Beautiful
Chapter 1
Karen Somers was walking back stage at the
Karen worked for the World Wrestling
Entertainment, the WWE was one of the biggest professional wrestling
companies...Karen was the personal assistant for Eric Bischoff...She used to be
Vince McMahon’s PA for 2 years but Vince was doing less lately and wanted her
to actually get paid a good salary for all her hard work.
Karen walked into Eric’s office and he greeted her
with one of his big toothy grins...She’d been working for him for a week
now...and he wasn’t even close to the character he played on TV. She walked in and handed him the folder he
had requested on the new wrestlers that had been going to OVW (
Eric said, “Since you didn’t get a chance to meet
everyone...I’m assuming you know Lisa Marie (
Karen took off to the catering room...when she
stepped into the room she heard a loud squealing, “NEEEERRRRAAKKKK!!!!” Karen automatically busted out in a big
smile, when she heard her cousin use her nickname as Lisa went running over and
pulled her into a huge hug...Everyone in catering just watched the scene
unfold.
The two ladies just started talking like they had
been old friends from back in the day. Lisa’s boyfriend Tyson Tomko knew her
obviously because he pulled her into a huge bear hug. Lisa showed Karen around and let her meet all
the superstars, and then the last one was walking past them, when Lisa said,
“Randy...C’mere real quick.” Randy
walked over and said, “Hey Lis what’s up?”
Lisa said, “I wanted you to meet Eric’s new
PA...She’s my cousin...Karen this is Randy Orton...Randy my cousin Karen
Somers.” Randy shook her hand and Karen
said, “I’ve seen him in action...Very impressive.” Randy said, “Yea...It would be more
impressive if they would get my damn script right...they’ve changed it 4 times
already in the last hour...Look it was nice meeting you...but I gotta run.”
Karen watched as he walked away...And said,
“Wow...Rude much?” Lisa said, “Most of
the guys are in a bigger hurry then we are...don’t take it personal...Randy
just broke up with his girlfriend...chances are he’s still in a bad mood from
it.” Karen said, “Sure, cause when you
break up with you loved one it gives you the right to be a dick...Whatever you
say Lisa.” Lisa smiled and said, “Yea,
Bite me.” The girls laughed as they
continued down the hallway...
Chapter 2
Later that night, Tyson and Lisa left...Karen was
the only one practically left in the arena other then the back stage crew...She
gathered up her things and pushed then into her back pack with her
laptop...except the folder she had to keep out and unbent...Nice and
clean. She stepped out of her office and
suddenly dropped the folder and the papers in it.
She wasn’t looking anywhere but at the paper pile
on the ground as she squatted down and started retrieving the papers...she
heard someone talking coming towards her, but didn’t realize how close until
they were standing on her paperwork...
She looked up...it was Mr. Rude himself...Randy
Orton...He was bitching at someone on his cell phone as he stopped to listen and
give his rude opinion and Karen said, “Umm, Excuse me.” Randy brushed her off with a wave of his hand
as he continue talking.
Karen would smell the Obsession men’s cologne he
was wearing and was getting high from it...She tugged on his pant leg and said,
“Excuse me...” Randy kicked out his leg
and caught her ring finger of her left hand and she yelped at the sting...
She finally couldn’t take it any more and her
finger was throbbing and turning blue and she couldn’t get the ass off her
paperwork...she slammed her fist down on his dress shoe covered foot and
listened as a string of cuss words came flying out of his mouth as his cell
phone flew across the hall and his bag was dropped...
Thank God not on her papers.
Karen watched as he bounced on one foot, while
holding the one she smashed...She got all her papers up and then it started
Randy said, “What the fuck is you’re problem lady?”
Karen stood
up and said, “My problem asshole is you come walking down the hall bitching on
your phone and didn’t have enough brains in that tiny ass head of yours too
look around or pay attention to someone else who was in the
hallway...namely...ME...You were standing on the damn contracts for next
week...I said excuse me twice and the second time...you god damn kicked me...So
sue me Junior.”
Karen started to walk away and Randy said, “Are
you always this big of a bitch when you first start working in a company?” Karen stopped and said, “I’ve been working
for this company a lot longer then you ya schmuck...and I get paid a whole hell
of a lot better then you and I don’t have to make a fuckin ass of myself out in
public.”
Randy said, “No you’re doing just fine at being a
fuckin bitch right now. Someone would
think you was on your fuckin period with your attitude lady...Jesus I can see
making friend isn’t going to be your strong point...To bad you’re ugly as an
office maiden you could make is some what as a bitch Diva...if you were at
least pretty.”
Randy felt the sting in his cheek before he saw
her hand coming...She said, “You’re the biggest asshole I’ve ever met in my
life...” Randy watched as she snapped
around on her heeled boots and walked away...he couldn’t believe he’d just said
that...she was anything far from ugly...she was beautiful...Damn why did he let
his ex get under his skin like that...Every time they talked on the phone
someone had been the victim of his nasty mouth and bad attitude...He was
definitely gonna have to apologize to the new girl the next time he saw
her...She was right...he was an asshole.
Karen got back to the hotel and crashed in a
bathtub with warm water and bubbles...trying to get that creep out of her
head...
She couldn’t imagine what else to expect.
Chapter 3
- -1 Month Later- -
Karen was hard at work in her office...She was working
on her laptop...She couldn’t believe the run in she’d had with that pompous ass
Randy Orton 4 weeks ago...What a jerk!
If she saw him again tonight she was going to give him a piece of her
mind and maybe another slap to jolt his head out of his ass!
First off why would she ever want to see that
jackass again...and second...wait a damn minute...why was she even letting some
jerk off get to her in the first place.
Damn it...Why did Randy Orton have to be so fuckin cute?
Karen had gotten a promotion since 4 weeks
ago...They’d moved her up to being a script censor, so she had to go through
all the scripts, censors save them on disk, print them out and then hand them
out before Raw started. She was
currently working on the scripts for the next week.
Someone knocked on her door...She looked over the
rim of her thin black framed glasses and said, “C’mon in.” Karen screwed up her face as she watched
Randy Orton walk into her office and he had a serious look on her face. Karen stood up and crossed her arms over her
chest and said, “What brings you to my office Mr. Orton?”
Randy threw his hands in front of him...she was
already to fight with him again...Randy had to exhale...The dark colored jeans
she had on were hugging her hips and the white laced tank top she had on fit
her nicely...She had a sweater covering her shoulders and her dark hair was
pulled into a bun again. He could hear
the clicking of her heals as she walked around and leaned against her desk.
Randy said, “Listen...I know we got off on the
wrong foot...And I know it’s my fault I was a complete dickhead...I just wanted
to come and apologize and introduce myself to you properly.” Karen looked at him and said, “Are you for
real?” Randy said, “I swear...I was pissed
at my ex-girlfriend because she was being a bitch...and I took it out on you.”
Karen said, “Ex-girlfriend...If she has that much
effect on your life...it’s probably a good thing she’s you’re ex...Because that
doesn’t sound like a healthy relationship.”
Randy said, “No it wasn’t...There wasn’t any trust...and it made us both
insecure about the other one...Listen, I have to go get ready for my match, I
was wondering if I could take you to lunch tomorrow to make up my crap behavior
4 weeks ago.”
Karen said, “I don’t know Mr. Orton...I don’t get
involved with co-workers.” Randy smirked
and said, “Please call me Randy...You say Mr. Orton and I looked for my dad or
Grandfather.” Karen smiled and said,
“Okay Randy...I’ll have to think about that lunch tomorrow.” Randy smiled one of his million dollar smiles
and said, “I’ll come get your answer when Raw is over...deal?”
Karen laughed and said, “Okay Deal.” Randy shook her hand as he walked out of the
office and closed the door to let her do her work...Karen smiled as she sat
back behind her desk and thought, ‘Okay so maybe Randy Orton isn’t as bad as I
first thought.’
He’s certainly still as gorgeous as he was 4 weeks
ago!
