Chapter 1
Kimberly sat down on the couch, nervously awaiting the decision of her bosses regarding the new band she had found. She thought that they were absolutely brilliant and had huge potential. They don't only sing, but they play instruments as well. In the music business, you need to do more than singing these days. You also had to have a great personality, a charisma that would just pull people towards you.
This band had it.
She looked around at the members of the band and they were anxious like her. The band consisted of five members, four guys and one girl. The girl was the lead singer of the group, while the other members played instruments. The girl played the piano as well and she was quite good at it.
Kimberly looked at her best friend and partner, Emma and saw no trace of anxiousness on her face. Emma glanced over at Kimberly and nodded her head.
"What?" Emma asked.
"Are you not nervous?" Kimberly questioned.
Emma shook her head. "Nope, I think this band made it. No point on being nervous."
Kimberly laughed. "Ever so confident,"
"Well someone for the both of us has to be." Emma teased making Kimberly smack her.
The door finally opened and an assistant came out. She closed the door behind her and smiled at Kimberly and Emma. She walked over to the band members and placed a folder in front of them.
"Congratulations guys, welcome to Sony Records." She smiled brightly.
Cheers erupted as Kimberly picked up the folder to check the contract that was given to her new found talent. She took out the papers and placed them on the coffee table, handing each member a pen. Before she could even speak to them, her phone began to vibrate that familiar tone which could only mean one thing.
Randy was calling her.
She looked at Emma who gave her an icy look. She took out her phone and pressed a button to silence the phone. Once Randy's name stopped flashing on her screen, she placed her phone on vibrate. She gave her a small smile before turning her attention back to the band.
"So, these contracts states that you will be making two albums for Sony Records and an extension to your contract will be discussed once the two albums are made. Does that sound good to you guys and girl?" Kimberly smiled.
"Um, will we have creativity control when it comes to music?" Van, a member of the band, asked.
"Yes, of course you will. The company will pair you lot off with amazing producers who will of course help you through your album making process." Emma replied.
"Your manager, whom I met earlier this week, will be set up with a meeting so he can discuss your contract stipulations. You don't have to sign the contracts now, you can review it and whatnot and we'll go from there?" Kimberly suggested to them.
They smiled.
Kimberly felt her phone vibrate once more. She was doing everything in her power to ignore the phone call. She was winning so far.
"That sounds good, thank you Kimberly. Shall we call you when we're ready?" Lina, another member of the band asked.
"Yes, you guys have my card and Emma's so you can just call either of us." Kimberly replied.
They all shook hands before the members left the building. Emma looked over at Kimberly and smiled.
"We did it!" Emma exclaimed.
Kimberly shouted and she was pulled in for a hug.
"This is like the second artist we've signed in a month. How exciting is that?" Kimberly asked making Emma laugh.
"Very," Emma replied.
Before any of the girls could get another word out, Kimberly's phone vibrated once again. Emma looked at her best friend and rolled her eyes.
"Ah, the almighty is calling, you should answer it. You don't want him to panic." Emma said.
"Don't say that, Em. What do you have against Randy?"
"Besides his neediness? Nothing whatsoever. Oh yea, maybe the way he ignorantly breaks your heart over and over again."
Kimberly rolled her eyes and took her cell phone out of her pocket. She pressed the button to answer his phone call.
"Hey Randy," Kimberly greeted, her smile reaching from ear to ear causing Emma to roll her eyes.
"Kimmy! Why didn't you answer earlier? I've been sending you text messages and everything!" Randy replied making Kimberly laugh.
"I was awaiting an important decision, I was a bit distracted." Kimberly told him.
"Ah, that's right, so I'm sure your band was signed since you are the one handling them." Randy said making Kimberly blush by his words.
She absolutely loved it when he praised her. It gave her a rush that was just unexplainable.
"Yes, they did get signed. But anyways, what's with all the text and calls?" Kimberly asked. "You seem excited about something."
