-Marissa and Alicia's Hotel Room-
Alicia walked out of the bathroom to see Marissa stretching. "Morning buttercup..." Alicia smiled throwing her hair up in a ponytail.
"Morning.." Marissa sighed sitting up.
"You up for talking?" Alicia asked walking over to the bed sitting in front of Marissa.
"I guess.." Marissa sighed.
"Good..." Alicia smiled standing up. "Cause Nikki should be here any minute.." Alicia said and then heard a knock on the door.
Marissa shook her head of course Nikki would be over here first thing in the morning. Marissa looked on as Alicia walked over to the door and opened moved to the side so Nikki could walk in. Nikki walked over to the bed sitting next to Marissa "Okay... Spill... what has been going on?" Nikki said getting straight to the point.
Marissa sighed and shook her head "Randy got upset because I went to dinner with Seth.." Marissa looked to Alicia as she sat in front of her on the bed.
"Well I do see where he is coming from... I mean what man wants the woman they love out on a date with another man?..." Alicia shrugged
"Not to mention said man has a thing for this woman.." Nikki added
"I wasn't a date.. it was just dinner..." Marissa sighed
"How would you feel if Randy went to dinner with that Mandy chick that he took to the Hall Of Fame Ceremony?..." Nikki asked
"We all saw you shooting her daggers.." Alicia added this time.
Marissa sighed and nodded they were right now that she thought about it she wouldn't be okay with Randy going to dinner with another woman. "I guess your right.. I see where he'd be upset about that.." Marissa sighed "But that doesn't excuse him saying I'm more worried about Seth then my own son.. RJ is my whole world.." Marissa sighed
"Wow.." Alicia shook her head
"He apologized for it right?" Nikki asked
"Well yeah.. that doesn't mean it hurts to hear that any less.." Marissa shook her head
"True but you guys have to talk this out..." Nikki said "You still are in no shape to take care of RJ by yourself so you need Randy... and RJ needs you around so you and Randy need to get along.."
"I know.. I know.." Marissa sighed
"Here you can borrow a pair of my pants and a shirt you take a shower and I'll drive you to Randy's.." Alicia said throwing her a pair of yoga pants and a tank top.
-Randy's House-
Randy walked down the stairs holding RJ he was super fussy this morning. "Calm down little man..." Randy sighed as he was rubbing his back trying to sooth the little boy.
Marissa walked in the door she made her way into the living room and saw Randy with a fussy RJ. She shook her head "He doesn't look like a very happy camper.." Marissa said making her way to the couch.
"He's not... I've tried everything.. he isn't hungry he's dry..." Randy sighed handing RJ over to his mother. Marissa placed him on her chest and rubbed his back humming softly with in a few seconds RJ had clamed down. "Wow... that did the trick.." Randy smiled
"He just wanted his mommy.." Marissa kissed the top of his head.
"I guess so.." Randy said sitting down next to her on the couch. "So..." Randy looked over to Marissa.
Marissa knew she needed to talk to Randy about last night. She leaned over to place RJ into his play seat in front of her. "About last night..." Marissa sighed "I'm sorry.."
"Huh?" Randy looked confused
"I shouldn't of gone with Seth.. I should of thought about your feelings.." Marissa said softly
"What brought this on?" Randy questioned
"Nikki and Fox... we had a talk this morning. And they made me realize that I needed to try to see things form your perception.. put myself in your shoes.." Marissa said softly "And I knew I wouldn't be okay if you went out to dinner with someone who had feelings for you.."
"So you know Seth has feelings for you?" Randy sighed
"Yes he did admit it to me... and I let him know that it was never going to happen.." Marissa looked up at Randy "Even though we aren't together right now I still love you and I want to find a way to make this work... and I told him that."
Randy couldn't help but smirk hearing that. "Well I'm glad you put him on notice..." Randy nodded "So does this mean you are going stay away?"
Marissa sighed "I don't know about that... but it does mean that I won't be having any more dinners with him..." Marissa said "And I'm going to put some ground rules down for this friendship.."
"I would hope one of them would be not to put his slimy rotten lips on yours.." Randy said bluntly
"Well I'm not going to put it that way.." Marissa shook her head "But I will tell him he can't try to kiss me again.."
"Good.." Randy nodded "Maybe we can get back on track to building our family?"
"That's the idea.." Marissa smiled
"About what I said last night.. I want to apologize for that... I hate that I said you didn't care about RJ... I know you do I know you'd do anything for him.." Randy sighed "I shouldn't of let my anger get the best of me.. I'd never want to hurt you on perpuous and I know that's what I did.. and I'm sorry for that.." Randy placed his hand on her thigh.
"I know Randy... I know you didn't mean that.." Marissa placed her hand over his and intertwined her fingers with his.
"and I'm sorry I was jumping to conclusions about Seth and you at the hotel.. that was wrong..." Randy looked to Marissa
"It's okay Randy... we just have to work on trusting one another more.." Marissa said softly
"I know I've been a jealous asshole lately... but I'm trying to change that.." Randy sighed "I love you Marissa and I'll do what ever I have to do to make US work to get us back to where we were.."
Marissa smiled and nodded "I know... it's going to take time but I know we love each other enough to make it work.." Marissa smiled
Randy smiled and leaned in and kissed her forehead he loved her so much and he knew if he was going to win her back he'd have to prove to her he trusted her and put his jealously and insecurities to the side as hard as it would be for him he knew he'd have to do it.