Chapter 4
Lisa walked into Karen’s office and saw her cousin
hard at work.
Karen looked up and over the rim of her glasses
and said, “Something I can help you with pain in the ass?”
Lisa smirked and said, “So rumor has it that Randy
asked you to go to lunch with him tomorrow...Any particular reason why you’d
not tell your very favorite cousin in the world?” Karen said, “He only asked me an hour ago to
which we agreed I’d give him my answer after the show...This is the first time
I saw you tonight.”
Lisa said, “Sure...you’ve started some hot and
sweaty relationship with one of the hottest punks on the roster and didn’t even
tell me...What’s up with that?” Karen
rolled her eyes and said, “If you don’t get out of my office right now...I’m
gonna throw you out.” Lisa giggled and
said, “That’s fine, I have to go find Tyson anyways...” Karen said, “Yea...go slobber with your boy
toy.” Lisa stuck her tongue out at Karen
and pulled the door closed.
An hour later there was a knock on the door. No one answered, the door opened slowly as
Randy poked his head in...He noticed Karen had curled her feet under her and
had fallen asleep in the chair with her sweater covering her arms...
Randy couldn’t help but stare she looked so
innocent.
Lisa and Tyson were walking by and saw the back half
of Randy hanging out of her cousins office...Lisa tapped him on the shoulder as
Randy backed out of the room and Lisa said, “What are you doing?”
Randy pointed into the room...Lisa looked over and
said, “Damn...Karen’s insomnia finally let her sleep.” She looked at Tyson, who smirked as he walked
in and Lisa grabbed Karen’s bag.
Randy watched as Tyson carefully scoped the raven
haired beauty in his arms...she cuddled against his chest and mumbled a ‘Thank
you Tyson’...Tyson chuckled a little with Lisa...
Randy said, “How’d she know?” Lisa smiled and said, “She’s been making a
habit of falling asleep at the arena’s...She’s got really bad insomnia...and it
seems that it’s been giving her rest on Mondays...So She knows Tyson has been
the one to carry her to the car.”
Randy said, “Why the insomnia?” Lisa said, “Don’t know really...she’s had it
since she was like 14 or 15...Just something she can’t get rid off...on her
days off...she takes sleeping pills to get about 12 hours of sleep
in...Sometimes more...She’s been to a few sleep therapists...but nothing really
seems to help...Hopefully she’ll find another one to go to.”
Randy walked out to the parking garage with them
as he walked over to his ride with Dave Bautista and Paul Levesque. Randy said, “I’ll stop by tomorrow and see if
she wants to go to lunch. Lisa nodded as
they loaded Karen into the SUV and took off for the hotel.
Paul said, “Got a thing for the script censor
Orton?” Randy said, “Nah man...but then
again she is beautiful.”
Did Randy have a thing for the raven haired
beauty? Only time would tell.
Chapter 5
The next morning, Karen had gotten a call from
Randy and he asked her to join him and one of his friends a fellow wrestler
from Smackdown for lunch...Karen agreed and was busying herself with a shower
and getting ready...
When she stepped out of the bathroom she had on
Royal blue cargo capri’s with white ankle socks, matching blue sneakers, and a
Shirt form fitting white t-shirt...She pulled her hair up in a bun and stabbed
a couple of blue chop sticks in it to keep it in place.
Lisa and Tyson watched as Karen primped in front
of the mirror...and she saw them watching her in the mirror she looked over and
said, “What?” Lisa said, “Well, At least
I got you out of the room so I could get laid.”
Karen threw a waded up tissue at her bright eyed cousin and said, “Lisa
Marie don’t be foul.” Tyson busted out
laughing as a knock came on the door...Tyson got up and walked into the living
area to answer the door.
Lisa stood next to Karen and said, “You know
something...you don’t need to doll yourself up to land a man...You could do it
bare nekkid in the middle of winter.”
Karen laughed as she said, “Yea, but only because I’d be naked and
frozen from head to toe and wouldn’t be able to run from Goober and
Gomer.” Both girls laughed as Karen
said, “I feel like these pants make my ass fat.”
Lisa yelled, “TYSON!!!! She said it again!” Karen squealed as Tyson came running into the
room...she jumped on the bed and dodged him and said, “Lisa Marie, I can’t
believe you’d sick your own boyfriend on your defenseless cousins.” As Karen continued to run from Tyson.
Randy stuck his head in the bedroom and watched as
Tyson tried to capture his raven haired lunch date who was bouncing back and forth
between beds while ripping cuss words at her cousin, who seemed to be laughing
her ass off. He watched as Tyson finally
grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder and carried her out into the living
area and said, “Here you go Randy...You’re over hyper lunch date.”
Tyson leaned down and carefully placed Karen on
her feet in front of Randy...She turned 3 shades of red...she was so
embarrassed that he’d seen what was going on between the loving family
members. Lisa walked out and said,
“Randy I thought you was bringing a friend from Smackdown?”
As if on cue there was a knock on the door and
Randy said, “That’s probably him, he was running late.” Randy walked over and opened the door and
said, “C’mon in man...you’re right on time.”
A familiar voice said, “Hey man, what’s up.”
Karen turned around and said, “Oh my God!” John Cena walked into the hotel room and as
soon as he heard the voice his head snapped up and just as a joke he said,
“No...But you are close.” A smiled
spread across John’s face as she ran over and jumped in his arms. Randy watched as the raven haired beauty
jumped on his best friend and he twirled her in circles.
Karen smacked John’s arm and said, “What the hell
are you doing here?” John smiled his
dimple filled smile and said, “Smackdown is here tonight...so I figured I’d go
to lunch with one of my buddy’s and he said I had to meet this girl who slapped
him into place...How’d I know it was you?”
Karen smiled and said, “Shut up...You suck...Do you not know how to call
people back?”
John shrugged his shoulders and said, “Hey...When
I’m getting my freak on with some hottie who wants John Cena...I don’t stop to
talk with anyone...Ah-ha.”
Karen rolled her eyes and laughed at him.
Randy said, “Time out...How do you two know each
other?”
Karen smiled and said, “I went to
Lisa walked up and said, “Thus starting a
beautiful friendship...They’ve been friends forever now.” John said, “5 years...So my buddy old pal
Randall...What did you do to get her attention and piss her off?”
Randy said, “Let’s eat some grub first, then I’ll
explain.” Lisa hugged Karen and said,
“Have fun Nerak...But ya know...Not TOO much fun.” Karen smiled and walked out with the guys.
Chapter 6
Two hours later, the three were still sitting at
the restaurant having already eaten and were telling stories back and
forth...Randy laughed as he watched the interaction between John and Karen and
was almost a little jealous at their friendship...Almost.
John had just finished hearing how Randy met and
pissed off Karen and said, “Damn...I always knew our mouths were gonna write a
check our asses couldn’t cash...” Randy
said, “Okay...I heard Lisa say this...what is Nerak?”
Karen laughed and said, “It’s my nick name...It’s
from a REALLY old Disney movie about a girl named Karen who went missing...and
when her ghost or spirit haunts these two girls they get a dog and her spirit tells
the sister to name the dog Nerak...which is Karen spelled backwards...It’s so
lame...I can’t believe she gave me a dog’s nickname...but she’s been calling me
that since I was 10.”
John said, “Speaking of Nerak and Karen...Why do
you have your hair up? You used to hate
your hair up.” Randy jumped in with,
“I’ve not seen her with her hair down yet...Every time I see her she’s got it
up in a bun like now.” John said, “You
know all that weight on the back of your neck is going to give you a tension headache.”
Karen smiled and said, “I know I know...I just
don’t like it down when it’s windy cause it goes all over and you know I’m too
stubborn to cut my hair.” John pointed
to Randy and said, “So you haven’t seen her hair?” Karen said, “Excuse me it’s not a National
Treasure.” John said, “Yea...Says you.”
