Randy and AJ walked into their locker room both exhausted from their match against Fandango and Summer Rae. Even though they were both exhausted they couldn't contain their happiness over the match it was their best match yet. When they both showered and changed they headed to the garage there was a man leaning against it. Randy's first thought was some fan who had breached security wanted an autograph. But when he came closer he recognized Trent, he knew Trent back when he was on the main roster. They were pretty good friends but had lost contact after Trent left the WWE. Randy looked at AJ who looked uncomfortable and alarmed.

"What's wrong?" he whispered as they both walked towards Trent

"I'm just really tired and I wanna go to the hotel" she whispered back

"Ok" he nodded as he approached Trent

"Randal, nice to see you again" Trent greeted and then looked at AJ "April"

AJ plastered a fake smile and entered the passenger seat slamming the door causing Randy to flinch

"Whoa, what's up with her?" Trent asked with a grin

"I dunno, Nice to see you Greg" Randy greeted

"Wanna go hit the club just like old times?" Trent offered

"Sorry can't, I'm too tired now" Randy rejected "Maybe some other time"

"Alright" Trent said getting closer to AJ's door

"What are you doing?" Randy asked noticing Trent's weird behaviour around AJ

"I just wanna chat with April" Trent replied not taking his eyes off of AJ

"I don't think so" Randy said protectively pulling Trent back

"Whoa" Trent exclaimed surprised raising his arms i defeat and backing slightly "So protective of little April"

"She exhausted and wants to get to the hotel" Randy explained

"Ok" Trent started "I will see you two tommorow" walking away

Randy entered the car and sat in the drivers seat and sighed heavily before looking at AJ who was stone faced and just staring at the dashboard.

"AJ" he said softly in hopes she would look at him but she remained still. "AJ" he said more demanding but she was the same. "AJ" he said loudly and she still didn't respond and now Randy was getting worried. He put his hand on her small shoulder and shook her lightly and then she looked at him.

"Hey" she said with a weak smile, truthfully Randy was the only one that could make her smile in a situation like this. When Randy heard her voice he was instantly relieved and all the thoughts racing through his head were erased when he heard her voice.

"One question" he said holding one finger in front of AJ who nodded "What's going on with Trent and you?"

"We're not together" she said in a low voice

"I know, but you were a changed person when you saw him" Randy said

"Bad break up" AJ lied

"AJ, I don-" he started but was cut off by AJ

"Please Randy, can we just go?" she asked emotionally exhausted and Randy picked up on that and decided to let it go, for now.

He drove them to the hotel and when they arrived at their hotel room AJ quickly got ready for bed and went to sleep way earlier than they usually fell asleep. Randy was now coming up with all kinds of conclusions about why AJ was so weird around Trent. But he wanted to know the truth and he was going to get the truth. He went to sleep with AJ on the opposite side of the bed and truthfully wanted to fall asleep like he did last time with AJ.


Next morning he woke up with AJ's side of the bed empty but there was a note: Went to the gym - AJ.

He got out of bed and got ready for breakfast but he was going to wait for AJ after the gym. He didn't want to eat alone or for to AJ eat alone. After he showered and was fully dressed he sat in the couch and continued to think of how he was going to get the truth . He thought mostly about how he acted yesterday with Trent, he was really protective of AJ and almost like a boyfriend. He was thinking about how life would change if he asked AJ to be his girlfriend, would it be harder? would it be easier? would they live together?. Lots of thoughts were racing through his head but came to a schreeching halt when there was a loud knock on the door.

"APRIL!" an angry voice shouted from the outside "APRIL OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!"

Randy shot up from the couch and was angry that someone had interrupted his daydream. He opened the door fast and came face to face with Trent.

"Sorry to dissapoint you but I'm not April" he mocked Trent

"That's quite alright" Trent smiled and turned to walk away but Randy grabbed his arm and turned him around

"Did you need something?" Randy asked in a low voice not letting go his grip

"I needed to talk to April" Trent replied jerking his arm away from Randy's rough grip "Why do you even care?"

"She's my co -worker, we look out for eachother" Randy answered innocently

"You two seem awfully close" Trent pointed out

"We're just friends" Randy said in a low voice inching closer to Trent who didn't seem intimidated at all

Randy and Trent stood there glaring at eachotherbut both looked at the hallway when they heard small footsteps. It was AJ who looked happy but when she saw Randy and Trent uncomfortably close to eachother she instantly became alarmed. She stepped in between the two men andheld them back from exchanging blows.

"I was looking for you" Trent said looking down at AJ

"Not now, Trent" she pleaded

"Fine, I will see you" Trent said pointing his finger at AJ but Randy slapped it away "Later" and then left the two in the hallway

They walked back into the hotel room and both were more confused than ever.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" AJ shouted

"What?" Randy asked confused closing the door after them

"Why did it look like you two were about to exchange blows?" AJ asked a little quieter

"He just rubs me the wrong way" Randy lied scratching the back of his head

"That is bullshit and you know it" she said inching closer to him

"Why are you so worked up when it comes to him?" Randy asked feeling that he was getting close to solving the puzzle

"What do you mean?" AJ questioned slowly understanding that Randy was starting to reveal her secret

"Knock it off" Randy said fed up with her lies

"Seriously?" AJ questioned not believing the words coming out of his mouth

"I started noticing that you are a lot more upset after we met Ted in Jersey, I tried not to pry and pretend to believe your terrible lies. But I have had it!" Randy shouted

"Fine, you want the truth?" AJ said and Randy nodded irritated and then she explained everything the drugs and their relationship and him coming back in Jersey. After Randy heard the truth he was frozen, at the end AJ went to take a shower and when she came back he hadn't moved a muscle. She sat next to him and put her small hand on his back in attempt to comfort him and when she did he made eye contact with her.

"I'm sorry" he said in a low voice

"What?" AJ questioned not understanding what he was apoligizing for

"I shouldn't have yelled at you, I didn't know" he replied

"It's okay" she said "Should we go eat?" she asked standing up

"Yeah, but I have something to say" Randy said as she sat back down

"Okay" she said unsure where this was going

"I have a confession" Randy started "I know we've only been working for 2 weeks but I have been developing feelings about you"

AJ was a little surprised but decided to come clean also since this was the right time

"I also have feelings for you" AJ said looking him in the eye

When Randy heard it his face lit up and he looked the happiest AJ had ever seen him, but he forced himself to calm down he didn't want to creep AJ out but it didn't seem to bother her at all.

"You have no idea how happy that makes me" Randy said

"So, what happens now?" AJ asked
