Chapter 7: Chapter 7
"Shut up, you're acting like I'm some pathetic loser." Randy said as he unlocked the car.
"I hate to ruin you're little "Everything revolves around Randy Orton," but you are a loser. Dave said with a smile
Randy just rolled his eyes and bolted out of the parking lot.
Dave is such a smart ass, but I'll show him that Felicia still wants to be with me…
Life as we know it
The next morning
New York City, New York
"Listen to me Felicia; Randy is still in love with you. Couldn't you tell last night?" Tiffany asked
"How many times do I have to tell you hard headed brats, I don't care? I'm in love with Taylor, we're happily married and living our lives to the fullest. All that needs to happen now is me getting pregnant." Felicia said as they walked down the streets of Manhattan.
"Wait, you want to have kids by him? I'm sorry girl, but you have lost your god forsaken mind. I mean that man is sexy as shit, but damn. I seem to think that you and Randy would have the cutest kids." Tiffany smiled
"Tiffany, don't make me smack you. Cause I'm about two point five seconds away from swinging this bag at your head." Felicia threatened
"Damn, you must really be over Randy if all you can talk about it Taylor. I mean you've been saying nothing but his name since we left the hotel." Ashley said
"You damn skippy, and I'm going to continue to talk about him until the thought of me and Randy together is burned out of your brains. So just to let you all know that there is no future with me and Randy Orton." Felicia said as they walked into Sacs Fifth Avenue
"Are you kidding me? You can afford to shop here? I can't believe this chick can afford to shop at Sacs! I've always wanted to shop at Sacs, but my bank account and my pregnant belly says otherwise." Ashley said looking around the large store
"Ashley, just make sure you don't go into labor in the store, because if you get blood on any of these nice things, your twins won't have to worry about having a mother." Tiffany said in a cold tone.
"Hey! Don't start that money hungry talk, Tiff. I really don't have the patients to hear you running your mouth about nonsense that'll get you hit in public." Felicia said getting an attitude.
Tiffany turned around to face Felicia, "What's wrong with you? You're acting like you've never heard me talk like that?" Tiffany said confused
"I am just so sick of you going on and on about how much money you spend on this and that. If you keep talking like that, there will be blood on this very nice clothing and it won't be Ashley's." Felicia said as she pushed past Tiffany.
"What the hell is wrong with you? It seems like the whole Randy situation is going to your head, Felicia. I mean it's not like you're still in love with him….unless you are." Tiffany said
Felicia stopped in her tracks and dropped her bags, she turned around with an evil expression on her face and looked dead at Tiffany.
"Felicia, don't do anything stupid." Ashley warned
"I'm not going to do anything, I'm just going to kick her ass up and down this store!" Felicia said as she started to chase Tiffany around the store.
"Why are you running? You want to run your mouth so much, come back here and say that shit to my face!" Felicia yelled
"Felicia calm down, you're going to make me go into labor early." Ashley said holding her stomach.
Felicia stopped chasing after Tiffany and walked back over to where Ashley was standing, "I'm sorry Ash. It's just that Tiffany won't shut up when she's asked to." Felicia said picking up her shopping bags.
"Well just drop it, the guys are probably waiting for us at the restaurant, so we better get going." Ashley said heading for the exit.
Felicia and Tiffany shortly followed behind her. When they got back to the hotel, Randy was sitting in the lobby.
"Randy, what are you doing here?" Felicia asked
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you…alone." He said staring at Tiffany and Ashley.
"Okay, okay, we get the point. Tiff lets go to our rooms and get changed." Ashley said as she dragged Tiffany onto the elevator.
Once the elevator doors were shut, Felicia turned to face Randy, who had a pretty annoyed look on his face.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Felicia asked as she sat down in one of the lounge chairs.
"Actually I was hoping we could go walking." He said as he held out his hand.
Felicia looked at his hand and took it. He lifted her up out of the chair and they walked out of the hotel.
"So what's up?" Felicia asked again
"Why didn't you tell me that you were married?" He asked
"Because it was none of your business and if I wanted you to know I would have told you."
"Listen, I know what I did at the party was unexcused, but I didn't mean for it to happen. She kissed me." Randy said
"Randy, I don't care anymore. It's over, I'm over it, and I'm married. So there's nothing we can do about it now." Felicia said as they walked through central park
Randy stopped and grabbed Felicia by her arm, spinning her around to come face to face with him.
