(Last chapter, I remember I said I was moving the events that had been happening five months before January. I seriously don't remember what I was going to write for that so bear with me. I'll try to figure out how I was going to incorporate the Randy/Jeff storyline in the upcoming chapters.)
R&R.
Chapter008.
It had been two days since she'd ran into Randy and Jordan couldn't be any happier. After the several encounters they've had, Jordan had seen enough of him in a lifetime. Hopefully they wouldn't cross paths anytime soon.
Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up and smiled as she read the caller ID, "Hey stud."
"What's up baby?" He smirked.
"Just getting ready to go pick up Riley." Jordan said.
"Are you guys going to the strip club again?" He asked.
"No, we're actually helping out at the carnival." Jordan replied.
"The carnival? That sounds so…preteen." Austin said.
Jordan laughed, "We went to the carnival just last year."
"Well…" Austin started but couldn't find the right words, "Anyway, what are you helping out with?"
"Just take a wild guess." Jordan sighed.
"They added a strip club booth?" Austin asked.
"What's with you and the strip clubs?" Jordan laughed, "You need to get out more often. And no, not to the strip clubs."
"I do get out often." Austin said, "I have a date tonight."
"Oh really?" She asked.
"Mhm. This hot, skinny, big-breasted girl." Austin grinned.
"How'd you score that?" Jordan asked.
"Ouch." Austin said, "Jor baby, you and I both know that any girl would kill to go out with me. I mean, look at the way I'm built. Even my voice can woo the panties off a girl."
"Poor girl, she doesn't know what she's gotten herself into." Jordan laughed.
"She'll be in my bed by the end of the night." Austin joked.
Now who does that sounds like? Jordan thought. No no no, stop thinking about him, "Good luck with that."
"I don't need lucky Jor. I'm confident." Austin said.
"You sound just like…" Jordan trailed off.
"Like who Jor? Randy?" He asked.
"No, like Matt. Matt's just like that." Jordan said nervously.
"Uh huh." Austin started, "Do you find yourself thinking about Randy often?"
"No, why would you ask that?" She asked.
"Because he seems to be brought up in every one of our conversations. Every time I call you, you tend to make a comment about him. The same exact one but a comment nonetheless." Austin said.
"He frustrates me." Jordan said.
"No Jordan dear, you're sexually frustrated." Austin laughed.
"Excuse me?" Jordan was shocked he'd even say that.
"When was the last time you got laid?" He asked, "Was it that night we got drunk in Cancun over spring break? No, it couldn't have been. That was like…"
"2 years ago." Jordan finished.
"Wow, that long huh?" Austin teased.
"So anyway, I've gotta go. Riley's waiting for me in the car." Jordan hurried along, "I'll have to call you later. I love you."
Austin shook his head. His best friend was absolutely crazy. He knew that once someone was stuck in her head, there was no way of getting him out. And whether she wanted to admit it or not, Jordan was physically attracted to Randy.
--
Riley and Jordan had finally arrived at the carnival. There weren't many people there. They had just started setting up some of the booths. Most of the people were busy on the rides anyway.
"Jordan." Riley said.
Jordan was lost in her own world. The conversation that she and Austin had had just minutes ago had her going in circles. What did he mean when he said that she was sexually frustrated? Did he mean that she wanted Randy just as much as Randy wanted her? That couldn't be it. She couldn't stand the asshole, much less want to be in that situation with him. She shook those thoughts out of her head and turned to Riley.
"Were you saying something?" Jordan asked.
"I've been calling your name for the past 5 minutes. Where have you been?" Riley asked.
"I was just thinking about something." Jordan said.
"Obviously. You were off in another world." Riley chuckled, "Come on, let's go help out before it starts crowding."
--
Four hours later, the carnival was full of people. Every booth and every ride had a long line in front of it. Of course, there was no line that had more people than the booth that Riley and Jordan were running. The kissing booth.
Whoever wanted a kiss had to pay 3 for it. It didn't seem like it was a big help but the money would be going towards a charity and Riley and Jordan were willing to help out any way they could.
Riley had been doing the kissing booth for two hours and she was sure that her lips were seconds from falling off. Some of the guys were really good kissers and others, well it seemed like they wouldn't be improving those skills for a couple more years.
"Jordan, when are you going to help out?" She asked.
"The carnival's open for another 4 hours Riley." Jordan said, "You have an hour left of your shift."
