Randy and I walked into the arena hand in hand and Lana on his hip it was an odd feeling for me knowing this was my last weekend here, my last weekend traveling with randy, I'd be lying if I didn't say that thought made me a little sad, I couldn't help but wonder how our relationship would be once we're apart more times than not.
Feeling Randy nudge me gently "hey you ok there?" glancing up I couldn't help but smile, he has been so kind and amazing this week, I need to just get out of my head, but I couldn't shake this terrible feeling of dread coming over me "Yes, just strange is all." We stopped walking now in front of medic where I was to report for my last weekend here "what is?" his eyes intently on me "freedom." I grinned at the idea "I haven't been free since I was eighteen years old randy." Placing his free hand on my hip he leaned down kissing my lips gently making Lana giggle.
Both of us smiling at the little girl "you deserve it you know." Randy's voice making me break my stare on his little girl, putting my attention back on him blowing out a nervous breath "I know, it's just, strange." Was the only word I could think of, feeling Randy's thumb gently move circles on the top of my hip bone "I'm scared it's not going to happen, he'll take all of it away, I'm so close." Clearing my throat shrugging "anyways, you two have fun." Desperately not wanting to allow the negative thoughts invade my head that was s dying to get in there.
Randy nodded "you too, I love you." Before again bending forward giving me a kiss causing Alana again to giggle shaking my head "I love you." Before walking into medic.
Chris sitting in his chair a pile of paper work in front of him "you need any help?" sitting across from him "No I'm about done, been a quiet week." Looking at me he grinned "you excited?" shrugging picking at my nails "hey what's this?" Chris and I had become close and I had opened up to him about a lot "I'm just nervous, I mean this is the first time since I was eighteen I'm free you know, it's scary, I'm doing all the right things but can I continue when it's my choice?"
"I think you will, you're a good girl, you got fucked up, who hasn't? Don't let that cloud hang over your head, don't do that to yourself." Biting my lip that was easier said than done.
"His right you know." Making my head snap grinning seeing mark before I could think I was running hugging him tightly , of course he'd be here this weekend, for some reason I just didn't expect to see him "can I steal her?" Chris nodding "come on." Following him quietly,
"How you holding up?" sighing that seemed to be the common question of the day so far, shrugging "surreal." Peeking at the larger man I sighed "I feel like his just messing with me you know? Like his going to change his mind." Biting my lip feeling like a small child and I couldn't tell you if it was because of marks larger than life presence or this strange situation I found myself in these intense fears, mark stopped walking looking down at me "you are a strong young women, you deserve to be happy.'' Biting my inner lip my throat felt tight "everyone keeps saying that." Looking down shrugging "hey kiddo what's this." Mark putting his huge thumb and index on my chin making me look back at him.
"I just uh." Shaking my head "its dumb other than feeling like it'll be taken away from me I kind of grew comfortable here." And I didn't want to leave Randy.
"And you'll miss the boyfriend." As if he could read my thoughts, I felt my face flush with heat "well that as well, I just I know how busy he is and his time home as it should be is with his daughter, I just worry without me traveling with him, or living with him, where do I fall into place." Biting my lip as worries I hadn't even fully acknowledged yet surfaced.
Blowing out a breath "as much as I hate to say this, I haven't always cared much for Orton, one things for sure, the man loves you, we two will figure it out but you need to talk to him." Nodding "your right." But when was mark not right? Throwing his arm over my shoulders "Come on I'll feed you some lunch before this weekend really begins."
RANDYS POV-
A gofer called me to Vince's office almost immediately after I left Emily, drumming fingers against the oak table next to me, I had left Alana with John and Nikki, I'm sure he loved me for that move, but if this meeting was what I thought it would be about, I didn't need my daughter here for that conversation.
"Hey Randy! How are you?" Vince's loud voice boomed through the door way, nodding "can't complain Vince, how are you?" exchanging polite greetings, Vince nodded sitting down in front of me "not too bad, sorry to keep you waiting, where's Alana? "Looking around the room for my daughter.
