"I hate this" Randy murmured with a heavy sigh to no one in particular. We were lying in my bed, tangled up in the sheets after hours of love making. Moonlight was peeking through my Victorian styled curtains.
"What?" I asked curiously. Was it my bedroom that he hated or was it me? Did I do something wrong? I started to worry. "What do you hate, baby?"
"When we stay at each other's places…" he explained. I nodded like I understood but I didn't get it. Did that mean that he didn't want to live with me? And the experience was too much? "It's perfect when we spend time at each other's places. I love waking up in the morning with you beside me…And then…one of us has to leave and go back to our home and I hate it so much…why did St. Louis and Stamford have to be some fucking far?"
I didn't know what to say. Shit, I didn't know what he was trying to say. This wasn't the first time that Randy talked to me about hating separation.
"What can we do, baby?" I asked finally. I got silence. No answer. I looked up and Randy was snoring lightly.
I guess I'll never know.
----
Monday was another house show in Connecticut. It was also Valentine's Day.
In the morning, I woke up with Randy's arm around my waist.
I yawned and slipped out of bed. He looked so peaceful. I didn't want to wake him. For the past few days Randy and I have been living in absolute bliss, just like a happy couple should.
And the best part was:
No Stacy
I was thrilled to have my man all to myself.
I went to the kitchen to make breakfast. I decided to make pancakes, eggs, and sausages. I was feeling good.
I decided to check my voice mail, seeing as my phone was plugged out all night.
"First message BEEP Hi Lex, it's Angel your BFF, remembaaaa? Why aren't you answering your phone? Oh….wait I already know, you and Randy…busy. she laughed Talk to you later. Love ya." I shook my head at Angel. That girl was too much. "Next message. BEEP Hey babygirl, it's John just wanted to see how you're doing. Bye. BEEP Next message. Alexandria, it's Aaron, just please answer the phone. I really need to speak to you. Beep Next message. Alexandria, please answer or call me back as soon as possible. BEEP Next message. Alexandria, I know you probably don't want to answer but let me explain. I know that I got what I deserve. I'm sorry that I hurt you, I just want to know how you're doing. So please answer. BEEP End of new messages"
I held the phone to my ear and sighed. So he didn't want to kill me, which was good. But I was still scared. I put on my coffee maker and stood staring out of the window. Randy came into the kitchen in his boxers and hugged me from behind making me jump.
"Morning gorgeous, Happy Valentines Day" he said.
"Happy Valentines Day, baby" I said. He gave me a deep long kiss.
"I'm surprised you're not sleeping late. I wore you out last night, didn't I?"
"You sure did" I replied not paying attention.
"I'm ready for round what? Six?" he said moving in for another kiss. I ducked out of the way with a giggle.
"Let's eat first" I was hungry as hell and hated cooking because then you have to wait for the food to be ready. I walked back over to the toaster and dropped two pieces of whole wheat bread in. I turned the dial to medium-brown. I stared into space thinking. He turned me around and I looked down at my feet.
"You alright?"
"Yeah" I replied. He touched my chin to make me look up at him. His hair was messy and he always looked so cute right after he woke up.
"Sure? Cuz I'll make you feel better"
"Yes, honey" I giggled. "Where are you taking me tonight?" I asked just to change the subject.
"It's a secret"
"Bayyybee!" I whined. "I want to know"
"You'll find out tonight after the house show" I pouted.
"Please" I begged clasping my hands together like I was praying. I batted my eyelashes and smiled.
"You're so cute when you do that, but I'm not telling you"
I moved forward and wrapped my arms around his waist. I planted kisses on his bare chest.
"What if I did something, would you tell me?" I bit my lip."Hmm…" He leaned forward and kissed me. I thought I really had him hooked when he pressed me up against the wall and pushed his hips into mine. But then with a grin he broke the kiss and laughed. "Nope."
"Randy, you're such a tease" I said walking back to the stove and turning it off.
"You shouldn't be calling anyone a tease"
"Excuse me?" I turned back to him quickly.
"You heard me, babe. You were a tease for the first three months we worked together…"
"I wasn't a tease" I started to pour coffee into my mug. I grabbed my milk and poured it in. I added some sugar and sat up on the kitchen counter. It was a bad habit that I always did.
