After having dinner, Randy and Dani snuggled on the couch and in no time, she fell asleep on his shoulder. Randy looked at her sleeping and couldn't believe what all happened. He was able to convince her to move back in and give him another chance, but she had to turn his world upside down with the news of a baby and that she has a lump in her breast.
All he could think of was how her mom suffered with breast cancer and it made his shudder. What if she did have cancer? He would be on the road 5 out of 7 days a week, she'd be at home alone with the baby struggling on her own to make everything work. He couldn't do that to her.
" But then what if it was negative?" He asked himself. Then they just have the baby to deal with. "A baby." Randy whispered out loud. He hadn't planned on having kids for many years yet. He wasn't ready to settle down yet. Being in a relationship was one thing, but to be strapped with a kid too? They would never have any time for just the two of them anymore. "So much for my plans." He whispered.
Randy slowly got up and picked Dani up and carried her upstairs to their room. It was still hard to go in there and see no traces of her there, but at least he knew she was coming home.
Once he got her settled, he another beer and headed out to the balcony. He looked up to the stars and took a long drink of the beer. He wasn't very religious, but he had prayed that something would make Dani give him once more chance. He took his ball cap off and looked up. "I know everything happens for a reason, and sometimes you have to give a little to take a little." Randy said out loud. He took another drink and continued, "So I'm hoping that you know just what you're doing by making me a father."
He sat down on one of the chairs and finished his beer. He went inside, grabbed the rest of the 6 pack and sat back down on the balcony and did some soul searching.
The next morning Dani woke up and reached across the bed but she didn't find Randy. She sat up and it looked like he hadn't even come to bed. She got out of bed and headed out to the living room. There was Randy fast asleep in a lawn chair but surrounded by empty beer bottles.
She shook her head and began picking up the mess. She straightened up the balcony and the living room. Then she went and hopped in the shower.
Dani turned on the water and just let if fall upon her. She started thinking about the night before. She had decided to give him another chance. The thought of what he had done still nauseated her, but seeing as how she was the only woman he had ever been with, maybe he had needed to experiment a little to cherish what they had? She sighed. God how she hoped so. And now, would they always have something weird?
As she thought about Randy's reaction to the baby, she felt two arms slide around her. "Morning baby." Randy mumbled and he kissed her on the neck.
"Are you hung over?" She asked playfully while leaning into him. It felt so good to be in his arms, she couldn't help but smile.
"No, just stiff." He replied. "Maybe you could loosen me up?"
She giggled and Randy decided to take that as an invitation. Dani turned around and kissed him lovingly. "I missed you Randy."
Randy nodded, "I missed you too." And he kissed her back.
They began to make out, and Randy leaned her against the wall and began kissing her neck and making his way down to her chest. He allowed his tongue to explore her awaiting body. He slowly kissed her breasts and suckled her nipples.
She let a moan escape and allowed her hands to caress his stomach and slowly began to caress his manhood. She could feel it stiffen as her massage lingered on.
He lifted her up and slowly entered her. They made love like it was the first time.
When they were done, Randy tilted Dani's head up and gazed into her eyes, "I love you princess."
She smiled and kissed him, "I love you too."
They finished washing up and Randy shampooed and conditioned Dani's hair for her. They toweled off and got dressed.
"Alright, so I figure if we trade your car with Becky's truck, we can get your stuff moved back in here in no time." Randy said with a smile.
Dani laughed, this was the Randy she knew and loved. "Alright, call her and see if she can trade us vehicles for awhile."
Randy called Becky and got the ok. "Ok, where are your keys?"
"They're on the kitchen table." Dani replied sorting out the laundry.
"I'm going to go and grab her truck, I'll honk when I get back and we'll go." Randy said giving her a kiss.
"Sounds good, I might just meet you outside, it's so nice out." Dani replied.
Randy hopped in her car, adjusted the seat and set off to her sister's apartment. It was weird to be home on a Saturday, but kind of nice. Dani had the radio set to country and she had it up loud. Randy turned it down and was about to switch the station when the dj announced there was a new song from Keith Urban and they were about to play it. Randy knew that was one of Dani's favorites, so he decided to give it a chance. He heard the guitar strumming and the lyrics captured him.
"Making Memories Of Us"
I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us
By the end of the song, Randy had tears in his eyes, it was like the song had been written especially for them. He noted the name of the song and turned on the local hard rock station.
A little while later, Randy pulled in the parking lot of the apartment building and he seen Dani sitting outside talking to a group of guys. Randy turned off the truck and walked over to them.
"Randy, do you remember Chris Knox?" Dani asked.
Randy smiled, "Yes I do, how are you doing man? It's been awhile." And he shook Chris's hand.
"It sure has. I'm doing good, and I don't even have to ask about how you're doing. Congratulations. You remember my brother John, and this is Allan and Mark." Chris replied.
Randy said hi. "Well, I hate to cut this short, but we've gotta run. Do you live around here?"
"I'm still in St. Louis, but we work landscape all over, so we're in and out of Louisville. We were headed to a job site, but I seen a girl that looked just like Dani sitting outside, so I had to see if it was her." Chris said smiling. "But we've gotta run to, so now that I know where you live, we'll have to get together sometime."
"Yeah, do you have a business card?" Randy asked while taking Dani's hand.
Dani smirked to herself, Randy was trying to hide his jealousy. There was a little part of Randy that always got jealous if she was talking to other guys that weren't mutual friends of theirs.
Chris gave Randy his card, "Call me, we'll barbecue sometime."
"Sounds good, see ya." Randy said.
Dani smiled and waved, "It was good seeing you Chris."
"Likewise Dani, likewise." Chris said as he and the others got in the truck and drove off.
Dani got in the truck, "I was staying with Janelle." She said to Randy.
"Do you have your keys for there with you?" Randy asked, knowing that he given his sister the keys to Dani's car.
"Yup, they're on a separate keychain in my purse." Dani replied. "You're off all week?" She asked.
Randy nodded, "Yup, I don't go back till Thursday."
"What would you think about me taking Monday thru Thursday off from work so we could just be together?" Dani asked holding his hand.
Randy smiled, "We could leave tonight and go somewhere for a long weekend, we could come back Tuesday just in time for your appointment on Wednesday."
"That would be great." Dani smiled.
"I'll tell you what, I'll drop you off to pack, I'm going to run a few errands, and I'll be back to pick you up in say 20 minutes?" Randy offered.
"Sounds good."
They pulled up and Dani kissed him and hopped out. "Call me if you're going to be late or early."
"Alright, see ya." Randy said and he drove off. "I'll plan an unforgettable weekend." He had all sorts of ideas.
Well, what do we think will happen? What will Randy plan? What do you guys think? Thanks again for reading, and I'll have another chapter up tomorrow. (Which is also my birthday!)
PS: The song belongs to Keith Urban, not me. Please don't sue me!
