Chapter 6Michelle sat with her friend Amanda at the picnic table in the park. She watched as Dave and Randy chased Gracie, Gabriella, and Allison around the grassy area next to the playground. She frowned when she remembered her sister wasn't there. She remembered as they left her apartment how upset and angry Randy looked. She noticed as she glanced at him how those feelings were still there and decided to talk to him about it.
"Hey Manda…"
"Yeah girl?"
"Can you go over and play with the kids and tell Randy to come here for a sec?"
"Sure. Ya know anytime I can talk to Mr. Scrumdiddleyumptious over there I will."
Michelle laughed as she watched her friend walk over towards Randy adding a little more sway in her step when she noticed him looking at her. Pretty soon Randy showed up at the table in front of Michelle.
"Manda said you wanted to talk to me. Although I have a feeling I know what about already."
"Wanna talk about it? If you don't that's fine. It's just you're my friend and I'm worried."
Randy began to remember his fight with his girlfriend.
FLASHBACK
"What is so wrong with me teaming up with Dave?"
"I just think it's a trap. Why would he want to team up with you when he helped kick your ass that night?"
"You somewhat have a point there Stace. But I think Dave and I teaming up is a good idea and so does everyone else. You're the only one who doesn't. Hell your sister's friend Manda even told me she thinks it's a good idea and I just met her a few minutes ago."
Stacy felt anger fill her body. 'That little bitch was talking to my man? Oh hell no.'
"So you just met her a few minutes ago and you're already calling her Manda? What's next are you gonna sleep with her?"
"I can't believe you just fuckin asked me that. I am with you and no one else. I wouldn't cheat on you. I just don't understand what is going on with you. Things were fine until Dave mentioned us teaming up together. At least I thought they were."
"Things are fine Randy. I just don't want you falling into his trap and believing his lies."
"As much as I appreciate your opinion and you worrying about me I've already made the decision to team up with Dave. I'm sorry if you don't like it but I think it's a good idea. Now are you ready to go to the park with your sister?"
"I can't believe you are teaming up with that jackass. You know what go ahead and team up with him. Let him screw you over like Triple H, Ric Flair, and he did before. And when it happens you can bet your ass I am gonna say I told you so. And no I am not ready to go to the park because I am not going if she is going. And if you go you can expect your things outside of this apartment when you get back and I won't be here either."
"Well you can sit here alone and do whatever the fuck you wanna do. Because I already told your sister that I was going. I'll see you later."
Then Randy walked out of the apartment and met up with his friends outside.
END FLASHBACK
Michelle looked at him in complete shock and disgust. She couldn't believe her sister had said all of that. She looked at Randy from where he was sitting across from her and placed her hands over his.
"If it makes you feel any better Amanda and I think it's a wonderful idea. Dave talked to me about it before he mentioned it to you and has no intentions of screwing you over. If he did I'd kick his ass."
Randy smiled slightly and patted her hand.
"You can talk to me too you know?"
Michelle sighed and then nodded.
"I am scared Randy."
"About?"
"I am so scared of falling so deeply in love with him only to end up without him because he went back to Angie. I've been falling for him since I first met him. There is just something about him that broke down all my walls and allowed him entrance into my mind, body, soul, and heart. That scares me so much because the last time I felt like that was with Gabby and CJ's dad. Look how that ended up…me with two beautiful children that I love so much and a broken heart."
"I know you're scared honey. But you have to be willing to take the risk. Dave and I have talked about this after the first night you valeted for him. He really likes you a lot. He is falling for you too. He cares for your children just as you do his. He said the last time he felt this way was when he first met Angie. He's scared too. I know you might not see it and he might not tell you…but he is. If it makes you feel any better I am happy that the two of you are together. I wish I could find what you two have already found in the short amount of time you've been together."
"Well if you weren't with my sister I would push you in the direction of my friend over there. Who by the way was a little disappointed to hear you were with my sister."
"Really?"
"Yeah…ok I know that look of yours Orton. What are you thinking?"
"Stacy and I aren't really together anymore. Do you think once that's completely over your friend would give me a chance?"
"Faster than you can say my name is Randy Orton and I am the legend killer."
Randy laughed at Michelle and stood up to give her a hug. They both were thankful to have the other as a friend. Then they heard Amanda come walking up. Michelle looked at her friend as she pulled away from Randy's hug. She was walking with Gracie and Allison. She started to panic when she didn't notice Gabriella but then calmed down at what she saw. Dave was sitting on a swing holding Gabriella in his lap and the two were talking. After awhile Dave looked up and met her gaze. She smiled and then began talking to her two friends and his daughters at the table. She looked at her sleeping son in his little seat and her smile grew. Meanwhile Dave sat in shock at what Gabriella was telling him. Granted he could only understand every few words but hey she was only three.
"I like you bear."
Dave smiled at her words. Ever since he'd been introduced to this little girl she began to call him bear because apparently she reminded him of a big teddy bear.
"I like you too Gabby."
"You like my mommy?"
"Yes very much so."
"You my new daddy?"
Dave sat in shock and surprise once again. He had no idea what to tell this girl. Yeah he hoped that he and Michelle would live happily ever after like one big happy family, but he didn't want to get this child's hopes up if that didn't work.
"No Gabby I'm not. I'd like to be in the future. But you're mommy and I will have to talk about that ok?"
"Otay bear."
He kissed her forehead and when he looked up he noticed Michelle walking over to them. Michelle noticed the unreadable look on his face. To tell the truth he looked scared about something. She was a little worried but decided to let it be until later. She stood by the swing and smiled.
"Hey you two. Are you hungry?"
"Yeah mommy."
"Ok well why don't you go over to the table. Aunt Amanda has a plate already made for you."
Michelle and Dave watched as she ran as fast as her little legs would let her. They couldn't help but laugh. Dave's laughter stopped as he looked at Michelle. He knew what he needed to do, but didn't want to.
"Michelle…we need to talk later."
"Ok. Do you wanna talk once we get back to the apartment before or after dinner?"
"I think it'd be best if we talked before dinner. Maybe Randy and Amanda can watch the kids while we talk."
Michelle nodded. She went to grab his hand to walk over with him to the table, but he just pulled away.
I know this is shorter than my others where but I realized if I keep my chapters as long as they have been then this story is gonna end up being a lot shorter than I wanted it to be.
