Chapter 5 A friendly game of pool

Raven's POV

John and I grabbed a beer each and headed straight to the pool table in one of the rooms, I was glad to be away from Wade Barrett and in the company of a friend. I was more glad to be away from my thoughts, I don't know why but the entire time I was driving with Wade I somehow felt tratiorous towards Randy, like I shouldn't be doing it. It was the same when I was in the ring with him. I couldn't explain the guilt I suddenly had but do you think my brain would shut up and stop trying to figure it out? No, it just kept agonising over it and now I have a massive headache. Thank you very much Randy, this is all your fault.

"Are you alright?" John asked as I took a shot, I missed every single ball on the table.

"Yeah headache"

"And drinking will cure that?"

"Shut it, I'm allowed one so that's what I'll be having"

"Well I learnt a long time ago that there is no telling you what to do" John laughed taking a shot and sinking a ball. "You know I was having a very interesting conversation today"

"How incredibly thrilling for you Cena"

John took a long gulp of his beer, ignoring my sarcasm. "You know he likes you"

"Who?"

"Your best friend" John flashed me that annoying sarcastic grin. I turned around and saw Wade getting out of the elevator.

"Eww that is disgusting. That has got to be the most disgusting thing that has ever come outta your mouth Cena and you've said some pretty disgusting things John, mainly including my sister but still this is worse"

John looked at me hurt and confused "How is that disgusting?"

"Think about what you just said"

"So he likes you, he's liked you since day one. You can't tell me that you've never seen it before"

"There is no way in hell I would ever reduce myself to that thing because I have standards and he doesn't reach them"

"That's so fucking nice" John spat at me slamming his beer down, it bubbled at the sudden movement spilling slightly to the floor.

"Why are you getting so upset? You don't even like him why would you care about his feelings?"

"He's been my friend for over ten years Raven, of course I care about his feelings"

I instantly froze, "I was talking about Wade Barrett"

John instantly relaxed "I was talking about Randy you fool"

"I must say a little relieved right now"

"You know you two have been dancing around the subject for about ten years now" John started

"No"

"I don't get that, you two obviously like each other. You guys are perfect for each other"

"I can't do it"

"Why?"

"The same reason I rejected you when you asked me out all those years ago John. We are friends and that's it. I don't wanna lose either of you because whether or not I show it, you two have come to be pretty fucking important to me"

"Thats the only reason?" John pressed the matter, he always did.

"Yes, he is my friend and thats all he will ever be"

"Alright if you say so"

I was lying to myself but that was ok, lying to myself was alright because it was only hurting me. I was used to that by now.

Randy's POV

My heart thumped in my chest as I made my way back up to my room. Oh yes I had over heard the conversation alright, neither John nor Raven knew I was there. I pushed the door open before slamming it shut. Maybe she was right and I had to let go, I wasn't gonna have her and I had to stop thinking I could. The loud vibrations on the wooden desk gave me such a fright, Raven would of pissed herself laughing at how I jumped. Laughing at myself slightly I picked it up, for the first time in ten years I was hoping it wasn't Raven, someone must of been listening to me because it was only Sam.

Hey! how r u? Thought I would tell you Ally haz sum recital thingy nxt week, want me to record 4 u?

yes plz, how is billy?

lol dead I killed him

plz dont mention murder...

r u ok?

nt realy

wanna talk?

nah but thanx

To some people it might of been weird talking (or texting rather) to your ex, but we ended on good terms (meaning there was no bad blood) so why couldn't we be nice to each other. Raven has my heart and Sam has my daughter, now that's fucked up logic that only Raven would appreciate.

r u sure?

yeah jst came 2 da conclusion tht i can't hav wat i want

Y?

it doesnt want me

lol wel if any1 could change a mind its you Randy

mayB i should just quit

lmao U? quit? those words cant b used in da same sentence & u kno it.

now i feel better thanx sam, as always you've been a big help

ur welcome hun

She didn't get my sarcasm which was possibly a good thing because she could very well use my daughter as a bargining chip. Somehow I don't think Sam would do that but then again I never thought she would leave me either.

Ran u r a very sweet, kind generous man who might I add is still very delicious (compliment only) and one day Raven will see that, u hav 2 give her time to see it.

I had to admit Sam had a point about alot of things and she was right I wasn't about to quit. I had waited ten years for Raven I could wait a little longer if needed. I crawled into bed ready for that nights round of erotic dreams about Raven and me. Sadly tonight that would be the highlight of my entire fucking day.
