Wednesday
After a four hour flight and about an hour worth of driving, I finally made it home to my apartment I share with Cody. I unlocked the door and walked inside. As I'm turn the corner to head to my room, I see there are boxes scattered in the living room. I drop my stuff off in my room and search the place for my roommate.
"Cody?" I called.
I walked into her room and sure enough there she was on the floor putting stuff in boxes and taping them up.
"Cody?"
She turned around. Seeing me she stood up and walked over to me.
"Hey Randy. I didn't expect you back so early."
Glanced around the room and back at her.
"What's going on?"
She sighed and led me out to the living room and sat saw before motioning to the seat next to her. I sat down and looked at her expectantly.
"Randy, there's something I need to tell you…"
"What?"
She looked at me and frowned.
"I'm leaving." She replied.
"Leaving? Leaving where? Where are you going?"
"Back to Wisconsin. I'm going to move back in with my parents. I'm going to back to college."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"What about wrestling? What about FCW? What about making it into the WWE?"
I felt like the room was spinning. First everything with Randy, now this!
"Randy….that's your dream. Not mine. I want to go to college and get a normal job and have a normal life. I don't want to have to wake up every morning and workout. I don't want to be in a new city every night and stay in hotels and motels all the time! I'm tired of wrestling. I never really wanted to be a wrestler. I just went along with it because I wanted to fit in with you."
I stared at her in disbelief.
"What about FCW?"
"After I got eliminated from NXT, I wasn't as angry or sad as I let on. I was really happy. I came back here and for the next couple weeks just thought about everything. I missed a lot of shows and I realized this isn't worth it."
"What about tomorrow?" I asked. "We have a show tomorrow! What will Steve say?"
"Don't worry. I called and talk to Steve today and told him I quit."
I put my face in my hands and closed my eyes. This was too much.
"What about Zayne?"
"I called him up this morning and broke up with him." She replied softly. "I want to get away from everything wrestling while I can."
I started chuckling and Cody gave me a confused look.
"Randy, what's so funny?"
"Everything!" I exclaimed. "First Randy, now you! Life just loves me, doesn't it!"
I looked at her.
"Now with you leaving, I have nobody to talk to about what's going on! Nobody!"
She was silent for a moment.
"You've got Randy." She replied after a while.
"Not really!"
"Why not?"
"Maybe because it involves him!"
"What do you mean?"
I sighed and her eyes widened.
"Did you sleep with him?"
I gave her the 'Really?' look.
"No. Of Course not!"
She nodded and then broke into a huge grin.
"Have you ever thought about it?"
"What? No!"
"You're telling me you've never fantasized about Randy? Randy…shirtless….wearing barely anything…..his amazing abs all oiled up…"
As she droned on, I actually found myself mentally picturing everything she was saying!
I jumped as my phone rang, springing me out of my thoughts.
"Wow, I am gonna laugh if that's Randy." She chuckled.
I glared at her as I stood up.
"You're sooooo not helping right now."
She giggled and I looked at my phone. Sighing I opened it.
"Hey….Right now isn't the best time to talk…."
"Oh….Is everything okay?"
"Is that Randy?" Cody giggled as she got up and stood next to me.
"Yes." I answered before turning my attention to Randy. "Yeah. Everything is fi—"
"Hey Randy! Charity wants to see you naked!" Cody yelled, laughing.
"WHAT? I didn't say that!"
"Who was that?" Randy chuckled.
"It's Cody. She's just being weird." I replied, giving myself a face palm.
"She was fantasizing about you Randy! Just before you called!" She yelled again.
"Shut up!" I hissed.
Randy started laughing on the phone and I could feel myself blush.
"I have no idea what she's talking about." I laughed nervously. "She's crazy."
"Um…yeah." He chuckled. "Well since you're busy fantasizing about me, I'll talk to you later."
"I wasn't! She's making up stuff! I woul—"
"Calm down. I was just kidding." He reassured me.
I let out a frustrated sigh.
"But it seems you have a lot going on right now so I'll let you go. I'll talk to you later, okay?"
"Alright. Talk to you later."
"Well that was fun." Cody laughed.
I shot her a death glare and her smile stayed intact.
