How Taking Down Legacy Failed
Mickie's P.O.V
"You know Cody is coming tonight, right?" I told Becky whilst I applied a layer of lip gloss. Tonight we were all going to a club, we hadn't gone for a long time and honestly we started to feel old!
"Yep"
"Have you spoken to him recently?"
"Nope"
"So is that short dress for his sake?"
"Yep" She then grinned at me. "Is that dress for" She paused to shudder. "My brother's sake?"
"Maybe" I replied turning back to the mirror. "The last time I went to a club, me and Cody had a fight"
"Really?" Her ears perked up at the sound of his name. "Why?"
"We weren't exactly friends then" I told her. "It's weird to think how we once hated each and how much I loved to annoy him…well I still love to annoy him, but we don't hate each other"
"Yeah, it's weird how things turn out"
"Are you ready to go?" I asked her, she nodded; I took one final check in the mirror before we left to find the guys. We met them in the corridor, Ted let out a low whistle. I saw Cody look at Becky, head to toe and Randy did the same thing with me.
"You look…" He started off.
"Hot" Ted finished his sentence. I giggled at the two of them. Randy wrapped his arm around me and I linked my other arm with Ted's. It felt so weird walking into a club again, it had really been so long, I wonder why we all stopped.
"Now Becky, I want you to stick with one of us at all times" Randy told Becky sternly, she looked like she was about to kill him. I snickered. "That goes for you too chuckles" Randy said pointing at me.
"Owned" Ted mumbled into my ear.
"Dammit" I grinned at him. "What's the plan for tonight Teddy bear!"
"Well I don't know about you, but I want to get completely wasted and wake up in some hot chicks bed" I looked at him, was he being serious or…"Relax baby, I'm kidding…I think" A girl walked past Ted and made eye contact with him, he looked her up and done and didn't make it subtle, it was like he wanted her to know, she giggled and kept walking. He tugged on his shirt "I still got it"
We took a sit, Randy and Ted got the first round of drinks. "Wow this place is crowded!" Ted pointed out, I looked around and nodded in agreement. "What would you do if I just suddenly fainted?"
"I would tell you to stop creating a scene" I replied to him trying not to love.
"In case your not aware, your so lovely"
"Oh, don't worry, I'm super aware"
The music suddenly stopped, we all looked over at the DJ who was holding up a quarter. "Whoever just threw that quarter at me, I'm going to use it to pay your mom later" He then put the music back on!
"We should come here often" Randy chuckled after hearing that.
"What is this?" Ted said picking up my drink, I grabbed it from him.
"My drink"
"I want to try it"
"Too bad"
"Randy tell her!"
"How about I distract her by dancing and you can steal her drink then?" Randy replied to Ted.
"Err fellas, I hate to ruin your plan, but I'm sitting right here" I raised my hand into the air.
"Would you like to dance?" Randy asked me.
"Sure!" I dragged him over to the dance floor and threw my arms around his neck. "Hey wait a minute…!" Randy just smirked at me, I looked over at Ted who was drinking my drink, he spotted that I was glaring at him, he flashed me a smile and waved at me, pointed to the drink and mimed it's good! "I hope your happy"
Randy slid his hands lower. "I am now" He smirked at me.
"I could easily spoil that for you"
"But you wouldn't, you love me too much"
We danced through four different songs before we went back to sit down. Ted had a blonde sitting on his lap, by the time we returned and my drink was all gone. Ted whispered something into the blonde's ear and she got off and walked away. "Turns out I don't need my lucky socks to get women"
"You have lucky socks?" I asked him resisting the urge to laugh.
"Had lucky socks, I lost them" He pulled a sad face at me.
"Have you checked under your bed?"
"No Mickie" He laughed at me. "There are monsters under there and I don't want to die" He said as if it's the most obvious thing. "What is she like" Ted said rhetorically to Randy, patting my head.
"Where's Becky?" I asked Randy ignoring what Ted had just said.
"I'm not sure, she said she was going off to meet a guy she met yesterday" Randy shrugged and put his arm around me.
"A guy?" Cody spoke up. "What guy?"
"I'm not sure, but I don't have to worry, I don't think it's serious"
I sent Cody a look to cool it down a bit. The next song that played was Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss. Ted looked at me excitedly and grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the dance floor. "It's our raving song!" He shouted at me over the music.
