Chapter 49

Randy woke at the crack of dawn. Still half asleep he smiled as he felt a soft warm body curled up next to him, he snuggled closer to the warmth as he opened his eyes.

He almost recoiled in shock when he realised it was Becki that his arms were wrapped around. Panicking he quickly but carefully disentangled himself from her before making a speedy exit from her room while Bex still slept peacefully.

Now wide awake he made his way down to the kitchen, he didn't bother to go to his room first and throw on a shirt, he didn't think anyone would care if he walked around in just his sweat pants.

"Oh…um…hey!" he stuttered as he came across another person in the kitchen.

"Yeah…hey!" John muttered as he looked up from his cup of coffee.

Randy felt like a deer caught in the headlights, he knew John would have seen him in bed with Bex and even though he hadn't done anything wrong he still felt like he had something to hide. But he did have something to hide, didn't he?

"Um…what you doing here?"

"Came back to surprise Bex. You seem uncomfortable Randy! Why?" John asked as he stood up his blood boiling, it didn't help that Randy was shirtless and he had just got out of bed with Bex.

Randy gulped, John looked pissed and that meant trouble for Randy.

"Just wasn't expecting you back that's all" he replied as John approached him.

"Oh I bet you wasn't!"

"Look John…."

"Shut up Randy" John snapped "Care to explain why you are sharing a bed with MY girl?"

"John, she had a nightmare and asked me to stay with her, that's all" Randy tried to explain.

"Doesn't explain why you were wrapped around her"

"The only way she could get comfortable was if I put my arm round her. Dude it was harmless" Randy replied unconvincingly.

By now John had backed Randy up against the wall "You don't sound very convincing! I'll tell you this once man, and you'd better listen…..keep your hands off Bex! You hear me?" Randy started to get mad, he'd done nothing wrong.

"Whoa, wait a minute! Get off my back, I've done nothing other than take care of her which is what YOU wanted me to do!" he shoved John away from him as Joanne walked in rubbing her eyes, she was still half asleep.

She jumped as John shoved Randy back up against the wall and shouted "Why so defensive? Keep your hands off my girlfriend!"

"John get off him" Jo tried to prise John off of Randy "What's going on?"

Joanne had already guessed it had something to do with Randy sleeping in Becki's bed. The previous morning she had walked in on them curled up together, she had shrugged it off as she knew it was completely innocent but judging by the look on Johns face, he didn't! Looking at Randy she began to think he didn't find it completely innocent either.

"He is being totally unreasonable! She had a nightmare! She needed comfort" Randy yelled

"Not from you she doesn't" John yelled back as Jo forced him backwards and away from Randy.

"You've lost it man! What was I supposed to do? Leave her to cry in her sleep? Get over yourself!"

Joanne yelped as she jumped out of the way of John who lunged at Randy. Jeff appeared as they started rolling around fighting while Jo shouted at them to stop.

"What the hell?" Jeff muttered as he ran over and tried to separate them.

"Jo, go get Matt" he ordered as he tried to pull Randy off John but ended up landing on his ass as John pushed Randy off him and lunged at him again, knocking him into the hallway.

Jeff had given up by the time Matt came down, he just stood there with his hands in the air as Randy John rolled around on the floor at his feet.

"Stop them" Joanne pleaded from her position on the stairs.

"Ok, Ok" Matt mumbled as he headed over to Jeff.

"You get him" Matt pointed to Randy before he bent down and wrapped his arms round John's waist.

Jeff did the same to Randy and the brothers forcefully pulled Randy and John apart.

"Your crazy" Randy spat as he shrugged Jeff off and stormed up the stairs past Joanne to his room.

Joanne winced as she heard his bedroom door slam,

'Well if Bex wasn't awake she is now!' she thought to herself as she watched both Matt and Jeff force John back into the kitchen as he fumed.

Deciding it was best to leave John to Matt and Jeff she headed back upstairs to check on Bex. Randy's door slamming had woke her up slightly but she was still quite groggy due to the painkillers she was taking.

