Chapter 21

Stephanie and Paul stood up when they saw Randy walking down the hallway with Lena in his arms...they were laughing and talking...Steph looked at Paul and said "Well...I'll be damned."  Paul started laughing and almost fell over.

We went back to the hotel and sure enough Randy booked two flights to Houston Texas the following morning...Paul gave him directions to Mark's house and the code to get the gate open. 

Randy loaded us on a plane and I sat looking at him and said, "I bet you're really proud of yourself aren't you?"  Randy smirked...God I'd give my left arm to keep that smirk on his face...he's so sexy when he does that...Randy said, "Of yours baby."

A few minutes later, Randy pulled a black velvet box out of his pocket and said, "Here..."  I said, "What's this?"  I opened it and nearly hit the floor...it was a blue 2½ Karat diamond in the shape of a heart on a silver band.  Randy said, "Well...You can't be my fiancée properly without a ring."  I said, "Randy Keith Orton...I never agreed to marry you!"

Randy said, "Lena Callaway...will you marry me?" 

I said, "You're serious aren't you?" 

Randy said, "Just about as serious as how much I love you." 

I looked at the ring and looked into Randy's light blue eyes...He wasn't lying...he really did love me...I smiled and said, "Yes." 

Randy kissed my lips and slid the ring on my finger and rested his forehead against mine and said, "I love you." 

I said, "I love you too."

We ended up sleeping the whole flight to Houston…When we got there Stephanie had already had a car rented in our names and we picked it up and took off for the 30 minute drive out of town to Mark's huge ranch house.  We pulled up to the gate and Randy leaned out the door and punched the code in and I leaned over and pinched his butt. 

Randy just looked at me and said, "No fair teasing."  I laughed as we drove up the drive way to Mark's house.  Mark was sitting outside working on one of his many Harley's…He stood up and wiped his hands off and stuffed the rag in his back pocket.

I got out of the rented SUV and Randy walked around and he took my hand and said, "C'mon…virtually painless."  I said, "Suurre…Liar."  We walked over and Mark said, "Randy…what's going on?"  Randy said, "Well…I decided it was time for you two to have a talk."

Mark looked back and forth between me and Randy and finally said, "What do you think Lena…you wanna talk about this or not?"  I said, "Well…Since Randy has shown so much interest in wanting to marry me…I think if we could work some of this out…I would like for my father to give me away at my own wedding."

Mark must've ignored what I said about getting married, cause he said, "Okay…Lemme go shower and you guys c'mon into the house and relax."  We followed Mark into the house and he showed us to the living room and we sat down.
