I just realized I spelt Alanna's name wrong. Two n's, not a's. haha.
Randy was in the kitchen preparing dinner alongside Adam. Jessica was upstairs, calling her brother.
"I'm so glad to hear that everything was okay!" Jessica said, sitting on Randy's bed.
"Yeah…me too. Did you find a hotel to stay at?" Shawn asked.
Jess didn't want to lie to her brother, but how was she going to put the truth? "Oh, um, yeah, I found a place to stay." Well, that isn't a lie, but it's not exactly what Shawn asked.
"Great. Well I gotta go."
"Okay. Well say hi to everyone for me! Bye."
"Bye." They both hung up.
While Jess was on the phone with Shawn, Adam and Randy were talking downstairs.
"Randy, you got it bad." Adam said, cutting up some vegetables.
Randy nodded. "There's just something about her…."
"Yeah. She's just a sexy girlllll." Edge sang to the tune of Shawn Michael's theme song. They both laughed. "Dude, is she ever going to tell him?"
"She's on the phone with him now. Maybe today?"
They continued making dinner and finished right around the same time Jessica came down. She sat at the table next to Randy. On the other side of Randy was Alanna and Adam sat across from Randy.
"So did you tell Shawn?" Randy asked putting a spoonful of food into Alanna's mouth.
"Oh. Um, not yet. Next time I see him though." Jessica said, taking a sip.
Adam gave Randy a look. A look that said there was gonna be trouble. Randy just shook his head and they continued eating dinner. They all finished and Randy went to go put Alanna to bed. Adam and Jessica were left at the table.
"So, things going well with Orton?" Adam said, finishing his drink.
"Yeah. Things are going great." Jessica said, smiling.
"How do you think your brother will react?"
Jess paused. She had no idea. "I don't know." Randy came back downstairs.
"Me and Chris are going out to a club tonight, I'll see you guys later."
"Bye." Randy said.
It was just Randy and Jessica now. "So what now?" Jess asked.
"Well.." Randy started, "We can watch a movie, snuggle up."
Jessica nodded her head and went upstairs to the watch the movie on Randy's T.V. in his room. She quickly jumped into bed and wrapped herself in the covers. Randy pulled out The Dark Knight and got into bed with Jess. "One of my favorite movies." He said, putting his arm around Jessica.
They watched the movie and ate popcorn, but mid way through Alanna began to cry. "I'll be back." He said as he paused the movie. A few minutes later Randy still wasn't back. Jessica decided to go to her room and see what was yup. She peaked through, making the door squeak. "Come on in." Randy said with a hand gesture.
"I was just wondering if everything was alright." Jessica asked.
"Yeah, Alanna's favorite bear isn't here, it's at Sam's." Randy said, unsure of what to do.
"Why don't you drive over? I can stay and watch her." Jessica bit her lip. Was Randy really going to allow his girlfriend of one day to watch his child?
Randy thought for a second. He really liked Jessica, but he wasn't sure if this would be rushing things. He let out a sigh. "Alright. Could you read her a book?" Randy asked.
Jessica's face lid up. She was ecstatic that Randy trusted her that much. "No problem."
Randy ran out grabbing his leather jacket and drove off to Sam's house. Jessica went over to the bookshelf in Alanna's room and grabbed Good Night Moon. She sat down at the rocking chair near the crib and began to read.
"Once upon a time…."
Meanwhile, Randy reached Samantha's house and parked in the driveway. He ran up to the door and knocked. It was 10:30 P.M. so Sam should still be up. She opened the door in her tank top and pajama shorts. Her hair was all messy, but that's how Randy liked it. He smiled. "Hey Sam, Alanna's bear is here." Randy said, walking inside.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I must have forgotten." Sam said, walking up the stairs followed by Randy. "Where is she?"
"She's uh…she's at home."
"With?" Samantha was curious now.
Randy knew he couldn't like to Sam about her daughter so he just told her the truth. "My…my girlfriend, Jessica."
Samantha raised an eyebrow. "Girlfriend?"
Randy nodded. "She's Shawn's sister."
Sam grabbed Alanna's bear and handed it to Randy. "How could you just leave Alanna with her? How long have you guys been dating? Can you really trust her with your….OUR daughter?" Sam went off.
"I trust her, I've known her for a few weeks, but we just started dating yesterday. Believe me, Alanna is in sweet hands."
"Randy! A few weeks? Are you serious?" Sam was still upset.
"Hey." Randy said, putting his hands around Sam's waist. "Everything will be okay. I'm sure Jessica is doing fine."
Sam looked up at Randy's blue eyes and then looked down at his arms, which were around her. She touched the tattoo that read "Samantha" on his arm. Randy looked down as well.
Randy let go. "So uh, yeah. Thanks for the bear."
Sam smiled, she was still in love with Randy. She never wanted to get a divorce. "Alanna's birthday party is this Friday. You're still coming right?"
"Wouldn't miss it." Randy said leaving. "I'll talk to you later."
Sam nodded and waved goodbye as she shut the door.
Randy drove back thinking about the fire that was still alive between Samantha and him. He didn't know what to do. He liked Jessica, a lot, but Sam? She was another story. He quickly got home and went straight up to Alanna's room. Jessica was rocking in the chair, watching Alanna sleep. Randy smiled and placed the bear in Alanna's crib and kissed Jess.
"She fell asleep a little bit ago." Jessica said, returning to Randy's room.
Randy nodded. "I'm kinda tired, I'm gonna go to bed." He took off his shirt and pants and covered himself in blankets. Jessica seemed upset. Randy was okay before he left, she wondered what happened between him and Samantha. She changed into her pajamas and slept next to Randy.
I really liked this chapter. I hope you do too!