We danced madly until the song finished, we went back to sit down. Ted went back up, he was one hell of a drinker! Me and Randy sat down and spoke some more when Ted came rushing over and pointed to the dance floor. "What is that?" Randy sneered. I looked over to where he was looking, was that Becky with… John?
Becky's P.O.V
Ted was already practically drunk and was flirting with a girl (well, actually, it was a guy dressed as a girl but he hadn't noticed), and Mickie and Randy were dancing, leaving Cody and I sitting in an awkward silence.
"So-" He finally said.
"Don't."
"Why not?"
"Because you'll say something that makes me forgive you and I don't want to forgive you."
"Actually, I was going to ask if you wanted another drink."
However, he grinned nervously to show me that he was joking.
I just rolled my eyes, "Just shut up."
"Aw, come on, just hear-"
"I'm going to get another drink!" I told him loudly, getting to my feet and walking towards the bar.
I went round to the other side so that Cody and Ted were out of view; I didn't want to even look at the stupid idiot.
"Hey, Becky."
I glanced to see John squeezing past people to join me, "Hi." I greeted flatly. Even his hotness didn't affect me. Stupid Cody Rhodes…
"You okay? You seem a little… upset."
"I'm great." I insisted and looked at the bartended and ordered another. In all honesty, I didn't particularly like alcohol but it was good when you wanted to relax – or forget.
"If you're sure… want a drinking buddy?"
"Why not?" I muttered darkly.
John sat down on the stool next to me, ordered a drink and then smiled charmingly, "So, are you here with Mickie… and your brother?"
"Yeah." I narrowed my eyes, "Why are you so interested in them?"
"I'm not! Just making sure she's being cared of, you know, after the whole kidnapping ordeal…" He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, "What do you know about that?"
"That my brother's psychotic ex-wife kidnapped her," I shrugged, "Randy doesn't like talking about it. There was someone else involved but he was released without charge."
"Any idea who?"
I shook my head, "Nope."
"Ah." John glanced down at his drink, "You look good."
"Thanks. You don't look bad yourself." I said but my mind was straying back to earlier. Cody had been checking me out when he saw me… ah, yes, because he's a man with needs. That was why.
"You seem kind of… I don't know… are you sure you're okay?"
"I would just like to know," I said in a tired voice, "Why men are idiots when to comes women?"
"Because we have needs," John grinned to himself, "And those needs make us go a little crazy and do things that women see as idiotic."
That damn word again 'needs'.
"That's pathetic!"
"Maybe so," John considered it for a moment, his eyes briefly trailing to the dance floor, "maybe it is pathetic that we make bad choices but we'd do anything to get our women." His eyes then found mine, which were looking at him curiously, "Sometimes we'd even risk everything."
"What do you mean?" There was something in his voice that I didn't like.
John ran a hand over his face, "It's like… when you love someone and they pretend that they don't love you anymore – a guy would do anything to make sure that she came back to him. No matter what. No matter how many people it hurt because she always will be his."
I stared at him, "Are you talking about-"
"Want to dance?"
I blinked at the sudden change of atmosphere. A moment ago, it felt tense but now I remembered that I was in a club.
"Um… sure."
I didn't know why but his words a moment ago had… frightened me, I suppose. It was the way that his face went expressionless and his eyes went dark – the insanity had been clear in them. Suddenly, he didn't seem so hot anymore.
However, as we danced, I couldn't ignore the feeling in my stomach. That gut feeling that tells you something is wrong. It was like an alarm bell ringing through my body. GetAwayGetAwayGetAway. That natural instinct. That animal instinct.
John was creeping me out – even though he wasn't doing anything, except whispering a joke in my ear about a weird guy doing a bad robot dance next to us.
Suddenly, the guy stopped and glanced at me, then did a double-take.
I then noticed that it was Ted. Figures.
"Becky!" He yelled.
I turned to him with a frown, "Ted…"
"You!" Ted pointed in John's face, who was looking amused, he went to grab my arm but I moved it out of its grip, "Becky, get away from him!"
"What are you talking about, you freak?" I asked, reminding myself that Ted was drunk.
"You idiot!" He groaned and then spun around and rushed off.
I turned back to John with my arms crossed, "I think I'm going to see if he's okay… I guess I'll see you…" It was an excuse. I just needed to get away.