"That's not fair." Riley pouted, "Don't you think I've done enough for now?"
"We agreed to an equal amount of time so turn around and keep kissing." Jordan smirked.
"I really don't like you." Riley glared at her.
"The tables have turned. Just last week, those words were coming out of my mouth." Jordan smirked, "Payback's a bitch."
--
It was now 11 o'clock and thankfully, Riley's shift had been over for two hours. Now Jordan was the one that had to be kissing and swaping spit with the many guys lined up around the corner.
"How's it going over there Jor?" Riley smirked.
"Shut up." Jordan said as she leaned over the booth and placed a kiss upon some guy's lips.
"You enjoying swaping spit with those guys?" Riley grinned.
Just her luck. Jordan had been stuck kissing the horny guys. Riley had kissed most teenagers who only wanted a small kiss but no, she got stuck with the horniest guys on earth. When she had offered them a snack, they took advantage and sampled the whole kitchen.
Who knew that making out was such a drag. Jordan wasn't one to complain about kissing because she of course loved it but not when it was guys who were practically eating her face off.
--
Jason had been anticipating this day for a long time. The carnival wasn't in town often and he had practically begged his parents to take him to the carnival. After all, it had been Jordan's mother who had helped organize the carnival. She had been there for a couple of hours but she had decided that she wanted to go home and rest. Of course, as soon as she walked in, Jason had asked to go back to the carnival.
"Jase, mommy's very tired." She said as she sat down on the couch.
"But mom, you promised you'd take me." Jase whined.
"I'm sorry Jase." She said.
"You're no fun." He said and crossed his arms as he pouted, "Can't Jordan take me?" He asked.
"She's already there. She's helping out with the kissing booth, remember?" She asked.
"Ew, that's gross." Jason scrunched up his nose.
"It's always been a success at the carnival sweetie." She patted his head softly, "Why don't you go play some video games or something?"
"It's not fair mom." Jason said and stomped up to his room, "I bet dad would take me."
"Then go ask him." She sighed. Sometime it wasn't easy being a mother. Especially not with her two kids. Jordan had been a sweet, understanding girl when she was young. But then as she grew up and the teenage years kicked in, she had started changing. She was just like every other teenage girl. Just having fun and living life. Jase on the other hand was the complete opposite of Jordan.

There was no place worse than the carnival. Walking around endlessly, the engulfing smell of junk food, never winning anything and losing your money just to say that you had hit one or two targets here and there.
Randy Orton could not have been stuck at any worse place. The girls had suggested to go to the carnival saying how it brought back so many memories from high school and how it'd be fun instead of getting wasted another night. Yeah, fun my ass, he thought. Right about now, he'd probably be sitting at the bar getting shit-faced instead of listening to the girls giggle and bat their eyelashes at him to help them win a prize.
"Alright, fine." Randy finally gave in as he gave the guy a ten dollar bill and he handed him five balls to knock off the three bottles, "This is so lame."
"Oh come on Randy, don't tell me you don't remember doing this for your girlfriend when you were younger?" Maria asked.
"That was back then." Randy said as he threw a ball and knocked one of the bottles to the ground.
"Ooh tough luck kid. Try again." The guy said.
Try again? I'd like to try again alright…only this time throw these remaining balls at your face. He sighed and threw another ball, "Damn it."
"Keep trying." Maria giggled.
Randy grabbed another one of the balls and threw it but this time, he missed the bottles completely. He groaned in frustration and put the ball down, "Wow, this is so fun."
"Aww, that's okay. You still have two balls left." Maria said.
"Actually, he doesn't have any. If he had any to begin with, he would have knocked them all down with the first ball." John smirked as he patted his best friend on the shoulder.
"I thought you were so strong Randy." Mickie teased, "Hey John, do you think you could help us out instead?"
Randy glared at her and shrugged off John's hand, "Watch this." He threw the ball and it instantly knocked all three bottles off the platform. He grabbed the other ball and knocked the three bottles on the other side, "Give them two prizes."

Riley had left Jordan alone at the kissing booth, saying that she had to go to the bathroom. She made her way to the port-a-potties and did her business. She was on her way back to the booth but something else caught her eye. She glanced at her watch. Perfect. She grinned and made a detour.
"Randy!" A voice said from behind.
Randy turned around to find a young girl calling his name. She looked so familiar. Where had he seen her before? Then it clicked. She was Jordan's best friend. He walked towards her and smiled, "You're Riley right?"
