Chapter 3
The next morning, Sydney woke up before Randy and got in the shower. While in the shower, her cell phone went off with a text message from her mom. Then her other phone went off with an email from Stephanie. When she got out of the shower, Randy was pulling on a pair of shorts.
"Your phones went off." Randy stated.
"Thanks." Sydney responded as she picked up both phones.
Sydney, where are you. I'm worried that you didn't call me last night after the show. Are you ok? -Mom.
I'm fine mom. I hung out with some of the stars last night and stayed at a hotel as I was too tired to drive back. -Sydney
Ok. Next time let me know. Your father said he saw you talking to Randy Orton. Is that true? -Mom
I will mom. Yeah, he came over and started talking to me. Don't worry mom. I'm a big girl and can take care of myself. -Sydney
I know. But I'm still going to worry and we both don't want you to get hurt. Your father would kill him if he hurt you. -Mom
I know. But I need to get ready to get out of here and grab something to eat. Is dad going to be home today? -Sydney
Ok. As far as I know he will be. Why? -Mom
I have some news to tell the both of you and I need to do it today. -Sydney
Ok. Are you in trouble, honey? -Mom
No. It's about that job interview I had yesterday. -Sydney
Ok. We'll see you tonight. -Mom
Sydney responded to Stephanie's email while Randy was in the shower. Stephanie wanted to have a quick meeting with her before leaving. Once Randy was out of the shower, the two left his room and headed downstairs. Randy went and sat in the hotel restaurant while Stephanie and Sydney sat in the lobby and talked.
"Sydney, I have great news for you. My dad is willing to allow the company to move you at no expense to you. I was able to find you a nice penthouse apartment about 2 miles from where we live in Greenwich. How does that sound?" Stephanie told her.
"That's great! I can't wait. I will be telling my parents as soon as I get home today. When do I move?" Sydney responded.
"I can have a moving truck at your parents house as soon as this afternoon if you want." Stephanie stated.
"That's perfect. I know my dad is not going to like this, but I need to get out of California." Sydney responded. "Thank you so much, Stephanie."
"I understand. You're welcome, Sydney. And once again, welcome aboard." Stephanie stated as they parted ways.
Randy and Sydney grabbed something to eat and headed back up to his room. Sydney packed up her stuff and kissed Randy one last time before heading home. Randy didn't want her to leave.
"I will be back here tonight around 8pm. Let's meet in the lobby and go get dinner." Sydney stated.
"Sounds good. I'll be here waiting. Good luck with your parents." Randy responded.
"Thanks. I'll see you tonight." Sydney stated before she got in her car and took off.
The drive back to her parents house didn't seem nearly as long this time. She couldn't wait to get out of California and start living on her own. She prepared what she was going to say and how she was going to say it as she drove. Two hours later she pulled into the driveway of her parents house.
"Mom, I'm home." Sydney stated.
"Hi honey. Your dad is in the living room with the girls and Gunner is in his room." her mom stated.
"Ok. I need Gunner to be in the room as well." Sydney responded.
"Ok. I'll call him down here. Does any of this have to do with Randy?" her mom asked.
"Nope. I told you this morning it has to do with the job interview." Sydney answered.
"Ok." her mom responded as she headed up to get Gunner.
Once everyone was in the living room and the TV was shut off. Sydney stood in front of her family and took a deep breath. She didn't think it was going to be this difficult. But she knew she had to tell them.
"You all know that I had a job interview in downtown LA yesterday. Well first I got the job and I officially start next Monday." Sydney stated.
"That's great news. Congratulations." her dad responded.
"There's more to it though." Sydney stated.
"There is?" her dad asked.
"Yes. Because the company is based in Connecticut and the two people I will be working for work in Connecticut, I will have to move out there. Now before you say anything, the company is paying for all the moving costs and transportation costs. They also have a place for me to live waiting in Connecticut." Sydney answered.
"So you took a job that is transferring you across the country?" her dad asked.
"Yes. I will be traveling a lot with the company as my bosses travel a lot as well." Sydney answered.
"What's the name of this company and who exactly are you working for?" her dad asked.
"I knew you would ask that. And I know what you are going to say, but I am an adult and I can make my own decisions. The company is one that you are highly familiar with and the people I am working for are the same people you work for. We just do different jobs." Sydney answered.
"You are going to work for Stephanie and Shane McMahon and the WWE?" her dad asked getting irritated.
"Yes. I applied for the position 2 months ago after I graduated with my degree. Stephanie agreed to give me the interview while they were in town and I got the job." Sydney answered.
"Why didn't you tell us?" her mom asked.
"Because I wanted to do this on my own." Sydney answered.
"When are you moving?" Gunner asked.
"Gunner!" their dad snapped.
"I just wanted to know." Gunner responded.
"A company paid moving truck will be here this afternoon. It won't take long for them to get all my stuff." Sydney answered her brother.
"So soon?" her mom asked.
"Yes. It's going to take over a week to get my stuff to Connecticut. They will be paying for me to stay at the Hyatt in LA until Sunday. Then I will be driving to Phoenix and continuing from there." Sydney answered.
"Don't get involved with anyone in the company. Watch your back and know that I see things when most people don't." her dad warned her.
"I'm a big girl, dad. I know how to take care of myself. I'm not interested in getting involved with anyone right now. I just want to live my life and work for a well established company that has excellent benefits and awesome pay." Sydney responded.
No one else said a word after that. Sydney headed up to her room and packed all her clothes into small boxes and stacked them in her car. She also packed up her bathroom with the things that she would need over the next week. The movers came at 1pm and were done by 4. Sydney said goodbye to her family and got in her car. As she drove the two hours to LA she sent Randy a text message.
Hey sexiness. I'm on my way back to the hotel. Should be getting there by 7 hopefully.
Good to hear. I'm just hanging out with Cena in the hotel gym. How did it go with your parents?
Better than I though it would go. They know that they can't stop me from living my life.
Good. So are you staying with me tonight?
Only if your game.
Oh I'm game.
Alright. I will see you in a few hours.
Sweetness.
Sydney continued on her way to LA. It was almost 7pm when she pulled into the hotel parking lot. She sent Randy a text letting him know she was there. He left his room and headed down to the lobby to wait for her. Sydney let Stephanie know that her stuff was out of her parents house and on it's way to Connecticut.
As soon as Sydney entered the lobby, Randy walked over to her and they disappeared up to his room. Randy couldn't wait to get his hands and other body parts on his hot little number. Usually Randy was the type of guy who slept with you once and then moved on. But there was something about Sydney that kept him wanting more.
"I've been going nuts since you left this morning." Randy stated in between kissing her.
"I've missed you too." Sydney teased.
It didn't take them long to continue where they left off last night. Sydney was so into what they were doing that she didn't hear her phone go off. It was her dad calling to make sure she was ok and of course when she didn't answer, he got even more concerned.
Once Randy and Sydney took a break from what they were doing, Sydney called her dad back. She explained to him that she was on the road and couldn't find her ear piece. She told him that she made it to the hotel and was getting ready to get something to eat and then heading to bed. She hung up the phone and she and Randy did exactly what she told her dad.
