"Ashley in about two seconds I'm joining you in there" Randy banged on the bathroom door.
Michael Jackson's Thriller was blaring from within and Randy was getting more and more impatient with every passing second. He was amazed at how conceded Ashley could be. She knew other people would need to take a shower and here she was in there for well over 45 minutes. Finally he had enough he wanted to exact revenge and what better revenge could be then not only flushing the toilet on his selfish best friend but ripping back the curtain to see her face as the water temperature changed to a new uncomfortable level. Smirking to himself he tiptoed into the bathroom and quietly made his way over to the white porcelain toilet. Gripping the cool metal handle he brought it down and a loud flush could be heard mixing with the soulful notes coming from the radio. He heard a yelp and without thinking twice he ripped back the light blue shower curtains to reveal not Ashley but some stranger. Randy's face immediately turned crimson. The young woman tried desperately to cover herself but Randy had seen everything. She was about 5'7 with ebony locks that reached the middle of her back. Her skin was the color of sweet chocolate and she had the longest legs randy had ever seen. He stood there too flabbergasted to do anything else but stand there with his eyes popping out of his skull.
"Is this how all you Americans introduce yourselves?" she asked her crisp British accent shining through "well don't just stand there like a prat hand me that towel"
With his mouth still agape he did as he was told and handed her the towel which was resting nicely upon the white marble countertop next to the sink. She wrapped the soft yellow terrycloth towel around her slender body before returning her gaze upon him. Her dark brown eyes were fixed into a glare and Randy nervously swallowed.
"I ... I'm so sorry I thought you were Ashley" he tried to explain.
"Why would you want to see my cousin naked?" she gave him an accusing glance.
"I swear it's not what you think"
"How could you possibly know what I am thinking right now?" she asked.
"ASHLEY" Randy yelled.
Ashley appeared a few minutes later sporting a confused look. Faith was in her arms and she too wore a curious look as she stared at her Uncle Randy.
"What's going on?" Ashley asked.
"He ..." the woman who claimed to be Ashley's cousin pointed her finger towards Randy "thought I was you and decided to get a free show while I was in the shower"
Ashley didn't even bother to hide her laughter. "Oh Randal you are such an ass"
"You could have told me we had a house guest" Randy remarked annoyed.
"I thought John would have told you that my cousin Dommy was coming to stay with us for a week or so until her apartment downtown is ready"
"So how are you two related ... what I mean to say is ..." Ashley cut him off.
"What are you trying to say Randal" Ashley eyed him dangerously.
"Well I mean you are so fair skinned and your cousin isn't"
"What's the matter Randy you never heard of Black Irish" Domonique decided to join in the fun.
"Wait a minute you are black??" Ashley pretended to be shocked.
"See now look what you did you let out the deep dark family secret" she emphasized the word dark to be funny.
"I still can't believe you never told me" Ashley shook her head in shame.
"It's ok honey Dommy will make it better as soon as she gets dressed" she told her older cousin in a tone that a parent would use when talking to a child who needed to be cheered up.
Then she left Ashley and Randy to stare at each other. Ashley stood smirking and if Faith had not been in her arms they would have been crossed.
"I don't want to talk about this" was all he said before he too walked out pf the bathroom.
"You know Faithy sometimes life is just too comedic" she laughed
Faith tipped her head a little so she could look at her mother. She gave her a toothless grin and began to kick her legs a little in excitement. Her fingers went to her mouth and she began to gum them happily.
"I don't understand how you can take pleasure in chewing your own fingers but that's just me"
She too left the bathroom making sure to shut it tightly behind her so there was less of a chance that a certain toddler would go in there and get into her makeup as he had done many times in the past.
"Mama I pwetty" he would always say turning around to show her his lipstick and blush covered face. She did admit in the past she had taken a couple of pictures of him like that and sent them to John just to get him a little annoyed because no man wants their son to wear make up in any form especially men like John Cena. Although he was ok with people being able to choose their own sexual preference he preferred that his own son was straight. Not that wearing make up necessarily made someone gay he'd just rather not take his chances.
Randy met up with John in the hallway.
"Dude you didn't tell me Ashley had a hot cousin" Randy punched John hard in the arm.
"Damn man that hurt … the last time I saw Domonique she was like 17 with braces and big ass glasses so trust me I was just as surprised as you were at the hottie I picked up from the airport" John defended himself.
"Why do you ask?"
"Cause I just got an eyeful of Ashley's very naked cousin" John grinned in amusement.
"Did you like it?" he asked.
"Dude shut up" Randy retorted.
"Come on man how long has it been since you've had sex? It has to be at least 2 months ago"
"Why do I even bother telling you things" Randy threw up his hands in frustration before hitting John in the shoulder again.
"Fuck man that was in the exact same spot" John winced rotating his injured arm around.
Ashley walked by them but Randy wrapped his arm around her shoulder holding her there.
"How could you not tell me you had a hot cousin"
"Gee I dunno maybe cause I am a female who doesn't find other females attractive … especially ones I'm related to"
"Well you've been holding out on me"
"I'm so sorry" she rolled her eyes removing his hand from her shoulder "now if you excuse me I have things to do"
Later that day …
"Hey guys have you seen John?" Ashley asked Domonique and Fabo giving them a rather confused look that also sported a hint of annoyance.
"Haven't seen him since breakfast" Fabo replied from his spot on the navy blue carpet where he was teaching Dean how to play checkers.
"Me either"
Ashley frowned a little bit "John promised the kids that we would all go to the zoo as a family and now I can't find him"
"Go ask Randy maybe he has seen him"
"Lord knows that man has seen enough today" Dominique winked at her cousin.
"Yeah maybe" Ashley left to go find Randy.
She pocked her head into his room. The third generation superstar was lying on his stomach with a notepad in from of him. He was humming to himself while writing. He swore under his breath as he erased something.
"Rans whatcha doin?" Ashley asked.
"Nothing" he looked up from the notepad "Can I help you with something?"
"Yeah I can't find John have you seen him?" she asked.
"In the office" he said returning his attention to what he was working on.
"Nice talkin to ya Orton" she mumbled to herself before heading to the office.
"John" she knocked before entering the comfortably furnished room with the mahogany desk and tall backed leather chair. Upon the desk sat the flat screen monitor for John's incredibly amazing Alienwear computer.
"You ready to go?" she asked him.
"Where?" he asked looking up from his own notepad. He wouldn't meet her eyes directly in fear that he would accidentally ruin his own surprise.
"You promised the kids that we would go to the zoo as a family" she reminded him.
"Umm … I can't go" he shifted uncomfortably in his chair still not looking at her.
"But you promised them"
"Look I'm busy so leave me alone" it came out a little rougher than he would have wanted it but he needed to get her to leave before he revealed his secret to her because everyone knew he had a very hard time keeping secrets from her.
"Whatever" she turned and left the room.
She was completely pissed and all she knew was if John Cena kept this new mindset of getting their children's hope up and then being rude to her she was going to hurt him … badly.
