A/N- Hey guys, thanks for all the reviews. Sorry this one took a little longer then the other chapters. I was stuck on where to go, and still am. I had two chapters written as this part, and couldn't decide which way to go. Let me know if it was the wrong way. Read and tell me what you think.
Somewhere between him kissing me and now, my arms found their way around his neck, and his found their way around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I have all sorts of thoughts running through my mind right now; do I want this? Do I like Jeff? What about Randy? All thoughts were wiped away when I felt his tongue seeking entrance to my mouth, which I gladly excepted. After what seemed hours but was in fact minutes, we were forced to pull away due to lack of oxygen. He rest his forehead against mine, and I open my eyes to look at him.
" That was uh, yeah" I say, not really knowing what to say.
" Yeah, I agree."
" So what does this mean"? I ask him, wondering why we are having this conversation on the steps.
" I don't really know." He tells me honestly, probably just as confused as I am.
" Is this why you broke up with Beth"? I ask him, not knowing what I want him answer to be
" No, not entirely"
" Not entirely"? I repeat.
" I like you Morgan, I've liked you for awhile, but I figured you wanted Randy, so I didn't say anything." He says, basically ignoring my question. But the bringing up of Randy's name got me thinking. Do I like Randy? He must not feel anything for me, he did have that date yesterday. I push thoughts of Randy away to focus on Jeff.
" I don't want Randy, Jeff. I don't know what I want." I tell him, which is half the truth. I'm still unclear about Randy.
" Why don't we take it slow, see where it goes" He suggests.
" Are you sure, I mean, you just broke up with Beth"?
" No, I broke up with Beth three weeks ago, she just won't leave." He says with a small smile.
" Why didn't you say anything"? I ask, taking in this new information.
" I didn't know how to tell you." He says.
" Well I think you found a pretty good way" I say, referring to the kiss moments before.
" That wasn't planned, it just sorta happened." He says, sheepishly.
" I can't complain, but Jeff, whatever happens, I don't want to ruin our friendship, because it's one of the best things in my life" I tell him, getting serious again.
" Listen Morgan, if you don't want to do this, or are having doubts, let me know and we will call it all off." He says, offering me a way out if I want it.
" I want to try this with you Jeff, I just don't want to ruin what we already have."
" Simple, we wont then."
" So what are we going to tell everyone"? I ask.
" The truth, you saw me shirtless, all hot and sweaty, and couldn't help yourself" I laugh and slap him on the arm.
" Jeff, I'm serious, what are we going to tell people"?
" It's no ones business, we don't have to tell them anything."
" Their all going to find out anyway, so might as well be the one to tell them."
" I think, we should talk to Bren first, see what he thinks." He says. I haven't even thought of Brendon, and what he is going to think.
" Jeff, he isn't going to be happy, he doesn't like me dating, that's why I didn't tell him about John."
" We'll talk to him, he will be fine."
" I hope your right."
" I am, but one more thing, if we are going to take it slow, no more encounters like that, or I don't know how slow I will go"
" Aw is Jeffy all hot and bothered"? I ask in a teasing tone.
" More then you know, now go to bed, it's late." He tells me. I haven't even realized how long I have been down here.
" One more thing" I say, and bring his lips down to mine again before he can stop me. I could get used to this. We break away after a few moments, and I look at a shocked Jeff.
" Sorry, couldn't help it. Good night Jeff." I say. I hear him mumble a good night before I head to bed.
Next Morning
" MOM! Time to get up. Randy said get up now" Bren says, jumping on the bed, shattering my ear drums.
" What time is it"? I ask, rolling over.
" Time to get up, we have places to go." I hear another voice sound from the doorway. I sit up and give Randy a death glare.
" It's Saturday, don't you have places to go to be ready for tomorrow"? I ask, he should be leaving soon to get to D.C for Cyber Sunday.
" I booked us a flight earlier for three o'clock. So get up, get dressed, get packed, and lets go. We have a stop to make first." I glance at the clock, 11:30. Damn, I usually don't sleep so late.
" Where do we have to go"? I ask, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
" To the zoo, where else" He says, like its the most natural thing in the world.
" Randy, I'm not going to the zoo, you go, I'll stay here with Jeff." I say, a smile coming to my face at the mention of Jeff. Which reminds me, I need to tell Randy and Bren.
" Sorry, Jeff already left, told me to give you this." He says, tossing me an envelope.
" Thanks."