"The one and only." She smiled, "What are you doing here?"
"Just hanging out with some friends that decided it would be fun dragging me here." Randy replied.
"Doesn't look like you're having fun." Riley said.
"Oh believe me, I'm not." Randy said.
"Well I've got something that I think would cheer you up." Riley said.
"What is it?" Randy asked.
"You'll have to wait and see." Riley winked and pulled him along the same way she had come from. She saw about seven guys standing in line and pushed him into it, "Wait for your turn."
Randy looked at her confused, "Wait for what?"
"Trust me, you'll like it." And with that, she was gone.
--
Jordan glanced at her watch. Only five minutes left. Good, she thought. Then I can get out of here and go home and sleep. She smiled at the next guy as he gave her the money and then placed a kiss upon his lips.
"Jordannnnn!" She heard from behind her.
Oh no, what's got her so happy? "That took you long." Jordan said.
"Hey, I had to go." Riley shrugged, "So you ready to get out of here?"
"Yes." Jordan groaned, "Please kill me now."
"Not yet. You've got one more customer." Riley grinned.
Jordan turned around to find the one person that she had been trying to get out of her head. Greattt, just what I needed, she thought.
Kissing booth? Randy looked at the sign and then back at her. Perfect. This night just got better. He looked over at Riley and mouthed a silent 'thank you'. He took his wallet out and placed 20 in front of her. He slipped it back into his jacket and pulled out a tic tac and popped it into his mouth as he smiled.
"Ready when you are." Randy winked.
"It's only 3." Jordan rolled her eyes.
"I know." Randy replied, "What will 20 get me?"
"Nothing more. The sign says 3 for a kiss." Jordan replied.
"So you're saying you won't make out with me for a 20?" Randy said.
Jordan grinned as her watch beeped, "Oh look at that, shift's over." Jordan placed the closed sign on the booth and grabbed her purse as she walked around the booth.
"Hey, that's not fair." Randy said.
"Life isn't fair." Jordan said and started walking off.
Randy grabbed her arm and pulled her to him, "I paid for the kiss."
"And I told you we're closed. Your 20 are on the booth. Better get them before they disappear." Jordan smirked.
"Fine. If you're not going to give me what I paid for, then give me something else." Randy said.
Jordan glared at him, "Not a chance."
"I didn't mean sex Jordan." Randy said, "Go out with me."
Riley smiled as she watched their little banter. Hey, the kissing idea hadn't worked but somehow, she knew that Randy would not let her off the hook that easily, "It's the least you could do Jor."
Jordan turned to her best friend, "Shut up Ry. You were the one that brought him over here in the first place."
"He deserves a chance Jor. He's showed you he's not an asshole." Riley stated.
Jordan turned to look back at Randy and sighed, "Under one condition."
"What's that?" Randy asked.
"If I feel like you're behaving the exact way I know you will, I will leave. And I never want to see you again." Jordan said.
"Deal." Randy said.
"Goodnight." Jordan said as she released herself from his arms.
Randy grabbed her hand again and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she tried to push herself off of him. Randy pulled away and left a soft kiss upon her lips before releasing her, "I'll meet you at Olive Garden at 8." And with that, he started walking away but not before catching a glimpse of her once more, "That was the best 20 I ever spent." He winked, "Goodnight."
Riley squealed out of excitement, "Oh my god!" Riley grinned, "Wow, that was some kiss. Lucky girl. I wish someone would kiss me like that." Riley kept going on and on about the kiss and Jordan still hadn't said anything, "Jordan?"
Jordan finally snapped out of it, "Let's go home." She hadn't even done anything. She hadn't slapped him. She hadn't kicked him. She hadn't even punched him. Way to show off your boxing skills Jordan. She hadn't even hurt his family jewels, even after he had forcefully kissed her.
What did you just get yourself into? she thought as she walked away and turned around to see him getting in his car.
--
Randy watched as Jordan turned his attention to him and waved before he got into his car.
Step two: Get a date. He smiled, done.
A/N: Please don't chop my head off for taking so long to update XD and I hope you guys are still interested in the story. I was going to update during spring break but I didn't like the chapter so I scratched that idea. And then I got so busy with the end of the year and it put all this stress on me. I finally had the time to write so hopefully I don't have writer's block anymore. I have a few ideas for what's coming up.