"Ah yes, well I'm picking you up. I know you drove with Emma to work today, so wait for me there, I'm on my way." Randy told her. "I'm in St. Louis right now and I just wanted to come see you since I haven't seen you in so long."
Kimberly smiled as Randy told her that good news. "Really? Randy that's amazing, but I have some work to do. I really do appreciate you coming here, but I'm packed today." She sighed. "How long will you be staying?"
"Come on, Kimmy! Emma can handle herself! Tell my beloved best friend I said hi." Randy teased knowing fully well Emma completely hated his guts.
Kimberly told Emma what Randy had just said and she gagged. Randy heard her reaction and laughed.
"Please, let's not fool ourselves. He will never be my best friend, even if he's the last man on earth." Emma said which Randy heard.
"Love that friend of yours. Her dislike for me is very humorous. Anyways, go on, tell her that you need a day off. I mean what else do you have to do? The bands already signed." Randy persisted.
"Randy, I have a studio session with an artist of mine. I need to prepare for that." Kimberly replied.
"Kimmy, you're a pro! You don't need preparation! Come on, please!" Randy begged.
Kimberly sighed in defeat. She could just see Randy pouting. How could she resist that? "Fine, I'll wait for you in front of the office building."
"Yes! You are the best! I love you, bye!" Randy told her.
Kimberly's heart skipped a beat as the three words left Randy's mouth. For the past ten years of their friendship, she's heard those words so many times, but not in the way she would like.
'If he only meant it another way,' she thought to herself.
"I love you too," She whispered as she ended the phone call.
Emma sighed. "Let me guess, almighty is picking you up?"
"I'm sorry, Em. He just wants to come see me, we haven't seen each other in so long." Kimberly explained.
Emma nodded. "Why do you always go whenever he says so? I mean you're practically like his mother."
"Emma, I'm his best friend. I'm supposed to be there whenever he needs me." Kimberly replied as she collected her purse.
"Yes, but that's bullshit. He's not always there for you. When that girlfriend of his is here, it's like you cease to exist." Emma countered.
Before Kimberly could say anything, her phone began to ring. She chose to ignore it since she knew it was Randy telling her he was outside.
"Emma, can we talk about this later?" Kimberly asked.
Emma rolled her eyes. "Kimberly, this conversation always ends the same. You're never going to leave his side, no matter how much it hurts you to see him with another woman."
"I know, but it'll hurt me more if I cease to exist in his life at all." Kimberly replied before walking out of the office.
Randy was in his car waiting for her, a smile seen on his face. Kimberly smiled as well just seeing the happiness on his face. He waved at her and she waved back. She opened the door and slid in.
"Kimmy! We need to celebrate!" Randy greeted her making Kimberly laugh. "We have finally been reunited."
"Randy, I can't go out tonight, I have a date, remember?" Kimberly reminded him.
Randy rolled his eyes. "Kimberly, can't you reschedule? I mean, come on, we need to celebrate." Randy protested. "We haven't seen each other for three weeks and you're blowing me off because you have a date? What's up with that?"
"If I reschedule again, I'm going to look like I'm not interested in him. Besides, he's leaving St. Louis tomorrow, he wants to spend his last night with me." Kimberly argued.
Randy rolled his eyes once more. "He's just trying to sweet talk to you to get you in bed. He's a Rock star, Kimberly. That's all he wants from you." Randy told her. "Instead of wasting your time with that guy, you should celebrate with me. And you know Kaci is coming back tomorrow as well, we need to cherish our time together."
"Randy, I have a date at six o clock. We have two hours to cherish our time together, but around five, you need to take me home." Kimberly said in a stern tome.
"Yeah, whatever, you'll lose track of time once we're having fun." Randy smirked before entering his driveway, driving all the way inside his garage.
They both slid out of the car and closed the door, Randy closed the garage door by simply pressing the remote. He opened the door that led to his kitchen, letting Kimberly in, with Randy walking in after her.
"Randy, I'm not going to eat anything, I'm going out for dinner in a couple of hours." Kimberly told him as they sat down by his island counter.