"With Jon and Nikki, and I'm sure he'd rather I come back sooner than later." I trailed off hoping he would get the hint, hoping I didn't leave this room hitting my boss and ending up fired.
Vince nodded "I uh, my wife told me about her visit to you." Nodding I was right crossing my arms over my chest "yes.'' Leaning back "she told me you promptly asked her to leave your house after she expressed concern of how quickly yours and Emily's relationship has moved." Randy nodded "I did and as I told her I'll tell you the same things, that's mine and Emily's concern, with all due respect sir." Randy narrowed his eyes, since when did her family care so much? All she was fourteen years old running wild and none of them cared to notice now as a father himself he couldn't figure that out.
He couldn't figure out how no one in this family noticed a girl that went from being an athlete, playing volleyball, straight A student to failing and quitting all her sports, all her after school activity, she stopped talking to friends, how did they not notice? It made his blood boil.
"Well Randy-"clearing his throat leaning forward on his elbows "it is my concern." Randy rolled his eyes his patience with her family on a thin line "I feel you as much at fault of Emily's down fall as anyone else." Biting the inside of his cheek Randy had to remind himself this was his boss "and I worry that the moment I sign this." Pulling a folder out of his desk drawer, the papers for Emily's freedom sitting on that desk "you two will pick up on the down fall." Randy snorted "neither of us are the same fucked up kids we once were Vince, you of all people should know that." Randy knew he was playing with fire, he also knew it wouldn't be him to get burned if he said or did something wrong, like punch his girlfriend's father in the face.
Vince nodded "that may be true for you, but Emily, her maturity is stunted, right now it's easy for her to do the right things, she has no choice, I sign this paper, it becomes a little harder." Randy shook his head "When will you see it Vince? She wasn't some rebellious kid, she was your fucking daughter who was drowning and crying very fucking loudly for help!" Randy snapped getting tired of the charade here.
"And you knew all along and never said a word! Not one fucking word Randy!" Vince snapped back his face turning red, most people would back down from their boss, but randy wasn't most people.
"Wasn't my business to speak on?" Randy shrugged "I had her she was safe with me, she was taken care of with me." Vince nodded "expect when you handed her, how much money was it again randy? For an abortion because you didn't want me to can your ass." Randy laughed rubbing his face nodding.
"Yea I did do that, and I fucking hate myself daily for it Vince, that's between again Emily and I myself, so get to the point." He was done with the back and forth.
"I want you to end things with Emily." Randy shook his head "no." he simply put it, he wouldn't let her go again.
Vince nodded "well then I don't sign these papers." Randy shook his head "what is your deal? She's happy! Isn't that what any parent wants for their child? For them to be happy? She's fucking happy, she's happy with this new job, she's head over heels in love with her own townhouse, which by the way did you know she saved her checks from her to pay for? She's is happy with me, she's in a great fucking place!" Randy exploded
"until she starts missing you randy and she decided to move in with you, because being in your house even without you is closer to you, then travels with you, before any of us knows it you have her knocked up and she's spiraling, I have put in too much work on her to watch her throw her life away again just like-"Vince stopped himself, Randy's interest intrigued, just like? He wondered who Vince was compering her to.
"Even if you guys don't, I have more faith in Emily then that, she is fully committed to her job, she fucking loves her job, and she's excited to finally be in the area of it she wants to be in! I would never let that happen to her, I wouldn't let her throw all her hard work away." Randy gritted out every ounce of control he had to not punch Vince.
"You end it, I sign these papers, you don't I change my mind, and I may even ask for her to be reevaluated, I mean making out the Ambrose, getting back together with the man that's just at fault for her down fall as anyone else, kissing Jon what twice since you two have start dating? Doesn't sound like decisions a sound stable person would make." Randy hit the table glaring at Vince "you son of a bitch!"
"You could've made this easy when my wife paid you a visit, I didn't want to pull this card, and you can let me know before the weekend ends what your decision is." Unphased by Randy's outburst.