"What? It's not my fault you started fantasizing about him." She smirked.
"Shut up." I mumbled before flopping down on the couch.
At that moment we heard a knock on the door.
"God, I hope that's Randy." She laughed.
"Just get the fucking door." I mumbled into the cushion. I heard the door open and her talking for a couple minutes then the door shut.
"Oh Randy!" She said in a sing song voice.
"What?"
"You have a present?"
"Is it –"
"No it's not an oiled up Randy." She laughed.
"Shut up!" I groaned. "What is it?"
"Come over here and see."
Rolling my eyes, I got up and saw a beautiful vase of roses. My jaw dropped as I looked at the roses. They were yellow with red tips. I smiled and grabbed the little card and opened it. It read:
They told me I could do anything if I put my mind into it. Yet no matter how hard I try in all that I do, I just can't take my mind off you…
Aww! Mike is so sweet! Then I bit my lip as I saw who they were from.
Forever Yours,
Randy
"Randy?" Cody asked, waving a hand in front of my face. "Randy? Are you okay? What does it say?"
I handed her the card and she smiled.
"Aww! That's so sweet!" She exclaimed.
She nudged me and grinned.
"I think he likes you."
I rolled my eyes.
"You think?" I asked sarcastically
I shook my head and headed back to my room.
Thursday- FCW House Show
After I had my match, I shower and changed then hung around backstage with Nia backstage. As soon as the show ended, we stayed back to meet some fans and sign some autographs. A few people came up and told me how they really wanted me to win NXT.
After the signing, Nia left for a date so I was left by myself. I was about to leave when Mc-Creeper showed up.
"Do you wanna see why my nickname is 'tri-pod'?" He smirked as he fell in step with me.
"No. But if you don't leave me alone, I will kick you so hard, you'll shit you pants." I replied angrily.
He grabbed my arm and pinned me against the wall.
"You know, I have this magic watch that can actually talk to me. Seriously, it's saying something right now. It says that you're not wearing any underwear, is that true?"
"No. Now drop dead."
"Oh wait," he smirked. "My watch is an hour fast!"
"You wish!" I hissed.
He grinned and leaned in to me.
"Hey baby, I think you just made my two by four into a four by eight."
"Really? Is this in centimeters?"
"That's really cute." He whispered. "You know, you seem like the type of woman I think I could fall madly in bed with."
"I don't think sex would be too fun with your head and balls hurting so much."
He gave me a confused look.
"My balls and head don't hurt…"
"They will now!"
I rammed my knee into his groin. He let me go and doubled over. As he bent over, I punched him in the face. He fell down, wincing in pain. I was so pissed off that kneeled down and just started wailing on him. His face was bloody when I felt somebody pick me off of him.
"Let me go!" I growled and I pushed away. They instantly let me go and I started raining blows on him again. This time I was lifted completely off my feet and carried away. McGillicutty was still on the ground when I was being carried away.
"That's right, you loser!" I yelled as he stumbled to his feet and walked away. "Walk away before I kick your ass again!"
We finally stopped and I was put down. I gasped as I turned to face Randy, who was holding his nose. He already had blood on the front of his shirt, all over his hands and his face.
"Oh my god…..Did I do that?" I asked, motioning to his nose.
He nodded.
"You're elbow hit me square in the nose."
I put my hand over my mouth.
"I am so sorry! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. My nose just won't stop bleeding." He chuckled.
I bit my lip.
"I'm sorry Randy. I didn't know that was you. Come on."
He gave me a questioning look but followed.
"Get in." I said as we walked out to my car.
He got in and I closed the door for him before walking over to my side and getting it.
"Where are we going?" He asked as I started it up.
"My place. We need to get you cleaned up and wash that shirt. If that blood sits on there too long, it'll stain."
He nodded and I headed to the apartment.
I unlocked the apartment and ushered Randy inside and quickly closed the door.
"Randy? Is that you?" Cody called from somewhere inside the apartment
"Yeah, Codez! It's me."
"Good! Stay there."
Randy looks at me and shrugs.
After a couple of moments, Old Time Rock N' Roll by Bob Seger started playing.