Randy paid the check as the three some stepped
into the parking lot and John said, “C’mon...you can’t deny the boy the
hair.” Karen threw a glare at John and
Randy said, “Yea...C’mon...I’ve got to see it now.” Karen turned and glared at them both...and
said, “If you two only understood how long it takes me to get it up like
this...”
John said, “Blah, Blah, Blah...Just drop the hair
woman!”
Karen growled from the back of her throat as she
turned away from then and they both watched as she reached up and pulled the
blue chop sticks out of her hair and then watched in amazement when her raven
hair slowly unrolled from it’s bun and fell in long waves down her back,
hugging her hips and waist and rest just below her bottom. Randy was almost scared to touch her
hair...it looked like a river of the black plague flowing down her back.
John said, “Now that’s what I’m talking
about.” Randy said, “Tell me again why
you don’t leave your hair down...It’s beautiful...from top to bottom...it’s
absolutely breath taking.” Karen said,
“It’s just hair...besides I need to have the dead ends taken off.” John said, “As long as you don’t have too
much taken off.” Karen smirked and said,
“You know already...3 inches max.”
When they got back to the hotel...John said, “Are
you coming to the show later?” Karen
shook her head no and said, “Lisa, Tyson and I have a flight back to Boston at
4...So call me when you get home tomorrow please...Don’t let 6 months pass
again with out at least a phone call.”
John saw the look in her eyes...and said,
“Insomnia getting bad?” Karen nodded and
said, “Of course...I actually got to sleep last night...but it won’t
last.” John pulled her in for a huge hug
and Randy noticed the unshed tears in Karen’s eyes as John held her like her
life depended on it. Randy was now more
curious then he was before about her insomnia...and why she looked like she was
losing John forever.
Randy watched as John kissed her forehead and then
Karen walked up to him as she stood on her tip toes and kissed his cheek and
said, “Thanks for lunch Randy...I had a really nice time...I’ll see you Friday
for the weekend house shows.” Randy
smiled and nodded as she pulled her key card out and opened the door and was
whisked away with Lisa and Tyson, doing God knows what in the hotel room.
John looked at Randy and said, “You like her don’t
you?” Randy didn’t have to say the
words, he just nodded and John said, “I’m warning you now...Don’t playboy
around on her Orton...She’s the closest thing I have to a little sister. She’s been hurt in the past...big time...So
if you’re going to keep the playboy image...please...Please...for the sake of
Karen’s heart and soul...leave her be.”
Randy nodded in acknowledgement as the duo walked
back down to their rooms continuing random conversations. Randy just wished he could figure out what
hold Karen had over him.
Chapter 7
Wednesday Morning, there was a knock on Karen’s
apartment door...Since her apartment was across the hall from Lisa and
Tyson...She figured it was one of them.
Karen in her blue lace tank top and matching boy short panties and her
hair hanging down.
Imagine her surprise when she pulls the door open
without checking the peep hole first and finds Randy Orton staring back at
her. Karen squealed out of surprise and
slammed the door shut...Karen was leaning against the door and she could hear
Randy laughing on the other side of the door...He knocked and said, “C’mon
Karen open up.”
Karen said, “What are you doing here?” Through the door. Randy laughed a little more and said, “C’mon
I refuse to talk with you through the door...”
Karen snatched a robe off her bed and pulled it on and tied it as she
opened the door again. Karen said,
“Fine...Now what are you doing here?”
Randy smiled softly and said, “Don’t be mad but
John gave me you’re address and since we’ve both got the same days off, I
figured I’d come and take you away for the day.” Karen chewed her bottom lip and said, “Why?” Randy said, “I have to have a reason? I can’t just be doing something nice?” Karen shrugged her shoulders and Randy said,
“Can I at least come in and plead my case?”
Randy watched as she mulled things over in her
head and then slowly stepped aside as he walked in and she said, “Go ahead and
sit.” Randy said, “I’d rather stand to
plead my case...I just want you to listen ok?”
Karen sat on her feet on her couch and leaned against the arm rest and
said, “Fair enough...Which ever way you’re most comfortable.”
Randy walked around a little and then walked over
to the end of the couch and as he squatted down he said, “Look...I’m going to
just cut right to the chase...I am very attracted to you...and I know I don’t
know you like John does...but I would very much like to be given a chance...A
serious holding nothing back chance...”
Karen was shocked at first and said, “Randy we
don’t even know each other.” Randy said,
“Yea, but that’s why I’m here today...I want to get to know you...There is
something about you, that I just can’t put my finger on...You’re intelligent,
quick tongued, I mean c’mon you put me in my place...No one has ever done that
to me...Plus, God you’re beautiful.”
Karen said, “Me?
Beautiful? Are you sure you’re
not looking for the blonde bombshell down on the forth floor? I mean she’s even got the fake tities...And
I’m sure you could take her sailing or something because if she fell over board
she’d have the perfect floating devises.”
Randy sighed heavily as he stood up and grabbed her
hand and said, “C’mon...Show me where there’s a full length mirror
somewhere.” Karen said, “Down at the end
of the hall in my bedroom.”
Randy practically dragged her down the hall and
then turned the light on to find the room covered in red velvet material, thick
drapes covering the huge windows, the material covering her huge four poster
bed and a huge blanket across her bed.
All Randy could think was wow, red velvet that’s
kind of different and pretty erotic. He
pulled Karen around to stand in front of him, he was almost a good foot taller
then her then he grabbed her waist and pulled her back tight against his chest
as he said, “Tell me what you see?”
Karen said, “Me and you? Is this
a pop quiz?”
Chapter 8
Randy reached in front of her and pushed her hair
behind her ears and reached over and tugged on the belt to the robe she had on
and she gasped as it fell open to his eyes.
Randy watched as she blushed from nearly head to
toe. Randy smiled a little and said,
“Calm down...I’m not going to do anything to you to embarrass you.” Karen said, “You just did.” Randy said, “But why...You’re got a great
body, you should show it off...Do you not realize you could give EVERY Diva on
both Smackdown and Raw rosters a run for their money...Not in the wrestling
sense but in the you’ve got a great body and could blow those snotty bitches
away.”
Karen said, “Watch it, one of those snotty bitches
is my cousin.” Randy said, “Sorry, No
offense intended. I mean what do you
think when you look at yourself right now?”
Karen chewed her bottom lip as she looked sideways in the mirror at
herself and said, “This is as soon as it’s going to get.” Randy rested his forehead against her shoulder
and having him touch her was almost her undoing.
Randy walked over and sat on the foot of her bed
and said, “Regardless of what you think about your self...I’m telling you right
now...Everything about you intrigues me...and I want to know Every thing about
you...I want to get to know every part of you.”
Karen got to close to Randy and he grabbed her
hand and pulled her to stand between his legs, he lifted her shirt up a little
and placed a soft kiss next to her navel and noticed she had her navel
pierced. Karen felt her insides get warm
and her cheeks flamed, because she couldn’t believe he’d just kissed her some
place intimate.
Randy said, “I even want to know where your
ticklish spots are.” His hands slid down
the back of her thighs as they lightly touched the soft skin behind her knees
and he felt her jump, Randy chuckled and said, “And apparently that’s one of
the places.”
Randy pushed her back a little and stood up to
face her and said, “I want to kiss you from head to toe and watch you blush
when I kiss some of your intimate places on your body...I want to savor the
taste of your skin on my tongue and feel the burn on my lips.” Randy stared at her deep ocean colored blue
eyes.
There had never been anyone in his life that made
him want to lose control so much as Karen did.
He touched her soft lips with his finger tips as he slowly leaned down
and brushed his lips across her lips softly...when her lips responded to the
touch, Randy gently kissed her.
When he pulled away she had a blush creeping into
her cheeks and almost couldn’t get enough of it. Randy said, “Do me a favor...Just give me a
chance...Please.” His pleading blue eyes
were almost too much for her...and after that kiss, who would’ve been able to
resist Randy Orton?
No one that’s who.