EMILYS POV-
I had left mark not too long ago and now just found myself walking around the arena, being here this weekend was more of familiarity then anything, I didn't mind since I got an extra weekend in with Randy. I felt better after lunch with mark, but I always did with mark, sometimes I wished I was his daughter, I remember as a little girl I would pray that my mom would tell me I was adopted and mark was really my dad and I could go home and live with him.
"Emily." I heard from behind me making me stop sighing I wasn't in the mood for this, slowly turning there stood Lilly and she actually looked, scared? No Lilly was never scared "can we talk?" biting my lip kicking the concreate with the tip of my shoe "uh yea sure." Why not I was already one foot out the door right?
She nodded towards an empty hall, sighing I followed her both of us sitting across from each other stretching my legs out, Lilly sighed "I uh-"she started picking at her jeans "I'm sorry Emily." Frowning I knew how hard it was for Lilly to apologize "I just uh seeing Jon and then him helping me out the way he did." She sighed "it was a lot just that, and then I got here and I watched you with him, actually I watched you with him that day." Biting my lip "you let him see your scar." She whispered eyes glancing at my covered arm, if I could I would wear long sleeves, less looks, less questions and arenas are always so cold no one questions my wardrobe choice nodding "I do." Thinking of how many times Randy has kissed my scar up that arm apologizing to me for not being there.
"You never let me." Looking down I pulled my knees up "I know." I whispered clearing my throat "it's nothing personal, I just, I don't know this scar and randy are somehow connected." Was the best way I can put it, Lilly nodded "I watched you two when I got here for the first week, how openly affectionate you were with him, I was jealous." Biting my lip I sighed looking at her "Lilly if I ever led you on." She held up her hand "see that's the thing you didn't, I always knew you were in love with him, I led myself on and became angry with you, then Jon tells me his feelings for you and I just, I don't know I spiraled in anger and bruised ego." Sighing I wonder how she would've reacted if it was Jon and I who had gotten together instead me going back to Randy.
"I'm sorry Lilly." Was all I could get out, she shook her head "no I'm sorry, we talked about all the things we could do once both of us where free of that place instead of doing those things, I was mean and hateful to you out of jealously." Sighing "and randy was worried about Jon." I joked making both of us laugh as we stood up, Lilly held open her arms nodding I embraced my, friend? I couldn't tell you right now, but I knew I was unexpectly relived to have made admins with her either way "when do you leave?" she questioned as we made our way down the hall "Monday after Raw, Randy and I are flying back to St. Louis so he can drop his daughter off with her mother, then he fly's back out Tuesday morning and I start work Wednesday morning." Lilly nodded "busy week." Nodded "it'll be nice though, I like busy." Seeing randy quickly making his way towards us.
Frowning at his face "hey-"grabbing my hand without a word or even a glance at Lilly he led me fatly away "randy what's wrong?" I questioned but he wouldn't answer me leading me into an empty locker room his lips roughly on mine as soon as the door was closed "I want this up." Tugging at my scrub top in between hot breathy kisses moving them across my jaw line only stopping to pull my top over my head "and these down." Tugging my scrub pants down hooking his thumbs into the side of thong pulling them down with my pants before his lips was back on me, everywhere, my mouth, my jaw line, kicking my shoes off I finished his job of removing my pants and panties "lift up my love." Before nipping my ear wrapping my legs around his waist.
Laying on the floor my head on Randy's chest hearing his heart racing "that was-"looking at him smiling "good." Randy chuckled kissing the side of my head entwining his fingers with mine "you ok? It was uh, very." Biting my lip "possive." Randy sighed staring at me for a moment lifting his head he ran his hand over my face "you know I love you right?" frowning this wasn't like Randy, what happened sitting up facing him our hands still entwined "I do, randy?" I questioned my brows furrowed in confusion "I just uh I need to know you know how much I love you, I'm so fucking honored that you have forgiven and given me a second chance to love you." Nodding I bent forward lightly kissing his lips "I love you randy, it's not good bye you know?" chuckling as I stood up gathering my discarded garments, randy watching me his eyes intently on mine before matching my actions blowing out a breath pulling me to him, my head on his still bare chest kissing the side of my head "I know sweet heart." He mumbled holding me close to him.
