A/N: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Here's chapter 7!
The whole way to the airport, Riley cried in the backseat of the taxi. Every now and then, the driver looked in the mirror to check on her. "Is everything okay, miss?" the driver asked. Riley nodded and sniffed. "I'm fine." She said quietly.
Once at the airport, the driver helped Riley with her bags. "I hope everything works out for you." He said. Riley nodded. "Thank you." She said hardly above a whisper. She walked somberly through the airport and found her way to the service desk. "Can I have the next one-way to Memphis, please?" Riley said. The clerk looked through her computer and sighed. "The only seats available are in first class. Would you like me to check other flights?" he asked.
Riley shook her head. "I'll take the first class." She said handing the man her debit card. The clerk eyed her eerily. "Can I see some ID, please?" he asked. "Why? I've never had to show my ID before when I buy tickets. Why do I have to show you my ID all of a sudden?" she asked. The clerk was silent. He just looked her up and down. Riley scoffed. "Oh, since I don't look like some gold-digging tramp with fake tits, you think this isn't my card? That I stole it from somebody?" she asked angrily.
The clerk sighed and shook his head. "No, ma'am. I'm just doing my job. I just need to verify your identification." He said. "I'm telling you that I'm Riley-Ann Nelson. What do you need my fucking ID for?" she asked even more upset. "Ma'am please just cooperate, or I'll have to call security." He said. "Oh, please call security. I'll have your ass fired in a heartbeat." She said. The clerk picked up the intercom phone and spoke into it. "Security to the ticket counter, please. Security to the ticket counter, please." He said. He also called his supervisor.
Riley waited patiently for security to arrive. When he did, the clerk called him over. "What's the problem over here?" the guard asked. "The customer is refusing to present ID." The clerk said. "Is there any reason why you can't show ID, ma'am?" the guard asked Riley. "No. I just don't want to." She said sassily. "What's the name on the card?" the guard asked Riley. "It's Riley-Ann Nelson." She aid. The guard looked at the credit card. "And what's your name?" he asked. "Riley-Ann Nelson." She said even more sassily than before.
The guard seemed to be thinking. "Oh! You're the slut who was banging Randy Orton few months ago?!" he asked excitedly. Riley rolled her eyes. It was then when the airport manager arrived. "Is there a problem?" he asked.
Before the guard or the clerk could answer, Riley spoke up. "The clerk basically accused me of stealing my own debit card and your security just called me a slut." She said. The manager nodded. "I'm sorry about that, ma'am. What is your destination?" he asked. "The next one-way flight out to Memphis, Tennessee." She said. The manager went behind the counter and printed Riley a ticket. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Please enjoy your complementary first class flight." He said. Riley smiled. "Thank you." She said.
The manager nodded. "You're welcome. As for you two," he started; referring to the clerk and guard. "You're both fired. I'll send you final checks in the mail." He said bluntly. Riley laughed. "I told you I'd have you fired." She said to the clerk. At that, Riley walked off to the baggage check. Armed with her carry-on luggage, Riley found her seat in first class and sat. She couldn't sleep so she pulled out her laptop.
She thought about trashing Randy on tumblr, but she decided that she was better than that. She did, however, change her browser's homepage and she blacklisted Randy's name from her tumblr dashboard. She didn't want to be reminded of him in any way. The flight was a short four hours, so Riley didn't feel the need to sleep. She simply browsed the internet and ate a meal.
When the flight landed, Riley called for a cab and waited. Ironically, the cab was on time. After she put her luggage in the trunk, she sat inside and gave the driver her home address. The drive was a little longer than she would have liked due to 5pm traffic.
The cab pulled up to Riley's house around 6:30pm. She sighed as she got out. She paid the driver and grabbed her luggage from the trunk. Up the long sidewalk, she walked to the door. She unlocked the door and a cold air rushed to meet her. She shivered at the chill before walking inside and closing the door. It was dark; it was cold; it was lonely. This was the first time she had ever experience coming home to an empty house. Usually, her house was buzzing with the company of her friends.
When she turned on the lights, she made her way upstairs with her bags. She unpacked and changed into a pajama tank and pajama shorts. She then curled up in her bed where she cried herself to sleep. It had been less than 12 hours, and she was already missing Randy. She couldn't understand how Randy could break her heart so cruelly.
Sam just stood on the RV; shocked and confused. "What just happened?" Sam asked. Randy shrugged as if he had no clue what was going on. Suddenly, there was a knock at the RV's door. Randy scrambled to open it; he was disappointed to see that it was Theresa. "What just happened in here?" She asked angrily. Randy sighed. "Me and Riley kind of ended things." He said. "Why?" Theresa asked. Randy stepped aside to give Riley a clear view of Sam. Theresa rolled her eyes; she had never really liked Sam. It was one of the reasons why she had no problem with Riley and Randy's relationship.
Randy gestured for Theresa to come in. When she did, he sighed and closed the RV's door. "Sammy, can you just go home?" he asked annoyed. Sam sighed. "Sure." She said. She went to grab the gift bag and dress, but Randy stopped her. "Just leave." He said. Sam did what she was told.
Theresa stood with her hands on her hips demanding an explanation from Randy. "What happened?" Theresa asked. "What do you think happened? Sam showed up! She told me that she's pregnant then Riley packed up and left." He said. Theresa was shocked. "So, you told Riley that you and Sam weren't together, but Sam shows up pregnant?" She asked. Randy nodded.
