**Thank you SO much for the fantastic reviews!! I really appreciate the feedback and I'm so glad that you guys like this story! I'm having a blast writing this. Thanks again!**

Sophie and Randy curled up on the couch and began watching Fast and Furious. Randy had his arm around her and after awhile, Sophie gave into her heart and allowed herself to rest her head on his shoulder. Randy leaned down and kissed the top of her head and held her close. There was just something about her that he couldn't quite explain. But he was definitely feeling something for her.

Next thing Randy knew, he felt somebody climb onto his lap. He opened his eyes and there was Hunter. "Hey, you spent the night here? Cool!" Hunter whispered.

Randy looked around, it was sunshiny outside now. He smiled at Hunter, "Yes I guess I did. You mom and I must have fallen asleep."

"She's still sleeping, you should come see my room." Hunter said quietly.

"But won't your mom wake up if I move?" Randy asked.

"Possibly, but then she'll make breakfast." Hunter said with a smile. "Come on."

Randy got up carefully and made sure to tuck Sophie in. He went into Hunter's room with him. In his room there were posters of the Incredible Hulk, Spiderman and a Bakugan calendar. He had a tv with a dvd/vcr combo and he had a Playstation 2 system.

"Want to play video games?" Hunter asked.

Randy looked at his watch, it was 7:15am. "Buddy, do you always get up this early?"

Hunter nodded, "Yup. Wanna play?"

Randy plopped down on the floor, "Sure."

A little while later Sophie stirred. She opened her eyes and looked around. No signs of Randy. Sophie plopped back down. "I knew it was too good to be true." She mumbled to herself. "What was I thinking? What would someone like him want with a girl like me?" She sat back up and took the blanket off, She looked at the clock, "7:45am…UGH." She took the blanket off the couch and started to walk it back to the laundry room when she heard Hunter's video game.

Sophie smiled. At least she had Hunter to cheer her up. "Morning buddy," Sophie called as she walked past his door. "Let me take a shower and I'll make you some breakfast."

"K mommy," Hunter called. Randy sat next to him and smiled. "She thinks I left." Randy thought to himself. "Hey buddy, where's your mom's room?" He asked.

"It's the room at the end of the hall." Hunter replied still not taking his attention off of the tv screen.

"Hey, want to make a surprise breakfast for your mom?" Randy asked.

"YEAH!" Hunter exclaimed. "But I'm only allowed to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches."

"I'll do the cooking, you can help me." Randy replied. "But, how long is your mom in the shower for usually?"

"A LONG time," Hunter said as he shut his tv off.

Sophie was in the shower. She was leaning against the wall letting the water rain down on her. She couldn't believe how much fun she had had the night before. It really seemed like her and Randy had a lot in common. And she just couldn't get over how good he was with Hunter. She knew Hunter could be a bit of a chatterbox and a bit clingy, but it didn't seem to bother Randy at all. But yet she was still angry with herself for letting herself let her guard down. Sophie thought about the pics that Gail Kim had taken on her phone. There was the one of her and Randy kissing and her getting kissed by John and Randy. She just wasn't sure if she was ready to see them yet. Although she had to admit she had had such a wonderful night. Sophie sighed and shook her head. She realized that Randy had never even asked her for her number. But yet he kissed the top of her head while they were watching the movie. So many different feelings were racing through her head.

Meanwhile Randy and Hunter were busy making pancakes and eggs and bacon. Hunter was being a huge help by showing Randy where the pots and pans were. Randy and Hunter mixed the pancake batter together and Randy was letting Hunter pour the batter onto the griddle.

Sophie finally got out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel. As she stepped out of the bathroom, she thought she caught a faint smell of bacon. "Hmm…neighbors must be cooking again. Maybe I'll take Hunter out for breakfast." She thought to herself as she looked in the closet. She settled on a pair of boot-cut jeans with a cute baby-doll t-shirt that had the Happy Bunny on it. It had the bunny in the toilet and under it the caption read "It's one of those days". She pulled her hair back into a messy bun and left a couple strands of hair frame her face. She threw on a little bit of makeup and took a deep breath. "Ok Sophie, let's start our day."

