Sequel to Crazy for You.

Several years had passed. Lexi had retired from WWE, to be home with Ari as she started school. Randy was still on the road, throwing himself into the business as always.
"I know, but I, we really miss you. And you promised Ari that you would be there for her dance recital. How am I suppose to tell her that you're not?" Lexi asked, feeling like she was having a one-sided conversation. But this went right along with all of their other conversations lately. Randy had become distant, and cold.

"Listen Lex, I really want to come, but I got roped into an autograph session." Randy said.

"Oh, come on. We both know that you could have gotten out of it. You treat me like I've never been in the business. I know how it goes Randy. It's been three weeks since we've seen you. Ari misses you so much, and I, I'm lonely." Lexi said sadly.
She heard Randy take a deep breath.

"I know Lex. It's not like its fun being on the road without you guys."

"Really, cause I've heard different." Lexi said.

"What does that mean?" Randy's voice boomed through the phone.
"You are sounding as ungrateful as Sam did."

"Fuck you Randy. My money buys as much as yours does! You know I didn't call to fight with you. I'm so tired of our calls ending in fights." Lexi said.

"Alright Lex. Listen, I'm tired, and really just want to find a hotel and sleep." Randy said.

"Any word on when the bus will be fixed?" Lexi asked, trying to calm herself down.

"Nope. I haven't heard anything. I'll call Ari tomorrow and talk to her. Just record the recital. I'll watch it when I get home." Randy said.

"And that will be when?" Lexi asked.

"When ever it is. Bye Lex." He said, hanging up the phone.

"Yeah, love you too." Lexi whispered as she sat her phone down on her night stand, before laying down in their big empty bed. This was the time she hated most. She made herself believe that she could deal with the nasty comments and awful conversations. But she hated sleeping alone, and what hurt her more, was they she knew Randy hated sleeping alone even more. She couldn't help but let her mind wonder, as to if he was alone every night. She slowly got up and took her pillow to one of the guest bedrooms where she had been sleeping the last few weeks. It seemed as soon as she had fallen asleep the alarm was sounding waking her up for Ari to get ready for school.
Lexi loved being a mom, and never regretted one second leaving her career behind for her child, but when Ari was at school, she had nothing to do. Lexi's days were spent the same way everyday. She put Ari on the bus, went for her run, worked out, then wandered around the house, played on the internet, or read to fill her time. Her life had become routine. And she wasn't happy with it.

Lexi had just gotten out of the shower after her morning work out. She had pulled her clothes on and was getting ready to dry her hair when she heard the door bell. She carried the towel with her, trying to keep her hair from dripping on the floor. She opened the door seeing Cody Rhodes standing in front of her.

"Hey Alex." He smiled, letting his eyes run over her body, down to her long tan legs.

"Hey, Code. Whats up?" She asked, stepping back, to let him in.

"Randy around?" He asked.

"Is he ever?" She mumbled.
"No. He had some excuse as to why he couldn't come home this week. This makes week 4."

"Why wouldn't he want to come home to you? He must be insane. " Cody laughed.

"Yeah, thanks. I'm a complete disaster." Lexi said, running the towel over her hair.

"Oh, stop. Anyway, he still has a few of my games, I was seeing if he had finished them yet?" Cody asked.

"I have no idea. But you're welcome to look. Though they may still be on the bus, which is who knows where getting fixed." Lexi said.
Cody gave her a strange look.

"Did it break down?"

"Yeah a few weeks back." Lexi said.

"Oh. Well, so where would the games be?" He asked.

"What? I know you know something. What is it Code?" Lexi asked.

"I just. I really don't want to get in the middle of anything." He said, walking towards the huge entertainment center that housed the huge tv, and all Randy's gaming systems.
Lexi reached out and grabbed his hand.

"Cody, please?" She asked.

"Listen Al, I'm not saying it wasn't broke down, I'm just saying that I saw him on it for the past three weeks." Cody said.
"I'm sorry." He felt awful seeing the hurt in her eyes.

"No, it's ok." She said, turning away from him, so he couldn't see the tears building up in her eyes.

"Oh, Alex. Come here." He said, pulling her into his arms, letting her cry.
"Maybe it was just a misunderstanding." He said.

"Thanks for being honest Cody." Lexi said, wiping her face.
Cody took a deep breath, and looked at his watch.

"Hey why don't you go get ready, and let me take you out to lunch?" He asked.

"Nah. That's ok. You don't have too." Lexi said.

"I know I don't have too. I want too. Go, get ready, while I search through your man's piles of games here." He smiled, though in his mind he hated calling Randy her man. He had seen Randy falling back into how he used to be before he and Sam divorced. Letting his hands linger too long on certain divas, and allowing random women to grab him as he was walking out of the arenas. Cody had known Randy too long not to know where this was heading too. He knew what this would do to his marriage, to his family, to his wife. Alex. She was always perfect in Cody's mind. He had a thing for her from the minute he saw her in the catering room, fiddling with the stupid snack machine. He knew at the time he wanted her, but Randy had snaked in before him. He had her in his claws before she had time to take her first breath as a WWE Diva. Now he had to decide if he wanted to help his friend, or if he would rather let things happen and be there for Alex when she fell. To be the one who helped her up, to be the one to soothe the hurt. He knew that if he ever had a shot with Al, he sure as hell wouldn't make up an excuse to not be home with her. He could still smell her perfume on his shirt. He had loved feeling her arms wrap around him. Hell, he could play father and husband while Randy was gone. No one had to know. Maybe this would open Alex's eyes for her to see how a true man would treat her. He had stood by and watched, hiding his true feelings, while they had a baby and got married, but that was because she seemed happy. It was clear now that she wasn't. He hated seeing her in pain, but if he was going to let Randy fall, he knew that she would be in a lot more pain than she was in right now. Would he be able to handle that?