"Oh god." I chuckled. "I have a bad feeling about this."
Sure enough, Cody slides across the wood floor with her back towards us. What made it even funnier was all she had on was short shorts, bra, and socks. She started dancing around singing the lyrics. I had to keep myself from laughing. Randy was also trying not to laugh as he held his nose.
When she turned around and saw Randy and I, her reaction was priceless. She had black sunglasses, but her jaw dropped.
"Um…Hi Randy…." She said.
I coughed tried to signal what she was wearing.
"Gah!" She exclaimed as she dove into her room.
Randy and I burst out laughing.
"Why didn't you warn me you were bringing company?" She yelled.
"It wasn't planned." I laughed as I led Randy into the bathroom. As we walked inside, I shut the door behind us.
"Alright, now is your nose still bleeding?" I asked as he sat on the lid of the toilet.
He let go and the blood continued to trickle out.
"Nope."
He went to lean back, but I stopped him.
"No, lean forward. If you lean back the blood get in the windpipe causing a blocked airway, or go into the stomach. Blood may irritate the stomach lining and cause you to puke."
"Well we wouldn't want that." He chuckled.
"No. Now move your hand."
He moved his hand and the blood continued to come out. I gently tipped his head back.
"Well your nose isn't broken." I said. "So let's try this…"
I gently pinched on the just below the bony bridge of his nose.
"I really am sorry, Randy." I said as held his nose.
"It's okay." He smiled. "It was an accident."
After five minutes, I let go.
"Still bleeding?"
He shook his head.
"Nope. I'm all good now. Thank you."
I moved aside so that he could wash his hands and face. After wards I handed him a towel.
"Alright. Whenever you're ready, just give me your shirt so I can wash it." I said as I moved toward the door.
I froze when he stripped off his shirt right then and there.
"Here you go." He smiled as he handed me his shirt.
Thoughts of what Cody had said yesterday started to creep in my mind. I shook my head to clear them away.
"Thanks…."
I quickly opened the door and we both walked out to a now fully clothed Cody.
"Whoa! What did you two do in there?" Cody smirked as I walked out with a shirtless Randy in tow.
I ignored her and headed to the little laundry room and put his shirt inside. After that started, I walked into the kitchen. I looked in the cupboards for what to make for dinner when I turned and almost bumped into Randy.
"Hey. I'm sorry if me taking my shirt off right in front of you was awkward." He apologized.
"No, it's fine." I smiled. "I just didn't expect it. That's all."
"Okay." He nodded. "Do you need help with anything?"
I looked at him and smiled.
"That's okay, Randy. You're our guest. You can keep Cody company." I laughed, motioning to the living room.
"Are you sure?"
I nodded and he joined Cody in the living room.
After we had all finished eating, we sat on couch talking until Cody suggested we play a game.
"What game?"
She grinned mischievously.
"How about spin the bottle."
I gave her the 'really' look.
"No."
"Seven minutes in heaven! You two go first!" She giggled.
Randy blushed slightly.
"Cody, what are we, in middle school? No."
"Fine." She sighed. "How about Monopoly?"
"Sure."
I knew Cody was just starting with her little comments. I inwardly groaned because I knew how her perverted mind worked. Sadly, she would make very suggestive comments embarrassing both me and Randy. I glanced at the kitchen and remembered the bottle of Tabasco Sauce.
"Why don't I get us some drinks?" I said as stood up, "You guys set up the board, and I'll be right back."
I quickly walked into the kitchen. I poured Cody her some Coke and secretly put several squirts of the hot sauce into it. It was hot enough to make her not talk. I got Randy and myself some water and carried the drinks back.
"Drink up." I smiled and used all my will power to keep from laughing.
Cody took her soda and began to chug it. It only took a few minutes before the hot sauce got to her.
"Whoa! Why hell is my tongue burning?" She screamed and ran to get water.
"What did you do?" Randy chuckled as I burst out laughing.
"I put…hot sauce… in her… drink!" I said, through my laughter.
We both laughed as Cody came back with the front of her shirt was wet.
"You're an ass, Randy." She grumbled as she sat back on the couch.
Randy gave her a questioning look and pointed to himself.
"No. other one."
