Chapter 6 – Unwanted Arousal

What was she to do?

"Randy…what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you," said Randy. He went up closer to her. "John told me what happened."

"So you've heard?" Maria wished he hasn't known about it, especially on that same night.

"Yeah I have," said Randy. "So how are you feeling right now?"

"I'm alright," said Maria.

Randy made a small smile before pulling a small stool out to sit close to the young Diva.

"That's great to hear."

She nodded. "Can you please go now?"

"So if that's the case, then why are you upset?"

"Excuse me?" Maria asked, pretending to not know what he was talking about.

"I heard you said that you can't cope with something when I came in."

"Oh…you did?"

"Yes." His eyebrow was slowly raised. "So what is it?"

Maria bit her lip.

"Well?"

"It's nothing wrong."

"Nothing wrong? From what I've heard, it sounded serious. I mean it has to be something really bad for you to be like this."

Maria wished that Dr. Gordon would come back and get him out of the room.

"No really, it's nothing."

"Then why are you here?"

"Why can't you leave?"

She didn't say that part out loud.

Randy looked at her with concern and the wonderment of what she may be hiding. She was hiding something. She could tell from the expression on her face when he asked her that question. He may have to keep on digging further deep to get the information out of her.

"It's not that serious…is it?" Randy asked, hoping that it wasn't that bad or worse.

She had to do something. There was absolutely no way that he could ever find about the baby that was indeed his.

"No, of course not," said Maria with a laugh. "It's just the salmonella."

"You've been food poisoned?"

"Yeah, my stomach was hurting like hell the whole time."

"Wow, that sucks."

Maria nodded. "I really can't take it."

"And you said it's not that serious?"

"Okay, why can't I make this any easier?" she thought.

"I don't want you to be all pitying over poor 'ol me," Maria made a grin.

"I'm very worried about you," said Randy. He reached out for her hand and held it with such compassion. Maria hated to watch his expression let alone lie. She never wanted to, but if that's the best way to keep the unborn child from becoming a barrier to everyone's lives, then so be it.

"I'll be fine," said Maria.

"Are you sure?" Randy asked.

"I'm sure," Maria beamed. "I should be at a full recovery by morning."

"That's good news."

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry to hear about your match being cancelled."

Maria sighed. It was a big blow to her to actually miss a match that meant so much to her and all that hard work would be flushed down the toilet.

"Yeah well it was a disappointment to say the least."

"I'm sure it is," said Randy. "I know that it has always been your dream."

The young Diva frowned. "Maybe it wasn't meant to happen anyway."

"What? Come on, you can't take like that."

"I got sick right before my match even started. It's a sign, a definite one."

Randy shook his head from what he just heard. What did that come from?

"You're being over dramatic," he continued.

"I'm serious!" said Maria. "How many Divas ever have this happened to them?"

"Well…"

"Exactly, there's none whatsoever!"

Randy grinned. "You sound like you got hit by a curse."

"That's what I'm saying!" said Maria. "This is my worst night ever."

He could see the sadness and the disappointment in the green eyes of the young Diva. The only thing he could do that was to cheer her up.

"Don't feel bad," said Randy. "Everything's going to be fine."

"Yeah I hope so," said Maria with a bit of weakness in her voice.

She knew that not everything was going be fine.

"Maria, listen I've been anxious to talk to you for the longest while now."

"And that would be about what?"

"You know what I'm talking about," said Randy.

Maria slowly sank into her bed. He was about to recall the night after the greatest pay-per-view of the wrestling industry.

She said nothing.

"After that night," he continued with regrets coming back to him. "We totally tried to avoid each other and we don't even talk or hang out anymore and I miss that."

Maria looked back at him. She missed being with him as well.

"I miss those times too," the young Diva admitted.

He nodded. "I also miss seeing your stubborn face."

"Hey!"

The laughter broke out in the room between two good friends.

"And I also miss that famous cocky smirk of yours!"

Randy's lips curled up and flashed out his snow white teeth. His eyebrows would be raised in flirtatious way a Legend Killer could only pull.

"I know you do, baby!"

Maria laughed. "Randy Orton, you never changed one bit!"

He grinned. "I never intend to."

She beamed. "Well I'm happy to hear that."

He grinned. "And I'm happy that we're talking again."

The young Diva made a smile. She was happy about that too.

"So how's everything with you?"

"Just good," said Randy. "I had a chat with my fiance earlier."

"Oh, how's Isabelle?"

"She's great. She's in Washington attending a meeting but she'll be back in St. Louis tomorrow."

"I'm sure you're happy about that right?"

"Of course I am," said Randy with a grin. "I miss her terribly."

Maria made a giggle. "I assume that your wedding plans are going well?"

"Absolutely," said Randy. "This wedding planner we hired was terrific. We're going to meet him again this weekend to see what else is needed to be in place before this event starts."

"Awesome."

"Yeah."

Maria held his hand close to her and looked at him.

"I'm very happy for you," she said. "I just hope that Isabelle knows how lucky she is to have you."

Randy grinned. "Well someday, you'll be happy just as I am. When you'll find that guy who could make your whole world complete, you'll know who's the guy you've been looking for all along."

The young Diva nodded and smiled broadly. She was happy now that they started to talk again just like old times.

"Excuse me, sir?"

They turned to the voice behind. It was the doctor.

"Dr. Gordon," Maria didn't expect her to see her back so soon. "You're back already?"

"Yes," said Dr. Gordon with a serious expression on her face. "Sir, don't you know what time it is?"

"It's just after eleven," said Randy.

"Which is exactly my point," said Dr. Gordon. "It's way past visiting hours and I don't recall allowing you to come here."

"But I just wanted to…"

"If you want to see Miss Kanellis, you have to ask for my permission first."

"It's just…"

"I know you want to send a few minutes but I'm sorry. I'm just following the policy of this medical institution. I don't appreciate you violating them either."

"I'm very sorry doctor," said Randy.

"You're excused. Now it's time for her to rest so may I ask you to leave please?"

He nodded and stood up from his seat and turned to Maria.

"I'll see you in the morning, okay?" Randy gave a gentle pat to her arm before turning himself to the door.

"Randy…"

He turned back and his blue eyes would be on her again and a smile was formed on him.

"I'm not going anywhere; I'll be right outside with the others."

Maria opened her mouth again to say something but then hesitated. She closed it back and simply nodded.

"Good night Maria."

His back was turned to her and made his exit through the door. She couldn't believe that he would sneak in her room just to see her. His sweetness amazed her and that was the side of him she adored the most.

She missed being with him. She missed telling him everything.

To keep it short, she missed him a lot.

"Oh why?"

She was relieved to have the doctor back to chase Randy out. But at the same time, she didn't want him to leave.

Despite of what her mind told her, her heart couldn't let go.

Maria groaned quietly as she sank back into her bed. Her head on the pillow and she knew that she would need to take some rest after a stressful night she had. But there was something on her mind that could keep her wide awake for the whole night.

"Why?" Her thoughts couldn't find the answer that she was looking for.

"What have I done to deserve this? Why am I getting this feeling?"

This was definitely the worst night she ever had. She wished what she was feeling would go away. But it couldn't do so like magic.

"Couldn't this night get any worse for me? First Randy came and I had to lie to him about my condition and I kept the baby a secret from him. And now…I'm falling in love with him…again…"