"Wait." John took a step closer to me, "Let's go somewhere a little more private? Or go and get another drink? Or maybe you need the-" He was speaking very quickly and grabbed my arm to pull me along. It wasn't the grasp of a drunken wrestler, like Ted. It was the grasp of an almost-sober, possibly insane wrestler.
"Let go of my arm." I said calmly.
"No, let's-"
Before he could finish, a voice spoke behind us.
"Let. Go. Of. My. Sister."
John glanced up and I used the distraction to yank my arm out of his grip. I turned around and did a double take when Randy and Mickie stood there, with Cody and Ted standing a little behind them. For a second, with all the lights and the music, it looked like a movie poster.
"Randy, Mickie, what a pleasure to see you two here." John said with a brazen grin.
Randy took a step forward, grabbed my arm and hurled me towards him. Please, what was with all the arm grabbing?
"I don't understand." I told him before he could open his mouth to say anything. I knew why I didn't like him but why didn't they?
"You know what happened a while ago?" Randy said in a careful voice, tying to keep his voice calm, he jerked his head at Mickie and I realized he was talking about the kidnapping, so I nodded. "Well, as you know, they released one guy without charge." His eyes lifted to John, "Even though he was guilty."
It took a moment for this to sink in but when it did, I wasn't actually surprised.
I shook my head slowly and laughed incredulously before glaring at John, "You used me to get to Mickie. You're right, you are pathetic."
Anger flashed across John's face and he took a step forward but Randy shoved me behind him and took a step towards him. You could practically smell the testosterone.
When Randy shoved me behind him, he didn't check his angle. So 'lucky' me got thrown into Cody's arms. He steadied me but didn't let go, despite how much I wriggled. Christ, four guys had done this to me in one night. I wasn't a baby! I was perfectly capable of waking on my own.
"You better back off from my girlfriend and my sister," Randy threatened, "You've had your fun, Cena, but its over now, understand?"
John just laughed bitterly and shook his head slowly, "Oh, Randy, of course its not." He turned to walk away but after a few steps, he turned back, as if just remembering something, "It'll never be over."
And with that, he disappeared into the crowd.
Mickie's P.O.V
I felt pathetic just standing there, I couldn't say anything, I couldn't move, I just stood there like an idiot. It was the first time I had properly come face to face with him since, sure I had seen him on TV, but never been this close. Why was he doing it? Was he starting things up again? Was he trying to screw Becky over too?
"Mickie, I'm so sorry" Becky said to me, I faked a smile for her, truth is, I just wanted to run away, go hide under my duvet.
"You know what Ted, screw it, I'm getting drunk with you"
"YEY!"
A few drinks later
"Babe, I know your angry and everything, I am too, but don't you think you've had enough?" Randy asked me, I shook my head and tripped as I followed Ted to the bar. "Can we get another beer please?" Ted slammed his money onto the counter and nearly fell over in the process which received a spill of giggles from us. I wasn't even drunk! I knew what I was doing! I was only tipsy! Ted was drunk, I was tipsy! He can't handle his drink like I can handle mine.
"Don't you think you guys have had enough?" The bartender asked us.
"Nope! Beer beer beer!"
"I'm going to have to cut you off" He told us, pushing Ted's money back to him.
"Oh dang, I don't have any ID" Ted complained going through his pockets.
" I don't think you understand I am cutting you off, no more drinks"
"Can't you just let us have a drink anyway?" I poked out my bottom lip.
"Sorry" The bartender turned away from us.
"I have an idea!" Ted said and grabbed my hand. We stayed away for ten minutes, then we came back. Ted held a finger above his upper lip. "Hey, I've got a moustache. Now can I have a beer?" Ted asked the bartender.
"No" He replied recognising Ted instantly.
"See, I told you that wouldn't work!" I whispered to Ted as we walked back to our seats. "I Mickie James, want a drink"
"I Theodore Marvin Dibiase Junior want a drink too"
"I Becky Orton want you two to shut the hell up"
"Hehe, I have a secret" Ted giggled to Becky who just rolled her eyes. "I'm going to get all Mickie's underwear and put it in the freezer compartment, because I think it'll be really funny"
"Ted" I whined. "I'm right here and I can hear you!"
"Mickie! Look beer!" A waiter came and put a drink on our table.
"You're my best mate, you are" Ted told him grinning, he just rolled his eyes and walked away.
