Chapter 10

Randy had talked to Karen at the arena and she had informed him she had something she really needed to talk with him about...He could take one look in her eyes and know she was completely serious about whatever it was...He had so long to wait to see what she was talking about...he'd been back at the hotel since Raw was over and had taken a shower already.

Randy stood in navy blue pajama bottoms with a navy blue wife beater on staring out the window of his hotel room. He had his arms crossed over his chest and was pulling on his bottom lip in deep thought.

Something caught Randy's eye as he watch Karen walk out of the hotel in jeans and a sweat shirt, she pulled the hood up around her head and hair and started walking off into New York City. Randy wasn't sure if he should worry about her...so he got dressed and took off to follow her just in case.

He watched as she walked down the sidewalk to Central Park, it wasn't too far from the hotel they were staying at. Once Karen reached Central Park she pulled her hood down and pulled her long hair out of the sweatshirt as she slowly sat in the grass, just looking up at the sky.

Randy was sitting back under a tree; he didn't want Karen to think he was following her to spy or whatever. Randy couldn't wait anymore...he'd looked over and seen her crying so he walked over and sat next to Karen in the grass...

Karen looked at him with tears sliding down her cheeks. She smiled a little as Randy handed her a tissue, and she wiped her eyes and said, "You must really think I'm a mess huh...Can go through a damn without tears, can't sleep for more then 8 hours every 7 days...Insomnia so bad it could kill anyone else who had it...but I look so together I could pass as a person with a regular life."

Randy touched her knee and said, "I'm in no position to tell someone if they do or don't have a regular life...My life isn't regular...I used to be such a sex whore...and I'm on the road 230 days out of the year...sometimes more. So what the hell is a regular life now-a-days?"

Karen said, "That is true huh...By the way, I know you used to be a playboy...You don't have to tell me." Randy said, "And you're still giving me a real chance?" Karen giggled a little and said, "What can I say...you made a lasting first impression." Randy said, "God, don't go off that night...It was lousy...I was a total ass to you and you gave me a slap that really woke my ass up."

Karen leaned her head on his broad shoulder and said, "Yea, but you made it up to me...Which was actually worth more to me then any apology you could've given me." Randy rested his lips against the top of her head as he watched her look around.

Karen tilted her head up at Randy as he leaned down and brushed his lips against her softly for a brief moment and said, "C'mon, it's getting cold out here...Vince and Stephanie would have my ass if they thought I had a hand in your getting pneumonia."

Karen laughed as Randy took her hands and helped her to her feet. They talked a little on their way back to the hotel. Karen asked him to come in her room as they both lay in the bed, their shoes kicked off, but still in their jeans and sweat shirts talking.

They both fell asleep and in the morning were awakened by someone banging on the hotel door. Randy got up careful not to wake up Karen, as he walked out and over to the door and opened it to find John on the other side of the door. John started heckling Randy about sleeping with Karen...and Randy explained what happened. John nodded as they both looked over and saw a not so awake Karen standing in the door to the bedroom.

John gave her a hug as she was slowly waking up...John took a seat on the floor as Karen had walked into the bedroom and come back out and sat in the chair as Randy sat on the couch next to the chair and said, "So what's going on?" Karen smiled and Randy saw the unshed tears in her eyes again as John rubbed her hand.

Karen handed Randy a picture...He took it and looked at it and noticed the girl in the picture was her, she had this bright smile on her face and there was a big guy in the picture with her, who was holding out her left hand and Randy suddenly noticed the same ring on her left ring finger was on her right ring finger.

Randy said, "Who is that?"

Karen blinked as huge tears rolled down her cheeks like a waterfall, she said, "My husband."
