Right Where We Left Off

Chapter 24

It was towards the end of the night and John was about to go out to the ring. He got to guerrilla early so he could catch the end of the last match. He stood in front of the TV, adjusting his wrist bands when he heard his name being called from behind. He froze. He would recognize that voice anywhere. He turned around and saw Carla walking towards him.

She stopped a few feet away from him and raised an eyebrow. "Do you have anything to say to me?" She asked, causing John to shake his head in disgust.

"No, Carla, I don't. Do you have anything to say to me?" He asked in the same questioning tone she used.

She smiled evilly. "Nope." John rolled his eyes and turned around to face the TV once again. "But, you know, it's ridiculous. For once, I wish you could just do something for me. For once I wish you would respect my wishes."

John's eyes widened as he turned around. "For once?! I do nothing but…" He trailed off and ran an angry hand through his hair. "Not here Carla." He said in a demanding tone. "Let's not do this here."

Carla's eyes darkened. How dare he make her seem like the one being unprofessional! "No, I think we should talk about this right now." She punctuated her statement with a childish stomp of her foot.

John bent his neck so his face was right up in hers. "I am up next." He said in a quiet dangerous tone that she knew meant he was beyond angry. "We can talk about this later." Carla's eyes glared into his and she nodded when she saw the serious look in his eyes. This was completely new for her. She was used to being the one calling the shots. She had a feeling that John's new found controlling attitude had something to do with that little ex girlfriend of his.

"John! I've been looking for you everywhere." They heard a voice carry down the hall. Carla followed John's gaze and just by the look on John's face, she knew this was Paige.

Paige wore a relieved smile as she walked closer to John and Carla. When she first saw that John was with her, her first thought was to turn around but she knew she had to face the two of them together one day. She just wished today didn't have to be that day. "The Gillette razor people just called and because your first commercial was such a hit, they wanted to know if you would be interested in doing another one." She glanced at Carla and smiled apologetically. "Sorry to interrupt but they need to know as soon as possible."

John could tell by Carla's face that she was about to say something bitchy, so he said something before she could. "Oh, no, it's ok. You're not interrupting anything. Yeah, I am definitely interested."

Paige nodded enthusiastically and waited for a minute, thinking Carla would introduce herself but her face just read that she wasn't welcome anymore. She smiled, not wanting to give this women the satisfaction. "Hi, I'm Paige." John's eyes darted down to his girlfriend, her eyes staring back at him. He silently dared her to say something rude.

Carla let out a sigh and forced a smile. "Hi, I'm Carla," She said then her smile turn evil as she wrapped her arm around John's waist. "John's girlfriend."

"Oh!" Paige said, pretending she had was surprised to find out this information. "It's so nice to meet you." Carla just nodded until she felt John's arm tightly wrap around her, not in a loving gesture but a warning.

"It's nice to meet you too." She added.

Paige looked up at John a little confused. Sure the way people described John's girlfriend, she was expecting someone unfriendly and a little bitchy, but this was worse than she thought. What was John doing with this witch? "So what are you guys doing tonight? Going out to dinner?" Paige asked amiably, trying to somehow see if this woman had a heart.

John nodded without thinking. "Yeah, probably."

Carla's eyes lit up. "Yeah, you should come!" She said in an unusually enthusiastic voice. John looked at her confused. What was she up to? It was very unlike her to invite anyone out to dinner with them.

Paige was equally as confused. She quickly glanced around her shoulder and pointed to herself. "I'm sorry are you talking to me?"

Carla forced herself to giggle. "Yes silly. You should come, we can get to know each other."

Paige glanced at John, unsure what to say. She sure as hell did not want to be a third wheel on their date. John shrugged at her, telling her why not? "Uh…sure, I guess." She said, still unsure.

"Great!" She said. "How about we make it a little double date type thing. You can invite someone."

Paige pursed her lips. "Well, I don't really know anyone but John and his friends."

"Well invite one of them, I'm sure any of them would jump at the chance to go on a date with you." Carla said.

Paige looked skeptical. "I don't know, I would just…I'll pass on tonight. You two have a good night." She said, starting to walk away.

"No!" Carla yelled, causing her to turn around. "I'll just invite Randy, it will be a little assistant, client thing."

"Oh? You're Randy's assistant?" Paige asked. Randy had never mentioned that. Carla nodded. "Alright, well I'll see you two later then." She said before walking away.

Paige knocked on Randy's locker room door. He opened it a moment later, smiling when he saw her and let her come inside. He greeted her with a kiss and she smiled. "How was your promo?" She asked, leading him to sit next to her on the bench.

"It was good, as always. What have you been up to?" He asked, wrapping his hand around hers.

"I have been looking for John all night. Just found him, with Carla." She said, looking at him as he nodded. "So, she's your assistant?"

Randy cringed and nodded. "Unfortunately."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know. It's not something I brag about. Plus when you found out about her and John I didn't want to say anything else to upset you." He said and she nodded in understanding.

"Well, if you don't like her, why do you stick with her?" She asked curiously.

He shrugged. "She's good at what she does. I had a couple other personal assistant's before her and they were just awful. When she came around, I was so taken with her work ethic, I decided to ignore her horrible personality and just stick with her. Who knows what kind of incompetent nut job I could get stuck with if I fire her." He explained. She nodded, she could get that. Good personal assistants were hard to find.

"Well, anyway, she invited us to go out to dinner with her and John."

Randy looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "When you say us…"

She laughed. "Oh, no, she doesn't know about us. She invited me and wanted me to invite someone so it could be a double date thing but I didn't want to so she just suggested you, as an assistant, client type thing." She explained.

He nodded but turned to her with a sly grin. "Ok, but if you had to choose your own date, you would have picked me right?"

She smiled seductively. "Who knows, Adam and I had a great day yesterday, I might have invited him."

Randy growled and attacked her neck with his mouth. "Take it back." He continued to assault her neck and then threatened to tickle her so she gave in.

"Ok, ok, I give! I would have taken you." She said, laughing.

"That's what I thought." He said was a smile, placing a peck on her lips. Paige got serious all of a sudden and he noticed. "What's up?" He asked referring to her sudden change of mood, running a hand through her hair.

"Well, I've been thinking lately," She paused and looked him in the eye. "I think we should tell John about us."

Randy tried to hold back his ecstatic smile. "You sure?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I was mad that he kept Carla from me, I feel like I'm a hypocrite keeping you from him."

Randy's smirk spread across his face. "Good, because I have been dying to tell him."

"You have?" She asked with a smile.

"Yes and I cannot wait to thank him for introducing me you."