As Sophie walked out of her room, she could smell breakfast cooking. She instantly thought Andrea had shown up for details. Sophie walked into the kitchen and was in shock by the sight!

There was Randy standing behind Hunter who was on a chair helping him turn the pancakes with the flipper. Sophie couldn't help but smile. She quietly stepped backwards and dashed to the living room to dig her camera out of her purse. She came back and took a picture.

The flash gave away her presence. Randy turned and smiled when he seen her. She was just a laid-back, non-high maintenance kind of girl. "Good morning beautiful." He said to her.

Sophie smiled, "Good morning. I can't believe you guys are making breakfast!" She turned towards Randy, "I have to admit, I thought you left."

Randy stepped away from Hunter and wrapped her in his arms, "I would never have left without saying goodbye. I was playing video games with little man."

Sophie looked up and smiled at him. The two locked eyes and before Sophie knew what was happening, she found herself in the midst of a kiss.

Randy couldn't hold back. He wanted to kiss her good morning. He thoroughly enjoyed waking up next to her. He had decided to take a chance and lay one on her. It wasn't a "passionate, take me now" kiss but more like a "sweet , I like you" kiss.

They both pulled back with a bit of a smile and blush on their faces. "So do you work today?" Randy asked.

Sophie shook her head, "No, my mom was trying to talk me into bringing Hunter over there to visit but I hadn't figured out my day yet. What about you? I suppose you have a show tonight."

Randy nodded, "Yeah, down in Des Moines. But then I'm off on Sunday and Raw is in Green Bay on Monday night."

"So what time do you need to leave here to not be late?" Sophie asked checking on how Hunter was doing.

"About 1pm. Then I'm there early enough to check in and hit up a gym before it's time get ready for the show." Randy replied. He was trying to run the logistics in his head of how he could stick around for the weekend.

"Ok Hunter, how about you go and set the table with silverware and napkins and we'll carry the food out." Sophie said helping Hunter off the chair.

"You got it mom." Hunter said hopping down.

Once Hunter was in the dining room Randy looked at Sophie, "What if you guys come to the show in Des Moines with me? Then, when the show is over, we can go and relax at the hotel and drive back on Sunday?"

"Randy, I don't know. It sounds like fun, but I don't know how Hunter would do. Plus, I'm sure you don't need him hanging on you all day. He's growing attached to you and I need to be careful with that." Sophie said looking unsure.

Randy was taken aback for a moment. He now knew what John was talking about. Single mom's have a lot more to worry about then women that don't have kids. But this wasn't about a booty call or anything like that. He really liked her.

Just as Randy was about to respond Hunter came back in. "Table is all set mom."

Randy helped Sophie grab the plates of food and they brought them to the kitchen table. Sophie went back into the kitchen and came out with some orange juice and milk. She poured Hunter a glass of orange juice and looked over at Randy, "What would you like?"

"Milk please." Randy said handing her his glass.

Sophie filled up his glass and then poured herself a glass of milk. She helped Hunter cut up his pancakes and began to eat. She looked across the table at Randy and couldn't help but smile. She had to admit she liked being around him. Randy would look across the table at her, and she looked like she was also in deep thought.

As they sat there eating, Hunter was busy asking Randy a bunch of questions about what it's like being a wrestler. Hunter took a drink of his orange juice, but he lost his grip of the glass and he spilled it on his shirt. Hunter instantly began to cry.

Sophie jumped up to grab a towel. "It's ok. You don't have to cry. I'll get you more juice and you'll be fine."

Randy rubbed Hunter's back. "Do you want me to grab you a new shirt?"

Hunter nodded wiping his tears. Sophie looked over at Randy, "His new wrestling shirts are on his bed, you can grab him either one of those."

Randy got up and came back with a new shirt. When Sophie took Hunter's shirt off, he noticed a scar going from just under his throat to the top of his stomach going vertically and two small scars on both sides of the big scar. "What's this?" Randy asked Hunter as he pointed to his chest.

