"Hey, you must be Randy's guest" Ted said standing up and shaking AJ's hand
"Yes, I am " she said forcing a smile and pulling her hand away
"So what did you do when we were waiting?" Randy asked her
"Just looking for my lucky charm" she said a little bit nervous as she sipped her water
"The one Robert gave you?" Randy asked surprised
"Who's Robert?" Ted asked keeping his eyes on the menu
"AJ's brother" Randy answered
"Really?" Ted exclaimed surprised that Randy knew AJ so well
"Yep, let's check out our menus" She said changing the subject
"Alright I'll take a New York strip" Randy said closing his menu
"I'll have a Rib eye" Ted said hungrily as he closed his menu
Both men stared at AJ waiting for her to say her order
"I think I'll have Filet Mignion" she said placing her menu on the table and forced a smile
Then a waiter came and took their orders and when they waited for their meals in akward silence until AJ decided that she couldn't contain her emotions and frustration over Trent's arrival.
"I need to go to the ladies room" she said with a fake smile and then she walked to the ladies bathroom and locked herself inside and started to break down. She sat there for 15 minutes but she managed to pull herself together for now. She walked back to the table and their food had arrived. She sat next to Randy who looked worried and curiously at her, she tried to act as if nothing was wrong. Ted seemed unaffected but Randy was now very suspicous. But he waited until after their lunch to ask her. They said goodbye to Ted and when they walked out Randy thought it's now or never
" So AJ, what happend?" He said stopping in the middle of the street
"What do you mean?" she said facing him
" Something happend before you came and it's making you act weird, and I know it wasn't about the lucky charm" he said
"I just miss Nacho, that's all" she lied to him and continued walking
"Right" he said unconvinced but following her
The rest of their time off was fun but Randy was still trying to squeeze the truth out of AJ but she wouldn't budge. It was now Monday and both AJ and Randy had returned to get back to work. Since they were in a storyline together and hadn't worked with eachother before Hunter made them share locker rooms and hotel rooms, to make them bond. Which actually worked for them. they were now officially friends. Tonight was when Randy and AJ would make their on-screen relationship official in front of the crowd. Randy and AJ sat in his locker room going over the script they were given and they went over every little detail to make sure the promo was perfect. They went to the gorilla position and got ready to act as a couple, the producer walked over to Randy and AJ and counted down from 3 with his fingers. When he reached 0 Randy's theme came blasting through the arena. Randy took AJ's hand and they walked down the ramp hand to hand with big smiles. Both their smiles were half real, both of them felt that it was really fun to be working together especially as an on-screen couple. When they both walked up the stairs leading to the ring, Randy stood on the bottom rope to let AJ into the ring as a gentleman. He went to the side of the ring and grabbed a microphone.
"Life is just great right now" he paused as the crowd cheered "I'm now the number 1 contender for John Cena's championship, which I will win at the royal rumble which. Also I have a nice partner here and together we are going to be the most dominant couple to EVER! in the history of the WWE" he said smiling wide and handing AJ the microphone. "We are going to be the next Edge and Lita but better, we're going to be even more powerful than Triple H and Stephanie" she said smiling wickedly dropping the microphone and sharing a sloppy kiss that lasted a long time but eventually one of them pulled away knowing that the show must move on. They both made their way up the ramp holding hands and then walked backstage separating their hands. Then they entered the locker room and sat down collecting their thoughts.
"You were great out there" Randy complimented as AJ blushed slightly
"Thanks, you too" she said back
They sat there silently and then was a knock on the door and Hunter walked in and stood infront of them sporting a suit and a professional look on his face.
"You two did great out there" he said to the two
"Thanks" they both said at the same time
"I think you got the point across, anyways Randy get in your wrestling and AJ just stay the way you are because Randy you got a match tonight." Hunter said professionally
"What" Randy said angrily to him shooting out of his seat "I was told that we were only going to do a segment and we were free to go"
"Plans change" Hunter shrugged
"Alright fine"Randy said defeated sitting back down "Against who?"