"Whatever, Kimberly, can you at least eat some nachos?" Randy asked. "I made them especially for you since I know how much you love my cooking." He smirked.
She rolled her eyes. "Fine, but that's it. And no drinks whatsoever." Kimberly replied.
"What kind of a celebration is this? All these limits, Kimberly." Randy retorted.
"Randy, I already told you that I have plans later, you can celebrate and I'll just watch you." Kimberly replied, crossing her arms over her chest.
"But it's no fun if I'm doing it alone." Randy pouted. "Besides the celebration is our reunion, you're being a kill joy right now."
"You should have called John or something."
"I would, but he's at home in Florida."
"How about Cody and Ted?"
"Yes, well I wanted to spend my time off with my best friend, but I guess she doesn't want to spend some time with me." Randy looked away, crossing his arms over his chest.
Kimberly couldn't stand upsetting him. But all she wanted to do was give Michael a chance. He deserves a chance. This guy has been courting her for the past year and he's been relentless. He even knew about her feelings for Randy and yet, here he still was. All she wanted to do was to give this man a chance to sweep her off her feet, maybe even forget about Randy.
"I'm sorry, Randy. It's just, I really like this guy. I haven't dated for some time and I just want to get back out there." Kimberly told him as she pushed her glasses up since they were slipping down the bridge of her nose.
Randy sighed. "Why are you so eager to date? I mean, this guy is a total douche."
"And how would you know that?"
"Because, he just seems like a douche,"
Kimberly rolled her eyes. "Randy, this is the only guy who's ever been interested in me who's not afraid of you. I think he's a keeper."
"Kimmy, do you really see yourself with this guy in the end?"
Randy didn't like Michael. There was just something about him that was setting off his alarm about the guy. He didn't seem like Kimberly's type. He was too much of a bad ass to even be near Kimberly's standards.
"That's not the point. I want to get to know him first." Kimberly replied.
Kimberly's phone vibrated. It was a text message. Randy called a waiter over and as he ordered their food, she quickly texted Michael back, asking him to pick her up at Randy's house, giving him the address to Randy's home.
"Who you texting?" Randy asked, breaking her away from her phone.
"Michael, I asked him to pick me up here." Kimberly answered.
Randy sighed. "You are no fun. I thought we were hanging out today."
"We are, until six."
"Until six now? Wow, an hour has been added? Why? Is he running late?"
Kimberly rolled her eyes. "No, Mr. Orton. It's because I was going to leave an hour early to get ready, but your not going to let me leave, so I just told him to pick me up at six."
"Why won't you just eat here?" Randy suggested.
"Oh no, just so you can watch over us? No thank you." Kimberly shook her head, knowing the consequence of staying at Randy's to have dinner. "Besides, why would you want us to eat here? Wouldn't you have to eat with us? Or are you going to be our chef? Because we both know your best dish are those nachos and that's about it."
"Whatever Kimmy, still don't think this guy is good for you."
"Why? Give me a good reason why he's not a good guy for me?"
"Because he has tattoos,"
Kimberly looked at Randy and gave him an odd look. "What? Because he has tattoos? Randy, you have tattoos."
"Yes, but I'm a good guy." Randy replied.
Kimberly laughed and shook her head. "You're adorable when you try to prove a point."
Randy shook his head. "Whatever, if that guy breaks your heart, I will kick his ass."
"I'll make sure to tell you if he does." Kimberly replied.
Randy got up and walked over to his fridge to make him and Kimberly some drinks. Kimberly played with her phone as she waited for Randy. She hated leaving Randy, but she deserved to have someone in her life as well. He couldn't be selfish with her forever. At least, that's what Emma would tell her.
Randy walked over to her and placed a drink in front of her.
Kimberly looked at her drink and raised an eyebrow. "Is this a margarita?"
"I know how much you love that. Besides, one drink won't hurt you." Randy smiled. "So where are you two going then?"
"Um, I think we're going to have a picnic." Kimberly replied making Randy laugh. "Why are you laughing?"
