Hey there party people~~~~
Here be another update~

It's a bit short, but it's because it's very simple...so it's short, sweet, and to the point...the next will definitely be longer. I promise~

After that incredibly stressful time at work, Barbie was so looking forward to Randy coming back. She wasn't sure she was ready to tell him what happened, but he was smart enough to figure out something happened so it'd be better if she said something rather than him making an unpleasant discovery.

It was the day Randy was supposed to return and Barbie was getting herself and Jake ready to go surprise him by picking him up at the airport. As she was getting her stuff, she heard her phone go off and she went to go get it. She smiled, seeing the caller ID was Randy. She smiled more as she answered the phone.

"Hello there." she answered brightly.

"Hey you…hey…can you do me a favor?" he asked.

"Sure…what is it?"

"I sent you something…it should be at your apartment by now…think you can check the door to see if you got my little present?" he asked, making her a little confused.

"Um…sure…" she said confused as she went to the door.

When she opened the door, there wasn't a package there, but the real thing. Randy was standing at her door with his suitcase in one hand and his phone in the other. He couldn't help but smirk at her expression before dropping his suitcase and picking her up and kissing her deeply and passionately. If anyone were to see them, it would seem like he'd been gone for months rather than just three days. She pulled away in a slight daze as she let him in and shut her phone.

"I was gonna surprise you…" she said pouting once she realized what really happened.

"What do you mean?" he asked as he sat on the couch.

"Jake and I were just about to go to the airport and surprise you and come get you…I wasn't expecting you to come home early." she said still pouting, which he found adorable.

"Well that's funny…I guess great minds think alike because that was my idea…except I beat you to it." he said winking as he got up again and wrapped his arms around her. She couldn't resist those beautiful green eyes or those strong arms around her so she couldn't keep that pout going for long. She wrapped her arms around his neck smiling up at him.

"I guess you did…but I'm not complaining." she said as they kissed again, only to be interrupted.

"Ewwwww!!!!" Jake squealed, covering his eyes, making both of them laugh.

"Oh come on Jake…you know I can't help myself. Your mom is just too pretty." Randy said, amused.

"But…cooties! Ew!" he said squirming uncomfortably. Barbie and Randy couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Alright, alright…hey Jake…I got you something while I was in St. Louis." he said smiling as he grabbed his suitcase.

"A present?!" Jake asked excitedly.

"You didn't have to do that." she told him.

"I know but I wanted to." he said winking at her as he pulled out a wrapped box and handed it to Jake.

"I didn't know you could wrap boxes."

"I…can't. The lady at the store did it for me." he said chuckling sheepishly, making her laugh.

Jake didn't waste any time and he tore off the paper and tossed it to the floor. Barbie picked it up and bunched it up to throw it away after she saw his gift. He opened it and there were two shirts in the box. Jake looked confused. Randy got the shirts out and laid them out for him. Jake couldn't quite read well yet so he had a hard time with one of the shirts.

"What's it say?" he asked Randy.

"This t-shirt says: Someone who really loves me went all the way to St. Louis to get me this t-shirt." he said grinning. Jake loved it. He looked at the other shirt. It was a mini St. Louis Cardinals baseball jersey and on the back it had his name on it.

"Wow! A Jersey!" he said excitedly before hugging Randy. Jake usually didn't display this type of affection to Randy so he was caught off guard but he did hug him back.

"You like it? I didn't know if they were your favorite team, but I wanted to get you something authentic."

"What's auth…authentic?" he asked slowly.

"That means something that's only from there." Barbie explained, figuring that was the best way to explain it.

"Oh…well I love the shirts." he said brightly.

"What do you say?" she reminded.

"Thank you Randy!" he said brightly.

"Anytime buddy." he said smiling as Jake went to his room to find a special place for his new shirts.

"You didn't have to do that." she said again as he grinned and pulled her on the couch so she was on his lap.

"And I told you…I wanted to." he said kissing her. As he pulled away, he saw some new marks on her neck. She saw the look on his face and got a little worried.

"So…you okay with pizza for dinner?" she asked, starting to get up. He held her hips, keeping her still.

"What happened?" he asked seriously. She sighed.

"Mike…found his way to the club while you were gone…and I didn't recognize him at first and then he called me in for a private dance…and while I was in there, I found out it was him and he tried to resume what happened last time." she explained.

"I'm gonna kill that bastard." he said, his fists clenching.

"Randy…I'm okay…Kane saved me and taught a pretty good lesson from what I heard." she said chuckling.

"I don't care…if I ever see him again, I'm going to kill him." he said seriously.

"Randy…please…let's not get into this right now. I'm just glad you're back and I'm in your arms again." she said smiling, resting her head in the crook of his neck.

"Well that makes two of us. Oh, and I don't have anymore trips for quite a while…" he said smirking as he kissed her again passionately, a kiss she gladly returned.
