Chapter 53: Annaliese
Randy's POV; December 29
"Ah, nothing like a good walk around Washington D.C. with my girlfriend and my twin daughters to help me feel good in the morning." I say with a smirk as I wrapped my arm around 'Manda's waist.
"Someone's in a jovial mood this morning . . ." she tells me with a smirk as we turn the corner on to an intersecting street. "I never realized a simple eight block walk to the arena would put you in such a good mood this morning. I figured you would be a bit bitter actually."
"Now why would you think I would be in a sour mood this morning hmm?" I ask with an eyebrow raised. "What makes you think that way?"
"Well . . . for starters . . . this is the last day you're actually making an appearance on Raw until after the Royal Rumble . . ." she tells me with a smirk as she looks down at the twins in their stroller. "Isn't that right Dani and Gabi?"
Dani and Gabi both let out small squeals in their usual baby language, both of them completely covered up in order to protect themselves from the severe cold weather that's been hitting the Northeast for days. Although, I highly doubt they can actually feel the cold due to their strong vampire lineage.
"You do make a good point there . . . I should be a little depressed that I won't be wrestling for a while," I tell her with a small shake of my head. "But as long as I'm with you and the girls, I'm totally fine with it."
"That is definitely good to hear . . ." she tells me with a smirk as she pecks my lips.
"I'm glad you're happy to hear that . . ." I tell her with a smirk as I spot the arena just down the street. ". . . Since you're going to do more of the wrestling in this relationship and I'll be sitting on the sidelines for these next few weeks, there's going to be a slight dilemma that we're going to have to face you know."
"A dilemma?" she asks me curiously as I switch our duffle bags from my right hand to our left. "And what kind of dilemma would that be?"
"I know we're still sharing a locker room because we're both going to be in action tonight, but you're going to have to start changing in the Divas' locker room again after today, while me . . ." I say as we quickly cross over the boulevard before the light could change back to red. ". . . Well, I'm not going to wrestle anymore after today. I won't need a locker room. So, the question is this: Where exactly am I going to stay with the twins while you are out wrestling?"
"How about craft services?" she suggest to me, but I just shake my head for an answer. "It's not a good idea?"
"I don't mind craft services . . ." I tell her as I think about it. ". . . But when I talk about staying in a spot backstage with the twins while you're out wrestling for the public, I'm talking about a place with some privacy, and a little space. . . And no, the bus isn't going to cut it either. Going to work while on the road is my time away from Hal. I don't need to spend a full 24 hours with him every day."
"I'll make sure to tell Hal you said that . . ." she tells me with a sarcastic look on her face as we finally reached the block where the arena is located. "And don't worry baby. I got you covered."
"How so?" I ask her as I raise an eyebrow.
"Monica is getting an increase in matches as well, so we decided to go up to Steph and Hunter to ask about us getting our own locker room away from the other Divas, due to various reasons like the twins and seniority and whatnot . . ." she tells me with a smirk as we walk into the employee parking lot behind the arena. "And thankfully, they agreed."
"So the twins and I can spend my time in your locker room, while you and your sister are out there wrestling for the public," I say with a grin as I spot the employee entrance at the end of the long row of vehicles we were currently passing. "And when exactly did you and Monica make your request with Hunter and Steph again?"
"During the last house show after New York on Friday . . ." she tells me with a conspiratorial smirk. "I was going to tell you this later, but since you brought this whole thing up just now, I figured I should just tell you this now."
"I'm glad you did. I was starting to worry for a second . . ." I tell her with a shake of my head as we reach the security checkpoint at the entrance. We quickly show our to the guard at the post, who easily waves us in without even taking a good look at them.
"You . . . the Viper . . . starting to worry?" she says with a smirk as we walk inside the warm arena, a sweet relief compared to the freaking cold outside world we just walked through. "That's so unlike you. Are you running a fever baby?"
"I can never run a fever babe . . ." I tell her with a smirk as we look at the match card pined against the wall on our left. "But if I ever was able to do it, I would certainly love the idea of you being my nurse. You would wear a cute nurse's outfit for me right?"
"Maybe . . ." she tells me with a chuckle as she starts to loosen the girls' outdoor onesies. "But let's quit with the sexy talk for now okay? We're in a professional environment after all?"
