Jon left the gym with Colby and Joe. On their way back to the hotel, the trio's casual conversation shifted towards a topic regarding Randi. They haven't talked about such topic for quite a while now. The last time that they were all together and talked about it was back when the challenge was made and a lot of things has happened since then.
"As I said before, brother, I think she's the one for you," it was Joe's only comment regarding the topic. Not only was Joe a quiet man but when he says something, he often mean it and so, his words were very truthful and powerful.
"I'm just glad that you two made up," came Colby's voice, "so how was she? What's she like now after you two reconciled?"
Jon smiled, almost goofily, like a man very much in love. "She's perfect," absent-mindedly, he replied, unintentionally speaking his mind out. "I mean, she's great," quickly, Jon regained his composure, "she's really trying hard to change, to change everyone's impression of her, you know. She's a sweet little lady, it just takes time to get to know her like I have but when you do, boy, she's one of a kind," Jon told his friends. Colby and Joe exchanged looks. It was official, they have never seen Jon so lovestruck before and they both have known Jon for quite a long time now. He was never like this when it came to the other bunch of women he had been involved with in the past, not the ring rats, not the strip bar whores and not even his occasional friends with benefits, Renee had captivated him as much as Randi has.
When Jon arrived back to the hotel, he parted with his friends and made his way to one particular room. He walked past his hotel room and went further into the hallway of the fourth floor, stopping in front of a particular room. He guessed Randi would be finished with her lunch with Renee by now and he hoped she's inside and not doing some errands for Stephanie who should be occupied with her kids right now. As Jon picked the lock of her hotel room, he couldn't help but feel quite satisfied with the fact that Colby and Joe both approve Randi. After all, no one in the company's main roster knew him better than Colby and Joe and so, he trust them enough to know what would be best for him.
After successfully picking Randi's hotel room's lock, Jon sneaked his way inside. He was caught off guard when he saw Randi, lying down in the middle of the bed, staring at the ceiling absent-mindedly. She didn't even turn to look at him as he shut the door behind him, as if she didn't care that she has company. Noisily, Jon approached her, trying to gain her attention but no response from her came.
"Hey girly," he greeted as he kicked out of his shoes and jumped into bed next to her. She mumbled some unclear words as she rolled over, her back suddenly facing him. Jon knew instantly that something was troubling her and he cursed her stubbornness for meeting up with Renee. "What happened during lunch?" he asked her, poking her shoulder repeatedly to gain her attention but instead, he was annoying her more and more.
Randi didn't reply, to Jon's irritation and instead, she buried her face in the pillow, hiding her tear filled eyes. He only found out that she was crying when her body began to shake. Jon had always hated seeing Randi in tears and so, without caring whether it would piss her off, he tore her off the bed and relocated her in his arms for comfort. He was frustrated because he doesn't know what happened during lunch between Randi and Renee. He tried to tell her all throughout this morning that it was a bad idea to meet up with Renee for lunch but Randi was stubborn, now she was facing the consequences of her stubbornness.
"Spunky, stop being a cry baby," he whispered in her ear, trying to get a reaction from her by teasing her but she didn't budge. Instead, Randi buried her face against his clothed chest, wetting the fabric of his shirt as she continued to cry her heart out, her loud sobs were only muffled by his chest. "What did she do to you, Spunky? Tell me," Jon asked her but she shook her head and continued to cry.
It had probably been an hour, or perhaps more when Randi pulled herself away from Jon's tight embrace. Quietly, he wiped her tear stained face anxiously at the same time Randi absent-mindedly caressed his cheeks. She felt like her world had been destroyed and she was hurting really badly but the fact that Jon was with her made her feel a little better, despite the fact that he was one of the roots of her stress right now.
"You can be really stupid sometimes, Jonathan," she began as she poked his left cheek, normally, a dimple would pop out when he smiles but he wasn't smiling. He looked troubled and worried and a little afraid. "But funnily, I still love you even with that flaw of yours," she continued, this time, her words made him smile, the dimples on his cheeks appearing instantly. She was momentarily mesmerised with the smiling face that looked back at her, if it was possible, his smile would be enough to brighten up everything that surrounded him. It was a one in a million smile.
"I love your crazy ass too, Miranda," came Jon's response as he pressed a quick kiss on her forehead. "Now, tell me what happened back there? Did she bullied you again and called your cheeks fat?" Jon asked her and despite the fact that she was hurting, Randi couldn't help but smile. The fact that he cared so much for her and the way he was insisting to know why she was in tears touched her in so many levels.
"Jonathan," gently, she spoke his name as she looked at his baby blue eyes, if it was possible, she has lost herself staring into those eyes. "S-She told me that she's p-pre-pregnant, and it's y-yours."
Jon's blue eyes momentarily widened before he cocked one eyebrow in utter intrigue. Then, he did the unthinkable and began to laugh. Somehow, Randi wondered what was funny about the situation. "That's fucking bullshit!" he exclaimed moments later when his laughter died down. Randi wished it was but a part of had been influenced by Renee's news so much that she don't know whether to still believe Jon. "Miranda, did you hear me?" Jon gave her a gentle shake, "she's lying. Whatever she's claiming is bullshit. I didn't get her pregnant. What the fuck."
Randi weakly hugged him and tried to seek comfort in his arms once more. She didn't believe him, not entirely. She feared to believe him too, just in case it would bring some false hope. "She showed me the pregnancy test, Jonathan, she wasn't lying, I don't think so," Randi told him silently.
"You thought fucking wrong," snapped Jon irritably. "Look Miranda, think about this. Renee is on the pill and I wear a condom whether I'm too drunk or not. What are the fucking chances of a fucking sperm getting through all that barriers?" he told her angrily, he wanted to get his point sent across. He doesn't believe whatever bullshit Renee had fed Randi, he was confident that what she fed Randi were lies.
"I don't know…" Randi began but he cut her short, Jon wanted her to believe him and not the woman who wanted nothing but ruin their relationship.
"Miranda, baby, if this makes you feel a little better, I'll tell you something about the way I handle business in bed," he began, he was trying to lighten up the mood by using such colloquial terms yet she remained looking serious and very much hurt. Jon sighed to himself and continued, "first off, I always wear a condom. That is Jonathan fucking Good's number one rule, mainly because I'm too fucking paranoid to get infected," he informed her, "I assure you Miranda, the only time I won't wear one is when I'm not fucking...but when I make love to the woman who will be the mother of my child," he assured her. "And most importantly, if knowing this will make you feel better, I pull out before I come. Once again, because I'm paranoid to get the woman I'm fucking pregnant. The only time I will come inside a woman is if it's the woman who will be the mother of my child," he told her.
Randi looked at him and simply nodded her head. Jon and her relationship has never reached its intimate peak yet, meaning they haven't had sex yet and so, she doesn't know exactly what his nature was in bed. Their relationship didn't seem to need sex to make things between them feel real and natural and in love so they have never really done it nor had the time to in their busy schedules.
"Believe me Miranda. She's lying. I didn't knocked her up. Trust me on this one," Jon told her, his baby blue eyes gazing down at her, awaiting eagerly for her response. He was desperate for her to believe him because they're relationship depended on this and their trust for one another.
Randi gave his cheek a loving kiss before she embraced him tightly. "I trust you, Jonathan," she told him but an inkling at the back of her mind remained there.
