Chapter Three; Backing Out
Author's Note: Maybe you'll read the damn thing if it's here... Lol... Well the title says it all...
After getting some humorous warnings from all of her friends, even Trish, who just warned him not to hurt her. He had to admit the only ones that truly freaked him out were Jeff, Chris, Jason, Adam and even Matt. Matt had only warned that she was a great girl and he could never allow anyone to hurt her without paying a price.
Either so that meant that he had to make sure she hurt him or he had to marry her or something like that. He rolled his eyes at both stupid thoughts. He ran a hand threw his hair and glared at the redhead who sat across from him. After taking a deep breath, she glared down at the floor.
"So you wanted to talk about something... What was it?" Amy asked as she glared back at him.
"Well, I ah... Don't know how to say this..." He started.
"You don't know how say what?" She interrupted.
"I don't know how to say... uh..." He started, yet again.
"Just spit it out..." She replied.
"If you stop interrupting me then maybe I can stumble onto the words..." He said with a laugh.
"Maybe... But I really have to be somewhere in like ten minutes." She stated.
"Okay... Okay... Amy... I ah... I have these weird... Feelings for you..." He started.
"Weird? As in what?" She asked quickly.
"As in... I..." He declared, but was cut off by the door flinging open.
Randy came in and put his hands on his hips. "Playing naggin' parent aint my idea of spending my morning... Now I have been asked, no ordered, to tell you Amy that Jeff needs you to come NOW..."
"Can this just wait?" John asked.
"NO! Now she has to get her ass down there, before Jeff talks the paint off the walls..." Randy replied.
"Who's with him?" Amy questioned.
"Matt... Chris... And some dude named Shannon." Randy stated.
She rolled her eyes and got off the couch. After sending John a glare she stated she'd return after talking to the four men.
Later that day found Amy with Dawn and Trish. After finishing lunch with Matt, Jeff, Chris and Shannon Amy was dragged away by Dawn and Trish to the mall.
"Remind me why I'm here again..." Amy muttered.
"Cause it's the mall of America! How many times do I need to state that?" Dawn questioned.
"As much as I 'enjoy' malls this thing is a little too BIG for my taste..." Amy started.
"It has your favorite stores..." Trish teased.
"Oh really? I guess we could visit them then leave..." Amy replied.
"No way... Now let's go and check out that store..." Dawn said as she pointed out 'Debs'.
"Dawn, we've been to that store before... It's so common..." Trish stated.
"Exactly... The clothes suck there anyway..." Amy agreed.
"Excuse me? You don't need to look, but I am..." Dawn declared.
After spending a good half an hour in the store the three divas left in search of another store. Trish and Dawn picking out most of the stores. Amy kept her mouth shut and trailed behind the two. Two hours later Amy was more than ready to protest to leaving.
"Dawn... I'm tired..." Trish complained.
"I'd never thought I'd hear that out of your mouth..." Amy replied with a laugh.
"You and me both... Nevertheless, I'm tired... Jason and I went out last night for our first anniversary and well you know what married couples do when they have an anniversary..." Trish stated.
"Of course! Go out to eat, exchange gifts, tell one another how happy you are that you're with them, and then for the finisher make love 'til the sun goes down... I should know, Eddie and I do that... However we aren't married..." Dawn pointed out.
"Well you're engaged..." Amy reminded.
"So that counts as something... But of course it's nothing compared to being married." Trish declared.
"Ames, you're the only one that isn't in a relationship... Seriously, Trish is married... I'm engaged... Vi's wedding is in six weeks... Torrie's gettin' serious with Rey now... Although Stac just broke up with Matt... But still, you need a man." Dawn insisted.
"No I don't need one, well right now I don't really want one either..." Amy replied.
"Oh yeah right, you are totally into John right now..." Trish argued.
"Sure I may be 'into' him, but I don't think he feels the same way about me..." Amy admitted.
"Then tell him how you feel and take a damn risk." Dawn suggested.
"Pushy... All I have to say is stay out of this, okay? This is my life, not yours... So let's just go so I can talk to John..." Amy hissed.
"Talk to John about what?" Dawn questioned.
"Dawn..." Amy warned as she rolled her eyes.
"Right... 'Stay out of it'..." Dawn replied as she glared down at the titled flooring of the mall.
After returning to the hotel from their little 'shopping spree' Amy searched for Randy. 'Find Randy, find John...' She though. Truth was the so-called 'Legend Killer' would be certainly easier to find than the 'Dr. of Thuganomics' would be. Of course Randy would probably be either with John or Chris or someone like that.