"Yeah . . . a professional environment that's hosting an event for a company that has a history of showing staged, and sometimes un-staged, sexual situations on camera. Sometimes, they just catch something on camera that just shouldn't be seen by the general, and definitely kid-infested, public." I say with a smirk as I look at the backstage directory. "But that's just me stating an observation."
"Whatever you say . . ." she tells me with a smirk as she takes off her hat. "Have you found the number for our room yet?"
"Yep . . . It's just down the hall, a few doors down from the main locker rooms," I tell her with a smirk. "Follow me babe and I'll show you the way."
"I know you will Ran . . ."she tells me with a grin. "But before you move any further, you may want to zip your fly up."
"Wait what?" I ask her in slight shock as I look down to indeed see that my zipper was down. "How long has that been down?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing . . ." she tells me with a smirk before I turn away from her and the twins to quickly zip my fly up. "After all this time, you never noticed that your fly was down?"
"Nope, and thank goodness for thermal underwear . . ." I say with a smirk, which instantly gets a chuckle out of her. "Hopefully this doesn't happen again."
"What shouldn't happen again?"
We both turn to see Hunter walking over to us with a tall raven haired woman walking right behind him. Hunter was dressed in one of his usual suits, while the woman was dressed in a way that told me that she really wasn't one of McMahon's business partners. Her eyes were trained on me completely, as if I was the only object in the world that was important to her, which basically means trouble for me. And judging from the way she was provocatively dressed, her heightened beauty, slightly hungry look on her face and the fact her eyes were trained only on me and nothing else, I had a feeling this woman wasn't an ordinary human.
"Oh nothing much Hunter . . ." Amanda tells me as she narrowed her eyes as the newcomer, who didn't pay her no mind at all. "Randy just had a fashion miscue, that's all."
"His fly was down?" Hunter asks us knowingly as I turn to him with a sheepish shake of my head. "I figured as much . . ."
"Please don't make a joke about it Hunter. I don't need that kind of crap right now." I tell him with a shake of my head as I put my free hand in my pocket.
"Of course not. Like I would ever do such a thing to you . . ." Hunter tells me with a small chuckle as he turns to the woman behind him. "Annaliese, this is the Viper, Randy Orton, and his mate Amanda, otherwise known as Ms. K.O. and the Anaconda."
"Oh . . . you two are together? I had no idea," she tells us, her voice carrying a British accent as she looked at the two of us in shock, but I could easily see the slight hint of disappointment and . . . anger that showed in her eyes as Hunter said the word 'mate'. "I thought you two were just in a storyline romance or something."
"Oh no, their love is as real as some of the supernatural myths today," Hunter tells her with a smirk as he points to the stroller. "It's so real that these two have already started making babies."
"Really Hunter?" Amanda asks him with a shake of her head. "Did you have to say it like that?"
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself," says Hunter as he shakes his head. "Anyway Annaliese, Randy, Amanda, and their kids are vampires like myself. Annaliese here is a succubus who works for a wrestling company over in England that the WWE is starting to partner with. She's going to be traveling with the roster till after WrestleMania in order to learn our ways, you know, get a sense of what our company's like before going back home to report to her bosses."
"I see . . ." Amanda tells her with a stoic look on her face. "Well I hope you don't run into any problems during your time with the WWE. Here's a heads up, beware some of the guys on the roster. They can become quite . . . different when they want to be."
"I'll take your word for it. . ." said Annaliese as she shot my mate a look. "Uh Hunter, I better be getting back to Steph."
"Oh right, she wanted to talk to you about comparing our companies' rosters. . . Well, I guess you know your way back. I'll meet up with you two in a minute," says Hunter as Annaliese began making her way back the way they came. She quickly shoots me one last look before turning the corner and leaving the rest of us to ourselves. "Randy, I'm going to tell you this now so you won't forget it. Someone has their eye on you."
"You got that right . . ." mumbles Amanda as she shakes her head. "And unfortunately, she has some pretty . . . wild thoughts going on in her head."
