The next morning; start of Wrestemania Axxess
Randy and Riley had called Becky to look after the kids for the week of Wrestlemania. They thought about calling Kathryn, but they thought she would still be upset with them. "Thank you so much, Becky! We really appreciate this." Riley said. "No problem, honey. Have fun!" she said. Randy and Riley left to board the plane to NY/NJ.
When they landed, they checked into the hotel and got settled. "What's on the agenda?" Riley asked. Randy looked through his laptop at his calendar. "I've got a few signings, radio shows, and of course the Axxess stuff." He said. Riley nodded and smiled. "I'm going to change and meet Dani and Theresa later. I guess I'll see you later tonight." She said as she pecked his lips. Randy smiled. "Okay. Have fun." He said as he left the room.
When Riley met up with the girls, they got caught up over a late lunch. They were both pregnant; Dani was 4 months along, Theresa was 3 months along. Riley was excited for them both; she showed them pictures of her own children. "They're beautiful, Riley." Dani said. Riley smiled. "Thanks." She said. "So this is the baby Sam had?" Theresa asked referring to Nelson. Riley nodded. "Yeah." She said. "How are you and Randy going to explain to him… you know?" Dani asked.
Riley shrugged. "We hadn't really planned on telling him at first; but since he looks so different from us and the twins, we know he's going to start asking questions when he gets older." She said. Dani and Theresa nodded. "Do you think he'd be upset about you and Randy keeping it from him?" Theresa asked. Again, Riley shrugged. "I don't know; I wouldn't think he'd be upset. I mean, Sam tried to kill the only woman Nelson knows as his mother. If anything, he'd be mad at her and not me and Randy." she said.
The other women nodded and changed the subject. "So how does it feel to have Randy at home?" Dani asked. Riley smiled. "I love it. I just can't believe he retired. After that thing with Kristen—" Riley quickly stopped talking. She had forgotten that she didn't tell her two friends about Randy's affair. They both furrowed their brows in confusion. "What thing with Kristen?" they asked in unison. "Nevermind. It's nothing. How about we go check on the guys?" Riley suggested, ending the discussion. The women paid and left.
At the area, the three women walked right in past security in search of their husbands. Cody was doing a meet and greet with Damien Sandow, but Sheamus and Randy were nowhere to be found. Riley checked with one of the event coordinators; she saw on the schedule that Randy would be in a locker room backstage. She wondered around until she found a door with his and Sheamus' name taped to the door. Riley was about to knock on the door until she heard Randy and Sheamus talking.
"I didn't know you were going to retire, fella. What happened?" Sheamus asked.
"It wasn't my decision to make. Riley was pissed off about some stuff and she told me to quit. She said if I didn't quit, she was going to leave me and take the kids with her, so…" He said with a nonchalant shrug as he trailed the end of his sentence.
Riley was shocked to hear Randy lie on her to Sheamus. She started to knock anyway, but she changed her mind. She went back into the arena where she bumped into someone, knocking her to the floor. "I'm so sorry." She said as she stood and dusted herself off. "It's okay. It's my fault; I wasn't watching where I was going." A man with a thick British said.
She looked up and saw it was Wade Barrett. "Riley! How are you? I haven't seen you in a while." He said with a kiss to each of her cheeks. "I'm okay, Wade." She said softly. Wade frowned in confusion. Riley was usually really excited to see him. "What's wrong, love?" he asked. Riley shook her head. "It's nothing really. I'm fine." Riley said. Wade saw through it and looked around. "I'm taking a break right now if you want to talk about it." Wade said.
Riley smiled at Wade's ability to see through her lie. She nodded and followed him to his locker room. Just as she went inside, Randy had come out the locker room he was sharing with Sheamus. He saw her go into the room with Wade and got curious. He couldn't explore the situation because it was time for him to go to his booth in the arena. He made a mental note of it, though.
That night, Riley didn't bring up what she heard Randy tell Sheamus about why he retired. She did, however, keep Randy at a distance. She went to bed without kissing him goodnight; she slept facing away from him. She didn't really hold much conversation with Randy the rest of the week. She spent more time with Wade the entire week than she did with Randy. Randy tried to keep a positive outlook on the situation; he knew Riley was a fan. He assumed maybe they were just getting to know each other as friends.
It wasn't until the night of WrestleMania that Randy got really suspicious. During the show, Riley didn't want to sit with him in the audience. She chose instead to hang out backstage. Randy assumed she was with Dani and Theresa, but he saw both of them in the audience the whole time. It was then that he realized that Riley was backstage with Wade.
