Here we go! Next chapter!
Sun shone through the window in Orton's room, giving his face a golden glow. Slowly, he brought himself to draw his lids open and begin the day. He yawned. He almost jumped out of his skin as he saw the wide blue orbs staring directly at him when he sat up.
"Morning!" Cody piped up, crawling up on the bed with Randy.
Randy forcefully shoved Cody. "What are you trying to do? Get out of here, you weirdo!" Randy continued to push Cody until Ted emerged from the bathroom after a flushing noise. Randy looked to Ted incredulously but Ted merely shrugged his shoulders and joined Cody on the bed. Randy thought about pushing the two of them but knew it was going to be pointless. He sighed and lied back against his headboard.
"Like I said, good morning Mr. O." Cody smirked as he realized he had won. "You know, you're awful cute without your specs on."
"Where's Evan?" Randy asked plainly, ignoring the boy's comment.
"Still sleeping. Why do you ask?"
Randy waved his hand dismissively. "Just curious..."
"Or maybe you like him better than us?" Cody smirked suggestively. "He is the smallest and cutest after all. Kind of like a..." Cody stroked Randys blanket covered thigh, "Panda bear?"
Randy blushed hard, " Excuse me?"
Cody rolled his eyes. "Don't act like you don't know what I mean..."
"Are you insinuating that I have feelings for my student? That's sick!" Randy looked down at his engagement ring. "I'm an almost married man for pete's sake!" He uncomfortably rubbed his arm.
"Almost..." Cody grinned evilly. "Almost is such a bad word..." Cody laughed and moved onto Ted's lap. "Now my Teddy bear, carry me down stairs so that we may awake sleeping beauty and prepare to venture into the day with Mr. O."
Randy drew away from his trance and angrily yelled. "What do you mean, venture into the day with me? You idiots are going to leave my house!"
"You mean Teddy's daddy's house." Cody stated smugly. "Listen sweety, you can't get rid of us. You've been adopted so today when you go shopping," Randy jerked his head towards Cody.
"How did you know I was going shopping?"
"Oh please, you have it on your 'to do' list on your fridge." Cody swatted away the thought and continued. "So we're going to go freshen up a little and wait on your porch! Be ready in a hour or we're leaving you!" Cody blew Randy a kiss and Ted stood up, carrying the young man out the door.
Randy sighed and dropped his head in his hands. Groggily, he leaned over and grabbed his glasses from the nightstand and put them on. He stretched and raised from his bed. Randy turned around and made it up before grabbing his phone, smiling warmly as he read the caller I.D. He answered. "Hello?"
"Be there in 5."
"What?" Randy's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
His fiancé's voice dripped with smugness. "I'll be down there in 5 hours."
Randy swallowed hard, beginning to panic. "Only...only 5 hours? But I though..."
"I know but I got in the plane real early this morning and you know how it is. You don't sound as happy as I would've expected." John protested worriedly.
"No Johnny I'm happy but...I had some things I needed to do is all..and...shoot! Alright baby, I'll see you soon..." Randy quickly hung up the phone and threw on some jeans and a black affliction shirt. He brushed his teeth and prepared himself before running downstairs.
His students were still pajama clad as he dashed past them. Cody saw him racing out the door and grabbed his arm. "Hey, what's up? Why you in such a hurry now?"
Randy rolled his arm away from the brunette and kept walking. "I really gotta go."
Ted grabbed his arm this time, "But I thought we could go with you."
Randy rolled away again," Well if anyone is ready now, they can ride with me. Otherwise you all stay here...or leave. I don't care!" He swung the front door open quickly and stopped in his tracks when he realized he had left his car keys in the kitchen. He ran back past them into said room and by the time he ran out the boys were sitting on the porch swing, ready to go. He eyed them curiously but pushed it away.
They all four ran up to the parking lot and looked around for Randys car. Patiently, the students stood as Randy ran over to his big black hummer and pulled it around. Ted whistled loudly.
"That there's a beaut' if I've ever done seen one." Cody squealed as Ted finished his statement in his country accent.
