Career Choices…With Dad
Chapter 12
"Lily, you can't ignore him forever," Kayla whined as the two made their way through the airport two days later.
The two were on their way to Lily's photo shoot for WWE magazine. Lily had been purposefully ignoring Randy for the most part of those two days and Kayla was getting fed up with mediating both parties.
"Yes, I can, and I will," she said shortly, glancing at her watch and picking up the pace.
Kayla sighed and chased after her friend, not wanting to get lost in the masses of the fast moving crowds. She followed Lily to their terminal and sat down next to her to wait for the boarding call.
"You want something to eat? I'm hungry," Lily muttered, not looking at Kayla.
"Sure, get me some Cinnabon or something," she shrugged moodily.
Lily hopped to her feet and wandered off toward the smell of cinnamon. Kayla shook her head and flipped open her cell phone, glaring at the screen as she waited for a phone call from either Jeff or Randy. When it didn't ring as she stared at it she closed it angrily and stared out the window.
"I got you a cinnamon bun and some coffee, if that's okay," Lily returned a few minutes later.
"Yeah, thanks," Kayla muttered, taking the offered food.
Lily narrowed her eyes at her friend and sat down, "What's wrong with you?"
"Lily, I can't deal with you and randy constantly fighting. I mean, I understand you hate clowns, but he was just trying to tell you that he can still be the old Randy. He was trying to prove to you that he still has the sense of humor you used to gush about in college. He really misses you, Lil," Kayla explained, not able to hold is back anymore.
Lily looked down at her hands, her eyes glistening with unwanted tears. She sniffed and looked up at her friend, "Kay, I'm sorry you feel you have to go between us, but you really don't. I mean, I can't just let that go. He brought back childhood fears that I haven't even thought of in yeas. He embarrassed me in front of Jeff and John and I can't forgive him for that. I'm sorry."
Kayla nodded, letting all that Lily said sink in. The two remained silent for the rest of the time, boarding the plain quietly and taking their seats. Lily pulled out her iPod and blasted her music, forcing Kayla to find something to do by herself.

"Lily, we're here," Kayla pulled her headphones out two hours later.
Lily jumped to her feet and grabbed her carry on. She pulled down Kayla's quickly and the two rushed off the plane to their waiting limo. Unlike Kayla, Lily was nervous out of he mind for this photo shoot. It was her first one in years and she was unsure of what to expect. All she knew was that she was the guest question answerer with Ashley, Melina and Maria and they had to shoot a couple spots for the magazine.
"Just take a deep breath, Lil , it's going to be fun. Especially with Ashley, she's hilarious," Kayla assured her.
"It better be fun, I'm not a huge fan of these things," Lily sighed.
Just then the window separating the driver from the passengers slid open and the driver turned around to speak to them.
"Ladies are we checking in at the hotel first or heading straight to the shoot?"
"Let's check in at the hotel, I need to drop my stuff off," Lily said, indicating her suitcases and carryon.
"You got it," he smiled and slid the window shut again.

An hour later Lily was sitting in makeup for the photo shoot. Melina, Maria and Ashley were picking out outfits beside her, each one arguing over what looked better on each.
"No, I think you should wear that bottom and I'll wear this," Melina handed Ashley a black pair of panties with a white skull on them.
"But I like those too," Maria pouted.
"Well we still have Lily too, you guys, and she would look bangin' in this," Ashley held up a lingerie set of black and purple lace.
"I like that, yeah, I'll wear it," Lily nodded, shying away from the makeup artist's hand to look at the set.
"Ooh, that's cute," Kayla gushed running her hand over the fabric of the bodice.
"You're lucky we they have you're size, Lil. You're tiny," Ashley handed Lily the set and returned to looking for something to wear for her.
Lily rolled her eyes and waited for her make up to be finished so she could change. Kayla helped her figure out how to put it on the right way and fixed her hair when she was finished. Ashley whistled when Lily stepped out of the changing room and Melina laughed.
"You look hot," Maria giggled, "John would love to see that."
"Stop it, guys, this is embarrassing enough," Lily blushed.
"Alright ladies, let's get this show on the road," the photographer called, indicating for them to make their way to the set.
"Wish me luck," Lily waved to Kayla as she walked onto the stage, the bright lights blinding her.
"Break a leg!" Kayla laughed as they first test pictures were taken.
Lily posed numerous times in different positions, spots and looks. By the time they had taken enough pictures she could no longer feel her cheeks. Ashley kept cracking jokes every time Lily went to pose seriously so by the end of the shoot just about every picture was her laughing.
"Come take a look, they automatically download to the computer," Kayla called, taking a seat in front of the photographer's laptop.
"I like this one," Maria pointed to one of them having an enormous pillow fight, Ashley was hitting Lily in the head while Maria hid behind the blanket.
"I like that one too," Lily nodded. "It's so funny looking, the fans will love it."
"Well, you four aren't the ones who picks," Kayla pointed out as the photographer made his way over to the group.
"We know," the four chorused and moved back into the dressing room to get changed.
Lily instantly changed back into her sweatpants and t-shirt, pulling her newly curled hair into a ponytail. She swept the short hair framing her face out of her eyes and pulled on her UGG boots.
"I am not doing that again," she sighed as she grabbed her duffle and made he way to the door.
"Lily wait!" Ashley called after her.
"Yo," she turned at the calling of her name.
"We want you to keep what you wore. We all think John would love a preview before the mag hits stores," she grinned, seeing the color rise in Lily's cheeks.
"Very funny Ash, really," she took the box the lingerie was in.
"Oh, and we're meeting up around eight tonight at the hotel bar, we want to look over the questions so we can pick the ones we answer tomorrow.
Lily nodded, brushing her hair from her face again, "That sounds great, I'll see you then. I'll make sure Kayla comes along too, she loves you guys."
"Great! See you then!" Ashley waved as Lily left the room, Kayla was already waiting outside in the limo.
Lily made her way down the hall toward the parking lot, a wide smile on her face.
"That really wasn't that bad, they're cool. But now I have to deal with Mr. Orton," she sighed, seeing a dozen missed calls on he cell. "And that, that's not cool."