"I thought I was your best friend" I pouted.
"I'm sorry, do you have beer?"
"Well, no" I replied.
"Didn't think so" Ted flicked his head to the side. I responded with a huff. "This song" Ted suddenly gasped again. "This was mine and Melina's song"
"Oh boy" Becky shook her head.
"M..M..Melina!" Ted then buried his head in Becky's lap. "Oh the pain comes flooding back!"
"You want to kill him, don't you?" I heard Randy ask Becky.
"S..S..She used to massage my abs for me" He wept and then looked hopefully at Becky.
"Not a chance" She told him warningly.
"All you have to do is…" He tried to put her hand on his abs, but Becky kept pulling away. This was amusing to watch! "No! Your doing it wrong! Here! I'll show you" Ted then started massaging himself. "Now, repeat! Oh man… oh man…"
"What Teddy?" I asked him giggling.
"That man!" He lifted his finger up at some random man. "Stole my drink"
"You didn't have a drink" Randy told him.
"That's because he stole it, I'm going to go have a word" Ted used Becky to lift himself up.
"I want to see!" I yelled over the music and grabbed onto Ted to lift me up.
"Your not going anywhere" Randy tried to yank me back down.
"Let her!" Becky told him. "I want to see how this all works out, if a fight breaks out, then you can get involved"
Me and Ted walked up to this random man. "I know right, that guy is a fail The guy said to his friends who all burst out laughing.
"You wanna say thaaa to ma face, bissshhh?" Ted told him knocking his drink down "I'll kick yaa-asss..." Ted backed up for a moment, ready to lunge when he fell and then he wildly in a demonstration of exactly how he was going to kick the bitch's ass.
"C'mon buddy" Cody came over and lifted him up.
"Consider, consider, consider…" The guy and his mates just all spluttered out laughing at Ted. "Consider yourselves, warned, my friends because Codykins here, knows kung fu! Yeah! Kung fu"
"I forgot what a bloody hand full this one is" Cody said miserably chucking Ted to sit back down.
"Man, I love you. No no no...you're not hearing me. I LOVE you. I FUCKING LOVE YOU, BRO" Ted screamed at Cody before flinging his arms around him. "And you baby!" He turned to me. "I haven't had sex in ten days, care to change that?" He smirked seductively at me. Randy raised his brows. "Don't worry Randall, you can join! Cody too! How can I forget my dear Rebecca!"
I climbed onto Randy's lap. "That's a nice beer you have"
"Your not having anymore" He told me firmly sipping up the rest of his beer.
"But Randy, I want a beer"
"No" Randy told me sternly, he put his arm around me to hold me steady.
"But I want a beer" I sniffed at him, pulling my best sad face.
"Babe. No"
"Randall. Yes."
"I can't help, but feel particularly responsible for this" Becky spoke up, Randy glared at her.
"She's kind of cute though isn't she" Randy said to her, I waved my hand in front of his face.
"Beer"
"No"
"Please?"
"No"
"Por favor?"
"No"
"But I said it in Spanish?"
"Still no"
"I don't think you understood, por favour is please in Spanish"
"I understood"
"Oh, so beer?"
"No"
"But you said I was cute…"
"Yeah, I know, you are"
"Then can I have a beer?"
"No"
"Well then you can't have a kiss"
"The answer is still no"
"No good service around here! Come on Mickie" Ted grabbed my hand and we stumbled to have our own party. "I want beer Mickie! I want beer! Oh I'm angry now! I'm so angry! I'm getting really angry! Mickie are you seeing how angry I'm getting?"
"Oh I do Ted"
"I'm so angry, I'm getting angry now, I want beer"
"So do I Ted! So do I!" I stomped my feet.
"I can get you some beer" Me and Ted turned around to see John walking towards us.
"Oh no" I stepped back.
"Don't worry baby, I will protect you baby!" Ted swung his fist and John, John stepped back and Ted fell to the floor and passed out.
"Err Ted" I kicked him with my foot, he didn't move. I looked at John who looked amused. "He's taking a nap"
"I've missed you so much" John stepped towards me, I tried to step back, but I lost my balance and fell to the floor, he reached out his hand to me, I shook my head childishly and crawled towards Ted's body. I stood up and tried to pull Ted up, but man was he heavy! I pulled even harder and flung myself into John's arms, I battled to get away from him.