"Oh Teddy, I love when you talk like that!" He kissed his cheek and turned to Evan. "You know, I know you like Randy and all but everything is so big with him. Big house, big car. Maybe he's over compensating. Or maybe he just likes to match." Cody wiggled his eye brows and laughed at the gasp and blush from the smaller brunette.
Evan punched his arm. "Is that where your mind always is?...and I don't like him!" Evan almost immediately regretted his outburst as Randy looked down on him, his eyes asking questions. He scrambled for an explanation but gave up after a minute and retreated to the passenger side of the truck.
As he was about to step into the backseat, Cody pushed him aside and jumped in, locking the door. He pointed to the front seat and Evan pouted before jumping in. Randy then slid in beside him, checking the rearview mirrors and things like that and then the boys individually. He looked over Evan last.
"Mr. Bourne, Where's your seat belt?" Randy asked in his business voice.
Evan snapped up and looked around to grab it. "Sorry I..."
He trailed off as he watched Randy lean all the way over to his seat and reach across him to grab the seat belt. Randy swiftly locked the belt in place and sat back in his spot. Evan, still in shock of the warmth he felt coming off his teacher, sat there beet red. Randy ruffled his hair a bit as they pulled out and then looked at Evan curiously. "Are you okay? You look a little warm."
Cody came form the back seat. "Evan's all red, Teddy! Told you that was going to happen! When we get to the mall you owe me ice-cream!"
"Who said anything about going to the mall?" Randy yelled angrily.
"The fridge does not lie!" Cody laughed, returning to the back seat.
Randy groaned at the young man and shifted his gaze towards Evan once more. Evan must've felt it and looked up at Randy. "Sorry," Randy mouthed apologetically. Evan nodded and looked out the window. He really needed to calm down.
The quartet spent some three hours roaming the mall. Randy bought dinner for the night and some new clothes while the boys bought snacks and other small nicknacks. They entered back into the hummer,Cody and Ted immediately falling into slumber, and set their course for the university. As they were driving back home, Randy couldn't help but notice the smaller young man's choice of item that he fidgeted with in the seat next to him. Evan had bought himself a small model airplane. He swished it through the air, making low engine noises like a little kid, causing Randy to chuckle lowly. Evan really was a little kid. He reached over and stroked the brunettes hair before ruffling it.
"Mr. Bourne you're...different." Randy mumbled as they reached their destination. Evan hadn't even noticed. He was so enthralled with the plane but when the car stopped he came back to reality. He looked at his teacher curiously and smiled, not sure of what was truly going on.
Randy smiled back and exited his side. He reached in the back and woke the other two students before grabbing his bags; all four of them making their way back to Randy's place. For once he didn't have to say anything to them. Cody and Ted went right back to sleep on their little pallet of blankets from the night before and Evan laid down as well. Now was his time to prep. He had two hours left and he was surely going to make the best of it!
Immediately he set off to cooking and cleaning. Next there was a little decorating. Finally when all was done, Randy jumped in the shower and freshened up. His Johnny liked the smell of vanilla on him. He checked the time; it was 5:30 now. John would be there any minute. Randy glanced at himself once over once more. Black silk short-sleeve pajamas. John killed to see him in those. All was now ready. He sighed with relief and eased himself on the couch until the door bell rang. Excitedly he jumped up, leaving all his tired behind. He raced for the door. Randy was bouncing off the walls and, finally gaining composure, opened the door. He squealed and jumped in John's arms, kissing him long and deeply.
"Well, someone missed me!" John smiled after they broke for air.
"More than you'll ever know." Randy kissed him again but stopped when the figures accompanying John caught his eye. "Wade? Justin? Heath? Johnny...What are they doing here?" Randy angrily shoved past John to get in Wade's face.
"It's good to see you too, Mr. Orton." Wade said rather unsure.
"You make me sick." Randy spat at the poor young men and turned to John. "What the heck man?"
John turned around and caressed Randy's hand soothingly, "I'm sorry sweety. You see.." John pulled Randy in the house, away from the students. "The truth is that the boss didn't really give me a weekend vacation." Randy glared at him. "You know how Steph is! She doesn't like for us to leave our jobs! She's already going out on a limb with letting me off for the wedding." He sighed and pulled off his cap, skimming his hand over his buzz cut. "My schedule's pretty hectic..."