"Tell me that to my face. Tell me that you aren't in love with me anymore." He said his face merely inches from hers.
"I'm not in love with you anymore, Randy. Now let go of my arm." Felicia said yanking her arm out of his grasp, "Now if we're done here, I have to get back. The girls and I are going out to eat with the fellas." She said as she headed back to the hotel.
Randy's heart was completely broken, and it was all his fault. If he hadn't kissed Melina at that party, then everything would be different. But it happened, and Felicia was married to someone who she was in love with. Randy's heart just couldn't take it.
"Felicia wait." Randy said calling after her
"What is it now, Orton?" Felicia said starting to get annoyed
"Look, I know that things can never be the same between us. So all I'm asking is that we just be friends. I can handle being just friends." Randy said
Felicia raised an eyebrow and looked at him up and down, "Just friend, huh?"
"Just friends, I promise." He said with a smirk
Felicia did always fall for the smirk, she couldn't help it. It was like his sexy way of saying it's not over until we're together again.
"Okay, just friends though." She said shaking his hand
"Why in the hell are we shaking hands? We've known each other longer than a week." Randy said pulling her into a bear hug.
"Um…Randy…I can't breathe…I can't breathe." Felicia said out of breath
"Oh! Sorry, didn't' mean to squeeze you that hard." Randy said as he let her down
"Yeah, whateva. We better get back to the hotel before we're both late for dinner." She said as she broke out into a run.
"Hey wait up!" Randy yelled after her
Once they got back to the hotel, they both cleaned up and got dressed for dinner. Randy, Tiffany, and Ashley were still waiting for Felicia in the lobby…that was until the elevator doors opened. When Felicia stepped out of the elevator, Randy almost pissed his pants. Felicia had on a Turquoise rhinestone halter dress, with a pair of matching stacked heel sandals. Her micro braids were curled into a long pony tail with one curly braid on each side of her face.
"You look amazing." Randy said almost drooling
"Um, you have a little something on the side of your mouth." Felicia pointed out
Randy went to go wipe it off, but realized there was nothing there.
"Ha, ha very funny. So are yall ready to go, or what?" Randy asked
"We've been ready since we woke up this morning." Ashley said with a smile
"Correction, you've been ready since this morning. I was still enjoying seeing the back of my eyelids." Felicia joked
"Has anyone ever told you that you enjoy sleep too much?" Randy asked
"Nope, and you know what? I really don't care, wanna know why? Because there is nothing wrong with sleeping. It keeps you comfortable, and you can dream about whatever the hell you want." Felicia said with a smirk
"Like Randy." Tiffany said under her breathe
"What was that?" Felicia asked clearly hearing what she said.
"Nothing." Tiffany said rolling her eyes
When they arrived at the restaurant, they met up with the rest of the guys and were seated. Felicia was sitting in between Randy and Taylor, John was sitting next to Ashley, Tiffany was seated next to Jeff, and Dave was sitting at the other end of the table.
"So, how's the wrestling life going for you guys?" Felicia asked breaking the awkward silence
"It's great; we're enjoying the vacation that was given to us. But we have to go back to work next week." Randy said
"And do you know what cities yall are headed off to?" She asked taking a sip of her red wine.
"We're headed to Canada for a couple of weeks. Plus, several of the superstars are Canadian, so they would like to visit their families." Dave said as he smiled at Felicia
Felicia noticed this and smiled back. She couldn't help but get butterflies in her stomach. Every time he looked at her or touched her, something inside of her would go absolutely crazy. At that point, she knew she was losing her mind. She went out with Orton in college, got married to Taylor after college, and now she was starting to crush on one of her best friends, who just so happened to be Orton's best friend also.
Well ain't that about a bitch. Felicia thought to herself
Wait, what the hell am I talking about? I'm sitting here having sexual thoughts about my ex-boyfriend's best friend? I don't think so. And I'm happily married? There is no way in hell I'm gonna let anything ruin this marriage. If it kills me, I'm going to make this marriage work for as long as I have a single breath in my body.
The her thoughts were interrupted with something hit her on the head, "What the he-" Felicia was cut off when she realized that she was back in the restaurant with her friends, and her husband.
