It had been a little over two weeks since Randy 'walked in' on Alexa and Drew. Drew went back on the road the next day and Alexa stayed home. The two texted each other and talked on the phone occasionally but they decided to keep things friendly. Alexa hadn't heard one word from Randy, and whenever she asked her dad about him he would say that he keeps to himself and doesn't really talk to anyone about anything unless it is work related.
As Alexa walked through the doors of the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina she smiled, she knew she had problems to deal with but she was happy to be back.
"Hey Lex," she heard someone say from behind her.
As she turned around she saw John Cena walking towards her. "Hey," she smiled. She and John used to be close; they fell apart when all the drama between Randy and Drew started. She had been so distracted with the situation that she let a lot of her friendships fall apart.
"It's been forever since we talked, how are things?"
"Things are okay," Alexa smiled.
"Are they really? I've been hearing things around the locker room," John said.
Alexa sighed, "There's been a bit of drama between Randy, Drew, and myself. I took two weeks away from here so that I could forget about it and I have, now I'm back to have some drama-free fun."
"Okay, okay," John smiled. "Well how about you and I go out tonight for your first night of drama-free fun."
"That sounds great; I can't be out too late though because I have to meet up with my dad for breakfast tomorrow morning."
John smiled, "Don't worry; I won't keep you out that late."
Alexa smiled, "Well the show ends at eleven and I need time to get back to the hotel and get ready so, pick me up around twelve thirty?"
"Sounds good," John smiled. "I'll see you at twelve thirty."
Alexa smiled and shook her head before continuing in the direction she was headed in. Alexa pushed open the door to her father's locker room; seeing it was empty she set her bags down on the couch and pulling her phone out of one of the pockets. She stuffed her phone in the back pocket of her jeans before heading back out to walk around.
It was now ten thirty and RAW would be ending soon, Alexa was heading back to her dad's locker room to get her bags so she could head back to the hotel to get ready for her night out.
As she walked into her dad's locker room she saw the one person she had been avoiding all night sitting on the couch.
Randy looked in the direction of the door as he heard it open and close behind someone, he didn't expect to see her standing there.
Alexa thought about saying something but she remembered this time on the road was for drama-free fun so she decided against speaking to him and grabbed her bags.
"We're not going to even talk about what happened?" Alexa heard him say as she turned to walk back out of the locker room.
"I don't think now is the time," she said, turning around. "I have to go meet up with a friend."
"Who? Drew? It's funny how you two are still referring to yourselves as friends," he said. "Fucking each other makes you two more than friends."
Alexa took a deep breath, holding back and rude remarks she wanted to say to Randy at the time, "It's not Drew," she simply replied.
"Oh, you just jump from man to man so fast," he said. "You went right from Drew to me, then me to Drew, and now Drew to some new man."
Alexa took another deep breath, the more this man spoke the harder it got for her to maintain her composure. Alexa shook her head, "It's not like that. I'm going to head out now, tell my dad I'll see him at breakfast tomorrow." Alexa quickly left the locker room before Randy had the chance to say anything else.
Alexa stood in the lobby waiting for John; she was wearing a pair of light blue jeans, a plain baby pink t-shirt with a white leather jacket over it, and white flats; her and John weren't on a date so there was no reason for her to dress up.
"Hey," she heard from behind her.
"Hey," she smiled.
"So, I figured since it's so late we can just go down to the little diner I saw outside of town," he suggested.
"Sounds good to me," she smiled as the two walked out to John's rental car.
The drive to the diner was silent, but it was a content silence. John pulled into the parking lot and parked the car; the two got out of the car and made their way into the diner. The waitress took their drink and food orders about ten minutes after they were seated.
"So," John started. "I've been wanting to ask you this but I wasn't sure what your reaction would be," John paused and looked up at Alexa. "What's going on with you Randy and Drew?"
Alexa sighed, "Drew and I were never supposed to be together, but we ended up dating each other. My dad gave him an ultimatum and he accepted it. I left him and ended up getting with Randy, Randy cheated on me so I left him. Drew showed up and my house and we slept together and Randy came over and pretty much figured out what we were doing and now he's mad at me and Drew and I don't really talk much."
"Wow," John said as the waitress set their food down in front of them.
"Now I'm here with to have fun, like I did before I started having feelings for either of them."
"So, your feelings for the two are gone?"
Alexa shook her head, "Not at all, I just don't feel like dealing with the drama. With Drew it's all about apologizing, that's all he does anymore. With Randy it's all about partying, we never spend any real time together. I know I'm going to end up with one of them, it's just a matter of which one changes first."
"Which one do you hope it is?"
Alexa took a deep breath, "I honestly don't know."
"If you want my opinion I think you should go with Randy," John said.
Alexa smiled, "Did he send you on this dinner with me so you could put in a good word?"
John laughed, "No, actually Randy hasn't said anything about why the two of you are on bad terms. I just know how he feels about you. He's liked you for awhile and him cheating on you was probably to cover up some problem he was having at the time. All he's been doing since you've been gone is getting drunk and showing up at people's hotel rooms talking about you."
