Could this night get any worse? I asked myself as the club started to close. I stood up and grabbed my bag and started to head outside when I banged into Al. Well I think he was more looking for me. "I'm willing to overlook that stunt you pulled before dollface we're in for an exciting night" he leered at me, why is it that the nice-looking ones are twats? I felt a familiar arm around my shoulders and the voice that went with it had a threatening edge.

"I suggest you leave her alone" why is it that when we fall out he always rescues me? Bastard.

"Or?" Al dude get a fucking clue you wouldn't stand a chance.

"Or I'd be kicked your ass from here to the gutter you're from" Randy leered and Al suddenly high-tailed it out of the joint. "We need to talk, you're coming with me" he said simply his voice softening but only slightly. With the effects of the night's alcohol intake wearing off and my head becoming clear added to the lead weight in my stomach I knew he was right. I allowed myself to be led outside and into what I presumed was his rental car. I slid into the passenger seat as he flicked the radio on. The ride was silent and almost painful.

His hand on my lower back was uncomforting as he guided me into hotel and towards the elevator. We stood on opposite sides in silence like strangers and then resumed him guiding me towards his room. I sat on the bed as we entered I felt like I was back in high school and I was awaiting one of the lectures the principal seemed to love giving me. "I'm going for a shower" he said quietly and headed into what I presumed was the bathroom. I nodded and watched his back as he left. I reached into my bag and pulled out the packet of Marlboro's. Strange how these things can cause so much trouble. I stood up and headed towards the balcony, pulling open the sliding door to reveal a spectacular view over the city. I leaned against the rail and opened the packet and pulled one out breaking it in half and letting the pieces fall to the ground below me as a tear rolled down my cheek. Why do I do this to myself? Why did I do this to him? I knew how much he loved me and how much I loved him, why jeopardise our relationship on something so stupid. I knew how he'd react and I'd done fine without them in the past why go back to it now? I felt someone behind me as I slowly let the last two halves of the last cigarette fly in the breeze before letting the packet follow. I felt his arms around my waist and his breath on my neck as I reached into my pocket for a piece of gum.

"I'm proud" he whispered softly.

"I am too" I replied in the same tone.

"I was just about to say it's your choice but you know my feelings" his arms tightened round me, they'd lost the cold uncomforting touch from before and were back to being the same arms I felt at home in.

"There's no need now." I turned round so I was facing him "I'm sorry for hurting you" I murmured

"I'm sorry for being a dick" his eyes twinkled, so he'd heard me say that then?

"I'm sorry for calling you a dick" I let my hands rest of his hips "I love you" I said my face buried in his chest.

"I love you too" his lips brushed the top of my head. "Now I suggest that you phone Ali and Laurie because you're staying with me tonight, it's been too long since I've simply held you all night" he smiled softly before kissing me. I pulled away from him and headed inside to retrieve my phone flipping it open and dialling Laurie's number.

"Hey you and Randykins made up then?" she asked, I laughed at her use of 'Randykins', think I might start using that one.

"Yes Randykins and I have made up and I'm staying here so I shall see you tomorrow kay?"

"Good shit, Don't do anything I wouldn't do. Bye sweetie"

"Bye" I flipped it shut and turned round to see Randy looking amused.

"Randykins?" he asked.

"Laurie" I explained, he nodded.

"Okay" he rooted around in his band before throwing me an RKO shirt. Cheap ass he got that stuff for free. I pulled my shirt off and slipped his on as I saw a pair of boxers land by my feet, I grinned at him as he pulled his clothes off leaving them in a heap on the floor. I let my skirt fall to the floor before I let my underwear slide too quickly replacing them with the boxers. I unhooked my bra pulling it out of the sleeve whilst he looked on amazed.

"Sorry I still don't understand how you do that fucking quick" he shook his head as I headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Thank fuck for free toothbrushes that's all I'm saying. I wandered back out to find him curled up in bed. "Hurry up I'm lonely" he whined.

"One minute" I replied smiling at his childishness as I folded his clothes, laying them in a chair followed by my own before crawling into bed next to him. He flicked the lights off and wrapped his arms around me. "Randy?" I asked after a few minutes.

"Yessum?"

"Can we not fight again? I don't like it much" I stated

"Me neither. Let's not" he replied planting a kiss on my neck. I smiled softly

"Good" I sighed and relaxed into his arms letting sleep take me.