" Yeah, so did you know he and Beth broke up, like for good"? He asks, sitting down beside me. Bren went back downstairs to watch cartoons.
" Yeah, he told me about it."
"Don't worry, it wont last long. I give them a week and they will be back together."
" What makes you say that"? I ask, keeping my insecurity to myself.
" They always do this, every time they are 'done' with each other, they are all lovey dovey the next week. They get sick of each other, then miss the other one like crazy" He says.
" Oh" Was all I said. I can't really be disappointed, I don't even know what I feel for Jeff, this all just happened last night, and I never really thought about him like that before.
" I don't know what he sees in her though, she is a bitch. No one likes her, not even Matt or Gil, his father."
" So then why does he always go back to her"? I ask him.
"I don't know, but he could do so much better, like our friend Candice."
" Candice?, what does she have to do with anything"? I ask, confused.
" Candice has had a thing for Jeff since I have known her, she is totally in love with him. She's one of your best friends, I cant believe you didn't know" He says, looking at me.
" I had no idea" I feel guilty now. I knew all this was a bad idea. Jeff is going to go back to Beth, Candice likes Jeff, and there I am kissing him. What a great friend I am.
" He will realize one day, those two are perfect for each other, don't you think"? He asks.
" I don't know maybe" I say. I cant tell him about me and Jeff right now, I don't know how he will react. But I should tell him. I break out of my thoughts when Randy's cell phone rings. I watch him look at it then hit the disconnect button.
" John" was all he said looking at me.
"Randy, you need to talk to him. He apologized to me, and I forgave him, you should to."
" No, what he said was wrong, no excuse."
" Just talk to him, your so stubborn sometimes"
" You love me anyway" He says, pulling me backwards on the bed with him, my head laying on his chest.
" Yeah, for some unknown reason I do."
" It could be my charm, or my wit, or maybe my awesome physique,but I would put money on my looks." He says, jokingly, while running his fingers through my hair, gently massaging my head.
" Or it could be that your one of the nicest guys I know, who treats my son better then his own father, or maybe because you are the most generous person I know who also happens to have an ego the size of Texas." I say.
" I thought you said the kid never saw his father"? He says, looking down at me.
" Bren met him a few times, a couple years ago. He doesn't even remember it. He left and never came back, just like when I got pregnant. Apparently we weren't worth the time for him." I say, sadly.
" The guys dumb then, leaving you two, he must be nuts"
" I cant blame him, what guy wants to become a father at sixteen"?
" No one, but you didn't get yourself pregnant."
" I know, I'd just rather not talk about him." I say, wiping a single tear that formed in my eye.
" Good, because you have to get ready for the zoo, so lets go" He says, pulling me up. What is it with wrestlers and the zoo? I heard Hunter and Shawn talking about going to one last week. Must be a wrestling thing.
" Okay okay, I'm going." I say, heading to the shower.
" Oh and, we need to stop and say bye to my parents before we go" He says, and rushes out of the room before I can reply. Great, another run-in with the Ortons.
Randy's parent's house, 1 hour later
I step out of the car and am immediately greeted by Mrs. Orton in a tight hug. She lets go of me, and moves onto Brendon, forgetting her own son is standing right there. I glance at Randy, and he seems amused.
" Alright Lil, let them breath" Says an older voice, belonging to Mr. Orton, or probably better known as Cowboy Bob.
" I'm going to miss you all so much when you leave, your going to have to stop by more often." Lillian says, wrapping me in another hug, pulling Randy in as well.
" Mom, your killing us." Randy says, laughing. Mrs. Orton ignores him and pulls me and Bren in the house, all the while telling me how I'm to thin, and need to put weight on, and how it would be more healty for the baby.
" What baby"? I ask, stopping her there.
"Aren't you and Randy going to settle down and give me a grandchild"? She asks, as we sit down on the coach. Bren makes his way upstairs to find Randy's younger brother, Nick, who is only fourteen.
" Oh, uh no. Randy and I aren't together" I tell her, almost the exact conversation I had with her the last time I was here, two days ago.
" Well you will be, Randy has never been happier, and the lat girl he brought home was Sam, so he likes you."
" Who's Sam"? I ask, ignoring her other statements.
" She was Randy's fiancé, poor boy caught her cheating on him about a year ago, and called everything off." She says. Randy never told me about beig engaged, or anything at all about Sam.