Randy watched as she slowly nodded her head yes,
as he told her to get dressed and he’d wait for her in the living room. When she joined him clothed, he took her to
break fast and they spent most of the day walking around a beautiful
park...he’d asked her permission to hold her hand while they were walking,
Naturally she blushed first, but then held out her hand as he took it in his
and laced their fingers together.
The rest of the day was definitely a memorable
one.
Chapter 9
Karen flopped down on the hotel bed...damn she was
beat. After her Wednesday and Thursday
outing with Randy, plus the Friday, Saturday and Sunday house shows...she
wasn’t really looking forward to Monday Night Raw. It was a good thing she was 2 weeks ahead on
the scripts...She’d definitely be taking it easy tonight at the arena.
Wednesday’s outing with Randy was absolutely the
most fun she’d had in years...He took her to the theme park in Boston. They walked around a little, rode some rides
and laughed a lot.
By the time Randy took her home, she was so tired;
she’d fallen asleep in his SUV rental.
He called Lisa and she unlocked Karen’s apartment door as Randy carried
the tiny raven haired woman up to the elevator to the 8th floor and
then proceeded to carry her back into her bedroom and lay her across her bed.
Karen woke up Thursday with no memory of what had
transpired the night before not believing she’d actually fallen asleep for a
full night...She also woke up to knocking on her bedroom door, she couldn’t
imagine who it was, but was pleasantly surprised to see Randy standing there
with breakfast and said Lisa had let him in of course after cussing his soul to
hell for waking her up.
After breakfast and a quick shower they were off
to the park down the street...they sat in the grass all day talking and getting
to know each other.
Now it was Monday, Karen was staring at the
ceiling...She just couldn’t get over how much fun she had with Randy both
days. Karen knew it was coming...It was
inevitable...She was going to have to tell Randy the real reason she had
Insomnia. She wasn’t happy about and she
was scared to death to tell him.
She knew she’d eventually have to tell him...She
just had to figure out when and how.
Lisa and Tyson knew...Hell as long as she’d know John; he’d seen her go
through the motions of trying to get her life back on track. When she couldn’t get everything worked out,
that’s when the Insomnia kicked in.
Karen flipped open her phone hitting the number 3
on her speed dial and waited as the phone rang...A groggy voice said, “Hello?” Karen said, “John I need you’re help.” John finally waking up and said,
“Karen...What’s wrong...Are you ok?”
Karen said, “Yea...I’m fine...I’ve just...Well, I came to a decision.”
John said, “Okay and what do you need my help
with?” Karen said, “I’m going to tell
Randy...Before things get too serious between us...I want him to know...He’s
always asking me about the Insomnia...I think it’s time he heard the whole
story...But I want you to be with us when I tell him...Please...I need you’re
support John...You’re my best friend.”
John said, “Aight, Calm down kiddo...Smackdown
will be in New York tomorrow...Just gimmie you’re hotel room number and have
Randy there around 11...You need my support and I’ll be there, I
promise...Don’t worry Randy’s not a dickhead...He’ll take it and respect
you...I’ve known him since OVW...I promise...He won’t hurt you.”
Karen said, “I know I trust you...You wouldn’t
have given him my address if you thought he was going to hurt me in any
way...I’ll get Randy here by 11...and I’ll see you tomorrow...Thank you for
this John...I really appreciate you helping me out...I don’t know if I could do
it on my own.”
John said, “Any time Honey...I’ll see you
tomorrow...and Relax...Everything will be fine...I promise...Now can I go back
to sleep?” Karen giggled and said,
“Sure...See you tomorrow.”
They said their good-byes and hung up...She’d have
to find Randy at the arena tonight and tell him to meet her the following
day. All she could do was hope that
everything went well...She was starting to fall for Randy...
Oh yea the Legend Killer had stuck again.
Chapter 10
Randy had talked to Karen at the arena and she had
informed him she had something she really needed to talk with him about...He
could take one look in her eyes and know she was completely serious about
whatever it was...He had so long to wait to see what she was talking
about...he’d been back at the hotel since Raw was over and had taken a shower
already.
Randy stood in navy blue pajama bottoms with a
navy blue wife beater on staring out the window of his hotel room. He had his arms crossed over his chest and
was pulling on his bottom lip in deep thought.
Something caught Randy’s eye as he watch Karen
walk out of the hotel in jeans and a sweat shirt, she pulled the hood up around
her head and hair and started walking off into New York City. Randy wasn’t sure if he should worry about
her...so he got dressed and took off to follow her just in case.
He watched as she walked down the sidewalk to
Central Park, it wasn’t too far from the hotel they were staying at. Once Karen
reached Central Park she pulled her hood down and pulled her long hair out of
the sweatshirt as she slowly sat in the grass, just looking up at the sky.
Randy was sitting back under a tree, he didn’t
want Karen to think he was following her to spy or whatever. Randy couldn’t wait anymore...he’d looked
over and seen her crying so he walked over and sat next to Karen in the
grass...
Karen looked at him with tears sliding down her
cheeks. She smiled a little as Randy
handed her a tissue, and she wiped her eyes and said, “You must really think
I’m a mess huh...Can go through a damn without tears, can’t sleep for more then
8 hours every 7 days...Insomnia so bad it could kill anyone else who had
it...but I look so together I could pass as a person with a regular life.”
Randy touched her knee and said, “I’m in no
position to tell someone if they do or don’t have a regular life...My life
isn’t regular...I used to be such a sex whore...and I’m on the road 230 days
out of the year...sometimes more. So
what the hell is a regular life now-a-days?”
Karen said, “That is true huh...By the way, I know
you used to be a playboy...You don’t have to tell me.” Randy said, “And you’re still giving me a
real chance?” Karen giggled a little and
said, “What can I say...you made a lasting first impression.” Randy said, “God, don’t go off that
night...It was lousy...I was a total ass to you and you gave me a slap that
really woke my ass up.”
Karen
leaned her head on his broad shoulder and said, “Yea, but you made it up
to me...Which was actually worth more to me then any apology you could’ve given
me.” Randy rested his lips against the
top of her head as he watched her look around.
Karen tilted her head up at Randy as he leaned
down and brushed his lips against her softly for a brief moment and said,
“C’mon, it’s getting cold out here...Vince and Stephanie would have my ass if
they thought I had a hand in your getting pneumonia.”
Karen laughed as Randy took her hands and helped
her to her feet. They talked a little on
their way back to the hotel. Karen asked
him to come in her room as they both lay in the bed, their shoes kicked off,
but still in their jeans and sweat shirts talking.
They both fell asleep and in the morning were
awakened by someone banging on the hotel door.
Randy got up careful not to wake up Karen, as he walked out and over to
the door and opened it to find John on the other side of the door. John started heckling Randy about sleeping with
Karen...and Randy explained what happened.
John nodded as they both looked over and saw a not so awake Karen
standing in the door to the bedroom.
John gave her a hug as she was slowly waking
up...John took a seat on the floor as Karen had walked into the bedroom and
come back out and sat in the chair as Randy sat on the couch next to the chair
and said, “So what’s going on?” Karen
smiled and Randy saw the unshed tears in her eyes again as John rubbed her hand.
Karen handed Randy a picture...He took it and
looked at it and noticed the girl in the picture was her, she had this bright
smile on her face and there was a big guy in the picture with her, who was
holding out her left hand and Randy suddenly noticed the same ring on her left
ring finger was on her right ring finger.
Randy said, “Who is that?”
Karen blinked as huge tears rolled down her cheeks
like a waterfall, she said, “My husband.”
Chapter 11
Randy popped up off the couch and said, “What the
hell is going on?” John said, “Whoa...Calm
down and let her talk...She told you she had something to tell you...now you
listen to her.” Randy calmed down nodded
and sat back down.