Randy rolled his eyes. "Then why are you here- and I want the truth John!"
"Well..." John squeezed his eyes shut and inhaled deeply. "!" John gasped for air again; the jumbled sentence nearly killing him.
"...Don't play with me. Say it slower," Randy seethed. He grabbed John's hat and tapped the top of his head with it.
John rubbed his arm sadly. "Well, I'm only here for the weekend because our football team has their play-offs down here against Florida U."
Letting out an aggravated groan, Randy pushed John. "As much as I hate it, I can live with that. What I cant live with is those brats! Why are they here? Doesn't the university pay for you guys to stay at a hotel or something?"
"Randy, we're a big team and they ran out of rooms. They're students so I know that the school wouldn't go for me leaving them in a whole different hotel." John sighed and slumped his shoulders down. "I didn't know where else they could go..."
Randy pushed John. "Well you could've at least told me that you were bringing them."
"I didn't think you minded...you said how there was two extra joined guest bedrooms." John retorted softly.
"I wanted us to be alone. You said it was just going to be me and you! Then you turn around and bring these guys!" Randy shoved John backwards hard. John clumsily stumbled until he bumped into something soft. Turning around he realized he bumped into the tall fair-skinned brunette. Randy gasped and shooed Cody away panicky.
John looked around Cody and saw Ted and Evan as well, sitting up on their pallet. He slowly shifted his sight to glare at Randy. He straightened up and began to smirk and nod his head at the tall, sweating teacher. "Oh...Alone this weekend, huh?"
"John...L-Look let me explain," Randy stammered out, reaching his hand out to console the obviously furious male.
John grabbed the hand and locked their fingers together, jerking Randy dangerously close. "What's there to explain? You've got three men here in your house and you're angry at me for bringing my students?" John leaned close to Randy's face. "Whatever explanation you have, it better be good."
Randy gulped and shoved John away a little. "Well you see, what had happened was...ummm...!" Randy blushed as he tried to find the proper words.
"Don't worry Mr. O, I've got this one."Cody piped up rubbing his eyes. "See John...your name is John right?" The coach nodded and Cody continued, "Well John, Mr. Orton here put his job on the line so he could talk to you on the phone yesterday. I over heard him and we three are blackmailing him for it. Whatever the case, we said to keep hush about it if he let us stay here with him and meet you. He's just holding up his end of the bargain." Cody yawned as he finished and then turned to the confused John and rather embarrassed Randy. He laughed and outstretched him hand. "Cody Rhodes."
John looked down at the hand and then to his fiancé. "All that true, Ortz?" Randy nodded and John let out a sigh of disbelief. He shook his head a moment and then finally took the offered hand. "Okay...?John Cena." John cheerfully introduced himself. "I'm the athletic director down at Massachusetts University and if you don't know it yet," He grabbed Randy's hand and raised it up, "His fiancé." He kissed the engagement ring and snuggled Randys hand against his cheek. He could see the worry fading from his boyfriend's face as it was replaced with a little bit of relief.
Cody motioned for the other two boys to come over and in an instant his boyfriend was by his side, pulling the smallest boy with him. Ted reached out to shake John's hand. "Ted Dibiase Jr. Pleased to meet you."
John firmly shook the hand. "Hey, aren't you mr. Dibiase's boy. Son of the dean right? The resemblance is uncanny. Good to see you." He looked to the still groggy short boy and reached out. "John Cena."
Evan focused his eyes on the hand and yawned before drawing his own hand forward to shake. "Evan Bourne."
John couldn't help the 'aww' that escaped him as he looked at the sleepy brunette. Randy smirked as well and John turned to him mouthing, "Monkey, raven, panda?" Randy nodded and John smiled at them, giving a huge dimpled welcome. "It is truly a pleasure. Surprisingly, I've heard all about you three. One question though: Are you all giving Mr. Orton a hard time on his first week?" All three innocently shook their heads and John cackled loudly, feeling the irritated glare from his fiancé at the reply.