"You're going to have a picnic? It's fucking cold outside. What does he want? For you to get sick?" Randy questioned, obviously mocking Michael's plans for the night.
"We're going to his apartment and have one on his living room, he calls it a picnic." Kimberly smiled. "It's adorable. I think he's sweet."
"Yes, well, I think it's a dumb idea."
"Why are you being such a dickhead?"
"Because, you're blowing me off for this guy,"
Kimberly sighed. "Randy, I promise, tomorrow we'll spend the whole day together." Kimberly then thought of her schedule and cuss under her breath. "Oh, I can't I have a full schedule tomorrow."
"Its fine, Kaci is coming back tomorrow either way."
'Ah, Kaci,' Kimberly thought to herself.
Kaci is Randy's long term girlfriend, whose been by his side for the past four years. Much to everyone's surprise, Kimberly and Kaci got along well. Kimberly was the one who helped Randy court Kaci. Every step of the way, whatever Randy needed, she was there. On their first date, Kimberly waited until she got Randy's text before she came out in a dog mascot costume that she rented just for the occasion. She danced around on a bridge across from where they were having dinner. She danced for a minute or so, before picking up a sign that said 'Kaci, will you be my girlfriend?' bringing a smile to her face and saying yes to him.
A smile immediately crept up his face and wrapped his arms around her. He looked over at Kimberly who has taken off the head of the mascot. She smiled at him as he gave her a thumbs-up sign and that famous smile. She watched as he pulled away from Kaci and gave her a kiss. Her smile slowly turned upside down and sighed. She turned away and walked towards her car.
Afterwards, she went to see Emma, who at that time had no problem with Randy. But as the events piled up, Emma's dislike for Randy just grew and grew.
"You must be excited to see her," Kimberly said.
Randy grinned. "Very, I haven't seen her for so long. I miss her."
"I bet," Kimberly slightly smiled. 'Wish I could be in her place.'
- Tampa, Florida -
- John's House -
John walked out of his room rubbing his head as he yawned. He walked down his stairs and into his kitchen, finding Nicole, his PR agent having breakfast in his kitchen. He smiled as he walked over to the fridge and got a bottle of orange juice before sitting next to Nicole as she ate cereal. She was going through John's schedule for the week and it was starting to get hectic. Wrestlemania was just around the corner and during this time was when John was the busiest. Well, basically every time there was a pay-per-view John was always required to do some promotion. It was the perks of being the 'Face of the WWE.'
"Good morning, Nikki." John greeted her.
"Good morning Felix, I see you've decided to greet me with only boxers on again. You know I'm not going to jump to your ship." Nicole teased him making John laugh.
"If you can make Kimberly jump on my ship, I'll stop greeting you in my boxers." John winked. "Besides, you're far too obsessed with Legacy to even look my way, which makes me question why you became my PR agent anyway."
"I have to be professional John, I can't be nervous and giddy while I'm working. Wouldn't work out for me, would it?" Nicole told him.
John nodded his head. "True, but I mean, when you see those guys you blush furiously, which is understandable. But why Cody, Randy, and Ted? I mean, I'm worth to be obsessed over." John teased her making Nicole blush, causing for her to smack him.
"Felix! Stop it!" She ordered making John laugh.
"Oh man, messing with you is the best way to start my day." John chuckled as he drank the last bit of his orange juice.
"John, you're a dickhead." She rolled her eyes. "Anyways, you obviously have a date off today, but next week, you have a few interviews to do and some autograph signings. Everything has been scheduled and it's written on my planner and it's in your phone so you won't forget." She smiled making John scoff.
"Sweetie, I do not forget these types of things." John replied as he took out a bowl from his cupboard.
"John, you shouldn't lie now. You're not really good with remembering on where you have to be. This is why you hired me, remember? Don't want to be late over three hours again, do we?" Nicole teased, winking at him.
"Shut up, Nikki." John threw a piece of bread at her.