"That's my surgery." Hunter said as she accepted the shirt from Randy. "Thanks for getting my shirt."

"No problem, what surgery?" Randy asked.

"Hunter was born with a heart defect." Sophie explained. "I won't go into too many details, but he had a heart cath at 18mths and then had open heart surgery when he was three and a half. But now he's all fixed and can play sports and participate in gym class with no restrictions."

"Holy cow, really?" Randy said astonished. He couldn't even fathom having someone so young go through such a major surgery. He had done the make-a-wish visits and the children's hospital visits, but this is someone that he now knows.

"Yup. He was my trooper. I have a scrapbook made of the whole ordeal." Sophie replied. Let's just say it was a very humbling experience that was a total wake up call to make sure that my priorities were in place."

"Yeah, no kidding." Randy said still in shock.

After breakfast, Hunter ran off to play and Sophie and Randy were cleaning up. Sophie looked over at Randy, "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course, what's up?"

"Would you still be interested in some company?" Sophie asked biting her bottom lip.

Randy wrapped his arms around her, "I sure would."

"Well, I was thinking about it during breakfast. Maybe mom would want to take Hunter overnight? Then we could have Sunday also. I'd have to pick Hunter up Sunday night though because he has daycare on Monday." Sophie said to him holding him back.

"I say make the call." Randy said leaning down and stealing another kiss.

Sophie let herself kiss him back. Her head was spinning. She couldn't believe how she was letting herself fall for him. This time the kiss made its way into becoming a French kiss. They slowly explored each other and enjoyed the moment.

Sophie pulled back to grab her phone and Randy playfully spanked her on the butt and smiled at her. He was falling hard for this girl, and he still barely knew her!

Sophie's mom answered the phone on the second ring. "How was your birthday dear?"

"Well, I don't know if you would believe me if I told you." Sophie said with a smile.

"Honey, I think I can hear you smiling. Did you and Andrea do something special?"

"Not exactly. It's a bit of a long story, and I can't go into it too much right now, but I was wondering if you and dad would be able to take Hunter for the night. I would get him tomorrow afternoon early evening." Sophie replied.

"Sure honey, no problem. What are you going to do?" Her mom asked.

"Well, I'm going to take a bit of a road trip to Iowa for the night." Sophie replied as her and Randy loaded the dishwasher together.

"Iowa? Sure, honey. Bring him over early enough and Papa and I will take him to Como Zoo and we'll wear him out." Her mom replied.

"Sounds good. I'll see you in a bit." Sophie replied. She looked at Randy, "We're good to go." Then she decided to be daring and she leaned across the dishwasher and kissed him.

He kissed her back and smiled, "What do you want me to do?"

"Get ready however you need to, and I'll get Hunter ready." Sophie replied.

"Sounds good." Randy replied. He headed out to his truck and came back in with his duffel bag. "Do you mind if I take a shower?"

"Of course not, I'll get you a towel." Sophie said leading him to her room.

Randy looked around. It was a small room. He could tell that she let Hunter have the big room. She had a full-size bed and she had pictures all over her walls. She had a computer desk with her laptop on it and another desk that had scrapbooking stuff on it.

She led him into the bathroom. "Here you go."

"Thanks babe." Randy said kissing her again. She smiled back at him and headed out.

Sophie headed to Hunter's room and told him that he would be spending the night at Me-Maws and to pack some toys. She packed his clothes. Then she headed out and called Andrea. "Girl, you'll never guess what I'm getting ready to do."

"Oooh, what?" Andrea asked excitedly.

"I'm going to Iowa with Randy. Mom's taking Hunter for the night. Then we're coming back here on Sunday." Sophie replied.

Andrea squealed, "Girl, that's great!! Tell me about him."

"Well, he's taking a shower, so I have to give you the short version. He's a wrestler with the WWE and he's so sweet. He's great with Hunter and he's a great kisser. Do you realize I haven't kissed a guy in almost 7 years!"

