Chapter 17

"Cheyenne, get your tail down from there!" Rick called out from the yard, "It's time for dinner!"

Smiling I began climbing down from my perch on top of the shade building above the ring. "Coming!" I yelled hobbling toward him.

He shook his head at me as I grew nearer, "I really wish you wouldn't get up there." He scolded.

Looking over my shoulder, I looked at the place I had just came from and shrugged, "What, it's no higher than a cage."

Rick snorted, "You are already injured and we have a lot of plans for you once the doctor clears you, so we can't risk you breaking your neck until that happens."

I smiled and wrapped an arm around his waist as we made our way toward the house, "I didn't know you cared so much, dad." I replied laying my head on his chest.

"If that is how you see me, then you need to start listening to me when I tell you not to get up there anymore." he said pushing me through the door and into the kitchen.

"Here Chey." Dave said handing me a plate, "I went ahead and fixed you a plate."

I smiled and greedily took the plate from him, "Thanks D." I said sitting down at the table with him, Randy and Paul. "Where's Matt and Amy?" I asked the group.

Randy wiggled his brows at me, "Hot date." He smirked.

I nodded. "Good they need a night alone. Oh, and Marti... speaking of alone time, if you have a minute later maybe we could sit down and chat."

Marti shook his head, "Sorry, can't... I can't let Amy and Matt have all the fun. I've got a date, how about first thing tomorrow?" he asked heading for the stairs.

"Sure..." I agreed and then stopped him from continuing up the steps, "Who's the date?"

"Why you asking?" He asked with a small blush rising up on his cheeks.

I grinned knowingly, "She wouldn't happen to be the dark headed nurse that works in my doctors office would she?"

All the guys turned to Marti expectantly, awaiting his answer, for they all knew which nurse I was asking about.

Marti laughed nervously with all eyes on him, "Umm... Yeah." He answered running from all the guys hooping and cheering.

"Don't stay out too late!" I hollered after him, "Midnight your coach turns into a pumpkin."

After we finished eating Randy and myself began clearing the table while Dave and Rick went to get ready for a night out at the local dance club.

"Why do you always keep yourself locked up out here?" Randy asked handing me a dish to load in the dishwasher.

I accepted the dish then turned to look at him, "Why do you always stay home with me?" I retaliated.

"I asked you first." He winked at me.

"That's real mature, Randy." I laughed... I really didn't know what to say, I loved being at home. I had done the whole club scene when I was seventeen and didn't stop until I was in my mid twenties... I felt like it was a seven year drunk and now that I've stopped, I'm burnt out on trying to find decent people amidst alcohol and drugs... Not worth it anymore.

"You two behave yourselves while we're gone." Dave called from the doorway interrupting my thoughts.

I turned and looked at the two of them about to head out, dressed to impress and I whistled, "I hope you smell as good as you look."

Dave sauntered over and offered his neck to me and I took a big sniff, "Ohhhh, 'Coolwater' you hussy. I need to call the clubs and let them know that the men of Evolution are on the prowl." I laughed as he grinned from ear to ear, "Dammit I love that shit." I exclaimed following him to the door, sniffing the air that flowed behind him.

"So do all the other ladies." Dave called back about to get into the car.

I laughed as I entered the house again, how ironic that they respect me for staying away from them because they're married but yet they go out to the clubs to find other women who don't give a shit.

"You haven't answered my question." Randy said leaning against the island in the middle of the kitchen.

"I don't know how to answer it that's why... I mean, I love being at home. No drunk idiot grabbing my ass, because he thinks he can. No worries about trying to find a ride home after one too many drinks... there is a whole list of reason's why I'd rather stay home instead of going out to a club."

Randy smiled and nodded, "But there are other things to do besides going out to a night club, and yet you never go and do anything."

Now that I thought about it he was right. I never do anything away from home, except going to the doctor, or the store... I've been leading such a sheltered life in the past few weeks, work used to get me out of the house, but now I do everything right here. Looking over at Randy I got an idea, "Do you feel like staying at home?" I asked with a mischievous gleam in my eye.

Randy eyed me suspiciously, "What is going through that brain of yours?"

"It will be a surprise if you feel like going anywhere." I answered.

I watched as the wheels in his head started turning, he looked like he had no idea what he wanted to do, but I knew if he was anything like John had told me... He'd be up for almost anything.

"Alright, I'm game." He smiled, "How fast can you get ready?"

I made a limping dash for the stairs, "I'll be ready before you are." I laughed as he ran after me.