Nicole laughed as she looked down at John's schedule once more. Being a PR agent for John Cena wasn't very difficult since he was a pretty tame guy. He hardly did anything that was seen as unacceptable to the public so she never had to release a statement that would try and repair his image. She's not saying that John was innocent, but when he would do something that was not appropriate for his young fans, it's usually not picked up by the media, thankfully.
"By the way, Ted and Cody are on their way here since they're going to help me install my brand new flat screen." John grinned like a kid in a candy store.
Nicole looked up at him and her mouth slightly dropped. "John! You need to tell me this ahead of time! I mean, you know how I get when they're around!"
Nicole was a big fan of the Legacy. All in all, Nicole is a big fan of wrestling, but when Legacy was formed, she was just captivated by the three young men. Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase, and Cody Rhodes won her over. She didn't care if they were the bad guys, bad boys always attracted her. She was equally obsessed with each member of Legacy, but Cody surpassed the other two a bit more. There was just something about Cody Rhodes personality and his lisp that won her over. She was a bit tamed when it came to Ted since she grew to be a bit more comfortable around them and Randy was getting a bit better since she became good friends with Kimberly, Randy Orton's best friend. But Cody was just a whole different story. Every time he would come around, she would get so nervous to the point that the smile on her face could just not be wiped off. From what John tells her, she would begin to shake uncontrollably and she would grab him for support. John has grown to become one of her closest friends in the WWE, being as they had no other choice but to work together.
Nicole was hired by Vince McMahon to help John Cena handle his schedule. She first worked with Stephanie McMahon as her assistant, but since they knew in what state John was in, being late for a few signings, they brought Nicole in. She's been working with John for the last three years. They got along well so it just made things easier for them. John was like the older brother she never had. And the older brother who did nothing but constantly teases her when it came to the three members of Legacy.
John found out about her obsession with Legacy when he saw the background on her laptop was the three members of the newly created faction of that time. At first he dismissed it as just a simple crush on Randy as he was the one that the girls mostly fell for. He never understood the charm his best friend had and quite frankly he never wants to understand it. But then, he noticed how much she would squeal and cheer for the guys when they would come out to do a promo, a match or even do a quick run in to beat some guys up. Nicole was completely fixated on the television, her eyes never leaving it once until the three men were out of the screen. But he never knew the severity of things until he saw how she reacted when she would see them. The usual outspoken, witty, and motor mouth was completely star struck. She stared at the three men, her eyes wide in shock as she watched the three mingle with John for their segment. She let out a scream, startling all four men. She circled around three, observing them as she walked. Never had she seen such perfection in her life. The three men eyed her, a bit uncomfortable by her stares, but they were used to it since she wasn't their only fan. But before she could make a full circle around the three men, she fell flat on her face, causing the three member of the Legacy to run towards her to see if she was okay, while John began to laugh at Nicole.
Her clumsiness has been a regular occurrence whenever the three members were around.
But the thing that has changed over time is their attitude and feelings towards her.
At first, they were a bit iffy around her since she took obsess to a whole new level for them, but as time passed, they've learned to accept her and to actually become friends with her in some ways. She still acts the same around them, but it's been kept to some type of normalness. The doorbell rang. John and Nicole looked at one another before running towards the door. Nicole wanted to greet the two members of the Legacy before John took over. John, being the athlete beat her to the door. He opened the door and greeted the two men with a handshake. Nicole breathed in deeply before walking up to the boys, but she failed to see John's sneakers on the way, which caused her to fall flat on her face, like their first meeting. John let out another laugh seeing Nicole fall while Ted and Cody ran towards her to check on her.
Ted and Cody helped her up as Cody asked her, "Are you all right, Nikki?"
"Yeah...yeah..yeah I think I'm-I'm fine." Nicole said stuttering as she realized how close she was to Cody and Ted.
"Are you sure? You don't have any bruising anywhere?" Ted asked as he checked her face for bruising.
"Really...I'm-I'm fine, Theo." Nicole said not being able to manage her stutter.
"All right if you say so." Theodore said.
"I'm just-just gonna go-go hang out in the-the kitchen." Nicole said as she walked away from the boys.
