Chapter 3 - No Turning Back

As Laura was driving, she kept thinking about what to say to Randy when she got there, and how to make a conversation without stumbling over her own words and messing everything up.

She was at Randy's house at last. She looked around, this was the first time she'd ever been to his house. She always knew where it was, but shenever had a chance to go inside it.

She looked in the mirror, fixed her hair and opened her car door while silently praying to herself.

Laura walked slowly to the door, she was so nervous and was thinking about turning around and going him
'I have to go in, I cant go back now' she thought to herself. She then lost all her confidence,turned around and started to
walk back to her car' Just then she heard a voice..

"HEY" she looked around confused...

"Over here!" She heard the voice again.

She turned around slowly, and there he was...

She looked him up and down, he was wearing sandals,dark blue nike shorts,a light blue shirt and a nike hat.

"Hey...where were you going?" Randy asked confused.
"Uh..no where just back to my car to look in the mirror and fix my makeup.." Laura said trying to not show how nervous she was..

"Your makeups fine, you look great." Randy said making Laura blush.

Laura tried to calm herself down...and then said "Thanks...you look great too" She said smiling at him.
"Well what are we standing out here for?Follow meinside." Randy said motioning for Laura to follow behind him.

'Not a problem, I like the view from back here' Laura thought giggling as she follows Randy.

As they walked inside Randy turned around.

"Whatcha giggling about?" He said smiling.

"Oh..Nothing." Laura said looking around. "Beautiful home.." She said looking at his sparkling blue eyes.

"Thanks, hey..I didnt give you directions, how'd you know where my house was?" Randy asked as Laura stood there loss
for words.

"Uhhhh..Well, I've been around the area, and seen you here a couple of times." Laura said lieing.

The only reason she knew where his house was, is because she practically begged Trish to show her where Randy's house was. She looked around at the pictures, and saw one of Randy with a girl about his age, next to him. She frowned, and looked away..

"So...who are these pictures of?" She asked trying to get an answer on who this girl was.

Randy walked over to where Laura was and pointed at each picture on the wall.

"This is of my dad, Cowboy Bob Orton." He said pointing

"This one is of my grandmother." He pointed again

"And this is of me and my..."

Laura cringed and crossed her fingers hoping it wasnt his girlfriend..

"sister, Becky." Randy continued.

Laura smiled brightly. "She's pretty, and defintley looks like you."

"You saying I look like a girl?" He said laughing.

"You know whatI mean" Laura said hitting him gently with her purse. But she didnt pay attention to where she was hitting...So as she swung her purse, it hit Randy right in his groin..

"Ouch!" Randy said holding his crotch area..

Laura panicked "Oh shit, im sorry..Really..Ill get some ice." Laura ran intothe kitchen and opened the freezer gathering some ice and putting it into the bag.

As she did this, she stood there to thing for a second..'I didnt hit him that hard...to where it'd really hurt!'

"Hurry with the ice please!" Randy shouted.

Laura snapped out of her thoughts and ran into the living room.

She didnt know what to do, so she put the ice on the table.

Randy looked at her..."Put it here.." He said pointing to his crotch.

Laura hesistated and took a deep breath, of course she didnt have a problem with putting the ice there..But she was nervous.

She put it gently on his groin area. Randy sighed in relief.

"Thank you so much." He said kissing her on the cheek.

A couple minutes later, he was all better, it was now 4:30.

Laura sat on the couch and put the TV on, she flipped through channels and stopped on Spongebob.

Randy came into the living room, sat next to her and said
"Spongebob sucks!"
"No he doesnt!" Laura said laughing and nudging Randy.
"I dont wanna watch spongebob!" Randy said grabbing the controller,laughing. Laura laughed and tugged on the controller, they kept fighting over it and laughing. At 4:50 Laura finally stopped tugging on the controller.

"Fine its yours." She said laughing and getting up.

Randy stuck his tounge out at her.

"But you should know that the get-together is in 10 minutes." She said sticking her tounge out at Randy.

Laura and Randy were both sweating from fighting over the controller for so long.

So finally Laura grabbed her keys, and they went out the door into the car..

As they were driving Randy kept popping in different tunes. Laura smiled and glanced at him, She was beginning to feel comfortable around him, but she was still so nervous about the get-together, and especially the sleeping arrangements, since they were going to be sleeping over.

She bit her lip and tried not to stare at Randy, he just looked so adorable, sitting there and bobbing his head to the music, and looking out the window.

They finally arrived, they both got out of the car. Laura went to open the door, and Randy was behind her...

'What happens tonight, could change my life for the better, or for the worse' she thought to herself turning the knob..