"Unfortunately for me, I heard them too . . ." says Hunter as he shakes his head. "That girl has a dirty mind . . . But that's what you get when you gain the attention of a succubus. Hopefully she doesn't terrorize the male roster to much with her charms. . . I'll see you guys later."
"See ya . . ." I say with a single wave as Hunter walked back the way he came. I then turn to 'Manda, who still has a disgruntled look on her face as she continued to look down the hall that Annaliese just went through. "You don't like Annaliese do you?"
"With the way she was thinking about you just now, how can I like her?" she asks me with a shake of her head. "Her mental voice is very loud; it's so loud that you can't help but listen and 'see' what she's thinking, even when you tune her out."
"I'm guessing what you saw in her mind was definitely not to your liking?" I ask her with a shake of my head as we continued on to the locker room. "Hunter did just say that Annaliese has a dirty mind, so I'm guessing she was thinking something that was definitely something that shouldn't be seen by children."
"She has a dirty mind alright, a very dirty mind. It was definitely not to my liking at all. I absolutely hated it after all . . . Besides, why would I like seeing the thoughts of a woman and my soulmate in bed doing things that shouldn't be done between the two since he's already in a relationship with another woman, aka, me." she tells me with a deepening scowl, her eyes starting to glow a little red as she spoke. I stayed speechless as she spoke her little rant, never realizing that Annaliese thoughts of me had gone that far, and that Amanda had seen them all.
"Are you okay?" I ask her as I finally find my voice. "You know, after seeing those images?"
"I'm going to need some serious mental mind wash after what I just saw, but other than that, I'll be fine," she tells me as she shakes her head. "Besides, I shouldn't be holding a grudge about it anyway."
"And why not . . .?"
"Simple . . . you're my soulmate. I am yours and you're mine, and nothing can change that," she tells me with a small smirk as we finally reach our locker room. "She can never have you. Nothing can get between the bonds between vampire soulmates right?"
"You are definitely right on that account, my sexy snake mama . . ." I tell her with a smirk before pressing my lips to hers for a kiss. "And by the way, for the record, I was not thinking any inappropriate thoughts of myself and her. None at all!"
"Oh I know . . ." she tells me with a smirk as she uses her powers to open the door. "I checked your mind. Sorry, but I couldn't help myself. I can get quite irritated when I want to be you know. . ."
"I see someone's a bit on the protective side when it comes to their soulmate." I say with a smirk as we walk into our room. It was cute to see her so protective me after all the times I've been protective of her. It was a nice change.
"And you're not?" she asks me with a smirk as I close the door behind us. "If I remember correctly, who tends to get way too overprotective when their mate's in danger?"
"Okay . . . you got me there," I say with a smirk as I pulled her into my arms. "But can you blame me. I can never let another man have you. I love you too much for that."
"And yes, I'll admit it. I can't stand the idea of seeing you with another woman," she tells me in a serious tone of voice as a small smirk comes across her face. "I guess it is official. We are overprotective when it comes to the other person. Agreed?"
"Agreed," I say with a smirk as I kissed her again. ". . . And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way."
Normal POV; Hours later
"So this Annaliese person had some serious, and loud, X-rated thoughts in her mind when Hunter introduced you and Randy to her?" asked Monica as she and Amanda walked away from the curtain area after winning their Divas tag team dark match against Summer Rae and Cameron.
"Yep . . ." said Amanda as she shook her head. "She has no idea I'm a psychic though, so she had no idea I could hear her thoughts. I have a feeling this succubus will have a creative mind in regards to some of the male talent on the roster these next few months."
"Like Randy?" asked Monica as a small smirk came across her face.
"Including Randy . . ." Amanda reluctantly said as the two turned a corner. "But since she knows that Randy and I are soulmates, with kids, I have a feeling the furthest she'll go is thinking dirty thoughts about my man. . . Besides, you shouldn't be looking so smug sis. Annaliese may think dirty thoughts about Wade too, or worse, go after him and make him a part of her male harem or something."
"How could you be so sure?" asked Monica as she raised an eyebrow at her older sister.
"Because she may think Wade is cute and a potential prospect to get to know, if you know what I mean . . . He has been really been improving his workout routing these past few weeks and we've both have seen the results," said Amanda as she shook her head. "And plus, she's right down the hall flirting with your man as we speak."