*****************************
The cry of the city like a siren's song
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky
Must be someone's soul passing by
These are the streets
Where we used to run where your Papa's from
These are the days
Where you become what you become
These are the streets
Where the story's told
The truth unfolds
Darkness settles in
*****************************
Karen took a deep breath and said, “I got married
to Sam when I was 17, I had just started college at Springfield...we’d dated all
through my high school years...When he asked me to marry him...I couldn’t say
no, cause my heart was screaming yes...I’ve loved him since I was 14. Sam at 19 was a Boston Fireman, his family is
from New York...and were more then happy to welcome me in their home. We would come here on the weekends and spend
the time with them.”
Karen sighed and said, “Once I chose to marry Sam
and also outside of my faith, I was excluded from my family...My parents didn’t
want to have anything to do with me...they were strict Catholic...and Sam was
Christian...I loved Sam so much that I gave up everything for him. I met John in college of course...Even then
he wanted to be a wrestler...I never had a friend quite like John, and it just
grew into more...We’re best friends.”
Karen looked down and John gave her a cheesy smile
and Karen laughed and continued, “Anyways, Once I graduated college, Sam and I
moved to New York, so he could be in the same Fire station with his dad...We
were married for 4 years...I was 20, soon to be 21...when His father had to
come to me and tell me, they were on a job, when he fell through the roof of a
burning building, and had been killed.
John saw me go through the good and bad of being married to a Fireman...I
was always scared it would happen, and one day it did. Since then I threw myself into my work for
the WWE, I was Vince’s assistant for 2 years, before I was giving to Eric, and
then a month afterwards I was promoted to Script Censor.”
*****************************
Shine your light...down on me
Lift me up so I can see
Shine your light...when you're gone
Give me the strength
To carry on, carry on
*****************************
Randy said, “Why are you telling me all of
this?” Karen said, “I wanted to be fully
honest with you...you’ve been asking me about the insomnia...that’s why I have
it...sometimes it’s really hard to sleep...but others it’s really easy...I also
wanted to be honest with you on another level...I’ve NEVER felt the same way
about anyone else in my life that I did when I was with Sam...That was until
you cussed and insulted you’re way into my life.”
Randy and John both groaned...as Karen laughed and
said, “I had this overwhelming feeling when I met Sam...And it was the same
feeling I had when I met you...It was also the feeling that was the deciding
factor to give you a chance. There is
nothing I would change about my life. I
loved Sam and the 4 years we dated in high school and the 4 years we were
married were not in vain...I don’t regret anything I’ve done in my life...and I
don’t regret anything I’ve told you...I just wanted to be up front with you and
tell you from the beginning, so it’s something you can either get used to now,
or walk away from if it’s not going to work for you.”
*****************************
Don't wanna be a hero
Just an everyday man
Trying to do the job the very best he can
But now it's like living on borrowed time
Out on the rim, over the line
Always tempting fate
Like a game of chance
Never wanna stick around
To the very last dance
Some times I stumble
And take a hard fall
Lose hold your grip
Off the wall
*****************************
Randy said, “I’m not walking away...but I would
like a couple of days to process all this information...I mean...If it’s okay
with you.” Karen said, “Yea...It’s
fine...If you have questions, I’ll keep my cell on, other then that I’m pretty
much a hotel room hermit for the day, until my flight tomorrow.”
Randy nodded and left the room. John said, “Well it’s all up to him now...But
I’m telling you...He’ll be an adult about it all.” Karen nodded as she stood with John and
hugged him, as he said he had to get going because he needed to hit the gym,
and if she needed him to just call.
Later that night, Randy was back to staring out the
window of his hotel, but he was still in the jeans and sweatshirt he’d worn the
night before...He could of sworn he was in a De Jas Vu moment when he seen
Karen step out into the cold night once again and go off walking. Randy knew exactly where she was going and
took off after her.
*****************************
Shine your light...down on me
Lift me up so I can see
Shine your light...when you're gone
Give me the strength
To carry on, carry on
*****************************
Randy watched as she went to Central Park again
and sat in the cool grass again, she pulled her hair over her shoulder as she
leaned back and put her hands under head as she looked up to the dark sky only
lit by a few dim stars. Randy walked over
and laid next to her in the grass.
Karen looked over and said, “Twice in two
nights...This is getting to be a regular thing with you...You’re not stalking
me are you?” Randy chuckled and said,
“No.” Karen said, “You’re sure now
right...Because Stalking is illegal in all 50 states ya know.” Randy couldn’t help but laugh at her and
said, “I’m not stalking you.” Randy
grabbed her and pulled her over to him and she fit just perfectly in his arms
as she laid her head on his chest.
*****************************
I thought I saw him walking by the side of the road
Maybe trying to find his way home
He's here but not here
He's gone but not gone
Just hope he knows if I get lost
Shine your light...down on me
Lift me up so I can see
Shine your light...when you're gone
Give me the strength
To carry on, carry on
Shine your light...down on me
Lift me up so I can see
Shine your light...when you're gone
Give me the strength
To carry on, carry on
*****************************
They just laid there in silence; enjoying each
other company...Karen knew everything was going to be okay now.
Chapter 12
A few weeks later, Randy and Karen were still
exploring each others lives...they weren’t full blown dating yet...but they had
some moments together that they were sharing...
Today was no different; they actually had two days
off in Sacramento, California and were sitting in a café just talking.
Randy had said after a conversation with Lisa,
she’d revealed Karen having Insomnia when she was about 14 or 15...And was
curious about that also...Karen had informed Randy when she had just started
dating Sam, she was walking home from school one evening, and a guy came out of
no where and pulled her into the bush raping her.
Karen had expressed how she’d had Insomnia for a
few months after it, but with a lot of determination and love from Sam...She’d
gotten over the whole incident...the guy had never been caught...but She didn’t
really care, because she chose to move on with her life, instead of letting it
control her.
Randy had told her about being enlisted in the U.S.
Marine Corps (the United States Military). At first he loved it doing very well
in boot camp and even made squad leader. When he got to his first post it was
totally different, he then hated it.
Randy knew if he left the military he could begin
his training to become a professional wrestler. Randy then took a bus ride back
to Florissant (near Saint Louis) Missouri and spent time in the Brigg (U.S.
military prison) for going AWOL (Absence Without Leave). He later received a
general discharge from the military. How
when he got out he started training in OVW for wrestling and following in his
father and grandfathers foot steps.
Randy knew Karen was still pretty shy...but she
was slowly coming out of it all...Lisa had even told him about her sleeping some
without her Sleeping pills. After they
returned to the hotel, Tyson and Lisa met them in the lobby and said a bunch of
them were getting together to go to the pool...and the hotel was going to close
it off to everyone but wrestlers, so they could enjoy their down time
peacefully.
Karen was up for it as long as Randy was...which
who wouldn’t be?
Karen went up to her, Lisa and Tyson’s room and
changed into her black sting bikini bottoms, black halter swim top and some
bright red board shorts with black pin strips down the side and draw string in
front...She left her long hair down and walked down to the pool bare foot with
Lisa on Tyson’s back.
They stepped into the pool area, Paul and
Stephanie, Stacy and Matt, Trish and Chris, The newest addition to raw Mark and
Sierra Jindrak and not to mention Randy.
Karen looked over and noticed Tyson had just thrown Lisa in the pool
with himself and couldn’t help but laugh at their cute antics.
Randy walked over to Karen and said, “So you
thought that was funny huh?” Karen said,
“Yes...” And couldn’t stop
laughing. Randy said, “I’m so glad you
think so.”
Randy reached down and picked Karen up as she
clung to him and he stepped off the side of the pool into the water. They came up and Karen was laughing...Randy
thought for sure she was gonna smack him around.
Karen laughed and said, “Could you give me some
kind of warning next time...I still have my board shorts on...” Randy watched as she slipped the shorts off
under water and threw them up on the cement...Then watched as she disappeared
under the water and Randy disappeared with her.
The others started a game of volleyball or water
tag...Randy and Karen could’ve cared less as long as they didn’t get
bothered. They both propped their folded
arms on the ledge of the pool with their heads resting on their arms facing
each other as they talked a lot.
