Chapter 13
A couple of weeks later, Randy hadn't spoken to Linda...He hadn't even tried to talk with her...He was getting most of his support from David, Paul and Ric.
Linda was walking down the hallway when she saw David leaning against the women's dressing room door...David said, "Just the Diva I was looking for." Linda made a face and said, "What's up David?" David opened the door as she followed him in and he closed and locked the door.
They sat down and David said, "So what's this about the past you and Randy have?" Linda said, "What are you the problem solver now? I thought that title was for the goat boy Tyson Tomko down the hallway."
David said, "I'm serious Linda...What's going on...That kid hasn't been the same since he came to see you after that slap you gave him...Then came back and gave us some weird story about you being some old girlfriend he was married to and whatever."
Linda sighed heavy as she could feel the tears starting to swell her eyes...David said, "Its true isn't it...all of it?" Linda's bottom lip was shaking as she was trying to calm her weak nerves...she'd been crying so much in the last 2 weeks since the encounter with Randy...She almost forgot how to do her own job.
Linda nodded yes and David said, "So...I mean how?" Linda sat down and said, "We just went to high school together." David said, "He told us he fucked up...something about screwing a lot of girls." Linda nodded and said, "4 high schools worth...to be exact. In the end I couldn't take the heart break...I've never loved anyone as much as I loved him...but I will NEVER be able to trust him."
David said, "You're still in love with him aren't you?" Linda scoffed and said, "Was it THAT obvious?" David said, "Only to someone who's been in love with the same woman for God knows how long." Linda smiled weakly and said, "How is Angie and the girls?" David said, "Well, Angie sends her love but Grace and Emily want to know when they are going to see their Auntie Linda again."
Linda said, "That reminds me I've got some t-shirts and CD's for the girls, so see me before you go home tomorrow." David said, "No one spoils them in our family like you..." Linda laughed and said, "Well Someone has too...It might as well be me." David said, "Did you know Randy's still in love with you as ever?"
Linda said, "Sure and sometime in the near future I'm going to sprout wings and fly to the next venue." David said, "I'm serious...you guys should talk about this...I realize that a broken heart from the love of your life cheating on you with a large number of women is nothing too over look lightly...All I'm saying is...You guys still love each other...There has to be something there that fits in the puzzle to complete the whole situation."
Linda shrugged and said, "Believe me David...If it was something as simple as a piece of a puzzle...I would have tried to fix us when we were still in high school...I will never love anyone as much as I do him...And it sucks, because no matter how hard you try you have no control over who you fall in love with."
Linda followed David to the dressing room door and opened it...David pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head as he said, "If you need to talk...Let me know...I'll come see you before I leave tomorrow to get the girls stuff." Linda nodded.
She didn't notice the blue eyes staring at her...watching her as she started crying and getting weak...
Weak again...as always.
