The woman's champion looked at her cousin dead in the eye. She was pissed beyond belief. Of all the stupid shit Mara's done in the past this has to be the stupidest! "What the hell are you thinking going around Randy like that?"
"Mickie… please spare me the lecture! I'm a big girl, I can handle myself!" The general manager flopped down on the couch.
"Randy's an asshole and he's going to break your heart! He broke mine!" Mickie tried to convince her cousin that Randy wasn't the guy for her. It wasn't because he was an asshole. The truth is He's actually a very sweet guy once you get under the badass/strike first –ask questions later appearance. Mickie loved her cousin, undoubtedly, but she was not about to get in the way of her and Randy being together forever!
Mara looked up at her cousin. "You and Randy used to go out?" Mara asked innocently.
The shorter yet older woman laughed, "Randy and I used to be inseparable. But it soon went South when Stacy came along" Mickie sat next to her cousin trying to make her words seem as truthful as possible.
"Stacy? His ex?" Mara looked at her cousin skeptically. Didn't he RKO her in the middle of the ring?
"Yupp. After they broke up, Randy and I started going out, and then she started making appearances backstage and I caught them… you know…" This is too easy!
"Oh Mickie… How come you never told me about this?"
"I didn't want to talk about it, it was too painful. After a couple months we got back together… then that airhead Ashley came into the business. I mean, the girl couldn't even throw a punch right… She was like a plank of wood." The champion gritted her teeth at the thought of the former playboy cover girl.
Mara knew the exact reason Mickie despised Ashley. It was because she sort of stole Trish away from her. To be honest, Mara was more of a Lita fan, but Mickie was Mickie, bisexual and dangerous! "Mickie" Mara said snapping the woman back to reality, "What happened with Ashley?"
"
"Oh right… Well, I noticed that she was being really friendly with him, and one night, she pushed herself on him and he didn't resist." She ran a hand through her hair as finished up her story with Ashley. "So Mara, please don't go around Randy, he's dangerous, he doesn't care about anyone but himself."
"Mickie, I know I just met him in person and everything, but when I kiss this guy it's like I'm in a whole other universe - his universe, where no one exists but us two." Mara confessed with Stars in her eyes. She was never one to believe in love at first sight, or in this case first kiss but it was happening, but damn Mickie could crush someone's fantasy world.
Mickie sat next to her feeling as if should throw up. She hated when Mara went into the fairytale love shit, when would she realize that it didn't exist? No man is going to ride up on some horse and slay her dragon to set her free; things don't work that way in the real world. Mickie stood up. "I'm going to the hotel… I'll see you later"
Mara looked up at the monitor mounted on the wall of her office, how ironic the camera was on him.
Mickie looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, she was pissed. She never thought of Mara ever being into guys like Randy…guys in general. And just what the hell did Randy see in her anyway? There was a talented, big breasted woman with all the curves in the right places willing to give him everything and he's chasing after that dweeb! It's gross! Mara was Mickie's favorite cousin, was, and she was pretty and all but she didn't hold a candle to the tanned Virginia native.
They were at the hotel, she so didn't want to share a room with that…bitch right now but she had to…she's family! She's heard the hotel room door open and close signaling Mara just came back from RAW. She walked over to her cousin and sat on the bed.
"Hey…"
"I don't wanna talk right now." She pushed her face into a pillow
"What happened?"
"I just had a huge fight with Randy just now."
Mickie smiled an evil one. "Aw, really?"
"Yea... you're right he is a jackass!"
"What did he tell you?" Mickie tilted her head to the side as if she cared.
Mara sniffed and sat up on the bed. "He said that you're lying, and that you're a crazy bitch...then I slapped him and walked away."
Mickie's lips twitched a bit. Randy called her a crazy bitch… Ahh, what the hell… she's heard worse, so she still loved him!
"Maybe it's best if you two just stayed away from each other Mara"
The smaller woman looked up at her cousin and hugged her. "Thanks for being there for me Mickie."
"That's what family's for, now quit sulking and come clubbing with me!"
"I don't know… I've got to finalize the matches for smack down tomorrow."
"You could do that in the morning… quit being a buzz kill." Mickie frowned.
Mara couldn't help but give in. "Oh alright… maybe just one hour…but then we come right back!"
Xoxo
Randy was in the car with Cena, Kofi and Evan. He explained what happened with Mara just about a half hour ago.
"So… you really cheated on Mickie with Ashley and Stacy?" Evan asked popping the gum in his mouth.
