How Taking Down Legacy Failed

John's P.O.V

"What? I thought you were my go to girl" I said to Melina angrily, she was refusing to give up any information on Randy and Mickie's relationship, rumour is they are back together, but no one has cleared up whether he remembers her or not.

"That was before John, I've changed" She replied, trying to brush me off.

"Bullshit" I snapped. "You haven't changed; now tell me what I need to know"

"Why don't you just leave her alone John? You have Liz, I don't even know what you're waiting around for, and you don't even like Mickie"

"You're going to tell me" I gripped her arm and pulled her closer to me. "Now"

"Get the fuck off me John, I'm not afraid of you" I laughed, bless her, trying to be brave.

"Well I could always change that" I whispered into her ear. She jerked away from me, rubbing her arm.

"Are you ever going to give up? What the hell does she have to do to get you of her case? You don't even love her John" Melina said to me in disgust, she tried to walk away, but I grabbed her wrist dragging her back.

"Your right, I don't love her" I didn't actually love Mickie, it was true.

"Then what do you want with her?"

"She was a good fuck"

"Oh dear" Melina rolled her eyes at me again.

"You tell Mickie that" I went to walk away.

"No"

"What?" I turned back around.

"I'm not going to tell her anything" Melina stood firm.

"You're her friend, aren't you?"

"Yeah"

"Then tell her" I told Melina sternly, standing in front of her again.

"Even if I did, she wouldn't care, it won't change things, she's back with Randy now" So it was true.

"Tell me more about this" I tried to probe her.

"I'm not giving you any more information John, just advice, GIVE UP" She yelled at me, she went to brush past me, but I grabbed her arm and threw her at the wall. "Go on John, prove what a man you really are" She spat at me, groaning, holding her the back of her head.

"You're making things worse for yourself" I sneered at her. "Just tell me what I need to know"

"Get fucked"

"Wrong choice, my dear" I tutted with my tongue. Women, they could save themselves a whole lot of trouble if they just co-operate.

"Leave her alone" I turned around to see Dibiase charging towards us. I rolled my eyes as he stepped in front of Melina playing the hero.

"This doesn't concern you, so if you don't mind…" I tried to push him away, but he stood firm. "Don't get involved in my business Dibiase"

"She told you to leave her alone" He stepped forward trying to square up to me, I laughed at his efforts.

"Fine, I'll speak to you later Melina" I told her, I then turned to Ted. "Tell Mickie, my thoughts are with her during these tough times" I smirked, he looked as if he were going to punch me, mission accomplished.

Mickie's P.O.V

I made sure Hayden was snug in his buggy; we were going downstairs to meet Melina for coffee. I had a lot to get off my chest about Randy. He was out with Becky at the moment, I hadn't seen him since we….got together, I guess you could call it. I didn't know how this relationship would work out, I could be myself around my Randy, but this one, it's more awkward because he's not happy that he may be…well in love, so of course every second he is with me, he tries to persuade himself otherwise. He is also more protective and possessive than my Randy

Melina was already sitting down waiting with two coffees when I got there; she smiled as I sat down. "You ok?" I asked her.

"I should be the one asking that" She chuckled. "I'm fine, had a run in with your ex"

I rolled my eyes at this. "What the hell did he want?"

"Information, but Ted saved me from him" She smiled dreamily; I think she still liked Ted.

"Ted, huh?" I smirked at her. "You should give him another chance you know"

"I don't know, I'll have to think about it" She gave me a small smile. "So you and Randy, together again"

"Kind of…I mean…I think… I don't actually know, this Randy is really confusing and doesn't know what he wants" I told her sighing. "He's trying to convince himself that he just wants to have sex and that's all"

"It's because he's the old Randy, the one who wanted nothing more then sex with women, but you changed your one and that Randy is still there" Melina said, I agreed with her, I know he is there and I know he will come back to me.

"I just don't want to lie to him anymore, I want to tell him that he is my Randy, my fiancé, Hayden's father, he keeps asking me about it and every time I have to say I don't know, I'm sick of it" I looked down at my coffee, things aren't going to get easier until he remembers.

"I'm so sorry, I know this is probably the worst pain you have ever felt"

I shrugged a little, letting out a sad laugh. "What do I do?"

"You wait, it's the only thing you can do"

"I guess I should be grateful that Randy's feelings are still there, I don't think I would of lasted this long if not, we spoke to the doctor, he said it was a good sign that his feelings were there" I smiled. "But he made it clear that we can't tell Randy"

"Why not?" She asked me.

"He said it's better for Randy to start to remember things on his own, but I so want to tell him, I don't know how much longer I can wait."

Randy's P.O.V

Rebecca watched me in disgust as I blew out a puff of smoke. "What?" I snapped at her after getting sick of.

"That is really bad for your lungs" I rolled my eyes at her and continued. "You only smoke when something is bothering you, so c'mon fess up" I ignored her. "Is this about Mickie? Or should I say, your girlfriend" She smirked. "Oh c'mon Randall, it's not so bad being in a relationship"

"This is me you're talking to" I leaned my head back. "I don't do relationships""What about Sam?"

I scoffed. "Sam? She just thought we were in a relationship, I barely saw her that was the good thing" I told her.

"So what your saying is, you don't want to see Mickie?" She asked me, her face scrunched up in confusion.

"No" I said sharply. "I do want to see her"

"Then what's the problem?"

"I just don't want to have…"

"Feelings?" She cut me off.

"A distraction" I corrected her.

"Oh come off it Randy, that is bullshit, if anything she will motivate you"

"How can I be focused when I'm too busy worrying about her?" She didn't understand.