"What's going on?" she mumbled as Joanne appeared in the doorway.

"Oh, nothing! Just Jeff trying to wake the dead! Go back to sleep" Jo silently thanked the painkillers for leaving Bex drowsy, she didn't want to explain to her that John and Randy had been fighting over her.

"Hmmm ok" Jo smiled and quietly shut the door behind her.

Walking a little further down the hall she stopped outside a door and knocked.

"What!"

"Can I come in?" she heard movement at the other side of the door and a few seconds later the door opened.

"I don't think I need to ask what that was about" she said as she followed Randy over to his bed and sat down next to him.

"Then don't!" Randy snapped

"Sheesh!" Jo replied

"Sorry! Its just…..argh what's his problem?" Randy started pacing in front of her.

"Monster…green eyes….ring a bell?"

"Yeah well that's not my problem"

Joanne pulled him back down to sit next to her "Your making me dizzy! Rand tell me something?"

"What?" he sighed

"The look you had on your face when John was yelling, it was like you were guilty of something!"

"Why would I be guilty?" he asked but he couldn't look her in the eye.

"You tell me"

Randy was silent for a moment before he sighed loudly and held his head in his hands "I'm so confused Jo!"

'Uh-oh' Jo thought

"Why?"

"I think I like her!"

"Oh Randy!" Jo sighed exasperated "I thought you were into Mel"

"I am! When Bex isn't there I know I like Mel but when Bex is there it gets all confused"

'Why can things not be simple?' Jo asked herself.

"So John has been right?"

"I never really thought anything of it till he said something"

"Are you jealous when you see them together?"

"No, not really" Randy fell back onto the bed and stared at the ceiling.

"It's probably just a crush!"

"Your so helpful Jo" Randy replied sarcastically

Hitting him in the stomach Jo replied "Just don't act on it or make it anymore obvious to John"

"Oh yeah like I'd do that"

"Stay here I'm gonna go talk to John"

Matt and Jeff had barricaded John into the kitchen, he'd kept trying to get past them so he could either yell at or attack Randy some more. They'd managed to get him to sit down but he was still fuming and hadn't calmed down much when Jo arrived.

"Hey" she said as she cautiously approached John at the table as Matt and Jeff watched from the doorway.

"Hi" John muttered

"Wanna tell me what's going on?"

"No!"

"Ok! I'm just gonna sit here with you while you calm down then"

"Fine" he muttered as Jo waved Matt and Jeff away. They shrugged and headed to the living room.

"Want another coffee?" Jo asked when she noticed he was staring into an empty cup.

"Thanks"

Joanne poured them both a cup in silence, she handed him the cup and sat back down opposite him.

"So….you kept last night quiet didn't you?"

"Huh? Oh yeah" John looked up and smiled slightly "I only got the call two days before and I wasn't allowed to tell anyone"

"How was it?"

"Amazing"

"Glad you went back to work then?"

John shrugged "Yeah! But I'd rather Bex be there with me"

"She will be soon! As long as you don't start attacking everyone that tries to take care of her"

"Jo!" John warned

"Sorry but its true. Randy was only doing as you asked"

"I didn't ask him to share a bed with her!" he snapped

"No! But you didn't see how she was when she had that nightmare, she was terrified"

John felt kinda stupid but he couldn't help it when he saw Randy in bed with Bex, he just saw red.

"I guess I've won the stupid award again huh?"

Joanne chuckled "Yup! Listen even if you had reason to be jealous of Randy, Bex loves you and you have nothing to worry about there" she had no intention of telling him that Randy did actually like Becki, she was hoping he'd snap out of it before John caught on.

John shrugged "Can I go see my girl now?"

"Your green eyed friend gone?"

"Yeah" John sniggered

"Ok your free to go"

John opened her bedroom door quietly and smiled when he found her still sleeping. Walking over to the bed he lay down beside her and threw his arm across her waist. He kissed her softly on the cheek as she stirred in her sleep and whispered,

"Randy"