"What, what, what" I confused myself, where was I? "What are you doing?" That's right!
"Shh" He placed a finger on my lips, my eyes went crossed eyed looking trying to look at his finger, I felt even more dizzy. I fell forward into John's arms. I was inches away from him and I found myself not being able to move.
"Don't tell me to Sh! You shhh" I accidentally spat whilst talking to him. "I want Randy" I sounded really angry. "Find Randy"
"I'm here baby" John whispered into my ear.
"Your not Randy, You're an impostor!" I let out a fake over the top gasp "Your John, DUN DUN DUNNNN mean John, you should be in jail mean John" I paused. "Mean John" I giggled. "Get off" I growled. I looked down at Ted. "Ted, tell him"
"Your on me sweetheart, not that I'm complaining"
"Your mom is complaining" I wagged my finger at him. "So is Ted, he will complain, he will write a strongly worded letter, he is good with those kinds of letters, plenty of experience"
"Your confused darling, your not with Randy, your with me"
"I'm not falling for that Cena, not falling for the 'Cena Charm' My ass is more charming!" I hissed at him. "Now see ya, wouldn't want to be…" I was cut off as John roughly kissed him and feeling his lips on mine again made me want to be sick. I raised my hand and slapped him, hard. "Bad John, where is my spray bottle?" I started to look around, John pushed me back against the wall and had start sucking on my neck. "EWW Gross! Get the fuck off!"
"Still feisty as ever" John mumbled into my neck.
"I said get the fuck off me!"
"I'll save you" I heard a faint sound from the ground, I saw a very weak drunk Ted crawling towards John's leg, he tried to bite him, but John kicked him off leaving Ted unconscious again.
I pushed against John's chest. "Stop it, I want Randy, I want Randy"
"You don't need him Mickie, we could be together, just you and me, don't you remember what it was like?"
"I'd rather be with Hornswoggle" I spat in his face. He put his hand on my thigh and tried to bring my leg up. "I don't want this! I want Randy!"
"Babe, I'm right he…" Randy stopped when he saw what was going on.
"Randy, make him stop" I stressed trying to push John away, John pulled away from me and starred at Randy.
"Get the fuck away from her" Randy growled and lunged at John, punching him in the jaw, John fell backwards. Randy went at him again, I let out a scream and fell to the ground. "Touch her again and I will…"
"What the hell is going on?" I heard Cody yell out, he pulled the certain back and Becky followed behind him, he stopped when he saw what was happening, his eyes widened, his eyes shifted from me, to Randy choking the hell out of John, then back at me.
"John!" Becky gasped. "Randy! Get off him, your going to kill him!"
Cody walked towards me, but tripped over Ted's body. "Oh god, Ted" Cody went on to stop Randy from murdering John. "I think you better go" He said to John sternly.
"I'm just getting started" Randy snarled.
"Go" Cody barked at John. "Go"
"Bye Mickie" John winked at me, Randy tried to escape Cody's grasp again and lunge at John, but Becky started to help and man, is she stronger than she looks.
"Go and help Mickie!" She yelled at Randy.
I was now on the floor, starring up at all of them. Randy pulled me up and I held onto him. "He wouldn't let me go" I cried softly into his chest. "I tried to call for you, but you weren't there"
"Cody, can you take Mickie?"
"Err sure?" Cody responded, I felt myself being passed to Cody, I looked at Randy confused.
"I need to go" Randy said. "I really need to get out of here" He took a last look at me and then walked off.
"What's his problem?" Becky asked Cody confused. I clung onto Cody.
"I'm not sure" Cody responded, he looked down at me and stroked my head. "Are you ok?" I nodded. "What did he do to you?" I didn't reply, I just buried my head more into Cody's chest. "Lets take her home, can you try and get Ted up?"
"I can try" Becky replied, I turned my head to see her attempting to pick Ted up. After five minutes she pulled him up.
"Oh Melina" Ted moaned. "OH MELINA"
"HELP ME!" Becky screamed as Ted leans all his body weight so they would fall down onto the ground. "Get him off me!" I heard a muffled scream under Ted. "I'm not Melina!" I couldn't help, but laugh at the sight in front of me. "Ted!"
"MELINA OH BABY"
"NO! You don't understand! I'm not Melina!"
"Kiss me Melina!"
"Noooo, Ted noo!"