A few hours later, and Randy and Karen were still
talking by the side of the pool, still in the water...slowly but surely they
were getting to know each other...Randy had stopped a lot of things...He hadn’t
been to a club or a bar since he’d told Karen he wanted a serious chance with
her. Even Karen had noticed his
change...he was apparently serious.
Everyone who had been playing Volleyball at the
other end of the pool announced they were going back up to their rooms, to
shower, get warm, order junk food and watch movies. Lisa and Tyson swam over and asked if Randy
and Karen were going with...Karen declined as did Randy and they both swam over
and got in the hot tub. Lisa wrapped a
towel around herself and said, “Nerak, There’s a couple towels up here for you
guys...if you need anything gimmie a call.”
Karen smiled and said, “Okay...you guys have fun...but not too much
fun.”
Chapter 13
Randy sat next to Karen as they talked more...and
he watched as she pulled her raven colored hair over her shoulder and he
couldn’t help but run his fingers through it...it felt like spun silk
tendrils. Karen had her eyes closed as
she enjoyed Randy’s ministrations...his hands were firm, but gentle...as he
moved her around to sit between his legs and started massaging her scalp.
Randy could listen to the groans and moans coming
from Karen for the rest of his life. Her
soft moans were definitely having an effect on his body, but he was trying to
think of anything else at the time. His
hands moved down the back of her neck and spread out over her shoulders,
shoulder blades, back, along her spine, to the lumbar region of her
back...Randy could feel Karen’s hands on his legs, caressing the tops of his
thighs.
Randy leaned over and kissed her shoulder and she
dropped her head to the side as he started placing small kisses along her
shoulder and neck region...A deep throaty moan escaped her lips when he kissed
just below her ear lobe on her neck...Randy’s hands slid over and moved her
hair over to her other shoulder as he started kissing the opposite side and his
hands ran down her arms and found her hands and went palm to palm with her
hands as he laced their fingers together.
Karen definitely wasn’t complaining...and was
relishing the feeling of his lips against her neck. Randy moved her around so she was sitting in
the water on the step as he moved around and knelt down in the water between
her legs...he leaned over and started placing feather soft kisses along her
collar bone and throat as his big hands caressed her hips and back.
Randy couldn’t hold back any longer as he moved up
and capture her lips in the softest of kisses...Karen’s head fell back into the
kiss as Randy deepened it and slowly slid his tongue between her lips and into
the recesses of her soft mouth as he caressed her soft pink tongue with his.
Slowly Randy’s lips left Karen’s as they trailed
down her neck and soft cascaded across and down her chest...as her finger went
through his short brown hair. Suddenly
Karen felt something foreign...but extremely pleasurable. Karen looked down and Randy had pulled her
top to the side a little and had her right nipple encased in his warm moist
mouth...She could feel her body responding to him much more now then
before. Karen watched as Randy put the
bikini top back over her right breast and moved over and gave her left breast
the same treatment.
Karen’s moans were music to his ears...He could
literally get drunk of her moans alone.
When Randy had finished with her left breast and recovered it, he kissed
up along her jaw line and softly kissed her lips again and said, “Do you want
me to stop? I don’t want to over step my
boundaries.” Karen looked at Randy’s
blue eyes which were usually beautiful deep blue color, but at the moment they
were dark blue with lust...Of course she wanted him to stop...it was the right
thing...but her body was saying something entirely different.
Karen kissed his lips softly as she shook her head
no and Randy got up and sat next to her, as he started kissing her again, she
moved around and carefully sat straddled on his lap...His hands went to her
hips and absentmindedly played with the strings of her bikini bottoms. Karen moved and could feel his erection
pressing into the crotch of her string bikini’s...Karen moaned against Randy’s
lips as he felt her soft hand stroke his erection a couple of times through his
board short swim trunks. Randy groaned
into her mouth at the feeling of her hands ministrations.
Karen said, “Undo my strings.” Randy said, “Are you sure you want to do
this...I don’t want to push.” Karen
said, “Yes...Please.” Randy chuckled a
little and said, “You don’t have to say please...ever.” He kissed her lips as his hands slowly untied
her strings and he carefully pulled the bottoms off and placed them on the edge
of the hot tub. Randy watched as Karen
had her bottom lips sucked between her teeth as she untied his swim shorts and
eased his erection out of his shorts.
Randy watched her face as she realized how big he
was. Randy placed a soft kiss on her
lips and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle I promise...You set the pace.” Karen nodded as she leaned up and she could
feel Randy’s erection at the entrance of her sex. Randy steadied her hips as she slowly started
sitting down and he was suddenly entering her going in deeper...and
deeper...and deeper. By the time she was
fully settled with him inside of her...she felt filed to capacity...but they
both groaned deeply at the intimate contact.
Randy held her close as she started moving on
him...he was in total heaven being inside of her...their moans and kisses were
the only thing heard in the pool room.
Their lips never left each others neck, lips bodies for a second...as
Karen started to feel Randy’s hips crashing into hers as he was pushing up as
she was pushing down...making her feel the impact they were going with...
Karen held onto Randy as he gripped her hips and
they started moving faster Karen couldn’t get enough of Randy as he couldn’t
get enough of her...She could feel her orgasm racing forward fast and
furious...as she gripped Randy’s shoulders, and their bodies were slamming
together...Randy felt her come apart in his arms as her orgasm racked through
her body from head to toe. As he pushed
himself all the way into her and let himself fly over the edge with her.
They sat there perfectly still not moving a
muscle...Her forehead was resting on his shoulder and he kissed her neck and
shoulder...and said, “I didn’t hurt you did I?”
Karen sniffled a little and said, “No...Of course not.” She looked up and Randy could see tears sliding
down her cheeks...He wiped them away and said, “What’s wrong?” Karen said, “I haven’t done anything like
this since Sam died...I don’t regret it...It was wonderful.” Randy kissed her lips and said, “I’m glad you
really enjoyed it...C’mon let’s get out of here...I think we both need to rest
after that.” Karen nodded in agreement.
Instead of Karen going back to her room...she went
to Randy’s...He gave her a t-shirt and a pair of track pants, which was the
same thing he changed into...and they laid in bed talking...Karen ended up
falling asleep with her head on Randy’s chest...and he had his arms around her.
Chapter 14
- -2 Months Later- -
Karen woke up one morning and noticed Randy was
missing from the bed...She looked over at her cell phone and the time said 5am...Randy
was always an early riser...knowing him he was down in the hotel gym working
out. Karen pulled herself from bed as
she pulled her jeans and tank top on and walked down to the gym in her bare
feet.
True to the word, Randy was doing chin lifts for
his bi-cepts and tri-cepts. Randy
watched as Karen walked over and he dropped down from the bar as she smiled at
him and said, “I knew you’d be here.”
Randy said, “Yea...I had some thinking to get done.”
Randy leaned against the pole holding up the chin-up
bar, as Karen watched him tug on his bottom lip a little and she said,
“Okay...What’s going on?” Randy sighed
heavy as he ran his hand through his hair and said, “I have to be honest with
you Kar...I really enjoy being with you and I’ve enjoyed this...whatever it is
we have...but when we made love last night...you called out another man’s
name...and I have to tell you...I don’t feel like fighting a ghost for your
heart.”
Karen’s heart fell into her stomach and said, “Oh
Randy...I’m so sorry...My God I’m so embarrassed...You have to know I would
NEVER do that intentionally.” Randy
crossed his arms over his chest and said, “I realize that Karen...but it’s not
the first time it’s happened...When it happens more then once, and even more
then 3 times...It’s time to try something new.”
Karen said, “What are you suggesting?” Randy said, “I don’t think we should see each
other anymore...as much as I want to be with you and get more serious with you
and see where it goes...I just can’t...Because what if you never get over your
husband...where would that leave me? I’m
sure it would leave me somewhere in the negative of ever having held your
heart...and like I said when it comes to fighting for your heart...I can’t fight
a ghost...I refuse to.”
