Chapter Nine: Daddy's Mistake
"Wait, why are you in Laughlin?" Kali asked, hold her phone between her ear and shoulder. She was sitting in the passenger seat of Randy's rental car.
"I'm with John," was Sara's reply.
"I should have seen this coming," Kali smirked.
"What do you mean?" Sara asked.
"You, John. You two more than obviously wanted each other," Kali explained, "It was only a matter of time." She looked at Randy and rolled her eyes.
'Your sister?' he mouthed, Kali nodded in response.
"Oh, so does this mean I'm going to be getting a similar phone call from you about Dave?" Sara retorted. Kali sat straight up at that, wide eyed and nearly dropping the phone.
"What does that mean?" She demanded, looking away from Randy.
"Ooo…Someone's getting defensive!" Sara exclaimed gleefully, "I'm taking that as a yes! You two are extremely, and obviously attracted to each other. So I'm guessing, any day now, I'll be getting a call- unless I should have already gotten one!"
"Sara, you're ridiculous," Kali replied, looking carefully over at Randy, hoping he couldn't hear what Sara was saying. He didn't seem to be paying attention.
"You've already done something with him, haven't you? That's why you got so defensive!" Sara exclaimed.
"Sara, I'm gonna go," Kali said.
"Answer the question!" Sara cried.
"Okay, I'll talk to you later, have fun in Laughlin," Kali said, and hung up on her. She sighed deeply, and smiled over at Randy.
"What was that about?" he asked.
"My sister being well, my sister," she answered with a shrug. He looked at her blankly. "If you knew Sara, you'd understand."
"So, what, she's seeing John Cena?' He asked. Kali nodded.
"Yep. And it's about time, too.Their constant flirting was getting old"
"And what about you?" he asked.
"What about me?" she returned.
"Are you seeing anyone?" he asked. Her thoughts immediately flew to night before and that morning, more specifically, Dave. She shook the thoughts away, and smiled at him.
"No, no I'm not seeing anyone right now," she answered.
"Good," he replied, returning her smile. He reached over and took her hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Dave was in his hotel room, packing his bag when he heard his cell phone beep. He looked up at it, remembering the call he had ignored that morning when Kali had been there. He picked it up and dialed his voicemail. He punched in his code, and listened. There were two new messages, both from Angie. He felt his heart drop when he heard the first one. It had been from the night before, when he was at the club. She was calling to remind him that it was his daughter's birthday, and why hadn't he called her yet? The next one was worse.
"You no-good son of a bitch! What the hell was so important that you couldn't remember to call your own fucking daughter on her birthday! You're an asshole, and a pitiful excuse for a father." Dave deleted both messages, and hung up the phone, feeling absolutely sick to his stomach.