"Yes you were Lex, you know you wanted me since the day I walked into your office" he walked up to me. Since I was perched on my kitchen counter, we were finally eye to eye. He started to rub my bare legs.
"And you wanted me the day you walked into my office" I countered matter-of-factly starting to get lost deep in his eyes.
"Damn right" he winked at me. He pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. "And I got you" He leaned in and kissed me. "Hold on I got to get something" He went back into the bedroom and came back holding something in his hand.
"What is that?" I asked.
"It's not for you"
"Randy! I want it!" I yelled like a little girl.
"Tell me you love me and that I'm the best" I giggled and rolled my eyes.
"I love you and you're the best…" I rambled.
"Say it like you mean it or I'll take it back" his blue eyes sparkled boyishly.
"I love you Randall Keith Orton and you're the best in the whole wide world, no the solar system, no…the UNIVERSE that's how great you are. You are a greek god and simply the best…is that good?"
"That's better" He handed it to me. It was a black jewelry case. I opened it; it was a diamond tennis bracelet. "Oh my god, Randy" I said breathing in at the sight. I put out my hand. "Put it on for me…"
"Do you like it?" he asked fastening it onto my arm.
"I love it" I was still breathless.
"I love you"
"It's beautiful" I said raising my arm to admire it in the light.
"You're beautiful, babe" he said watching me intently. "You know, someday I hope to complete the set"
"Complete the set?" I asked still transfixed with my bracelet. It must have cost a fortune. "What's left earrings?"
"And a ring" he replied. I almost chocked. I looked at him. Our eyes met and he nodded his head.
A ring?
An engagement ring…
I welt like screaming and wrapping my arms around him and saying, 'Mary me now, lets go to Vegas I don't care!'
I looked away blushing.
"I love you" I smiled hugging him.
---
I watched him in silence as he got ready for his match. I fiddled with the World Heavyweight belt on my lap. I ran my fingers over his name and smiled. I was so lucky. I was living a dream. I had my dream job with the WWE that I wanted since I was a child and watched wrestling with my grandfather. I was dating and hopelessly devoted to Randy Orton, the Legend Killer, and the World Heavyweight Champion. He was all mine, well kinda. I didn't care what else happened in my life as long as I was happy and with him. Everything was right, except for Stacy and her bullshit. I was so blessed.
"You're staring baby…" Randy teased.
"I know"
"It's only natural…I mean look at me" He said staring at himself in the mirror. Randy could model he was just so good looking.
"Babe, you are conceited and you got a reason" I laughed digging some lip-gloss out of my purse. I stood next to him in front of the mirror and started to apply a fresh coat. He wrapped his arm around me and stared at our reflection.
"Look at us…" he said to himself out loud. I smiled and rested my hand on his arm. "Damn, we are gonna have some gorgeous kids"
I blushed and turned my face away. I didn't want Randy to see that I was both excited and shocked. He was talking about 'us' having kids. I could see it all now. I could see myself as the housewife taking care of out two kids, a boy and a girl. I was thrilled by what he said, my heart skipped a beat.
But my thoughts were interrupted by one of the backstage people telling Randy that he needed to be on in five minutes.
"Great, I'm gonna go home and get pretty for you and then I'll be back" I said reaching for my coat and scarf.
"You're already pretty"
"I'll get prettier" I giggled.
"Impossible…Kiss me for good luck" I smiled and gave him a quick peck.
"Good luck, you're gonna be great honey" I said. He pulled me back into his arms and kissed me.
"Come back soon, you know I can't have you away from me, babe"
I sped home and ran into the shower. I was so excited for tonight. After I got out of the shower I pulled on my Victoria's secret lingerie and my little black dress. I finally curled my hair and did my make-up. I was in the middle of pulling my black stilettos on when my phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered still trying to keep my balance while I slid a Jimmy Choo on my left foot and held my house phone in my other hand.
"Miss Taylor, its Emily from the front desk" Emily was the most annoying bitch. She worked downstairs. She would go through your mail and tell you things like, 'You've got a bill from American Express' and then read your magazines and then give them to me when she's done reading them and already used the perfume samples. I can't stand her.