When Barrett's match started, the usually brute man came out seemingly happy. He had a big smile on his face and Randy knew what kind of smile it was. It was an I-Just-Got-Laid smile. Randy was seething; he had drawn the conclusion that Riley had been sleeping with Wade Barrett.
After the show, Randy was going backstage to find Riley so they could go back to the hotel. Before he could, Riley sent him a text message. *Going out. Don't wait up.* Much later that night, Randy was sitting alone in the hotel; he wanted to be awake when Riley turned up, but it was really late. Randy looked at the time; it was nearly 3am. He sighed and went to bed.
Just as he laid down, he heard something outside the door; Riley was just getting back. "I had a really good time today. We should really get together more often." Riley said. Randy wasn't sure who she was talking to, so he waited for a response. "I had a good time, too, love. Come see me tomorrow before you leave?" he asked. Riley giggled. "Of course. I'll see you later." She said. "Alrighty then. Have a good night." Wade said. "You, too."
Randy didn't hear much after that; only two kisses he assumed were planted on each of Riley's cheeks. He was furious; Riley had ditched him to spend nearly the entire night with Wade. Riley swiped her keycard and tiptoed into the room only to see Randy was still awake. She stopped suddenly. "Oh. I thought you would have been asleep." She said quietly. Randy sighed. "Well, when my wife disappears for hours with another man, it's a little hard for me to sleep." He said with a bite in his tone.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Riley asked. "Are you sleeping with him?" Randy asked all of a sudden. Riley was caught off guard by the question. "Really, Randy? Am I sleeping with him?" she repeated the question. "Yeah. Are you sleeping with Wade?" Randy said. "You know what? If I am, then you know at least a little how it feels to have trusted someone only to have them betray you." She said. "Oh, don't you throw that in my face! That's in the past; we put that behind us!" Randy shouted as he stood from the bed.
Riley didn't reply. She just went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. When she was done, she pulled on a tank top and a pair of sleeping shorts. She slipped under the covers with her back to Randy. She didn't say anything to him and he didn't say anything to her. Riley easily slipped into a deep sleep.
Randy, on the other hand, laid awake for hours trying to decipher Riley's answer. She didn't deny sleeping with wade, but she didn't confirm it, either. He hadn't expected Riley to bring up his short fling with Kristen; it was the one thing that made Randy question Riley's faithfulness since. In the back of his mind, he had always thought Riley may have an affair of her own to get back at him; it was probably happening right now. In the midst of his thinking, Randy drifted off to sleep.
When he woke up, the sun was shining and Riley was gone and so were her bags. Randy groaned and stood from the bed; there was a note on the bedside table. It was from Riley. I'm staying a little longer today. You can check out; I won't be using the room. I'll see you at home. xo Riley Randy crumpled up the paper and threw it across the room. He angrily packed his bags and checked out of the hotel. As he was checking out, he heard a familiar giggle. He followed the sounds and found Riley having breakfast with Wade at the hotel restaurant in the lobby.
Randy suppressed his anger with all he had and left the hotel. He had all the confirmation he needed. He took a cab to the airport and boarded his flight home alone. During his flight, he thought about what he was going to tell the kids when Riley didn't come home with him; they weren't going to take it well. He sent an email to Becky telling her to make sure the kids were napping when he got home so he could avoid the conversation.
When he finally got home; Becky was in the living room and had put the kids down for their naps like he had asked. "Where's Riley?" She asked her brother. "I don't know." He mumbled. "What do you mean you don't know?!" she asked. "I just don't know, okay? Drop it and leave!" he shouted. Becky was taken aback by Randy's response. "What did you do, Randy?" Becky asked out of concern for Riley.
Randy scoffed. "Why do you automatically assume it's something I did? How do you know Riley didn't run off with another guy today?" he asked. Becky's eyes widened. "Oh." Becky said quietly. "Yeah; now can you please leave?" he asked nicely. Becky nodded and gave Randy a hug; she kissed his cheek. "Call me, okay?" She asked. Randy nodded. He watched his sister leave and sank down on the sofa.
After a few moments, he sighed and went upstairs to check on the kids. They all were napping peacefully. Randy dragged himself to the master bedroom and threw himself onto the bed; he tried with all his might to wake himself up from what he hoped was a bad dream. He had convinced himself that he had no right to be upset with Riley if she was sleeping with Wade because he had an affair of his own; he thought maybe he deserved it.
A/N: Thanks for reading! Don't forget to review.
Also, this story has been extended. I don't want to draw it out too long; I know how annoying really long stories get. Don't worry; it won't be 70 chapters long, but it will be a bit longer than originally planned. If it gets too long, I'll just make a sequel. Please review!