Monica's eyes went wide in shock as she turned to look down the hall. Her eyes went straight to Annaliese and Wade, the British succubus' eyes looking slightly predatory as she flirted with the British werewolf. Wade was responding to her, but was looking uncomfortable the entire time, his eyes going everywhere but her face as he continued to answer her questions. Monica shook her head before letting out a loud sigh that Wade easily heard with his advanced hearing. He turned to see the twins looking at him from down the hall, his eyes growing wide eyed as he spotted Monica staring straight at him. Annaliese turned to see them staring at them and quickly excused herself, a slight scowl coming across her face as she turned to walk down the hall.
"Care to explain yourself Mr.?" asked Monica as Wade quickly jogged over to them with an apologetic look on her face. "Before you say anything, let me ask you this: You do know Annaliese is a succubus right?"
"What?" Wade asked her in slight shock as they began walking to craft services. ". . . Now I do! No wonder she was dressed so . . . suggestively. . ."
"How long has she been . . . flirting with you?" asked Monica as she raised an eyebrow. She didn't look angry at all, just curious to know what his answer would be.
"She started flirting with me when you two were halfway through your match," said Wade as he shook his head. "I tried to avoid a conversation with her, but she proved to be very insistent. She just wouldn't stop talking and trying to flirt with me. I told her I was already in a relationship with someone else, but she didn't appear to care."
"Yeah . . . we could tell from the scowl she had on her face before she left," said Amanda as she shook her head. "She has a very loud mind, and I was able to see what her . . . romantic life is like."
"You did?" asked Monica as Wade shot her a curious look. "Do tell . . ."
"I will, once we get to craft services . . ." said Amanda as she shook her head. "And Wade, stop worrying about whether or not Monica is mad at you because Annaliese flirted with you. She's not really the jealous type."
"My thoughts are that loud aren't they?" asked Wade as he looked at the twins sheepishly.
"They're so loud that even I can hear them, and when it comes to psychic powers, I'm the weaker twin . . ." said Monica as she turned to her boyfriend. "And Amanda is right Wade. I'm not the kind of girl that gets really jealous. I'll get angry, but only if there's a good reason for it."
"And you seeing a complete stranger blatantly and insistently flirt with your boyfriend doesn't make you angry?" asked Wade in slight shock as Monica wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Not at all . . . and can you guess why?" asked Monica as a smirk came across her face. Wade shook his head no in response, having no clue on what Monica's answer could be. "It's simple really . . . I don't consider Annaliese competition at all."
Sensing what her sister was about to do next, Amanda turned away just as Monica pressed her lips to Wade's, giving the werewolf couple their privacy as they began making out in the middle of the hallway. She completely tuned them out until they were done, and when she turned back around at the sounds of lips separating, she saw the couple looking into each other's eyes like a couple of love-struck teenagers.
"Are we going to craft services, or should I just leave you two here so that you two can make out again?" asked the Anaconda as she began making her way down the hallway, not even bothering to wait for their answer.
"We're coming, we're coming . . ." said Monica as she took hold of the still dazed Wade's hand in her own and quickly followed after her. "And don't worry Wade. We'll continue our fun later."
"I hope so . . ." said the British werewolf with a smile as the three turned and walked into the craft services room. They made their way over to their usual group of friends, all of them crowding around one of the larger tables in the room.
"Hey guys . . ." said John as the three walked over to them. "Randy here was just talking about his encounter with that Annaliese girl just now before you guys showed up."
"You ran into her again?" Amanda asked him with an eyebrow raised as she sat down next to her mate. Randy shook his head yes as he cradled Gabriella in his arms. Lita was currently holding Daniella in her arms. "Did she try to flirt with you?"
"You have no idea . . ." said Randy as he rolled his eyes. "She's very insistent. She already knows that I'm a dad and I'm in a relationship, but she still tried to flirt with me. And here's the best part: I saw her flirting with Rollins and Ziggler before she moved on to me."
"Please don't tell me this Annaliese person is a succubus . . ." grumbled Alicia as she shook her head. Amanda and Monica shook their heads yes, which made the shape-shifter just shake her head back in disbelief. "Yep it's official. We have another succubus in our ranks. Divas: watch out for your men. I have a good feeling this Annaliese person is a prolific flirt."