Andrea laughed, "Girl, I'm so happy for you. Does he live here?"

That's when Sophie's balloon was burst. "No, he lives in Missouri. And I know that, but man this feels really good." She said almost teary. "I've totally let myself fall too hard for this guy. Maybe I shouldn't go."

"Don't you dare cancel!" Andrea exclaimed. "I didn't mean to rain on the parade, I was just wondering. You enjoy every moment of this because you just never know."

"Shoot, he's done showering, I've gotta go. I'll talk to you Monday at work." Sophie hissed and she hung up quickly.

Sophie was in her room packing when Randy came out of the bathroom in a towel to get to his duffel bag. "How was your shower?" Sophie asked.

"It was good. Are you all packed?" Randy asked giving her a quick kiss.

Sophie nodded, "Yup, I'm all packed and ready to go. Are you going to wait here while I drop Hunter off?"

"Well I figured we could drop him off and then head to the tire store and get you a new tire, and then we could head to Des Moines. Or is that not ok?" Randy replied.

"No, it's ok. I just figured you wouldn't want to get near my parents yet. I didn't want you to think I'm some psycho girl making you meet my kid and my parents all on the first date." Sophie said quickly.

Randy turned to look at her a bit concerned. There was something she wasn't quite being honest about. "What do you mean I would think you were some psycho girl?"

Sophie rubbed her forehead, "I just mean, I know that come Monday, you'll go to work and I'll go to work and you're going to be in Missouri and I'm going to be here and I don't want you to think that I think…"

Randy leaned in and kissed her to stop her babbling. "Is that what you're worried about?"

Sophie looked up at him, "Randy, I…"

Hunter came busting into the room, "Can we go now? I want to see Me-Maw and Papa!!"

Sophie quickly changed back into mommy mode, "Yup, let's go and let Randy get dressed."

Randy looked at Sophie, "We'll talk later. Go ahead and grab the keys off your stand and you can buckle him in."

Sophie nodded and took Hunter out. By the time Randy got there Sophie had already loaded the truck with her and Hunter's stuff. Randy had Sophie pop her trunk so he could get her tire and Sophie went and locked the door.

Then they hit the road to her mom and dad's house. On the way there it was a bit more silent than before. Hunter interjected as they were pulling into their driveway. "So Randy, are you my mom's boyfriend?"

Sophie quickly turned around "Hunter!"

Randy parked and looked at Hunter, "Well, I haven't asked her yet, but if she says yes than I will be."

Sophie looked at him, "Randy, how would that work?"

"We can work out details later, but how about yes or no?" Randy said with a smile.

"Randy, I don't think this is something we need to discuss in my parents' driveway, or in front of Hunter. There are so many details and so many things and scenarios and…" Sophie said nervously.

Randy took Sophie's hand and looked into her eyes, "Soph, I like you. I want to get to know you better. I'm not asking you to marry me, I'm asking you to be my girlfriend. We can still take things slow. And I know you don't know every waking detail about me, nor do I know them about you, but Sophie…take a chance on me. Let me prove to you that I'm worthy of being your man."

Sophie's eyes filled with tears, she knew it was risky and her head was screaming no, but her heart was saying yes. There was just something inside her telling her that she should trust him, but she was scared. She looked into his eyes, "Randy, I'm…I'm scared." She whispered.

Randy leaned over and wrapped his arms around her. "I won't hurt you, I won't lie to you, I won't cheat on you. Please Soph, take a chance on me." He knew she had been burned before, but he really liked her and he really wanted her to give him a chance. He had been down the playboy road before, but he was over that. He just needed her to give him a chance.

Sophie smiled and nodded, "Ok," She said with a sniffle, "I'll be your girlfriend."

Hunter cheered and Randy leaned over and gave Sophie a really sweet kiss. "I promise you, you won't regret this." He said quietly into her ear.

Hunter leaped out of the truck and ran into his grandparents' house. He couldn't wait to tell them what his mom got for her birthday!
