To Be Torn Between Two

Chapter 3: Breakfast

After taking a shower and changing, Kelly made her way down to the restaurant. Layla had complained that Kelly was taking too long to get ready, so she left without her. When Kelly got down to the restaurant, she realized John had saved her a seat and had already gotten her a plate of food. "About time you got down here" John greeted her with a smile. "Looking gorgeous as always" he said, pulling out the chair for her.

"Thanks John, you're looking good today too" Kelly replied sitting next to him with a smile appearing on her face. "You didn't have to get me a plate of food you know."

"I know you're capable of getting it yourself but-" Kelly interrupted John.

"But you do way too much for me John" Kelly finished for him. Meanwhile Layla was sitting down opposite Cody who was also joining them for breakfast. Kelly noticed there were two empty chairs. "Who are we waiting for?" Kelly asked, taking a bite of her food.

"Randy and Eve, they wanted to join us for breakfast I hope you don't mind" John answered but was slightly concerned when Kelly almost choked on her food. Randy and Eve?Kelly thought to herself.

"Randy and Eve?" Kelly asked, as she managed to gulp down her food. Why did it have to be Randy and Eve above all people? It hurt to see them together all the time and now she was going to have to sit through breakfast with them. Great, just great.

"Yep Randy and Eve, you gotta love them right?" John asked as Kelly practically winced at the sounds of their names. Randy cleared his throat from a couple of meters away. Kelly noticed that Eve was staring at her, only for a brief moment though. What's up with her? Kelly thought. "Speaking of the devils..." John grinned up at the couple.

"Good morning" Randy said sitting down opposite Kelly. "What are we having for breakfast?" Randy asked. "Eve and I are starved" he added, without looking at Kelly. He had seen John pull out her chair and act like a complete gentleman around her. Randy knew he shouldn't be reacting this way. They were all friends. He was just so jealous of John and Kelly even if they were only 'best friends'. He had other things to worry about, more important things, not to mention he had a girlfriend.

"Whatever you want Orton, you just go over to the buffet and get whatever you want for yourself and your girlfriend" Cody answered, causing Randy to grin and Eve to squeeze his hand gently. Kelly gripped her fork tightly when she heard Cody say the word girlfriend. The flirting went on and on between the two. Where they doing this on purpose? It sure seemed like it.

"So how are you two anyway?" John asked Randy and Eve. Due to his busy Wrestlemania schedule he hadn't spoken to Randy and Eve in the last week. " It's been ages since we last spoke" John added. Randy chuckled at his friend, trying his best to put his jealousy aside.

"We've been fine, haven't we Eve?" Randy asked a small smile appearing on his face as he wrapped his arm around Eve's waist. Seeing Randy wrap his arm around Eve caused Kelly to drop her fork into her plate. A loud clanging noise rang through the restaurant causing everyone to look at her.

"Are you ok Kel?" Kelly heard Layla ask. Kelly looked up from her half-eaten plate of food and gave Layla a weak smile.

"Yeah I'm fine" Kelly laughed nervously. Layla shot her a 'yeah right' look. "You know me, always being clumsy" Kelly smiled as Eve shot her another glance.

"You should be clumsy more often, it's kinda cute" John smiled cheekily as he gently wrapped his arm around Kelly's waist. Cody, Layla and Eve laughed at his comment while meanwhile Randy just balled his right hand into a fist. John and Kelly were too close for his liking.

"Save the talk for later people, we have a meeting in about an hour" Cody reminded them.

"A meeting?" Eve asked, looking over to Cody. He nodded in return as Eve turned to Randy, placing her hand on top of his. Kelly rolled her eyes, now this was ridiculous. She had finished her food and now she was stuck here watching Randy and Eve flirt with one another. Not to mention Randy didn't even pay attention to her today and that frustrated Kelly. John sensing that something was wrong again spoke in order to break the tension that was brewing between everyone.

"How about you two hurry up and eat so we can get to the meeting on time?" John stated as Randy shot him a deadly glare. Randy just got up and walked towards the buffet, not saying a single word. "What did I say?" John asked everyone. Layla and Cody shrugged, not knowing what was going on while Eve stared at Kelly for a third time. Kelly met her eyes for a brief moment, it was as if Eve knew her secret. Kelly's heart started beating double time; Eve couldn't know that she had developed feelings for Randy or else all hell would break loose. Finally, Eve looked away and followed Randy over to the buffet. Kelly sighed in relief, thank god that was over for the meantime.

A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER

Everyone was rushing to get into the limo, they didn't want to be late for the meeting. Randy saw John standing beside Kelly as the others got into the limo. Eve was still holding onto his hand tightly, not wanting to let go. Randy looked at Kelly before he entered the limo, and chose to sit in between Cody and Eve. Randy began talking to both Eve and Cody just so he could avoid talking to Kelly right now. He needed to avoid her because he needed time to clear his thoughts and work out his feelings towards her. From the corner of his eye he could see Kelly talking to John about something. John was making her laugh and he was always caring for her. He was so jealous, he knew that was the feeling that had swept over him. Above all else Randy knew he shouldn't be feeling this way because he was already with somebody else. "You ok babe?" Eve asked, placing a hand on his cheek. Randy smiled sheepishly at her.

"I'm fine seriously..." he mumbled. Kelly shot a glance at Randy and Eve who were...flirting again. Every time she saw them, they were flirting, it was painful to watch and now Randy was ignoring her. What the hell? At least John was here, cracking jokes at her that were causing her to laugh and forget about a certain couple, sitting opposite her. While listening to John joke around, Kelly's mind seemed to wander elsewhere. Her brain automatically started comparing Randy and John. Randy and John were both exceedingly handsome and caring. Not to mention they were both extremely talented wrestlers. Why was she even comparing the two? Yes they had many similarities but they had many differences as well. Randy was always cryptic and mysterious, plus he has Eve as his girlfriend. Kelly shuddered just at the thought of the two together. John was laid back, funny, single, a huge flirt and he always had Kelly's back no matter what happened.

"We're here" Cody announced, snapping Kelly out of her thoughts. Kelly stepped out of the limo, wanting to ask Randy what was up with his sudden change in demeanor but he was already walking ahead, arm in arm with Eve. Damn you Eve! With you around I'll never be able to ask Randy about why he keeps avoiding me... Kelly thought.

"You ready for this Kel?" John asked, offering her his arm, which caused Kelly to smile at him. John is such a gentleman Kelly thought. She wrapped her arm around his and walked towards the building in order to get the meeting over and done with.