Randy eased up a little and went over to the door. He motioned the three boys accompanying John inside. Immediately they rushed in, causing John to give them warning glares. They then straightened up. "Well it's only customary that you introduce yourselves to my guests seeing as how you'll be rooming with them."
Cody scrunched up his face, "Ortz, I don't think all six of us can fit on the living room floor..."
"No, you'll be in the guest bedrooms upstairs...and don't call me Ortz! I'm your teacher!" Cody waved away Mr. Ortons rage and looked to the Massachusetts students.
The tall black haired student came forward first. "Hello there, the name's Wade Barrett. I'm head of the football team and star quarterback at Massachusetts U." He finished, his strong brittish accent thick as he spoke.
The short red head bounced up next. "My name's Heath Slater! Line back!" his accent was more southern. He let out a loud yell of excitement and the last of the boys came forward laughing.
"Justin Gabriel. Line backer as well.". The possibly South african male extended a hand to Cody, who quickly shook the hand.
"Im Cody Rhodes. This is Ted and Evan. I think we'll get along just fine." Cody smirked and nodded to his boys before turning to Randy. He grinned even wider. "Mr. O, we'll go settle in and give you an Johnny some down time. Cmon guys, let's go upstairs."
"Let's go men," Wade commanded to the other two of his boys as well.
The six boys went up to the room, leaving a silent area for Randy and John. Randy sighed and leaned his forehead down on John's. "Why do I go through so much grief?"
John laughed and pressed a small kiss to Randy's temple. "It doesn't matter. Things are fine now. Sorry about not telling you about...you know...this and all."
Randy pushed the thought and sighed. "It's alright. I should've told you about this thing with my students. Do you see all the trouble you're causing me?"
John laughed. "Yeah. I'm sorry about that too. At least I'm here, right? Everything still works out like planned."
"John, I had a lot of things special planned for today. I made a good dinner for the two of us; medium rare steak and fried potatoes with Mac and cheese and dinner rolls. I went out of my way to make me smell real good and I even put on your favorite pajamas of mine." Randy complained, John kissing his neck all the while. "You didn't even notice, John."
Cena laughed at his fiancé. "You are the woman in this relationship. Seriously. I'm sorry I didn't notice but as soon as I got here we were biting one another's heads off. Now that we're not though, I must say, you do smell very intoxicating and you know I love the way silk clings to you. So beautiful..." The last statement slipped out sickly smooth against Randy's ear.
Randy shivered and moved back, putting himself on full display. "You really think?"
"Oh Randy, I know," a seductive gaze flashed in the paler man's eyes as he took of his cap and advanced on the teacher. He wrapped his arms around Randys waist and guided him to a wall near the kitchen, pinning him there.
Randy grinned at the dominating coach and shoved him a little. "Coach, I don't think this is right." He feined innocence. "We should be training for the big game not fooling around like this..."
Cena chuckled, "Oh but Randy we are training. We'll work on some stretches first, get you all limbered up and then I'll see just how flexible you are." The playful banter was oozing with lust. Randy giggled.
"Oh coach Cena, you're a very bad man!" Randy softly slapped John's arm and escaped into the kitchen. John smirked and followed after the man. Things were about to pick up.
Meanwhile upstairs, the six boys decided upon how to split the joint rooms. Obviously, Cody and his boys took one room while Wade and his boys took another. They easily agreed upon that. As they finished settling in with Ted and Evan sleeping soundly, Cody went and opened the door joining the rooms, shamelessly peeking in on them. They had finished as well, Heath and Justin cuddling up by the headboard of the bed, sleeping hard like Ted and Evan. Wade was neatly placing their bags by the wall before he noticed Cody.
"Can I help you with something?" Wade strode over to Cody, hands on his hips.
Cody smiled up at him. "I need some help, yes." Wade looked at him expectantly, easing a little. "Tell me about John and whatever you know about Randy." He sat down on the floor on his side of the door Indian style.
Wade followed, sitting on the floor of his side as well. "And why should I?"