Karen couldn’t stop the tears from slowly sliding
down her cheeks as she just nodded in agreement with Randy. Randy started to touch her arm but she backed
away and said, “Please don’t...Don’t make this any harder on me.” Randy said, “Hard on you? I had to make the decision...not you.” Karen said, “Yea...but you want this...not
me...Just like you wanted me and because I’m not perfect you want to just give
up.” Randy said, “I still want to be
friends...I want to help you Karen.”
Karen said, “Oh...No thanks...I think you’ve
helped enough...I don’t want nor do I need your help. If I have a problem, I don’t need your pity
to help me get over it.” Randy said,
“It’s not pity...it’s called friendship...When you’ve got special friends you
help them...when you’ve got friends who need help then damn it...you help
them...You don’t just watch them as they fall deeper and deeper.”
Karen said, “Incase you haven’t noticed
Randy...I’m not falling...I’m standing on my own two feet and I have been for a
while now...without any ones help...When Sam died I didn’t have any one but
Lisa...She saved me from myself just fine thanks...and when I miscarried Sam’s
baby from depression...I did just fine then too...I’ve over come a lot of
bullshit in my life...This is nothing new to add to the pile of shit in my
life, that I’ve over come.”
Randy’s head snapped up and said, “Did I just hear
you say you miscarried Sam’s baby?”
Karen ran a shaky hand through her hair as she said, “Not that it’s any
of your business...but yes...I was 2 months pregnant and the night Sam was
killed, I was going to tell him about the baby...but well obviously when he
didn’t come home, I found out he was dead...After the funeral I was highly
depressed, but who could blame me...I’d just lost my husband...and I miscarried
the baby 2 days after Sam’s funeral.”
Randy said, “You really need to get some help
Karen.” Karen said, “DON’T YOU THINK I
KNOW THAT? I WAS FINALLY GETTING ON WITH
MY LIFE AND YOU HAD TO PUSH YOUR WAY INTO IT...and now look...You find out I’m
broken and suddenly you wanna bale...Well Shame on me because I should’ve known
better.” Karen rolled her eyes as she
walked out of the gym and back up to Randy’s room and retrieved her suitcase
and back pack and placed a call into the only person she knew could help her as
she got a flight back to Boston.
Stephanie gave her some time off and she left a
message with Lisa.
By the time Karen got back to her apartment it was
almost 7pm...She showered and pulled on track pants and a t-shirt when she
heard the knock on the front door. Karen
walked over and opened it and smiled weakly at John who was staring back at her
and held up a plastic bag and said, “I got here as soon as I got your message
that you needed to talk. And I brought
comfort food.”
Karen said, “Ice cream?” John said, “Of course...What else helps heart
ache?” Karen couldn’t help it as she
threw her arms around John’s neck and he held her tight as she practically crumbled
in his arms. The Doctor of Thuganomics
suddenly became the Doctor of Healing Heart Ache.
Chapter 15
It had been a month since Randy had ended things
with Karen. He found himself sitting on
the bench in his locker room staring at the floor trying to remember the last time
he’d smiled for himself out of sheer happiness and not because it was scripted
into his life. He really had fallen for
Karen, so hard his grandfather had gotten a bruise.
Randy wished he could have an uncomplicated
relationship with a woman...Most only wanted him cause he was Randy Orton WWE
superstar and not regular Randy from St. Louis Missouri. No one that is except Karen. She didn’t care about his ego or his on screen
cockiness that some times followed him off camera. She’d shoot him down like the ass he was and
would make him smile because she just didn’t take any shit from him or any of
the other wrestlers who tried to be cocky or suave around her.
Randy’s heart ached to be with Karen again. He knew he sounded like a jerk when he ended
things with her...but he couldn’t help it...having someone you are making love
to scream out another mans name...breaks your heart. It pained Randy every time she would scream
out Sam’s name and not his. And after
the last time she’d done it...He just couldn’t take it anymore.
As much as Randy wanted to just forget it
happened...He couldn’t...God help him he tried, he really did...but he just
couldn’t. And now he was suffering the
ultimate price. He was back to being a
playboy, something he wasn’t really proud of...but couldn’t stop. Every time he’d screw another ring rat or
random fan he’d end up pretending they were Karen.
To make matters worse...He’d over heard some back
stage gossip that said Karen was seeing John Cena now. Great...Just great. He couldn’t figure out how they’d hooked up,
he could’ve sworn they were just best friends...Besides...John was a much
bigger playboy then Randy ever could hope to be.
Randy looked around the dressing room...Tonight
was SummerSlam, one of the 4 PPV’s that were joined with the Smackdown
roster...If Karen was with John, he’d see it for himself tonight. Randy pulled himself up to his feet and began
to get his wrestling trunks on and get ready for his match against Adam Copeland
(Edge).
Meanwhile, down the hall Karen was sitting in her
office talking with Lisa and Tyson. Lisa
said, “C’mon kiddo, you’ve been going to therapy for the last 4
weeks...something has to be better...I know how much you miss Randy...you guys
aren’t even on speaking terms...And you were supposed to have remained
friends.”
Karen sighed as she leaned back in her chair and
said, “I wish I felt different...ya know?
I just want to feel normal again...Ever since Randy told me I’ve been
calling him Sam when we were making love, I’ve just been feeling so weird on
the inside...like not only was I cheating on Sam with Randy...but cheating on
Randy with Sam.”
Tyson said, “I’m sure Randy doesn’t see it that
way Karen.” Karen said, “Oh I know
that...It’s just what I feel now......God I hate this city.” Lisa said, “You used to love New York
though.” Karen said, “Everything here
reminds me of Sam though. I don’t want
to forget him...I just want to move on with my life. I loved him...I loved him enough to lose my
family over it and was welcomed into his family. At least my insomnia hasn’t been as bad any
more.”
Lisa hugged Karen and said, “Don’t worry
kiddo...Things just have a way of working themselves out.” Karen nodded as she accepted a hug from Tyson
also and said, “Yea...I just hope you’re right.” Lisa and Tyson left and Karen was about to
start the scripts for 2 weeks from that night when someone knocked on the
door. Karen walked over and opened it
and smiled when she saw John and his cheesy smiling face staring back at her.
Karen took a step and wrapped her arms around John
as he hugged her back and said, “How you holding up?” Karen said, “I could be better...I need
you’re help again though.” John said,
“Anything...I’m at your disposal.” They
walked back into Karen’s office and shut the door...but neither of them saw the
pained blue eyes staring at their loving embrace.
Randy sighed heavily and said, “Well...That
answers that question.” As he turned and
walked back to his dressing room after his match.
Chapter 16
John walked through the back halls of the arena
after the PPV waiting to meet up with Karen.
He knew what ever she needed him for it was important...He’d heard in
through the gossip threads that some people on both rosters thought him and
Karen were dating...He’d have to remember to set them straight about their
friendship.
John and Karen had actually kissed once...but they
both agreed it was too much like kissing a member of the family...they were
just better off as friends. John saw
Randy walk up and John said, “What’s up bro?”
Randy said, “I just wanted to check to see how Karen is doing.” John said, “Why don’t you ask her
yourself? I know you still care about
her.” Randy said, “Yea...well I’ll never
admit it unless I absolutely have too.”
John said, “You’re so stubborn man...You don’t realize how much she’s
going through right now...and to hear from you would be wonderful for her...but
you’re going to let your stupid pride interfere aren’t you?” Randy said, “What is she going
through...What’s going on with her? I
figured with you in her corner she has no problems.”
John said, “I oughta smack you upside you thick
skulled head...Just because I’m in her corner...doesn’t mean I’m in her life the
way you and nearly everyone else in this company thinks I am...She’s my best
friend...and yea I’ll admit I love her...but only as a sister...Karen and I
tried to kiss once...a LONG ass time ago...it didn’t work...it was like kissing
on of my cousins or brothers...it just felt completely wrong in so many
incestuous ways.”