She had checked at least every guy she knew from Chris to Jason to Adam, none had seen neither Randy nor John. Matt and Jeff, of course, were absent from the hotel on some type of 'wedding errand' for Adam. Amy knew it was probably some ridiculous thing Adam obviously forgot to do and didn't want Victoria knowing about it. Most likely invitations or getting the tuxedo.
She exited Adam's room and slowly walked down the halls looking at the patterns on the carpet below her feet. She turned the corner and ran smack dab into another person. She didn't care, but the person who she bumped into seemed to care very much.
"Sorry..." She muttered after falling flat down to the floor.
"No... I'm very sorry... I should have been watching-- Are you okay?" He asked as he reached his hand out.
"Fallen on my ass doesn't really bother me... I mean really, I've taken worse." She insisted as she took his hand.
Finally she glared at him, blue eyes locked with hazel. She found who she was 'looking' for and yet at the same time she didn't.
"I was sort of looking for you..." She admitted.
"Sort of? Is that code for you don't wanna admit it?" He asked with a grin.
"No, I was looking for you to find someone else..." She replied with a laugh.
"John, I bet..." He started. "Yeah he's freaking out because he thinks he said something to make you uncomfortable or scare you away..."
"No, Dawn and Trish found the need to go to the mall... Don't understand why, but they needed to." She explained.
"I can see that happening..." He assured her.
"Yeah, well, do you know where John is, Randy?" She asked.
"Ah... Yeah..." He replied as he glared at her hand, which was still in his, oddly.
She, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind or even notice. What an odd situation this was turning out to be. Their hands were together and they were close for two people who didn't know each other.
"Randy-- Amy... I was lookin' for ya... I... We... What's going on here?" John asked as he walked up to the two glaring at their joined hands.
"John, it isn't what it looks like, man... We bumped into one another, she fell, I helped her up..." Randy started.
"I don't suppose that explains why you're holdin' one another's hands?" John questioned.
"Honest mistake..." Randy replied as he let go of her hand.
"Mistake? Not to sound mean, or anything, but, why does it matter? Why do you owe him an explanation?" Amy asked.
"I ah... I mean I don't... He just asked..." Randy stated.
"Okay... Well, I've gotta go..." Amy said quickly, then turned to leave.
After she left, John glared at Randy. "Why would you do that, man? Hit on the girl I love..." John spat.
"I didn't hit on anyone... I helped her..." Randy declared.
"Yeah, whatever, just don't let it happen again... Now I need to catch up to her." John stated.
John quickly rushed to catch up to the redhead and when he finally did she was already opening her hotel room door.
"Amy..." John called as he jogged down the hall. She turned from her open door to him.
"John... Hey, I'm sorry 'bout before... I didn't mean to sound cruel, I was just curious..." She stated.
"Dude, it's okay... But I believe we need to finish a certain talk?" He declared.
"Ah, okay... Come on in..." She replied as she gestured to inside the room.
"Ladies first..." He insisted.
She walked in and he took a gulp before entering her room and closing the door behind him. 'Okay, you can handle this... It's just her hotel room, you're alone... In her hotel room... Oh my god, I can't handle this... I can't do it... Can't do it... Can't do it... Snap out of it, John! You can do this... You can do this! No you can't, you can't...' He argued with his thoughts as she sat down on the edge of the bed in front of him.
"Are you, okay?" She asked.
"Ah, yeah, I'm fine..." He announced. 'Yeah, right... Stop lying to yourself, and her... You can't do this, at least not yet...'
'I wonder why he's so jumpy all the sudden... Like he was earlier... I don't think I can tell him that I like him, no technically love him... Bet he has a girlfriend already, anyway...' She thought as she watched him. 'What I would do to him if only he knew how I felt... That is if he feels the same way... Who am I kidding? He's probably more into rapper chicks or girls like Trish...'
"So what were we even talking about before?" She asked after snapping out of her thoughts.
"Ah, I..." He started. 'No, you aren't ready... Not now...' "Can't remember."
"Oh... Well what would you like to talk about then?" She replied.
"Ah, I don't know..." He said as he glared down at the floor.
"Well I'm sort of expectin' someone in a bit... So..." She started.
"Understood... I'll talk to ya later then?" He stated quickly before turning to leave.
"Yeah sure..." Amy mumbled as he opened the door then left.
Therefore, they both felt the same way, yet neither had the guts to tell the other. This bothered Dawn, she knew how both felt. They were both her good friends, yet both had asked her to stay out of it. Dawn really wanted to help, but didn't have the guts to go against both of their wishes.
There could be some way she could hook them up without them knowing it. However, it wouldn't be so easy being that she'd have to be very sneaky about it. In the end, she knew that they would be grateful. She couldn't wait until they got together...
To Be Continued...
What do you think? Should I continue or just leave it as is? (I know you'll probably strangle me if I do... lol)
