A/N: Thank you for the support on the last few chapters. Now I don't have much to say here for once, seeing as I am writing this right after posting another chapter so instead of rambling on like usual I will just move on to the story. By the way, the Charlie incident was added for entertainment and a few laughs. Getting caught with your pants down is still one of my favorite things to imagine when writing. Also he was in the house because he lived there with Jackie. I hope that clears up why he was there. Also Stacy's baby will make an appearance at some point I havent charted yet, and I will give more insight into the heavenly love thing. It's a build up for another book.

A few hours later when Charlie and his mistress of the night had been sent on their way, and Randy had the few things he brought with him unpacked in his room, he decided the best thing for Jackie might be to have a home cooked meal. Something neither of them had much with being constantly on the road.

As they were seated across from each other, Randy just mesmerized but how easily she was taking this blindness setback he couldn't help relishing in the sounds that came from her mouth over the hot plate of food.

"What exactly is this? I don't think I have every had something so amazing cooked in my entire life. Well at least not since I left home."

Randy smiled and then looked down at the plate before him. What good was having a mother if she didn't teach you how to fend for yourself when the going got tough? Although he had to admit he was glad she couldn't see it after all. Home cooked and made macaroni and cheese wasn't the best meal to impress a girl with.

"It is a homemade recipe that my mother handed down to me when she saw how horribly bad I was in the kitchen. It isn't what you would call gourmet but it gets me by on more then one occasion."

"Well whatever it is, it is the best thing I have had in awhile. You can thank your mother for me when you talk to her."

Randy felt his heart lift at the more the obvious comment to thank his mother for something he had done. He only wished he knew if she meant it the way it had come out or if she was just in the end being polite.

He figured that since she hadn't mentioned it since it happened; he had better get the whole Charlie incident out of the way to make sure she wasn't hurt by it. The last thing he wanted to hear was that having her deal with it had been insensitive or had hurt her feelings in some way. He really didn't have a clue just how deeply she felt for the guy.

"So about earlier—

She shook her head and used her hands in a motion to stop him before he could even get the words out. "Don't think anything of it. It would be just like Charlie to bring some weird girl in here so that when I got home I would tan his hide for it. The funny thing is, she wants him she can have him."

Randy raised his eyebrows at the way she spoke thankful again that she couldn't see the way he was reacting to it. "Are you sure about that? I mean you two were pretty close before the brand expansion came in and ate you up for Raw."

She laughed slightly, allowing herself to relish in the feeling of being able to laugh again after spending the last three days in the hospital worried about the outcome. She hadn't realized how much she missed doing it until now. "Nice choice of words. You sure you came from an army navy base right? You sound more like someone from my hometown."

"Lucky hometown." He realized what he has said the minute it came flying out of his mouth but in the end he had no idea how to deal with the fallout. He didn't want her to think he was only here to pick up on her. He did want to make sure she made it back to the ring in record time.

"Why thank you for trying to make me feel better. Listen, if you don't mind I think I need to go and lie down in the living room, my head seems to be spinning with everything I took in today."

He immediately stood from the chair and within seconds was beside her, guiding her to where he had placed the pillows and blanket only minutes before. The doctor had told him she would be like this for a while and all he needed to do was make sure she got the proper rest and nutrition and it would likely pass.

As she lay down on the couch he immediately reached out for the blanket, unaware that she was also reaching for the same thing. As soon as their hands touched, the spark hit, almost sending the shaken Randy right off his feet and unto the floor.

Just what the hell was that? He thought as he relinquished the blanket to Jackie and bent down to her level to make sure she didn't need anything else.

"No Randy, I'm fine for now. If you want to help though there is one little thing you could do for me."

"And that would be?"

"Sit in the chair off to the side of the couch and rest with me. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow and for some reason I don't think it's going to go all that smoothly. It would be nice to have someone near me as I rest."

He just nodded his head slowly, not realizing at first that she couldn't see the gesture and was probably wondering what was taking him so long to answer.

"Is that a problem Randy?"

"Not at all, I will be right here the entire night. Don't worry about anything."

Meanwhile outside of the house, Charlie sat cramped into the bushes watching as Randy helped himself to another of the blankets and made himself comfortable in the next chair to her.

"So he thinks he can just walk into my home and take the woman I love from me huh? Well he has another thing coming." He muttered to himself, standing to his feet then and rubbing the dirt of the knees of his pants.

He had been with the woman thinking that she would come home with family and she would catch him in the act and immediately realize what a mistake she did sending him packing in the hospital. He didn't expect that person to be Randy though.

As long as Orton was on the scene there was no way he would be able to get what he wanted and live the way he always had since meeting her. The only option available to him now was to get Randy out of the house and maybe off map for good.

"Don't worry Randy, you haven't seen the last of me yet, that I can promise you."