Randy sighed and shook his head not wanting to explain the scenario to the younger man again.
"No man… he just said it. He never cheated on Mickie, She's the one who did the two timing." Kofi said to the high flyer.
"I'm not shocked, I've been with Mickie she's … crazy. And not the good kind." John said, not taking his eyes off the wheel. "So, how are you going to convince Mara that you didn't do any of that?"
"I don't know... she won't even talk to me. She won't answer my phone calls, texts… nothing."
"Ohh you are in trouble… I guess you really like her if you want to talk some sense into her so much." Kofi sat back and folded his arms.
"Yea." Randy sighed. " I guess I do, but we can't be public… The board of directors would fire her in the blink of an eye."
"Bummer," Evan frowned. "Don't worry, we won't tell."
"I didn't expect you to." Randy slightly glared at the shorter guy in the rearview mirror.
Xoxo
No Way Out
Mickie rolled up AJ once more only for the much smaller woman to kick out…again. It was frustrating! AJ was so small, why can't she just take her beating and leave the title where it belonged? Grabbing AJ by the hair she pushed her to the ropes, only to have the woman hold on to the ropes to prevent her from coming back. Unfortunately for Mickie, she didn't notice as AJ ran up to her with a solid kick to the forehead, then one to the gut, making her fall to her knees. AJ ran back to the ropes to gain momentum and came back at Mickie with a Shining Wizard. She immediately went for the pin.
"1…2...3"
The new woman's champion held her hands up in the air in victory. "Here's your winner….and the new Woman's champion… AJ!"
Mickie looked at the woman with mixed emotions. Most of them being disgust, anger and disappointment. Disappointment… in herself, for being beaten by some…over grown kid! Mickie stood up and watched the woman as she celebrated in the ring. AJ went up on the top rope showing of her new title it wasn't long before she came tumbling down as Mickie pushed her off the edge. "It's mine! Enjoy it while it lasts!" Were the losing woman's last words before exiting the ring in pure white-hot anger.
After dealing with a sour Mickie James the General Manager sat in her office and watched as Randy was clearly dominating the WH Champion, Christian in their title match.
Don't interfere Mara! She watched as Randy gave Christian an RKO near the edge of the ring.
Be a fair GM Mara! Randy went for the pin, one…two…three, the bell rang and Randy's hand was lifted in victory. However, Christian's feet were on the ropes.
Mara got up and exited her office. She wasn't going to stand for that… not at all. Grabbing a microphone from the tech table, she went waited for her music to cut through Randy's before exiting out to the stage.
"Hold the celebration Orton!" She had a serious look on her face as she turned her eyes from a confused Viper to the referee," , clearly you aren't doing your job correctly tonight. If you look to your left you'll notice that Christian's foot is still on the ropes!" She chuckled as the crowd booed her. " So therefore no one as one yet. This match will continue. Ring the bell!" She stood in the middle of the ramp watching as Christian immediately got up and gave Randy the Kill Switch. The bastard deserves it!
As Christian's theme cut through the noise of the unpleased crowd, she kept her eyes on Randy who only stared back at her in disbelief. Giving him one last knowing look, she walked backstage satisfied with the job she had just done.

The PPV was over. The fans were gone, the ring was taken down, the tron was dissembled and the superstars were going home. Everyone thanked the crewmembers for another successful show as they did every night. But Mara was still at her desk, going through the paperwork for RAW. It made no sense going to sleep now as she had a flight in just a few hours. Her suitcase was in Mickie's truck and so all she really had to do was check out of the hotel she didn't sleep in.
The door opened and a crew member came in. "Miss, Would you like us to take off the light in this hallway?"
Mara looked up at the man and smiled. " Um, no I'll be here for another few hours, leave it on thank you." She went back to her papers as the crew members left. Her office wasn't even an office anymore. It was just her, her briefcast and the papers spread around her. Boy its hard running two shows.
Randy sat in the parking lot. He watched everyone go back to their hotel to wash up for their flight. He should probably go too, but what the hell, there were showers in the arena and the airport was only a cab away and John had his bags so it wasn't much of a hustle.
As the cars filed out of the parking lot, he noticed one truck that hadn't moved . it was Mickie's. He didn't want to, but he had to talk to her about Mara. Why would she do that? Was she just that evil? He stood up and headed right back inside. He was going to tell Mickie everything. He didn't appreciate her messing with his relationships in effort to get him back… He's never going to take her back, and she needs to know that!
