Alexis Bradford's day was already going bad. Her alarm hadn't gone off, she got up an hour late, and had to skip her morning workout just to make it to work, for her first day on the job. She was always in a shitty mood when she didn't get her morning workout in.
On her way to the arena, the cab driver got lost, so she was 10 minutes late for her meeting.
That caught her a 15 minute lecture.
She had finally got out of her meeting and headed to the women's locker room and got dressed for the show.
Not one single girl talked to her, there were no friendly smiles, no one ever looked her way.
She stood 5'9", putting her a few inches above the average Diva. At 125 pounds, her body was slender, but curvy. Her long, naturally blond hair had many colorful streaks in it. They were clip-ins, but were so time consuming to deal with she always put them in the night before a show. Her ring attire was as colorful as her hair.
She was very hard to over look, and she knew it.
Add another thing on to her bad day.
She hated that 'new kid' feeling. She grabbed her phone, and slide a few bucks from her purse down the front of her tights, and went to find a vending machine. At least she could comfort herself with some chocolate, and caffeine.
Of course the only machines she could find would be in catering, which was absolutely full of people. She looked around the room, only to be meet with cold stares. She quickly turned around and tried to ignore the feeling of eyes on her back. She quickly slipped in the money for a Dr. Pepper, and scooped the can and her change out of the machine, she then turned her attention to the candy machine. It only took her a second to find what she was looking for. Milky Way. Her slender fingers pushed the buttons, then the candy bar got stuck.
"Of fuckin' course." She said to herself, hitting the glass on the front of the machine. The stupid thing didn't budge. She suddenly remembered she was in a room full of her new co-workers, with all the noise she was making, she was sure that every one's attention was on her.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, her eyes locked with a pair of beautiful blue eyes.

"Need some help?" He asked, gently hitting the side of the machine, causing the candy bar to fall immediately.

"Thanks." She said, as he bent down and grabbed her candy.

"You know, there's some healthy food over here." He grinned, handing her the candy bar.

"Comfort food." She smiled. "I need it after the way my day has started out."

"I haven't seen you around before, have I?" He asked.

"No, this is my first day." She said.

"You're first day, and it's going bad?" He chuckled.

"I know, right? Something I've been working towards for years, and it's going awful. Thanks for your help though." She said, trying to make an escape.

"I'm Randy Orton." He said, extending his hand.

"I know. I'm Alexis Bradford. Lexi." She smiled, shyly.

"Well, Lexi, you want to find a table?" He asked.
She looked around the room, again all eyes were on her, and not one face had a smile.

"You know, I think I'll take my fattening food, and find a nice quiet spot, in a secluded hall, one where there aren't so many eyes." She said.
"Thanks though."

"Sure." He said, walking away.
"Oh and Lexi." He said, turning back.
"Don't let these guys bother you, you're new here, give it a few days, things will get better."
He shot his killer smile at her. She was at a lost for words, so she just smiled, then she reminded herself to breathe.
She popped in her ear buds and pulled up her play list on her phone. She sat there, alone, in the empty hall, and she finally felt content. She began her pre-match ritual. Her music was blaring as she went to her special place inside her mind, only to be brought out by someone kicking her feet. She opened her eyes and saw Eve standing in front of her.
Lexi pulled her ear buds from her ears.

"Lexi, right?" Eve asked.

"Yeah." Lexi answered.
Eve stuck out her hand.

"Hi, I'm Eve. I'm your opponent for tonight." She smiled at Lexi. Lexi took her and, and stood up.
"I was hoping to catch you in the locker room, but you must have gotten in and out before I even got there."
Lexi smiled weakly.

"I didn't really feel welcome there, so I got dressed and left."

"Really?" Eve asked.

"Yeah, besides you, the only person who has been nice to me was Randy Orton." Lexi said.

"Randy? He was nice to you?" Eve asked.

"Yeah, extremely. You seem surprised. Is he a dick?" Lexi asked.

"Oh, no. But Randy is known for giving newbies a hard time. He knew you were new, right?"

"Yeah, he asked, as he helped me get my candy bar that was stuck in the machine." Lexi explained.

"Hmm. Oh well, Orton can be a strange guy. So, you wanna go over our match?" Eve asked. Eve was really nice. She showed Lexi around the arena, and introduced her to some of the divas. Lexi's day started to go better, as she met and talked to some of the veteran divas, and realized the ones that felt secure with their jobs were very welcoming. She was standing close to the gorilla, stretching, it was almost time for her match.
She was bend over, stretching her legs, not paying attention to anyone around, it was pretty chaotic around there.

"Lexi." She heard her name being called. She looked up to see a smiling Randy Orton.

"Hey." She smiled.

"How was your comfort foods?" He laughed.

"Delicious, thanks." She laughed.

"Seems like your day has gotten better."

"Yeah. It has, a lot better." Lexi said.

"Well, listen, have a good match. I'll be watching." He grinned, like she needed to hear that, she was already nervous enough.
"And, if anyone gives you any problems around here, you come to me." He shot her another grin.

"Thanks Mr. Orton." She said.

"It's Randy." He called, walking away. Hard as she tried, she couldn't tear her eyes away from him. It took the stage hand calling her name twice to jar her.

"You're up." He said. Her stomach was turning, and she felt like she was about to vomit as she stepped up to her place to wait for her cue.

You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one

Her music hit, she took her place on the top of the ramp, and looked around.

I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand

The nerves vanished. She was in her element, right where she was always suppose to be.

This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work

She didn't care that there wasn't much reaction from the crowd, after all, she was up against a crowd favorite, and no one knew her, yet.

Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand

She knew it would only be a matter of time before they were cheering her name. She hopped up on the ring apron, grabbing hold of the top rope, pulling herself up very slowly, with her head back, and her chest forward. It was no secret what sold you in this business, she knew what she had to flaunt, and to be honest, she didn't have a problem with it. After all, her nick name was Sexy Lexi.

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

She did a back flip over the top rope, as her music faded. The crowd was pretty dead to start off with, Lexi knew it would be up to her to bring them into the match. After a few minutes, Eve let her call the match, it was time for Lexi to bring out her moves. Lexi was a natural high flyer, a risk taker. She lived for the thrill. She set Eve up for a spring board bulldog, landing her in the perfect position for Lexi's finishing move. She climbed the ropes to the top turnbuckle, she glanced back at Eve, then winked at the crowd as she performed a perfect Phoenix Splash. The crowd exploded. The ref counted to 3, and Lexi's hand was raised. She blew a kiss to the camera, before dropping the the mat and rolling out of the ring. When she got back stage she finally took a breath. Randy was standing there, ready to go out for his match.

"Amazing." He smiled, clapping.

"Thanks." She said, still catching her breath. She headed off to the locker room. She took out her hair clips before getting in the shower. By the time she was out of the shower the final match was already done. She took her time to finish getting ready, fixing her hair and makeup, before pulling on her jeans and tight fitting t-shirt. She slipped her feet into her sneakers, and tied them up, then packed her bag and headed out of the locker room. She was the last girl in there. She decided to just head back to her hotel room, and get some sleep, she was renting a car in the morning to get to the house show.
She turned the corner, heading towards the door, when she ran smack into someone, causing her to drop her bag. She looked up, into the same piercing blue eyes. Randy Orton.
"Sorry." She mumbled, fumbling for her bag.

"It's ok. Are you ok?" He asked, grabbing her bag.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She said.

"So where you headed to so fast?" He asked.

"I was just going back to my hotel." She answered.

"Really? You're not going out with the crew?"

"No one said anything to me about it." She said quietly.

"Come on, Lexi. It's your first day. You finally landed a spot on the roster of the WWE, and you're not going out to celebrate?" He asked, grinning.

"I don't really know the area, and I don't really feel like sitting at a table alone, doesn't really sound like celebrating to me." She forced a grin.

"Fine, you've twisted my arm. I was just going to jump in my car and head to the next town, but hell, I can delay that a few hours, and take you out tonight. I know where the crew is heading." He smiled.

"No, Mr. Ort..."

"Randy." He interrupted.

"Randy, you don't have to do that." She said.

"I know I don't have too, but I want too." He flipped her bag over his shoulder. "I'll just throw these in the back, and we'll be on our way.
Lexi could tell that he wouldn't take no for an answer, she she followed him to his black Escalade. He popped the back and tossed their bags in, then walked around and opened her door, taking her hand as she climbed in.
"I have to say." Randy said, climbing into the driver's seat. "You're match was awesome. I didn't take you as a high flyer."

"The match was far from awesome. For it to be really great, the crowd would have to be in it from the start. They weren't tonight." She sighed.

"Maybe not, but it takes real talent to bring a dead crowd into a match. You did that." He smiled.

"Thanks." She mumbled, forcing her eyes to leave his.
He started the car, and she was thankful that the radio was on, and she wouldn't have to force small talk. They rode in silence to a club. He pulled into a parking spot and helped her out of the car.

"Stay close." He whispered in her ear, causing chills to rise on her skin. He grabbed her hand and bypassed the line outside. The bouncer looked at him and let them in without question. He completely ignored the calls of his name as he gripped her hand and headed for the stairs. The bouncer at the bottom moved the rope and allowed them to go up the stairs. He opened a door and they walked into a large room, filled with loud music. It was a private room, and was full of the WWE crew.

"Orton. What are you doing here? You haven't been out in what a year?" Cody Rhodes said, smirking when he saw Lexi in tow behind him.
"Ah, never mind."

"I just thought it was pretty shitty not one person invited Lexi out to celebrate her first night on the job." Randy said.

"I'm sorry. Lexi, is it?" Cody asked.

"Yeah. Lexi Bradford." She smiled.

"Well Lexi, I'm Cody. Sorry I didn't take the time to meet you earlier. Congratulations on your first night. Come on, let me buy you a drink." He smiled, pulling her hand away from Randy's, and to the bar.
After a couple shots and a beer, Lexi found herself on the dance floor with Cody. No matter how hard she tried to stop herself, her eyes kept falling back on Randy.
It certainly didn't take a genius to follow his stare, Randy's eyes were glued on Lexi. Cody had caught on, and twirled her around the floor, having fun with his little game.
A slow song came on and Cody's motion slowed down, as he pulled her body towards his. She saw him flash a smile towards Randy, who shot him a hard glare.
Cody paid no attention, and leaned forward, until his lips were grazing Lexi's ear.
"Be careful Lexi. He's married."

Add that to who he was, one of thee most known wrestlers of the WWE, someone who had been in movies. She had made a promise to herself to not get involved with anyone. She swore it would be at least a year before she even accepted a date. She was there to be the best damn wrestler she could and there was no way she would let a man get in her way. She knew he was off limits, she knew he was only after one thing, she knew if she didn't stay away from him she had no chance. Yet her eyes found him again. For some reason she didn't care if he was married, she didn't care if he and his wife were fucking soul mates. She had seen him in those trunks too many times on tv, but that was nothing compared to seeing him up close and personal in them. Her eyes dilated as she imagined pulling them off, as she pictured what he would do to her with his mouth, with his body. She hadn't even felt his lips on hers, and she already knew she was in too deep to stop. The question was, did she want too? And would that be enough to make her?