Alexa sighed, "And why shouldn't I pick Drew?"
"He's been married before, and he's got a girlfriend now so I'm sure he's not even an option anymore."
"Oh," Alexa was taken aback; Drew hadn't said anything about having a girlfriend. "You met her?"
"Yeah, at a party about a week ago. He introduced her, said her name was Morgan or something."
Alexa put on a fake smile, "Well that's good for him. I'm done here, you ready to head out?"
"Yeah," John stood up and put the money on the table to pay the check. "I didn't mean to upset you, I really thought you knew about Drew," John said as the two got in the car.
"Nope, but I guess it's good that you told me," Alexa said. "Thank you John, it was nice to get out and talk…even though the topic was Drew and Randy. I needed someone else's advice on it."
"You're very welcome," John drove back to the hotel and pulled up to valet, handing the guy the keys. "I'll see you in the next town," John smiled.
"Yes you will," Alexa said. "We need to hang out more."
"Yes we do," John said.
"Good night John," Alexa said.
"Good night," John hugged Alexa made his way to the elevator that would take him to his floor.
As Alexa got on the elevator she pulled out her phone, 'Thanks for telling me about your girlfriend. The secrets never stop.' Alexa got off the elevator and walked to her room; she slipped her room key in the slot and opened her door. Tossing her phone and purse on the bed Alexa made her way over to her suitcase and grabbed some clothes for bed and put them on. As she climbed in bed she saw the light in the corner of her Blackberry blinking, signaling a received text message.
'How'd you find out?' she read.
'So it is true.' She responded.
'Can we talk about this in person?'
Alexa sighed as she answered, 'It's 2 a.m. you should stay with her.' Alexa plugged her phone into the charger and put her phone on the night stand before rolling over and going to sleep.
About two hours later Alexa heard a knock on her door, she slowly got out of bed still half asleep and walked over to the door. Looking through the peephole she saw Drew standing there, she sighed before opening the door.
"You weren't answering my text messages," he said. "Can I come in?"
"It's four in the morning Drew; this can wait till another time."
"Just hear me out and then I'll leave," he said. "Please."
Alexa sighed and opened the door a little wider, letting Drew in. Alexa took a seat on the edge of the bed as Drew stood in front of her.
"Who told you about Morgan and me?"
"Drew, you came here to explain, not question me."
Drew sighed, "Right, I met her a few weeks ago at a bar; I took her back to my hotel room and had sex with her. That was all she was supposed to be but we went out to breakfast the next morning and got to talking and I started liking her. We continued to talk on the phone and text when I left town and then one week I had her fly out to where I was so she could come on the road with me for a while. I like her, a lot."
"Then why wouldn't you tell me? You can't have a girlfriend and still say the things you say to me," Alexa asked as she stood up.
"Because I'm still in love with you, yeah I like Morgan and all but she's not you."
"No, she's not and she never will be," Alexa said as she walked over to the door and opened it. "You can leave now."
"You two are together again," Alexa heard a very drunk Randy say. She saw him holding himself up by the doorframe and walked over to help him stand straight. She helped him to the couch and sat him down on it.
"Why are you still here?" she said to Drew as she turned around.
"Oh so now you want to be alone with him?"
"Doesn't matter who I want to be alone with Drew, you have a girlfriend to go be with."
Drew shook his head and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Alexa took a few deep breaths before turning to the next problem she had to deal with. As she looked down at the couch she saw Randy passed out. She placed a few things on the table with a note next to them before grabbing an extra blanket and covering Randy up before climbing back into her bed and grabbing her phone. Alexa deleted all the missed texts from drew without even reading them.
'Stephanie and I are just getting back to our hotel room. Instead of breakfast tomorrow we'll do dinner. I love you baby girl. –dad.'
Alexa smiled and replied to her dad, 'That's good because I've had quite the eventful night. Tell you about it at dinner. I love you too.'
Alexa put her phone back on the nightstand and rolled over and fell asleep.
The next morning, Randy slowly opened his eyes, letting them adjust to the light; the pounding headache he had didn't help at all. As he sat up on the couch he looked around, wondering whose hotel room he had ended up in this time, he looked down at the table and saw some Tylenol, a glass of water, a chocolate cupcake, and a note. He knew where he was before he even read the note.
-Tylenol. Chocolate cupcake. Water. Cures any hangover, remember?
-Alexa
Randy smiled at the note; those three things were what he and Alexa would use every morning after a long night of partying. They never really cured the hangover even though Alexa swore it did. Randy picked up the Tylenol and out them in his mouth, washing them down with the water. Randy looked over at the bed and saw Alexa sleeping peacefully, he stared at her for a few minutes smiling before a knock at the door broke him from his trance. He quickly got up, not wanting the visitor to wake Alexa; Randy opened the door and saw Drew standing there, a dozen roses in his hand.