"Sorry, did I zone out?" Felicia asked
"Zone out? You were sucked into a black whole, sweetie. Are you okay?" Taylor asked
"I'm fine babe, I think I just need some fresh air." She said getting up from the table.
"I'll go with her, since I'm big and all." Dave said following her outside.
Once they were alone outside, Felicia backed into a while and started to gently hit her head up against the wall.
"Felicia what's wrong with you? Why are you doing that?" Dave asked starting to get worried
"I'm trying to get all of these negative thoughts out of my head. I have all of these wants and desires that can't be fulfilled, and I can't live with that in my head while I'm married to Taylor." Felicia said as a stray tear fell down her cheek.
Dave walked over to where she was standing and gently cupped her face. "What's so bad that you have to bang your head up against the wall to get rid of it?"
"If I told you, you would take it into complete consideration. I'm married and I'm sitting at the table having sexual thoughts about another man." Felicia said turning away from Dave.
"Would that man happen to be me? Because if it is, I have to let this be known; ever since college I have been wanting you so bad, but I just left it alone." He confessed
Felicia turned to face Dave, she had a perplexed look on her face, "You mean to tell me that after all these years, you decided to wait till I was married to tell me that you've wanted me since college?"
"Better late than never, right?"
"Better late than never? Is this some kind of joke? You're my ex-boyfriend's best friend, and you expect me to just give up my life to be with you? HA! That's classic. You know what, just forget I ever told you anything." Felicia said as she started for the entrance
Dave gently grabbed her arm and pulled her into his chest. Their faces merely inches from each other.
"What are you doing?" Felicia asked
"Something I should have done along time ago." He said
The distance between the two of them closed and they began to kiss passionately. Dave caressed her back as she ran her fingers through his short brown hair. As their tongues intertwined with one another Felicia felt herself becoming extremely aroused by the way Dave was touching her. His large arms were wrapped around her waist, her arms were wrapped around his neck, and his tongue ring traced a line down the side of her neck. Felicia pulled away.
"When did you get your tongue pierced?" She asked a little taken back
"I got it pierced a couple months ago, why?" He asked with a smirk on his face
"No reason, but I still don't feel right about this." Felicia said looking down
"Listen, if you really love this Taylor dude as much as you say you do, then you wouldn't be thinking about me. Now how long have you two been married?" He asked
"We've only been married for two and half years. So it hasn't been that long?" She said
"How did you two meet?" He asked
"I met him at an after party." She smiled
"An after party, what does he do again?" He asked
"He's an actor. He's currently starring in the series Friday Night Lights." She stated
"I knew he looked familiar. But anyway, you know where your heart lies…and it's not with him." Dave said
"I never thought I would have to go through a separation so soon. I mean I'm in love with Taylor, but I'm in love with you too. Look, you're going to have to give me some time to think about things." Felicia said
"I have all the time in the world to wait for you, and when you're ready, you know where I am." Dave said kissing her hand.
As she watched him walk back inside the restaurant, she started to pace back and forth.
What am I gonna do? I mean I'm in love with both Taylor and Dave, but I can't have both. I'm gonna have to choose one, and the other is just going to have to move on. I just don't know! Dave and I have known each other since college, but Taylor is the love of my life. Ugh, I hate having all this weight on my shoulders…wait! Taylor had something to ask me before I left the hotel this morning, so I'll wait until then…I just need to think some more.
Just then her thoughts were interrupted when she felt someone's hands on her shoulders. When she turned around she noticed the sexiest green eyes she had ever seen.
"Baby are you okay?" Taylor asked
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just thinking that's all." She replied as she grabbed one of his hands.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked
"Everything, the future, the past, the present; it's just all so…confusing." She said turning to face him
"Listen, I know it was kind of awkward seeing your ex again, but you know you have me here." He said smiling
"I know, and I'm thankful to have you in my life." She said with a small smile
"Then what's the long face for?" He asked
Felicia stared at Taylor for a moment, "Do you want kids?"
Taylor was caught completely off guard. He didn't know what to say.
