Chapter 21

Another Chance

As soon as Natalie seen them, she ran to the room, where she would be welcomed again, John's.

"Natalie, what are you doing here? Are you okay?" John said answering the door.

"John, are you busy?"

"No, sweetie. What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Randy cheated on me." Natalie managed to spill out from crying.

"Baby, with who?"

"Stacy."

"I can't believe he would do that to you." John said trying not to laugh.

"Me neither, I don't know what's going on anymore."

"Well you can stay here if you want."

"I really don't know. I feel really uncomfortable now, since I told you no and all."

"Baby, don't worry about it. It's in the past."

"Yeah."

"If you want to start out again.."

"John, I don't know what I want yet."

"Ok, why don't you get your own room for time to think about it? I'm sure I'll see you later."

"Alright, John. Thanks for being such a sweetheart."

"No problem, I'll see you later." John said closing the door, happy that his plan was back again in full swing.

--twenty minutes later--

"I lost her again, Dave!"

"This time it was your fault."

"Dave, Stacy was all over me."

"Did you try to explain that to Natalie?"

"No, she walked out."

"Did you go after her?"

"No."

"Then why the fuck are you here bauling to me about it, go and talk to her."

"Wonder if she hates me?"

"Despite the fact that you cheated on her, she still loves you man."

"I can't believe it. Last night, I thought we were going to be together, then it all changed."

"What do you think cheating does?"

"Oh Dave, I'm sorry man. I completely forgot about you and Angie."

"It's alright."

"How is things going with that?"

"My attorney sent her divorce papers today. She called my cell last night, left a message, I deleted. No offense, Orton. But my theory is, once a cheater, always a cheater."

"I didn't want to cheat on, Natalie."

"Then tell her that."

"John's probably after her now."

"Randy, quit your God damn worrying about John and her, you just lost her, you know she loves you, you just messed up. And if she doesn't forgive you, then it's not meant to be."

"I guess you're right, Dave. Thanks for the advise, man."

--meanwhile--

"So we're both single now, huh?" Nickie said on the phone as her and her best friend were now discussing today's topic, Randy.

"I guess. Last night, I thought everything was finally going to be put back in place. Now, that isn't going to happen."

"Did you give him a chance to explain himself?"

"No, he cheated on me. Plain and Simple."

"I guess you're right."

"So no chance between you and Paul anymore?"

"Nope, I just don't think I'm supposed to be with him. Maybe you're not supposed to be with Randy either, hon."

"You're right."

"When are we going to be going back home?"

"Soon, I think. I need a break from here. Are you coming with me?"

"I really don't know."

"Ok, well I'm going to relax, watch a movie. I'll call you later."

"Alright, girl. See ya."

--ten minutes later--

Randy was sitting there, couldn't be the last twelve hours events, one minute he was the happiest guy on the Earth, and now, he just was scum. He cheated on the person who he loved most. It wasn't exactly all his fault, Stacy came on to him. But he kissed back, that was the problem. Was he really in love with Natalie? He sat back in the leather couch and clicked on the radio.

Sometimes it's hard

When you're so deep inside

To see all you can lose

In a blink of an eye

Dreams could be shattered

You could be gone

How would I survive?

Cause you're where I belong

My soul believer

Without you I don't know who I would be

Underneath, I can feel you move through me
Inside out, you surround me
I breathe you like I'm taking my last breath
Oh, you're everything I know
So how could I let you go

Sometimes I listen to a voice that isn't mine
I disconnect from everything inside
And I have made choices
And wasted all the days
I could have been with you
Where my heart stayed
I know you've waited faithfully
Blessing our love even stronger

Underneath, I can feel you move through me
Inside out, you surround me
I breathe you like I'm taking my last breath
Oh, you're everything I know
So how could I let you go

And I've been blessed
For every kiss
For every breath
(How could I let you down)
And I've been touched,
By hands I trust
My love is risen

Underneath, I can feel you move through me
Inside out, you surround me
I breathe you like I'm taking my last breath
Oh, you're everything I know
So how could I let you
How could I let you go

He turned it off after he heard that song, and thought about Natalie and what she had meant to him, and decided to go talk to her.

Natalie, on the other hand, was sitting down on her couch watching a hotel PPV, when her door rang.

"Who is it?" Natalie asked after she heard the knocking.

"It's me." Randy called hoping that despite the incident, she would be caring enough to answer the door. She saw it was him and opened up the door.

"Hey Randy." Natalie greeted him with a small smile, and moved out of the way, signaling he could come in.

"I really need to explain myself to you."

"Fine." Natalie said sitting back down on the couch, while Randy sat on the loveseat.

"What you seen was just a kiss. She kissed me, Natalie. I didn't want to kiss her."

"It seemed to me you kissed her back."

"I did, and I have no idea why. But, Natalie we just got back together, I sincerely did not want to cheat on you."

"You might not have Randy, but you did."

"It was just a kiss."

"I know that Randy, and that fact is making it very hard not to let you go. But what if it would just happen again?"

"I can't guarantee that it won't."

" I know that, Randy. That fact scares me."

"Natalie, I promise you, that I love you and I need you." Randy said moving over to the sofa.

"Randy, that is stuff I know."

"What else do you want me to tell you?"

"I really don't know."

"I want another chance." Randy said leaning in to kiss her.

"Randy, no!" Natalie said moving off the couch. "You are not going to come in here and think that words are going to heal my pain. Randy, you hurt me. I'm going to need some time to think about it."

"Fine, I'll talk to you later."

"See ya."

"Randy." Natalie said making Randy turn around.

"What?"

"Thanks for coming."

"Yeah, sure. See ya." Randy said walking out of room.

A/N: That song was yet, another Jessica Simpson song, for some reason her songs fit my stories, it's called "Underneath" on her album In This Skin.
