certainly did not want to see Maria there at all. So she decided to let it go.
"Yeah you're right. I hope you have fun." said Candice with a fake smile.
"Thank you baby. I'll see you tomorrow." he said. He pressed his lips against hers before leaving.
x------x------x-------x------x------x
Maria had arrived at Mickie's house and was really not surprised to see that the place was packed. The music was blasting and people were talking out and inside. Just as she got out of her car, she saw Randy pull up in the driveway. They saw each other and smiled. Randy got out, walked over to Maria and hugged her.
"So I see you actually came here. I bet you're so excited about the sleepover." Maria joked.
Randy laughed. "Yeah I am. I can't wait to talk about boys and do each other's hair." Randy said sarcastically. "You know sleepovers aren't really my thing. But at least it's a party and I get to be with my best friend." said Randy with a smile Maria loved.
Maria was starting to blush and she could feel it. She turned her head around so Randy couldn't see that she blushed at his remark.
"Did I make you blush?" asked Randy.
"Yeah but just a little." answered Maria with her head still turned the other way.
Randy smiled. He turned her head to face him. He could see that she was a little embarassed. "Why are you always so embarassed? I think it's very cute when you blush." Randy said when a smile.
Maria blushed again. She couldn't help it. All the things he said about her were sweet and thoughtful. That's one of the reasons why she was in love with him so much.
"Thanks Randy." she hugged him. It felt really good to be in his arms. Maria couldn't really hug him as often as she liked to because of Candice. But now, now that Candice wasn't there, she could hug him all she wanted to and without any interupptions.
"No problem Ria. We should probably go inside now. It looks like it's about to rain." suggested Randy as he looked up at the sky. Just then, tiny rain drops started to fall. Randy grabbed Maria and ran inside. After they were inside, they saw that everyone was dancing. Randy looked at Maria and saw that she was kind of depressed by looking at everyone dancing as a couple.
Randy didn't dance much but for Maria, he would dance for her. He loved her so much that he would dance in front of the whole entire world just for her. He just wanted her to be happy. Maria was looking down. She didn't want to ask Randy to dance because she knew that he wasn't that into dancing. She walked away from him and sat down on the couch, watching everyone dance and have a good time.
She sighed and wrapped her arms around herself. That's when she saw an arm extend to her. Maria followed up the arm to see Randy's smiling face.
Maria smiled once more. "Um...what are you doing?" asked Maria.
"Oh wait, I almost forgot." said Randy still extending his arm and began to speak. "Maria, would you like to dance?"
Maria was shocked. Was she dreaming? Was actually Randy putting aside his thoughts about dancing and really asking her to dance? Maria didn't know what to say.
"You're asking me to dance? I thought you hated dancing." Maria said. She was curious but happy that Randy actually asked her.
"Yeah I do but my best friend is upset and the only thing that makes her feel better is to do want she wants. And right now, dancing is what she wants to do right now." Randy said with a smile.
Maria has been in many surprised but this one was the most shocking. Randy was putting aside his feelings for dancing and asking her to dance with him. He never asked Candice to dance but he's asking Maria to dance.
That was the one question on her mind. Why was he asking her to dance but he never asked Candice?
"Of course I will." Maria finally answered as she put her hand into his. Maria slowly got up as Randy lead her to the middle of the floor. They began dancing for a while. Randy wasn't really a bad dancer. Maria still didn't know why Randy didn't like to dance but he was good at it.
After moments of dancing, the song faded away. Just then, Rather Be With You came on. It was slow-dance kind of song. Maria couldn't do it. She just looked around and saw everyone dancing with their boyfriends and girlfriends then looked at Randy. She went to go sit back down.
Randy grabbed her arm before she got even 2 inches away from him. "Where are you going?" asked Randy.
"I'm going to sit back down. It's a slow dance." asnwered Maria.
Randy pulled Maria back into his arms. "Doesn't mean we have to stop dancing. I'm just getting use to this." said a smiling Randy.
Maria smiled and agreed to continue dancing with him. Maria layed her head on his chest and placed her arms around his neck as Randy wrapped his arms around her waist. Maria saw Mickie was looking at them with a smile on her face.
Having fun? mouthed Mickie.
Loads of fun. I love him but I can't tell him. Not just yet. mouthed Maria back.
The song with over after a couple minutes. Everyone clapped and some people left because they couldn't stay as long as they wanted to. Mickie got on the couch and began to speak.
"Okay, it is now time to switch over to sleepover mode." the guys groaned and the girls cheered. "I need all the girls upstairs in my room to get ready for the contest. This time the contest is a lingerie contest." this time the guys cheered and the girls laughed. The girls went upstairs as the guys sit down on the couchs to watch. This was their favorite part of Mickie's parties. They always get to see the girls do something very sexy.
x------x------x------x------x------x
Almost every girl was dressed except for one redhead was looking down at her lingerie, which was in her lap and hasn't even been touched it yet. The girls were worried. Did Maria not want Randy to see her in that? Didn't Maria want to show him her sexy side? So many questions unanswered and such little time.
