Lindsay walked around gathering her clothes with Randy watching her the whole way. "Are you just going to stand there watching me gather up my clothes or are you going to get dressed and get to practice?" She asked as she slid her shirt over her head to replace the one she'd been wearing.

"I need to get to practice." He said getting dressed too. "So, what happens now?"

"What do you mean?" She asked

"Well, we have been together twice. Should we tell John about it?" He asked. "I don't think Natalie can keep it a secret much longer. So, do we tell John?"

"Do you honestly want to tell John that we've slept together?"

"I don't really want too but Natalie's right. She can't keep it from him. He will be angry with her if he finds out she knew and didn't tell him. I don't want to hurt their relationship." He looked at her. "Maybe we should just tell him and deal with it."

"Alright. Tell him at practice."

"I will and if I don't make it back, you know why." He laughed and quickly got dressed and headed out to practice. He hoped John wouldn't be too upset. But Lindsay was an adult and she could make her decisions.

He arrived at the stadium and headed in. "You're late Orton."

"Put it on my tab." He said walking over to where John and the others were.

"She must have been good." John said to him. "Did Natalie apologize to you both?"

"She apologized to me. But I wasn't with Kelly."

John laughed and shook his head. "Will you ever find the right girl?"

"I don't know." He said looking at him. "John, I have something to tell you and I'm not sure how you will react."

"Well just tell me."

"I slept with Lindsay last night. She and I met up by chance and we ended up at my place."

John looked at him and walked away. Randy sighed. He saw John talking to the coach. The coach nodded.

"Alright. Line up for scrimmage. Orton, you and Barrett switch teams." Randy sighed and went to the team and they started practice.

Natalie sat in the restaurant waiting for Lindsay to meet her. She had texted John and told him she was having lunch with Lindsay and for him to text or call her after practice.

"Sorry I'm late." Lindsay said sitting down.

"That's okay." Natalie smiled. "I understand."

"And I want you to know, Randy's telling John so when he comes to tell at me, act like you don't know."

"Alright." Natalie replied. "So, tell me how you ended up in bed with Randy again? You couldn't have been drunk again. Well I guess you could have been. Anyway, tell me how you ended up in bed with him again."

"It just sort of happened. I was walking around trying to digest what John thinks of me and we ran into each other. He offered me food since we didn't actually eat. We went back to his house, talked about how he's dating a gold digger, how John things I'm vicious and my job. I got up to go, he kissed me, I kissed him back and it went from there."

"So you and Randy slept together twice in the last month. Is there anything there? Or is it just sex?" Natalie asked. "I mean I understand if it is. Randy's hot and sexy and I'm sure amazing in bed. But could there be more? Do you want more?"

"Like I said before I don't know."

"Well, I'm sure everything will work out." Natalie said as the waiter took their order. "So, Do you think Randy will survive telling John?"

"I hope so." She laughed.

"So, we have some wedding plans to go over." Lindsay nodded and they looked at the binder Natalie had.

"Are you going to talk to me?" Randy asked John as they were in the locker room after practice. John looked at him. "I mean I'm pretty sure you cracked my rib so you could at least talk to me about this."

"I have nothing to say to you. Ever again."

"John, come on. It wasn't like I planned for anything to happen. It just did. I don't want this to change our friendship. I didn't take advantage of her if that's what you think. It was consensual for both of us."

"Because sluts aren't enough? You've got to take advantage of vulnerable girls too right? You knew she was down about all this shit with Adam and you wormed your way into her bed."

"I didn't worm my way into her bed." Randy sighed. "It's obvious you're not going to listen to me on this. So why don't you talk to Lindsay and see what she says. You will see I didn't take advantage of her or worm my way into her bed." He finished getting dressed and headed out. He went home and poured himself a drink.

John left the arena and headed to Natalie's place. He had to talk to Lindsay about what happened. He wouldn't let anyone take advantage of her.

Natalie looked up as he walked through the door. "Hey baby."

"Where's Lindsay?"

"Hello to you too." She said to him.

"Sorry, hello." He said kissing her. "Now where's Lindsay?"

'She's in the guest room. She's picking out her outfit for work."

He walked to the door of the guest room and knocked. She answered. "Hey John."

"What happened between you and Randy?"

"He told you." She said with a sigh.

"He told me you slept together last night. How did he manage to get you into bed? Did he play on your vulnerably?"

"No. We ran into each other at the park. He asked if I was hungry. We went back to his place, ordered pizza, talked. I got up to go, hugged him. He leaned in to kiss me on the cheek, I turned my head and one thing lead to another." She looked at him. "He didn't get me into bed. I was there because I wanted to be. You have no right to be mad at anyone. I'm a big girl. I can handle myself."

"I just worry because you're my sister and I know how Randy operates. And I don't want you to get hurt."

"He was actually trying to make me feel better about everything. For one second, I didn't have to think about my divorce or how you thought I was vicious. I just felt like someone thought I was beautiful. If anything, I was using him."

John sighed. "I'm sorry I called you vicious. I didn't mean it the way it came out. I just meant that Natalie was doing to Kelly what you have always done to my dates. And I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. That wasn't my intention. Do you forgive me?"

"Of course I do. But you need to go and apologize to Randy. Knowing you the way I do, you hurt him."

John sighed and looked at her. "I know I did. I just want to protect you like you have done for me in the past. All those times you managed to run off my girlfriends. I was so angry but I realized it was the right thing. They weren't for me. They only wanted my money. And you saved me from making a mistake with them. I just want to do the same for you."

"The thing with Randy just happened. It not like we're getting married or having a baby or anything. And it won't happen again. Now go apologize for whatever you did to him." He hugged her.

"I will apologize." He said getting up. "Lindsay, I'm just looking out for you."

"I know. And I appreciate it." She said as he walked out.

He walked into the living room and saw Natalie there on the laptop. "I talked to Lindsay."

"Did you get the answers you needed?"

"I did. I just can't believe she slept with him."

"Things happen John. It's just life. And it's her life. Now go apologize to Randy and come back here and have your way with me."

"Alright." He said kissing her and heading out. He hoped Randy would accept his apology. He was just trying to protect his sister and it seemed she didn't need him too. He got into the car and drove toward Randy's house. All he could do was apology and hope Randy accepted it.