" Randy never mentioned her to me before"
" He doesn't talk about her anymore. We thought she broke him for the longest time, then you came along with that boy of yours, and he got better." I came about seven months after this happened, she must have really hurt him.
" I had no idea he went through that."
" It was tough, I knew she was trouble when I first met her though, I never liked her. But you, I like you, I think your it for Randy" She says. I laugh quietly ot myself. This woman is anything but subtle. We chat for a little while longer, before Randy comes in, with his dad.
" Hey, we have to get going if we are hitting the zoo before the airport." Randy says, taking my hand. I glance at Lillian and see the smile on her face while looking at us. I quickly drop his hand.
" Sure, just let me get Bren" I say, and go to retreat Brendon. After, we all head outside, being bombarded with hugs again. For the first time, Mr. Orton hugged me.
" You did him good, for that I thank you" He whispers in my ear, giving me a tight hug. It didn't take long after we left, for Bren to fall asleep in the backseat.
" We can go to the zoo next time we are off" Randy says, looking at the sleeping child through the rear view mirror.
" Yeah, he is tired and we don't have a lot of time anyway. Your mom wouldn't let us go." I say laughing.
" Sorry about that, but I think you have been officially adopted in. I think mom likes you more then she likes me." He says.
" Never, all she did was praise her little boy" I say, in a baby voice.
" Shut up. Seriously, I know how she can be, and I thank you for putting up with it."
" No problem, she kind of grew on me."
" I was surprised, you got a hug from my dad. He doesn't hug to many people."
" Well what can I say, I'm just that likeable."
" That you are my girl."
" Are you aware that your mom thinks I'm going to give her a grandchild, created by you"? I ask, watching his face.
" I told her we weren't together, she doesn't listen. Sorry about that."
" It okay, at least we wont be surprised when we have a kid together." I say laughing.
" We can call it Randy jr, fourth generation superstar."
" How about no. Our kid wont be a wrestler, I would forbid it."
" It's in his blood, of course he would be a wrestler, a damn good one at that." He says proudly.
" Randy, our kid would not be a wrestler, I see the pain you guys go through, SHE would be a lawyer."
" No, HE would be a wrestler, no other option."
" I wouldn't allow HER to be a wrestler."
"We'll have to wait and see" He says, He looks at me oddly when I burst out laughing.
" What"? He asks clueless.
" We are arguing over what our kid would be, and I'm not even pregnant, and we're not even together" I say, still laughing. He joins in.
" HE would still be a wrestler" He says, after the laughter died down. I just smack his arm and ignore him. We drive to the airport in silence for a few minutes, before I ask him something.
" How comes you never told me about Sam"? I ask him. I can see I caught him off guard.
" How do you know about Sam"? He asks, glancing at me.
" Your mom told me"
" She was and old girlfriend" He says, offering me nothing else.
" And that's it"? I ask, knowing there was a lot more. He looks at me, and knows I know more too.
" We were engaged, I caught he cheating on me, we broke up, end of story."
" And that's it, you just moved on, and didn't look back"?
" Honestly? No, she hurt me, more then I ever thought possible. I did some crazy stupid ass things afterwards, experimented with drugs, lost my drive for wrestling, she took a lot away from me." He says, not looking at me.
" Like you told me earlier Randy, she must be nuts to leave you" I say, trying to comfort him, but not knowing if he needs it.
" All is good. I swore away all woman, well, more like relationships." He says, again, something else I didn't know.
" So you wont have a relationship with anyone else, all because of one girl"?
" I don't want to go through what I did before if it didn't work out, I was barely strong enough the first time." He says, keeping his voice in check.
" No all woman are cheaters Randy. I'm not. You shouldn't give up, go after what you want." I tell him. I look up as we pull into the parking lot of the airport. We have an hour to go before our flight, so we sit there a few minutes.
" Maybe what I want, doesn't want me back." He says.
" You wont know until you try."
" No trust me, she doesn't."
" Your great Randy, who wouldn't want you. Take my advice and do something, not all woman are bad" I tell him, opening up my door and getting out, making my way to the back to wake Bren up. Randy soon follows and grabs our bags and we make our way inside. We do the usual things before being called to bored our flight to D.C, for the annual Cyber Series. I glance at Randy, and notice how quiet he is, I'm going to have to ask him about on the plane.
A/N- I hoped you liked it, I'm not even sure if i do though. The other way i was going to go was have Morgan reject Jeff, but I feel some drama is needed in this story. Tell me what you think.