"She's already flirted with Randy, Rollins, Ziggler, and her most recent victim was Wade. We found her flirting with him when we were coming back from the ring," said Monica as she sat down on Wade's lap. "Sis, you said that you managed to see what Annaliese relationship life was like. . . Care to tell us what you found?"
"Certainly . . . I was only able to see a few things, but they did tell a lot," said Amanda as Lita handed her Daniella. "From what I gathered, Annaliese has a long history of being one of those flirty kind of succubus, you know, the ones that put an emphasis on being flirtatious to their victims before . . . really having fun with them, if you know what I mean. When it comes to Annaliese, her usual victims are werewolves and guys already in relationships."
"Werewolves and guys already in relationships?" asked Cody as he raised an eyebrow. "That girl is just asking for trouble then."
"You're telling us . . ." grumbled Layla as she shook her head. "We have a good amount of male werewolves on the roster, and over half of them are already in relationships. That Annaliese girl is going to have a field day during her time here. . . Uh, how long is Annaliese going to be here anyway?"
"Hunter said she's going to be here till after WrestleMania . . ." said Randy as he shook his head. "Which means she'll be flirting with guys around here for quite a while . . ."
"She better be careful then . . ." said Lita as she let out a small growl. "If she doesn't watch herself, she may flirt with the wrong wrestler and get his girl quite angry."
"Are you talking about yourself Lita?" Edge asked her with a smirk on his face as he turned to her. "It's okay if you don't like Annaliese. After listening to what Amanda just said, I don't think anyone at this table blames you for the way you are feeling right now."
"I guess things are going to get a lot more interesting with Annaliese around these next couple of months," mumbled Kelly as she looked around the room. "Uh, has anyone seen Ted?"
"He's coming into the room right now . . ." said Amanda as she spotted him at the entrance, along with a familiar coming right behind him. "Along with the lady of the hour. . ."
"That's This Annaliese girl you were talking about?" asked Edge as he raised an eyebrow. "I got to admit. She sure dresses like a succubus."
"Hey guys!" said Ted as he joined the group and sat down next to Kelly. Once he wrapped his arm around the mermaid's shoulders, he looked over his shoulder to see Annaliese with a small scowl on her face before she backtracked and walked out the room, mumbling something about how the men in this company were all taken already. "She does not sound happy does she?"
"No she does not, and she probably won't stop her antics until she has to leave, or until she goes through every single wrestler in this company . . ." mumbled Layla as she rested her head on Sheamus' shoulder.
"Uh . . . how long is she going to be here?" mumbled Ted as he looked at the group warily.
"Until after WrestleMania . . ." said Randy as he played around with Gabi's little fingers.
"Aw man . . ." mumbled the multi-generation wrestler as he shook his head. "Has she tried to flirt with any of you guys yet?"
"She's flirted with Randy and me, as well as Rollins and Ziggler . . ." answered Wade as he rubbed circles along Monica's back. "And she'll probably flirt with every single male in this company, whether they're in a relationship or not."
"Well that's just great . . ." mumbled Ted as he shook his head. "This is probably going to be worse than the time I got chased by Lucy."
"You got chased by a girl named Lucy?" asked Kelly as she raised an eyebrow at her beau.
"No . . ." said Ted as he shook his head. "Lucy was a Pomeranian who always chased me when she saw me when I was a little kid. She was owned by a neighbor of my parents and every time she saw me, she chased me. She always chased me. . ."
"Is that why you're afraid of Pomeranians?" asked Kaitlyn as Cody tried to hold back a laugh.
"I'm not afraid of Pomeranians . . . They just make me uncomfortable," mumbled Ted as he turned around to come face to face of a photo of a Pomeranian, making him yell out a sharp yell as he fell out of his chair, much to the enjoyment of the rest of the group. When Ted looked up he saw Sheamus waving his phone in the air, the photo of the Pomeranian still there on screen. "You are evil Sheamus . . . EVIL!"
"I'm only evil when I want to be . . ." said the Irish superstar as he pocketed his phone. ". . . And don't you forget it."