She glared at me and I grinned.
We played Monopoly for a good couple hours until we called it quits and popped in a movie. We let Cody pick the movie. Bad idea.
Now don't get me wrong, I love the movie 'The Wedding Singer'. But when you think about it, it runs very similar to my situation. Now for those of you who have never seen or heard of 'The Wedding Singer', Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler) is the best wedding singer. He's about to get married but gets left at the alter by his fiancé. He meets and befriends Julia (Drew Barrymore) who is a waitress at the weddings he sings at. She is engaged to be married and Robbie helps her plan her wedding and through it all he starts falling with her and she starts falling for him also. Robbie finds out Glen (Julia's fiancé) cheats on her and everything. But before she is wed, she realizes she doesn't love Glen anymore but loves Robbie! See how similar this is to what's happening in my life?
Randy and I were sitting on the couch with a huge space between us. After Cody put the movie in, she walked over and sat own on the side so she was squished.
"Randy, can you scotch over?"
I slide toward Randy a little.
"A little more. I'm still squished."
I rolled my eyes and slid down a little more. Obviously it wasn't enough because she turned sideways and pushed me with her feet so I was really close to Randy. He gave me a small smile, and I blushed a little. I turned and glared at Cody.
"Cody! Be respectful! You're making me squish Randy!"
"It's okay." He chuckled. He slid over a little so we had at least some space. "There."
As I turned to say something to him, Cody pushed me again. Instinctively I put my hand up on his chest so we wouldn't hit heads again. He looked down at my hand and back at me. I blushed.
"Sorry." I said with a sheepish smile. I quickly removed my hand and glared at Cody. She looked at the TV as if she didn't see. We watched the movie and we before it ended I got up and took our now empty cups into the kitchen. After rinsing them off, I put them in the dishwasher and headed to my room to get changed. I closed my door and turned my radio on. I had just finished changing when there was a knock on my bedroom door.
"Come in." I said as I threw my clothes in my hamper.
I turned and saw Randy walk in and shut the door behind him.
"Hey." He smiled.
"Hey. What's up? Where's Cody?"
"She passed out." He chuckled.
He walked over to my bed and sat down.
"I guess all that pushing me, romance, food, and monopoly really tired her out." I laughed.
I sat on my bed next to him and laid back.
We were silent for a while as we listened to the words of the song that was playing.
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I've just got to know
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we could be?
Where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you?
Are you holding back
Like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going
Away
Going away
Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging,
Spending time, girl, are we just friends?
Is there more?
We were sitting really close. I hope he couldn't hear my heart. It was beating like crazy.
"Oh by the way, Cody asked me to spend the night so I could help with stuff tomorrow. Maybe bring the small stuff into moving truck." Randy said, breaking the silence. "If that's okay with you that is."
"Sure." I shrugged. "Why not."
There was a little more silence. The song kept playing and it really started to make me think about everything.
"Charity…."
"What?"
He looked down for a moment.
"Can I honestly ask you something?"
"Sure."
He turned to face me and looked me in the eyes.
"Do you ever wonder about us? " He asked softly.
I looked down and didn't say anything.
He scotched a little closer.
"Do you?"
"Sometimes…." I whispered. "Sometimes I also wonder how differently everything would be…"
I met his eyes. Our faces were really close. I felt this strong connection when I looked at him. I tried to fight the urge to kiss him but before I knew it, I pressed my lips against his. He just sat there for a moment before he started to kiss back. He brought his hand up to my face and cupped it. When we finally pulled apart he sat back a little and we just looked at each other. Luckily we had distance between us when Cody walked in.
"Hey, where di—"
She looked from Randy and back to me.
"what did I just walk in on?"
Randy looks away at Cody.
"I was Just in here thanking Charity for dinner and everything."
He glances at me for a moment as he stands up.
"So goodnight. "
He said goodnight to Cody as he walked out the door. Cody looked at me and gave me a questioning look.
"What just happened?"
I was asking myself the same exact thing.
Man, you gotta love Cody moments. XD
What are your thoughts on Cody leaving?
Do you think she's trying to set up Randy and I?
Let me know what you think! :D
Please don't forget to review!