"Teddy like Melina"
"I'm not Melina!"
"Kiss kiss kiss"
"Your asking for a slap now"
"I'm asking for a kiss now, a big sloppy one"
"Cody please! Get him off! God help me please! Somebody!"
"Ted make love to Melina"
"For the last time, I'm not Melina, don't you bloody dare!"
"Feisty Melina! You know how Teddy likes that"
"Stop talking in third person dammit! Get off"
"Mm boobies!"
"Someone get this man off me before I do very illegal things"
"Hehe, Teddy likes when she talks dirty to me"
"I do not want to sleep with you"
"Teddy wants to sleep with you too!"
"NO! I said I didn't want to sleep with you!"
"I'm starting to take my trousers off"
"CODY!"
"Alright, alright!" Cody yelled over Becky's screaming. "Ted, c'mon man, up to get"
"NO, now if you don't mind me and Melina are a little busy, now where was I? Oh yeah, off with the trousers!"
"CODY RHODES!"
"Why did he have to leave us!" Cody yelled out. "Sit here, don't move" Cody told me. I nodded. He helped Ted off Becky, Ted had slightly woken up, but was very drowsy.
"Hey man, what you doing here?" Ted asked Cody poking him. "Can't read my, can't read my, no you can't read my poker face!" Ted started singing and as he was singing he started poking Cody's face.
"OW! Ted that's my eye!"
"My bad! Mickie, did you see that? That was my bad! You hear? Ahahahahahh, my bad"
"God, he's annoying"
"That's not what you said when we slept together!" Ted then burst into another round of giggles. "I think I deserve a high five for that one baby, baby?" He looked at me. "What's wrong baby? Teddy doesn't like it when baby is sad"
"Randy's gone"
"To the toilet?"
"No Ted" I shook my head. "Gone gone"
"He isn't gone, he has just gone for some air, he wouldn't leave you" Becky tried to re-assure me. Ted looked over at Becky. "What?" She snapped.
"Where did Melina go?"
Becky's P.O.V
"We need to get to the hotel!" Cody groaned, dragging an unconscious Ted along. It wouldn't have been bad if he was conscious but now, he was practically deadweight.
"I've called a cab," I assured, pulling Mickie along. She followed dazedly, like a sheep. My bet was that her mind was still on Randy. I had no idea where my stupid brother – the strongest of us all – had disappeared to. I was furious at him but I had two emotional drunk people to deal with right now.
"God, I know his your brother but I can't believe him!" Cody bitched, unsteadily supporting Ted, who was snoring loudly. We managed to bring them outside and wait on the sidewalk for the cab.
"I don't blame you," I gently sat Mickie down and she looked up with me with wide, vulnerable eyes. I had never seen her like that but it didn't take three guesses to know why she was like that.
"Randy?" She asked softly.
"He'll be back soon." I was too tired to think of a lie.
"I want Randy." She said mournfully and tears began sprouting down her cheeks.
After everything that had happened, Cody and I had sobered right up, although we hadn't had too much to begin with. I had also forgotten by anger at him. They seemed unimportant now.
I shot him a desperate glance when Mickie began crying but we were interrupted by Ted suddenly stirring awake.
"I feel like I've just been born." Ted said, straightening up as if he hadn't just been unconscious two seconds ago, "and birth should be nakey!" Then, before Cody and I could do anything, he dropped his pants. Right there, in the middle of the sidewalk.
"Ted!" Cody yelled in shock and grabbed his wrists to stop him taking off his boxers as well.
I couldn't help it, the sight of Ted standing there with his pants around his ankles was too much and I began cracking up. Cody glanced at me for a second before joining in.
"Do not take off your boxers!" I said through my laughter.
Ted pouted but nodded reluctantly. Cody slowly let go of his wrists and Ted immediately ripped off his shirt.
"Birth should be nakey," Ted sang.
Cody looked exasperated, "Ted, put your clothes back on!"
I heard a muffled sob and turned to see that Mickie had buried her face in her hands. I decided to leave Cody to it and crouched down next to Mickie and tried to console her.
"It's okay. He'll be back. He's just… scared."
"I love him lots," Mickie said in a quiet voice, "but more than he loves me."
"That's not possible." I disagreed, almost laughing at that ridiculous comment, "I have never seen Randy happier. Not even with Sam. The way he looks at you… that's pure devotion."