"Hi Emily" I drawled sarcastically.
"You have flowers down here, it came today" she said.
"Alright, I'll come down"
I finished putting on my shoes and pulled on my trench coat and stomped out of my apartment.
"Somebody has an admirer" Emily smiled as I walked up to the front desk.
"Why don't you tell me who it is?" I quipped.
Cuz I know you already read the card.
"Some guy named Aaron Jackson and a John Siena" she said brushing a strand of brown hair behind her ear.
See what I mean? Nosy bitch.
"It's Cena" I corrected. The first bouquet was of daisies. I read the card.
Happy Valentine's Day, Alexandria. I'm still sorry and hope you'll forgive me.---Aaron
"Ehmagosh, what didya do that guy?" she asked shaking her brown bob. "Forgive him!"
I shoved Aaron's flowers down the counter to make room for the other one.
"Mind your fucking business" I mumbled snatching the card out of the bouquet of white roses. They reminded me of the one's that Randy sent the first day I met him.
Happy Valentines Day, baby girl. Love John
Love?
Like friend's love.
Just friends.
"Awww he is too sweet" I cooed. I wiped out my cell phone and dialed him. "Thank you so much, John!" I said immediately after he answered the phone.
"You got them, I'm glad"
"They're beautiful" I smiled. Emily was pretending to clean up the desk but I knew she was listening.
"Then they're just like you"
How sweet.
"But anyway John, I have to go. Thank you so much for the flowers. I'll talk to you later, Bye."
I ran the flowers upstairs. I gave Aaron's to my neighbor, Isabelle, she's the nicest old lady and she's so sweet. I placed John's on the coffee table and sped back to the arena.
STACY'S POV:
I was walking around backstage when I found Randy sitting down drinking a bottle of water, his match just ended.
"Hey" he said his eyes filled with concern.
"Hi" I smiled. I sat down next to him. "Happy Valentine's Day"
"Same to you. Is everything okay?" I nodded.
"Yeah, it's okay. I was thinking about Valentine's Day last year…"
"Oh yeah. I remember" he laughed softly. "I think we were on the road…I think"
"We were" I said thinking back to that night.
"And we sat outside of a truck stop looking up at the stars"
"You told me I was….your star" I said touching his arm. He looked at me in the eye and didn't say anything. His eyes said everything and I felt it. "Let's go talk somewhere else"
He nodded and we went to my dressing room. We were laughing hysterically at the things that happened on the road. We looked back at old times and I sighed, missing it all. I swallowed. "You know when I found out I was pregnant I was so happy for us. I always imagined it. You and me with our little boy or girl….if it was a girl I wanted to name her Kylie and if it was a boy we could have named him Randy Keith Orton, Junior…"
"Me as a father, Stace?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"You would have been a great dad…" I said my voice trailing off. He smirked. "It's true. We would have been great parents…together"
"Things happen for a reason, Stace" he said.
"Yeah but I still love you" He paused and looked away.
"Stace…." He said. I sighed loudly and turned his face to mine. I looked him in the eye.
"You don't have to say it Randy" I said quietly. "I understand, you're torn…between me and Alex" He didn't answer me but just looked into my eyes. I moved forward until our mouths were almost touching. I wanted to kiss him so badly.
"Stace I-"
"STACY!" Jillian screamed barging into my dressing room. She paused and looked at us. I closed my eyes in anger. "I just wanted to borrow some hair spray" she smiled weakly.
Shit, Jillian.
END OF POV
I walked into the arena shaking with excitement. I couldn't wait for tonight, I knew it was going to be great.
I went back to the locker room. Randy wasn't there.
I guess I'll just wait, I thought. I sat down on the couch for a few minutes looking at my nails and day dreaming about tonight.
A few minutes soon turned into half an hour.
Where the hell is he?
I looked back at the clock. Something wasn't right.
I hate to wait, didn't Randy know that about me. Even if it's for five minutes I cannot wait. Patience is something that I really don't have.
I stomped out of the locker room and walked down the hall. I saw Batista.
