" Damn it, forget it. Let her go" Sim said angrily coming to a stop.
"We can't, think of Randy" Cody said.
"Well she's his quote on quote supposed father, he can look for her. I'm going to catering" Sim said turning and heading into the other direction.
Cody sighed and followed, he was hungry too.
Randy just came out of his match and walked into his locker room to find it…empty. His temper began to boil, where the hell were they? Do they not know how to listen. Randy pinched the bridge of his nose, you want something dome right, you have to do it yourself. He left the locker room in search of the kid.
Zoey stood on her tip toes at Auden's make-up station looking at all the make-up spread out on the table.
Zoey picked up the eye shadow." Can I put this on".
Auden smiled." Sure, but only a little bit".
Auden swiftly applied the eye shadow for Zoey and she looked in the mirror.
"I look pretty".
"Your beautiful".
"I wanna try this" Zoey said picking up a tube of lip gloss and smearing it on her pink lips.
"Your not allergic to any of this are you? " Auden asked suddenly.
"I don't know, mommy never let me wear make-up".
"Where is your mommy honey? ".
"She left" Zoey said non-chalently.
Auden frowned, something wasn't right." You mean she left you here all by yourself".
"Nope, my daddy's here".
"Where is he".
"Coming behind you" Zoey said looking over Auden's shoulder.
Randy was hot to say the least. He wasn't used to people not following his directions. He distinctly told her to stay put and here she was playing make-up. He stopped in his tracks when the women she was with turned toward him. Gorgeous to say the least. Randy shook the thought from his head, he couldn't be involved with the help.
Randy approached them." Little girl what do you think your doing? ".
Zoey smiled at him." I'm putting on make-up, aren't I pretty daddy".
Randy frowned." Your too young for this crap".
"Auden doesn't think so, do you Auden? ".
"I think your pretty sweetheart" Auden said locking eyes with Randy.
Randy scooped up Zoey in his arms." Do you have any kids? ".
Auden shook her head numbly.
" Good its just as well you shouldn't" Randy said before walking off down the hallway.
Zoey frowned. This wasn't going right. She turned to look at Auden who's mouth was hanging open. Zoey smiled and waved. Auden waved back briefly. Don't worry Auden, we'll meet again, and it will be under better circumstances.
Randy walked into his locker room and sat Zoey down in the chair. He went into the bathroom and got a paper towel and wet it, then came out. He stooped down in front of Zoey to wipe her face clean.
"What are you doing? " Zoey said turning her head away at the sight of the paper towel.
"I'm cleaning your face, now hold still" Randy said getting a firm hold on her chin so she couldn't move her head.
Zoey tried to jerk away but was unsuccessful. Randy finished and tossed it in the trashcan.
Zoey pouted." That was not fair".
"Life is not fair. Now here's what your going to do and you'd do well to listen this time. Go stand in that corner with your nose in the corner. I'm getting in the shower and your not to move until I'm ready to leave".
Zoey frowned at him and tossed her head but went to the corner anyway. She didn't like the vain throbbing in his head. Randy gathered his things for a shower when Cody and Sim came in. Cody and Sim stopped in their tracks upon seeing Randy.
"Just the two I wanted to see" Randy said narrowing his eyes." Come closer fellas".
"I see you found her Randy" Cody said seeing Zoey in the corner.
"Yeah I did, come closer".
As soon as they were in Range, Randy slapped both of them in the face. Zoey's eyes widened but faced the corner again quickly.
" What the hell? Can ya'll do anything right" Randy raved.
" She's not ours to be looking after Randy, she's yours" Sim said rubbing the sting from his cheek.
"Well thanks for enlightening me Sim, but that hasn't been proven. You won't make it far in this business with that attitude. You have to be able to follow instruction, whatever it is. I'm getting in the shower, make sure she stays in the corner" Randy spat while going into the shower area.
Zoey had no intention of moving from that corner not while he was that angry. Twenty minutes later he re-appeared clean and dressed. He picked up his bag and grabbed Zoey's arm in his other hand.
"Let's see if we can do better next week" Randy said over his shoulder, leaving the locker room.
Once they were in the car, Randy stopped at McDonalds for Zoey. He at least knew to feed the kid. Then he headed to the hotel for a good night sleep. They go the room and Randy got undressed into his bed clothes. Zoey kicked off her shoes. She didn't have anything to sleep in.
Randy pulled back the covers on one of the beds." There you go kid, hop in".
Zoey got in and Randy pulled the covers up. He turned to go to his bed.
"What about my good night kiss?" Zoey asked.
"What? ".
"My good night, mommy always kissed me before she said good night".
Randy groaned, she wasn't making it easy on him.
He leaned down and quickly pecked her cheek." There you go, now get some sleep".
He got in bed and went to turn the lamp off.
"Leave it on please" Zoey pleaded softly.
"Why? ".
"I'm scared of the dark, mommy always had a night light".
"Well kid, I can't sleep with the lights on" Randy argued.
"I can't sleep with it dark".
Randy stared at her, was she serious? He went to turn it off again and then he heard a sniffle. He looked at Zoey and saw tears gathering in her blue eyes. Zoey figured tears might help her get her way.
Randy sighed." All right, no tears. The light stays on".
"Thank you…da..I mean Randy".
Randy shook his head and turned over. He couldn't take this, she was disrupting his every pattern of life. What if she was his? How could he cope with the changes?