"Do I want kids? Why?" He asked
"Because one day I want to have a family, and I want to know if you want kids?" She asked again
"Sweetie, I don't think kids are the best idea right now. I mean your career is just taking off, and I'm always gone, so we would be too busy for kids." Taylor lied
"No, you would be too busy for kids. I work from home, so I would have time to spend with the kids, but you would be gone all the time." Felicia said
"Please let's not fight again." Taylor said
"I'm not fighting Taylor; we're having a civilized discussion on why you don't want me to have your kids." Felicia said
Taylor looked at Felicia with a cold look in his eyes, "You damn right I don't want you to have my kids. I have worked too damn hard to get where I am, and I'm not going have it taken away just because you want to have kids."
"So that's how you've been feeling all this time? Selfish and jealous…you know what, don't even bother coming home. Hell, for all I know you probably have another girl friend back home." Felicia said
"Felicia, why do you do that? You can't seem to get it etched in your brain that I am a movie star. And you and I both know that movie stars don't stay married to the same woman for too long." Taylor said
Felicia looked at Taylor with pure hate in her eyes, she wanted to beat the shit out of him for saying that. He completely disrespected her and made her feel less than what she was.
"I can't believe you would say something like that. So what, everything between us was a lie? Is that it? Was this all just a big game to you? Our wedding day and the proposal? Was that just part of your game plan?" Felicia asked starting to get pissed
"Felicia I suggest that you calm down. You don't want to make a scene." Taylor said
"Oh I don't? Well let me tell you something Mr. Hot shot movie star. On our wedding day you decided to be generous and not have us sign a prenupual agreement, well now that your talking like you want to get a divorce, it looks like half of everything you made this past year is going to be mine." Felicia said with an evil smirk
"What? Who said anything about a divorce?" Taylor said
"You don't think I'm going to stay married to you after you talked to me like that, now do you?" Felicia asked putting her hands on her hips
"Well-"
"And I hope you don't expect me to forgive you and play the "we can still be friends" card, because I'm not. I refuse to be a trophy wife, and once I get my attorney, your ass will be put to the cleaners…Now if you'll excuse me I have friends in there who are waiting for me." Felicia said
As she walked inside the restaurant, she noticed everyone had a puzzled look on their face.
"Where's Taylor?" Ashley asked
"Taylor who?" Felicia asked
"You know your sexy ass husband Taylor?" Tiffany said
"Oh! You mean my soon to be ex-husband, Taylor. Well, he's currently outside sulking because I told him that I refuse to be someone he can use and throw away, and hopefully he gets the picture." Felicia said
"Well, life as we know it…has gone straight to hell in a hand basket for our precious Felicia." Tiffany blurted out
Felicia shot Tiffany the worst possible look anyone could give, that was a sign for Tiffany to leave as soon as possible.
"Um, Tiff sweetheart. I think you better take back what you just said before you get seriously hurt." Jeff said scooting away from Tiffany
"What? I mean I didn't say anything offensi-"Tiffany was cut off by a fork hitting her directly in the head.
"What the hell! Felicia what was that for!" Tiffany yelled
"You know exactly what that was for, you money hungry tramp." Felicia spat
Randy and Dave looked at one another and flashbacks of the fight between Felicia and Melina came flooding back.
"Grab her." They both said simultaneously
At the same time both Randy and Dave got up and grabbed Felicia before she jumped over the table.
"Let me go! Nah, that bitch wanna talk shit about me. I'm gonna kick her ass!" Felicia screamed
"Well at least I have a man who loves me, and doesn't treat me like shit. Isn't this relationship number two that has gone straight to hell. Damn Felicia, you're just bad luck." Tiffany said with an evil gleam.
"Fuck you, bitch. You lucky I got Randy and Dave holding me back. Because if they weren't you best believe I'd have my foot shoved so far up your ass you could taste the leather." Felicia threatened
"And this coming from the lame ass writer. Please Felicia, save me the hysterics, okay." Tiffany said turning her back to Felicia.
Then without warning, Felicia stepped on Randy's foot and punched Dave in the groin. After she was loose, she leapt over the table and tackled Tiffany to the ground. Punching her in the head continuously, Felicia didn't let up.
"I am gonna kick your ass!" Felicia said in between punches.
Then Randy and Dave pulled Felicia off of Tiffany, who was bleeding from the nose and the mouth.
"That'll teach you to talk shit about me. And you know what, our friendship…IS OVER!" Felicia yelled as she walked out the door with Randy, Dave, Ashley, and John at her side.