"Damn, Alexandria, you look-"
"I'm lookin for Randy, seen him?" I questioned quickly.
"Nope…" I started to walk off. I felt lost in the arena searching around every corner for Randy. I started to get angry with every step that I took. Where was he?
I saw Kristal backstage talking to one of the camera men.
"Kristal!" I yelled approaching her.
"Hey Lexy. You look good. What's up? I'm about to leave" she motioned to her pink duffel bag on the floor.
"I'm looking for Randy"
"Girl, his match ended a long time ago" she said. "He's not in his locker room?"
"No" I sighed.
"I dunno where he could be" she said looking around. "Maybe he's hangin out with the guys"
"Dave said he didn't see him"
"If I see him before I leave I'll tell him that you're looking for him"
"Thanks, girl" I said. "See you later"
"Bye"
Let me be the first to say that I hate to look for things like cell phones, remotes, house keys, etc because I always loose things. And I look once and get pissed off. And it's worse when I have to look for people, especially when I don't know where the hell I' am. I almost got lost in that big ass arena trying to find Randy.
"Well look who it is…" a female voice that I immediately recognized as Jillian said. I turned around and placed a hand on my hip.
"Have you seen Randy?" I asked bluntly. She blinked and smiled a mischievous grin.
"Randyyyyy?" she repeated stupidly. I sucked my teeth.
"Did….you…see…Randy…?" I said slowly so that the idiot could actually understand.
"Actually, I did"
"And?" I said urging her to speak faster.
"And he was with Stacy in her dressing room. It seemed like I was about to interrupt something" she said flipping her bleach blond hair over her shoulder.
"WHAT?" I asked.
"They weren't doing anything…they were about to, though"
I walked past her. I started to walk back to Randy's locker room. I looked at my cell phone. It had been an hour since I've been waiting for Randy. When I came back to the locker room, Randy was there.
"Baby" he said looking at me. "You look amazing" I stared at him. This son of a bitch. "What's wrong?"
"Where the hell were you?" I asked angrily.
"I was-" he began.
"Oh wait don't even fucking tell me, you were with Stacy."
"Baby"
"Shut the fuck up, Randy!" I screamed. "YOU WERE WITH HER THIS WHOLE TIME WHILE I WAITED LIKE SOME FUCKING DOG WHY DON'T YOU JUST ADMIT IT ALREADY"
"Alexandria…calm down" he said.
"No!" I shook my head. "No……" He hugged me.
"We were just talking. She tried to kiss me but I told her I couldn't" he said softly. "I love you, please believe me. I wouldn't do that to you."
"But you already have, Randy" I sniffed moving away. "I…think you should stay at a hotel tonight"
"Lex" he said.
"I really think you should. I'll drop your things off in the morning, kay?" I said walking to the door. "I'm going home"
I started to walk down the hall to leave the arena but Randy followed behind me.
"Alex, don't" he said running in front of me to stop me.
"Move Randy" I said. Every step I took he blocked me. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
"Randy please, let go of me" I yelled kicking. "Let me go!"
"I'm not going to let go of you until we talk"
I gave up on the kicking and screaming as we entered his dressing room. He sat me down on the couch and held me tight.
"You have to let me go, Randy…" I sniffed. "I'am begging you just let me go. I don't want to be around you right now" He just tightened his grip on me. I couldn't put up a fight.
"Alexandria baby, please calm down sweetheart. I love you. I love you." He whispered trying to calm me. Any other day I would have relished in the moment of Randy holding me tight but today wasn't any other day. Today was Valentine's Day and my boyfriend forgot about me because he was with his ex.
"Randy… let me go…please" I begged. "If you love me…you'd let me go"
After a few moments of silence I felt Randy's grip loosen slowly.
"I love you" he said placing his hands on my shoulders. I got up without a word and walked out.
Damn that was intense! So there's a chap. It's so sad to see a perfect couple like this collapse because they are so cute together. But just for the record...they are not broken up!They are just...on a bumpy rode.So puh-lease review and muchas gracias for reading. I don't even want to speak about the SAT's all I got to say is that the College Board are the meanest people on earth. Muahzz!