"Simple, just don't worry about her" She really didn't.

"I always worry about her" I told her. "It doesn't make sense, how can someone I've known for barely a week have such an affect on me?"

"It's simple" I raised a brow. "You're in lovveeeee"

"Love?" I scoffed. "Do you even know me?"

"Yes and I can tell when your in loveeeee"

"I'm not in love" I snapped at her.

"I know the symptoms Randall, you loveeee her" I gave her a warning look. "You want to kissss her and marrrrrrrry her"

"Orton's don't…"

"Don't even finish that sentence Randy because its bull, Dad loves mom, I love Cody and you love Mickie, why can't you just admit it to yourself?" I didn't know what to say, "You just don't want someone to have the power over you, because you like to be control"

Maybe she was right. "It's probably just sex, not love"

"Nice" She rolled her eyes. "No, it's not that"

"And you know that how?" I rolled my eyes in return. It was weird talking to my sister about this, but I had no where else to turn to. Couldn't tell Ted, couldn't tell Cody, I don't trust anyone else.

"Because if it was sex, you would have moved on by now, you would have done the deed and left"

"We haven't" I corrected her. "She wasn't ready"

"Then you would of skipped her, but your willing to work at it, that means something Randy" I sighed and nodded. "Don't let your ego or your stubbornness gets in the way Randy, she's probably the best thing that's ever going to happen to you"

"I know" I smiled. "No, wait I didn't sa-"

"I knew it! HAHAHA" Sisters.

Mickie's P.O.V

I was back at our room, no one was in. I bathed Hayden, put him in fresh clothes and put him down for a nap. I came out of Hayden's bedroom to see Randy had just come back; he looked up at me as I came out of the room. "Hey" I said softly.

"Hi" He replied, stepping towards me. I watched him carefully, I feared that he was going to tell me he made a mistake, that he doesn't want to be with me after all, but he didn't say that, he didn't say anything. He leaned down and covered my lips with his, he kissed me so gently, so soft and I felt Randy's love sinking through. He held my chin lightly as he pulled away. He pulled my hand, leading me into my room, I was afraid that he was going to try and seduce me again, but he didn't, he just laid me down, and he settled down next to me. He took my mouth again, more passionate this time, I blinked as I felt my eyes water, he was about to pull away, but I couldn't let him see I was tearing; I grabbed his cheek and held him in place. I gathered myself up before the kiss was broken; I rested my head on his chest. He stroked my hair, "What's wrong?" He asked, damn, he noticed.

"What do you mean?" I played stupid.

"I wasn't born yesterday" He answered, I sighed.

"Nothing" I replied.

He starred at me, like he was trying to read me, but he could never guess what was on my mind. "No." He said sternly. "Tell me"

"It's nothing, really" I looked away from him.

"Don't keep secrets from me" I looked up at him. "I don't like it."

"It's just, it's me, It's you, we both know how you are and well you are…" He cut me off.

"What? An asshole with no emotions?" He tried to finish my sentence harshly, I sat up.

"No, that's not it!"

"And Orton's can't love, is that it? That I'm just using you for sex, after all that happened" He said through clenched teeth.

"They are all your words" I snapped at him. "You're the one who said Orton's can't love and you're the one who said this is all for a quick fuck" I smacked his chest. I tried to get up, but he put his hand on my waist and stopped me.

"Your wrong" He snapped back at me. "Because I can do all those things"

"They are your words!" I yelled at him. "You said them all yesterday, if you're taking them all back…. are you suggesting that you love me?" He blinked at me in shock. I really didn't mean to say that.

"O-o-of course not" He stuttered, but then scoffed. "It's just; you shouldn't make assumptions like that"

"It all the stuff that comes out your mouth Randy!" I shoved his hand away from me. "You and your stupid ego" I muttered shaking my head. "You need to know what you want"

"I said I'd be with you didn't I?"

I leaned back and starred at him in disgust. "Do you even want to be? Or are you doing it because you feel you have to? Because I have no idea" I stood up and went over to the door. I opened it.

"Mickie, don't" He put his hand over my mine and closed the door back up; his voice really did sound desperate.

"Do you even know what you want?" I had to muster up all my energy to make sure that my voice didn't break, I thought being together would make me feel better, make things easier, but its just harder to keep everything altogether.

"Yes I do and it's you!" He yelled, he slammed the hand that was by the side of my head against the door. "I want you" He softened up once he saw the fear in my eye, I knew my Randy wouldn't hurt me, I can't say the same for this one. "I'm new at this, I don't know even know what I'm feeling, but I do know that it's strong" He pulled me onto his lap and rested his head on my shoulder, I kissed the side of his head and rested back onto him. "You look really nice today by the way" He mumbled awkwardly. I smiled to myself, he was really cute when he was trying to be sweet. I let out a deep breath I didn't realise that I had been holding. "You smell familiar" Randy whispered, taking in a whiff of my hair, it's nice to know that I was still familiar to him.

"Is that good?" I asked him, he nodded and buried his nose back into my hair. "Maybe Becky uses the same shampoo?" I said dumbly.

"Mm…maybe" His voice wasn't convinced.

Preview of next chapter:

I grabbed my gym gear like I usually do at this time. I walked out with Hayden in my arms to see Randy waiting, leaning against the kitchen counter. "It's about time" He muttered looking over at me. "Take your time….please" He said sarcastically. Despite the fact we were trying this girlfriend and boyfriend thing, it didn't mean he treated me any nicer, it's not like I asked him to wait for me!
