SmackDown Filming: February 19, 2013

Randy kissed my forehead. "I love you."

I sigh. "I love you too."

Randy sighed as well before pulling me close. "I wish we could just go home."

"You win this match, and we can after that."

"I can beat Jack Swagger easily, so I'll beat him. We can go home as soon as I'm done."

"Thanks. I'm so hungry right now."

"Do we need to go to Catering?"

"I don't think they have what I'm craving."

"What are you craving?"

"Honestly, ice cream."

"Ice cream?"

"Yeah, I know it's super cold out, but that's what sounds good."

"Okay, I'll get ice cream for you when we leave."

I smile. "Thanks, babe."

Randy kissed my forehead. "I think you need to get some food from Catering. It'll hold you off for now."

I nod. "Yeah, you're right."

Randy gets up. "Let's go get some food."

I follow him to get up. Randy extended his hand. I grabbed it. We walked out of our locker-room to go get Catering.

Randy and I grabbed our food and sat at our own table in a corner of Catering.

"Do you remember when we always had friends to sit with in here?" I ask quietly.

Randy grabbed my hand as I started to eat. "We still have friends. None of them are in here."

"Yeah but…but I feel like I have less and less friends here all the time. It sucks."

Randy kissed my hand. "Babe, are you getting nostalgic?"

I shrug. "Maybe a little. I think I just miss having a lot of friends."

Randy sighs. "But when you have a lot of friends, how many are truly your friends?"

"Fair enough, but I'm not so sure how many friends I have anymore at all, period."

Randy nodded. "I hear you, Rissa. You'll always have me."

"But you're much more than a friend."

"Because I'm your lover." Randy winks at me.

"We're married. I'm not sure lover is the word to use."

"I'm your lover too."

"Whatever."

"Bitch." Daniel mutters as he walks past our table.

Randy goes to follow Daniel to confront him, but I grab his arm to stop him. Randy looks at me.

"Don't worry about it." I comment.

"Did you hear what he said?" Randy asks.

"I heard, but nothing you can do is going to change his opinion. I'm not worried about it."

"He's still got a lot of nerve to say that. When was the last time you even spoke to him?"

"Um…I think it was over six months ago when he ran his mouth about you being suspended. If there was a time after, I don't remember."

Randy nodded. "Well, he can go to hell."

I sighed as I gave Randy a serious look. "I know he upset you, but I'm sure he'll get what's coming to him."

Randy kissed my forehead. "Oh, he better. You know I get a tad overprotective of you at times."

I raise an eyebrow. "A tad?"

Randy shrugs. "Okay, maybe I'm very overprotective at times."

"At times? You've always been super overprotective, even before we were dating. Plus, it's been much more since I've been pregnant."

"And I don't regret it, sweetheart."

I nod. "Alright then. Will you promise that you won't let Daniel's comment ruin a good mood today?"

"Only if you don't say anything if I happen to be extra harsh the next time I wrestle against him."

"You've got yourself a deal, Mr. Orton."

"Glad to know we've come to an agreement, Mrs. Orton."

I smile. "Of course, Randal."

"Is your food good?"

"Good enough for now. What about yours?"

Randy shrugs. "I've had better."

I nod as I look at the time. "It's about time for you to go for your match."

"I know. Hopefully, I'll keep it short."

"I'd appreciate that, even though I do love watching you wrestle."

Randy smirks. "Of course, Rissa. I understand. Believe me, you'll see the Legend Killer do what he does best."

"The Legend Killer, huh? Haven't heard that one in a while."

"Just because it isn't said much anymore means that I'm not still the Legend Killer, sweetheart."

"I wouldn't know. I only have one moniker. That being the Queen of Chaos. I'm not you. You've got the Legend Killer, the Viper, the Apex Predator, hell, there may be another one that I'm forgetting."

"There's not. You have two though."

"What are you talking about?"

"There were people calling you the Viperess. Personally, I quite like that one."

"A small group of fans called me that. The company has always stuck to the Queen of Chaos."

"Well, when you get back on TV, whether it's as my manager or as a wrestler, I'll harass them to use it."

"Whatever. You really need to go."

"Yeah, I do. See you later."

"Good luck."

Randy smirks at me before heading out to have his match against Jack Swagger.


I lay next to Randy in bed. "You won two out of three matches this week. Congratulations."

Randy shrugs. "Should've been all three."

"You should stop being so hard on yourself."

"I'm just saying it should've been."

"Are we ever going to actually talk about it?"

"I figured you didn't want to."

I sighed. "I do. I'm just having a hard time processing everything. Do you know what I mean?"

"I think I do to a small extent."

I nod. "A small extent?"

"I mean I don't fully understand because I never went through something so horrible with a parent like you did. I mean I was around when it happened to your dad, Richard, but he wasn't my dad. I could never fully understand what it did to you and Tyler. I adored your dad, but I was nowhere near as close to him as you were obviously. I saw what you were like for a while after though, and I see how you are about it now. I know it had a major effect on you. I remember our conversation a little after it happened."

I nod. "That conversation changed my life forever, so I'll never forget it."

"I know how it affected you at twenty-one with your dad to an extent. I don't even think I can fathom how what just happened affects her."

"All we can do is be there for her. Take it from me, it's not going to be something that is easily able to be put to the back of her mind."

"I know." Randy pulled me close.

I smiled as we laid together in absolute silence.