Theresa scoffed. "You better fix this! Riley is a good person; she obviously cares about you and you just ruined everything." She said. Randy nodded. "I know." He said quietly. Theresa hugged him. "Please just fix this and get her back; I know you love her more than Sam. I know she's pregnant and all, but right now, Riley is more important." She said. Randy nodded as Theresa left.
When she was gone, Randy whipped out his cell and called Riley. She didn't answer; Randy didn't expect her to. He just left a message. Riley, please call me. I'm so sorry about all of this. I never meant to hurt you; you mean so much to me. I don't want to lose you. Please call me back. Randy hung up and sank down onto the RV couch with his head in his hands. He had really messed up; he was determined to win Riley back. He sighed and tried her cell again and again and again. He wasn't going to give up.
Theresa found Dani and told her what happened between Riley and Randy. Dani sighed. "I knew it was going to happen eventually; I just didn't think it would be this soon." she said. Theresa nodded. "Riley looked really hurt; I hope she's okay." Theresa said. "Why don't you give her a call?" Dani suggested. Theresa smiled and took out her phone. She dialed Riley's number, but there was no answer. Dani tried as well. They both did; over and over again. Still no answer.
It was a little past midnight when Riley woke. She checked her phone and saw that she had nearly 100 missed calls. Over 75% were from Randy; the rest were from Dani and Theresa. Riley didn't feel like talking to anyone; let alone anyone affiliated with WWE. She thought about calling her friends to tell them that she had come back home, but she decided against it.
As she put her phone away, Riley's stomach growled loudly. She walked downstairs to the kitchen and looked for food. She opened the refrigerator and saw that all the food she had had gone bad since she was away from home for three months. Riley pulled out a garbage bag and threw out all the old food. When she was done, she pulled on some slip-on sneakers and went to the garage.
She grabbed the keys to her Audi and drove to a local 24-hour grocery store. She didn't think she would be running into anyone there. She saw a few people she recognized, but she was able to dodge them. Riley got the items she needed and checked out.
Once she was home, Riley put away her groceries and made herself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She ate it slowly as she recapped the day's events. She was so excited to be able to go out with Randy on her birthday; it was all ruined by his wife.
Riley knew she didn't have the right to be upset since she was the 'other woman', but she was still heartbroken. She wept a little as she finished off her sandwich. After eating, Riley was wide awake; she didn't feel sleepy at all. She decided to look online for any kind of fun to do on a Saturday. She ran across a music festival; Riley thought it was perfect. She smiled and ran upstairs to find something to wear.
By the time she had picked out the perfect outfit, Riley had gotten sleepy again so she went to bed. The next morning, she made herself some breakfast and showered for the day. She dressed in her outfit and put on dramatic makeup.
The festival was ridiculously crowded, but Riley still managed to push her way to the front of the crowd. She was finally enjoying herself; the music was great and she had forgotten all about Randy. Her smile had returned and her eyes glistened. She even found a really cute guy to dance with. He was a little handsy, but Riley didn't mind. It gave her the opportunity to focus on someone other than Randy.
She noticed a few other guys in the crowd staring at her; she ignored the attention and continued to enjoy the festivities. At the end of the concert, Riley was confronted by one of the guys. "I'm sorry, to bother you, but I have to ask you something." He said. Riley was flattered. She has happy to know that guys found her attractive. It gave her hope of getting over Randy.
She smiled and nodded at the young man; giving him the okay to ask her a question. "Um, aren't you the girl who slept with Randy Orton?" he asked. Riley's spirits dropped. She felt dirty all of a sudden; like she was some Hollywood whore. She didn't like the feeling at all. She didn't answer the man, but he could tell by the look on her face that she was indeed Randy's sex toy.
The man smiled brightly and waved over a crowd of paparazzi. "It's her! This is her!" he yelled. Suddenly, a crowd of people with cameras bombarded Riley; they all asked her questions. Most of them were, "Where's Randy?" "How did you pass out?" and "Isn't Randy married?" Riley couldn't take all the questions. She tried to run away, but they were faster than she thought. She had had enough. "We aren't even together anymore!" she yelled as cameras flashed in her face.
It was her first time to admit that she and Randy were over. She didn't like the sound of it; not at all. As she made her way home, she was greeted by media cars in her drive way. She sighed and pulled into the garage. They didn't follow her inside, so she was able to get inside her house through the door in the garage.
She turned on her bedroom TV for comfort as she stripped down for a shower. While in the shower, Riley faintly heard a news report. WWE Superstar and mistress split after only a few months! More to come later tonight. Riley sighed. She had always wanted to be famous, but after all of this, she just wanted to be invisible.
Since it was a Saturday, Randy had the day off. He had no media appearances and there wasn't a show he had to attend. He woke on his RV and grabbed his phone in hopes of having a missed call from Riley. Sam was the only one who had called. Randy sighed and opened a social media app on his phone. He had hoped that Riley had posted something about her day; he just wanted to make sure she was okay.
Randy saw that he had an unusual amount of mentions. He looked and saw hundreds of posts about the break-up. He sighed. He knew Riley wasn't going to handle the spotlight well. All he wanted to do was get in contact with Riley to let her know how sorry he was. He had really messed things up with her; it had only been 24 hours and he was already missing Riley.