"I messed up." She cried.
"You didn't do anything!" I insisted desperately, "Don't you dare blame yourself!"
"Mickie," Cody joined me and crouched down next to me, he patted Mickie's knee reassuringly, "Randy is crazy about you and he doesn't blame you… I bet he's mad at himself!"
"That's even worse!" Mickie sobbed, "I don't want him to feel bad!" The rest of her words were muffled out by her sobs and she disappeared behind her hands again.
"Mickie-"
"I've lost him forever!" She yelled.
"Mickie," Cody said in a sterner voice, "You have not lost him. You have too much of a good thing and you are both completely in love," then his eyes slid across to mine, "And if you have such a good thing and if you both care about each other that much, then you don't let anything get in the way because, quite frankly, it's too good to lose."
Mickie blew her nose loudly, making Cody and I turn away from our locked gaze and back to her. She wiped her eyes before giving us a timid smile, "I can see why you were screwing him."
I opened my mouth in shock whilst Cody spluttered with laughter. Before either of us could say anything, however, a voice interrupted.
"I've been reborn!"
Cody and I both spun around to see a completely naked Ted standing there. In the middle of the sidewalk. Just as the taxi pulled up.
Oh fantastic.
Later
"I think you would love to go to sleep!" I disagreed for the thousandth time.
Ted stood opposite me in Cody's hotel room, a frown on his face.
"Why would I do that? I want to party!" He gave me a small display of air guitar and then gave me a 'rock on' hand sign.
"No. You want to sleep. Look at how comfy the bed is." I patted the sofa, like he was a dog.
Ted grimaced, "No. I don't want to sleep."
I closed my eyes, knowing there was only one thing for it.
"Melina."
"Huh?"
"Melina said that she's going to come by later," I said, "but only if you're waiting in bed for her."
"Oh boy!" Ted looked excited – not in that way! – and immediately pulled off his shirt. Oh, not again.
"Wait!" I said, holding up my hands, "She said she wants to undress you herself."
Ted considered this before nodding and dropping onto the bed. He immediately began putting himself into different poses, "Will this arouse her?"
I bit my tongue before nodding once. Ted looked thrilled, then dropped his head back and fell asleep.
I rolled him into the recovery position before opening the hotel door, "He's asleep." I whispered.
Cody had been waiting outside with Mickie. We couldn't let them go back to their rooms in case they did something stupid or choked on their own sick, so we decided to get them to sleep in Cody's room. One by one.
Mickie was less hassle since she had exhausted herself with all the crying. She eventually dropped off and we put her too in the recovery position.
Cody and I stood over them, watching as Ted snored loudly and Mickie fidgeted in her sleep.
"Do we leave them here or…?"
Cody glanced around before grabbing my arm (sigh) and dragging me into the bathroom. "We can do a rota."
"Why are we in here?"
"Because," he nodded at the bath, "That's our bed for tonight!"
I perched on the end of the bath and gave him a disbelieving look, "Why don't we just use Ted's room? It's across the room?"
"We might get tempted. Besides, a bath is less comfortable, so we'll be more willing to get up."
I rolled my eyes, "Cody, that's the stupidest thing that I've ever heard."
"Even stupider than 'I'm a man and I have needs'?"
I paused slightly before giving him a look, "Not quite as stupid as that."
Cody ran a hand through his hair, "I'm sorry." He apologized, "I messed up. I just panicked because I didn't want to hear Mickie's lecture." He glanced at me, "I don't want this to end. Whenever I'm with you, I just want to keep spending time with you. I think…" he glanced down at his feet, "I think that I could really fall for you."
I glanced at him uncertainly before rolling my eyes. I was pathetic but I didn't care. I got to my feet, marched towards him and pulled him towards me.
It had only been a couple of days but I had already missed kissing him
After a few minutes, he pulled back with a cheesy grin on his face, "Does this mean that I'm forgiven?"
I ignored him and just continued kissing him some more, which he was only too happy to oblige to.
Suddenly there was a cough and Ted and Mickie stood there.
"See. I told you!" Mickie grinned.
"What a slut." Ted wagged a finger at me.
I glanced at Cody who grinned back at me. It was going to be a long night – especially now that the two were awake again – but there was one good point.
"Thank god their drunk." Cody muttered, knowing that they wouldn't remember this in the morning.
