Grace sighed as she walked through the corridor, she needed to talk to Randy soon, just about everything, she couldn't let this steam and then boil over
She saw him talking to R-Truth and laughing and her heart melted, she loved to see that smile on his handsome face
"Hey Ron, can I talk to him for a sec?" She asked, interrupting them and Randy's jaw clenched and he leaned back against the wall from the crate he was sitting on
Truth casted a glance to Randy then her and nodded, waving as he promised to catch Randy later and Randy smiled and nodded then his jaw set when Grace came closer. He loved her yes, but he was still extremely angry
"Randy, can you please just listen to what I have to say, and when I'm done, if you want me to leave, I will and I'll never bother you again," she promised and his face softened before he instantly hardened it and gave a curt nod but he didn't meet her gaze
"Go ahead," he permitted and she took a breath
"I'll start with I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to hurt you, I love you," she said and Randy looked at her
"And that's the problem," he told her
"The problem is, I love you to, even after everything, and that's bad," he said and she smiled weirdly
"What's so bad about loving me?" She asked and Randy looked into her eyes and for the first time, she could see the vulnerability in his blue eyes
"You hurt me." He said meekly
Grace felt like she could've fallen over and drowned herself in tears, she did always hurt him didn't she? That thought was the actual worst thought she'd ever had.
"Randy, I'm so sorry I hurt you, I'm sorry for fucking you over and fucking up your life, I'm sorry for all the mistakes I make, I'm just so sorry," she admitted and he clenched his jaw
"I wanna marry you," she said and he tensed
"I was just scared. It sounds so fucking stupid but I don't think I'll be a good wife or a good mother to your children and you deserve the best, I just didn't want you to rush into this marriage thing and then have you regret it, that would've absolutely crushed me. I love you so fucking much, and even the thought of you not being around me makes me feel to die. I can't live without you Randy," she admitted, eyes reflecting the truth in her words
"Maybe they'll laugh at me, maybe they'll say I'm stupid but I'm a fool for you Randy, I'm so desperately in love with you," she said and Randy glanced at her and looked away
"And who picks up the pieces when two fools collide?" He asked and she took a sharp intake of breath, that was his way of saying he was a fool for her to
"I'm scared Randy, I'm so scared of our love, I've never felt this way before, everything that I do reminds me of you, the clothes you left lie on the floor and- and they smell just like you and I can't handle it, when you left, I slept with your sweatshirt every night because it smells like you," she admitted and Randy took a breath and closed his eyes at her revelation
"I love you Randal Keith Orton and even though I'm scared as hell that I'm not what you really want, I wanna marry you and I wanna be by your side forever," she said, and Randy looked at her, expression soft as hell
"So if you'll have me," she paused and took a breath, taking his hand albeit carefully and she smiled
"Randal Keith Orton, will you marry me?" She asked, producing a gold wedding band and Randy's eyes widened and he stared at it for a few minutes
"Are you serious?" He asked carefully
"I can't wait to be Mrs. Orton," she admitted and Randy looked at her with glassy eyes and put out his left hand, she grinned at him and slid it on his ring finger and marvelled at the way it glinted in the light
"Your ring is at John's place," he admitted and she shook his head
"I don't care, I'm just so glad you're mine again and forever to," she said rubbing his ring finger
Randy scooted up and pulled her close
"I love you so much Grace," he said and she teared up, it had been so long since she heard those words from those beautiful lips
"I love you so much more Randy," she admitted and she tilted his head up to kiss his lips, he wrapped his arms around her as their lips moved in sync
"Hallelujah!" They heard and pulled back to see John, Nattie and Triple H and Stephanie standing there, Grace had told them about her plan
Randy and Grace laughed at John's proclamation of praise and she thanked them for their congratulations and then John handed Randy a blue box and when Randy opened it, it was Grace's ring
Randy grinned and threw the towel off his shoulder and took Grace by the hand
"Grace Taylor, we have a lot of ups and downs sometimes, but that's what makes our relationship so strong, I feel like a chick cuz you proposed first but whatever," he said making everyone present laugh
"I love you and I promise you're already the perfect girl to me, and I promise to be the best husband and father to our children, I love you so much and I can't wait to marry you," he finished sliding the ring on her finger
Grace smiled as he got up and kissed her sweetly before he went to show off his ring to their friends. She felt a weight leave her as a weight was added to her finger where she would now have a tan line but she didn't really care, she could get used to the weight on her ring finger, it was a comforting weight
John wrapped his arm around Grace and sighed happily
"I'm so proud of you," he reveled and she smiled and it widened when she caught Randy's eyes and he winked, she blushed and blew him a kiss
"I'm just glad he's willing to take a chance on me," she said, looking at her engagement ring
