Sorry It's been a little while... I didn't quit on you guys... Block came back but I'm typing up new chapters today as you read this.. hopefully I'll have a large update for you guys...
Thanks to everyone new and old that have been letting me know what you think about this story....
"I feel like a teenager trying to sneak my boyfriend into the house." I whispered, as we headed through the house.
Randy snorted from behind me, "Seems appropriate after the night we've had."
Upon entering the house, we had quickly closed and locked the front door. The only light we had to guide us through the rooms was the moon that shone through the windows. Randy had immediately tucked in behind me and put his hands on my waist to let me lead him through the darkened house, so he didn't bump into things and wake everyone up. The hard part from here was getting up the hard wood staircase.
"Have you ever noticed that when you try to be quiet, you're noisier than when you don't ?" I asked over my shoulder as we tip toed up the stairs.
"I have." Marti's voice filled the silence of the house.
"Sorry." I muttered freezing in my spot, causing Randy to bump into me.
Randy hissed and quickly grabbed for the hand rail to keep us both standing upright.
I heard Marti chuckle, "Did you two kids have fun tonight?" He asked closing the door that he and Rick shared behind him.
"Yes." We both answered in unison as we topped the steps.
"Good." he sighed, "but I have to warn you that your sudden disappearance has caused quite a stir in the others and you are going to have to expect a certain amount of ribbing tomorrow."
We both groaned. We might have spent several hours acting like children again, but the group of people that were sleeping soundly in the other rooms of the house were sure to make it seem indecent in the morning. I'm sure that the scenarios that had started to whip through my mind were going through Randy's as well, and let's just say the playground ain't got nothing on these fools.
"How bad is it?" Randy asked, I'm assuming trying to gauge the seriousness of the day that laid ahead of us.
I heard Marti suck on his teeth and watched his head turn to the side as he thought of the words that would best explain what was said before we got back, "Let's just say that when you neglected to tell Dave where you were... the group started tossing up idea's on what they thought you MIGHT be doing."
I peered over at Randy and giggled, "Boy, won't they be surprised?" I asked quietly.
"Let me guess, 'Brewsters and Hollywood?" Marti asked his voice sounding all knowing.
I had taken Marti to both places several times before and told him of my love of being able to let go of my adult years for a little while and delve myself into all the things that you love as a child, "Yep." I answered, "You know me well."
"Yes I do, princess... Now, it's really late and we have a full day ahead of us, so we all need to get some rest... Good night you two." He said going back into his room.
We listened for the final click of the closing door before we both let out an audible breath, "I feel like the boyfriend that just got caught." Randy chuckled.
I giggled softly, "I know... eerie isn't it, how it just fits together."
Randy turned me around to face him, "Thanks for tonight, Chey, I think I needed this as much as you did."
"Feels good to be a kid again, even for just a little while, doesn't it?" I asked going to make my way toward my room, but Randy grabbed my hand and held me in my spot.
"You always make me feel like a kid when I hang out with you." he admitted, "we need to do this again sometime."
Randy pulled my arm and crushed my body against his, his arms went around my waist and he leaned his head down and placed it on top of mine. The hug was so genuine and strong, not what I had expected from the cocky SOB that wrestled every night on TV... but then again none of the men, or Amy for that matter, was what I had expected. Sure I knew that there had to be fights at times between these people backstage, hell they are together day in and day out... but what I had seen from these people had been nothing but friendship and god only knew how they made me feel like 'Mary Sue' the way we all got along... but that is what is expected, right? I mean this is... a family... One of the major things that I've learned from this whole experience so far has had to of been the family comradery... They never made me feel like the new girl in the bunch, they all excepted me for who I was, and didn't judge me for it. They had to know, that like them, I would make mistakes and get angry, but they kept up with the punches and made the best out of every situation. For me, I knew at that point this is where I belonged, no more whining and pouting about what I couldn't do, but for all the friendships I had gained, it was time to start being the person I knew I could be and the person they had accepted and loved. These friendships were what I had wanted since I was a child... There wasn't any reason to be insecure or stupid with these people, just be who you are and they will find a way to like you.
"Yeah, Randy we do." I smiled as we pulled apart, "I need to do this as often as possible. Things had really gotten me down and I know I had been hard on you and everyone else at times, and I just want to say thanks for caring enough to get me out." I said kissing his cheek.
"That's what friends are for, Chey... We notice when there needs to be a change of some kind to help you get through life... you will find in this business you have to lean on each other. So far every body who's come down here has enjoyed your spirit, and your carefree, don't take things too serious attitude. You need to hang onto that. You will go far because you treat everyone with respect, and how you want to be treated... And I had fun too, so don't get too cocky and think tonight was all about you." he smirked.
I laughed, "You got it."
Kissing the top of my head he made his way into his bedroom and left me standing in my spot in the hall with a large smile on my face."Goodnight." I whispered to his back, and watched as he threw me a wave and went into his room.
Please Review- Thanks