"You're going against Sheamus, originally Daniel Bryan was but he had some personal stuff" Hunter explained "Your match is in 1 ½ hour, get ready" and then he left
"Alright" Randy mumbled standing up and started digging in his duffel bag
AJ left the locker room to find Kaitlyn she hadn't seen her since the brawl with the Total Divas, she walked in the Divas locker room searching for Kaitlyn but all she found were Kaitlyn's bags on a bench. She walked out without saying a word, she walked down the halls and finally found Kaitlyn 10 minutes later in catering eating some fruit. She walked up to Kaitlyn and sat down infront of Kaitlyn.
"Hey Kait" she said grabbing a grape from Kaitlyn's plate
"Hey AJ" Kaitlyn said
"So do you have a match tonight?" AJ asked making conversation
"Nah, but I do have a backstage segment" she said
"Okay" AJ said "So can we ride together to the next house show?"
"Don't you ride with Randy?" Kaitlyn asked before eating the last grape
"I don't have to it's recommended by Hunter since we were complete strangers before the storyline" she explained
"Alright, we'll leave after my segment" Kaitlyn said
"Wait Randy has a last minute match so I have to be there" AJ explained
"Fine, I'll wait for you" Kaitlyn shrugged
"Thanks Kait" AJ said standing up and hugging her best friend before walking back to the locker room to talk to Randy. She walked in and found Randy putting on his oil for his match.
"A little early for that, no?" AJ asked sitting on the bench opening her twitter on her phone
"I like being prepared early" he shrugged
"Alright, so anything special I do except for cheering you on?" she asked
"I don't think so" he said putting the oil bottle in his bag
"Who's going on top?" she asked
"Me, 'cause we have to look powerful" he explained
"Yeah" she said pausing "Anyways I hope you don't mind that I wont be riding with you to the next house show"
"Who?" he asked
"Kaitlyn" she said to him
"Oh" he paused "Ok"
"Why do you even care?" she asked curious
"Just thinking about the storyline, I mean the press sees you with another guy it might ruin the storyline a little bit" he lied, the truth was that he had started already to like AJ and he didn't want her around other guys.
"Ok" she said standing up "I'm gonna go get our scripts, it starts in exactly 1 hour" and she walked out
Randy sighed loudly and sat down and ran his hands over his head "No, I can't be falling for her. I need to ask her, but maybe a little later. I might freak her out" as soon as he made up his mind AJ came in with their scripts and the happy smile he had learned to like.
"Okay, here you go" she said handing his script over
"Thanks" he said reading the script carefully
An hour passed and they were both standing at gorilla getting into character, Sheamus was first to go out to the ring. After came Randy and AJ, AJ stood at ringside and Randy entered the ring with an evil smirk on his face. The bell rang and Randy tackled Sheamus and got a good bit of punches on his face until the referee stopped him, Sheamus got up and Randy ran over to him kicked him in the gut and planted a nice DDT on him. He climbed up on the turnbuckle getting ready for a diving crossbody but when he was about to hit Sheamus he rolled out of the way. Randy and Sheamus had agreed that Randy would dominate majority of the match but Sheamus had some control too. Sheamus stomped Randy and went to the corner of the ring and started preparing for his finisher Brogue kick. Then AJ jumped up on the apron and started screaming at the referee so he would not pay attention to the two, as planned. Sheamus walked over and yelled at AJ, and while Sheamus was distracted Randy got up took off a fabric protecting the metal part of the top turnbuckle. AJ kept on going and Sheamus returned to the match he saw Randy in the corner and headed towards him when he got close enough Randy jumped out of the corner and grabbed Sheamus by the head and slammed it against the turnbuckle. Sheamus lost his balance and fell onto the mat holding his head. Then AJ jumped off the apron and the referee returned to the match, Randy grabbed Sheamus and Rko'd him and pinned him "1…..2…...3!" and AJ slid into the ring and they shared a sloppy kiss while Randy's hand was held in victory. Then they headed backstage and showered and went their separate ways, AJ with Kaitlyn and Randy with Cody. After an hour apart both had already started missing eachother.