Cody shrugged his shoulders, "I want to know." He and Wade locked glares for a while until the Brit began to speak.
"Very well. I'll tell you but why do you want to know?"
Cody clapped his hands together in triumph. "Well, my little friend Evan over there is a college student. College is where you are supposed to have the funnest most crazy days of your life. For two years he hasn't done any of that! He's like some up tight...ugh! It's like he needs to go back to how he was in high school. He was a crazy wild child and I see the potential to revert him back to that state in Randy but with him marrying your coach, it's interfering with my plans." Cody's eyes were a bit sinister but Wade nodded calmly.
"So are you trying to break off their engagement and hook up Randy and your little friend?" Wade simply put it, crossing his arms.
Cody shook his head, "Not really. I don't want to break up John and Randy but...look Evan needs to get some action!" Cody stated rather bluntly.
Wade nodded some more and looked at Evan. The little man was undeniably cute. He looked back at Cody. "They've been together since their college days but got engaged only two or three months ago. They had some type of on-again off-again relationship." Cody knitted his eyebrows. "Apparently they had other priorities and couldn't really stay together. Besides that, neither one could stay fully faithful to the other. I'm not sure about Randy but John can't control his love for guys with accents. They'd find the other flirting with people and, in a fit of rage, break off the relationship."
Cody nodded and then once more knitted his brow, pointing at Wade and speechless. "Wha?"
Cody smiled impishly, "Guys with accents? Hmm...Wade you have an accent now don't you?" Cody smirked even wider as the young Brit blushed. "You've got a thing for big muscled coaches?"
Wade shook his head vigorously and fiddled with his hair, curling little pieces around his finger. "No...I mean well yeah but...I Uh..."
Cody gasped happily. "Oh! You've got a thing for Coach Cena!"
Wade shoved his hand over Cody's mouth. "Quiet down will ya..." He blushed even harder.
Cody nodded and moved the hand. "That is priceless. That's why Randy doesn't like you. Guess he knows you got the hots for coach. Well me and Ted will help you out with Cena as long as you and your boys will help me with Randy and Evan."
Wade reached over and shook Cody's hand. "Deal."
"What other stuff you know?"
"Let's see here..." Wade scratched his head. "Randy is about...30? And John's like 34 or something. I can't remember so well but I do know this: Randy is a brunette guy. He's all about cute and cuddly but likes to be treated roughly. So your little friend definitely already has him half way hooked. If he can conjure up a mean streak somewhere along the way he'll have Randy; hook, line, and sinker."
Cody chuckled lowly. "Thanks Wade. Wait- how long are you guys staying?"
Wade sighed and slapped his hand over his face. "That's right. We're only here for the game. If we lose we'll be setting out to Massachusetts by Monday."
"If you win the game?"
"We'll stay for another week but Florida U is good. Honestly, we only have a 40% chance of winning." Wade crossed his arms. "Our star player is out of commission and no one wants to work under my orders."
Cody sat there pouting for a moment until a sly sinister smirk crossed his face. Wade looked at him questioningly. "Well I'll just have to even out those odds right?" Cody let out a breathy laugh and waved the thought away. "That'll be taken care of, Wade. So if you can find anything else, come tell me. For now, you need to focus on your game and get a good nights sleep. We'll talk more in the morning."
Wade nodded and stood to his feet before worriedly looking towards the wall. He could hear his coach and Randy going at it and it made him a little sick and embarrassed all the same. He shivered and turned to Cody who was drinking in the noise. Cody walked over and patted his back. "Listen, let it be until tomorrow. Then we'll make sure it's you and coach, huh?" Cody smirked as Wade gasped and turned to him. He couldn't help but laugh at the blushing black haired man.
Giving a curt nod, Cody walked back to his room and snuggled into bed behind Evan. Ted opened his eyes briefly and moved his hand over Cody's cheek. "You love playing match maker, don't you?" the question was softly murmured as Ted smiled.
Cody grinned back and laced their fingers in one another's. "It worked for us, didn't it?" The two giggled and kissed briefly before kissing Evans cheek and drifting off to sleep. And now the master plan was set in motion.
Maybe im liking this story too much..
