Recap: Randy competed in his match at Vengeance but came up short as John managed to keep his championship

Ready To Go

With the match over, all the competitors started to head to the back to head back to the hotel. I managed to hobble to my locker room, after stopping at the trainer's room for some ice for my neck. After I put my track pants on, I sat down on the bench to put my shoes on. There was a knock on the door and I said for whoever it was to come in, without even thinking about it. I felt someone clap me on the back so I turned to see John standing behind me with his championship draped over his shoulder. "Hey, Randy."

"Hey, John. Congrats on the win."

"Thanks. Bittersweet though."

"Why?"

"You're my friend and I want us both to be successful but that won't happen if we're on the same brand and I'm the champ."

"Don't sweat it, John. My day will come."

"Too right. I'll catch you later."

"Got a date?"

"Nope. I'm just worn out. Gonna hit the hay. Take care, Randy."

"You too, John." He waved and left my locker room, leaving the door open. I stood up to put my t-shirt on but before I could, someone shoved me across the room.

"You son of a bitch!" I went to look at who it was that shoved me but I met a fist instead. That kind of punch didn't belong to a man and sure enough, Ashley was standing there with an angry look on her face.

"What the hell, Ashley?"

"You punted him in the head, you ass!" She hit me again but I didn't dare hit her back. I knew she'd be upset about the punt so I was going to let her take that anger out on me. Sure enough, she started to rain down the hits on me but her intensity stopped and I could hear her sobs. I stood up and as her hits weren't dangerous at all, I wrapped my arms around her and let her cry into my chest. "Why did you have to do that, Randy?"

"I'm sorry, Ash."

"He's already got a concussion. Why did you make it worse?" I could feel her legs get weak so I led her over to the bench and sat her down on it.

"Ash, you know this is business. You both should know that this is just business and that I don't mean to hurt anyone." Ashley looked up at me and slapped me.

"I know that it's business but it still sucks. Not to mention my dad has that inane ability to never know when to stop. That's enough to make me crazy." Ashley wiped the tears off her face and I kissed her temple as I brought her in close.

"He's family. They're supposed to make you crazy." Ashley laughed and I smiled. "I'm about to head back to the hotel. What are you going to do tonight?"

"I have no idea. Dad will probably hit the bed and sleep like a log, which will leave me bored beyond belief. Once he's out, I'll stop by your room. You don't know how much I've missed sleeping next to you."

"It's only been two days, Ash."

"Two days too long, Randy." The two of us heard footsteps and broke apart, if it was someone we didn't want to see us. Mick poked his head in and gave me a look.

"Ashley. I was looking for you. Why are you in here?"

"Just talking to Randy, Dad. You ready to go?"

"Yeah. That was a good match, Randy."

"Thanks, Mick. I hope you know that this is just business. I don't want you to be hurt on purpose."

"I know, Randy. Let's go, Ash."

"Be there in a second." Ashley stood up but leaned in closer to my ear. "I'll give you a call later, Oreo." Her lips barely touched my ear as she left to meet up with Mick. "Later, Randy."

"Bye you guys." I sighed and stood up to put my shirt on again. I grabbed my bag, made sure I had everything and headed out to my car. I drove back to the hotel, parked in the garage and headed towards my room. Once I was in my room, I threw my bag by my bed and headed for the shower. I turned on the hot water and once it was hot enough, I stepped into the stall. Ten minutes later, I got out feeling clean and looking to shave when I heard my phone go off. I wrapped a towel around my waist and grabbed my phone that was on my bed. "Hello?"

"Hey, Oreo."

"Hey, Ash."

"Busy?"

"No."

"Good. Answer the door."

"Uh, sure." I walked over to the door, held the towel together with one hand, wedged my phone in between my head and shoulder and answered the door. "Hi, Ashley." I watched Ashley's eyes travel up and down my body as she bit her lip. "Would you like to come in?" She nodded slowly so I moved to let her in, shutting the door behind her. "Something up, Ash?"

"Not really. Just wanted to see you, is all."

"Oh. Where did you tell your dad that you were going?"

"To meet up with a friend and that I most likely won't be back till the morning." I watched Ashley turn around and just her standing there was a turn on for me. I could feel myself getting harder the longer I looked at Ashley, which made her eyes drift towards the growing tent behind the towel. I glanced down, following her eye line and I smirked. She returned with a smirk of her own and I watched her drop a bag next to my bed. "Something's got you all excited, Randy."

"Have you ever seen yourself in a mirror?" Ashley chuckled and I watched her strip off her leather jacket. She draped it over a chair and began to close the gap between us.

"Is that so?"

"You bet."

"What are we going to do about that, then?"

"Let me show you." When she was close enough, I pulled Ashley in by her waist and gave her deep kiss.