*****************************
My love,
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright
My first love,
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I
(I-I-I-I-I)
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...
And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love
*****************************
Randy said, “I don’t know about that man.” John said, “Well I do...Stop being a chicken
shit lame ass and just tell the girl you can’t live without her...Like I can
read it in your eyes man...I know you’ve been playboying it again...but you
know the only thing those hoochie ring rats are going to bring you is an STD or
possibly worse. Get your shit together,
get your ass in gear and God damn it...Be a man Randy.”
John sighed and ran his hand through his short
brown hair and continued, “Tell the woman you can’t stop thinking about how
much you want her in your life...And don’t be suave or anything...just fuckin
be yourself bro...I never steered you wrong before...You’ve got to put some
kind of faith into yourself, into me...and into the fact that Karen...no matter
what you said to her when you guys broke it off...she’s completely over
it...I’m telling you...if you’d do that...She’d surprise the shit right out of
you.”
Randy nodded as he started walking away. John knew Randy was hurting inside...Anyone
who had two eyes could tell Randy and Karen missed each other more then either
one was willing to admit...and belonged together. A few minutes later, Karen walked up and John
wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked out of the arena together and
got into John’s rental SUV and as soon as Karen gave him the address he knew
exactly where he was taking her...To the cemetery that Sam was buried.
*****************************
Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever
(Ohhhh)
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love
Oh, love
I'll be a fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh, you know I don't mind
'Cause you,
You mean the world to me
Oh
I know
I know
I've found in you
My endless love
*****************************
John walked to the gravesite with Karen and
watched as she knelt down in front to the headstone and tucked her feet under
her as she sat on her knees. John stayed
about 30 or so feet back...he knew she’d need her privacy and wasn’t about to
disturb her. Karen touched the cool black
marble headstone that said:
Sam Martini
Beloved Husband & Son
Fire Station 123
Karen leaned over and kissed the top of the
headstone and said, “Sam I need your help please...I just need some kind of
sign...I just want to know you’re okay with me moving on...” A few stray tears slipped from her eyes. She stared at it for at least 45 minutes...as
if the answers were just going to come to her out of nowhere...And suddenly the
wind started to pick up as her hair was whipped around...She had a warm feeling
come over the middle of her chest...as if Sam was touching her heart.
Karen smiled and said, “Okay Sam...I get
it...Thank you.” Karen kissed the
headstone again as she stood up and turned to John and walked over to him and
said, “The PPV isn’t over for another hour...”
John said, “Lemme guess...You need to find Randy?” Karen smiled and said, “Yes...Please.” John said, “Who am I to stop someone from
loving someone else.” Karen threw her
arms around John’s neck and hugged him tight and kissed his cheek and said,
“C’mon Doc...I gotta get back there now.”
John said, “My led food is you’re led foot.” They laughed as John took off at break neck
speeds to get Karen back to the arena.
Once they got back to the arena...Randy was just
walking out the back door to get in Evolution’s limo to head back to the
hotel...when John came skidding to a halt as Karen ran over and grabbed Randy’s
hand and Randy said, “What the hell is going on Karen?” Karen pulled him away from the limo and said,
“Do me a favor...Tell me the truth...Do you want to be with me? I mean really with me...in everyway
possible?” Randy said, “Yes.” Karen said, “Then kiss me...Kiss me right
now, before I go completely insane and take everyone in this damn company with
me.”
Randy licked his lips as he slowly pulled Karen
too him and leaned over and softly captured her lips...The couple couldn’t help
but laugh as all the members of Evolution and John had exited the vehicles and
were clapping...hooting and cat calling.
It was about time they two of them got their shit together. Only God would know what was next for them.
*****************************
Oooh, and love
Oh, love
I'll be that fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh you know-
I don't mind
And, YES
You'll be the only one
'Cause NO one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love

Chapter 17
- -4 Years Later- -
Karen was slowly waking up...She had been worn out
the night before when her husband had returned home. She felt around on his side of the bed and it
came up empty. Karen could hear their 3
year old daughter giggling down stairs...which meant her and daddy were horsing
around in the den like always.
Karen carefully sat up and got up from the bed and
padded into the bathroom...Her panties and tank tops were starting to stretch
across her 5 month pregnant belly. She
didn’t get very big with Andrea their first child...But she already knew the
one she was now carrying was a boy and her husband couldn’t wait until he was
born.
*****************************
I love the way you stand in my way
You won't move 'til you get a kiss
And how you tell me that my name
It tastes so sweet on your lips
I love the way you hold me with your eyes
Hold me so tight that I can't move
It's like everything I've ever known is a lie
And you're the simple truth
Is it a dream or is it real?
All I know is you make me feel so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful (Feel like I could fly)
Beautiful (cross the clear blue sky)
Beautiful (Baby I could cry)
You make me feel so beautiful
*****************************
Karen got in the shower and let the water wash her
as she moved around and washed her hair.
When she got out she pulled on a pair of khaki overalls and a red tank
top...Leaving her barefoot. She combed
the snarls out of her waist length hair.
And then left it down as she grabbed her cell phone and slipped it in
her pocket as she walked down stairs and could hear her daughters’ giggles
getting louder.
Karen walked into the den and her husband was on
his back with his feet in the air and Andrea was laying on her stomach on his
feet and giggling when Andrea looked over and said, “Mommy!” Karen smiled and said, “Andrea sweetheart be
careful.” Andrea giggled and said, “I am
mommy.”
Naturally her husband needed to throw in his 2
cents and said, “Yea mommy were being careful.”
Karen smirked and while her daughter was focused on her father Karen
flipped her husband the bird. His smirk
said it all but as she was walking into the kitchen, he couldn’t help but say,
“You’re daughter almost saw that.” Karen
laughed and said, “Yea...Sue me...hoodrat boy.”
*****************************
I love how soft you touch my skin
Like you're touching the wings of a butterfly
I wish we could just lock ourselves away in a room
Where there was no such thing as time
I've never let anyone get this close
I've always been afraid
But you break down every wall and I feel so safe
Is it a dream or is it real?
All I know is you make me feel so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful (Feel like I could fly)
Beautiful (cross the clear blue sky)
Beautiful (Baby I could cry)
You make me feel so beautiful
*****************************
Karen was sipping a glass of water as she was
looking out the sliding glass doors to the back yard. She felt a pair of soft lips kiss her neck
and familiar arms wrap around her waist.
Big hands rubbed her slightly protruding 5 month pregnant belly. The soft voice of her husband said,
“Damn...What’ca got in there babe?”
Karen laughed as she turned around in his husbands arms and looked in
his eyes and said, “Your son...The bottomless pit...Did you know I’m already
bigger at 5 months with him, then when I was when I was pregnant with
Andrea. This kid packed a lunch and
decided to stay for the day.”
John couldn’t help but chuckle at his wife and
said, “Oh you know you love it...Besides you look so beautiful all cute and
pregnant.” Karen snuggled into John’s
embrace and said, “What’s not to love.”
John kissed the top of her head and said, “I fully agree with you
baby...Fully agree.”
*****************************
Every part of who I am
Is so in love cause what I have is beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful (Feel like I could fly)
Beautiful (cross the clear blue sky)
Beautiful (Baby I could cry)
You make me feel so beautiful
Beautiful...
You make me feel so beautiful (When you touch my face)
Beautiful (When you say my name)
Beautiful (Always find the way)
You make me feel so
Beautiful
*****************************
The thing with Karen and John was...They never
realized how much time and effort they put into their friendship...When Karen
started realizing she wasn’t putting nearly the effort into her relationship
with Randy...she just walked away...And now obviously she knew it was the best
decision for herself at the time. She
loved John more and more every day and once they both realized they had a love
that wasn’t going towards anyone else but each other...The only thing left to
do was to share their lives together.
The End