"Maria, are you okay?" asked Melina.
"Um yeah I'm fine." Maria still didn't look up.
"Come on Maria. What's wrong?" asked Mickie.
"Nothing is wrong. I'm fine girls, really." Maria lied.
"Maria how many times do I have to tell you? You can't lie to your friends." explained Ashley.
Maria knew Ashley was right. No matter how hard she tried, her friends would always figure her out. She finally gave up.
"Alright. I just don't want Randy to see me in my lingerie. I don't know what he will think about me." Maria asnwered honestly.
"Maria, he's not going to think anything bad about you." said Mickie.
"How do you know that?"
"Because you're his best friend. He would never do something like that." answered The Bella Twins.
"And we know it for sure." added Kelly.
"Yeah but I'm still not doing it." said Maria.
Her friends sighed. "Okay but when you want to we will be downstairs." Mickie began. "Okay girls we will be using our entrance themes and we can do whatever we want." finished Mickie and the girls went downstairs leaving Maria behind.
Was Maria really not going to do the contest? This was always her favorite part of the party. She didn't want Randy to see her because she was a little shy. She sighed and looked at her lingerie. She was in deep thought.
x------x------x------x------x------x
The guys were waiting for girls to finish up. They had nothing else to do, so they decided to just talk for a while.
"So Randy, when you are going to tell Maria?" asked John.
"Tell Maria what?" asked Dave who overheard John.
Randy looked at John and gave him a thanks-a-lot look. "Nothing." answered Randy.
"No you gotta tell us." said Punk.
"And why should I? I believe that I don't have to do anything I don't want to do." Randy was starting to get a attitude.
"Yo chill Randy. Just tell them. They aren't going to tell anyone." suggested the Chain Gang soilder.
"Fine. But if any of you guys tell, I will kill you." Randy took a deep breath and began to speak. "Okay, I'm not going to tell Maria this anytime soon but I'm in love with her." The room was quiet. They looked at Randy like some kind of creeper.
"What?" asked The Legend Killer.
Just then the girls came downstairs wearing dresses over their lingerie. The guys were ready to see what the girls have under their dresses except one Legend Killer, who was looking for the Ditzy Diva. Surprisingly to Randy, she wasn't there.
"Where's Maria?" asked Randy.
"She decided she didn't want to do it" answered Melina.
The guys were ready and so was the girls. Mickie went first and took off her dress first. She was wearing a pink and blue bar with a little pink and blue mini, mini shirt. She danced to her theme. Then it was Melina. She removed her dress reveiling her lingerie. She was wearing a pink and orange bra and panties matching. She also danced to her theme and did her split at the end. The guys cheered and Melina smiled. The rest of the girls went and at the end the guys were about to judge when Maria's entrance was played. The looked and saw Maria coming down the stairs where her dress and removed it. She was wearing matching leather bra and panties. The guys eyes popped out as she blew a kiss to them. She danced as well and stood next to the girls.
The guys were ready to voted and wrote down the names. After they were done they held up the pieces of paper. And Maria won hands down. She had all 7 votes. She smiled and the girls went back upstairs.
x------x------x------x------x------x
Everyone had went to bed and were asleep. Maria was still awake in Mickie's bed. She couldn't sleep when she was in Mickie's bed with other people. She stared at the ceiling and sat up on the bed. Maria was happy that she won and got Randy vote as well but she didn't know why she couldn't sleep.
Then Maria got a text
1 unread message..
Maria knew exactly who it was. It was the only person who would be awake to text her.
message from: Randy Orton
Maria smiled and opened her inbox and read.
Hey you awake?
Maria texted him back. "Yeah I am."
Come downstairs
"Okay I'll be there in a mintue."
Maria quietly got up from the bed and tried to avoided stepping on her friends and waking them up. She finally got out of Mickie's room and walked downstairs. She saw Randy sitting on the couch. He saw her and smiled. Maria smiled as well.
"You're still wearing your lingerie?" whispered a question to Maria.
"Yeah. I didn't feel like changing." whispered Maria as she laughed quietly.
"Oh. You look very hot in that." Randy smiled and saw Maria blush. He guessed he should change the subject. "So how come my best friend couldn't sleep?" whispered Randy.
"I don't know. I can't sleep when I sleep with over people." Maria whispered back.
"Oh. Well I got something for you." whispered Randy as he got something out of his bag.
"Really? You didn't have to get me anything." Maria whispered.
"It was for your birthday but I didn't get a chance to give it to you." Randy whispered and gave her the teddy bear.
"Oh my gosh Randy! This is the nicest thing you gave me." she whispered and hugged him. She closed her eyes and dozed off. Randy took notice of this and carried her to his bed. He couldn't take her upstairs becuase he was making enough noise as it was. He layed her in the bed and layed next to her. He tried to stay away from her and touching her would be bad. He kissed her lips softly. As soft as possible so she wouldn't wake up. He smiled and went to sleep.
Little did he know, she was still awake and felt the kiss and she smiled as well. But they would both have many problems to deal with in the morning if their friends find them in the same bed together.
